[VB2008] Create & Initialize Data Structures So That They Are Seen By All Forms?
Mar 11, 2010
what the results I need in a Windows Form Application.
Requirement:
(1) I need to create class objects with all various methods and properties, etc.
(2) I will create only one instance of the each class
(3) I need to be able to call the methods and properties of the created class objects (1) from any form I create.
(4) I use the class objects to store data so that separate threads can access them..
Question: how I would code this into a WFA? (I have console application code that works but need to convert it into a GUI).

I am trying to create and initialize an array of structures of a fixed size. Each struct will be populated when a button is clicked. Here is an example of my struct:
public structure buttonStruct
dim x() as Boolean
dim y() as Boolean
[code]....
In my form_load function I am declaring the array of structs and:
Dim BtnStruct(15) As ButtonStruct
BtnStruct(0).Initialize()
[code]....
Whenever a specific button is clicked, I am trying to collect data and store it in the respective struct and so for example, if button 1 is clicked then I will store the data associated with button 1 into BtnStruct(0). The position of the button is stored in a public variable called BtnNum. If I attempt to store information in the struct inside another function as follows, I receive an error
BtnStruct(BtnNum).x(pos - 1) = temp "btnstruct is not declared. it may not be inaccessible due to its protection level"

I am the author of a freeware that have been hundreds of downloads without problems... and only ONE user reports to me the error in object.Since the exception is handled, tanks to his report I can realize that the error is generated when is read this code line:
If My.Settings.Opened = True then
Now the question is: why a single PC over hundreds have problems gaining access to My.Settings?His PC has installed XP Home Edition SP3, my program is compliled for Framework2.0.

I'd like to give a homework assignment to a person learning VB.NET. I'd like it to use basic inheritance and a variety of data structures including queues, lists, arrays, or stacks in a windows forms application. I was thinking of a pizza-ordering application. This would allow them to utilize some basic inheritance and practice using .NET UI elements.

I have used VB (versions 2 - 6) through many years; however, I am crash-course training myself into the VB2008 / VB2010 world kicking a screaming. I would like suggestions as to what SQL database access method should I focus more on in my learning process without making me feel that I'm a million years behind. I know I have WinForms where I can create a datasourse and drag / drop fields or tables on a form to create a grid (not really what I'm looking for).
My trouble isn't so much designing the form but in how I access the database. Theres XML, LINQ to SQL, ADO.NET, and many other methods. Not only do I need to grasp these methods quickly but I also need to know what type of projects I should create. What I mean is...I was thinking that I would design a WinForm app; however, I see that there are WPF apps and others to chose from. This is getting deep. I know it depends on the project that I'm working on. My plans are to write an app based off of either an SQL Express 2008 or SQL Server 2008 database. This first app will be standalone for now but may later become multi-user. I know I'm far behind on my learning curve coming from VB6. I have read a bit on VB2005 / 2008 / 2010. I own
both VB2008 and VB2010. I use VB2008 at work. I know ADO.NET is still alive but by what I read online, it's a dying method and is only kept for backward compatibility. XML and LINQ to SQL and other methods are all pretty new to me.

I'm attempting to create a list of structures that contains a list of structures. I can't seem to figure out how to properly allocate the object for the inner list of structures. I expect the outer list of structures to have a couple thousand entries and the inner list of structures to be fairly small at 2 to 10. Both lists will grow over time but the number of elements within the inner list will be constant for an instance of the outer list. Meaning, if an instance of the outer list has 2000 entries each of those will have the same number of elements on the inner list, say 4 entries.
Here is a simplified code fragment. This fragment makes no attempt to create the instance of the inner list "StructBlist" since I can't figure out where to put it. Tried "New List(Of StructB)" in the declaration as well as "Alist(0).StructBlist = New List(Of StructB)" but neither works.
Public Class Form1
Structure StructA
Dim FieldA1 As Integer

I am basically trying to create some records using Structures as you can see below, however the value of Index doesnt seem to be incrementing as I am assigning it to txtCustomerId.text each time form loads, however the value of the text box remains at 1000 all the time
Code:
Public Class Form1
Dim NumberOfCustomers As Integer
Dim Index As Integer

As an ameture developer, I've never really used classes. However, I've been reading about using classes and automatic properties. I have therefore created a class which looks similar to this:
Public Class Quote
Property QuoteNum as integer
Property AccNum as String
Property Price as Decimal
End Class
The stumbling part for me comes in the way of letting form2 know which class form1 has initialized. There are in this example 3 forms to this wizard. If someone starts another wizard whilst half way through the first wizard we need to keep the variables seperate hence using the class. I think I'm along the right track, but maybe confusing myself a little.

I am currently working on a project for myself which looks through employee's information to find their availability to work. I've tried making a structure which holds the employee's information but I can't think of a good way to create different instances of it and store information in it at runtime. I'd prefer to load the information in at startup and not have to declare each employee and information. I am very new to Visual Basic 2008 but I have a good grasp of arrays from C and C++.

