You are getting what error??? We can't help you unless you tell us what error you're getting.

How is it that you've been around here for over a year and you're not familiar with good ole Dalek Dave?

William Winner 11-Mar-11 16:31pm View

Can I just ask....

why in the world did you write this: Convert.ToInt32("0")???

William Winner 11-Mar-11 16:29pm View

From OP:

and inplace of

listProduseStoc.Items.Add(new ListViewItem(new string[] { dtProduseStoc.Rows[i]["ContractNumar"].ToString(), dtProduseStoc.Rows[i]["DescriereProdus"].ToString(), dtProduseStoc.Rows[i]["PretAchizitie"].ToString(), dtProduseStoc.Rows[i]["PretVanzare"].ToString(), dtProduseStoc.Rows[i]["AdaugatLaData"].ToString(), dtProduseStoc.Rows[i]["AdaugatDe"].ToString(), dtProduseStoc.Rows[i]["Achizitie"].ToString(), dtProduseStoc.Rows[i]["AlteInformatii"].ToString() }));

what to use

William Winner 10-Mar-11 15:06pm View

Well, actually, to be precise with your wording, there is not exact sample at that link that shows how to format a string with "yyyy/MM/dd".

William Winner 10-Mar-11 14:52pm View

Hmm...so many bad or inefficient things...

First, never do: "select id from [table name] where name='" + combobox1.Text + "'". You're setting yourself up for SQL injection attacks.

Second, if you are only pulling out one value, you wouldn't use ExecuteReader, but ExecuteScalar.

And finally, she's already pulled out the ID information, so why query that again from the database?

William Winner 10-Mar-11 12:21pm View

Are you asking if you can calculate the area of a square differently than a rectangle? Of course you can. And of course, you can use the same equation as for a rectangle. A square is a rectangle with the same width and height, so instead of asking for width and height and multiplying them, you can just ask for one dimension and square it...as the author did here.

William Winner 10-Mar-11 12:20pm View

Generally, we don't write people's homework for them. It would have been better to give them hints in the proper direction and/or asking more specific questions about what problems they are having.

Have you heard the phrase, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

While it was very kind of you to provide the full code, you aren't really helping him by doing so.

William Winner 9-Mar-11 13:06pm View

just an FYI, but people around here don't like textspeak. You'll lose a lot of respect writing like that.

William Winner 8-Mar-11 18:21pm View

Did you even look at his code? He's storing a single digit inside each position in the array.

So, if the user typed
75639234, it would be an array with 8 values equaling the individual components. Then, he takes that array and tries to convert it to a string equivalent by looping through the numbers. His function logic is correct. he just doesn't understand that a char is actually an ASCII conversion of an int.

William Winner 8-Mar-11 18:14pm View

As an FYI, in case you were curious, the reason you don't do this would be this example:

Someone types the following into TextBox1:

"something');DROP TABLE userinfo;CREATE TABLE Junk (something varchar(255));INSERT INTO Junk VALUES('I just dropped your table and created my own!"

Now, your full insert string equals:

INSERT INTO userinfo values('something');DROP TABLE userinfo;CREATE TABLE Junk (something varchar(255));INSERT INTO Junk VALUES('I just dropped your table and created my own!')

William Winner 8-Mar-11 13:53pm View

No. I would always open and close the connection each time. Unless you are doing a series of operations back-to-back, then you can keep it open. I just wouldn't recommend having an idle open connection.

William Winner 8-Mar-11 13:05pm View

Does it really take that long to connect to the database? It shouldn't take more than a couple of seconds and is that really worth all of the trouble?

William Winner 8-Mar-11 12:59pm View

No, a dotnet application requires the dotnet framework to run.

William Winner 18-Feb-11 12:39pm View

Have you stepped through your code? Are you getting what you would expect from each of the steps? Does TreeView.SelectedNode.Text return a valid file name? Does md5.Hash have what you are expecting to find in it? Does buff have anything that is contained in the scanbox.Text string?

William Winner 17-Feb-11 17:24pm View

Why do you create the FileStream, set it as a New FileStream in the same line and then in the next line reset it as a New FileStrem? You're just wasting memory doing that and the first FileStream you created will not get cleaned up until you exit your program!

You only need to do it once!

