I was contacted the other day asking to hand over a code snippet that trimmed a label if it was too long, making it display "...". So, I crafted a method that would do so!

Hi Guys,
i am new here to learn, learn and learn....

I am trying to make an app that will search multiple files for one string. I am able to make it search an individual file with the following code:

Dim numberinfile As String = IO.File.ReadAllText("C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Downloads\example.txt")
Dim target_string As String = TextBox1.Text

If numberinfile.IndexOf(target_string) <> -1 Then
MsgBox(TextBox1.Text & " was found ")

Else
MsgBox(TextBox1.Text & " was NOT found ")


End If

I just want to take out example.txt and insert an *.txt, which in python would translate into a wild card. I was told about using Directory.GetFiles to get a list of files within a directory and then loop it until all files are read in that directory. I have no idea how to do that and the person didn't really explain much other than give me that piece of information. I only know so much about VB since I took a course in high school on the basics and my college didn't bring VB up in any courses. If there is any additional resources I could use for VB knowledge feel free to post them here. Thanks

I don't really know what is it called, but I think its called syntax highlighting. For example if you type "if" it will become blue while the other text stays black... How to do that.

After seeing the movie "Indie Game: The Movie" I have been closely following Jonathan Blow and his work. He recently had an interview in which he takes an interesting and noteworthy perspective on fun and game design in general. It's a great talk.

Hey Guys! I just wanted to show off a cool little game that I made in Java. It can be found at:

Since I will probably seek for carrer in programming, in future, I cannot find ANYWHERE a nice explanation of published software version numbers.

There are four numbers: Major, Minor, Build, Revision.

The thing is, I don't know which one to change when I create an updated version of a software.

For example, I made my first Tic-Tac-Toe game which included only basics, but now I added 'MORE' button which extends the window and shows the information of the current game.

I don't know which number to change after that. I suppose you get it by now.

Although it might be irrelevant, but I would like to know.

By the way, examples would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, fellow programmers.

This is a feature which I will use in the software I intend to create.

This application is in its Alpha stages which means it will change dramatically in future, but in a positive way.

List of things I intend to do:
- Make RGB Color Selecting Style
- Add Save, Load and Delete Buttons.
- Add changable Hairstyle, Eyes, Eyebrows, Nose, Clothes etc.
- Make a 3D Character Model.

3D Character model will be added when I learn how to implement and work with 3D engines in Visual Basic, I guess. You will be able to rotate it.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, everybody.

I don't remember when was the last time I logged in on this website.
Like that matters, right?

If you ever tried to write a Java application, I am sure you encountered this problem.

When I tried to compare two strings, it always gave me the wrong result, so I did a bit of a research and found out that I was doing it wrong.

Here is the code snippet that I used:

i don't really know the code for the login form can anybody help?
