In other languages, I believe it was a good practice to also define the type of variable it would be, for performance or something. I am not entirely sure with VB.NET.
i wonder if it's possible to define a variable/property of more than one type. Let's say i want a property TextWebControl that is a WebControl and also implements Web.UI.ITextControl(f.e. like a TextBox or Label). But i don't want to enforce that it is a TextBox or Label, but only one that inherits from WebControl and also implements ITextControl so that it also would work with controls added in future releases of .Net-Framework.
.Net-Framework 4.0
Edit: I have retagged the question and added VB.Net because it's my default language. Normally it's no problem for me to understand C# also, but i must admit that it's difficult to translate generic stuff to VB.Net without experiences and it's also better documentated in C# than in VB. So i would appreciate(and aceept) a working example of a VB.net generic type of ITextControl/WebControl.From Marc's answer i understand that i need a generic class. But how do i instantiate it in SomeClass? This won't compile:
Class SomeClass Public Property info As InfoControl(Of WebControl, ITextControl) End Class Public Class InfoControl(Of T As {WebControl, ITextControl}) End Class
I have no idea as to how I can define a variable as "GLOBAL" in VB Express 2008. I used VB V 3.0 and if I remember correctly the statement "Global varName as Integer" allowed me to use the variable across different forms. I've tried the statement "Public varName as Integer = 0" on Form1 but Form2 tells me the variable is not declared.
The statement (in Form1) "Form2.Label1.Text = CStr(varName)" displays the value on Form2 in Label1 but I cannot then use the value again in Form2, e.g. "Label2.Text = Label1.Text". How I can transfer a variable value from one form to another and manipulate that variable in the second form?
I have remplace the keyarr definition by my SQL query: With the code above, I can print both keyarr in a console. What should I change in the _sqlReader.Read() function in order to get keyarr definition like the first code. I would like that keyarr could be interpreted by the rest of my code.
Im trying to grasp session varibles, i understand what they are etc but i would like to know how to define a type for each session variable.Iv written it like this
Session("Title") = txtTitleContent.Text
How can i tell it what type of value is going to be in it, because at the moment im only playing about with strings, but what if i have an integer and want to pass it back to the back end to save it will throw an error saying "conversion from string to integer is not valid" should i use Cint to deal with this?
Is it possible to define a datagrid and chart name as variable? I'm planning to put the result into the predefined datagridview inside FOR and NEXT loop. I've been trying but getting different sorts of errors..
The company I work for has an application where various users can log in and add their own "clients". Currently, via sql mail a confirmation email goes out to the client who has been added but the "From" value is generic i.e.Admin@CompanyA.com. What we need is a way for an email message to be sent to the new client but have the "From" email be that of the user adding the new client. When a user registers to use our system they supply basic info including their email, so when they log in and then add a client we would like to have an email sent to that client but have the "From" address be that of the logged in user instead of the generic one from our company. The email would have to be sent from our company's server but we want the sendee to be able to directly "reply" to the sender's email.
I am getting the error:"Range variable 'sender' hides a variable in an enclosing block or a range variable previously defined in the query expression."for this
Imports System.Data.SqlClient Imports System.Linq Public Class Form1
[code]....
I can select any other item from the table without the error. "sender" has the same properties as "receiver" in the SQL table.
I am using System.Reflection to load a type that I cannot otherwise load during design time. I need to pull all controls within a collection of this type, however, i the OfType command doesn't seem to like the reflection Syntax. here is "close to" what I got.
Dim ControlType As Type = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetAssembly( _ GetType(MyAssembly.MyControl)) _ .GetType("MyAssembly.MyUnexposedControl") Dim Matches as List(Of Control) = MyBaseControl.Controls.OfType(Of ControlType)
So that code is bogus, it doesn't work, but you get the idea of what I am trying to do. So is there a way to use reflection and get all of the controls that are of that type?
Is there any way to define a Generic in VB.NET which will accept only Singles or Doubles? I tried the following things, based on what I've found online, but none compile:
Dim target As Nullable(Of {Single, Double}) Dim target As Nullable(Of T As {Single, Double}) Dim target As Nullable(Of T {Single, Double}) Dim target As Nullable(Of Single, Double) Dim target As Nullable(Of T As Single, Double)
I want to specify that target can either be a Single? or a Double? only.

I know to define integer type sqlparameter but I do not know the decimal type sqlparameter for the precession.
I am giving a sample example.
//Code Dim sqlparameters(2) as sqlparameter sqlparameters(0)=new sqlparameter ("@RMID", SqlDbtype.integer,7) but in case of decimal I am giving like this sqlparameters(1)=new sqlparameter ("@RMID", SqlDbtype.decimal,7,2) which is wrong
I need to define Virtual IP programmatically (Perl or VB or CMD or java).I need it for temporary use, I can't use any actual IP address and I don't care if it will be accessible only from local machine.
I'm using the Hashtable class for the first time, and have a question about it:Is it possible to define a type for all it's elements? So that when you for example only put strings in it, you can retrieve them without having to cast them from objects.

I am making an interface that has a number of events defined in it. When I implement the interface in a class the events will show up. I want to force a class that implements my interface to also have to make the event handlers too. I don't care where the class raises the event, but I want them to have to define what happens once the event is raised. Is this possible and if so, how do I do it?
