I am using VB .Net to access the eBay API and store all completed orders in a database. This database is then fed into a proprietary shipping system, which can not handle an order number larger than 20 characters. eBay returns an order number like so 230407279314-680141236013 which is too long. The order number is always 12 numbers a hyphen and 12 more numbers. What I need to do, is turn this (the result can be alpha numerical) into a shorter, unique order key to store in my database alongside the true orderId (so that this can be referenced by the shipping software instead of the actual order number). The reason for the 20 character limit is the barcode algorithm used. Is there any way to achieve this in VB .Net 2010? This number can be anything unique, so long as it does not exist already (even a good uniqueid function would work, but I would have to query the database to make sure it isn't taken)
View 2 RepliesIf I dim an array to say, 5 elements, should it not fail if I go to add a 6th? I thought this used to require a redim. In .NET 2.0, I have a character array of length = 3. When I populate it from the db, one record had 4 characters in it and it successfully added all 4 characters to the array?

I want to generate a unique ID of fixed length The trouble is, the code example I found on the web is in C# (or C maybe) which I know nothing about.

I've a text file which has some data written. Records have Starting character as "#2" and Ending character as "#3" in ASCII respectively and the file includes series of records, but not written as Line by Line. The difficulty I'm having is, to how to transfer those data's into a database. The File comes a 7mb file and looping character by character then noting down the Record Starting Character and Record ending Character, and finally substring them is not feasible as it take more time and makes the computer slower. I would like to know is there any easy way to transfer them?
View 3 RepliesI'm parsing fixed length file with .NET 3.5 and Regex. This file is from bank. In customer name sometimes there is one characters from this set &,(),[],',"". These are characters, so far I've encountered. There can be anything else. Because of this my regex is failing. My regex is [A-Za-z0-9s-.,'""""(){}[]]{35}. Is there any wild card I can use for special chars rather than specifying individually. I also tried . but didn't work.

so i have a file that i need to read in vb.net. Each line is 32 chars long and each line consists of multiple fields. Meaning from char 1 to 9 it idicates ID then char 10 indicates an identifier,11-14 indicates a value field. I've looked at Readblock and it's not the tool for the job. Is there a way to break up each line into its respective fields other than just reading the whole line and breaking it up as a string?
View 3 RepliesGot a dll from a supplier that I need to call. His declaration is Declaration with Microsoft Visual Basic: [code]Now, the Sting * 20 is clearly not VB.NET, and sure enough it crashes when run - "Attempt to read or write in protected memory" and that leads me to think that there is something with that string definition - or possibly the I_Ref definition which hasn't been defined as fixed length.I've tried <VBFixedString(20)> when defining O_Err, but I have a feeling that it might not be enough when the function declaration is like that (not specifically fixed length). I cannot figure out how to specify this correctly.As a small hmmmm, the above is pasted directly from the suppliers documentation, but that't will never work, as there is a "," missing after I_Range as long... Clearly not something he has pasted from a working program.

I'm wondering how to evaluate an expression using the assert object. The idea is to check if a string is longer then what is minimally acceptable. For example, Assert.AreEqual(stringName.length, >5). I know this method doesn't work but the concept is what I'm trying to get across. Is there a way to test this?

VS2010 (SP1) / .NET 4 on Windows XP. The question is simple, the answer; not so much. When generating a salt, should the LENGTH of the salt be random, fixed or a random number within a (min/max) range? I am using RNGCryptoServiceProvider to generate the salt, just unsure of the length of the salt.

I'm looking into adding some unit tests for some classes in my data access layer and I'm looking at an update routine that has no return value.It simply updates a row based on the id you provide at whichever column name you provide.Inside of this method, we collect the parameters and pass them to a helper routine which calls the stored procedure to update the table.Is there a recommended approach for how to do unit testing in such a scenario?
View 4 RepliesI am trying to create and initialize an array of structures of a fixed size. Each struct will be populated when a button is clicked. Here is an example of my struct:

Dim BtnStruct(15) As ButtonStruct
BtnStruct(0).Initialize()

Whenever a specific button is clicked, I am trying to collect data and store it in the respective struct and so for example, if button 1 is clicked then I will store the data associated with button 1 into BtnStruct(0). The position of the button is stored in a public variable called BtnNum. If I attempt to store information in the struct inside another function as follows, I receive an error
BtnStruct(BtnNum).x(pos - 1) = temp "btnstruct is not declared. it may not be inaccessible due to its protection level"

These interfaces are implemented in internal classes (Friend in VBNET), so that I want to implement a façade in order to instiate each of the interfaces with their internal classes. This will allow the architecture a better flexibility, etc.Now, I want to test these classes (Utilisateur, Groupe, UniteOrganisation) in a different project within the same solution. However, these classes are internal. I would like to be able to instantiate them without going through my façade, but only for these tests, nothing more.
