You should forget about converting C++ to VB.NET and look for something originally in .NET. It's a lot easier to use the excel library or ADO.NET than to hack the file format as a binary stream. ;) There are a lot of threads on reading and writing excel on the …

[QUOTE]i also knw..but i wan to c the full program ma...[/QUOTE] I think Ancient Dragon was trying to say that he won't do everything for you because it's your homework and not his. If you do some of it yourself then I think the guys here will be more willing …

For a queue just think of stuff where something goes in one end and out the other in order. For a stack just think of stuff where something goes in one end and out the same end in order.

[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_identification_number[/url] There are tons of links on google about how to decode the number. You can pick one of them and turn it into code. :)

What are you doing in the form_Load event or constructor?

[QUOTE]I need a guide to make a real exe file.[/QUOTE] Type all of your code into the visual C++ editor and then press ctrl+shift+b. That builds your project and creates an exe file in the Debug or Release folders of the project folder. You can also do it the clicky …

[QUOTE]3) I want that the Minimize button of the ControlBox in a form will do more things besides Minimizing the specific form, how can i change what this button does ?[/QUOTE] You can't change that behavior. You have to remove it completely by setting the FormBorderStyle to None and make …

Did you set the version number by going to Project/Properties/Assembly Information and typing it into the dialog? That's where My.Application.Info.Version gets it from.

All numbers are stored in binary. Do you mean generate a random number and then save the binary conversion as a string?

... Was that reply really so necessary that you had to post in a thread that's been inactive for almost four years? :confused:

The fastest way is to shift the pointer. If your array is a pointer made by malloc it's really easy. [code=c] p += 1000; [/code] Be sure to shift it back before you free the memory though, or you'll get an exception. ;) If your array is a real array …

You [I]can[/I], but it might not turn out well. I don't think malloc/realloc/free are supposed to be mixed with new/delete. If you want to realloc some memory allocated with new, you should do some kind of allocate-copy-free pattern. [code=cplusplus] template <typename T> T *MyRealloc( T*& src, int oldSize, int newSize …

I don't think you're in the right forum. It looks like you want [url=http://www.daniweb.com/forums/forum24.html]this one[/url]. And when you need help it's best to be specific about what problem you're having. Just asking for suggestions and pasting reams of code won't get you much. I'd probably be able to help you, …

C++ is case sensitive. Change it to list instead of List and if you don't do [INLINECODE]using namespace std;[/INLINECODE] you have to prefix the name with std. [code=cplusplus] #include<list> class MergeSort{ public: MergeSort(); bool sortedIsEmpty(); int sortedGetLenght(); bool sortedInsert(int); bool sortedRemove(int); int sortedRetrieve(int); int locatePosition(bool); private: std::list<int> intergerList1; }; [/code]

What do you mean by making the data structure heavier? You have to free the memory and to free the memory you have to visit every node. The only heavy thing about the clean function is that it uses recursion. That's a pre-order tree walk so you can make it …

I have a few questions? [LIST=1] [*]What version of Access? [*]Are you using OLEDB or ODBC? [*]Can you post your connection string? [/LIST] The connection string should look like this for Access 2007 with a password. [code] Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\mydb.accdb;Jet OLEDB:Database Password=password; [/code] Standard security with ODBC should look like this …

Send the text of those two text boxes as arguments to a stored procedure. The stored procedure should check if the username exists and the password matches. Something like this I guess. [code] create procedure ValidateUserLogin @UserName varchar(30) , @Password varchar(30) as begin if exists (select * from UsersTable as …

A typed dataset is a custom class generated for your project by Visual Studio that makes common jobs easier. It adds things like named properties that match column and row data in the tables. It's generated code and not a part of .NET, so you can't use typed datasets without …

Go over the string and count spaces. The number of words is one more than the number of spaces in the string if the string isn't empty. [code=cplusplus] #include <stdio.h> #include <ctype.h> int main( void ) { char string[100]; int i; int count = 0; printf( "Enter a sentence> " …

If by mail box you mean an email application like outlook, you can use the Process class from System.Diagnostics. [code=C#] System.Diagnostics.Process.Start( "outlook.exe" ); [/code]

You don't even need to read lines. Just read characters and test them because all you're doing is dropping letters into categories. [code=cplusplus] #include <cctype> #include <fstream> #include <iostream> #include <map> #include <string> using namespace std; enum {CONSONANT, VOWEL}; bool isvowel( char ch ) { static string vowels( "aeiou" ); …

A simple solution that prints the first n values in the fibonacci series up to the limit of an unsigned long. The program takes either command line arguments or interactive input for n and has code in place to make the program more flexible, like printing to a file.

