[VS2005] SafeArrayTypeMismatchException - Passing Two Structures Arrays And Other Single Values
Sep 29, 2008
I have written a ActiveX DLL in VB 6 which is like -
[Code]...
When I do this everything works fine and I am able to pass value to dll. I am passing two structures arrays and other single values like int and double etc. So far so good. But when I insert this code in another application (created in same vb.net 2005) where I actually intent it to use then i get the following error -
System.Runtime.InteropServices.SafeArrayTypeMismatchException
Specified array was not of the expected type.
I am puzzled as to why is this happening. I checked basic settings and they are same. In short the code works if i create a new project and go on but does not work and gives error if I insert in an existing application's code where i wanna use. To test I created a dll without passing structure arrays and then it worked in that application.
I have a VB.net console app and I am opening a function in a dll written in fortran. I am passing 3 arrays through the function by reference. When they come back out the otherside they ahve all tunred to arrays of only one element And that element is 0.I read on the internet somewhere that when doing this kind of thing it is a good idea to only pass the first element of the array into the function.I tried changing my function declaration to accepting single elements rather than single dimensional arrays, and now the arrays are the same length before and after the function call, but they don't seem to be changing at all, so i'm not sure that this is working
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 read in the Book "Mastering Microsoft Visual Basic 2008" about "User-Defined data types".The example given is creating a Structure as follows.I wanted to check that so I wrote all the code given; I used a TextBox and a Button for this.(I didn't include the "CheckDate" here; that is in the book)
Structure CheckRecord Dim CheckNumber As Integer
[code]....
The problem is this does work.What I get is "00000". and I found out that the "Checks(4)" Array does hold any value ie: on keeping the cursor over that, it shows "CheckAmount 0.0, CheckNumber 0 , CheckPaidTo Nothing ".
I'm currently doing this project where i have to create a program that let's the administrator manage students (and their tests.) I have decided to use Random Access file in this project.because structures will need fixed lengths...i don't know how will i search through the students (a function of the program) when each student structure has a different length because of the number of tests they've done.* I have created a variable in the aStudent structure so that i can know the number of tests a student has done...but don't know how to use it.
Public Class FormAdmin Dim currentStudentName As String Dim currentStudentID As Integer = 0
I have created a structure as below. I want the structure to be an array...so I can use a call like picks(1).a or picks.a(1) = blah blah. I don't understand how to use an array of a structure..
Public Structure apicks Dim a As String Dim b As String End Structure
I would be more that happy for someone to tell me I am missing something very simple here I am writing code that - amongst other things - talks to code on other servers using the tcpclient function in .net
What I want to do is - in essense very simply. I want to define a structure which includes an array load it with data and sent it to the other end of the socket.
I want to create a relational database in VB2010 and I am attempting to accomplish this goal by creating a structure of records to be stored in a Random Access File.For each record, I want to organize each fixed-length record so that 4-integer sets of data are stored into a a multi-dimensional array.But when I try to write the code below at the module level, I get an error.
Structure PictureDat 'len= needed for Open of Random Access File [code].....
Since I want to read/write/save the data in this structure to a Random Access File with a fixed record length size, I need to exactly specify the size of the record...which is, of course, determined by the array's dimensions.If I could accomplish this strategy, then I could search this random access file for a match of search criteria consisting of 4-integers with any of the 4-integer sets of data in each record and thus find, edit, delete and search records...therby retrieve information from my database.
Is my program design inefficient? Is there a better way to handle perhaps hundreds of thousands of records? The IDE keeps telling me that I am using a deprecated method of file I/O when I use FileOpen(), FileGet(),FilePut() and should be using MyFile.I am entirely comfortable with my time-tested method of data storage that ensures the security of disk storage while exposing only one record at a time to the PC's volatile RAM, thereby not allowing all my data exposed to possible memory corruption on a PC left on for hours, which would be the case if I loaded the whole file as a monster- sized string or stream. Also, these older file access methods allows my code to run on PC's with modest amounts of memory.
I have to make this program to keep track of product description, ID, price, and quantity. I am manually coding some and the user can input products as well. I want to display the product and it's ID in a listbox and put price and quantity in seperate labels. [code] My question is how do i keep the array index numbers sorted so when i click an item in the listbox it will show the price and quantity in the labels for them?
i am currently running a program that will allow me to save all data on the form to open and edit at will. It uses a structure of 8 arrays, each with 16 values to save the information.
When i try to save the text into the array, it tells me that its a bad record length and crashes.
Here is the
Public Structure save_weekly <VBFixedString(8)> Public dates() As String <VBFixedString(30)> Public description() As String
I have the following code... in an MDI application. [code] Various lines of code which put data into the Myinstance and then save the instance into the ArrayList.I have buttons which run procedures and functions in the formchild and also in the Class1. I need it so you can jump between formchild instances, and when you do so and click a button on that form, it will run the Class1 code but using the data in the arraylist and myinstance that was set previously by the selected formchild. Then if you switch to another child it uses data from this form. Can this be done by declaring the arraylist with more dimensions and then refer to the records with the index of the selected form instance, e.g.Selected Child is index(3)
I have created an MDIparent form and a MDIchild. There is a button on the parent which makes multiple 'clones' of the child form, each time its clicked.I also want (maybe with a module) a set of variables, and array of a structure but these are available to each copy of the child, but each copy's variables, arraylist etc contain its own data?Therefore if you select child1 the variables and array will have different data to child2, child3...etc...
