As a part time CAD drafter I commonly have to do scale conversions from many different scales.I am writing a scale converter that will allow me to enter the source scale (eg. 1/4" = 1'). Then it will provide an area to enter another number, like 3/4", and then produce that number in inches. In the case of 3/4" it would equal 36" or 3 feet. For now it would be fine if only gave me the answer in inches.How would I handle all the necessary fractions? Would I have to set up a bit of code that would convert the fractions to decimal?
Public Class Form1 Dim intResNum, intResDenom As Integer Private Sub btnMult_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnMult.Click
I'm trying to declare an enumeration and one of the names I'd like to use for an item is not usable apparently. Where I am declaring 'STEP = 3', I get this error message in visual studio: "Statement cannot appear within an Enum body. End of statement expected." Is it possible to use STEP as an item name somehow? [Code]
I hv developed a vb2005 based win form application. I would like to include application registration module.The planned i/p fields are usr name, productID. Based on this two filelds a unique registration key will be produced.
Which is better, using a nullable enum or adding the value None=0 to your enum list?Using nullables requires more code, but I kind of like it since it forces me to think about the possibility. Otherwise I'm liable to forget about the None enum and fail to account for it being a special case.
I recently found myself in a thread deling with convertions from decimal number to fractions... Being a bit too brusk and dismissing the idea at first.I have now implemented a structure based on code frm Javelia whithc can be seen in this thread.Solitare also proveided code that I eventually understood and was working.[URL]...it a step longer and developed a structure that can also implement calculating with fractions... My first try is also posted in the tread above...
The implimentation is far from perfect, as it does not deal with POW of fractions.. So if anybody has some ideas on hoe to do this with squer root and all pleas let me know and Ill update the code..
In an upcoming project I need to keep track of some fractional data values. Due to industry standards around the products which this data describes, it is important to display the fractional value as a fraction and not as a decimal; yet for purposes of sorting and filtering the data values, the decimal value of the fraction should be known.
The obvious solution since the problem describes data is to store the value as both a string-fraction and as a decimal-value. This works fine, but it does leave a disconnect between the two values, when in fact, they represent the same data.Assuming that this project will also include a strongly typed object model, which will likely drive a EF4 Code-First database, I think that the best solution involves creating a custom fraction type which can encapsulate the string and decimal values.
After thinking on the problem and some experimentation, I've come up with the following structure to meet this need, however, I'm not certain that it is the all-around "best" implemenation.Obviously "best" is a subjective term, but in general the type should be well-rounded for as many uses as possible... idealy as generic as the Decimal type it enhances. Can anyone spot any flaws or drawbacks with this implementation? I'm still not sure about the numerator and denominator fields... whether they should be readonly or priviate or what...
How can i include an external file in a XBAP application? For example a .dat file where i need to extract some data from? I want everything to happen inside the .xbap file, is that possible?
I was able to create an application in VB.net that talks to a SQL Server CE database.Now i want to deploy this application using the publish feature with clickonce.An issue im having tho is when I install the application on another computer it keeps looking for my sql server on my development pc.
Ive added the .sdf when i package my solution but its still an issue.How do I change my connection string to connect to the .sdf file that I included in the package? this is my current connection string which looks at the sql server: connectionString = " Data Source=CHRIS-PCSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=ce_db;Integrated Security=True"
I would really like to know if there is anyway in which I can package two or more set up files together with my vb.net application; so that after installing the application, it automatically starts installing the other applications from the other set-up files.
In my case I want to include mysql server and client together with the application for a demo cd, that am making for a client.
I have a software package with a bunch of libraries and header files that I am trying to use in a VB.net application. The software help file states the following: The MIL DVD includes MIL libraries that support the Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003/2005/2008 (unmanaged) compiler under Windows Vista/XP. The DVD also includes ActiveMIL ActiveX controls for Microsoft Visual Basic .NET 2003/2005/2008, Microsoft Visual C# .NET 2003/2005/2008, and Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003/2005/2008 RAD tools.
To compile a MIL application program, you must include the mil.h header file, in addition to the required standard C include files. After you have compiled your application program, you will have to link it with the appropriate libraries or import libraries for your operating system, compiler, and target board.

I used BackGroundWorker control on a Windows desktop program. It worked great and I would like to use it with other languages. Which languages does it work with -- ASP.NET, Silverlight, WPF, Class libraries (dll), console applications, services, WCF? I see that it is in the System.ComponentModel namespace. Is that used by more than Windows desktop programs? If it's not used everywhere, is there an equivalent class on other platforms?

I have a DataSet with a DataTable that has several numeric columns of Data. The numeric data is composed of distances given in U.S. Standard units. I currently have my ComboBoxes set up and working, but I need to expand on what I currently have in two ways.I need to be able to convert the Decimal numbers in my data column being displayed to Fractions, is there a way to do this and maintain databinding? In this case its the Display Member of the data source...I need to be able to display my drop down options in different sets of units... I've written Unit Conversion classes to help take care of this, but I don't know if I can somehow do this as well and maintain databinding? I'd like to convert the units on the display members as well...
Private Sub ComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.SelectionChangeCommitted Select Case ComboBox1.SelectedItem
[code]....
What is the best approach for using ComboBoxes when dealing with issues such as displaying fractions and units...
Can an Interface contain an Enum?I am using asp.net 2.0. Suddenly my code started having problems when I added an enum to the interface below. In it, LookUpType is an enum.
Public Interface ILookup Property ID() As Int32 Property Text() As String
More for interest than actual need.is it possible to have an automatically decreasing enum in C# or VB.NET?
public enum testEnum { this = -1, that, other, }
So that that = -2 and other = -3.I'm pretty sure the only way to do it is to specifically assign "that" and "other", but I wondered if there was an automatic way of doing it.
Edit To be clear, I'm simply talking about the automatic assignment of the value, not the actual value of the enum decreasing.
I'm using vb but still learning it. Here is the question, I have following ENUM created so that i can use it all the form. I created this Enum on my main form (startup form) and want to use in another form.
Enum MyStatus Good = 1 Bad = 2 Normal = 3 End Enum
Now from other form I'm using it like frmMainmenu.MyStatus.red. I was wondering how i can make it public or create it in a way so that i don't need to give the prefix frmmainmenu before using its value.
