.net - Can A Generic Version Of A Derived Class Override A Base Method Using The Generic Type
Apr 13, 2012
Consider:
Public MustInherit Class Column
Public ReadOnly Property ReturnSomethingUseful() As Object
Get
'return something useful
[code]....
But this gives the following error:
Public Overrides Function ParseValue(sValue As String) As Boolean'
cannot override 'Public Overridable Function ParseValue(sValue As String) As Object'
because they differ by their return types.
I accept that you can't do this, but I'd like to be able to preserve the semantics of what I'm. trying to do, which is to have an untyped version that deals with Object, but a typed version in derived classes that knows about the specific type T.

Public Class notifierMain
Public Class Contacts
Inherits List(Of row)
Public Sub New()

When I debug this winforms application I get curType = "notifier.notifierMain+Contacts+row" I want to the Validate function to know it is in MyContacts. How do I do this?

1) VB Allows non-type template parameters2) VB supports explicit specialization 3) VB allows the type parameters to be used as the base class for the generic type4) VB allows a generic type parameter itself to to be a generic 5) VB enforces that all codes are valid for all types of parametrs

I would like to inherit from the Data.DataColumn in order to produce a DataTextColumn. That means that in the derived class, I dont want to see the non-applicable AutoIncrement property and the like - all I want to see are properties that apply to string types.[code]...

Supose a base class
Public Class airplane
Private var_num_seats As Integer
Private var_num_engines As Integer
[code]....
Obviously, I don't wish that the class Glider has the method "start_engines" neither the property "num_engines". Otherwise, other child classes may have. How can I supress these property and method in child class, not just ignoring (if I can)?

I have been using a pretty slick generic invoke method for UI updating from background threads. I forget where I copied it from (converted it to VB.NET from C#), but here it is: Public Sub InvokeControl(Of T As Control)(ByVal Control As t, ByVal Action As Action(Of t))

End Class
Class B : Inherit A
End Class

I am trying to construct a generic interface class with generic functions. My goal was to use this to implement multiple worker classes for database interaction that have the same basic functionality. Each class will deal with different object for example, category, product or supplier but unless the the functions in the interface are generic that this won't work.This is the interface code that I have but I don't know if I have done it correctly.

I am trying to create a list of a generic type in vb.net 2.0 framework.
This is the generic type definition:
Public Class GenericParamMap(Of T)
Public Sub New(ByVal pParamName As String, ByVal pPropValue As T)
mParamName = pParamName
[Code]....
The compiler does not allow a "T" in the method's parameter because it's not defined, but I'm not sure how or where to define it. I thought it was okay to have a generic method definition.

I have the following sample code in a VB.NET console application. It compiles and works, but feels like a hack. Is there a way to define EmptyChild so that it inherits from Intermediate(Of T As Class) without using the dummy EmptyClass?
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim Child1 = New RealChild()[code].....
The other way to do this would be to move the generic code out of the Base class and then create 2 Intermediate classes like this [code]...
Then RealChild would inherit from the generic Intermediate and EmptyChild would inherit from the non-generic Intermediate. My problem with that solution is that the Base class is in a separate assembly and I need to keep the code that handles the generic type in that assembly. And there is functionality in the Intermediate class that does not belong in the assembly with the Base class.

I'm a newbie to VB, and I am having difficulty understanding what the following (legacy code) class declaration actually means:
Public MustInherit Class ModelBase(Of T As {ModelBase(Of T, TIdType), New}, TIdType)
There is also a related ModelBaseCollection:
Public MustInherit Class ModelBaseCollection(Of TCollection As {ModelBaseCollection(Of TCollection, TModel, TIdType), New}, TModel As {ModelBase(Of TModel, TIdType), New}, TIdType)
Inherits Collection(Of TModel)
I have difficulty understanding the need for the ModelBaseCollection class as the ModelBase class is a generic type.

