foreach (PropertyInfo PropertyItem in this.GetType().GetProperties()) {
PropertyItem.SetValue(this, objDataTable.Rows[0][PropertyItem.Name.ToString()], null);
}
In one of the loops i get this exceptional error:
Object of type 'System.DBNull' cannot be converted to type 'System.String'.
The error occurs because one of the fields in the database has no value (null), so the string property could not handle it. How can I convert this null to string? I'm trying to avoid checking on every loop is current value is null or not.
I tried this
Dim value As
String
Dim returnValue As

I'm developing a TextBox Component that is suited for handling passwords. I was using A string Builder to hold the password But now I discovered the Secure String! It is Perfect for what I want to do except one Problem! How do you get it back to a normal string! I've heard you can convert it to a BSTR and then use windows API to read the memory location and convert that to a string.
View 2 RepliesI have an third part dll that have a function that returns a string.When I call the function I got for example "123456" back. At least it seams like that, but when i do mystring.length it does not return any length. If I set the text property of a label it shows "123456".
When I have the string I got from the dll I send it to a webservice function:
rem call dll and get string
dim mystring as string=mydll.getstring()
rem Send it to the webservice
webservice.SaveString(mystring)
The webservice crashes with an webexeption ("protocoll error") when I send in the string I got from the dll. If I instead send it like this:
rem call dll and get string
dim mystring as string=mydll.getstring()
rem Send it to the webservice
dim FixedString as string = mid(mystring,1,6)
webservice.SaveString(mystring)
Then it works and everything is fine. That leads me to think that the string I got from the DLL is in someway not terminated correct.And I dont know how to fix it from vb.net (I cant change the DLL)and I dont know in beforehand how long the string will be.The dll does only work on site when specific hardware is connected so I can't sit at the office trying to fix this in dev-environment. So I would like to have some possibly solutions to this before I go to the customer again.
Edit 1:I tried to just do a loop that looped from 1 to 100 (because I dont know the real length) and tried to copy all characters that <>"" to a new variable but it didnt work. I didnt try other variants because the day was over and I had to leave the customer site.
Edit 2:The DLL Im talking to is made in VB6. That DLL is talking to other DLLs that is made in C++ (I think).
My program < - > vb6-DLL <-> c++-DLL <-> hardware
i am working in windows appl vb.net 08. And i am working in Access DataBase.I have one Table Called "Person" . In this "Person" Table one Column Name Called "OtherName". In this Column binded in one of the Combobox in a Form.But the Problem is "OtherName" Column having the Null Values.Before i bind this Column to Combobox i want to convert this NULL Values to String. Why i need the values in STRING means , In my code i using this Combobox as a filter in SQL Query.If i didn`t change the Null Value to STRING , The Combobox SelectedText or SelectedValue is Showing Nothing. So i am not able to get the Record.
Whn i write a Sql Query to Combobox and apply filter in WHERE statement like Combobox.Selectedtext or Combobox.SelectedValue In "Selected Change Committed Event" then i should get the record in the Output right but unfortunatly i am not getting the Record. The Record Count in DebugPrint showing 0.

