I'm looking for a way to search a string variable for two words and copy the text in between them into another variable. This needs to be done as many times as the match occurs.
View 3 RepliesI have several sets of similar objects (labels, progress bars) on a form in Visual Basic 2010 on Windows. In my code, I have collections that contain data, which needs to be pushed into the value/text property of each.
I would like to get a solution similar to PHP in that I can assign values somewhat like:
For ID as Integer from 0 to count(collectionExample)
lblExample{ID}.Text=collectionExample(variableID)
...and as such to loop through so each of the different lblExample's were updated to their corresponding value.
The issue I have come to is that I cannot seem to reference an object on the form using a variable. I have also tried using something like
CallByName("lblExample" + variableID, "Text", CallType.Set, exampleCollection(variableID))... however I still can't combine the string and variable to reference the object.
Any solutions on referring to objects in VB2010 by combining a string prefix and a variable string identifier, similar to PHP's $variable{$variable} approach?

I have an application in VB.NET which gets string data from the database. This string has data which looks as below:
"This is the update: I have an issue with the application"
I need only part of the data, that comes after the new line i.e. "I have an issue with the application".
For this I am trying to search the position using InStr where the string has data in a new line. I tried many options, but they don't work.
I used "vbCrLf", Chr(13), "
", "
", "<br/>", Environment.NewLine, but none of them work.
How can I get the data I need?
Say I have something like this
Dim Level1 as Integer = 83
Dim Goal as String
Goal = InputBox(" What level is your goal?")

I am trying to insert a string variable inside of two strings, and make a combined string. Public Sub Page_Load() Dim Id As String Id = Trim (Request.QueryString("Id")) End Sub Dim mp3text as string url... & Id & ".mp3" My goal is to make the mp3text variable have a string that is: url...(If Id is 7) It is for some reason not connecting up correctly. I checked what string it is outputting and this is what it is giving: url...It is missing the Id content.
View 12 RepliesIs there a way to call a procedure in Visual Basic (.net) with a variable name? For example, the variable strColour can be one of 10 pre-defined values, green blue black white red pink orange yellow indigo purple. How to handle each one is in it's own Sub Routine, colgreen, colblue, colblack and so on.
I can use a bunch of if..then..else and select case, but what I'd like to have is something like VBA Excel's Run "col" & strColour
The code below works for the class that I hard coded "XCCustomers" in my RetrieveIDandName method where I use CType. However, I would like to be able to pass in various classes and property names to get the integer and string LIST returned. For example, in my code below, I would like to also pass in "XCEmployees" to my RetrieveIDandName method. I feel so close... I was hoping someone knew how to use CType where I can pass in the class name as a string variable.
Note, all the other examples I have seen and tried fail because we are using Option Strict On which disallows late binding. That is why I need to use CType.I also studied the "Activator.CreateInstance" code examples to try to get the class reference instance by string name but I was unable to get CType to work with that.When I use obj.GetType.Name or obj.GetType.FullName in place of the "XCCustomers" in CType(obj, XCCustomers)(i)I get the error "Type 'obj.GetType.Name' is not defined" or "Type 'obj.GetType.FullName' is not defined"

View 1 RepliesI have a List(of String()). I have written a custom comparer (implements IComparer(of string)) to do an alphanumeric sort.Is there a way to sort the List using a given index to determine which position in the String() to sort by? In other words one time I might sort by Index = 0 and another time by Index = 3. The length of all String() in the list is the same.For reference this question is similar to Sort List<String[]> except I am using VB.net and that question is hardwired to Index=0.
EDIT from OP's comments:I started simple with the non custom comparer but I am getting an error: expression does not produce a value. Not sure what I am doing wrong.Here is the code:
Public Shared Function SortListOfStringArray(ByVal ListOfStringArray As List(Of String()), ByVal SortByIndex As Integer) As List(Of String())
Return ListOfStringArray.Sort(Function(x, y) x(SortByIndex).CompareTo(y(SortByIndex)))
End Function

I'm trying to retrieve a record from access database on the basis of a string variable.

i want to pass val variable, so that i can retrieve data at runtime.
just found out that replace(string does not do the same as string.replace when my string variable was an empty str the first one returns "nothing" and the second returns an empty string (as expected).just sloppy coding anyhow, it was a function that was converted from classic asp and never rewritten properly.

I am using the MODI DLL (Microsoft Office Document Imaging) because it has an OCR engine. That's working fine, but I'm having trouble capturing the resulting text into my own string variable (weird, huh). Modi has the result stored in the following Modi string variable:
img.Layout.Text
I've tried three ways to capture this value, only one of them works (not the one that I need to work)
(1) Dim txt as string = img.Layout.Text 'fails
(2) MsgBox(img.Layout.Text) 'fails
(3) M = new Msg(img.Layout.Text) 'succeeds
Method 3 (the only one working) is a custom msgbox I built in VB.Net, and it accepts a regular .Net string variable. I need Method-1 to work. The error thrown is this:
"Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt." I even tried it like this:
(1) Dim txt as string = img.Layout.Text.ToString.Trim
Here's the complete code:
Dim doc As New MODI.Document
doc.Create("C:VCR.tif")
Dim img As MODI.Image

If I try to put a string into a Boolean variable such as this:
Dim testValue As String = "True"
Dim bool1 As Boolean = testValue
With Option Strict On I get an error and the suggested fix is to change the second line to:

This is fine, But - what are the advantages / disadvantages of doing this instead:
Dim bool1 As Boolean = Boolean.Parse(testValue)
