[RESOLVED] COUNT func

[thrillseeker]

Hi all

I am writing (slowly) a VB.net application for my AD.

Got the AD integration working, and got the computer name parsing to a variable, but it has CN= in front of it, which I don't want. Is there any way I can ask VB.net to strip this out? I know in excel there is a count() function (if I am right?). Anything similar in vb.net?

Response muchly appreciated thanks.

Lets say your string variable is named ComputerName then you could do this:

ComputerName = ComputerName.Remove(0, 3)

and that will remove the first 3 characters from the string That is what I do in my AdTreeView control that you were looking at

chris128 - you seem to be my saviour. I'm parsing details from your control into another textbox .

thanks so much

No worries I would have thought if you were doing that you would just grab the text of the currently selected node, like so:

MyTextBox.Text = AdTreeView1.SelectedNode.Text

or maybe thats not what you are trying to do, I dunno

Will do, nah i'm trying to do something else there is a method in my madness!

It won't let me give you any more until I spread it more, I did try!

PS I've nearly finished updating that control, I'll post it in the codebank thread shortly
