Use TextFieldParser Object To Handle Reading In The Data
May 10, 2010
Is this class normally slow or maybe there is something in my process making it slow.I have to import 170,000 rows of data from a fixed length text file into a SQL table. It takes about 2 minutes in a DTS package on SQL server 2000. But we are migrating to a SQL 2008 server and since this code has several manual steps and does not manipulate the data I thought it would be easier to use the TextFieldParser object to handle reading in the data.
Here is the code:

The end of the text document my application is reading is denoted by a character that I cant identify, copy or paste. I attached an image of it so you can see. I have no control over the formatting of the document so I can't change the character. During debugging it shows the same character as shown in the picture, but if I hit the little tack next to where the variable shows then it changes to "f". However, if I try to see if the variable equals "f" it returns false.

After browsing the internet on how to read RDF Triples, the only things i came up with were user created libraries and so on. Some MSDN documentation on Microsoft's website confused me as well, as trying to import the Namespace shown was not possible. (Maybe it's possible just in C#? no idea).So how would someone read an RDF Triple using VB.NET? RDF is an XML format in which data is stored in triples: subject, predicate, object.
Example:
<rdf:RDF
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">[code]....

I am learning to use TextFieldParser to read a fixed width text data file. It works great. I copied code below. Question: How to stop at the end of each line because I need to add some code?
Using tf As New TextFieldParser(fileName)
tf.TextFieldType = FileIO.FieldType.FixedWidth
tf.SetFieldWidths(60, 30, 20) //three columns

I know how to handle a single objects property changed event very easily. I want to handle a objects property changed event that is part of another object.
Given Object:
[ObjectY = Y]
+ Public WithEvents X As ObjectX
I would like to do something like:
Private Sub XPropertyChanged() Handles Y.X.PropertyChanged
Right now I need to create a object that equals the object inside that object and then handle this variable pointers property changed, but that is just annoying.

Is there a way to handle quotes with a field in text tab delimited file example:"This program works "really" nicely and is helpful" my reading and understand thus far is that while the file is tab delimited fields can also begin and end with quotes. Therefore is a field contains a quote it gets interpreted as end of field.[code]

Is there any way to run code when COM object is about to be disconnected from RCW without implementing IDisposale interface and explicit call MyObject.Dispose in client code?
The code below is not working. When program enters Finalize sub, ExcelApplication is already disconnected from RCW, and I get error. I understand why it happens, but I want to get a solution.
I want to make it working the following way: when last managed reference is released, code from Finalize sub is executed before COM object is disconnected.
My question is - is it possible at all and if it is then how can I handle this event inside the class, without need to call Finalize explicitly from outside?
Very simple class:
Public Class ExcelRunner
Dim ExcelApplication As Excel.Application
Public Sub New()

I have a .dll provided by a vendor and it requires me to pass a handle to the com port the device is represented as in order to access some other functions. Can I get the handle from the SerialPort object? The device I'm working with is a USB-UART converter chip with auxiliary I/O. I need to access the I/O which involves using a Visual C++ 6.0 .dll which is the one that requires the handle to the Com port.

Say I have a button that creates more buttons with a random .Text property, and placed them on the form in different locations. And since these buttons are being created at runtime, I want to be able to have an event handler for all button controls on the form that makes the form's text the same as the sender's text.

I have just loaded an access 10.0 database into my VB project as a dataset.Two of the tables contain an Ole object field and an attachment field (the data in the fields are described by the field types). All of the data contained in either of these field types, when observed in the dataset, show a warning and indicate that it is unable to display that data. As might be expected, when the data is called in a gridview, anything from those fields throws errors.
I would like to know if there are any known issues with these types of fields and VB, and if so what might be done to resolve that.

I've been thinking about my options when it comes to events in vb.net.What I'd like to do is to track events that are fired in an application without explicitly declaring them with 'handles' sub. Here is a pseudo-[code]....
Yeah I know, not quite working, but is there any way of implementing something like this in vb.net? My end game is really to be able to monitor events fired in many objects from another object, isn't there a more maintainable way to do that then to add a special sub in each object that handles the event that I want to catch? I need some way to let one object handle events fired in other objects without a special sub, the AddHandler goes a long way, but I can't really use that dynamically like so:[code]....