Also, you created the variable read as a string. You don't then need to say read.ToString. That's redundant again.

William Winner 17-Feb-11 13:12pm View

Thnx sir for ur Quick Response.

Actually sir, like in DAP(Download Accelerator Plus) After Downloading the files,It scan all the files if it contain any Virus then It alert.And In DAP we can also add Antivirus for scanning files from our pc.
Like DAP ,scan facility i want to embed or add in my VB.NET Application.

Plz Give Any answer related to it ,how can we implement scan facility like DAP???

William Winner 15-Feb-11 14:56pm View

FYI, adding a question mark to a statement doesn't make it a question.

A proper question would have been...How do I create an image and set it's color?

William Winner 15-Feb-11 14:45pm View

Is this supposed to be an online submission system? Or are you creating an application that everyone will have to install on their computer and it uploads to and accesses a SQL database somewhere?

William Winner 30-Jan-11 16:57pm View

Then you've added something to the array that isn't a Point.

Another good reason for the typed List from System.Collection.Generic. It would tell you if you tried to load something besides a point into it.

William Winner 29-Jan-11 6:34am View

I completely agree with you...which is why I didn't try to explain to him how to do it. But you made a blanket statement that said it couldn't be done, when in actuality, it can be. That was all I was saying.

William Winner 28-Jan-11 18:19pm View

Well, wouldn't that depend on the structure of the database? Realistically, since a database can have multiple tables, as long as the tables are stand-alone and don't have any joins, they could be in any number of files that you wanted them to be in.

But, yeah, he's outgrown Access if he's over 2 gigs.

William Winner 28-Jan-11 18:17pm View

Honestly, the only thing that I would say is that the value has to be null.

Have you added a Try/Catch block on the ExectureNonQuery or whatever you're using? And if so, are you including in the exception message what the value of tbFname.Text is when the error is thrown?

William Winner 28-Jan-11 12:47pm View

The not true part is where he says, "you have to loop through the values...". What would have been true would be to say, "you could loop through the values.

William Winner 28-Jan-11 12:46pm View

Technically, there is no question in his post. That was my point.

But, besides that, yes, I could tell him how to implement a linked list to build a "map" but, like you said, the OP needs to show some effort. Aside from that, we also don't know if he wants to allow 4 directions or 8 for the bot to move..

William Winner 28-Jan-11 12:26pm View

not true...ArrayList.ToArray is overloaded and has an option for specifying the type.

William Winner 28-Jan-11 12:25pm View

Actually, that's not true. ArrayList.ToArray() is overloaded and has an option for specifying the type.

Though, your way is still completely valid.

William Winner 28-Jan-11 12:10pm View

What is calling the constructor? what code are you using? Without that, we really can't help.

William Winner 27-Jan-11 17:59pm View

What exactly makes it the "right" one. As far as I can see, using SelectedIndexChanged or Selected is personal preference and therefore there is no right or wrong!

William Winner 27-Jan-11 17:53pm View

I agree with John...you should always make your code clear. I would prefer data.Split(" "). It makes it easier for someone who doesn't know the default to understand what's going on if they look at your code later.

William Winner 27-Jan-11 16:12pm View

The Selected event is under the category of Action. Or, you can switch to the alphabetical view and find it right after RightToLeftLayoutChanged.

William Winner 27-Jan-11 16:09pm View

Well, just like with any control, there are multiple events that one could use. If you look at the code for the TabControl, specifically the WmSelChange() method, what you will find is that OnSelected is fired immediately before OnSelectedIndexChanged. And with the SelectedIndexChanged event, you don't get anything in your arguments.

But with the Selected event, you get passed not only the SelectedTab object, but also the SelectedIndex number. This means that the SelectedTab event is a more self-contained solution and a better one.

Have you googled it?!

William Winner 10-Jan-11 12:58pm View

I don't understand how this answers the question...if he types that into a commandline, then it wasn't using autostart...

William Winner 10-Jan-11 12:46pm View

Are you using Visual Studio? And are you talking VB.Net or VB6 or something else?

William Winner 7-Jan-11 15:21pm View

Are you getting any kind of error, or is it just not working as expected? I don't see where you start shoot in another thread, so I assume it must happen in the form itself...is that correct?

And why did you set CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls to false?

