Put A Double Quote Into A String?
Mar 17, 2011
I have a problem that seems trivial. In an argument to an activity I need to supply a path.
This is done by this code:
String.Format("a
-bd -y -tzip {0} {1}* -r",
Path.Combine(BinariesDirectory,
"output.zip"),
BinariesDirectory)
However, the directories parameters contain spaces so they have to have quotes around them. I tried with single quote ' that works fine to put in the string, but the command shell executing the command ignores these. So it has to be double quote "
I have tried all methods I have fount on the Internet, for example to have a backslash before the double quote and to have three double quotes, but nothing seems to work. I get a compiler error as below.
Error 4 Compiler error(s) encountered processing expression "String.Format("a -bd -y -tzip "{0}" '{1}*' -r", Path.Combine(BinariesDirectory, "output.zip"), BinariesDirectory)".Comma, ')', or a valid expression continuation expected.

It would seem to be Dim MyString as String = """""" but VB doesn't like that.

I noticed that if I leave off the terminating double quote for a string constant in Visual Studio 2010, there is no error or even a warning, i.e.
Dim foo as String = "hi
However, the continuous integration tool we are using flags an error:
error BC30648: String constants must end with a double quote.
Is there some language rule in VB.Net that makes a terminating double quote optional "sometimes"? Is there some setting in Visual Studio that will make it flag this as an error, so I can avoid "breaking the build" in this way?

Data B
Data C
Data D
But from PC B,
Output:
"Data A"
"Data B"
"Data C"
double quote appears on open and end of each lines.

I'm trying to read a csv file with comma separated. Problem is inside the file, it has one column which original value already contains Comma. Here is the example
[Code]....
So, when I Split the string with Comma, it gave me problem. Actually total it has 6 columns. But because of internal comma, it gave me 7 columns. And this CSV format can't change so I must deal with this problem. And so here I come out with a solution (because of its too long, I looking for better idea and solutions from you guys ):

While searching on how to escape a single quote in String.Format, I found the answer at SO: Escaping single quote in String.Format(). It seems to be different for VB though. I tested it, and indeed C# needs
string s = DateTime.Now.ToString("MMM d \'yy 'at' H:mmm");
while VB needs
Dim s As String = Now.ToString("MMM d 'yy 'at' H:mmm")
Why does C# need a double backslash, and VB a single backslash? This might be a bit of a silly question to C# users, but while I can read C#, I'm not used to writing it.

I've been just making random programs trying to get the hang of the new language this time I was making a leap frog game where it switches back and forth beetween frogs every time a button is pressed. It also checks if the frog can land in the text box above the button pressed, if there is another frog there a message box will pop up saying sorry space is filled other wise the frog should land there.
[code]...
The error message says "Conversion from string "frog1" to type 'Double' is not valid." I understand what a double is but I've tried And If and that causes a bunch of errors.My Question is whats wrong with this cod and how can I make a double if statement???PS I did try to make an array to shorten this but thats in a different fourm will post URL later

"Description As [Desc], " & _
[code].....
Exception error is like

Actually, in my report, i wanna show if it's zero then '-'. If i set it in this string.I got another error like below The provider could not determine the Decimal value. For example, the row was just created, the default for the Decimal column was not available, and the consumer had not yet set a new Decimal value.

If Double.Parse(list_numbers.Item(i), possibledouble)
list_numbers is a list of strings
list_numbers.Item(i) = "0.000"
possibledouble is a double
debugger returns "input string was not in a correct format"
i thought that the double parse would convert the string into a double format of "0.0" but it gives me an error.

Is there an efficient method in VB to check if a string can be converted to a double?I'm currently doing this by trying to convert the string to a double and then seeing if it throws an exception. But this seems to be slowing down my application.
Try
' if number then format it.
current = CDbl(x)

I was trying to convert from Double to String and everything working fine. But when I tried some bigger number with fractions in it. I got the number but rounded. I tried something like that:
Dim dd As Double = 1235212435.3453636
Dim str As String = dd
MsgBox(str)
But what I got is 1235212435.34536 instead of 1235212435.3453636

As I compare the DSO with the DSO para, it seems doesn't compare both data at all. I have been converting the DSO as double first between comparing it as if i compare with string it doesn't work.
Dim dso1 As Label = CType(e.Item.FindControl("dso1"), Label)
If Not IsNothing(dso1) Then
dso1.Text = e.Item.DataItem("DSO").ToString
