Convert An Int (bit Value From SQL Server) To A Boolean Value?
Aug 2, 2010What is the best way to convert an int (bit value from SQL Server) to a Boolean value in vb.net? I am currently using Cbool, but believe this is now obsolete.

I am looking to convert an integer into a boolean array where each item in the array corresponds to a bit in the binary representation of the integer.
MyInteger = 3 '011 in binary
to
MyArray(2) = False
MyArray(1) = True
MyArray(0) = True
Also is there anyway to assign a value to an Integer in binary or hex (like MyInteger = 1010b or MyInteger = A7h)?
From what I read it is a good convention to name a method that returns a boolean value with the prefix of "is" or "has". So in keeping with this convention I am trying to name a method in my program with this prefix but I am running Specifically I have a class called Day. It is a simple class with a few data members and one method that returns a boolean value of true or false. The name of the boolean variable is isSpecialDay. This class has a method called isSpecialDay which takes the date of the day, applies some criteria to the date and then sets the variable isSpecialDay to true or false. My problem is that the boolean variable is named isSpecialDay and so it the method. What should I do?
Public Class Day
Private TheDate as String
Private DayName as String

The following image or RTF file illustrates how I'm trying to transform an input Byte array into an output array of Booleans. This is basically what I have listed below. figure out how to get from one array to the next while shifting values of bytes within 8 byte groupings to shift low order to high order or vica versa. What I mean by that is best seen by looking at the illustration of actual input an required output. The reason for this is that the hardware devices have registers and the display which can be seen in the links above needs to convey the disabled sensor cable cell locations.

View 2 RepliesI have a field in the database that is XML because it represents a class that is used in C#/VB.Net. Problem is after the initial manipulation most, but not all, of themanipulation is done in SQL Server. This means that the XML field is converted on the fly.As we are getting more fields and more records, this operation is getting slow. I think the slow down is the converting all of those fields to other data types.So to speed it up I was thinking of a couple of ways:Have a set of tables that represent the different pieces of the XML data. I would make these tables read only using a trigger on Insert/Update that would reject any changes. My 'main' table with the XML in it when it updates the XML would turn off the triggers, update the tables with the new values then turn the triggers back on.
The only real reason we use the XML is because it's really easy to convert it to the class in C#/VB.Net. But I'm getting the point where I may end up writing a routine that will take all the bits and pieces and convert it to a class and also a function to go the other way (class -> tables).
How do I achieve the same in VB.NET which is so easily done in SQL Server.
Select Case(GetDate() as VarBinary(8)) --Gives the Current Time in Hex
How can I create the same string in VB.NET so that I can compare in SQL Server as such -
Select Case When GetDate()=Cast(0X00009F5E00D8DF7C As DateTime) Then 'True' Else 'False' End -- 0X00009F5E00D8DF7C Will be the value I get in VB.NET When I convert it Date.Now() To Hex

View 1 RepliesI have this situation where I have a SqlDatasource control and the select query is like:
SELECT col1, col2 FROM table1 WHERE colDate = @date
The source of @date is a label with the text: 2009-05-29 12:06:00 I get the following error when I run the query:
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string
I tried using convert(datetime, @date), as well as different date/time formatting of the label itself. Everytime I get the error.
However, when I run the query in the management studio like:
SELECT col1, col2 FROM table1 WHERE colDate = '2009-05-29 12:06:00'
I found out that the @date is parsed as 05-29-2009 01:30:00 TT I don't know where the TT is coming from? And I'm sure SQL Server wouldn't be able to handle it?
I am attempting to import data in a batch from an Excel Worksheet to a Sql Server database. Everything works except for the one date field in the spreadsheet. The date returned is off by four years from the value in the spreadsheet. Example: The Excel sheet has a date 10/24/2010 14:18, but when I look at the column in my query, the date is 10/23/2006 2:18. This pattern, 4 years and 1 day earlier, is repeated for every row in the worksheet.
The Excel column comes to me as a custom type, formatted m/d/yyyy h:mm. I receive this from an outside vendor and having them change the column is not going to be my simplest solution.
For what it's worth, the relevent part of the query is:
Select [Date Created] From MyWorksheet

View 1 RepliesI am working on a little Hardware interface project based on the Velleman k8055 board.The example code comes in VB.Net and I'm rewriting this into C#, mostly to have a chance to step through the code and make sense of it all.
One thing has me baffled though:At one stage they read all digital inputs and then set a checkbox based on the answer to the read digital inputs (which come back in an Integer) and then they AND this with a number:[code..]
I have not done Digital systems in a while and I understand what they are trying to do but what effect would it have to AND two numbers? Doesn't everything above 0 equate to true?How would you translate this to C#?
I am converting some C# code to VB, the following code is part of a function

I'm taking a course in Visual Basic 2010 and I'm trying to get a grasp on this new term called a flag. I kind of understand that it has something to do with a boolean condition. I don't quite understand what a flag is. I see references to it using the term flag. I understand it has something to do when a boolean, a condition triggers a flag. But what is the flag.

