Week 3: Chapter 3: Numbers, Variables, and Strings
3.1 Numbers
3.2 Strings
3.3 Input and Output

Lesson 1: Numbers and variables
Learning outcomes :
- be able to know how to display numbers in a listbox
- be able to know how to declare a variables

Displaying Numbers
Let n be a number or a numeric expression.
The statement:
lstBox.Items.Add(n) displays the value of n in the list box.

Example:


Code and output:
Private Sub btnCompute_Click (...)Handles btnCompute.Click
lstResults.Items.Add(5)
lstResults.Items.Add(2 * 3)
lstResults.Items.Add((2 ^ 3) 1)
End Sub

Output in list box 5
6
7






14 / 50

Declaration of variables

Numeric variables are automatically initialized to 0:
Dim varName As Double

To specify a nonzero initial value
Dim varName As Double = 50

Numeric variables can be used in numeric
expressions.
Example:
Dim balance As Double = 1000
lstBox.Items.Add(1.05 * balance)
Output: 1050

Lesson 2: Strings
Learning outcomes:
- be able to know how to declare a string.
- Be able to know string's method and properties

Strings declaration
You can declare a string variable and assign it a value at the same time.
Dim firstName As String = "Fred"

Add Method
Let str be a string literal or variable. Then,
lstBox.Items.Add(str)
displays the value of str in the list box.

Using Text Boxes for Input and Output
The contents of a text box is always a string

example
strVar = txtBox.Text

Output example
txtBox.Text = strVar

String Properties and Methods
"Visual".Length is 6.
"Visual".ToUpper is VISUAL.
"123 Hike".Length is 8.
"123 Hike".ToLower is 123 hike.
"a" & " bcd ".Trim & "efg" is abcdefg.

15 / 50

Substring Method
Let str be a string.
str.Substring(m, n) is the substring of length
n, beginning at position m in str.

Visual Basic.Substring(2, 3) is sua
Visual Basic.Substring(0, 1) is V

IndexOf Method
Let str1 and str2 be strings.
str1.IndexOf(str2)
is the position of the first occurrence of str2 in str1.
(Note: Has value -1 if str2 is not a substring of str1.)
"Visual Basic".IndexOf("is") is 1.

Task#2
Write a program that parses a name:
Private Sub btnanalyze_Click (...)Handles btnanalyze.Click
Dim fullname, firstname, lastname as string
Dim n as integer
Fullname=txtname.text
N=fullname.indexof(" ")
Firstname=fullname.substring(0,n)
Lastname=fullname.substring(n+1)

Lesson 3:Input and Output
Learning outcomes:
Be able to know how to Format Output with Zones
Reading Data from Files

Formatting Output with Zones:
Use a fixed-width font such as Courier New and divide the characters into zones with
a format string.
Dim fmtStr As String = "{0, 15}{1, 10}{2, 8}"
lstOutput.Items.Add(String.Format(fmtStr, _data0, data1, data2))



Dim fmtStr As String = "{0, 15}{1, 10}"
lstOutput.Items.Add(String.Format(fmtStr, _Name, Major))
lstOutput.Items.Add(String.Format(fmtStr, _Mohammed, MIS))
lstOutput.Items.Add(String.Format(fmtStr, _Ahmed, CIS))
16 / 50


Reading Data from Files
Sample File: PAYROLL.TXT
Mike Jones
9.35
35
John Smith
10.75
33

Steps to Use StreamReader
Execute a statement of the form
Dim readerVar As IO.StreamReader = IO.File.OpenText(filespec)

Read items of data in order, one at a time,from the file with the ReadLine method.
strVar = readerVar.ReadLine
After the desired items have been read from the file, terminate the communications link
readerVar.Close()

Example using StreamReader
Dim name As String
Dim wage, hours As Double
Dim sr As IO.StreamReader = IO.File.OpenText("PAYROLL.TXT")
name = sr.ReadLine
wage = CDbl(sr.ReadLine)
hours = CDbl(sr.ReadLine)
lstBox.Items.Add(name & ": " & wage * hours)
OUTPUT: Mike Jones: 327.25

(Opens a file for output.)
4.Place lines of data into the file with statements of the form:
sw.WriteLine(datum)
5.Close the file:
sw.Close( )
Example:
Private Sub btnCreateFile_Click(...) _Handles btnCreateFile.Click
Dim sw As IO.StreamWriter =IO.File.CreateText("PAYROLL.TXT")
sw.WriteLine("Mike Jones") 'Name
sw.WriteLine(9.35) 'Wage
sw.WriteLine(35) Hours worked
sw.WriteLine("John Smith")
sw.WriteLine(10.75)
sw.WriteLine(33)
sw.Close()
End Sub

File: PAYROLL.TXT
Mike Jones
9.35
35
John Smith
10.75
33
Adding Items to a Sequential File
1.Execute the statement
Dim sw As IO.StreamWriter = IO.File.AppendText(filespec)
where sw is a variable name and filespec identifies the file.
2.Place data into the file with the WriteLine method.
3.After all the data have been recorded into the file, close the file with the statement
sw.Close()

Week 14 & 15: Chapter 10: SQL (insert, delete and update
sql statement)

Learning outcomes:
- Write a program using insert sql statement
- Develop applications with multiple forms
- Design, create, test and debug fully functioning programs using the new Visual
Basic.Net language

Lesson 1: insert, delete sql statement

INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, column3,...)
VALUES (value1, value2, value3,...)

Delete from table name where condition


Example: form



Example: code
Public Class Form1
Dim conn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" &
Application.StartupPath & "\MEGACITIES.MDB"
Private Sub Form1_Load(By Val sender As System.Object, By Val e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
updateDataGrid()
End Sub

Private Sub btnInsert_Click(By Val sender As System.Object, By Val e As
System.EventArgs) Handles btnInsert.Click
