String Search Listbox Entries To Avoid Duplicate Entries In VB 2008?
Nov 29, 2009
I have a program where you have three entries, CD name, artist, price and it goes into a listbox and .txt file when closing. I have to have a message box if you enter the same CD name. I have a code to open the .txt file and compare strings but I need to change it to compare only the CD name and not all three entries. Is there a way to do my string compare against my listbox without opening the .txt file?? The program loads the listbox from the .txt file when opening. Private Sub btnAdd_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAdd.Click' adds CD information to the list box
' declare variables
Dim strName As String
Dim strArtist As String
Dim strPrice As String

I've read through all the search results for this and haven't quite got it yet. I often get given Excel spreadsheets of file names and have to check through them for duplicate names.I am making an app to do this for me. I've extracted the data from Excel I'm just having issues with checking for the duplicate. I've tried 2 different ways I found online and neither are working for me,

My program is half a formulator, and half ordering system. Where I get stuck is the ordering system part. In one screen I have 5 check boxes that you can check for which products you want to order. The products you checked then get sent to another screen and put into a list box with a quantity variable that starts at 1 attached to it. Now, if you check the same product again, another time through the program, as of now, quantity accumulates to 2, which is good, that's what I want. My problem is I want quantity to keep accumulating, right now it accumulates to 2, then on a third pass through the program,it duplicates the entry, so now in the list box has the original product and quantity of 2, and another entry that has the product with quantity of 2. 't quite understand how they work. Here's the code:
Option Explicit On
Option Strict On
Public Class OrderRequest

I've imported data from a text file using Streamreader and populated a listbox with this in 3 columns. I now need to
a) get a total value from the 'Hours Worked' column (sum) and
b) put in a calculation to populate an extra column for each entry (Gross Pay) where values are not imported but entered as a result of a calculation.
My current code is as follows:
Private Sub btnRefresh_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnRefresh.Click
'Program Objective: Display payroll report for National Success Coaches which could be updated unknowingly at any time.

But i've a problem, everytime i hit the button "Save Settings" in my form/application it will re-save the settings to ini file, causing duplicate entries :(
Does anyone knows how can i avoid it to happen?
And, how can i retrieve a setting from the ini file to a textbox or messagebox or something?
(before anyone start saying me to use .xml, i was reading and i prefer the .ini files to what i'm doing)

I want to set a certain column to true or false automatically based on what value another column has entered. I managed to get this working by myself using the 'SQL Pane' in VB and testing it by using execute sql but I don't know what to do now. I assumed that I could just save it and it would work from there but that's not the case, it dissapears from the SQL Pane if I close the project (even though it worked fine when I ran the project the first time), so where do I put it/what do I do with it in order to get this to work?

I have 50 Texboxes.
I need to count the number of duplicate entries, and provide a summary (count) for each product code. This makes it easier when the order needs to be placed, and the user don't have to count each value manually.
I have tried looping through all 50 boxes to no avail. This seemed easy, but, clearly I am to thick to think of a solution.

The following solution should allow the user to enter 'colors' to a combo box; however, if the color is already entered (in an upper, lower case or mixed case format), then the 'Duplicate Color' message should be displayed. I get the message, but my color is also being converted to an upper case format in the combo box.

I'm using VB .NET and I know that Union normally works ByRef but in VB, Strings are generally processed as if they were primitive datatypes.Consequently, here's the problem:
Sub Main()
Dim firstFile, secondFile As String(), resultingFile As New StringBuilder
firstFile = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop & "1.txt").Split(vbNewLine)
secondFile = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop & "2.txt").Split(vbNewLine)

My application stands at the minute where the user can fill in a textbox, hit search and gets the results. The problem is that the user only get the exact name i.e. if he types in golf he only gets golf, what I need it to be able to do is when he types 'go' and hits search it shows all of the entries that contain 'go'.
My Current syntax is
"Select * from Software WHERE STitle = '" + TxtSearch.Text + "'"

I am to make a program that lets the user save certain data values with a delimiter(":") to a text file(done) Example of data entries [code]Then i am to load those values to a listbox , i was able to do that as well and i include the delimiter when i load the values.Now i am supposed to let the user enter any month/year value for date(mm/yyyy) such as 06/2010 and if any of the entries match the search string then either the program selects those values in the listbox or a popup msgbox is used to show the entries. How the result is displayed is a little irrelevant, but how do i search and atleast select the matching entries in the listbox ? and not just the first instance but all instances of the search string.

