Hello
I am making small quiz with vb.net 2003 and all the questions and options are in access database there is one column for question and 4 columns for wrong answers and one for correct answer

this is the code

Try<br />
                Do<br />
                    odaTest.Fill(dsTest)<br />
                    R = CInt(Int(ArraySize * Rnd()))<br />
<br />
                    '[Go to the next entry]<br />
                    Me.BindingContext(dsTest, "MyTest").Position = R<br />
                Loop Until Asked(R) = False<br />
                PoAns = DataView1.Item(R).Item("CorrectAns")<br />
                WAnswer(0) = DataView1.Item(R).Item("Op1")<br />
                WAnswer(1) = DataView1.Item(R).Item("Op2")<br />
                WAnswer(2) = DataView1.Item(R).Item("Op3")<br />
                WAnswer(3) = DataView1.Item(R).Item("Op4")<br />
                'randomize 4 options<br />
                For X As Integer = 0 To 3<br />
                    MyTB(CInt(Rnd() * 3)).Text = WAnswer(X)<br />
<br />
                Next X<br />
<br />
                'now randomize one correct answer<br />
                MyTB(CInt(Rnd() * 3)).Text = PoAns<br />
                AskedQ += 1<br />
                Asked(R) = True<br />
            Catch eLoad As System.Exception<br />
                MessageBox.Show(eLoad.Message)<br />
            End Try

And i am checking correct answer like this

 Private Sub CheckAnswer()<br />
        If CheckedTB.Text = PoAns Then<br />
            MsgBox("Right", MsgBoxStyle.MsgBoxSetForeground)<br />
        End If<br />
<br />
    End Sub

So now problem is some time it's shows same wrong answer in two different textboxes but it's shows correct answer in different textbox every time so now i am bit confuse that am i going in to right direction any help Unsure | :~

You need to put your questions in a list and pull from them randomly, removing them as you pull. Right now, you are pulling randomly from the full list every time and so will have duplicates.

Hello sir

First of thank you very much for your rep.
But sir problem is not questions it's working fine and it's not repeating at all because i have set one Boolen variable so it's True that question which has been asked but problem is options for any question like i have 4 columns for wrong answer and one for correct answer so i am randomizing it first and then i am randomizing the one correct answer to display in text box so main problem is some time it's displays same options in two different text boxes and i am sure i am very close to it but some time it's hard to see small errors and code bellow is to randomize 4 options and one correct answer

'randomize 4 options

          For X As Integer = 0 To 3<br />
                    MyTB(CInt(Rnd() * 3)).Text = WAnswer(X)<br />
<br />
                Next X<br />
<br />
                'now randomize one correct answer<br />
                MyTB(CInt(Rnd() * 3)).Text = PoAns

and second thing sir the way i am checking correct answer is it the right way to check it or some thing else ? Unsure | :~

code is like this
the first line gets the correct answer for asked question and put it in to PoAns variable

PoAns = DataView1.Item(R).Item("CorrectAns")

  Private Sub CheckAnswer()<br />
        If CheckedTB.Text = PoAns Then<br />
            MsgBox("Right", MsgBoxStyle.MsgBoxSetForeground)<br />
        End If<br />
<br />
    End Sub<br />
    Private Sub txtA_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtA.Click, txtB.Click, _<br />
     txtC.Click, txtD.Click<br />
        CheckedTB = CType(sender, TextBox)<br />
        Call CheckAnswer()<br />
<br />
    End Sub

waiting for your kind rep. Smile | :)

thanks again for your rep.

have a nice day sir

OK, you have it in reverse. You're not actually going to select all four textboxes, because you are doing what I already told you is wrong - four random numbers instead of 0,1,2,3 sorted randomly.

                    Loop Until Placed(Y) = False 'Loop until it's not same number<br />
                    Placed(Y) = True<br />
                    MyTB(X).Text = WAnswer(Y) ' Place randomly selected wrong answer in text box <br />
                Next<br />
<br />
                'now randomize one correct answer<br />

SQL statements are weird in .NET. You have to request insert commands from the adapter and it becomes a hassle. Here is a working example of what you need to do to create a new row in SQL:

<br />
        Dim strTopic As String = InputBox("Enter a topic")<br />
        Dim sql As String = "SELECT ID, CourseID, Topic FROM tblTopics WHERE ID = 0"<br />
        Dim da As New OleDbDataAdapter(sql, cn)<br />
        Dim ds As New DataSet<br />
        da.Fill(ds)<br />
        Dim cmdbuilder As New OleDbCommandBuilder(da)<br />
        da.InsertCommand = cmdbuilder.GetInsertCommand<br />
        Dim dr As DataRow = ds.Tables(0).NewRow<br />
        dr("CourseID") = Me.lngCourseID(Me.cboCourse.SelectedIndex)<br />
        dr("Topic") = strTopic<br />
        ds.Tables(0).Rows.Add(dr)<br />
        da.Update(ds)<br />
        cn.Close()<br />

You need a bit more code in there...

   Private Sub Combo7_Change(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Combo7.SelectedIndexChanged
// do some task here
   End Sub

That should work

If you are using visual studio, this code should can be put in automatically if you use the properties box.

system date format

5-Apr-08 3:25

I have developed a program with too many date fields. I have used datetimepicker for this with formating dd/MM/yyyy.

This will create problem if any user have system date format in m/d/yyyy

So I want that when my program start it will detect system date format and if format is in m/d/yyyy then it converts into mm/DD/yyyy and at the time of closing my program it converts into it's original format.

If any one have any code in support of this problem, please send me immediatly.

Thanks

Pathak

If any user have date format in dd/MM/yyyy then I save 08/04/2008, it saved same and displayed in same format.

but if he changed his format in m/d/yyyy and i give 08/04/2008 then when we retrive date it shows lik 04/08/2008.

And if use format here then it creates problem with dd/MM/yyyy format.

The format is just change the display. The .Value is still a DateTime type.

Unless you use ToString() and not the DateTime value, then you got to look at how you save and retrieve the value.
