Create A Program That Will Convert Between Metric And Standard Units?
Oct 25, 2011
im trying to create a program that will convert between metric and standard units.I chose length as my measurement so i have nanometer,millimeter,centimeter,meter,hectometer,kilometer,inc,feet,yard and mile.i wanted the input to be
- number to be converted(text box)
-unit number is in(combo box)
-unit to convert to(combo box)
i know how to do combo boxes,buttons and labels and stuff.The output is the converted number this is what i have so far but its soooo wrong?
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Convert_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Convert.Click
Dim Inch, Feet, Yard, Mile As Integer
Dim Nanometer, Millimeter, Centimeter, Meter, Hectometer, Kilometer As Double

how to convert a metric unit to standard. I will be converting Feet/Inches to Meters/Centimeters and vise versa as well as pounds/ounces to kilograms/grams and vise versa. I can input the values into my Textbox to where it reads " x'y" ," however, when I go to code the Convert button (the same button has to be used for all conversions) how to separate out the text and then perform the conversion.

I'm looking for a fast way of searching a textbox containing plain text mixed with coordinate values.These coordinate values may contain no decimals or 4 decimal places after the decimal.I'm somewhat familiar with regex, but my uncertainty is the actual number of characters in each word will be different.[code]

The program I am making requires the user to select what units he will be using. But it has to be able to convert his entered units and display them in the text boxes at all times during run-time. It works fine the first time the user switches units, but the second time the units are switched all the values in the text boxes go to 0... Ok Button

I have an example of standard text (in Hex form) in a specific encoding (selected by the user). And I have a weirdly encoded text which is in the same encoding but a little different. How do I convert the Standard to the encoded Hex?
Cyrillic (ISO-8859-5) Example:
## 12 91 BB BE BA B8 C0 2E 20 CD BA C0 B0 BD B0 20 B8 20 BA BB B0 B2 2E <- ALTERNATIVE
B1 DB DE DA D8 E0 2E 20 ED DA E0 D0 DD D0 20 D8 20 DA DB D0 D2 2E <- STANDARD
Diff. from Standard (in Decimal): -32
Hebrew Visual (ISO-8859-8) Example:
## 1C 0B E0 E2 D9 DC EA 20 DE E1 DA 20 D5 DE E7 E9 D9 DD <- ALTERNATIVE
F0 F2 E9 EC FA 20 EE F1 EA 20 E5 EE F7 F9 E9 ED <- STANDARD
Diff. from Standard (in Decimal): -16

Im trying to create a program that takes an amount entered by the user and then convert it into Half Dollars, quarters, dimes, nickles, and pennies when the calculate button is clicked. Each coin has its own function and is shown in separate text boxes... right now i cant get it to work correctly. When i try to get half dollars to work it rounds up and then the rest of the coins say 0. How should i do this?

I'm new to Visual Basic with no programming in my background. I've created a application without to many problems until now. I've looked around msdn but could not find any tutorial on how to create a "standard" save file dialog box. What I have found is some instruction with a lot of assumptions made such as I've done this before.

My applicaiton makes use of the Event Log to log exceptions and Informational messages, however when logged in as a Standard User who has limited access, I am receiving the Exception[code]...
I understand that the Event Source cannot be found in the log I am writting to (Application) and the application is attempting to create the Event Source but before it can be registered all Logs need to be reviewed to make sure the Event Source isn't already in use.
My question is how should I go about creating an Event Source that can be used by Standard Users? The application will be operating on a corporate network whereby we lock down all users to the least required privellages.[code]...

I am making a new vb.net project . And 1 thing i have noticed many times is The software that i make in high resoltion computer lloks crap in computers with monitor resoluton of 800 by 600.Is there any way we can create software in standard form which has a higher probability to run in all pc's...I can think of 1 way i guess using monitor height and monitor width from properties and then adjusting form size relative to that

I usually use standard button and do the settings like causevalidation etc if required.
i decided to use toolstrip and inserted some buttons but end up that it doesn't do the validation for control and also doesn't call leave event of textbox control.
so my question is, anyway to use regular button functionality for toolstripbutton or there is a way to add regular button on toolstrip.

