View 1 RepliesI'm trying to call a C++ DLL from inside VB.NET and am having difficulty with the data types (I think), I understand VB.NET far more than I do C++...I think my main problem is differing data types and I don't understand enough C++?In C++ the DLL is called (I don't have the source for the DLL which would solve my problem, I only have a sample project written in C++) by this;
_InitSensor = (InitSensor)GetProcAddress(m_hInstLibrary, "InitSensor");
_FreeSensor = (FreeSensor)GetProcAddress(m_hInstLibrary, "FreeSensor");
_ReadTEMPsh10 = (ReadTEMPsh10)GetProcAddress(m_hInstLibrary, "ReadTEMPsh10");
_ReadType=(ReadType)GetProcAddress(m_hInstLibrary,"ReadType");

I use Philip's MfRc500.dll for communicating with RFID chips. It contains a function for reading data, which is defined like this:[code]The second parameter in function Mf500PiccRead can returns "16 byte data block", so my long data type is too small. If I use byte() instead of long, then i get ExecutionEngineException Exception.
View 3 RepliesI'm torn between using UniqueIdentifiers(UID) or some other field as my primary key for my new web app. I have two tables. I need to be able to find the UID on one record in Table1 and put that UID in a new record in Table2. I also need to be able to create a brand new UID for the new record in Table2 on the fly.
View 3 RepliesVisual Basic 2010 (Express). If I take a string from a textbox and assign it to an integer variable, I'm under the impression that you're supposed to use CInt to explicitly convert the contents to an integer.intMyCount = CInt(txtUserInput.Text)However, if I don't do that, it still seems to work. Similarly, if I have an integer and concatenate it into a label's text property, it still works: lblResults.Text = intMyCount & " number of times."
rather than using intMyCount.ToString.Why does it work? Is VB doing implicit conversions when possible? Are there examples where not explicitly converting with .ToString or using CInt would cause unexpected results?
how I can stop text from wrapping in a label? My labels have AutoSize turned off and only show one line, but I don't want the text to wrap on to a second line even if it "thinks" that the text won't fit.

For eg, I expects 'true' for comparing 1000.0(Decimal) with 1000(Double) . Similary, it should return true if I compare 10(string) and 10(double) .
I tried to compare using Object.Equals() , but it did NOT work.It return false if two objects have different data types.

I have a table that has a "date" column and an "amount" column. I also have a form with two DateTimePickers ("dtp1" and "dtp2"), a button and a label. The label should show the total amount calculated from the rows whose "date" value is between the dates picked by the user with the DateTimePicker controls.

I tend to use
If Not IsDBNull(dr("data")) Then
myData = dr("data")

to catch nulls. Is there a better way? It seems I use this over and over again? Anyone write a function to check this something like

I don't know how to handle the different data types that could be returned.
I never thought I'd say this, but I am getting pissed at how easy it is to just plop down a variable in python without any declaration. I have an existing python script which interfaces with a server, and it builds its own messages to be communicated via sockets. What I am trying to do is take the command line python script and convert it into a VB GUI app that is more user friendly.

I'm creating a VB.Net Windows Form Application. Apologies if this is not clear as I'm still new to .Net. This consists of a text box and a gridview.The user is able to write SQL code in the textbox, click run and see the results in the gridview.It uses a SQL DataAdapter and the fill method to a datatable to populate the gridview.My problem is that I need to know the SQL datatypes for each column in the data table (NOT the .net ones). I.E SQL Server 2008 data type 'Date' is stored as System.Datetime in the datatable. I need to know if the SQL Server datatype is 'Date' or 'Datetime'.
View 2 RepliesI have a class with a Property called 'Value' which is of type Object.Value can be of any type, a structure, a class, an array, IList etc.My problem is with the setter and determining whether the value has changed or not.This is simple enough for value types, but reference types and lists present a problem.For a class, would you assume that the Equals method has been implemented correctly, or just assume that the value has changed every time the setter is called?If I did assume it's changed, then perhaps I should assume it for value types as well, so that the behaviour is consistent.

View 1 RepliesHere is what we've been trying to do.
We have a button that loads up a form. It opens up a form and there is a Table. Its the history table. Well, the way this table is loaded is we run a function known as HistoryTableSelectSubset. Now, this has worked very fine! Not a problem.
This is our problem. We want three columns in this table. First, QueryDate (WORKS!). Second, SQL (WORKS!). Third, MYNEWCOLUMN (Fail). What we want in this third column is basically the SQL column but with it all word wrapped.
So, instead of seeing only the first line of the SQL on the table if it is written like this:

I define 3 arrays: ID(n), Hour(n), Showed(n). If Hour(i) = actual time, I get the data pointed by ID(i), if not Showed(i).
BUT... I can add new hours or modify some existent, but I need to have the Hour array sorted. If I sort this array, the ID and Showed will point to different data.
So I though some different solutions:
1 - To make a string array with all inside (a 7 characters ID, a 5 characters Hour and 1 char for showed (T or F)). It could work, but, how can I sort the middle part of the array (Hour)? So, this don't work.
2 - A 3 dimensions "multitype" matrix (1 dimension of type Integer, the second of type Date and the third of type Boolean). I have no idea about how this can be done.
3 - A 3 dimensions string matrix, some like the "all inside" array: ID converted to a fixed size string, hour converted to a 5 chars string (hh:mm) and Showed converted to T or F. And sort the second dimension.
