May 27, 2011
How to create a console application which would read input from user and assign the input to a variable? The problem is, I need to enter several words on one line separated with blank spaces like "ab cd efg" and then assign ab to one variable, cd to another variable and efg to another variable. Also the entered words can be any lenght.
Vb is not my language of choice , but I have to do this for school and I'm not having a very easy time with VB's documentation.I'm just creating a very simple console application that accepts user input: degrees in Celsius, and converts it into Fahrenheit. I want to make sure that if the user just hits enter without entering the degrees in Celsius, then an if else statement will catch and write to enter Celsius again.Here's what I've tried:
I have a procedure at the end of my console application that ask the user to either hit enter to end the program, or type s to perform another search. The issue I'm having is no matter what the user types in the program end. What I would like to happen is if the user types s, then the program starts over and lets the user perform another search. The program is procedural and I need to find a way to start back off at the top of the program which ask the user to type a name to search.
I want to create one help file for my whole application. and once user press help button next to any input control then appropriate help topic from file should get display. how can i create this functionality in vb.net?
I know how to read user input using textbox but it only can read character and numbers. Is it possible that I want to read user input equation?
Example:
User type A+B User put range of A and B. 1.25<A< 3.56 2.45<B< 9.87
I failed to read the equation using textbox. Is it there are other ways that can use to read equation input A+B?I am using VS2005 and VB.Net. I really new in this programming using VB.Net.
How to accept input into a vb.net console application? How Do I allow people to type into a vb.net console application, and then press enter, and then the console application writes that and uses the console.writeline function to write what the person typed in into the network stream(or whatever its called).
What i want to do, is to get my console application to read from a .txt file (with one word per line), and randomly select a line from that file and declare it as chosenword. However, i am not sure what i must do to do that.
I have a problem with reading and writing to the console from a windows form application.
I am running visual studios 2010 and I am coding in visual basic.The current code that I have is as follows:
Declare Function AttachConsole Lib "kernel32.dll" (ByVal dwProcessId As Int32) As Boolean Declare Function FreeConsole Lib "kernel32.dll" () As Boolean System.Console.Write("abc") Dim test as string = Console.ReadLine() System.Console.Clear() ect FreeConsole()
With the following code I can write to the console but I cannot read from it,
Just wondering if there is anyway to read each line of text that is output from a console application?
Basically I want to use PSEXEC through a vb.net GUI application and I would like to be able to read any error codes that may occur from the command line.
I am trying to make a program using Visual Basic that will allow the user to add links to web pages (such as www.google.ca) to a list in the program and make it so that they do not dissapear once the program is closed.
So to get into more detail, I have a text box, a listview, and a button. When the user types a link into the text box it needs to be put into an array (called "addlink") and then when the user presses the button, the link is typed into the listview as an object.
Then if the user clicks on that object in the listview, it will open up the browser using the WebBrowser command. How do I set the text in the textbox to an array once the button is clicked?

I want to create a console application with commands that can be entered by the user, but to make my application reconize those commands do I have to have an if statement for every command, or can I do something like this[code]...
I am using VB in VS 2008. I have written a program which loads data into SQL Server nightly. It is a Windows Forms application which runs well from Task Scheduler when a user is logged in. However when I try to run it when there is no user logged in, the program starts but it just sits idle.
The latest assignment from my teacher was to create a console program where the user enters a character and the respective ASCII value in Denary, Hexadecimal and Binary, Even Parity, Odd Parity and Hamming code is returned.I've managed to implement all of them except the latter with relative ease, I am familiar with the concept of Hamming code and can compute it easily by hand, but don't really know how to implement it as a function in my program.

My winforms application will display 100 different names, and I will need the user to enter a number 1 through 4 next toeach name.I will then store this data.I know I can use the spreadsheet control,but is there something much simpler that I can use? Maybe an array of textboxes or a datagrid?
Trying to imitate a Messagebox - in that, a sub will not continue until the user "deals with" the pop up.
For example, in a sub, I want a Form to pop up, and ask a user a question, and give them 3 options. I want to make it so the user must click an option, and then the sub that called it can carry on it's way.
how to create a form that allows a user to load an input file? I'm assuming a form like a windows explorer window will be too difficult, or not? If it is then I guess I could just put a textbox on the form and ask the user to input the directory with file name.
I'm trying to code a program that can download multiple files at once (on different threads of course).I have created a custom listview component that will allow me to add a progressbar directly to it.What my real question is, how can i take a url given by the user from an input box and create a new webclient to handle the download asynchronously and also report the progress without disturbing all of the other downloads in progress?
Basically i am creating a console application that will create and store client information as a .txt file it is going okay but i have come across a slight hick up i want to use something on the lines of this .....
dim lastname as string Do Until Integer.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), LastName) = False Console.WriteLine("Invalid input, Please try again") Console.Write("LastName:-")
[code].....
this works fine to trap out numbers from letters but the problem i am getting is when the program calls uppon LastName it is recording 0 and wanted to know if there is a way of getting past this ..... so basically i need a way to allow letter but not numbers and symbols and then dispay a pernolised error message but at the same time use Stream writer to save was the answer is in a .txt file.
For a class assignment I created an application that takes grades from the user via input box and adds them to an array called grades. Here is some of the code.
vb.net Option Strict On Option Explicit On Option Infer Off
[Code]...
My problem is that the variable x is an integer and the user input from the InputBox is a string so I get the error: "Option Strict On disallows implicit conversion from 'String' to 'Integer'.I've already submitted this assignment with out the first three lines of code (which allows the code to run flawlessly), but I would like to know how to get around the error while still using the Option Strict On parameter. I am aware of the ToString method but I am not sure of how to use it here or even if it will work here. I've tried to use in a few variations but none worked.
I am trying to create a function to remove dirty words from user input text and want to replace those dirty words with four ****. In my scenario , i have list of dirty words where i would iterate the input user text and want to replace. Say for example.,
Dim InputTxt As String = "hi bush how are you.... $hit and @ss" Dim OutPut As String = " hi **** how are you... **** and ****";
Problem: It works fine to replace some word like " bush" however fails in the below function doesn't replace "$hit" and "@ss".
Note: I do not want to use string.Replace because it doesn't have word boundary in the sentence..
Public Function pReplaceWords(ByVal dirtyWord As String, ByVal inputText As String, ByVal options As RegexOptions) As String Try