I have a bunch of classes that all contain a Shared ReadOnly Dictionary. If I want to access that Dictionary when the class is a generic type (such as when I have a wrapper function that takes T as an interface that all of these classes implement), what's the way to do it?
I want to do something like GetType(T).GetMember("Dict"), but that will return a MemberInfo type, and that cannot be cast to a Dictionary of my defined type(s). For calling functions this way, one can use a delegate + CreateDelegate + GetMethod. But there doesn't seem to be an equivalent Create*for GetMember stuff. Or am I missing something?
If I plug the GetMember call into the immediate window, and then use a subscript as if it is an array, then the debug output says I am getting a Dictionary back. But if I use that same approach in the actual function that I am trying to write, then I get an error about System.Reflection.MemberInfo cannot be converted to Dictionary(X, Y)

I'm tyring to pass a variable data type to a template class. Something like this:
frmExample = New LookupForm(Of Models.MyClass) 'Works fine
Dim SelectedType As Type = InstanceOfMyClass.GetType() 'Works fine
frmExample = New LookupForm(Of SelectedType) 'Ba-bow!
frmExample = New LookupForm(Of InstanceOfMyClass.GetType()) 'Ba-bow!
[Code].....
I'm assuming it's something to do with the template being processed at compile time but even if I'm off the mark there, it wouldn't solve my problem anyway. I can't find any relevant information on using Reflection to instance template classes either.
(How) can I create an instance of a dynamically typed repository at runtime?

We have migrated our Vb6 application to VB.NET using a third party tool. Now we are in a process of Refactoring and introducing object oriented concepts in the application.
In VB6, we were using structures in many places. As a part of introducing object oriented programming,
1. is it a good idea of changing all Structures to Classes? or Is there a concept of "Generic Structure" similar to Generic collections, Generic classes?
2. Can some one guide me any source containing guide lines or best practices for applications that are migrated to VB.NET from VB6 and implementing object oriented programmaing.

Trying to implement some sort of commit/rollback functionality in my base objects. I have it working with some help from google. However, I have a question My Base Class has a BeginEdit as shown below -
[Code]...
Now, what I'm confused about is if I create another class, Class1, that inherits the base class. I add some properties such as Name, Age, Location, etc. to Class1.When I do Class1.BeginEdit, wouldn't "Me.memberwiseclone" make a copy of Class1, then CType try to cast it from Class1 to the BaseObject class? How does that work if Class1 has additional properties like the Name, Age..blah blah? Where do those gets stored in the Base class? I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the concept...

I'm trying to create a base interface for a class of mine that uses generics. However, I cannot figure out how to declare a property of the interface when its type won't be defined until the class is initialized.
To clarify, consider List(of T), which according to msdn, implements IList (among other things). Note that IList is not the same as its generic counterpart IList(Of T). So that mean any List(of T) can be converted to IList, which simply returns an object for its items. That's what I want to do with MyClass(of T), be able to cast it as IMyClass regardless of what T is.
But when I try such as:
Interface IMyClass
Prop A as Object
Class MyClass(of T) Implements IMyClass
Prop A as T Implements IMyClass.A
I get a signature error for the last line, even though object is broader than T. What am I doing wrong, or how exactly did Microsoft manage to make List(of T) implement IList?

I'm struggling here.. I know I can disable the warning manually. However I'm not sure if this would be the right way to go about this.

PS In my example think of it as classes that populate with data from a database. The parent class would be an organization, and the derived class a location. Both populate and have similar functionality. The only difference is locations are an entity of an organization(the data record for a location constraints it to an organization) upon loading location data I also populate the organization class. This is a real example of what my project does.. so having said I just want to know how I can get around this warning, and if not would it have any consequences if I left it as-is.

i receive: "Type argument BaseObject is declared 'MustInherit' and does not satisfy the 'New' constraint for the type parameter"users would never enter data in the wrong form,files they choose to open would always exist and code would never have bugs.
