I have been working on a minecraft (game) launcher and so far everything is going good. But I want it to do something more.. like install different versions. The way the official launcher does it by reading the .json file. Here is an example of one of the json file:
{

I wanted to know how to read this (format it) properly. Example the above gets formated as:
-Djava.library.path=[]versions\1.6.4\1.6.4_TagCraftMC -cp []libraries\net\sf\jopt-simple\jopt-simple\4.5\jopt-simple-4.5.jar;[]libraries\com\paulscode\codecjorbis\20101023\codecjorbis-20101023.jar;[]libraries\com\paulscode\codecwav\20101023\codecwav-20101023.jar;[]libraries\com\paulscode\libraryjavasound\20101123\libraryjavasound-20101123.jar;[]libraries\com\paulscode\librarylwjglopenal\20100824\librarylwjglopenal-20100824.jar;[]libraries\com\paulscode\soundsystem\20120107\soundsystem-20120107.jar;[]libraries\org\lwjgl\lwjgl\lwjgl\2.9.0\lwjgl-2.9.0.jar;[]libraries\org\lwjgl\lwjgl\lwjgl_util\2.9.0\lwjgl_util-2.9.0.jar;[]libraries\argo\argo\2.25_fixed\argo-2.25_fixed.jar;[]libraries\org\bouncycastle\bcprov-jdk15on\1.47\bcprov-jdk15on-1.47.jar;[]libraries\com\google\guava\guava\14.0\guava-14.0.jar;[]libraries\org\apache\commons\commons-lang3\3.1\commons-lang3-3.1.jar;[]libraries\commons-io\commons-io\2.4\commons-io-2.4.jar;[]libraries\net\java\jinput\jinput\2.0.5\jinput-2.0.5.jar;[]libraries\net\java\jutils\jutils\1.0.0\jutils-1.0.0.jar;[]libraries\com\google\code\gson\gson\2.2.2\gson-2.2.2.jar;[]versions\1.6.4\1.6.4.jar net.minecraft.client.main.Main --username ~ --session - 0 --version 1.6.4 --gameDir| --assetsDir []assets
where ~ is username
[] and | is the %appdata% folder
I can format it manually using a notepad but this takes a lot of time and the process isn't automated. The above is an argument which needs to be passed in order to make the game run.
Any help regarding this would be appriciated

Dear sir,
I made a project in Visual basic and sql server table,i made a window form where i placed a data grid, in data grid the header and data populated from database table, but i want to change the datagrid column header (not database table column)and populate the data from table programmatically.
|
|
|
|

You change the column headers by aliasing the columns in your SQL statement
eg
SELECT Firstname as Forename, LastName as Surname FROM tblPerson

You want to use something like:
gridView.Columns("yadayadayada").HeaderText = "UseTheForce"
DisplayIndex is also worth looking at as it will allow you to re-order the columns.

dear all,
i want to read a dxf and extract entities data for polyline to be used later
i already read the dxf file but i do not have any idea how to extract the required section from it
my code was
Public Sub Dxf_Reader(ByVal file As String)
Dim tag As IO.StreamReader
Dim txtarray As String()
If infile = "" Then Exit Sub
tag = IO.File.OpenText(infile)
txtarray = tag.ReadToEnd().Split(New String(Environment.NewLine, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries))
tag.Close()
End Sub

Apologoes if this the wrong forum – could be in “Database”, or even C# - it’s a bit of a cross-over...
The scenario:
I have a database table holding records of items that are flagged according to various key terms held in another table – eg:
keywords table:
ID – integer
sKeyword – string
There are about a dozen of these, which won’t change, with ID’s from 1 to 12.
items table:
ID – integer
iKeywords – Double
(other fields)
The iKeywords number is calculated simply as the sum of 2 ^ keywords.ID for all relevant keywords. A record may be associated with multiple keywords. Thus it is easy to select records matching keywords criteria, and updating records is similarly easy.
The problem:
Give the iKeyword value of a particular item, find other items which are matched with some or all of the keywords of this record, ordered by the number of matching keywords.
The solution...?
Apart from an obvious brute-force approach, I am sure there must be an elegant algorithm (c# or vb .NET preferably) that can do it.... even better a really smart SQL statement, but that’s probably hoping for too much.
Or maybe I should be approaching the database structure differently?
|
|
|
|

