Hi,
I have problem this one
Dim url As String="http://www.codeproject.com/"
dim str As string
str= url.Remove(0,7)

I got the string "www.codeproject.com/"
after i want to cut string "/"
so it will be "www.codeproject.com".

But when the url like this "http://www.codeproject.com/about.asp"
I want to get result like this "www.codeproject.com" only please help me.

Sounds like you want to either use the built in class that knows how to parse a URL, or use the Split method on the string class, splitting on the / and then grabbing the section you want.

If you use the split method of the string class on the URL, you will get a string array and one of those elements will be www.codeproject.com, if you split on the /

Hi Socheat,

you can either use a regex or simply use split method with /.

If this is all you want accomplish, I will go with split.

Hi
Check this code

string strURL = "http://www.yahoo.com/quick/a.asp";<br />
string strURLremove = strURL.Remove(0,7);<br />
if (strURLremove.IndexOf("/") > 0)<br />
{					<br />
   strURLremove = strURLremove.Remove(strURLremove.IndexOf("/"),<br />
   (strURLremove.Length - strURLremove.IndexOf("/")));<br />
}<br />
Response.Write("<br>" + strURLremove.ToString());

Read the code in bold font carefully. Hope you are clear with this.

hi Socheat

i think u have to use Split() function and the saparator should be "/"

like this,

dim szStr as string= "http://www.codeproject.com/about.asp"
Dim szArr as string()
szArr = Split(szStr,"/",-1)
in szArr(BLABLA) U should get the string like
"www.codeproject.com"

Hope it helps.

Connect to SQL DB in VB 2005 express

Relatively new to programming in VB. I am currently writing an application that will use a SQL db. The database itself is pretty small and uncomplicated.

I am able to write the program using the embedded data source features within express, but I need to write this program to use a SQL server database. When I attempt to use the data connection wizards in VB express it will not let me connect to server-based DB's only AttachDBFile.

Is there anyway that I can attach a VB express app to a SQL server db and still use the DataSet designer, table adapters, etc.

I'm not new to programming, but I am new to the .net world. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Also, I have attempted to find this answer using forum searches and wed searches to no avail. Please forgive me if this answer is posted elsewhere in this forum and please direct me if that is the case.

Thanks!

Not that I know of. The Data Explorer in the Express Editions is crippled compared to the larger editions.

I was afraid of that answer...

Which version would you recommend?? Standard or Professional?

VB .Net exe/dll file compressor

Mickey016-Jun-07 15:09

6-Jun-07 15:09

Looking for a tool to compress my projects EXE file and the DLL it uses. Tool doesn't necessarily need to put all files in 1 total package. I tried Netz but for some reason this gives errors and I can't figure out which DLL is causing the problem.
I wouldn't mind if I need to compress the DLL files individually.

Christian Graus6-Jun-07 15:15

Winzip ? Or are you hoping to create a smalle file, which also still runs ? Try removing/reducing the size of resources in your files.

Mickey016-Jun-07 15:39

6-Jun-07 15:39

Some of the DLL's I'm using are rather big so I want to shrink them but still be able to run the app.

Christian Graus6-Jun-07 16:11

6-Jun-07 16:11

The only way to do that is to have things compressed and then decompressed within your app itself. What sort of files are they ? What sort of app is it ? ( compressing/decompressing will involve a performance hit )

Mickey016-Jun-07 16:34

The DLLs are 3rd party VB .Net tools required by the app. NETZ does a good job in compressing both EXE and DLL files and can even create one overall EXE file with the original EXE and the DLLs included. But...in this particullar case it doesn't work for me. That's why I was asking for any alternatives.

Christian Graus6-Jun-07 17:39

6-Jun-07 17:39

OK, if you have a tool that does this usually, then I'd suggest it's failing because the dlls are full of jpegs or some other file that's already highly compressed and won't compress further, whatever you do.

Mickey016-Jun-07 18:04

6-Jun-07 18:04

Don't think you've read my postings correctly. The tool I'm using (NETZ) compresses everything nicely but when the app runs it popping up some errors. I'm just asking for an alternative compressor. The DLLs are not resource DLLs containing pictures or what so ever.

Christian Graus6-Jun-07 19:09

6-Jun-07 19:09

OK - I see. If there are no resources, how big could these code files actually be ? I mean, most people have 60 gig + hard drives, how big is your project that you want to bother with this ?

Mickey016-Jun-07 19:31

6-Jun-07 19:31

Does it really matter how big my project is? Like I said I'm just looking for an EXE/DLL compressor as an alternative to NETZ.
