Display An Equation Prior To Solving It?
Jul 19, 2011
I want to display an equation prior to solving it. Obviously in MS word etc I can use equation editor to write an equation, but I'm writing my own program.
Is there an easy way to display an equation. Obviously I could use text to write eg as text "a=b^2-3(c-d)/5" and everyone here would have little problem interpretting what I want but I want this to be accessible to 12 year old children.
Alternatively I could try and manipulate lots of text boxes one on top of the other to try and explain what I'm doing
The third alternative I thought of was to write in equation editor export the graphic and then import a graphic.
I'm sure I must be trying to reinvent the wheel - which I believe is the one thing OE programming is supposed to avoid.

I put this mathematical formula in VB 2008 Express Form and I have the result show in TextBox and every thing is good so far and my question is if I have a table of numbers for example if the answer in the TextBox is 0.00098 and my table show :
0.0001 to 0.00100 = 7
0.00101 to 0.002 = 8
0.00201 to 0.003 = 9
Etc
I need the number 7 to be displayed in label 1 so how can I do that?

For my login control I'm using parameters in an SQL statement. Trouble is if people use SQLinjection, I'm afraid they'll be able to get in too. I have two textboxes and the values are passed on to an SQL statement, this checks whether the values are found in the DB.
Is there a way to make sure this isn't possible? I know in PHP you need to use something infront of the textboxes.

Well, i was thinking of making a Tetravex solving program in order to practice my code writing skills (language will propably be Visual Basic) and I need help finding an algorithm for solving it. For those that don't know what tetravex is see this http:[url]... . The only algorithm I can come up with is the brute force way, place a tile randomly in one corner and try every possible tile next to it and continue the same process, if it reaches a dead end revert to a previous state and place a different tile.

In the members region I declare _Name and assign it the value "NameA" but how do I assign this value conditionally?The idea is that if in some file there's a value set than that should be the default value and not the hard coded one, if non is set the hard coded one should stick.
#Region "Members"
Private _Name As String = "NameA"
#End Region
#Region "Properties"

I am currently using the follwoing in my install routine, the idea is to check if the db exists. if the db does exist then leave the mdf name as is and attach it as a temp db then i can run a compare between the 2 db. however if the db does not exist i want to rename the mdf and attach it. however after renaming the mdf i cant attach the file.[code]

Been trying to figure out why my progress bars (one in the status bar when the main window is open and the other in a window by itself before the main window is shown) go up most of the way, then stop till the processing is done.I have refresh in there where the action takes place, and that made it work mostely.Basically I'm loading a file into a string, then while in a loop, I'm processing the file by lines. I have a function that retrieves a line, then it does a:
pbProgress.Value = pbProgress.Maximum - sWork.length
pbProgress.ProgressBar.Refresh()
StatusBar1.Refresh()

I would like to develop a structure to maintain my user's text input somehow on each form to allow user to return to the form and see the prior input for potential editing. My app has four forms which accept user input and form a string for output to printer. In the eventuality that the user notes a mistake in the input after leaving the app, I would like to develop a structure to "save" the user input at the form level and allow for repopulating the text boxes with the prior user input. Make sense? I have no idea how accomplish that functionality. Maybe it's too complex for my purposes. What do the pros think?

When any selection was done in the checkedlistbox, some data need to added to the gird.in case if i am ticking further selection, i need the datagrid to be inserted with additional values with the prior populated data.
being a beginner, i am not able to get any idea to get this worked.

I'm reading a file and then closing it with the following code, but my problem is later when I start a batch process it says the file is still in use. Am I doing something wrong in closing it? The process was working fine prior to my adding this code to read the file.
[code]...
This rexx exec is trying to write to the file that I read from in the prior step before creating a PowerPoint presentation, but fails becuase of the lock.I'm at a loss. I should qualify and say the process actually starts, but fails in the rexxexec after it starts, it isn't failing on the process start the rexx exec issues a message that it can't write to the file becuase it is in use.

I have a decent understanding of the logic, the content. I'm working on a puzzle and I'd like to write a short program. I'm looking to fill in the following variables: AB.CDE FG.HIJ (they're part of coordinates, and the puzzle is part of a geocache)
The puzzle asks you to determine which numbers correspond to certain colors, like this:
[code...]
I need to define A-J as >= 0 and <=9. I also need to say that each color is >= 0 and <=9, but that no color can be equal to another color (purple ≠yellow, orange, etc). some number combinations won't work. Purple and yellow can't be 2 and 5 respectively, because that'd produce a negative number. I'm guessing that there will be more than one possible result. So how do I create an equation that calculates this.

I would like to read a user's input equation or expression as a string (such as "y=5*(x+6)" or "cos(3)^2") and have the program evaluate it mathematically. Does .Net have any classes that could do this? Obviously, the compiler can already take a programmer's coded equation and evaluate it. Of course this is a different matter, but is there not a way to harness that same power with runtime user-created equations? Serialization or anything?
The other option (I guess) would be to create my own equation-generator - breaking an equation down into a binary tree of the numerical values and the operations I suppose. Aside from being a nontrivial task, my program needs optimal performance as these equations are in large loops. At the very least, this would add several conditional evaluations to each equation run - dunno if that adds up.

The project is "kWh counter", that is, a simple program that calculates the power usage.The incoming numbers are the Power of the appliance (lightbulb) and the voltage (230/120).The formula is W=P*t that is multiplication of the power and the time it is used.I thought to connect it with a timer and the passing secconds multyply with the power, and, write the ussage on a label.This would be something like a simple digital power counter.Note that the voltage is not necesary.I am from europe where the standards are 230V.

What I need to do is automatically generate a specific PIN number based on the current date. The formula goes like this: MMDD + 1234 = PIN. (ex. Date = 3/26/2012 -> 0326 + 1234 = 1560; With 1560 being the PIN number. I then need the PIN number to display as text, but that's the easy part, I really just need assistance with getting the date information in the proper format for the equation.

I am rotating a picture dependant on the mousemove.
Private Sub PictureBox1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseMove
[code]...
To simplify the part I am having problems with: rotationX = CurrentPositionX + ((InitialPositionX - MousePositonX) / SlowDownDivisor)
As an example, this occurs in both X and Y; If I click and drag in the X + Direction and release the mouse button it does exactly what I want, rotation in the positive direction. If I click and drag in the X + Direction and then drag in the X - direction, the rotation continues to be positive, it doesn't reverse. If I release the button and then click again and move in the X - direction the rotation is negative as it should, but it will continue to rotate in the negitive direction until the button is release.
