View 7 Repliesim trying to make a fast food program on which the user will input the amount that he has, then he will check on what he wants, by using check boxes. There are 7 different check boxes with 7 different amounts of money. I have the program somewhat finished (thanks for the people that helped me before) but theres still a couple of things that I still need to get finished but I dont know how to.I need to be able to get how much money the user has (this will be entered threw a text box, I think I accidentally messed this part up, because I cant get it to work right, (theres alreasy a permit amount of money in there and it needs to be what the user enters instead of the permit, 5.59, one) and this will be the maximum amount he can spend, then the user will check on the food he wants (and the program will add the sales tax also) then it will produce an answer saying if you have enough money or if you dont. But what im confused on is how do I get the users amount of money and make it the maximum mount he can spend and make sure it doesnt go over the amount that he has checked.[code]
View 1 Replieshow can i breakdown the amount of money into available denominations. for example, i will input 7,542, the program will output how many thousands, hundreds and 1 coins are in the amount. im thinking the trimming functions of VB but no idea how to start.

I'm supposed to populate a multi-line textbox in one calculation, so that it looks like this:
1 $4,725.00
2 $4,436.25
3 $4,133.06
4 $3,814.72
Instead, I get:
1 $4,725.00
2 $4,725.00
3 $4,725.00
4 $4,725.00
I think the intYrs needs to go somewhere in the formula after all the TryParses.
I am trying to create a program to track how much money you earn until you have the amount you have been saving for.
View 2 RepliesI am having problems with creating this change problem. The idea is that the user puts the amount of money in the textbox and then in separate textboxes shows Dollars, Quarters, Dimes, Nickles and Pennies.
Example:

Dollars: 12
Quarters: 2
Dimes: 0
Nickles: 0
Pennies: 4

Need to design a program that can encrypt and decrypt messages stored in simple text files using a private key stored in a separate file. Software should also be able to allow the users to enter simple messages that either displays the encrypted or decrypted message. The encryption method should use a simple substitution method. It should be set out in the following format:
Example (the "@" is the separator):
@
The character The Code End of line
A @ 4gh EOL
B @ 84!9 EOL
Has to use the 256 ASCII character codes. The separator will be used to separate the character and its corresponding code.Here are the pseudocodes I have come up with:
� Read any private key file
separator = readline(file);
while not EOF(file) do
tempStr = readline(file);

I am working on an app now, and I need it to read text from a .txt file, but there's more. Here's what I want it to do:
Dim text as string
Find "file.txt"
text = line1 in txt file
Do something
text = line2 in txt file
Do something
text = line3 in txt file
Do something
And so on, until there are no more lines to read. I have searched, but all that I have found requires you to preprogram the amount of lines in the .txt file. I want to be able to add lines later without having to go into the code and add more.
The code below at the moment reads a text file and then writes it out again to a different location. One thing i need to be able to do before it get written again is to scan each line and reduce any line that has more than one space in it.[code]...

My last assignment for this class is supposed to deal with arrays but I can't figure out how they coincide with the assignment the teacher has given. The assignment is to create a program comparing two different drinks.
On the first form the user rates the drinks on a scale of 1 to 10( 1 being the worst, 10 being the best). Then a form with a summary of the results of the taste test is displayed. It should display the winner of the competition, the total number of taste testers, and the average rating for each drink.
My question is how do I get the information from the first form onto the second form and how do I calculate the average rating? Do I use an array?

I'm working on a project right now that basically prints a string to the field that has focus in internet explorer and there's quite a bit of user specified information that needs to load when the vb program loads. Should I use a text file to store and retrieve the settings or a database? I'm a new programmer and I don't really have a clear idea on when I should use a text file compared to a database or the registry to store info. Also, if I use a database like access 2007 for example, wouldn't an end user run into an exception if they don't have that software installed on their comp? Is there a universal database format? I've linked some screenshots of the prog if you want to get an idea of how much info I need to store.

One of the features of my new Vb game is the ability to modularly add and remove in-game items. However, in order to add these items I figure their effects should be recorded in code in the text file they will be stored in.In short, I want to store code in a text file and then have it run on command
Furthermore, is there a way I could put all of the code on one line?

What I need to do, is to call a SQL stored procedure from VB.NET, and then store the returned query value in a string.
View 13 RepliesI am having some difficulty with an xPath expression. I am using an XML document to store queries / stored procedure names in an ASP application. I use a utility function to load the xmldocument (if it isn't previously loaded) and I am attempting to select the node set from the document that matches an Id element. [code] the node variable only returns the first element. I have verified the that the qry string that is used to SelectSingleNode IS the correct Id value (i.e. USER002) - however the node is getting loaded with the USER001 element. It is obviously the xPath expression that is messed up. What do I need to tweak on the xPath expression so that I can return the correct <Id> element and corresponding child <Sql> element.

View 4 RepliesI need to know how to code a windows application program that will make it possible for customers to place orders online. Customers will have access to menu using a combobox,containing items available. The text file contains all menu items and the price of each item, as well as number of orders for each item. The file is created with a notepad containing 5 menu items.the first line contains the name of the item,second line contains the price and the third contains total number of orders which initially is 0. So far so good i know how to check if the file exists or not,and populating the the combobox, but ther's an instruction where i have ensure that the number of menu items does not exceed 100, and if so,should display an error message.and should validate to ensure that the total number of orders is>0,if not,re display the input box with a suitable message. Then on the save(menustrip),should write the whole textfile from arrays in memory,clear the combobox,display the message. Also has a process payment button where it should read through the arrays with a for next loop,then shouold write function called amount due,which recieves the total orders as a single data type,where the value for amount due is calculated as total orders*price.CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT SINCE IM A BEGINNER IN VB2005.
View 1 RepliesMy text file is a settings file and I know I will be adding more to it in the future, right now it reads "autoplay=false;mintray=false;"I am currently using probably the most inefficient way to check both of those settings:
if contents = "autoplay=false;mintray=false;" then
elseif contents = "autoplay=false;mintray=true;" then
elseif contents = "autoplay=true;mintray=false;" true
elseif contents = "autoplay=true;mintray=true;"
endif
How can I read the file, find each word from the equals sign to the semicolon, and store each of them in a variable identified by the text before the equals sign? Something like this:
contents = "autoplay=false;mintray=false;"
autoplay = "false"
mintray = "false"
Also, how can I edit the settings in the text file without having to overwrite everything every time I save to it? For instance; finding mintray in the text file, and changing mintray to true instead of overwriting the file with "autoplay=false;mintray=true;".