I want to use One routine to handle multiple events & i want to give the list class object to the routine handle clause in vb.net. Is it possible? I have 100 buttons on my web page & i want to handle click event of each button. I have same coding on each button but the only difference is that, which button is calling the event handling routine. So i want to make one sub routine for handling event of all my buttons.
I can solve this by writing each button name in the handles clause like - Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ImgRCP_26.Click, ImgRCP_27.Click,. But it is so lengthy procedure. So that why i want to handle my button in the arraylist. How to do this?

So I have a relatively small website with growing amounts of data - the fastest growing table is pageviews, as we do all our analytics ourselves. The website is made using VB.Net, SQL Server 2008 and jQuery. I am limited to .net 2.5.I currently handle all the data and validation using objects with a list of attributes. Each attribute is of a specific datatype and has a validation function when a new value is given to it. If the data does not validate then it won't even get as far as updating the database and feeds back an error to the user. Currently I have "Manager" classes and "Item" classes - Items are managed by a particular Manager class, for example Users are managed by the UserManager, so to get all the users I just have to call UserManager.Items. These Manager classes are stored in the cache and are created as needed - but once a Manager class is referenced it creates all of the Items within it. This is getting rather slow now, as the company is growing fast. It takes 2 - 3 seconds to load the first page (the page which makes most first-time requests to data) but I am not happy with this time. After that it is nearly instant.
Now the way I see it I have 3 options to speed the website up: Keep it as it is, but try to make it more efficient through other techniques;Change to creating all these objects on every page load, in the hope that it is simply so slow because I am using the cache to store a fair amount of data (about 10 MB or so at least);Forgetting using object oriented techniques and just use straight SQL queries and loop through records.

I have an RDLC report that I am rendering directly to the Response Stream as PDF (rather than using the ReportViewer). In the code that renders the report, it's DataSource is bound to a List(Of ClassA) objects defined in a custom assembly. This seems to work for the most part. My problem is that I can't seem to handle the situation where a nested object is null. For example, given ClassA and ClassB (the nested object) defined as follows:
Public Class ClassA
Public Id As Integer
Public Name As String
[Code]....
the report displays "#Error" if TheNestedObject is null. If TheNestedObject is not null, it correctly displays the Name.

I'm currently busy coding a hangman game in VB.NET.As a wordlist, I have a textfile containing 1520 words, each one seperated by a new line. The best I could think of to get a random word is with a Randomize() function. Then getting the word from the line # which was randomly generated.
[Code]...
Is there any better way for me to extract the word from that random line? If not, what would be the delimiter I should use for this and how do I quickly change the breaklines into that new delimiter without resorting to Office?
Also, how can I use the textfieldparser to get the file from resources? When I tried using my.resources.filename instead of "filepath", it gave me an ArgumentException due to "invalid characters in the path".

Ok so I am taking jm advice and using TextField Parser instead of ADO.net to read my delimited files and then build my own datatablesFirst question is how would I query the data?I need to be able to have two tables, one with sold propertys and one with propertys still for sale.The table I created thus far has all the records, the problem and my second question is how do you allow for a null value ?If one of the records isnt Sold then it won't have a Selling Price therefore when I set my datacolumn to be of System.Integer type It is not accepted

I'm trying to pass a business object from one WinForm to another WinForm for modification, and then repopulate the text boxes, etc. on the first form with the updated values.However, it seems that the object values set in the second form are not "sticking" when the code control returns to the first form.Is there a way to view the memory location of an object in VB.NET? I want to first make sure that the object variable on the second form is pointing to the same memory address as the object on the first form. Then I can take it from there.
In a separate VB project, I passed a simple object to a second form, modified the values, and re-displayed the object's values on the first form. It worked fine. In my real app, I'm passing an object that is a property of another object, which may be why it isn't working.SOLUTION: The problem was that I was using a DeepCopy() function that I found to simplify copying the properties of one object to another. Removing that function and manually setting the values to the passed object on the second form (ex. obj.property1