Why is your iKeywords field is a double if you only have 12 keywords and they're not going to change? A 16-bit integer (smallint) would be sufficient.
The design feels wrong; the standard approach would be to have a many-to-many relationship between the keywords and the items:
Keywords: KeywordID [PK], Keyword
Items: ItemID [PK], ...
ItemKeywords: ItemID [PK, FK], KeywordID [PK, FK]
This would lead to a fairly simple solution:
SELECT
B.ItemID,
Count(1) As MatchedKeywordCount
FROM
ItemKeywords As A
INNER JOIN ItemKeywords As B
ON A.KeywordID = B.KeywordID
WHERE
A.ItemID = @ItemToMatch
And
B.ItemID != @ItemToMatch
GROUP BY
B.ItemID
ORDER BY
MatchedKeywordCount DESC
;
With your current implementation (updated to use an integer type for iKeywords), you can identify matching products using bitwise-AND[^]:
SELECT
...
FROM
Items
WHERE
(iKeywords & @KeywordsToMatch) != 0
;
Counting the number of matching keywords is slightly more complicated. For example:
WITH N0 (X) As
(
SELECT 1
UNION ALL
SELECT 1
),
N1 (X) As
(
SELECT 1
FROM N0 A CROSS JOIN N0 B
),
N2 (X) As
(
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) - 1
FROM N1 A CROSS JOIN N1 B
),
PowersOfTwo (Value) As
(
SELECT Power(2, X)
FROM N2
),
MatchingItems As
(
SELECT
I.ItemID,
I.iKeywords & @KeywordsToMatch As MatchedKeywords
FROM
Items As I
WHERE
(I.iKeywords & @KeywordsToMatch) != 0
)
SELECT
I.ItemID,
Count(1) As MatchedKeywordCount
FROM
MatchingItems As I
INNER JOIN PowersOfTwo As P
ON (I.MatchedKeywords & P.Value) != 0
GROUP BY
I.ItemID
;

Many thanks for this - should be enough to get me going!
I used a double only because when I began I wasns't sure of the exact keyword list, so played safe in case there were more. I agree the design "looks wrong" as it is clearly limited to only a relatively small number of keywords. I'll have a play with doing it right!

Sir Please tell me how to run an external exe in a frame in vb.net... it is possible...

Member 10279246 wrote: external exe in a frame in vb.net
WinForms does not have a "frame" concept. You can change the parent of a running executable to point to your Window, as you already did. SetWindowLong[^] is used to change the border. The statusbar and toolbars aren't part of that border. The borderstyles can be found on P/Invoke[^].
..and please don't repost the exact same question. People tend to ignore duplicate posts.

Which part of "don't repost" did you not understand? 
You have now posted the same question twice in this forum, and twice in QA. You haven't even had the courtesy to respond to the people who have tried to answer your previous versions of this question.

No you can't.
You can, however, open and run an external program from VB.Net.
|
|
|
|
|
Actually, you can do that. It's not very nice looking and you don't have control over the application window nor with the application itself. The user can do whatever they want with application, including putting it back to windowed mode and moving it around inside your parent window, even to the point where they can't see the window any more.

Kindly don't repost - I saw the same question in Q&A.
You won't be able to remove the border of the external exe unless you have their source code and can pass a parameter that suggests you are launching this program from another location.

i have made a table
plotno int Not Null
plotsize varchar(10) Allow Null
block varchar(5) Allow Null
sqyards numeric(5, 0) Allow Null
rate numeric(18, 0) Allow Null
plot_total_rate numeric(18, 0) Allow Null
Book_amt numeric(18, 0) Allow Null
date datetime Allow Null
referance varchar(50) Allow Null
status varchar(15) Allow Null
,i made a form plotmaster in visual basic related to the respected table field, the referance feild has combo box property where the refarance name will automatically add from agent master, which occcurs already successfully at the time of form load of plot master.i used a goup box where three radio button appear, 1-booked,2-hold,3-fresh, when user click on the respected radio button the same radiobutton text like(booked, hod, refresh) will store in status field.

It's not urgent. We're volunteers, and reply in our own spare time. I can even choose not to reply.
You should assign the connection cnn to the Connection property of the SqlCommand. As is, it doesn't know on which connection to execute your nonquery.

I am having trouble getting InstallShield to install to use with Visual Studio / Visual Basic 2012.
I have downloaded InstallShield 2012 Spring LimitedEdition. The installation completed without errors. When I try start InstallShield, I get a warning dialog that states: Invalid License data. Reinstall is required.
I have reinstalled twice, but I always get the same warning. There was NEVER any opportunity to enter the serial number that Flexera Software provided.
I posted a similar query of the Flexera InstallShield forum. I also sent an email to Flexera support. Sadly, over a week and there has no response from either.
Does anyone here have any suggestions what I might try next?
