Making A Units Converter?
Sep 22, 2011
So i decided to make a units converter for my term's project and my teacher insisted on including the combo box in this project. I'm not really familiar with the combo box as i am still a beginner in visual basic. I've looked around and learned a bit about using the combo box but later i faced a problem. First i created a Main combo box and placed it in the middle of the form. I managed to use the select case command to make other combo boxes appear and disappear as i wish. I don't really know how to describe the problem, i want to make it that if i choose the input as a unit and the output is any other unit from two different combo boxes, the value in the input text box would be multiplied by a certain conversion factor and the result will be shown in the output text box

I have been practicing, and have created an extremely simple image converter.I want to include some vector formats. The formats that I want to include, but aren't in System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat
are
.ai
.cdr
.dxf
[code]....
How would I go about writing the code, to where they would work? Is there a way to make them recognized?

Part of my assignment is to check if input to Group Number and Number of Units are correct input by making error handling exceptions...
I have to check the following:
a) group number is neither 501 nor 062
b) number of units are NOT numbers
c) number of units is NOT a positive number
So my first question is, am I checking correctly? 2nd question is, How do I make sure my Exceptions will pertain to their correct respective things (a, b, and c.. above)?

The program I am making requires the user to select what units he will be using. But it has to be able to convert his entered units and display them in the text boxes at all times during run-time. It works fine the first time the user switches units, but the second time the units are switched all the values in the text boxes go to 0... Ok Button

im trying to create a program that will convert between metric and standard units.I chose length as my measurement so i have nanometer,millimeter,centimeter,meter,hectometer,kilometer,inc,feet,yard and mile.i wanted the input to be
- number to be converted(text box)
-unit number is in(combo box)
-unit to convert to(combo box)
i know how to do combo boxes,buttons and labels and stuff.The output is the converted number this is what i have so far but its soooo wrong?
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Convert_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Convert.Click
Dim Inch, Feet, Yard, Mile As Integer
Dim Nanometer, Millimeter, Centimeter, Meter, Hectometer, Kilometer As Double

I'm trying to write a little program to help me find the distance (in feet/inches) between the frames of a ship. This would be fairly easy, except the frames are unevenly spaced.Let's say this is a top view of a shape, and the frames are vertical lines that comprise the overall ship. (In ships, this is the shape of the hull.) Each number is a frame.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
In this example, there are 1 units between frames 1-3, two units between frames 3-6, three units between 6-9, four units between 9-11, and 1 unit between 11-13.So, what I want to do is post a program where the user inputs two frame numbers: so they would enter, for instance, a start location of 5 and an end location of 11. So, it would calculate the number of units between those two frames based on the limits. So, between 3-6 there are two units, so it would subtract the start location from the nearest limit (6).
6-5 = 1
Multiply by 2 units spacing per frame, so that's 2 units. Frames 6-9 are all included, so 9-6=3 x 3 units = 9 units. Since 9-11 are also all included, it would be 11 - 9 = 2 x 4 units = 8 units. Then the program would add that all together - 2 + 9 + 8 = 19 units total.
Now, for my instance, there are a few more complications (it's in inches, and large increments (i.e. 36" spacing), and there are 304 total frames split between the middle of the ship in two sections, fore and aft of the line), but really I'm just trying to get a handle on how to impose these limits and calculate the distance. Attached is the proposed layout for my program (ignore the 20'5", that's just how I want the output to look).

Our VB.NET project is using a Java library from Vivid Solutoins [URL}... to do Geometry calculations.[URL}...
What I can't figure out are the units specifically for the Buffer property, or any other distance for that matter. My program is dealing with Nautical Miles, and the documentation gives no indication if the units are degrees, miles, Nautical Miles, Kilometers, inches, etc.

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...

I'm a huge music person (got my own lil record thing going) but I'm wanting to design a program that would make music in my way. I have a decent amount of background knowlege of Visual Basic and Java I'm just wondering how could I execute this whole project. The Project is making a MPC Sampler. MPC is a drum machine; a machine with buttons that once you press it that it will play a sound from a drum (ex: snare, kick, tom, ect.) . So I would want to make some pads on my program that each have their own sound. Total of 16 pads. Which the design wouldn't be hard to make nor would the functionality of it having the play back sound (in my opinoin it wouldn't be hard atleast). But the thing is I wanna map out these pads to number keys on the number pad or keyboard. I'm not so sure how to do that. But that's all the easy stuff...
Also finding information is making a sound directory. What I mean by this is that I want to make a User Interface that will open up a file directory of sounds and the user can select what "kick" or "snare" sound he may want for the kick or snare pad. I don't know how to do that or even know what to search; neverless I don't know if this whole project idea is a good idea for Visual Basic or another programing language.
Also LATER ON I am wanting to add a record and export function that alows users to..well...record and export their beat or instrumental ha. That doesn't seem too too complex (mainly due to the fact that all it needs to do is record the users key strokes and then show them and play the sounds, but obviously it would get more complex than that.)
Here is an image of one of many MPCs but one with a directory - [URL]

I have a button that i basically want to either show or hide it based on if a certain string has a value or not. I create the buttons in code so i was trying to used databindings with a converter but i can't seem to get the converter on the binding after the value changes. I'm not sure if I'm going after this correctly or not... Here is what i have for creating the button and the binding and the converter. "sFileLocation" is a string inside my class "QuestionsFile". This works for initialization but its just when the value of the string changes, this binding doesn't see the change and doesn't run the converter and all that for me...
Dim btn2 As New Button
Dim b2 As New Binding("sFileLocation")
b2.Mode = BindingMode.TwoWay
[code]....
The thing I don't understand too is that the binding works fine if i just binding the property to the Button.Content. So the property is updating correctly when it gets changed, and the buttons content changes accordingly.

.NET converter (either C# or VB.NET)? I've inherited a bunch of Delphi code, never seen Pascal before and rather than learn it, I'd rather just try to use an automated converter, if available, and clean up the code after that. Can't seem to find this kind of tool anyway I search

i'm trying to make a converter, i have 4 textboxes, 2 of them are encode, the other 2 are decoders.
on the encode process i use:
[code...]
I want it to be decoded when a button is pressed, because I cant use the KeyPress or KeyDown function because it will most likely be copy-pasted.
how would i do that, for instant the char A Will be converted from "W11" to "A".
Now i know there is a function called Convert, but i have no idea on how it works or if it even is proper for this task.
