I have a program that loops once or twice every second, but the time is not consistent.I have a string of 1 character. The program will either set the string to "1" or "0" depending on certian conditions.What I want to do is keep track of how many seconds total the string character ="1". The character might equal 1 when the clock passes midnight, so that might further complicate things.

If using the following in an if statement I get an error: If trg.Name.Substring(4, 6).ToUpper <> ("ABCDEF") Then I get the error: "Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name: length"
I assume this is because the string (trg.name) is too small for the 4, 6 substring. What would be the correct method of working around this problem? VB.net Studio 2008.

The only fields I don't have working are hard ones. I'm trying to figure out how to subtract the length of the last break used from the minutes allowed to take and display it in a text box to display how many minutes you have left to take. And also to work out how many minutes have been used since the program has been opened or reset.
I'm writing some code that takes a report from the mainframe and converts it to a spreadsheet. They can't edit the code on the MF to give me a delimited file, so I'm stuck dealing with it as fixed width. It's working okay now, but I need to get it more stable before I release it for testing. My problem is that in any given line of data, say it could have three columns of numbers, each five chars wide at positions 10, 16, and 22. If on this one particular row, there's no data for the last two cols, it won't be padded with spaces; rather, the length of the string will be only 14. So, I can't just blindly have

I've created some classes that will be used to provide data to stored procedures in my database. The varchar parameters in the stored procs have length specifications (e.g. varchar(6) and I'd like to validate the length of all string properties before passing them on to the stored procedures.
Is there a simple, declarative way to do this?
I have two conceptual ideas so far:

This seems like a lot of work and will really make my currently-simple classes look pretty ugly, but I suppose it will get the job done. It will also take a lot of copying and pasting to get this right.
I am working on a program that will take in a string of length 7 containing either R,G or B for the colours. The program will then check that the string if 7 in length and if it contains any other characters than R, G or B then it will be invalid. I created this code but when I enter the right string length and characters it always gives me the error for not having the right string length.

View 3 RepliesI am trying to determine the length of a string in pixels.
I created a little test program for myself and placed three labels on it, each with the same font in a different size. I set the width of the label to 1024, the screenwidth. I used the same test text for each label, cutting it off at the last character that shows, so there is not hidden text running off the label to be included in the string width count.
What I have found is that the width of the string is being reported as wider than the label, even though, as I just mentioned, there are no characters running off the edge of the label. So, something's awry. Does anyone know how to get an accurate width?
Here follows the whole test code. You can drop three labels on a form and run it to see what I mean.

Option Explicit On
Option Strict On

I have a program with 136 textboxes.
I want to be able to take a string that is entered into a textbox, and then put character 1 of the string in Textbox1, char 2 in TB2, char 3 in TB3, etc.
Also, how do I check the length of a string, like strlen in PHP?
Im working a lot with normal strings and during my development process strings with lengts of 10.000+ characters are being processes which makes it a my application run slower.Is it possible to shorten the length of any of string, in a way in which it also can be reversed?

I just wish to resize a dynamic textbox to the string length of the text
In VB6 if you do this,
keyStr = Left$(baseKey + encPassword, 56)
the string will be 56 characters even if it means appending whitespaces to the end.
in VB.NET
keyStr = Left$(baseKey + encPassword, 56)
will not necessarily be 56 characters. How can I force it to append whitespaces at the end if the baseKey + encPassword is less than 56 characters long?
I have an API that loads into memory from a button click. It can then either load an approx 10MB txt file (ASCII comma delimited characters/decimal list as a string) or live timed data from the internet. The idea is to be able to view the data in a text box. From there I can see what I am doing as far as spitting that info into a datagridview or database. The data is completely out of order in the txt file but has various Getinfo Functions / DLL's accessed via button clicks that split the data into its correct format to display in the text box. The problem I am having is not having fixed length strings in VB 2010. I don't know enough to work out if there is a simple work around or something more complicated required. Everything I have tried has left the textbox empty.

I have a title (in one line) that can have different lengths. I need to print this title on A4 landscape - page ( draw string in print page event), but always it should be located in the middle of the page, regardless of length. If I want to determine the exact location I have to calculate the length of the string in pixels. Or maybe there is a better way to center the string on page? How can I do it?