I'm wrangling with issues regarding how character equipment and attributes are stored within my game.My characters and equippable items have 22 different total attributes (HP, MP, ATP, DFP). A character has their base-statistics and can equip up to four items at one time.[code]Final character ATP in this case would be 88.I'm looking for a way to implement this in my code. Well, I already have this implemented but it isn't elegant. Right now, I have ClassA that stores these attributes in an array. Then, I have ClassB that takes five ClassA and will add up the values and return the final attribute.However, I need to emphasize that this isn't an elegant solution. There has to be some better way to access and manipulate these attributes, including data structures that I haven't thought of using.I should note that there are some restrictions on these attributes that I need to be put in place.E.g.,these are the baselines.For instance, the character's own HP and MP cannot be more than the baseline and cannot be less than 0, whereas the ATP and MST can be. I also currently cannot enforce these constraints without hacking what I currently have :(

New to vb.net coming from vba. I am working on a mass balance model which collects a handful of 'user' data (less than 10 records) and then applies various equations to the data and records/reports the resulting values. I think I have a pretty good handle on the basic operators for a single 'user', having pretty extensive vba knowledge. However, I am having difficulty saving the new 'user' data and creating new 'users'. I need to keep the app as simple as possible for deployment to machines with nothing more than 2.0 and I do not really need a database, just a simple method of creating multiple 'users' as objects.

There are several times in my code when I need to determine the width of some text. Under VB6 I would use the .textwidth() method pretty much any time I wished.Under VB.NET it appears that the paint event is the only place I can gain access to an initialized graphics object and from that the measurestring() method.Do I have to use a flag in the paint event when want to auto-resize my splitterbar position or is there another way?

I have a structure called 'Scheme' and in my program I want (ideally) an ArrayList of 'Schemes' (so i can add, remove schemes etc.). However, within the 'Scheme' structure, I want to have an ArrayList of 'Item''Item' is another structure. Are there any solutions out there for iterating through these arrays quite easily?
How can I easily add multiple Items to a Scheme and mutliple Schemes to my Scheme array. Code is below. When I try to add Items to a Scheme, I get the 'Object not set to a reference of an object, try the 'New' keyword', but you cannot declare 'New' keywork within a structure.

I have a List Table (lstTable) that is on the same form that I am trying to fill in with information from a public structure (ELEM_DATA). I understand nested with statements will work if it is within the same scope but how can I do this with example 2 below:
Example 1:
With me.lstTable.Items(RECORD)
.SubItems(1).text = ELEM_DATA(RECORD).name
.SubItems(2).text = ELEM_DATA(RECORD).number

I didnt know if it is possible or if it would be as simple as changing (.name) to something else.

If I have a large number of classes, each similar to the other in certain aspects (they all share a common base class, but each does things differently), and I need to create Windows forms for each to allow easy changing of their values through a GUI? Create one matching form for each object in VS' forms designer, Or Use code to create the forms dynamically at runtime.
#2 makes the most sense to me, because a lot of these objects will share very common features of the form, notably "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons. But one object might need to draw a textbox on the form while another might need to draw a combobox. Not to mention, if I want to put icons on the "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons, I'd have to do this for each copy of the form in designer, and that sounds like it could get out of hand quickly.But is drawing forms through code sane? VS' forms designer is pretty sophisticated and designed to make life easier. Am I wise to consider ignoring its functionality and diving into the trench warfare of forms design through code? Or are there examples of automating form creation based on an existing object's properties?

I need to create a collection of millions of objects, each object has 3 double and one integer fields.If I remember (after more than 20 years without using C) in C you would allocate enough memory using a struct and an array, and read all the file content in one shot.In VB I created a class with the 4 members, and this constructor:
Sub New(BR As IO.BinaryReader)
X = BR.ReadDouble
Y = BR.ReadDouble

When setting a DataSet row column to Nothing, like row.Date = Nothing, why does it initialize it to the data type minvalue? In this case a date, that gets set to 0000-01-01. The column is set to allow null etc., and if I don't set the row to anything at all, it will leave the column empty. So why does Nothing act this way?
In C# I would've set it to DbNull, I guess, but I'm a tad green on VB.NET - as you might be able to tell. :)

Basically, I want to create a timer for each row of data that will get returned by a SQL query:
SELECT * FROM Projects
I would want the timers to be called "Compteur" & ROWID. This really is necessary.I need them to have different Ticks and so that some can be enabled all at once. Basically it is for a project tracker to count the time you are working on the current project. However you could indeed work on many project at the same time.

I have programmed in VB before (vbexpress 2008) and used "formname.show()" to open and show new forms that I wished to open. I try the exact same code in vb10express(beta) and get errors! Did the code change? I cannot find any information on it if it did... or is it possibly a "betatest error" that needs to be addressed?

I'm working on something whereby I write and read alot of data to disk directly as bytes. But I can't figure out a foolproof way of delineating data structures chained in a single file. A null byte obviously wouldn't cut it, because that could occur within the data structures themselves. Theoretically, any pattern of bytes can potentially occur within a data structure. Does anyone have any ideas for a byte pattern that I could use as a flag for my streamreader? Anything reasonably short, since it's going to be pretty complex, streaming through each file twice, once byte by byte to find the flags and again to split the stream.

where I should declare my variable when using forms and the scope in my test code.
In my code below I have declared variable x in my form1 which can be printed in form2.
But when I create a structure in form1, initialize an array of the type protorec and try to assign values to cards(1).firstname etc... I get a "declartion expected" error.
Why does it work for x but not for cards(x) my array of records?
