Does anybody know of a call in vb.net that will evaluate a string expression. For example, how would one evaluate the expression "(1+2)*(3+4)"?I've looked all over and it seems that people are writing their own parsers. There has to be a better way. After all these years, VB.Net must have something that will take an expression and evaluate it.
Dim strMyExpression as string = "(1+2)*(3+4)" msgbox( VBEvaluate(strMyExpression))
and the result would be 35.Also, when will microsoft start to use google as the search engine for these forums? Bing really sucks. Searching for "Evaluating a string expression in VB.net" gives the most bizarre links.
I have a application that allows the user to enter a series of nested filtering commands. E.g "Name starts with x or ((Description contains y or Property1 is On) and Property2 > 100)"
I can preprocess this and distill it down to a string in the form of an expression of True and False's ie, To "True or ((False or True) and False)" Is there a simple way to have this final expression evaluated without having to write a complex evaluator myself?
I have seen a method of evaluating this by compiling a dummy function at runtime but as I need to process this against possibly thousands of records that solution is too slow.
BTW These are not all fields in a database so I cannot use Queries or SQL etc.
I'm working on a project where I need to evaluate some formulas in VB.NET. I've been using the MS Script Control to evaluate some of the simple logical/mathematical formulasHowever, I'm now faced with dealing with string expressions that set variables in my program to certain values. So, for example, let's say I've got the following:
Dim netPrice As Decimal Dim expressionFormula As String = "netPrice = 0"
Using VB.Net I'd like to be able to replace a range of characters in a string in a single line of code.
i.e. something like
Dim charsToReplace as string = "acegi" Dim stringToBeReplaced as string = "abcdefghijklmnop" charsToReplace.ToArray().ForEach(Function (c) stringTobeReplaced =
I am working on a poker game and I have the game setup the way I want it in terms of graphics and I have the code programed to deal the cards out exactly how I want them. Granted, the code is very simplistic, but functional for a new programmer like myself. I'm sure there are other more efficient ways to code my game, but I like mine so far because I can at least understand the majority of it. With that being said, here are a few problems and questions that I have.
1. How come when all 12 cards are dealt out I have some cards repeating in the game? For example, I get queen of diamonds in more than one picture box when I only want the card to be dealt once and then removed until the next game.
2. I was hoping to have a button 3 to clear all the boxes, basically resetting the game to the next game. When I hit button 3 it only clears the contents of picturebox 10 and 12.Other notes: I have the deal down the way I want it. It deals the first 10 picture boxes and a second button deals the 11 and 12 picture boxes.
3. I know this is my next step so I want to post it with the code I currently have. I want to start taking my project one step further by evalutating each of the three rows of cards (3 rows of 3 cards each - I'm not worried about the dealers hand (picture box 10, 11, 12 yet). So I want to evaluate a row of pictureboxes against a "pay scale" and display the win in a text box or label next to the 3 card hand. For example, Q of diamonds, Q of Clubs, Q of spades would win 15, etc. ( have a weird feeling I may have to change the names of the cards (I have them named card1, card2, etc. right now) to something that identifies them in order to evaluate the hands.
Here is the code that I currently have. I'm using visual basic.
Public Class Form1 Dim Rndm As New Random Dim myPB(11) As PictureBox Dim HiddenCards As New List(Of String)
I am using the given code to copy my database files...it works like a charm in debug mode but as soon as I create a setup, it stops working. The error is
"Database Detach Failed"
I tried checking the code line by line and found that the code does not enter the IF block.I have no idea why.
Public Sub bk() Try Dim strDatabasePath As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.CombinePath(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath, "LIC.mdf")[code].....
I am trying to create a procedure which will evaluate a string expression as if it were a line of code...Kind of like what a graphing calculator does when you enter a formula. Does anyone have any experience with this in VB? I have an example of C++ code which uses CodeDom, but I am a bit rusty with my C++!
I am using WebBrowser1.DocumentText to get a websites source code, and then parse a string. I am trying to view the source line by line, and doing it as follows:
[Code]...
However what is displayed is each character from the source code, rather than the line. I am making the client log into a website, and the needed value from the source code is then parsed, so I need to use the WebBrowser type to get the source code.
I'm having trouble with reading a .txt file line by line, converting it into a string, then putting it into a listbox. When I execute I get an error saying "IndexOutOfRangeException was unhandled" Here is my
I have a string that contains many lines.It is someething like:
I want to be a millionaire.
I need to read this string line by line, that is to assign line 1 of the string to a certain variable, line 2 to another, and so on.Do you know how that can be done?
So I am trying to evaluate 3 conditions in an if statement. Its not working how I would assume it should. I basically want to do this:vb.net If PGN = &HEF007E And PGNData(0) = &H58 And (PGNData(1) And &H40) = &H40 Then IgnOn = True Else IgnOn = False If I write it in that manner it gives inconsistent results. If I workaround by writing it this way it works perfectly:vb.net If PGN = &HEF007E And PGNData(0) = &H58 Then If (PGNData(1) And &H40) = &H40 Then IgnOn = True Else IgnOn = False
I have this string just down loaded of a Unix server. I would like to remove the box (0x0A) Unix end line code; then replace it with CR+LF normal ASCII code. Also, I would like to do the replace before I save the data, while it in memory.
I have googled this but all it comes up with is some C# and how to read a file line by line which is not what I want, what do you have to use to do this I tried this loop:
My DGV's last visible column in a boolean. I am needing to go through each row and determine if the value of dgv item bFlag is true then turn the row back ground red. Here is my start of it. It appears to be only making one loop then giving the message box.
Private Sub EvalGrid() BindDGV(dgvResults) Dim cnt As Integer = dgvResults.Rows.Count
I'm looking to create an inline function (method) inside my NVelocity template. The solution to this appears to be to use Velocimacros. So, I mocked up the following template to test:
When I run the template, the problem I'm having is that the output from the macro parameter $three is literally "$item.Item3" instead of evaluating to #3/3/2003#. (BTW - this happens with any of the 3 items in the tuple if they are passed with the .Item call, so it isn't about the data type). I can make a variable and pass it just fine ($one1). I can pass the tuple itself and call the .Item property inside the macro ($item.Item2), but for some reason I cannot call the .Item property when passing the argument to the macro.
We are working on a poker game as a class project. My part is to evaluate and then determine the value of a players hand. We are evaluating from highest to lowest (ie. determining whether the player has a straight flush, 4 of a kind, full house, flush and then going all the way down to a high card only "worthless hand"). My part is evaluating the 2 pair, 1 pair, and nothing hands. The hand will be a two-dimensional array with the row(0 thru 12),column (0) containing the numeric "face" value of the cards and the column(1) containing the value assigned to the suite (1=clubs, 2=diamonds,3=hearts,4=spades). I have NO IDEA where to even begin this evaluating procedure.
