Writing A Program Which Takes One Item From Each Of Two Lists?
Jun 11, 2011
I'm writing a program which takes one item from each of two lists and combines the items in one of three ways selected by the user. The results of the process are provided in either a summary form or a detailed form, again selected by the user. As it's currently developing, this program will contain six subroutines covering each of the six combinations of user selections, which are stored in three Booleans. Selection of the appropriate subroutine is done through traditional "if then else" coding.If I understand OO and Visual Basic (Express 2008) correctly, I could make the subroutines into different variations of one method, which when invoked would automagically use the correct coding depending upon the settings of the Booleans / properties. Assuming this is correct, the problem is that I have no idea how to actually set up code like this.

I'm using Visual Studio for the first time and VB. I have programed for awhile, but mostly new to windows related softwares. I have an access database connected to my test application and I am trying to display a drop down box with a listing of the item names in my table and the value that is sent off to my database is the actual item id. I can figure out the database part in terms of adding and editing, but I haven't been able to figure out how to display the full list. If I click the next button the list that is generated it displays the next item, but I would rather just list all items in the drop down box and remove that toolbar all together.

I am working on a program that takes data from a survey in the program and needs to compile it into a PDF file. Optimally it would just be a snapshot of the filled out survey. I tried using the PrintForm component in the PowerPacks section, but I need a PDF not an EPS.

A couple days, I figured up a working program and it was def. faster than what we needed. Now, adding a couple more loops, the program barely uses any memory, but the cpu used spikes up to 90+ and just letting it sit doesn't help.I tried taking out the couple loops I put in, but it does not revert back to being fast. It's nothing big, but since dealing with 1000+ excel files a day, I'd rather not do that by hand.
how many infinite loops vb.net can support without dragging down the system? I know, infinite loops are poor design, but it works.

I am writing a program that takes a SSN into a number field.Issue is when a SSN is entered with a leading 0. Ex. 012-34-5678 The zero is cut off and turns it into an 8 byte field, which is not good for SSN obviously.What can I do to prevent this from happening?

I am not recieving any errors, but the program is not doing what I had expected. I wish to make a program that randomly takes characters (well, not completely randomly. I used the table of letter frequency from wikipedia and included that data in my program by figuring out the max for the random numbers from the percentages in the wikipedia chart.) and adds them to a long list of characters ands saves the file every 5 minutes. I have calculated the timer interval so that the number of miliseconds shown is equal to 5 minutes. I am getting the textwindow, and it is showing (rather rapidly, as I need it to be) a long random list of characters (including spaces). The problems are (A) I am having difficulty saving the text as a file. You'll find the code that is supposed to do that at the bottom. The other problem I am having is once so many characters are added, the ones at the top start disappearing. I would scroll to the top, and each time I did so the letters at the top had changed (this is all during the same test), but I need all characters to be stored when the file saves. Granted, I haven't actually seen one of the saved files as I have not figured out how to make that work. One other thing, not sure if it's important, I haven't run a published version yet. I've only been running the debug builds. Does that affect how it handles actions with files?

I've been working on a program that takes input from a textbox, removes the punctuation, puts the words into an array (using the split method), and compares the array against a reversed copy of itself to determine if it is a word palindrome or not. I understand the logic, but I'm getting kind of caught up as far as what code to us. This is what I have so far, but no matter what I enter into the text box, nothing happens. I'm completely lost as to what I'm doing wrong.

I'm trying to make a program that takes my old records from Access and moves them to MySQL. Its supposed to take records from 3 different tables in Access to 3 different tables in MySQL. The first table is "Orders" and it sorts the ones to pull to the dataset, taxDS, by "Where Status = 'Waiting Payment' OR 'Cancelled'". Then the second table pulls its info(this is where i'm having trouble) by the "Control_Number" in the "Orders" table, so basically if the control number isnt already in the dataset its not going to pull the data into the new table "FNF Taxes".

I've recently started programming for Visual Basic Express - 2008, and I'm currently trying to make a program which takes a bunch of inputs (Name, Age, x2 score results) and then turns this into an output at the end which varies depending on the score results.
I've stumbled upon a small hinderance, which is that the very final stage which has a Console.Writeline does not appear after testing the program. So, everything else functions fine, but as soon as it gets past the "Console.WriteLine("All pupils have been calculated, the results are...")" command the program closes itself.I'm not looking for much help, just wondering exactly what is causing this to happen. I also realise that my coding is sub-par and is coded in a slightly odd fashion, but I'd rather just get this one to work and use the mistakes from this one to correct my future work.