Also, did you ever initialize the PictureBoxes in your array? As in
golyok[index] = New PictureBox()

You would also need to add it to your form for it to be displayed...are you doing that?

William Winner 7-Jan-11 13:59pm View

That's an interesting difference between VB and C#. VB defaults to adding controls to forms as Friend. So, you can access them automatically within the assembly.

William Winner 7-Jan-11 13:56pm View

Invoke deals with cross-thread operations and you haven't mentioned that you have multiple threads. Are you working in a multi-threaded application?

William Winner 7-Jan-11 12:49pm View

Well, at revision 1, the post still said,

So if the TextBox text looks like this:

hello

world

implying that the carriage returns are already there. That was my point.

William Winner 7-Jan-11 12:31pm View

Is the field a variable length record? I'm not at all familiar with VMS, but it looks like if you use a variable length record, you can load in data with CR-LF and it will convert them appropriately. They aren't actually stored in the db, but it stores the length of each line in bytes.

William Winner 7-Jan-11 12:26pm View

Though it does look like the assumption is that the carriage returns are already in the TextBox, so your answer actually doesn't address the question...

William Winner 6-Jan-11 12:43pm View

WTF? purchasing third-party hardware is the only way that you will be able to measure nano-seconds. So, who has a problem with that answer?

William Winner 4-Jan-11 12:28pm View

I do not think anyone understands what you are asking. Especially since the word "Chromosome" does not mean what you think it means. From dictionary.com:

"any of several threadlike bodies, consisting of chromatin, that carry the genes in a linear order: the human species has 23 pairs, designated 1 to 22 in order of decreasing size and X and Y for the female and male sex chromosomes respectively. "

William Winner 3-Jan-11 14:28pm View

What exactly does the error message say? (are there any inner messages?) And what line does it say the message is for?

And are you just trying to make things more complicated? What's with the
if ((fontstyle & System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold) == 0)?

What's wrong with
if (font.Style != FontStyle.Bold)?

That's, IMO, a lot more readable.

the chances of someone reading through your code to find out where you've gone wrong are pretty slim. You need to step through your code and figure out exactly where it goes wrong. Saying "it doesn't go beyond the initial stage" doesn't tell us anything. What is the initial stage? How far does it get? Does it give you an error message?

William Winner 7-Dec-10 11:38am View

yep...calling BringToFront before adding it (using Controls.Add()) doesn't do anything. You need to call it after adding it.

William Winner 7-Dec-10 10:51am View

No, you're actually not opening a file. You are using the file dialog to select a file location, but then you are pulling out information on that file from a database. And your join statement is correct, though like was said, you may want to change it to a left join. But you don't need to select every single record to be returned. This statement would be just as valid:

"select A.dept, B.firstdegA, C.secdegA, D.thirddegA, E.dipA, F.hndA, G.phone_one from apps as A join firstdeg as B on A.FileLoc = B.FileLoc join secdeg as C on A.FileLoc = C.FileLoc join thirddeg as D on A.FileLoc = D.FileLoc join dip as E on A.FileLoc = E.FileLoc join hnd as F on A.FileLoc = F.FileLoc join contacts as G on A.FileLoc = G.FileLoc where A.FileLoc = '" + filename + "'"

You need to look up how a SQL statement works. In a select statement you tell it to return only the columns that you are interested from. In the From part of the statement you tell it from what table, so you need the whole join info, though it could just as easily be done with 5 separate sql select statements.

when you posted your question, there were some rules to follow below the box.

The second one is "Be specific! Don't ask "I need to write a booking application". Specify exactly what it is you need help with."

Being specific doesn't mean saying, "I want to implement this". It means, "I'm having problems getting my DataAdapter to work, here's my code, what am I doing wrong?"

William Winner 29-Oct-10 13:59pm View

either throw a messagebox in and output the name value, or step through your code in the debugger and see what value you are actually getting for name. That could be your problem.

William Winner 28-Oct-10 15:52pm View

you have to post some code and tell us what the exception is. It could be a dozen different problems (or more) so there's no way for us to tell you what the problem is.

For instance, how are you connecting to your database? how are you loading it into the database?

William Winner 27-Oct-10 17:16pm View

Properly formatted questions will get you a long way on here. However, the inverse is also true...poorly formatted questions are bound to get you no helpful responses.

