First of all, I'm still new in VB.net and I had encountered one weird issue
I had created a tools that will split content from multilines textbox A into lines of string and add some characters and join them back and display in another multilines textbox B (A -> split content -> add character -> join -> display in B). The sample would be like this
Original Data from A:
This
is
a
test
data
Result Displayed in B:
Row 0 = This
Row 1 = is
Row 2 = a
Row 3 = test
Row 4 = data
Result COPIED from B:
Row 0 = This
Row 1 =
is
Row 2 =
a
Row 3 =
test
Row 4 =
data
The source code is
tempA = ""
tempB = ""
tempA = A.Text()
stringAry = tempA.Split(Environment.NewLine)
For iCounter As Integer = 0 To stringAry.Length - 1
tempB = tempB + "Row " + iCounter.ToString + " = " + stringAry(iCounter).ToString + Environment.NewLine
Next
B.Text() = tempB
So may I know why the copied result will be different from result displayed and how could I solve this?
You should remove any unwanted new line characters from the stringAry(iCounter) value.
tempA = ""
tempB = ""
tempA = A.Text()
stringAry = tempA.Split(Environment.NewLine)
For iCounter As Integer = 0 To stringAry.Length - 1
tempB = tempB + "Row " + iCounter.ToString + " = " + stringAry(iCounter).ToString.Replace(Environment.NewLine, string.Empty) + Environment.NewLine
Next
B.Text() = tempB

I have an Excel file that contains some datas that I want to export into an Access db. In the C column I've got a field called 'Description'. Usually this field occupy just one cell, but it can happens that is more long.
In this case, for example, AP.01 has got 5 rows of description. How can update the first row with the next rows?
Public Sub updateDB(ByVal PathDB As String, str As String, id As Integer)
Dim db As New cDB
Dim v As New cVoce
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset = db.RecordSet
v.Description = str
db.connetti_DB(PathDB)
db.get_rs("UPDATE Voice SET Description = '" + v.Description + "' WHERE id= '"+id+"'")
End Sub
Public Function get_rs(ByVal query As String) As ADODB.Recordset
If db Is Nothing Then rs = Nothing : Return rs
rs = New ADODB.Recordset
rs.CursorType = ADODB.CursorTypeEnum.adOpenStatic
rs.LockType = ADODB.LockTypeEnum.adLockOptimistic
rs.Open(query, db)
Return rs
End Function
This code doesn't work because I update my current row, for this reason is useless the UPDATE instruction. How can I fix my code?

EDIT2 I declared id As Integer and when Code column has a value then id=id+1. In this way I always know which row I have to modify. I modified also updateDB (now I'm using 3 parameters) and I added a WHERE condition into my query. Despite the update, nothing has changed
In database you cannot store records without PrimaryKey (actually you can, but it is bad idea). Since in your solution id is in fact Excel row number (sorry if I'm not correct but it looks like from code) it could be very hard to maintain it in future (in case someone add or remove description row). It would be better to change id column to text and use code as PK.
Storing description then could be solved in 2 ways:
1) Concatenate all rows containing description into 1 variable adding vbNewLine in between and store it in description field.
2) More relational but also more complex - create 2nd table for description with PK as i.e. autonumber, ForeignKey Code referring to main table. Maintenance will be here very complex. Not really worth effort.
Amount of changes in code is quite big, so sorry I'll not provide fixed code but I hope idea is clear.
BTW: The reason why description is not updated is described in your post. You are increasing id only when code is present, so every description field from first group have id = 1. The most simple fix in your code would be to create 2 update statements - One for rows with code
UPDATE Voice SET Description = '" + v.Description + "' WHERE id= '"+id+"'
Second one for rows without code:
UPDATE Voice SET Description = Description + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + '" + v.Description + "' WHERE id= '"+id+"'
I'm doing a school project in Visual Basic (using visual studio 2015) and i'm kinda stuck.
My goal is to create a lottery, where player chooses 6 numbers from checkboxes, then he generates six random numbers (1 - 49) and finally, those two sets should be compared and needed result is the number of correctly guessed numbers.
I have both results (guessed numbers, generated numbers) saved in two different labels.
The checkboxes itself are genereted like this:
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
lev = 20
tt = 0
For j = 1 To 50
tt = tt + 1
n = n + 1
box(j) = New CheckBox
box(j).Name = "box(" & Str(j) & ")"
If n = 11 Then lev = lev + 110 : n = 1 : tt = 1
box(j).Left = lev
box(j).Parent = Me
box(j).Top = tt * 20
box(j).Tag = j
box(j).Text = j
box(j).Visible = True
Next
box(50).Enabled = False
End Sub
First label (guessed numbers) is filled this way (i'm not posting whole code)
For j = 1 To 50
If box(j).Checked = True Then Label9.Text = Label9.Text + " " + box(j).Text
Next
and the second one (generated numbers) like this:
Do
rn = rg.Next(1, 50)
If Not r.Contains(rn) Then
r.Add(rn)
End If
Loop Until r.Count = 6
Label1.Text = r(0).ToString + " " + r(1).ToString + " " + r(2).ToString + " " + r(3).ToString + " " + r(4).ToString + " " + r(5).ToString
any idea how to compare numbers stored in those labels and get the result (number of correctly guessed numbers).
thanks in advance
You can compare numbers in the labels by splitting the Text properties of the labels into arrays of strings and converting them to integer arrays. First though there is a tiny problem with your code that adds the guessed numbers to the label.
