is there any way of creating a file in visual basic using a variable as the file name? I have tried using the following but keep getting an error "The given path's format is not supported." ??? I am trying to create a log file of machine use every shift (8 hours) and just want to use the same name for the file with the date and time appended to the end of the file name. the section of code giving me the error is below.

I am currently creating a windows form app with a database.The database hosts links that the user can customize.When I go to publish the file, if user A changes the Link to their liking user B also see's the changes and will cause a clash if user B does not need the link that user A has put it.
I wish to be able to have a unique database for each individual and for the life of me cannot figure out how.Currently I am having the person upload to an access DB. This is not required but I am lost for ideas

Whenever a row is selected in my GridView, I want to take the ID field of my gridview's dataset and form a unique URL with it (use a ?id=1234 parameter). In the Page_Load event I have the following code:
TextBox1.Text = Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.ToString & "?id=" & _
GridView1.SelectedIndex.ToString & Environment.NewLine
I am creating files and then allowing the User to browse through the files via a ComboBox. I decided to name each file the current date. In order to create multiple reports each time the application is ran, each report needs a unique name.
The idea is that if they run a report once a day they'll have a unique report each day. But, then I realized that it is feasible that User could run a report more than once a day. So, I decided to create an integer and increment it each time the report has been ran. Then append the file name with that integer. So, report one of that day would show something like this:
12-22-2009_1 and so on.And this works just fine. But, if the user decides to close the app and then run the report later that day, the variable has been reset and no longer works as needed.I'm using a StreamWriter to create the file.
On SqlDataSource_Insert, I'm grabbing the users unique MemberID and adding to the db. Adding the MemberID works great. I also want to add a unique EventID for the event they are submitting, but the code that I'm using below just inserts a guid with all zeros.

What's the best way to get a computer id code of some kind that is unique for each computer so I could use that to create a unique software activation code?Does Visual Basic have any staements that can give you this kind of information.
View 18 Repliesthis website seems great and this is my first post. Sorry if this has already been answered but I have been searching for a long time. I have a program with a list view in details mode. I have it load column settings (visibility, display index, width, etc.) when the form is opened and save them when closed. There are many columns...about ten so far...like folder, file, size, etc. Is there a way to access variable names from the values of other variables?

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 Repliesi want to declare an array with a name that is the value of a variable. I need to do this because i want to create arrays from a text file that i'm reading.Basically, if someone could make this work then i should be able to change it to fit my use.
Dim var1 As String = howdy
Dim var1() as Integer
In this case i'd like to be declaring an array with the name 'howdy' that stores integers. In reality i'm looping a bunch of read names and would like to create an array for each name i read- but i'm quite capable of sorting the rest.
I have created an array of 6 numbers which are randomly generated, I can create a graph using six randomly generated numbers, however what I want is to use the random values that are placed in the array to create my graph, I have enclosed the code that I have:

Why I cannot get a variable to come in. I keep on getting the error "Expression does not produce a value" for one of my Dims.
Imports System.IO

Dim image_1 As Integer = Openimg1.FileName

Dim image_2 As Integer = My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile(Openimg1.FileName, "_hid" + System.IO.Path.GetExtension(Openimg1.FileName))

So basically, how can I create a variable from something that has yet to be created?
how do I DIM a variable's name using previously declared string varialbes? I have been using PERL for processing data stored in text files but I now have a business need to use VB2008. I would like to do something like this:
dim name1 as string = "ABCD"
dim name2 as string = "123"
'here is the part that I don't know how to do - create a 3rd variable name concatenated from name1 and name2:
dim string.concat({name1,name2}), or maybe use a counter in a line like 'dim namex as string' with x being a counter value.
Essentially I want to dim variables using text strings extracted from a file. In PERL I have declared literals and arrays, such as 'my @$name1', which creates an array named with the contents of $name1. In VB2008 I am not sure how to make this work with the DIM statement.
I have got a bit of code which creates an error when you start debugging. the code is:
Dim Gravitee As Decimal = TrackBar1.Value / 100
This code is a declaration (outside of a sub) so that it can be used in any subs I choose. I don't know why this causes an error?

I need to store elements in a multidimensional array. Specifically, I need to save "tiles" to a grid (e.g.Grass at x:2 y:5, Dirt at x:3 y:5, etc.). Using a multidimensional feels very hacked up and is very glitchy (having to resize my arrays and having to create new ones were they are non-existant). Is there some kind of element made for this? Something I can say obj.getPos(2,5) and get my Grass Element and use obj.setPos(DirtObj, 3, 5) to set it to my Dirt Element?
I'm just wondering if there is something easier to use than multidimensional arrays in vb.net, that is all.
