You can use ReguarExpression to validate the text. All you need is a regular expression that checks if the input contains A-F(both case) and 0-9 and nothing else. You can do this in Validating event or TextChanged event.
The word "politics" describes the process so well: "Poli" in Latin meaning "many" and "tics" meaning "bloodsucking creatures."

Thanks for pointing out. Corrected. 
I had mixed octal and hexadecimal.

hii!..look at this one.
Function StringToHex(ByVal text As String) As String
Dim hex As String
For i As Integer = 0 To text.Length - 1
hex &= Asc(text.Substring(i, 1)).ToString("x").ToUpper
Next
Return hex
End Function
null referrence exception occured..why?..
plss help me..
|
|
|
|
|
The only reason that would happen is if you send a null reference (Nothing in VB) to the method.
You are not initialising the hex variable to a string, so it's Nothing from the start, but eventhough that is not recommended (you get a compiler warning about it), it doesn't cause an exception.
Alos, you should use a StringBuilder to build a string. Using the &= operator in a loop scales very badly.

Can I make my combobox object only for read
|
|
|
|
|
What do yo mean by readonly? Is the user still able to open the list in combo but not able to select from that list?
|
|
|
|
|
I mean that don't write the text area in combobox but I understand how make that -Combobox-dropdownstyle make dropdownlist thanks
|
|
|
|
|
Yes exactly, that style is used to prevent the user to write to the text area.

Who of you VB.NET programmer is using linq and if you are could you share some things that you are using it for in the "real world".

Thanks for the reply, I know this may sound dumb but I am still unsure of how this can help me. We write software that uses a mySQL backend with stored procedures and some dynamically generated SQL. Can you give me a instance when it would be beneficial to use linq. The application just retrieves and displays info and lets the users update that info. One things that I thought sounded close to the explanation I have had of the use of linq, is to read a dataset in memory currently we are reading the xml file each time we need a setting for the app(I know that is very slow) this is a piece of code I did not write but have been wanting to find a better solution to for a while now. Another thought is it more efficient to read a large list of data in from the database and then search through with linq of write a huge ugly SQL statement to only get the rows I am needing.

I am creating a simple web browser in vb that I will be using to access a secured site. The browser works fine, but if I click on a link within the secured site the new window that pops up asks me to log in again, instead of automatically displaying the content. What do I need to do to tell the web browser control to pass my credintials on to any new windows that open?
|
|
|
|
|
Make sure the target of the link is set correctly. Probably needs to be _self.

Hi,
I am trying to access a Windows Xbox 360 from within VB.net 2008, I can find plenty of examples using C sharp (and the controller works fine) but nothing using VB.
Could anyone please show me how to capture any reading from an Xbox 360 controller and display it in say a label. I should be able to do the rest my self.
I do not want to write games as yet, I want to control ordiary windows form applications with xbox 360 controller in addition to KB, Mouse and Joystick. So hopefully won't need XNA.
Thanks,
Steve

Exactly the same way you do it in C#. Just use an online code conversion utility to help you convert the code.

What a good suggestion, I didn't know they existed. I used-
http://www.developerfusion.com/tools/convert/csharp-to-vb/
and came up with this
Imports Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Input
'references
'goto project-add references
'add all xna from .net tab
'go to project - properties -references tag
'under imported namespace check
'Microsoft.xna
'Microsoft.XnaFramework
'Microsoft.XnaFramework.Content
'Microsoft.XnaFramework.GameServices
'useful site for code conversion C to vb

Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
End Sub
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Dim currentState As GamePadState = GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One)
If currentState.IsConnected Then
If currentState.Buttons.A = ButtonState.Pressed Then
Label2.Text = "pressed"
Else
Label2.Text = "Released"
End If
Label1.Text = currentState.ThumbSticks.Left.X.ToString()
Else
MessageBox.Show("Controller is not connected")
Timer1.Enabled = False
End If
End Sub
End Class
Hope this helps someone.

(I know you wrote this a long time ago.)
I can't get your code to work for some reason. The labels don't change when I hit buttons on the controller.

Hi,
Have you followed all instructions in green
ie.
Imports Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Input
'references
'goto project-add references
'add all xna from .net tab
'go to project - properties -references tag
'under imported namespace check
'Microsoft.xna
'Microsoft.XnaFramework
'Microsoft.XnaFramework.Content
'Microsoft.XnaFramework.GameServices
Are you getting any error ,essages?
Does it compile OK?
If all of above is ok is timer enabled, if not it won't do anything.
Steve

My timer wasn't enabled so it wasn't even running. Silly error.
Thanks for the quick response.

I am having a very strange problem. I have datagrids to view DB entries. The code I have included shows the initialization of the grid and the deletion sub. The first one works fine, so I copied the code and altered it slightly to work for a different form, but it shouldn't have made any difference. When I try to use the second one (Class TimeOff) it gives me:
An unhandled exception has occurred in your application......
....
Column 'DI' does not belong to table TimeOff.
All of the mapping names correspond correctly with the DB.
I am at wit's end!     
Am willing to send entire files if I didn't post enough. Please help:
The one that does work...

Since you are selecting from diff tables, are you sure that column exists in the table from the 2nd select?
Any suggestions, ideas, or 'constructive criticism' are always welcome.
"There's no such thing as a stupid question, only stupid people." - Mr. Garrison

Positive. I can get every column to display. The error occurs on the line near the end in the delete sub:
DataGrid1.SetDataBinding(TO_DataSet, "TableMapTimeOff")
It takes the data out of the database, and removes it from the grid, but throws the exception every time.