For j = 1 To 50
If box(j).Checked = True Then Label9.Text = Label9.Text + " " + box(j).Text
Next
The " " should be moved to the end of the line because at the moment, the label will always start with a space and that messes with the function below. So you should have -
For j = 1 To 50
If box(j).Checked = True Then Label9.Text = Label9.Text + box(j).Text + " "
Next
Ok. The function below splits the two text labels into their own array and loops through the guesses and checks if any number is contained in the generated numbers. It then returns the number of matches.
Private Function ComparePicks() As Integer
Dim numbersMatched As Integer
Dim picks(5) As Integer
Dim generatedNumbers(5) As Integer
For i As Integer = 0 To 5
picks(i) = CInt(Split(Label9.Text, " "c)(i))
Next
For i As Integer = 0 To 5
generatedNumbers(i) = CInt(Split(Label1.Text, " "c)(i))
Next
For i As Integer = 0 To 5
If generatedNumbers.Contains(picks(i)) Then
numbersMatched += 1
End If
Next
Return numbersMatched
End Function
I'm currently having a slight issue duplicating a row and incrementing the sequence number.
So based on a button click, this is how I'm duplicating row 0, duplicated only one time per click.
Dim dr As DataRow
For n As Integer = 0 To 0 ' how many dupes you want
dr = tbl.NewRow
For c As Integer = 0 To tbl.Columns.Count - 1 ' copy data from 0 to NewRow
dr.Item(c) = tbl.Rows(0).Item(c)
Next
tbl.Rows.Add(dr) ' add NewRow to datatable
Next n
Here's how I'm creating the sequence number, pads with leading zeros, which seems to increment, but only after I click the duplicate button, so essentially the last row added, it the duplicated row 0, but doesn't represent the new sequence number needed.
'UPDATE SEQUENCE NUMBER
i += 1
Dim value As Integer = i
Dim r As Integer
Dim decimalLength1 As Integer = value.ToString("D").Length + 7
Dim decimalLength2 As Integer = value.ToString("D").Length + 6
Dim decimalLength3 As Integer = value.ToString("D").Length + 5
Dim decimalLength4 As Integer = value.ToString("D").Length + 4
If i >= 0 And i <= 9 Then
'1 TO 9 FORMAT
DataGridView1.CurrentCell = DataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells("sequence")
DataGridView1.Item(73, r).Value = value.ToString("D" + decimalLength1.ToString())
'Debug.Print(value.ToString("D" + decimalLength1.ToString()))
ElseIf i >= 10 And i <= 99 Then
'10 TO 99 FORMAT
DataGridView1.CurrentCell = DataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells("sequence")
DataGridView1.Item(73, r).Value = value.ToString("D" + decimalLength2.ToString())
'Debug.Print(value.ToString("D" + decimalLength1.ToString()))
ElseIf i >= 100 And i <= 999 Then
'100 TO 999 FORMAT
DataGridView1.CurrentCell = DataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells("sequence")
DataGridView1.Item(73, r).Value = value.ToString("D" + decimalLength3.ToString())
'Debug.Print(value.ToString("D" + decimalLength1.ToString()))
ElseIf i >= 1000 And i <= 9999 Then
'1000 TO 9999 FORMAT
DataGridView1.CurrentCell = DataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells("sequence")
DataGridView1.Item(73, r).Value = value.ToString("D" + decimalLength4.ToString())
'Debug.Print(value.ToString("D" + decimalLength1.ToString()))
End If
Row 0 will always have a sequence number of 1, so in theory I need to start incrementing at 2.
Suggestions? Is there a better/cleaner way of doing this?
UPDATE 2
Dim startSeq As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(tbl.Rows(0).Item(73))
MsgBox("startSeq = " & startSeq)
For n As Integer = 0 To NumericUpDown1.Value - 1
MsgBox("n = " & n)
dr = tbl.NewRow
For c As Integer = 0 To tbl.Columns.Count - 1
dr.Item(c) = tbl.Rows(0).Item(c)
If c = "73" Then ' if this is the SEQ column,
' add the current seq val to the seq column
dr.Item(c) = (startSeq + n).ToString("00000000")
End If
Next c
tbl.Rows.Add(dr)
Next n
It seems like you should be able to add the sequencer as you create the duplicates. Perhaps make it a method and pass the index of the column which has the sequence string. Something like:
Private Sub DuplicateRows(ColIndx As Integer,
Dupes As Integer)
' start value is Row(0) + 1
Dim startSeq As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(tbl.Rows(0).Item(ColIndx )) + 1
For n As Integer = 0 to Dupes -1
dr = tbl.NewRow
For c As Integer = 0 To tbl.Columns.Count - 1
If c = ColIndx Then ' if this is the SEQ column,
' add the current seq val to the seq column
dr.Item(c) = (startSeq + n).ToString("00000000")
Else
' otherwise copy the data from Row(0)
dr.Item(c) = tbl.Rows(0).Item(c)
End If
Next c
tbl.Rows.Add(dr)
Next n
End Sub
This should initialize each new row with an incremented counter. Is there a better/cleaner way of doing this
a) you should be adding to the DataTable, not the DGV if it is bound
b) (startSeq + n).ToString("00000000") should work to do the padding etc instead of that ugly block of code.
