We might think this would be easy to answer. We might be wrong.

First, we have to look at what Structured and Object Oriented mean.

Object Oriented (from WikiPedia...

And THIS is why collaborative development is so much fun! Nice catch!

It's hard to tell what code you want to move to a Function. A couple of things to consider:

If you pass objects to a method BYVAL, you are passing a COPY of the object (i.e. your integer). If you...

A few things to try. First, kill your output directories (by this, I mean locate your BIN directories and delete the DLL's and EXE's for your project, both Debug and Release). If things continue to...

OH, you can still use the old Office COM objects via Interop, but you will be running unmanaged code and will have to deal with memory leaks and other issues with some of the older Office dll's. The...

Good points, Mr. Iamthwee! The string.Split method does allow you to pass a string Array of 'match' values for your delimiters. While this is a simple problem begging for a simple solution (and yours...

Guimas provides the method IF you want to use ODBC. The original question was whether or ODBC is required. See my post two above this one - the code I provided is the sum total of what's required...

Once you have the string from your console in a variable, you can pretty much use the code I provided as written. Provide what code you've got, along with a description of the problem you face and...

Thanks for your response, SOS. Good debate, more common ground than appeared evident at first!

I guess the only thing that still bothers me is the concept that systems development is more...

Check out ListView and ListViewItem.
1. The ListView is the main container
1. ListViews contain ListViewItems. These are your rows.
2. ListViewItems contain SubItems. These are your columns.

Here's how I do this (and we all have to do this alot)


strText = "My Text To Count Words" ' (LTRIMmed and RTRIMmed)
dim aryWords() as string = strText.split(" ")

Wow. Quite a few slams and assumptions there... I know, your 2 cents. Please tolerate mine as well.

1. Hmmm. So you're in this for the love of it? Money's not an issue in your life, at least at...

Well, the Systems Engineer path may NOT be the way to go for someone dedicated to Programming. From knowledge of job posting info (and the standard job description for Systems Engineer), you don't do...

Ah, GUI coding. I'd almost say that you took a similar path to mine. I was a senior everything late in my mainframe days, so when I got to program I typically got to work on the fun stuff (for me,...

Indeed, it does. Here's where hard-won philosophy of programming comes in (I don't know your experience, but I've been at this most of my life). The most efficient answer is not always the best. ...

We don't care about the number of "",s we care about the difference between the old length (with the vowels intact) and the new length (with one of the vowels converted to ""). Example:

How about this (if your strings are relatively short):

To get a count of each vowel without 'walking the string':

HashTables. Custom made for this process, but they won't scale well (really depends on the amount of memory in the machine). They are a 1 to 1 lookup, as in the dictionary you describe.

Let's see. I'd say Forth, but that would date me. It became Prologue after awhile, and is still one of the best 4GL's ever written. 6582 Assembler was fun, too (especially on a Commodore 64, which...
