Re: A string question Christian Graus6-Jul-05 14:46 Christian Graus 6-Jul-05 14:46  I'd suggest that chr(92) is a complete hack. I certainly wouldn't use it.

How would one tackle what Re: A string question Christian Graus6-Jul-05 16:03 Christian Graus 6-Jul-05 16:03  With the \ in quotes. \ is used to escape things, so you probably need to do Split('\\') instead of Split('\'). Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Re: A string question [Marc]6-Jul-05 17:22 [Marc] 6-Jul-05 17:22  Oh ok, is that also in VB? I thought that escaping with \ was only in C, C++ and C#. I never had any problems with it... Re: A string question Christian Graus6-Jul-05 18:01 Christian Graus 6-Jul-05 18:01  I dunno, but I can't imagine why else someone would use chr(92) or whatever it was. How do you put a control character in a string in VB then ? Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Re: A string question [Marc]6-Jul-05 19:47 [Marc] 6-Jul-05 19:47  Well, i think that is the only flaw in VB Instead of "Blablabla\nSome more bla", you have to do "Blablabla" & vbNewLine & "Some more bla" Also, \t = vbTab, \" = "" and \x92 = Chr(92) A lot more typing...

Re: A string question jonathan158-Jul-05 1:38 jonathan15 8-Jul-05 1:38  i cant remember if \ is a control character in VB but certaintly in VB6 i used to use the chr(92) format quite a lot. For one project i needed to build a VBScript string containing SQL and i found using the character ref was pretty much the only way when creating a string with ' " combinations. Dont think its as much of a problem in VB.Net but i havent really tried. jon Re: A string question Christian Graus6-Jul-05 11:32 Christian Graus 6-Jul-05 11:32  Split is probably the easiest way to do this, as has been said, but a regular expression could also be used if you wanted to. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Re: A string question Scott Serl7-Jul-05 1:17 Scott Serl 7-Jul-05 1:17  Not sure exactly what you are after; here are several possibilities: Where s = "C:\Targets\TestAirplane\TestAirplane_WebDoc\TestAirplane_HDS\01 Fuse" s.Substring(0, s.IndexOf("Targets\") + 8) Returns "C:\Targets\" s.Substring(s.IndexOf("Targets\") + 8, s.Length - s.IndexOf("Targets\") - 8) Returns "TestAirplane\TestAirplane_WebDoc\TestAirplane_HDS\01 Fuse" s.Substring(s.IndexOf("Targets\") + 8, s.IndexOf("\"c, s.IndexOf("Targets\") + 8) - s.IndexOf("Targets\") - 8) Returns "TestAirplane" get value from databound combobox into string oakleaf6-Jul-05 8:41 oakleaf 6-Jul-05 8:41  Is there a way to get the selectedvalue (or selectedtext or selecteditem) from a databound combobox into a string variable? I keep getting cast from datarowview to type string not valid. Re: get value from databound combobox into string Anonymous6-Jul-05 8:44 Anonymous 6-Jul-05 8:44  Give one of these a try: ComboBox.SelectedValue.ToString OR ComboBox.SelectedItem.ToString Re: get value from databound combobox into string oakleaf6-Jul-05 8:48 oakleaf 6-Jul-05 8:48  I had already tried that. still cast from datarowview to type string not valid Re: get value from databound combobox into string Anonymous6-Jul-05 8:55 Anonymous 6-Jul-05 8:55  Do you have code sample? Re: get value from databound combobox into string Anonymous6-Jul-05 8:58 Anonymous 6-Jul-05 8:58  Also, have you tried: ComboBox.Text Re: get value from databound combobox into string oakleaf6-Jul-05 9:05 oakleaf 6-Jul-05 9:05  The error is in result of a query 'field_names is a string 'field_number is the underlying value commandtext = "Select field_number,field_names From field_info where field_number = " & cbfieldEdit6.SelectedValue.ToString cbfieldedit6.text works, but I need the underlying value I think I will have to do it in a round about way... commandtext = "Select field_number,field_names From field_info where field_names = " & cbfieldEdit6.text and then use a datareader to get the value I need. field1 = dr.getvalue(0) oops... modified query commandtext = "Select field_number,field_names From field_info where field_names = '" & cbfieldEdit6.text & "'" Re: get value from databound combobox into string Anonymous6-Jul-05 9:31 Anonymous 6-Jul-05 9:31  This person ran into a similar problem when casting to an Integer. Perhaps this is your problem? http://dotnetforums.net/showthread.php?t=89891 Re: get value from databound combobox into string oakleaf6-Jul-05 10:05 oakleaf 6-Jul-05 10:05  I ended up querying the database for the underlying value using the combobox.text for the Where clause (Thankfully it doesn't cause much overhead) I looked all over, and I am beginning to think that what I was trying to do is impossible by .net design. It is expected that you will be updating the datasource using the (updated) dataset. .text is the only data that I could get out of a databound combobox. Strange Behavior in WinForm Mtognetti6-Jul-05 8:27 Mtognetti 6-Jul-05 8:27  Good Day, I have decided that it is necessary to resize a form (new base size) as well as all of the controls it contains. But although I resize the form and its elements, when I run the program in debug mode (even after building & rebuilding both the project and solution) the changes do not take effect at run-time...only at design time. Any help is greatly appreciated. mtognetti communicating with c++ using sockets boy2126-Jul-05 7:57 boy212 6-Jul-05 7:57  is it possible to make a program develpoed in vb.net and another one in c++ and make them communicate with each other using socket programming.if possible,how? Thanks Re: communicating with c++ using sockets Dave Kreskowiak6-Jul-05 8:16 Dave Kreskowiak 6-Jul-05 8:16  Of course you can! Over sockets, neither side gives a **** what language the other is written in. One side needs to be written as a server and the other as a client. Kind of like an FTP server and FTP client. But, something is telling me that your requirements won't be satified with this method. So, dare I ask... What are you REALLY trying to accomplish using this communication method? RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome Filelistbox JimClark686-Jul-05 7:41 JimClark68 6-Jul-05 7:41  I can list my drives, my folders, my files, I can see everything that my computer has, using vb.net, now, How can I move the selected file (any file) on the filelistbox to a fixed destination?. Can I select a file from the filelistbox and then click the move(btn_click1) button to move the record to the specific location?. How can I do that? Is it possible? I'm trying to create a copying and moving program with fixed source and destination, specific for the company I work for. I can list my files, folders everything but i do not know how to move items from a listbox to a specific folder.
