Html :: Unexpected Character Sequence For <!-- In VB?
Mar 30, 2012
I've inherited a VB website (I'm a C# developer by trade) and need to do some changes. On loading it into VS2010 it won't compile/run because it has a <!-- --> pair surrounding some code in the style section of each form and VS is saying this is an unexpected character sequence.I'm assuming it's a vb comment tag, but I've Googled it to with either making VS accept them, or advice on what to change them to so the original intent is not lost. NB I've tried <%-- which I use in C# but that doesn't appear to work either.
Example:
<html>
<head>

I have inherited a database that is moving to the web. Problem is that some of the string fields have html characters....
One example is....
"" without the quotes, IT WON'T SHOW UP IN HERE EITHER, trying something else. At any rate it has < and the > signs with text in the middle.
How can I escape any possible combination of html references.
SelectCommand="usp_getSingleStringData" SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure"
<SelectParameters>
<asp:SessionParameter Name="shrtText" SessionField="shrtText" Type="String" />
[Code]....

This may sound really stupid but I have to ask cause I'm not finding this answer anywhere.I have an application where the user will need to sign up for a new user account on the website [URL]..However when I am using Firefox's plug-in Firebug to view html I am getting something totally different than when I just right click on the site and view the page source.
What I am trying to do is to get the captcha from the website and display it in a picturebox on the application so the user can view the captcha, solve the captcha and then the app post is back to the service for a response.
Here is the source that I am getting using Firefox's Firebug to inspect the element:
<td>
<input type="hidden" value="Oo3Jo1I8bgzK68agMqo3s79ZZib2OkbK" name="iden">
<img class="capimage" src="/captcha/Oo3Jo1I8bgzK68agMqo3s79ZZib2OkbK.png" alt="i wonder if these things even work">
</td>
[Code]...
Why would the two be showing me two different versions of the HTML?
And how would you be able to grab that source to view in a picturebox using webclient?

Usage: Users create pretty HTML news letters in another app. They post the newsletter to the web, but they also want to set the contents of the HTML news letter file as the body of an email and send it using Application In Question. The users understand to use absolute link and image references when sending an E Newsletter. Environment:
AIQ is a VB.Net app deployed via ClickOnce. It is an intranet app; one can be sure MS Office 2003 and the interop 11 dlls are on the target machines.
Restrictions: MAPI is out. It mangles the HTML. Since it is a ClickOnce deployment, we can't register dlls (I think, correct me if I am wrong). Therefore CDO and COM is out (again, I may be wrong.... I would be happy to be proven so).

I am working on a sub that essentially needs to open a text file, and replace all instances of a certain character with a unicode character. I'm trying to do this by reading the original text file byte by byte, converting it to a character, and then either adding that character to a memory stream or writing the unicode character to the memory stream. Then I'm saving the memory stream to the original file.

For each character of this string I want a new character out of the string and then remove the character from the list of characters that still maybe used for other characters. It may not get the same character, you could basically just call this encryption, but it's not what I am making. I don't want to waste my time doing this one hour while VB can do this for me in <1 second.

I am writing a hangman type game and I am displaying the word to the user in a label as all *'s, but I cannot figure out how to have just one of the *'s changed in the label to the correct letter when the user inputs the correct letter into the text box and clicks the check letter button.Everything else in the program works perfectly, except for this part.[code]When I use the .Replace it changes all of the *'s to the correct selected letter.

In my VB.NET application I compare words that are recorded using IPA, many of which have many diacritic marks. In one of the comparisons, I compare the words character by character. But when I iterate over the characters, the diacritic marks come out as separate characters (as I would expect since this is unicode)However, a u character is different than a u plus an accent for the purposes of this program and needs to be distinguished.

In duplicated code using Lockbits in VB to obtain the address of Bitmap.Scan0, the first is OK, in all applications, but the second NEVER is. What is the explanation please? Surely both StartAddrA and StartAddrB should be valid pointers to Bitmap.Scan0 for calls to valid, functional ASM code in the functional DLL. The error is, it seems, in the VB Lockbits process. Using VS2010 Beta 2 and XP.

I've been working with the substring command and after coding up all the things I needed it to do, I saw a post on here where the "For Each" statement was used basically to do the same thing.Lets say we just want to take a string apart one character at a time and add each character to a label. Which would be more efficient?I made a cheap example to show ...
Code:
ABinary = "0110 1100 0001 1011"
For x = 0 To Len(ABinary) - 1

I'm flummoxed I'm using VB.Net, Linq, and a DataContext. My DataContext contains a table 'transactions'.
I first declare an IQueryable(Of transaction) and assign it to nothing. I build a predicate in a foreach loop and use a transactions.Where(predicate) to assign the IQueryable a value. If I do an IQueryable.ToList(), I get a number of items in the collection.
However, on the next iteration of the loop, the IQueryable.ToList() gives me 0 items.This is driving me crazy. I tried to use the LINQ to SQL Debug Visualizer with VS2010, (I recompiled the 2008 version with the new reference) but no dice - I can't see the SQl generated or what's inside the IQueryable.

What types of exceptions should be thrown for invalid or unexpected parameters in .NET? When would I choose one instead of another?
Follow-up:
Which exception would you use if you have a function expecting an integer corresponding to a month and you passed in '42'? Would this fall into the "out of range" category even though it's not a collection?

Ok so i have a date time picker that holds a date that was entered by a user. My program works fine when ran on a computer using English(US) regional settings, but when i take it to a computer running any other regional settings, I.E. English(UK), which is the 2nd most common regional settings that will find its way to this program, I recieve an error because the Date format is backwards. What i'm curious about is how can i grab the system Regional Date format in order to rearrange my Date to fix its context?
I know that since the date is stored as a string i'm going to do something along the lines of this to break it apart:
Dim temp()
temp = Split(inputarray(7), "/")
inputarray(7) = temp(1) & "/" & temp(0) & "/" & temp(2)
i am almost 100% sure the above code will take a date in MM/DD/YYYY format and rearrange it to DD/MM/YYYY format.

We have an application (Vb6) that gets installed at all of our client sites and they often (Vista/Windows 7) run into a the error message Unexpected error, quiting after a install on a new machine. The problem comes about when the UAC is on and the application is trying to create registry entries in areas it doesnt have access to because the application is running as a standard user. If the user runs the application as an admin the first time, everything sets up and life if good.
My question is, what is the most elegant way to setup those registry keys without forcing the user to run as an admin the first time? We could force them to run the applicaiton as an admin using a manifest file, but I dont want them to have to run as an
admin every time, just the first time.