I could pass a User Defined Type data structure to a Fortran DLL, that contained Short Integers, Singles (real variables) and a series of Fixed Arrays, both short integers and real variables.I am upgrading my VB6 app to Visual Studio 2008 - VB, and I want to keep the same data structures as they are used in about 300,000 lines of code.I modified the Data Structure as follows below, making sure it is of Explicit Layout, since I want the position of all variables to be the same both in VS 2008 and Fortran.Two problems arise:
1) if the LayoutKind is Explicit, such as in the example below (only part of the data structue is shown, where "..." indicate part of omitted data structure members), whenever I try to run my app, I get the following exception message, which indicates that the VBFixedArray declared at Offset 154 is in conflict with some other object, unnamed by the exception handler.
Message="Could not load type 'MyApp.SomeStruct' from assembly 'MyApp, Version=1.32.3906.33480, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' because it contains an object field at offset 154 that is incorrectly aligned or overlapped by a non-object field."
2) if the LayoutKind is Sequential, the app will start, all the data preceding the VBFixedArrays is passed to the Fortran Dll without problem; everything that follows the VBFixedArray is garbled and unusable. To check this, I have made a Fortran subroutine in the Dll to which I pass both the Data Structure and a vector; in the Fortran subroutine, all the elements of the data structure are equivalenced to individual positions in the vector; upon return from the Fortran subroutine, I compare the elements of the data structure and those of the vector.
The problem here is that the Data Structure contains some 1300 names, and is used extensively in the application, as it is the way to pass elegantly a lot of data pertaining to a mathematical model with only one adress when accessing the Fortran Dll, in which the computing engine lies.
i have a main module called "main", within the module i have declared 2 other modules "Interfacing" and "Espec", within these 2 submodules they both have a structure called "coord" which is identical. The problem is that when i have defined a function in one module with "coord" as type and try to assign a value in the other module with coord type i get error message "Value of type Main.Interfacing.Coord cannot be converted to Main.Espec.Coord", so basically how could i pass that structure?
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.
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'm trying to pass an array from a 2D Array to a function that takes a 1D array, but each time I do I get the error Number of indices is less than the number of dimensions of the indexed array.. I know using a structure would solve the problem, but unfortunately the assignment is to use a 2D Array instead of a structure. I've declared the 2D array as such:
Const MAX_ARR_SIZE = 63 Public HouseholdCollection(MAX_ARR_SIZE, 2) As UInteger Const IDENTIFICATION_CODE = 0 Const MEMBER_COUNT = 1
I am trying to complete a homework and seem to get stuck at the last point of passing arrays and avriables to a sub to do the calculations to produce the desired result of sales tax but can;t seem to accomplish that so far.
Code: ChartBuffer = GetCurrentChart(ChartBuffer) The error says Conversion from type 'Integer()' to type 'Integer' is not valid.
Apparently I have some type casting issues, the problem is I'm not trying to cast any types at all. I'm trying to set one array chartbuffer equal to the array returned from GetCurrentChart.
[Code]...
In the constructor of this class I am trying to set the buffer equal to the loaded chart because if I try to write information to a buffer that isn't already initialized, and then save it, it will overwrite stuff that might already be saved in the file as 0's or something, and I don't want it to do that. To prevent this from happening I'm simply going to initialize the buffer in the constructor by setting it equal to the loaded chart. Finally after that is all done I can write new information to the buffer and save it to the file without writing a mostly empty buffer (full of zero's) to the chart that is saved with information in it already.
Public CHandles() As Long Public SHandles() As Long Public rerrors() As Long
[code]....
Generates a SafeArrayTypeMismatchException was unhandled. Specified Array was not of the expected type error.I assume it means the SHandles, rerrors, and CHandles arrays but not sure.
my issue could be found simple but I'm founding it difficults in regard of dealing with array concept in oracle and vb.netI will start by showing to you a code done in oracle side1-this script should be executed in hr schema2-create a table and call it job_testas
create table job_test as select * from jobs where 1=2
I have a single instance database app that emails out notifications. I would like to add a link in the emails that when clicked would open up the app and go to the section of the program that its supposed to go to. I implemented my own URL protocol so that links starting with my codewords get passed to my EXE. So far so good. I then parse the URL and pull the keyword and identifier out to open that section of the program. So if a user clicks a link like this:
MyApp:LoadCompany?ID=323
My application will start, it will grab the arguments (LoadCompany?ID=323), pass this to my load company routine and then load up company ID 323. Works great.
Now the issue is if the program is already open I still want the links to work but since it's a single instance app it just closes the second app. How can I add something ot the app to watch for this or receive a message from the second app? I know I will need to check status of what I'm doing and make sure things are saved, check security, etc but I can get all that done easily enough. I've found some examples online but none really did what I wanted them to.
I'm making an application in school where I have to display the values of domestic, international, and total sales of company "Conway Enterprises." Everything seems to be working except it is not displaying the totalCompany sales as a currency. I'm sure it's probably an easy fix but I've been searching the internet and re-reading my book for awhile with no results. Below is the code, as I said everything seems to be working fine aside from adding the two array values and then displaying them as currency.
Public Class Form1 Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load End Sub
Now, I just used a Memory Profiler on it (because my application is having some major leak issues or something) and apparently, this array (containing at the moment of testing 0-30 elements at one time) is using 94% of the memory currently in use by my application. Even when it is empty it takes up huge amounts of memory.
My only assumption is that even empty arrays take up space! This puts a major blow into my plans!
My Question:
Is there any alternative to this that allows me to still have the same abilities to map i.g. I've been using it like this:
Dim cGE as GridElement = gridList(3, 5, 7)
but doesn't hog up so much memory for things that aren't using memory?
