The procedure below checks if a character entered into a cell of a
datagridview is contained in a string array of valid characters for this
particular cell. It seems kludgy. I am asking what the best practice would
be. I was thinking I could use an arrayList which has the "contains"
property and do this:
If not arr.Contains(s1 ) then --- don't continue
but my list of codes might be about 50 char combinations. So I was thinking
a string array. But with the string array I can only think of checking the
value using loops in the following kludge procedure
Dim s1 As String, b1 As Boolean
s1 = StrConv(dgrv1.R ows(e.RowIndex) .Cells(e.Column Index).Value.To String,
VbStrConv.Upper case)
b1 = False
If s1 <"" Then
Dim arr() As String = New String() {"C", "D", "F", "I", "N", "P", "R", "U"}
For Each str1 As String In arr
If s1.Equals(str1) Then
b1 = True
Exit For
End If
Next
If b1.Equals(False ) Then
Beep()
MessageBox.Show ("Invalid code for this cell")
dgrModSubDetail .Rows(e.RowInde x).Cells(e.Colu mnIndex).Value = ""
End If
End If
At least with this kludge I don't have 50 lines of code to load the
arraylist. What is the best practice to perform this procedure? Is there
any method like
If s1 Not In {"C", "D", "F", ...}
Thanks,

Use Regular Expressions. You can write your check using one line like:
"^[ABCDEFG]" which means not A or B or C ... Regular Expressions can check
everything from patterns, to lengths, to variations of strings. In anycase,
check the RegEx documentation for more details on the syntax.
Also, are you using the cell validating event to handle the check>

Arrays implement IList which has a Contains method, so you can call
If CType(arr, IList).Contains (s1) Then ...
You can also use the Array.IndexOf method.
If you're always checking single characters, you could store them all
in a single String and use the String.IndexOf method
Dim characters As String = "CDFINPRU"
....
If s1.Length = 1 AndAlso characters.Inde xOf(s1, 0) = 0 Then ...

Thank you very much. I knew it was something fairly simple.

Is there a way to check user input for illegal characters?
For example, a user enters something into a text box and clicks OK.
At that point I'd like to run code such as this:
illegal = Array(\, /, :, *, ?, ", <, >, |)
If Me.TextBox Contains illegal Then
MsgBox "You entered illegal characters. Please try again."
Me.TextBox = Null

Hi,
Till now I do not understand how the null character automatically added
to the end of the string and it is not an element of the string array .
All books said the null character (\0) added automatically to the end
of the string.
Let say

I need a way to search through a block of memory for a char array

something like:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
