can someone help me figure out how to read this text delimited file - Visual Basic Discussion Boards

i'm doing a project for school and i need a web site that is standarized enough to be able to retrieve a stock quote for any given stock symbol and return those values to either a sql database or an xml file for import into a sql database. i'm sure there is a Google solution to this, but i won't know where to start with that.

thanks ahead of time,
stephen

"xml stock ticker vb" works, in fact the first match is a full solution. If you use it, obviously read the article and then rewrite the code, so that you understand what it does, and you've actually done your assignment.

this problem appears only when the windows startup... and no problems comeout when i run the program directly on double click .

when the Windows starts... a new instance of the debugger run Mad | :mad:

.. then it come out with this message:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.TypeInitializationException' occurred in Unknown Module.

Additional information: The type initializer for "MyProgram.MyModule" threw an exception.

so what's the problem?

I need to program a 9 cell (column) X 9 cell (row) data box. I am new to VB and today learned that I was using "VB 6 for Dummies" book for book store, hmmmm, now what does that tell you?
Anyway the purpose of these cells is to only place numbers for calculations algorithms.
PLEASE HELP, been at this now for 3 days. Found a long site at MS and copied the code and it kept telling me to declare workcolumn but can find no INFO to help.....I know that this may be simple but I love this, and basically am self teaching.;)
can email at my regular email....

Sounds like you're using Excel ? Or interoping with it ?

No I am using VB.net I went to the comp store and bought it, and read the rather thin manual that is included in it, and now I wanted to stay away from excel I am good in excel but it is NOT compatible with out having excel in the program file.....
I really appreciate your help

Then a VB6 book isn't much help. You should take it back and try to get one on VB.NET. I still don't get what you want to do - you're not using Excel ? So you're using a datagrid ? What do you need ?

I have a file that is delimited by tabs and for the life of me can't figure out how to get my program to work correctly because the p 12 box 1 and so forth is not on every single line. If you could please take the time and help me that would be great.
Here is the code i have so far.
[code]
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim readpath As String = txtRead.Text.ToString()
Dim writepath As String = txtWrite.Text.ToString()
Dim sr As New StreamReader(readpath)
Dim line As String
Dim linevalues() As String
Dim contents As New ArrayList

Dim finished As Boolean = False

While Not finished
line = sr.Readline()
If line Is Nothing Then
finished = True
Else
linevalues = Split(line, TAB().ToString())
contents.Add(linevalues)

End If

End While
Dim sw As New StreamWriter(writepath)
Dim counter As Integer
For counter = 0 To contents.Count() - 1
linevalues = CType(contents(counter), String())
If linevalues(3) = "ACA" Then
' Write all information for ACA type meter
Call sw.WriteLine(TAB().ToString() & "3 " & TAB().ToString() & linevalues(2) & TAB().ToString() & linevalues(3) & linevalues(4) & TAB().ToString() & linevalues(5) & "100" & TAB().ToString() & "Single Phase" & TAB().ToString() & "FORM-2 BASE-S VOLT-240 TA-30 Kh-7.2 RR-13 8/9 Wire " & "Shipment4 " & "Accurae Calibration of the Carolinas" & linevalues(0) & linevalues(1) & linevalues(2) & TAB().ToString() & TAB().ToString() & TAB.ToString() & "0" & TAB().ToString() & "6" & TAB.ToString() & "100" & TAB.ToString() & "Z" & TAB.ToString() & "1" & TAB().ToString() & "8" & TAB().ToString() & " Radio Read" & TAB().ToString() & "10/10/05" & linevalues(6) & TAB().ToString() & linevalues(7) & TAB().ToString() & linevalues(8) & TAB().ToString() & linevalues(9) & TAB().ToString() & linevalues(10) & TAB().ToString() & linevalues(11))
ElseIf linevalues(3) = "ACD" Then
' Write all information for ACD type meter
Call sw.WriteLine("," & "3," & linevalues(1) & linevalues(2) & "," & linevalues(3) & ",,,Shipment 3,Langus Meter,1,Langus," & linevalues(4) & "," & linevalues(5) & "," & linevalues(6) & "," & linevalues(7))
ElseIf linevalues(3) = "ACG" Then
' Write all information for ACG type meter
Call sw.WriteLine("," & "3," & linevalues(1) & linevalues(2) & "," & linevalues(3) & ",,,Shipment 3,GE Meter,1,GE," & linevalues(4) & "," & linevalues(5) & "," & linevalues(6) & "," & linevalues(7))
End If

'Call sw.WriteLine(linevalues(0) & " whatever ")

Next
sr.Close()
sw.Close()
lblFinished.Visible = True
End Sub
[/code]

Here is a sample of the text file

[code]
P 12 1 ACA 26732042 50013209 100.09 99.73 100.09 99.73 100.02 100.02

[/code]

for an aca it needs to write to the file for example the following

tab() 3 tab() ACA26732042 tab() 500013209 tab() 100 tab() Single Phase tab() Form-2 Base-S Volt-240 TA-30 kh-7.2 RR-13 8/9 Wire tab() shipment4 tab() Accurate Calibration of the Carolinas & tab() P 12 1 tab() tab() tab() 0 tab() 6 tab() 100 tab() Z tab() 1 tab() 8 tab() Radio Read tab() 10/10/05 tab() 100.09 tab() 99.73 tab() 100.09 tab() 99.73 tab() 100.02 tab() 100.02

please note tab() indicates that it needs to be tab delimited.

Thankks for your help.

I've created a good little Media Player! It play's almost all audio and video format's using DirectX 9 and Net Framework. However i need to know how to change the Audio volume? (like Windows "Volume Control"). I'm Presumming it would have to be done using API. Just don't know how to do API in VB.net 2003 Enterprise Ed.

If anyone could help me out please?
Confused | :confused:

if ure using directx to play the video then...

Video.Audio.Volume = ??
Where Video is AudioVideoPLayback.Video object, Which you must be using?

So if i use "Microsoft.DirectX.Video.Audio.volume = Integer(value)" for Video Audio how about the Audio file Volume...?

What it is I've Declared my Video file as "DVF" and Audio file as "DAV" and Currently Playing as file as "DCF". If you understand where i'm going with this?

Confused | :confused:

Hi there,
Somewhere on one of my PC's I have a class that controlls the master volume.
I think that's what you're looking for.
I also have a nice volume control knob, so if you're interested, give me your e-mail address and I'll mail it to you!
Mine is Jerry___@hotmail.com (thats 3 underscores!).
I'm also interested in media players and stuff like that and I don't know a lot about DirectX. So if you could do me a favour and let me have a look at your code.
I'll look up the code and send it to you asap.

Cheers Jerry.

For a larger project you need to buy a converter, or do it yourself, line by line. It's not that hard.

Hi,
To remove Event Handlers from my all controls in the form, I want to use a generic code as follows.

1) Run through all controls in the Form
2) Run through all Events of a control using Reflection .GetEvents()
3) For each Event, I want to get the Delegate, so that I can remove all using GetInvocationList(). but .NET doesn't provide any property to get delegate for the Event Handler.

Please help. How can I get the Delegate for the Event Handler.

Does EventInfo.EventHandlerType[^] work?

Regards
Senthil

That only gives the Delegate type, but how to actually get the reference to the Delegate?

How can I show a transparent but 100% visible label( any text) on the screen without showing form so that the user does not get disturbed by th e text. Also same for an image. Thi sneeds to be done in Visual Basic 6.