If I try to put a string into a Boolean variable such as this:
Dim testValue As String = "True"
Dim bool1 As Boolean = testValue
With Option Strict On I get an error and the suggested fix is to change the second line to:
Dim bool1 As Boolean = CBool(testValue)
This is fine, But - what are the advantages / disadvantages of doing this instead:
Dim bool1 As Boolean = Boolean.Parse(testValue)
I'm working with Visual Basic 2008 Express. My application opens with the Terms screen, a form that asks the user to declare his acceptance of certain terms and conditions or to decline. If he accepts, the app opens the main screen, giving him access to all the app's facilities. If he declines, the app gives him a message and then closes. Whether he chooses to accept or decline, the app puts his decision in My.Settings so that it can be used next time the app is opened. In this way he is presented with the Terms screen on the next opening if he declined on the last run. But if he accepted on the last run, he is presented with the main screen on his next opening.
All works fine when I do a debug run. But when I build and publish the app onto my desktop it opens with the Main screen instead of the Terms screen.
why it works on F5 but not after publishing?

I'm creating a program in which I have a publicly defined boolean value.Public boolOverallStatus As Boolean = True
and I need to execute some code whenever the boolean value changes. In previous applications, an actual form item change handled this, but it can be changed by several different subs.How would I handle this? I'm looking through msdn, but it's rather confusing. In a nutshell: How to execute code when the event of a boolean value changing occurs.
I have the following code in an Asp.Net user control:
Me.pnlAddComment.Visible = MyBase.Associate.IsAgent()
Me.lblRating.Visible = Me.pnlAddComment.Visible
Me.Rating1.Visible = Me.pnlAddComment.Visible
Now when I run this code, the value of MyBase.Associate.IsAgent() is true. Yet at no point is Me.pnlAddComment.Visible evaluating to true. When I output the results as Response.Write statements, it shows IsAgent = True, pnlAddComment.Visible = False. When I run it in debug mode, placing the line break on the second line above to allow the set to occur: I put the mouse over IsAgent and it displays "True"; I put the mouse over pnlAddComment.Visible and it displays "False".
A Co-worker suggested that it's possible that it's Panel.Visible black box code in the getter that allows the assignment to occur but returns false because some parent object is set (at that point in the code execution) to False. I've reviewed the parent objects and at no time do any of them appear to be set to not visible.
If this were a reference type I might be convinced that some other process is modifying the reference between this assignment and when it is actually used (at Render), but this is happening right at this line of code.What would cause this boolean assignment to behave this way without throwing an exception?
Solution:The answer turned out to be a parent object in the control hierarchy located outside of the user control itself. Since nothing was explicitly set to false, and I agreed with @Shadow Wizard, @Damien_The_Unbeliever and @CodeMonkey1 that it had to be some outside control influencing the panel at that point, I decided to put a recursive while loop to test the parent of each user control in the hierarchy at that point:
Dim o as Object = Me.pnlAddComment.Parent
While o IsNot Nothing
Me.lblMessage.Text &= "<br />" & o.ID & ": " & o.Visible.ToString()
o = o.Parent
End While
Then I just ran this on the server and the output came back with the full visibility of each control in the chain. What ended up occurring is that this control was contained within a view control within a MultiView. This view control is expected to be visible as it is supposed to be the ActiveView for this particular call, but at the point in the life cycle when my code is run, the view has not been identified as the active view. Since it's not officially active, the view is implicitly false, and all child controls return a value of false when Visible is queried.
The rest of the assignments behave as expected from that point. The lblRating control is set to false (permanently) because at that moment the proper visibility setting for pnlAddComment is false. The lesson I've learned here is not to make control visibilities dependent on each other in this fashion when there is an alternative (and just as simple) method.
I want to perform a bitwise-AND operation in VB.NET, taking a Short (16-bit) variable and ANDing it with '0000000011111111' (thereby retaining only the least-significant byte / 8 least-significant bits).
