I have a bunch of object variables which are all initialised in their declarations such that:
Private _myObject As New ThisObject("SomeString")
where ThisObject is one of a number of object types, but all are initialised using a string.
I would like to use the Visual Studio Find/Replace dialog box to search for "As New" then replace everything from "As New" to the first set of speech marks with some text such that:

My original example could be solved using other methods. This example is more representative of the actual problem:

I need to find a method of looping through a listbox and retrieving the index number and values - quite straightforward in asp, but turning out to be something of a nightmare in winforms!Here is the scenario - The user can add values in a textbox, that are in turn added to a DataTable that gives it a unique ID and a row number, this is then bound to the listbox. The user can then move the items up or down the list by adjusting the row number in the datatable and rebinding to the listbox..
The problem that I am hitting is when the user needs to delete an item -the first part is easy - delete from the DataTable and rebind to the listbox. The bit where I hit the proverbial brick wall is needing to loop through the listbox rows and getting both the index number and the ValueMember - that way I can change the row numbers in the DataTable based on the index number against the ID number.
The user enters a numerical value in textbox1 and click search. This searches for this value using PackageIO (any other options you guys think would be faster would be great) and will return how many instances of that value have been found. There is a second textbox and button that will only be enabled if 1 instance is found. If more than one instance is found, an error message pops up. I'm not too experienced with PackageIO. Here is what I have so far. The program crashes every single time. I'm positive there is something wrong with either part of it or the whole thing.[code]...
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to do a 'find/replace' sort of thing, but for some reason the Replace function isn't working. It says it cannot be indexed because it has no default property. How do I do the replace correctly?ere's my
Dim aString As String
aString = Replace(DirectCast(Form1.SplitContainer1.ActiveControl, RichTextBox).Text, Me.TextBox1.Text, Me.TextBox2.Text)
I need it to act as a "find next"...meaning that
1. When I click the find button,
2. In the main form, it should find the text
3. And when I click it again
4. It should find the same text again ..if it's in the main form
How to write the loop. This is what I have so far:
Private Sub xFindButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles xFindButton.Click
Dim startPos As Integer
startPos = xTxtSourceTextBox.Text.IndexOf(Me.xFindTextBox.Text) ', type)
If startPos = 0 Then
Me.xTxtSourceTextBox.Focus()

View 1 RepliesIn VS 2008 Pro, my Find and Replace function just went belly up. I mean dead. I have a document open, I click Edit -> Quick Find or Quick Replace, and the Visual Studio window flashes (the control bar at the top goes gray as if the IDE was deselected) but the Find/Replace window never appears.
I've poked at my settings, disabled the addin I've been working on, and looked all over the various toolstrips in Visual Studio - no sign whatsoever of the Find/Replace Window.

View 13 RepliesI have the following code which I am using to track a series of key presses as a string. When I enter the string up until the last charachter all is good.The idea is that I have my string ('--START). When I type this in any program, it will automatically be replaced with my specified string. The problem is it always leaves the last charachter.
Typing '--START Leaves me with [my replaced string]T
Typing '--END Leaves me with [my replaced string]D.

I need to develop a small application which can do a batch find and replace on all xml files within a folder. Example:
<cardHolderName>
<firstName>Geraldine</firstName>
<middleName>
[Code].....
I want to replace ALL <firstName) tags to John and all <lastName> tags to Smith to protect sensitive date. In addition, there will be other tags such as address, ss number and phoneNumber.
NOTE: There may be multiple instances of <firstName> within the file. 1000 xml files with all replacing names, address etc. with the same fixed name such as John Smith These will be used for testing and to prevent sensitive data from being leaked
There is no doubt that I can do this the long and dirty way. (I am working on).

View 1 RepliesLet's say I have an object that contains a Word property and a Sentence property. The sentence must use the word, and I want to replace the word in that sentence with a link using a public function (say, GetLinkedSentence). The catch is maybe the sentence uses a plural form of the word and maybe the "word" itself is actually a phrase, or is even hyphenated. There's no length limit to the word either. How do I find and replace this word (in ASP.NET, preferably VB) with a link [word])?

I am making a program for work, i have it partly coded, unfortunately i don't have a wifi connection for my laptop right now which makes it hard to add my code here. What i am trying to do is have the user pull in a text file from anywhere on the computer using a open file box that pops up, i got that part, to make sure that is working i have a textbox that reads the data of that text file, it gets pulled in fine using a stream reader. Now what i need to do is search the text file for certain values, and depending on the selected item in the listbox which is on another form, change that value in the text file, im guessing i will need to use a stream writer, and ive seen examples used based on the file location(C:....) but in my case im not sure how to do it.
