  Hello, I am completely new to the Visual Basic langauge -although I know VBScript pretty well.

• MGunes generating variable names

  Sorry to be so stupid but I'm new and as yet have been unable to find a post that answers my question by searching. What I am trying to do sounds straight forward to me - but I can't do it. I want to be able to define and access variables from a string. Eg Instead of dim variable1 as integer dim variable2 as integer dim variable3 as integer dim variable4 as integer dim variable5 as integer dim variable6 as integer I want to be able write a for loop that defines all something like dim counter as integer for counter = 1 to 6 dim variable & counter as integer next counter Needless to say there aren't 6 variables (and for that matter nor is the code quite so simple) Similarly I might want this so t ...Show All

• Onlinemercenary StringBuilder and indexof

  Forgive me if you've seen this before. I seem to be losing track of postings. Mechanical failure at my end i suppose:-) Why isn't there an indexof method for stringbuilder's I would love to be able to code Dim sb as new stringbuilder sb.append("How Now Brown Cow") dim l as integer = sb.indexof ("ow") if l>-1 then sb.remove(l, 2) ALTERNATIVELY I note in passing that cstr(sb) does not work. Could someone explain precisely what happens when you say sb.tostring I'm assuming that you get the contents of sb stuck in another location in memory. Regards, Al Christoph Who really thinks stringbuilder is great besides this. You should keep in ...Show All

• Coroebus Is it possible to call a .net dataset from a vb 6 app.

  HI, Never tried, Suppose you have a .net dll with functions returning a Dataset. Now you have a client application in vb6 using Adbo.Recorset. Is it possible to convert a dataset to an Adodb.Recordset in the way mentioned above Any issues Thanks in advance Both ways will definitely work, and you should be able to databind to the recordset you get back, but it's tough to say which one will perform faster. You'd have to try out both to see which one works better for you. Obviously the lower the number or rows and columns the faster this will run. If you go the XML way you've got the overhead of doing the XSL transform and possibly writing to disk. If you construct a disconnected Re ...Show All

• Soumya B IRunningObjectTable.Register Example?

  Does anyone have an example of how to register an automation server in the ROT (Runtime Object Table) using IRunningObjectTable.Register and how to revoke it using IRunningObjectTable.Revoke Thanks, It looks like this example discusses the .Net 1.1 approach. There are new capabilities for doing this with .Net 2.0...has anyone used that capability yet I thought .NET 2 just introduced a managed wrapper for the interfaces, but use of them is exactly the same from a coding perspective Richard I've made some progress on this, but I've run into an obstacle I haven't found a solution for. The following code works fine within a single AppDomain; however, when I try to use it ac ...Show All

• New-Bee Visual Basic and a Database, very basic questions...

  Im doing a bit of research at the moment. Im creating a basic inventory system for a friend of mine, and for a class project all roled into one. It does inventory control, customer information, etc. The software I create will eventually be installed onto other peoples computers. Their "database" will be on their machine, accessable only to them. I will need to do very basic queries to the database, insert new data, update data, maybe a few triggers, etc. So I dont need a full blown database software like oracle or postgresql... I would like to not have the end user need to install a database program, just my program (and any dll files/whatever else..). I have Visual Studios 2005.

• ahmedilyas How do I determine how much ram a program will use?

  -Visual Basic Express 2005- I'm working on a very large accounting program that requires a few hundred variables. I'm declaring most of them publicly. Is there any information that tells how much ram strings, decimals, int16 and others take Also is there a limit to how many variables I can publicly declare in a module Thanks in advance Still, I would tripple check your design. Those couple hundred variables might better be expressed in arrays or collections of objects and graphs. It's perfectly possible that you could need them all but there may be easier ways on you. Several hundred public fields is a maintainence nightmare.   Oh and there is a page somewhere in the documentation on data types and their typical s ...Show All
