Replace The "1" Sting Text With A Reference To A Temporary 1-row Table?
Jul 27, 2009
This is my first time working with VB, though I've been working with VBA for a couple years now to automate office routines at my work. At my last job, I saved about 3 hours a day with my automations, and at my current job, I'm shooting for about the same. The problem is, though I have a high affinity for computers and technology, I never studied to be a programmer, and so I really can only tweak code I find online, and then eventually build up enough of my own subroutines to accomplish the tasks at hand. This is why I'm posting here on this forum, I've reached my wits end for what I imagine is a relatively simple problem. This was initially written in VB 6, but I imported and converted it with Visual Studio 2008, and it runs fine. This demo code is set to populate a PDFwith some sample string text. What I want to do is to replace the string text with a reference to data in either an Access or SQL database - I prefer Access, but either will work. Here is a sample of the demo code I'm working with:
[code]...
On this last line, I want to replace the "1" sting text with a reference to a temporary 1-row table I'll be generating from an Access Query, with Field Names to match the Form Field names of the PDF, So I've setup an Access DB with the following configuration (in reference to the path, I'm using Vista x64):
[code]...
I have also imported this table as a dataset (my understanding is that the import into Visual Studio 2008 makes it a typed dataset?) so either referencing the access DB directly or the imported Dataset should work. I can also setup the Access DB as a SQL DB instead if it would make it easier. Now, if I was programming in VBA, I might do something like this:

I have a VB.Net application that populates an Oracle 11g global temporary table. I can see data in the temporary table by loading it into a grid and everything looks correct.However, when I call an Oracle stored procedure from VB.Net that would manipulate the data in this temporary table, the stored procedure reports that my temporary table is empty.I understood that data in an Oracle global temporary table should be visible to all sessions.

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:
EDIT
My original example could be solved using other methods. This example is more representative of the actual problem:
Private _myObjectA As New ThisObjectA("SomeString")
Private _myObjectLongName As New ThisObjectLongName("SomeString")

I'm in an upper level industrial engineering class in which we're learning some entry level VB programming. We're working on building a program to solve the travelling salesmen problem (finding the shortest path through a collection of cities while visiting each only once) and I'm trying to add some 'fancy' to it so I can learn some more skills. The basic program is designed to load a bitmap file of a map into a picture box and a text file with the xy coordinates of any city positions. From there, the user can plot the cities with red squares, draw a random tour through the cities, or tour the cities by always visiting the nearest neighbor not yet visited. The modification I'm working on is a method of pointing out a specific city with a black square by entering the city's number (determined from the coordinate file) into a text box.
Private Sub TxtFindCity_textchanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TxtFindCity.TextChanged
Dim ObjFindCity As Graphics = picShowMap.CreateGraphics
Dim City As Integer
[Code]...
So far, the program works, but I want the black squares (but none of the other graphics) that are created to go away once the text box is cleared. As of now they just hang around on the screen until I refresh the entire image with a 'clear map' sub. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

I have several combo boxes that have a single Dataset and separate Table Adapter and Binding Sources to fill them.One combo box I have lists the Hispanic Origin of the client.The Data Source is bsCSpopup_HispOrg, the Table adapter name is taCSpopup_HispOrg.Below is the Table Adapter query if you can call it that and selects only the codes I want to fill the combo box
SELECT fcpopkey, fcpoptext, fcpopval
FROM cspopup
WHERE (fcpopkey = 'hispanic.origin')
[code]....
I am doing just fine loading the dispay text when the form loads, and saving the data to the client table, but, when I load the clients values, how do I cross reference the Source data value e.g. 1 to display the text "Not Hispanic" from the cspopup table.

I added a table to my Access database. I added that table to my dataset. Using Database Designer VB Studio, my table and tableadapter show up in the design view. The class definition is in the datasetdesigner.vb, and it shows in the object browser. But, I can't reference it in code. I am a newby and obviously missing somethning.

I am puzzled as to why this following code does not replace the word in each arraylist as a reference.
Dim AllMyWords As New ArrayList
AllMyWords.Add("hello")
AllMyWords.Add("how")[code]....
I would have assumed the FOR EACH bla IN BLA works like a reference but it seems like it does not.

Is there a simple way that I can replace a foreign key in a datatable, with a corresponding value from the table that the key is referring to, without having to create a new table or use tableadapter? Ive got a table that has a foreign key to a child table, and I need to get a column from that table to fill a dataview?

This problem I guess is easy to solve for an "RegEx" master :P
My string look like this:
"name":"stefanACM".id...
"name":"test1".id...
"name":"test2".id...
So I need RegEx to get only names from sting (stefanACM,test1,test2). That means I need RegEx to find string between "name":" and ".id

i'm stuck on something so easy, i've googled, tired various methods but cant get it to work. Imagine if you can, i have an array (set as a string type) but the second slot holds a numebr that i want, e.g. 2333.
So to grab it i use the following code, however as my sport array is set to a string it wont allow it. Like i said i have tried a few ways but nothing works. Such a stupid and simple situation. I'm much much better with actionscript surely its just a string to int conversion?

i have a problem in locating bookmarks which are defined inside the table cell. Each table cell in my word document can contain multiple textboxes. I need to fill text in each of these textboxes using word automation. I tried placing bookmarks inside these textboxes for each cell and tried to replace using Word Automation. But unfortunately, i cant locate / replace the bookmark using the following lines:
cell.Range.Bookmarks.get_Item(ref oBookmark).Select(); //this is throwing exception as it couldnt find bookmark in cell.Range.Bookmarks list.cell.Application.Selection.InsertAfter("New Text");

I current have an app that I am trying to create. I have 2 List boxes, a textbox, and a command button.What I am trying to do is take about 100 text files that all have certain text in them that I need to change at run time to whatever I put into the textbox. For instance Each Text file has my old company name and I want to be able enter my new name into the textbox and click the command button and the app will open each text file, find the text that I specify and replace it with my new name then save the file into a specified folder.What elements should I be studying to make this happen? So far this is what I've come up with:
OpenFileDialog - to open the file
StreamReader - to read the text files and find the text that I specified
**Not sure on the replace method**
StreamWriter - to write the text from the textbox to the new file
SaveFileDialog - to save the file to the specified location