Also, txtspeak is very very very much frowned upon here.

And I would hope that they question was important to you or else why would I put any time into an answer?

Finally, next time you post a question on the site, look around the page you're posting on before doing so. YOu would have found "A few simple rules when posting your question".
Number 1 is: Have you searched or Googled for a solution?
Number 2 is: Be specific! Don't ask "I need to write a booking application". Specify exactly what it is you need help with.

You didn't follow either one.

William Winner 27-Oct-10 16:14pm View

First, this:
e.Keychar.equals=negativeS
is not the way to allow minus signs. In fact that shouldn't even compile that way.
Second...while adding a line where you did to allow minus signs, doesn't handle it.
Someone could type "34.534-" and that's not a valid double so it will throw an error. You have to also handle the logic of what to do if the minus key is hit.
Third, don't post an update as an answer. Either update your original post, or add a comment to an answer that you're responding to.

William Winner 26-Oct-10 18:30pm View

Setting the form's cancelbutton doesn't do what you think it does. From MSDN: "Gets or sets the button control that is clicked when the user presses the ESC key." Setting it as the cancel button doesn't close the form when it is clicked.

that works for you because I assume you are accessing the link from the server itself. file:/// tells the browser to look on the local computer for the file. So if you use a browser on your server, it looks on the servers hard-drive.

However, if Joe Schmo uses his computer (not the server) and types that into his browser, it will look for that file on Joe Schmo's computer.

William Winner 20-Oct-10 16:36pm View

I don't know how to answer your question, but I had some comments about your code. First, if you are only going to use one of the columns from your SELECT statement, why would you include more than one column in the SELECT to begin with? Second, in your SELECT where you select multiple columns, you say to select from two different tables, but you don't actually select anything from the second table, so there is no need to list ITEMPGROUP in your FROM statement. You could just as well write:
"SELECT ITEMNAME FROM ITEMMASTER WHERE ITEMGROUPCODE='" + sqlrdr(0).ToString + "'"

Technically this works, but really, you're not splitting based on the double quotes in this case, you just want to remove them.

William Winner 15-Oct-10 13:12pm View

he already know how to do the split. His problem was that the text was coming in with the double quotes surrounding the string types and he didn't want the double quotes around the text.

William Winner 15-Oct-10 13:11pm View

First of all, I would recommend putting a description of your question along with the actual question at the very beginning. Then, include only the code that is actually giving you problems and not just all of your code.

I thought the same thing the first time I looked at it. The second Try/Catch block is not within the first Catch block.

He wrote:
catch (Exception ex)
{ MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, ex.GetType().ToString() + " comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged"); }
try

which is the same as:
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, ex.GetType().ToString() + " comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged");
}
try

That's why you're getting the error. If you are using the System.Windows.Controls Namespace, then you have to use SelectedItems, not SelectedIndices.

Though I don't know why you would declare System.Windows.Controls instead of System.Windows.Forms.

That's because the standard ListBox that everyone uses comes from System.Windows.Forms.

The ListBox in System.Windows.Controls has a SelectedItems property that should do the same thing.

{
if(myTextBox is RichTextBox)
{
//RichTextBox Stuff
}
else if(myTextBox is TextBox)

//standard TextBox stuff

First, a little advice about how this forum is meant to work.

1) You ask a question. (step 1 done properly)
2) People try to answer your question (step 2 done properly)
3) If you have a question about a specific answer or you want to post some kind of comment to that answer, use the "Add Comment" button at the bottom of the answer (not done properly).
4) When the answer is solved (meaning that you don't have the problem anymore) mark the answer(s) that helped you as solved (not done properly).

Don't post an "answer" if it doesn't answer the question and you're commenting on someone else's answer. And don't mark an answer as being the solution if it doesn't solve the problem.

yes I can. But I will not. These are things you need to find a book to read up on or pay for a class somewhere. This web site isn't meant to be as a tutorial for all wannabe programmers. If you're a starter, then you need to start with something structured, and not just trying to figure it out as you go.

As a side note, looking at the other comments, you also need to make sure that you're checking what the user is typing in the TextBoxes. I will help you with a workflow, but you need to figure out how to accomplish it on your own.

