I'm saving the font of a label to a text file, and when I open the text file with my program, I want the label to have the same font that is listed within the text file. Now, the only problem I am having is that when I try to write the code for opening the text file, I can't set the font property of the label to a string. Label1.Font=[Font: Name=Microsoft Sans Serif, Size=9.75, Units=3, GdiCharSet=0, GdiVerticalFont= False]Here is what the code to open the text file and set the font of the label looks like:[code]The problem for the code happens at line 6. The error is: "Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to 'System.Drawing.Font'"ing each part of the font in the text file(i.e. Writing Font.Name and Font.Size properties in separate lines and then setting the label's font properties to each line accordingly), but I still get hit with the same error.

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.
I noticed when you kill winlongon.exe, you get a BSOD and your computer crashes. I have also noticed that a number of antiviruses including Norton and Kaspersky make their processes access denied, even to administrators! Even if you use a tool like PSKill or Process Explorer, you still can't kill them. For anyone who wants to see this for themselves, get Kaspersky antivirus and then try killing AVP.EXE from any task killing utility. It doesn't work!
I'm making an application which will limit certain processes from running on my computer until a master password has been entered, where upon the access to these processes will be unlocked. I don't want the user to be able to kill the process, but I want them to be able to use other programs (including task manger, etc). I have thought of many solutions to this, including having another process which will restart my main process whenever it is not present, but this brings forth the problem of a user simultaneously killing and then deleting both of the processes, possibly with a tool like Unlocker. I have also thought about disabling task manager, CMD and taskkill, but then I fear my program will become more like a virus than a legitimate piece of software, and also other utilities can be used which will kill processes.
My problem is that I don't want to be too constraining to the user of my application so that they are not able to use every day applications, but I don't want my application to be easy to circumvent, and thus become pointless.
I was given a school project in which I have to make a program that converts numbers between binary,decimal,octal and hexadecimal systems. I have figured out how to make a function to convert binary number to decimal number [code]With this code,a user can enter a number that isn't binary,and program will calculate it. How can I make that program doesn't calculate those numbers or doesn't accept anything else than 0 or 1? This is needed for other cases like octal and hexadecimal system.

I can extract
ColumnName = Item
ColumnSize = 80
DataType = System.String
But to write a Parameter I need to convert this to
UpDateCmd.Parameters.Add("Item", OleDbType.BSTR, 80).Value
Is there an easier way of converting DataType = System.String to OleDbType.BSTR than having to make a list with Select Case?Or is there a method to find OleDbType.BSTR rather than reading DataType = System.String?I also tried
SchemaTable = dbconn.GetOleDbSchemaTable(System.Data.OleDb.
OleDbSchemaGuid.Columns, New Object() {Nothing, Nothing, "Auction"})
Dim RowCount As Int32

I'm having a hard time in understanding xampp. I will need to change my database from ms access to xampp. I already test it in a sample program and it works! Now I want to convert my whole system so my first step is to delete the database in my system (ms access) then create a code that will connect my system to xampp, I'm done with those things. The BIG problems are I'm having 98 ERRORS and I cant figure it out. I dont know the equivalent code to xampp. Here's the code that has error. Note that it is just one of 98 errors in my system.
Me.TableAdapterManager1.UpdateOrder = FinalSystem.FinalDatabaseDataSetTableAdapters.TableAdapterManager.UpdateOrderOption.InsertUpdateDelete
xampp doesnt have any tableadapater, but what should I do to insertupdatedelete?

Here's the code...

I wrote the code below which calculates the length of a line on the form and save record. An error occurs when the programme tries to save the record. It gives me "Cannot perform '=' operation on System.Int32 and System.String" error. I checked the data type of "ID"(int), "Microscope"(Varchar), "Magnification"(int) and "Calibration"(Decimal), and they are fine so far as I know.
Code:
Private Sub btnEnd_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnEnd.Click
'Check if the length textbox is not empty

Here is the code I am working with, everything works fine up until last line then i get evaluate exception unhandled "Cannot perform '=' operation on System.Int32 and System.String." My eyes are going blind trying to figure out whats wrong, if I understand correctly it cant count system string and REO is a string value.
The thing i have done this before ,count that is. I know you cant average strings and some other function but i have been able to count.

View 2 RepliesIs it possible to extend primitive types such as System.String and System.Int32 (IE: integer) in .Net 4 and if so how?
To be more specific, I am aware of the concept of partial classes but this doesnt seem to be the answer. Also I find that System.String is not inheritable and Int32 is a structure.
Lastly I am interested in knowing both a VB.Net and C# answer to the above question.

I am using the .NET Framework 2.0, and I am trying to code a client bot for a game called Minecraft, Originally written in Java, there have been quite a few people who have made custom multi-player servers for this game, Primarily in C#, or in a language that i've never heard of, such as Pascal.I'm looking right now at sending this:

I don't understand why this whole thing would work in all of the other programming languages, but not Visual basic.I have tried converting the string using the same method that one of the open source C# servers used, and it failed, telling me that the dictionary does not contain that or something.
