Formatting/masking With Access DB?
Jun 25, 2009
I have my form connected to an access database. Two of my fields for example are Date of birth and money. In the access database the DOB field is set to a data type of date/time(shortdate) and the money field is set to currency.When I run my app if i type 5/23/09 into the DOB field it'll auto update the textbox in the form to 5/23/2009 (which is great). If I type 200.4 into the money field it wont add a $ sign or update to two decimals but it will save as $200.40 in the DB. How do I make the money field auto update like the DOB field to format to currency right away?

I have a website in which I have many categories, many sub-categories within each one and many products within each of those. Since the URLs are very user-unfriendly (they contain a GUID!!!), I would like to use a method which I think is called URL Masking. For example instead of going to catalogue.aspx?ItemID=12343435323434243534, they would go to notpads.htm. This would display the same as going to catalogue.aspx?temID=12343435323434243534 would display, somehow.
I know I could do this by creating a file for each category / sub-category (individual products cannot be accessed individually as it is a wholesale site - customers cannot purchase directly from the site). This would be a lot of work as the server would have to update each relevant file whenever a category / sub-category / product visibility changes, or a description changes, a name changes... you get the idea...I have tried using server-side includes but that doesn't like it when a .aspx file is specified in an html file.
I have also tried using an iframe set to 100% width / height and absolutely positioned left 0 and top 0. This works quite well, but I know there are reasons you should not use this method such as some search engines not coping with it well. I also notice that the title of the "parent" page (notepads.htm) is not the title set in the iframe (logically this is correct - but another issue I need to solve if I go ahead and use this method).

I am making a Hangman Game.
1. How do I change the colour of the text I am entering. i.e. if the letter entered by the user IS in the word, then I want to make that text appear green in the other textbox, "guessed letters"
2. I also want to know how to mask and unmask certain characters at will. i.e. when the user guesses a letter, the program checks to see if the character is in the predefined word. If it is, then I want it to unmask that letter on the label, "Word Label". I also want the program to start with the word already masked.
3. How do I take a random word from a text file for the user to guess?. I have a text file with all the words of the dictionary on a new line.
Here's the mediafire link to my project: [URL]. (The dictionary text file is included)

i have to update the values in my database some of them are integer, some string and some date (as you can infer from the formatting)
i am using the following query:
UPDATE PatientProfile SET HospitalRegNo=" + hregno + ", PatientName='" + pname + "', PatientAge=" + page + ", PatientSex='" + psex + "', Address='" + add + "', ContactNo='" + cno + "', AdmitDate=#" + adat + "#, OperDate=#" + odat + "#, DischargeDate=#" + ddat + "# WHERE PatientNo=" + pno + ""
but its not working... i think there's a problem in formatting the date type variables

I have some VB .NET software that interfaces to a load of old (but sound) COM objects. The VB provides a GUI for the COM objects, part of which consists of setting various options on the COM objects - several of which relate to string formatting.I have a simple pair of VB .NET functions that convert basic %f, %d, %g formats to/from .NET equivalents using a large select case covering specific common strings, but they don't cover all formats.[code]Before I start diving in and making it more versatile with some parsing, does anyone know of a class (eg VB or C# .NET) that provides a decent ready-made implementation? Or perhaps some regexp wizadry could be used?

In MS Access you can set the background to a specific colour when the field has the focus. This is done through "conditional formatting", using the "Field has Focus" feature. How is that done in VB.NET?

While I understand there are properties of MailItem that would allow one to programmatically create a formatted email, I would prefer the ability to copy the body of an email that is already formatted to my liking (bolding, italicizing, embedded pictures/tables, set margins, etc.) copy and paste it to a newly composed email such that this formatting is preserved.

I have the following code, which generates insert queries
For Each f As String In Directory.GetFiles(d)
objSQLStringBuilder.Append("insert into table1 (full_path, file_name) values ('" & f.Replace("'", "''") & "', '" & f.Remove(0, Len(d) + 1).Replace("'", "''") & "');")
Next
However, the paths which it finds are formatted as follows
c:program filesmicrosoft officewinword.exe
I need to format the paths as follows
file:///c:/program%20files/microosoft%20office/winword.exe
How can I modify the above code to do this?

To me, it seems like it should raise an error because it CAN'T tell (or at least that's what it seems to me.)

I just had a quick question about formating in currency in Visual Basic 2010 express. I already understand how to get it to work during runtime using the FormatCurrency feature, but I am wondering if there is a method to do it so that the user's input becomes currency instantly? (basically, is there a way to make the textbox always display as currency, rather than as a weird decimal?)

I'm taking values from Numeric Ups and Downs for Hours, Minutes and Seconds. The problem is that, for example, if the time for example is 9.15 am it will show as 9:15:0 What I want to do is format them so if any of the values(Hours, Minutes or seconds) is less than 10, it will add a 0 before the number so as the number shows as 09:15:00. What I tried is this but it does not work: [Code]

I'm doing some math with the Timespans in .Net, and occasionally the sum results in a negative Timespan. When I display the result I am having trouble formatting it to include the negative indicator.
Dim ts as New Timespan(-10,0,0)
ts.ToString()
This will display "-10:00:00", which is good but I don't want to show the seconds so tried this.
ts.ToString("hh:mm")
This returns "10:00" and has dropped the "-" from the front which is the crux of the issue. My current solution is this:
If(ts < TimeSpan.Zero, "-", "") & ts.ToString("hh:mm")
but I was hoping to accomplish the same by using only the format string.
