I am in a VB.NET class and I am currently modifing a game. I am trying to set up a High Scores system but a Null Refrence Exception error is making me angry.I am trying to reference a class called GameState which contains the Subroutines and variables to use the high scores. Below is the code for a form that is used to show the current high scores in two listboxes.
[Code]...
Code will run from frmFacility and will shift into UserControl:
Public Class frmFacility
Private primaryBaseDay As Date
Private isClassPrimaryView As Boolean = False
[Code].....
At the line If facilityForm.IsOnPrimaryView Then, I get a NullReferenceException. Do you know the reason?
Also, I cannot create a new instance of the facilityForm, since I need to work with its singleton, although when I add a new instance of frmFacility, the IsOnPrimaryMode is set to false while it should be set to true in the gotoday sub from frmFacility.
I am trying to create a high scores board - currently i was experimenting with just typing a number into a textbox and having it automatically order the numbers (in labels) from largest to smallest however i cannot get them all to work. either just the first and second (label) works or the second and third display the same number or the second decreases in value even though it shouldn't[code]...
View 7 RepliesI'm working on a video game in VB .NET and I was wondering if there is any way to store its high scores online.If there is any way to do this, that would be great, but otherwise, I'd like to know what would be the best method of locally storing high scores on a single computer.
View 1 RepliesI am Writing a Program in Visual Basic 2008 for my High Schools Advanced Higher Coursework Project... The Game its self runs perfectly and i can display the highscores. i just need some help showing 10 hi-scorers and in ascending order.Currently i am using this code for viewing them.
Code:
Private Sub HiScores_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim TmpHiScore As String 'Temporarly stores the data in file "HiScores.lol".
Dim intTempo As Integer = 1 'Stores the length of variable TmpHiScore.
[code]....
The hiscores them selfs are stored in a personalised text document and they are all on the one line. the format of this is NAME:SCORE,NAME:SCORE,NAME:SCORE and so on!
I am trying to read in high scores from a text file that look like this
Name1
Score1
Name2
Score2
Name3
Score3
etc.
I can write them out fine, but reading them in I seem to be having a problem with. I have read in the first name ok but when I try to read in the second name, it is giving me the 3rd name. Code below
[code]...
Can somebody please explain why lblName2 is becoming the fifth line of text instead of the third? I realise I have probably not used the correct type of variables
I am attempting to get hiscores into the correct order but.. I am having troble with some of it.. I have this for my sort alogrithm
Code:
For i = 0 To Howmany
For j = i + 1 To 9
If ArrScore(i) < ArrScore(j) Then
temp = ArrScore(i)
[CODE]...
The hiscores text file looks like this:
Code:
Stuart:120,LoL:192,Computer:112,LoL:113,
The immediate window looks like this when its run.
Code:
0 1 , Stuart , 120
0 2 , LoL , 192
1 2 , 120 , 120
2 3 , Computer , 112
2 4 , LoL , 113
3 4 , 112 , 112
in the ReadFile() Sub, if the user tries to read a file that is not there he gets an exception
which results in the 2nd line in the Catch being executed. So far so good. But the 2nd line of
code in the mnuOpen_Click then gets a System.NullReferenceException which I don't understand since
the mnuOpen_Click code all works fine when called from the Open menu item. The exception
information suggests I use the "new" keyword to create an object instance, but in all my reading
and all the different ways I've applied the keyword New to the code, I've not been able to figure
out how to do this.[code...]
Lets say I have two tables:
Parent
PK
ParentID[code]....
These tables have a relationship where the Parent can have 0 to many Children.I wrote this query "Select * from Parent left outer join Children on Parent.ParentID = Children.ParentID", thus returning all Parents regardless of whether they have children.This would return something like this if run directly against the database:
ParentID
FirstName
LastName[code]....
Now what I would like to do is use the ExecuteQuery method on my LINQ data context to run this query and return the set of objects related to it.What I am expecting to happen is have LINQ return two Parent objects one (Joe Smith) with one child in its Children collection and one (Tina Jones) with nothing in the Children collection.However what I am getting is an exception stating "The null value cannot be assigned to a member with type System.Int32 which is a non-nullable value type.I am assuming, since the error message is not very descriptive, that it is talking about the fact the ChildID is an integer and is not nullable and cannot correctly generate a Children object with that value.
I have a fairly simple piece of code:
Private _PurchaseDelivery as PurchaseDelivery
Protected Overrides Sub InsertItem(ByVal index As Integer, ByVal item As PurchaseDeliveryItem)
[Code]....
Which is inside a class which overrides a custom list base. The code is occassionaly throwing an unhandled exception, System.NullReferenceException, on this line when used in production:
If _PurchaseDelivery IsNot Nothing AndAlso _PurchaseDelivery.DefaultSKUBinID.HasValue Then
DeafultSKUBinID is declared as an Integer? (Nullable Int) in the PurchaseDelivery class. I cannot see what might be causing this error, why would this be returning an error?
When I put a break point to the last if clause in the sub ("If (backOrder < 0) Then", see below) it runs until the break point, if I put the break point further below, I get the following error:
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'OrderID', table 'WHM.dbo.OrderDetails'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. The statement has been terminated.
I've discovered first hand that it only happens when prodqty is bigger then qtyOnStock, thus executing the if clause.