I just starting coding in VB.net about two weeks ago so I'm still a begging and I learn best by seeing working code and then adapting it to my situation. That being said, I need help displaying table entries in a listbox. I've successfully created a database in my test application, added it to my Data Sources and used a drag / drop method to add Datagrid View & Details (labels & textboxes) to my application for testing purposes. Now I want to try and display table entries in a listbox.
Example Database:Table: Contact
- ContactID (autonumber) [primary key]
- FirstName (text 50 limit[code]....
Also is there any benefit or down side to creating a database in MS Access, create the relationships & tables, then attaching that database to my application or is it better to create the database in the application like I did in the example above by using the Add New - Service-Based Database option?

I have a program with two forms, one that handles the applications controls, and the other with the functions that open a file (csv), open a database, and query the database. The controls on the first form are a list box, three labels (to display parsed csv information), and three buttons (clear database, load database from csv, and load listbox).
The clear database and load database buttons (events) seem to function correctly.On the other hand, the load list box event doesn't function 100% the way I'd want. [And, I can't test the selected index event yet]
The code for the load list box event is:
Code:
Dim db As New DBUpdt 'second form
b.openConnection("weather.mdb") 'open database connection
db.query("SELECT * FROM stations") 'query database
Do While db.moreRecords

You see, in my new VB application, I have a form with a TextBox and a ListBox, and I need to make it so that, whenever some text is written in the TextBox, a SELECT operation must be performed in a table belonging to an SQL database, in order to return the elements of a particular column that are LIKE the text I just wrote in my TextBox. The results of this SELECT operation must then be written inside the ListBox.In other words, whenever I have some text inside my TextBox1, I have to do:
SELECT Description FROM Elements WHERE Description LIKE TextBox1.Text (this must be done whenever the text changes)And the results of this operation must be displayed in the ListBox on the side.

Just what the title says. I have a listbox with varied entries, all in one format:name, email, phone, age
When an entry is selected, and when a certain button is clicked, I require the entry to be removed from the listbox and the four categories from the entry must each go into their assigned textboxes.

I have data entries in my database that have a common field. For example:
account_id type user_id
1 new 1
2 old 3
3 new 1
4 old 1
I am using a query like this(mysql): SELECT account_id, type, user_id FROM table WHERE user_id = 1
This is just all theoretical. The problem that I am having with this is it is only returning the first result in this case account_id 1. How can I get it to find all the results with the user_id 1 because in the way I am thinking that it is failing is that it is finding only the first result and then ending?

windows service app I am developing to audit events in the Windows Security Event Log. I am using the EventLog class to read entries from the "Security" event log. I have set the log to raise events when an entry is written so I can parse the data. Here is where my problem comes in. If I run the service on Windows 2003 I can get all the data I need from each entry, but when installed on Server 2008 the EventLogEntry ".message" property comes back with useless data like this, "The description for Event ID '4738' in Source 'Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing' cannot be found." Under Server 2003 the message property has good data. Using the Event Log Viewer in Server 2008 I can see that it is rendering the correct data, but I am having a heak of a time doing the same. The "replacementStrings" property has the corresponding data that I need, but it appears to involve some other steps to get the data localized to the event provider, but I do not know how to do that.
I also checked the registry HKLMSystemCurrentControlSetServicesEventlogSecuritySecurity on both the 2003 servers and 2008 servers. They are identical execpt the 2003 has an entry the 2008 server does not:
String Type: GuidMessageFile
Value: %systemroot%system32NtMarta.dll

I have an app that I'm calling up a 3rd party API.. and on each call I want to store off the patient data in to logs that are like weekly.. so on each call to the API I want to encrypt the data and push as a line into a file..I kinda dont want to open the file.. add in data then encrypt the whole file, that seems like extra work to me.so if I want to encypt the data from string to byte whats the best way to push into a file and then read out.. should I set the string to be a certain lenght so my writes and reads match up ? or is there a way to write to a data file so that it knows the end of the entry ? should I use a type class for this ?
