Base Class Libraries
System
System.CodeDom

Developers can now step through the code in Debug mode. However the code is for viewing purposes only and cannot be changed.

Sam: Thanks for posting this. However, as Anita pointed out last evening in the SIG meeting, the link for the download on Shawn's page appears to not work. I looked into it this morning, and think I have identified the problems. It seems that the https:/connect.microsoft.com site (that is hosting the download) uses SSL 2.0, and default setup for IE7 does not allow that version (only allows SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0). You can change this by going into IE, Tools menu, Options, Advanced tab, scroll down to Security section, and make sure "Use SSL 2.0", "Use SSL 3.0", and "Use TLS 1.0" are all selected. Click OK, and refresh your page and it should work.

Working with double quotes (") in VB.Net

String manipulation in VB2005 is fairly simple. However, things can get a little tricky with the double quote character. How do you look for it in a string? How can you insert into a string? How do you remove it from a string? These are questions that may lead to confusion if you don't know what you're looking for. Ironically enough, in VB the double quote can also be used as an escape character when searching for it in a string. For example: Dim strTest As String strTest = """123""" 'Displays "123" (double quotes appear in the final result) strTest = """""123""" 'Displays ""123" (double quotes appear in the final result) strTest = "test\""test" 'Displays test\"test strTest = "test""test" 'Displays test"test In cases where you want to insert a double quote character, simply reference it unicode character designation, ch

Using VB Script to display part of an IP address

Q: How can I use VB Script to display the first 3 octets in a TCP/IP address? A: Since IP addresses are not fixed length, you will have to count the number of separators before you can extract the octets. With that said, listed below is the sample VB Script code. strIP = inputbox("Enter an IP Address for testing to extract the first 3 Octets:") intLastDecimal = 1 For intCounter = 1 to 3 intLastDecimal = InStr(intLastDecimal, strIP, ".") + 1 Next iNewLength = intLastDecimal-2 strNewIP = Left(strIP, iNewLength ) MsgBox "strNewIP=" & strNewIP To run this code, simply copy and paste it into a flat file and name it with a .VBS extension.