Private Sub NCOSubmit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles NCOSubmit.Click

Im creating a quiz game although i was wondering if any one can teach/tell me how to create a high score system.For example when the user clicks say button1 (which is stop quiz) an input box will appear asking the user to input their name and then press okay. It then gets the current score from the text box (which is just an integer in a text box indicating how many they got right) and saves it to an Text file or something.and when the user goes back to the main menu, he/she can select "Hall of Fame" which then brings up the highscores (in a new form) of previous users scores.
View 10 RepliesI just finished making a Tetris game in VB.NET, and I wanted to add a high score system to the application. So, when a user completes their game, they have the option of submitting it as a high score, which will compare their score against the previous high scores, then place it accordingly. I was thinking of an XML approach of doing this, where the user's name, rank, score, level, and number of lines cleared will be stored in tags. Here is what I thought the XML might resemble:
[Code]...
So the program will have an array to store all the previous scores. It will read through the XML, and copy the the score data into this array. Then, when the time comes to submit a score, it will compare this score against those previous scores, and find the proper position for that score, and then save it into the array. At the end, it will then copy all the score data from this array to the XML, replacing the <Level>, <Lines>, and <User> tags in the process.I am however having trouble implementing this, as I have no experience with XML files and everything I've read has been very confusing.

I have a large project where we have 2-3 dll projects that are converted from VB6 to VB.NET. We have fixed all the issues that caused compilation errors, and most of obvious issues in running, so now we have basically a program up and running. The exe is created from scratch in VB.NET, using a lot of functionality from the converted dll's (including GUI forms). What I wonder is when I run the program in debug mode, I get a bunch of warnings in the "Immediate Window" saying:
A first chance exception of type 'System.Exception' occurred in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll
...and some of other type (but most of them in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll).I was wondering if this is common in projects converted from VB6, or if it is caused by bad design in our code...
Is there anyway to create a Custom Exception without inheriting System.Exception?
my reason is that they have a lot of methods which i do not wish my Class to have.
visual basic application prompting me a message "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". i have 2 project in one solution. One is developed in c# and other is in vb. i am calling a method of c# project in vb project. the vb code is:[code]when i debug vb project individually it works properly and when i call vb application from c# application, it prompting error. is i missed out any .net framework reference?

View 1 RepliesI am using VS 2008, Office 2007, and Win7 Home Premium on my system.I have a simple application which should be a breeze to build. All I am attempting to do is pull data from an Access database with four small tables into a data grid on a windows project. Should be simple, set up the data connection, choose a datagrid from the table in the data source view, drag it onto the page and done, right?I can't get it to work. It will all work fine until I attempt to run or debug the project. The data will not show up. The data grid does, but I get this error: A first chance exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in System.Data.dll
As I said, the project seems to build fine, but it will not pull the data. After the initial build I get the message that Windows will show this page in Compatibility View. Is it something with Win7 Home Premium, or a setting somewhere?
I'm using express 2008 build the windows app. and in the app, it calls a webservice which was built by VS2003.It works fine on most PCs. however, there is one PC, it always shows this error:

however, the configuration file was generated by express 2008, and it seems there is no error.

I have a program that creates a Treeview from information procured through an ODBC query and dumped into a dataset. I have three such queries set up via radial buttons as well as a refresh button that triggers whatever radial button is active at the time it's clicked. The purpose of this program is to allow drag-and-drop of selected nodes, ending with a post to the database that officially makes that change of assignment to the new node.

The thing i have done this before ,count that is. I know you cant average strings and some other function but i have been able to count.