1.)Check that what was typed in the boxes is appropriate (ie. for Month that it's an integer between 1 and 12.)
2.)Create the DateTimes
3.)Compare the DateTimes
4.)Do something based on the result of the comparison.

William Winner 30-Jul-10 18:23pm View

The point that was being made is that even though you might add the items in the same logical way and in a specific order does not mean that the first element in the dictionary is the first one that was added. It's implemented as a hash table meaning that as you add a new entry it could get placed anywhere in the list.

It really sounds like you'd be better off using a List. Why did you choose the dictionary to begin with?

William Winner 30-Jul-10 18:13pm View

I should also mention that if you want to avoid SQL injection attacks, then you should use parameters instead of the straight

cmd.CommandText = "ALTER DATABASE PASSWORD [" & password & "][password]"

For my purposes, no one using the database would even know what a SQL injection attack is, nor would it really matter since it's a blank database to begin with, so there's nothing they can screw up.

you got your answer, but this is a perfect example of why proper use of the Try/Catch is so important. Many, many people just add a Try/Catch to a huge block of code, when it is meant, AFAIK, to target specific statements that could throw an error.

People are using it like VB6's On Error Goto which is still available if that's what you're looking for. IMO, there should only be one line of code in each Try/Catch block aside from a few exceptions.

Have you checked what the query string is before running the ExecuteReader and making sure that the < and > getting in correctly?

William Winner 28-Jul-10 12:44pm View

You also need to check to see if the object is nothing before trying to use it. I would guess you're code is something like this:

Private Sub ActivateControls(rd As RadioButton, Optional txt As TextBox = Nothing, txt2 As TextBox = Nothing)
If txt2.Text <> "" Then
'do something
End If
End Sub

If you do that or try to access txt2 or txt anywhere in your routine without first running

If txt2 IsNot Nothing Then ...

you'll get that error.

your question seems very specific to the article that you referenced. This forum is for general questions, not about code written by someone and then posted on here that is giving you problems.

William Winner 28-Jul-10 12:27pm View

Did you actually read what I wrote? Also, you said, "i do not want the whole code, only some ideas??" so I won't provide that.

I would create a class that stores all of that information. Its constructor could be just the original word and then it could fill out a list with the synonyms. You could then have a property that would provide you with the {original|synonym1|...} syntax. Then, you replace the selected text with that syntax.

Then when you spin the word, you look for that syntax and replace it with the word that they selected. You need to look for the whole text, because what if someone on their own wrote "The list is: {23|24|25}" and you just searched for a brace with pipes in it? You wouldn't replace the write text.

William Winner 28-Jul-10 11:44am View

Now you've gone and deleted the "answer" you posted where I responded to your comments.

You don't put every single TextBox into a single List. You have a separate List for each type of TextBox as in:

Private txtUsrNmArr As List(Of TextBox)
Private txtPswdArr As List(Of TextBox)

Each control that you've numbered would get its own List.

Also, you don't need to write a different For Loop to iterate through each one. I know that I did that in my answer, but its unnecessary and you need to learn to think for yourself.

For i = 1 To 15
txtUsrNmArr.Add(Me.Controls.Find("txtUsrNm_" & i, False)(0))
...
cmbAdminArr.Add(Me.Controls.Find("cmdAdmin" & i, False)(0))

pretty basic google search

William Winner 27-Jul-10 12:31pm View

First, if you post an answer to your own question the only person that knows it is you. You should post a comment instead.

Secondly, you wouldn't want a single array for all of the textboxes. That was just an example. You would want a different array for each "class" of textbox. In your case like this:

Private txtPswdArray As List(Of TextBox)
Private txtFNameArray As List(Of TextBox)
...fill in the rest.

Then you add each textbox to the appropriate array. In your case, you would have 5 TextBox Lists, 2 ComboBox Lists and 1 CheckBox List.

And I did do it in separate For loops, but actually that's unecessary. You could do it all in one for loop.

For i = 1 to 15
chkBoxArray.Add(Me.Controls.Find("chkBox" & i, False)(0))
txtUsrNmArray.Add(Me.Controls.Find("txtUsrNm_" & i, False)(0))
txtPswdArray.Add(Me.Controls.Find("txtPswd_" & i, False)(0))
...the rest of them.
