I find myself wanting to do something like this:
' toy example
dim foo() as Integer = { _
'Integers from 1 to 5[code]....
but I get "Expression expected" errors.I would have expected the compiler to treat comment lines as nulls. Is there a "right" way to do this?
Is there a way to add comments to an array initialization? For example:
Dim test As UShort() = { _
1, _
2, _
3, _
4 _
}
I'd like to add a comment on each line, but the obvious syntaxes fail (for obvious reasons)
1, 'test _
1 'test, _
So, am I out of luck?
I am trying to convet the following code from C# to Vb using 3.5 framework.Here is the code in C# that I am having trouble with.MethodInfo mi = typeof(Page).GetMethod("LoadControl", new Type[2] { typeof(Type), typeof(object[]) });
I thought it would be like this in VB;Dim mi As MethodInfo = GetType(Page).GetMethod("LoadControl", New Type(2) {GetType(Type), GetType(Object())})
but I am getting the following error "array initializer is missing 1 elements"The other line that I am having trouble with and getting the same error is control = (Control) mi.Invoke(this.Page, new object[2] { ucType, null });

I've noticed that in C# XML comments and code comments can have different colors by changing the settings in Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors > Display Items:
- Comment: controls code comments XML comment: controls XML comments
This works well in C# <summary>This XML comment is green</summary>

Within the button code (Default.aspx.vb), there is an 'object initializer' error message. What is the cause of this error?
Go to the following URL link, download the 'High Res' Visual Studio snapshots at: [url]
The button code is written in VB code, and reads as follows:
CODE:
Exception Message happens when my splash screen shows: The type initializer for 'App_Name.GlobalThings' threw an exception GlobalThings is not a class, but just a module name (Module Globalthings). I get the error above at run time (.exe) but not during debug.Because I am brand new not only to visual studio and to visual basic, but also to programming, I have no how to figure out what is actually throwing this error since it occurs only at run time.

View 1 RepliesFor adding some images to a WrapPanel, I'm trying to iterate through a collection. My TileCollection contains instances of a Tile class which has a ImageSource property. I've got it by doing all the stuff step by step - Create a new image 1, assign all the properties, create a bew binding 1, assign binding 1 to image 1, add image 1 to the panel, proceed with image 2, ... tons of code I want to shorten now. Here is what I've got so far:
For Each tile As Tile In TileCollection
MainPanel.Children.Add(New Image With {.Width = 80, .Height = 80, .Margin = New Thickness(10), .SetBinding = New Binding With {.Source = tile, Path = New PropertyPath("ImageSource"), .Mode = BindingMode.Default, .UpdateSourceTrigger = UpdateSourceTrigger.PropertyChanged)}})
Next
1) ."SetBinding" doesn't work in object initializer expression. Is there any workaround?
2) Is there any way to add a handler in object initializer expression, for e.g. capturing mousedown events?

I've been writing an application, and all has been going smoothly; I tried to debug my application, after many previous debugging sessions and from nowhere, I received an error. I've not changed the module in which the error is coming from, but I can't narrow the error down either.
Here's the error: The type initializer for 'HG520b.MHProgramming' threw an exception.
This occurs any time I attempt to debug my application and linked to a function, property or enum which resides in my module.I don't know where to start looking for this error seen as it's all random...

View 4 RepliesI have been using the method summary XML Comments at the top of my procedures lately and am wondering if there are any logical or good practices related to this.I never put anything in the remarks because I put the description of the method in the summary tag. What belongs in the summary and what belongs in remarks?I seldom put anything in the returns tag because it seems like it would be redundant as I usually explain what is being returned in the summary. Should I simply keep the type of object returned in the returns tag?

View 1 RepliesWhen I'm writing comments in my code, I often forget to add the initial space after the comment identifier.
'this is a comment
when really it is supposed to be
' this is a comment
I realize this is quite trivial, and you could simply say "just add the damn space you idiot", but I'd really like to automate this so that I just don't have to worry about it. add the comment space?note I do realize that a catch all string replace or regex replace could screw up other things ... IE:
Dim something As String = "I'm a nerd"
would actually come out
Dim something As String = "I' m a nerd"
if it's only on a line by it's self and is not followed by a second single quote... IE: '' would not trigger the replacement.