I want to create a Windows Service using VB.Net, but in VS2008 Standard, you don't seem to get the "Windows Service" template I've used before.
What's the best way of creating such a service, without resorting to using the C++ template?

In VBA you can have a Userform implement a custom interface and only the properties defined in the interface will show in the VBA Intellisense for the Userform. I tried to duplicate this functionality in VB.Net (2010) and all the base Form properties still show.[code]...

I would like to get some advise from all of you. I created a program setup using standard procedure(adding new project.. setup and deployment, setup project). When I ran the setup and installed the program in computer, It's working. Then I decided to amend certain form in the program. I right click at solution"my program name" and click rebuild solution. then i try to run again the setup, there is nothing happen after that(It remain like before amendment). Did I miss anything here? I have never used this method before and this is my first time using it.

I am trying to add a TabPage containing a UserControl to a TabControl at runtime, because the number of TabPages to add are determined at runtime.
The UserControl (objDataInfo) is just two Textboxes, two labels and two Radiobuttons, nothing too exciting...
The TextBoxes have their Anchor properties set to Left, Up, Right so they scale with the width of the usercontrol.
The TabPages are added in the constructor of the form, which takes the number of tabpages to create (n) as an argument:
vb.net
Dim cList As List(Of objDataInfo)
Public Sub New(ByVal n As Integer)
[Code]....
So... How can I get the standard BackColor of a standard TabPage?
(I tried leaving out the usercontrol all-together, but the TabPage still has a gray background...)

So i decided to make a units converter for my term's project and my teacher insisted on including the combo box in this project. I'm not really familiar with the combo box as i am still a beginner in visual basic. I've looked around and learned a bit about using the combo box but later i faced a problem. First i created a Main combo box and placed it in the middle of the form. I managed to use the select case command to make other combo boxes appear and disappear as i wish. I don't really know how to describe the problem, i want to make it that if i choose the input as a unit and the output is any other unit from two different combo boxes, the value in the input text box would be multiplied by a certain conversion factor and the result will be shown in the output text box

Declare constants for all numeric values in the two formula above. The variable used to represent the number of meters and the numeric constant 39.37 must be declared as the data type double. the constants and data types in the first formula should be declared as integers. Convert the Total Inches in the second formula to a Double data type before using it in the calculation. Set Option Strict to on in your code. (Hint: After the number of meters has been determined, the maximum number of kilometers can be computed from Kilometers = Meters/1,000. Next, the remaining meters can be determined from: Remaining Meters = Meters - 1,000 * Kilometers. The number fo integer meters in Remaining Meters then can be determined from: Integer Meters = Convert.ToInt32(Remaining Meters). Continue with the same technique to compute the number of centimeters.)

I'm trying to write a little program to help me find the distance (in feet/inches) between the frames of a ship. This would be fairly easy, except the frames are unevenly spaced.Let's say this is a top view of a shape, and the frames are vertical lines that comprise the overall ship. (In ships, this is the shape of the hull.) Each number is a frame.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
In this example, there are 1 units between frames 1-3, two units between frames 3-6, three units between 6-9, four units between 9-11, and 1 unit between 11-13.So, what I want to do is post a program where the user inputs two frame numbers: so they would enter, for instance, a start location of 5 and an end location of 11. So, it would calculate the number of units between those two frames based on the limits. So, between 3-6 there are two units, so it would subtract the start location from the nearest limit (6).
6-5 = 1
Multiply by 2 units spacing per frame, so that's 2 units. Frames 6-9 are all included, so 9-6=3 x 3 units = 9 units. Since 9-11 are also all included, it would be 11 - 9 = 2 x 4 units = 8 units. Then the program would add that all together - 2 + 9 + 8 = 19 units total.
Now, for my instance, there are a few more complications (it's in inches, and large increments (i.e. 36" spacing), and there are 304 total frames split between the middle of the ship in two sections, fore and aft of the line), but really I'm just trying to get a handle on how to impose these limits and calculate the distance. Attached is the proposed layout for my program (ignore the 20'5", that's just how I want the output to look).
