okay

I think i got what you are saying.

You can start a Window Form...New->Project->vb->WindowApplication

i can show you how to make this program with a window form
care to see?

absolutely...I'm so stuck it's ridiculous. I started with the window form having the user enter the data into a textbox but after that I was stuck

okay i will make it....and send you the code for it.

is this a game? or a caulation....because i am coding the caculation program

its a calculation program...

actually do you think a select case statement would be better or the array?

array all the way

well i was thinking u have a textbox then when u click the button it will add the integer(number) to a listbox and to a arrayLIST (list is important)..the we will have a caculating button....and it will take all in the array list and average it out.

do u have aol aim or msn address? it will be easier to explain then back and forth on a form.

ok
owenguy22 on aol or aim

kk chat there

Does that matter? It is an algorithm problem, not a GUI problem.

Do you want to know more?

First, I know nothing of any games that have a batting average, you should assume that people don't know this. I am assuming you are talking about baseball, but I don't know the game.

You don't say what strPlateAppearance is? Where is outcome in the calculation? Where does total come from?

You really need to provide all the relevant code.

that's true...I didn't provide that and I shouldn't assume everyone knows baseball either.

Plate appearance will have an impact on batting average either hit, miss or n/a

in example a test case of "single" double" "strike out"
the function should return 2/3 = .666

and "walk" "double" and "stike out"
it should return 1/2 = .5

basically a user interface that ties everything together
A function and form module

ouch lol ...so a triple and a homerun and a strike out will equal somethin else lol

display txt in a picture box? or another way

OpenFileDialog1.Filter = "Textfiles (*.txt)|*.txt"
If(OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog()) = DialogResults.OK Then
//i'm a attepting this wrong? Or can i use pictureBox?

i'm not sure exactly what you want to do...

do you want to display a list of text files from a particular directory to the user? the optimal way to do this is think would be to use a list box and just query directly into the filesystem for a list of files (with a filter for text files). Then add the results into your listbox.

am i mis-understanding you?

hey jim,

yes it was unclear what i was trying to say before...it is very simple def. for one who has been doing VB for a long time. I just want to view a Txt File in a picture box. To see what the txt file has written in it.. clearer?? hmmmmm......say if i had gg.txt on my desktop...now in my program i want to view that txt file, and what it says(its value). I Know how to view a imgage ,but not a txt file and a animation file(flash).

*also do u know how to Run a flash animation in a VB form?*

*i get lost with some programming terms, i am learning stuff on my own soo i am just gaining knowledge.*

clearer??

much, thanks. typically you would use a textbox to display the contents of a text file. you use a filestream to get a handle for the actual file you want to open, then use a streamreader object to extract it's contents. something like below...

Dim fileSelector As FileDialog
If (fileSelector.ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK) Then
   Dim strmSelectedFile As New    IO.FileStream(fileSelector.FileName, IO.FileMode.Open)
   Dim strmReadFile As New IO.StreamReader(strmSelectedFile)
   Me.txtFindItem.Text = strmReadFile.ReadToEnd
End If

of course you can set the filter and initialdirectory properties of the fileDialog in order to determine where to look and what to look for.

you would need some sort of a flash host control for development. i would think if you have flash installed (a developer version, not the flash player) there would be some sort of .net or com component for hosting flash files, but i'll let someone with more flash experience handle giving you advice on that...

hope this helps.

-jim

ahh ic....yes that will help alot. thanks a bunch.

i did the code i got this error that the FileDialog did not work?

the error has this: An unhandled exception

is fileDialog a openFileDialog???

i figured it out.....thanks for all the help jim

Why not read the text file into a string using a StreamReader and display the string in a multiline textbox.

If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.
Margaret Fuller (1810 - 1850)

i get wat you are saying...multilined textbox?....is that a normal text box? or is it like a textbox that can view paragraphs from a .txt file?

Hi,

I've been tring to get nested repeaters to work in vb.net for a while now and I can't seem to do it. The data doesnt want to bind to the second repeater, or atleast it does bind but doesnt display. Here is the code that im using:

<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.Odbc" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data" %>

sub Page_Load
Dim sConnString As String = "Dsn=mysqldb;" & _
"Uid=bigtone78;" & _
"Pwd="
Dim oODBCConnection As New OdbcConnection(sConnString)
Dim myInsertQuery As String = "SELECT * FROM questions"
Dim myOdbcCommand As New OdbcCommand(myInsertQuery)
myOdbcCommand.Connection = oODBCConnection
oODBCConnection.Open()
questions.DataSource= myOdbcCommand.ExecuteReader()
questions.DataBind()

myOdbcCommand.Connection.Close()
oODBCConnection.Close()

end sub

sub questions_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterItemEventArgs) Handles questions.ItemDataBound
if e.item.itemtype = ListItemType.Item or e.item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem then

Dim sConnString2 As String = "Dsn=mysqldb;" & _
"Uid=bigtone78;" & _
"Pwd="
Dim oODBCConnection2 As New OdbcConnection(sConnString2)
Dim SQLstring2 As String = "Select * from options"
Dim myOdbcCommand2 As New OdbcCommand(SQLstring2)
myOdbcCommand2.Connection = oODBCConnection2
oODBCConnection2.Open()
Dim myReader As OdbcDataReader = myOdbcCommand2.ExecuteReader()
Dim nestedRepeater as Repeater = e.item.FindControl("opts")
if (Not nestedrepeater Is Nothing) then
nestedRepeater.DataSource = myReader
nestedRepeater.DataBind()
end if
myOdbcCommand2.Connection.Close()
oODBCConnection2.Close()
end if
end sub

<asp:repeater id="questions" runat="server">

<headertemplate>

<itemtemplate>

<footertemplate>

id

question

<%#Container.DataItem("id")%>

<%#Container.DataItem("question")%>

<asp:repeater id="opts" runat="server">
<headertemplate>

<itemtemplate>

<footertemplate>

<%#Container.DataItem("opt")%>

I there anyone out there smart enough to get it to work? What am I doing wrong.

It seems as though the forum has made swiss cheese out of my code. It put the bottom seciton on top and took out all of my web controls.... Mad | :mad:

o well. I hope you can understand it anyway.

Your question really belongs in the ASP.NET Forum. But for an example of this, see HOW TO: Display Hierarchical Data by Using Nested Repeater Controls and Visual Basic .NET[^] on MSDN.

I'm still new to this and I'm not to sure about how to use the code behind. Is there anyway to do it without using one? If there isn't how do you use one.