c) Use Option Strict On. If c = "73" ... is nonsense which makes the compiler guess at your intentions. Its is bug food.
d) Hardcoding "73" may work this time, but previously you said it could be anywhere. The code below finds the sequence column based on the name so it can appear anywhere. Rather than a form level var, you could find it just before you make the dupes or even in the Dupes procedure.
e) Dim startSeq As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(tbl.Rows(0).Item(73)) if you examine the answer above, this should be ... + 1 to increment the first value.
Usage:
Private tbl As DataTable ' table loaded from flat file
Private SeqColIndex As Integer ' assigned somewhere to
' point to the "sequence" column
' method to load data
Dim connstr = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;..."
Using cn As New OleDbConnection(connstr)
...
End Using
' FIND the sequence column for this session
For n = 0 To tbl.Columns.Count - 1
If tbl.Columns(n).ColumnName.ToLowerInvariant = "sequence" Then
SeqColIndex = n
Exit For
End If
Next
' later to add some rows
Private Sub ButtonAddRow_Click(...
DuplicateRows(SeqColIndex, NumericUpDown1.Value)
End Sub
I am trying to output text into another text box once the first has 5 entries in it. Example; i give the scores 100,200,300,200,200. Now when I try to enter a new score it should place it in the next textbox, but doesent.
Dim Testint As Integer ' define an Integer for testing
Dim sampleTextBox(3) As TextBox
sampleTextBox(0) = txtPlayer1Scores
sampleTextBox(1) = txtPlayer2Scores
sampleTextBox(2) = txtPlayer3Scores
sampleTextBox(3) = txtPlayer4Scores
Dim sampleLabel(3) As Label
sampleLabel(0) = lblPlayer1Average
sampleLabel(1) = lblPlayer2Average
sampleLabel(2) = lblPlayer3Average
sampleLabel(3) = lblPlayer4Average
scoreArray(textCount, gameNumber - 1) = CInt(txtScoreInput.Text) ' subtracting 1 from the score array
sampleTextBox(textCount).Text &= " Score:" & scoreArray(textCount, gameNumber - 1) & vbCrLf
'output statement
gameNumber = gameNumber + 1 'increment the counter
If gameNumber > MAX_SCORE_LENGTH Then
sampleTextBox(textCount).Focus()
sampleTextBox(textCount).Enabled = False
For i As Integer = 0 To 4 'Add the array values up
scoreTotal += scoreArray(textCount, i)
Next
playerAverage = scoreTotal / MAX_SCORE_LENGTH
sampleLabel(labelCount).Text = playerAverage
' I need the textbox switch here
textCount = textCount + 1
labelCount = labelCount + 1 ' and labels
ElseIf textCount > MAX_PLAYERS Then
'calculate team average
btnEnterScore.Enabled = False
Else
lblEnterScore.Text = "Enter Score for game #" & gameNumber ' 5 scores have not be inputted,
txtScoreInput.Text = "" 'ask for more
txtScoreInput.Focus() 'refocus the input textbox
End If
Fixed it...setting the max length to 15 forces it to move on after 15 digits, it also works when there are less than 15 digits
txtscore1.MaxLength = 15
I want to add characters (like % and pp) in values stored in a DataTable, but I'm getting an error message:
Input string was not in a correct format.Couldn't store <97.0%> in Actual Column. Expected type is Decimal.
How can I change the type of values that the DataTable can store?
Dim dv As New System.Data.DataView
Dim dt As New System.Data.DataTable
dv = SQL_Customer.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty)
dt = dv.ToTable()
dt.Rows(1)(1) = CStr(dt.Rows(1)(1)) & "%"
dt.Rows(1)(2) = CStr(dt.Rows(1)(2)) & "%"
dt.Rows(1)(3) = CStr(dt.Rows(1)(3)) & "%"
dt.Rows(1)(4) = CStr(dt.Rows(1)(4)) & "pp"
You can't change the type of a data table column once it's filled.
One work around is to add a new column of type string and then populate that column with the string values you need and then delete the column that is of the type you don't need.
If this helps someone, this is how I resolved the problem:

'Populate table with data from dataview. Note that the data is formated as per data loaded. So if number is loaded, then format for the cell is number. This creates a problem when adding percentages
dt = dv.ToTable()
'New colums are added as string format in the dataTable so that % and pp can be added

Next
