Ways Of Shortening The Amount Of Code Used, Or Changing It?
May 6, 2011
(I'm using 2010 express), which includes, i think, very basic knowledge of coding. I have made a game in vb 2008 express before and it was a basic arcade game where you move your guy from the left to the right collecting points and dodging enemies that are randomly moving in the opposite direction that you are. Now I am attempting to make a sort-of user interface similar to that of the ps3 home screen, as a windows shell replacement app..
so far i have got what I am looking for in terms of moving between the menus, however the code that I have made seems very extensive for such a thing (in my opinion)..the question I am asking is whether there are ways of shortening the amount of code used, or changing it to be more efficient..if someone is willing to help, I will post my code, or upload my project (if given instructions on how to do so)

I have this code List<string> myList = new List<string>();
myList.AddRange(new MyClass1().Load());
myList.AddRange(new MyClass2().Load());
myList.AddRange(new MyClass3().Load());
myList.DoSomethingWithValues();
What's the best way of running an arbitrary number of Load() methods asynchronously and then ensuring DoSomethingWithValues() runs when all asynchronous threads have completed (of course without incrementing a variable every time a callback happens and waiting for == 3)

I have built a blog platform in VB.NET where the audience are very young, and for some reason like to express their commitment by repeating sequences of characters in their comments.
Examples:
Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
..and so on.
I don't want to filter this out completely, however, I would like to shorten it down to a maximum of 5 repeating characters or sequences in a row.I have no problem writing a function to handle a single repeating character. But what is the most effective way to filter out a repeating sequence as well?This is what I used earlier for the single repeating characters
Private Shared Function RemoveSequence(ByVal str As String) As String
Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder
sb.Capacity = str.Length

Suppose I have 3 vars:
dim a as integer = 5
dim b as integer = 1
dim c as integer = 10
What is the most efficient method of determining which variable has the largest value while using the least amount of code? I know this can be done with if statements, but there must be a more elegant way to do it.

I need a C# to VB.NET code converter, I want something that's ultra convenient, as I want to reduce the amount of copy/paste that I have to do... so could anybody give me some tips to what is out there? I want processing in bulk too, and to support the latest operations (LINQ, new VB inline-function support and all).

im trying to make a simple program that calculates the time it takes to cover x amount off nautical miles at x amount off knots, the code i have so far is this :
Code:Public Class Form1 Private Sub Label2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Label2.Click
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
[Code]...
so if i say want to cruise 29 miles at 12 knts it gives me an awnser of 2 hours 24.6 mins instead of 2 hours 25. Although i do realise that 2 hrs 24.6 is technicaly right i was wondering if anyone here could help me with getting it into the correct format?

im 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]

i have been trying to figure out auth system and after tons of researching and asking questions, I found a tutorial that "almost" fits my needs. This is what the code does:Basically a new form is created with a textbox and a connect button on it. When the program is loaded, the textbox has your hardware ID on it (also known has HWID). Then it looks for that HWID on a text file of the link given [URL] in this case as an example. If that HWID is found on that text file, then it leads you to form2 which is an actual program and if not, form1 closes meaning you have no access to anything at all. A basic authentication system and here is the code for it:
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Management
Public Class Form1

I am making a program for a game to change the textures. But when you edit an image file(the texture) it will change CRC32 and the game will notice you changed it so if you start the game the texture will just become grey. So what I want is that you can change the CRC32 code back to the old one that the game wil recognize and the texture won't turn grey. Now I found the CRC32 calculation on the internet but I can't figure out how to change it to the code you want.The CRC32 calculation class:
Option Explicit On
Option Strict On