My program that I'm creating is a quiz creation tool, based for teachers to create quizzes and then use them to aid with quizzing their students.I've got the whole program working in that you can create quiz, play the quiz and then see how many questions were answers correctly and how many questions their were The problem I'm having is that I don't know how I can save multiple quizzes, for example you can create one quiz, that then saves as a .txt in debug however, when you then create another quiz and click the save file the old quiz details are sitting in the .txt
Private Sub btnSave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSave.Click
Dim filename As String 'full file/path name for QuizRecords.txt
Dim index As Short 'loop control variable

I have a program that has a large set of classes in it. A certain incident (I won't call it an event, yet, as that has a specific meaning that will cause trouble later) needs to a relatively small subset of these classes a question. The subset of classes will need to respond to the question, but for it to be able to do so, the classes may first need to ask a similar question of the same subset, which may prompt yet a further question, though this recursion will never go more than three or four levels down. Since only a small subset of these classes will participate in the questions, while the majority will never participate, and since all of these classes are virtually identical, and I can know at design time whether any given class is part of the subset or not, an event is appropriate. The main class can raise an event, and those classes in the subset can handle the event, while those classes that are not in the subset won't handle the event. Furthermore, any of these classes can raise the event again with different parameters, as needed. Thus far, an event appears to be ideal.
The problem is this: As a result of the event, each class will need to add one or more strings to one of two lists. Event handlers can't return anything, so I can't be using the return values from functions to populate these lists.
Two options appear possible:
1) Include the two lists in the event arguments.
2) Have the two lists be accessible to all classes, and don't pass anything around.
The second part of the problem is that the event is effectively a question being asked of each class, and no action can be taken until each class has responded. If I simply raise an event and let each class respond, can I be certain that all classes that should respond have? An alternative solution would be to have each class expose a method, and call these methods for each class in turn. By doing this, I could get return values, but I would have to call the methods for ALL the classes, not just the subset that actually cares (the classes are all different types, but they all implement a common interface, and are added to a List (of ) that interface, so I can iterate through them all without much difficulty). So, the event seems more efficient, but adding a function to the common interface for the classes is the approach most certain of being a solution.

I'm making a program that takes common applications and installs them silently using batch files. Someone would select the programs they would want to install and my program will write a giant batch file and execute it to install whatever they want. Heres the problem, After the user selects the programs they go into either one or two lists. Non Silent Installer List Or Silent installer list.
Some programs I have simply won't go silently so from there they can choose in what order they want to install these programs. Then there is a combo box that tells weather you want to install non silent programs first or last. From there you hit add to batch file and it would add everything in listbox1 and listbox2 in order. Listbox1 would contain just the text "MalwareBytes" for example. Along with Novell Groupwise and Firefox. How do I get that to add to the Batch List as a code and in order? So the user wants Malware bytes added first to the batch file. How do I add that to my batch list as a completely different code?

I need to write a program in VB 2008 express that takes an user entry from a textbox and strips out all the spaces, changes it to either all upper case or all lower case then checks to see if it is a palindrome. I must also include a loop structure and a decision structure. I have seen bits and pieces of code but I do not really know how to put them together. Basically I need it from the button click to the end. ?

I wrote the code and it runs through it perfectly, the problem is that it will only save it to the database temporarily. So once I close down visual studio for the night and come back to it what's been entered is gone. It's not a published program still in debug mode but I've not run into this before. I have another program I'm working on that I'm running purely in debug mode and it works flawlessly. The code between the two is the same cause I just copied it and changed the parameters. Any ideas? I'm using an sql mdf btw.I should clarify, don't know if it matters or not, that the DB that is working is in SQL server whereas the DB I'm having trouble with is a mdf that I added into the program.

Just completed a program, and tested it. It works, and does exactly what its supposed to do, but I continue to get this error: Cannot Write to a closed TextWriter.The code I'm using is below, but the issue here which I'm guessing would be that in my If statement.[code]'Goes on to create a bunch of tabled XML text.I have this code copied throughout each If Then loop. Basically If the text box is blank then the program will close the table and stop writing.I know the problem most probably lies in that its reading that its trying to close the table or stop writing, but the program forces it to continue.

I am writing a Marketing email program so we can email news letters and the lke to customer listed in our database.One part of the application is a email templates page. On this there is a tabpage. Tab1 has a textbox and teb2 has a browser window.The user pastes/write HTML code in to the text box and it displays the formatted email/html in the browsers window.
The users just want to edit the text from time to time and within VS.NET and TEXPAD the html code is colour coded depending on the html tags.I guess this can not be done in my textbox1 but can it be done in a rictextbox and text_change event?