Try dividing by 10 until the number as an int equals 0. [code=c] float temp = net_pay[i]; while ( (int)temp > 0 ) { temp /= 10; } printf( "Before the radix -- %f\n", (float)(int)net_pay[i] ); printf( "After the radix -- %f\n", temp ); [/code]

I don't think you can get templates like that. You'd still have to know how they work to make the controls function, and that's the biggest part of writing an UI. But tools like visual studio make designing the UI really easy...

[QUOTE]Do you ever hear about people dying due to overexposure of campfire smoke?[/QUOTE] I don't think people camp enough to die of campfire smoke like they do of cigarette smoke. ;)

You need to include stdlib.h. The error cryptically tells you that malloc wasn't declared and the compiler just assumes it's a function that returns int and casting from int to char* isn't friendly.

Here's a function for loading an excel spreadsheet using ADO.NET. It's in C#, but you should know how to convert between the two languages. :) [code=csharp] using System; using System.Data; using System.Diagnostics; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Data.OleDb; public class ExcelSpreadsheet { private List<string> _worksheets = new List<string>(); [Description( "Gets …

I think I'd make a custom control that copies a listview except instead of text items it contains user controls with all of the stuff you want in them. You probably want more than just a progress bar and doing it with user controls means you can do more and …

1) Yeah, you can tell the BinaryReader what encoding to use with the System.Text.Encoding class. [code=csharp] BinaryReader reader = new BinaryReader( stream, Encoding.BigEndianUnicode ); [/code] 2) No, but you can use the System.BitConverter class to turn an array of bytes into whatever type it supports. And it supports both single …

robgxxx, you're replying to threads that are three years old...

I use it to see who's posting to threads I started or posted to or who's making new threads.

An array of structs is just like an array of other stuff. Once you index the array you have a single struct and can use it just like normal. [code=cplusplus] #include <fstream> #include <iostream> #include <string> using namespace std; struct Location { string name; double latitude; double longitude; }; int …

This is a DataGrid and not a DataGridView, right? DataGrids are weird in that you have to make a table style to the grid and add columns to the table style to get what you want. DataGrids aren't a storage medium, they're a presentation tool so you can't store rows …

You already started a thread with the same question, and this thread is two years old...

I'd ask just enough to see if the person really knows C# and move on to more important questions. Start with simple stuff like what the main method looks like, what data types are available, and basic class functionality. :)

Is it too late to join the tournament?

I think you'd be better off trying to separate the common stuff that both apps use into a dll and then having both apps reference the dll. What exactly do you need to do this for anyway?

I've heard that it's better to learn how to use the compiler from the command prompt first, then use an IDE to be more productive. I say do whatever makes you more comfortable. :)

[QUOTE]when there are lots of music players with higher quality sound and more features[/QUOTE] Can you post some links to those lots of music players that are so much better? :) [QUOTE]So the new ipods are here which one if any do you want.[/QUOTE] I want the ipod touch, but …

Before vb.net there was vb4, vb5, and vb6 for 32 bit windows programming. vb6 is going to stop being supported by microsoft early next year, and vb.net is the successor to vb6, so you should be using vb.net unless you have a good reason to use vb6. vb.net has 3 …

I think this might work. [code=cplusplus] #include <iostream> using namespace std; class Class1 { }; class Class2 { }; // Specialize two type traits for picking class 1 and class 2. template <bool> class ClassType { }; template <> class ClassType<false> { }; // Overload createandmanipulate to use the type …

Use either Environment.NewLine or "\r\n". Environment.NewLine is more portable, but that's not a big problem with .net programs. ;)

You can only access an object if it was declared in the same scope or an enclosing scope. That's the techno babble explanation. :) What it means is that if you declare something inside a loop, you can't use it outside the loop because the body of a loop counts …

[QUOTE]Does there have to be a default constructor?[/QUOTE] Only if you use the default constructor when making objects. If you do [INLINECODE]Object obj;[/INLINECODE] then Object has to have a default constructor, but if you do [INLINECODE]Object obj( arg );[/INLINECODE] then Object only has to have a constructor that takes a …

I don't think a PhD makes you look any better than an MS to employers. It takes longer to get too. Starting salaries look for minimum requirements like a BS and x number of years for experience. In my area the starting salary is around 40k per year.