I'm reading a binary file. Apparently its older, and some of its values are based not on position, but on null terminated bytes. Position 17 thru 35 represents a value, however, if their is a null byte at 30, then you get garbage if you try to read 17 thru 35 as a value...
I need to read, specifically, from 17 to 29 in this instance because pos 30 is a null byte.
Have to read it byte by byte, no problem. Not sure though the syntax of comparing a null byte specifically.
If you need a sample of the binary file, I can post it.
I am trying to call an external C++ function using VB.NET (answers in C# are fine, I can convert back) which returns a list of device names. This comes in the form of a pointer to a null-terminated array of null-terminated char arrays (correct me if I've misunderstood what I'm dealing with) with a function signature:
long GetNames(char*** names)
Most of the answers to similar questions I've found have involved something more like:
long GetNames(char** names, int length)
It appears from what I've read that I need to give it an IntPtr but I'm uncertain as to how this should be initialized, and in my case I don't know the length of the array. At the moment, in the VB module, I have:
<DllImport("MyExternal.dll", CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.Cdecl)> _
Function GetNames(ByRef names as IntPtr) As UInteger
End Function
I've tried calling the function by passing an IntPtr initialized as IntPtr.Zero or using Marshall.AllocHGlobal, but I always get an AccessViolationException.
Any ideas on how I should be calling this function and how I get the return value into a managed string array would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I've found a sample function call in native C as follows:
char **tmplist;
GetNames(&tmplist)
Is there any possibility to make this true?I mean we can't use { } as a normal text in String.Format()
View 4 RepliesI'd like to convert a string which contains a decimal number into string that contains the binary value, the octal and the hexadecimal value of that decimal number.Afterwards I also like to convert a string containing a binary, octal and hexd. number into a decimal string.Basically I'm looking for the functions:
dec2bin
dec2oct
dec2hex
bin2dec
oct2dec
hex2dec
I'd not prefer to rewrite a function, I'm sure the framework must have these functions already.
in my application, I am pulling in items from a microsoft project file using mpxj - one of the items I need is the predecessors. The way I am able to pull the predecessor is using a build in function of mpxj which returns a type of java.util.list - I can save this to variable as an object, but I need to find a way to bring the data to a format I can easily use so I can store it into a database. Listed below is the line of code I am using to pull the predecessors from the project file.
Dim predecessors = task.getPredecessors
and here is the result when putting a tracepoint in to get the value of predecessors
[[Relation [Task id=4 uniqueID=45577 name=Standards Training - Round 2] -> [Task id=3 uniqueID=45576 name=Process Excellence Training]]]
Even if I could get the above as a string, I could work with it enough to get the data I need. The above example is where there is 1 item in the predecessor list, but sometimes there are multiple items. Here is an example of the tracepoint when there are multiple items.
[[Relation [Task id=63 uniqueID=45873 name=Complete IP Binder] -> [Task id=47 uniqueID=45857 name=Organizational Assessment]], [Relation [Task id=63 uniqueID=45873 name=Complete IP Binder] -> [Task id=49 uniqueID=45859 name=Document Deliverables]], [Relation [Task id=63 uniqueID=45873 name=Complete IP Binder] -> [Task id=56 uniqueID=45866 name=Infrastructure Deliverables]], [Relation [Task id=63 uniqueID=45873 name=Complete IP Binder] -> [Task id=58 uniqueID=45868 name=IT Deliverables]], [Relation [Task id=63 uniqueID=45873 name=Complete IP Binder] -> [Task id=60 uniqueID=45870 name=Organizational Deliverables]]]

I'm also pulling info from the bios, disk drives, video, etc. What I've noticed, is although it runs fine on my pc, it may error out on some pcs since it is hardware dependent.I'm having trouble implementing a check to find if it exists before I convert to a string and add it to my overall string.
This must've have been asked before but I couldn't locate it. In a mixed code project (VB and C#) we were debugging some old Visual Basic code where a statement as follows could be found:
If Request.Params("xxx") <> "" Then
'do something
I considered this a bug as Request.Params could be null, in which case the statement would've become false which wasn't the idea. So I thought. I just found out, -- probably for the tenth time and I will keep forgetting -- that the following two statements are not equal, while Nothing in VB should be equal to null in C# (thought I):
if(String.Empty == null) // always false
If String.Empty = Nothing Then ' always true
Should I dismiss this as a typical Microsoft backward compatibility effort, or should I consider this a huge error in the VB.NET compiler? Does anybody know the Microsoftean opinion on this oddity?
I'm working on a mass text replacer program because I'm sick of all the 10-day trial ones out there that aren't very good.The entire program is basically finished (All easy stuff), but now I need to code the actual replace/delete stuff, which I'm stuck on because apparently the way I originally intended to do it is not possible.
The way it works is you load a text file (.txt, .cfg, .ini, .doc, etc.) which opens a StreamReader which writes all the data into a listbox. Then you pick whether you want to replace or delete a string. If you select replace, then you enter the string to search for and in another textbox you enter the string to replace it with.
The way I originally intended to do this was like this:
If o1.Text = "Replace" Then 'The option
Replace(txtfile, str1, a1) 'txtfile is the data, str1 is the string to find and a1 is the replacement
End If
The problem is, I believe this method requires txtfile, str1 and a1 to be strings, but they're all 1-dimensional string arrays, which cannot be converted to strings, or at least I don't know how to convert them.
A friend told me one way I could do this is to open both a StreamReader and StreamWriter and do the replace/delete line by line as they are entered into the memory and write them to a temporary file which is then copied over the original. I can do this kind of, but I still don't know the proper way of doing the actual replace code because the string to find and the string to replace with are still 1-dimensional string arrays rather than strings.

To be able to sort a dictionary by value I'm using this code:

Value of type 'System.Func(Of String, String)' cannot be converted to 'System.Converter(Of String, String)
Why? They are both effectively a function pointer (or delegate?) to a function that accept a string and return a string.
