I have a class definition that I've seen other define properties that return collections of objects.
Public Property GetAllAdults() as Adults End Property I made the argument that this should be a method in the class, because it doesn't define an attribute of the class, and could not be extended with parameters. Is/Are there reasons why this should be defined as a property vs. a function?
I am currently using reflection to retrieve all properties of a class. I return a collection of PropertyInfo objects and all is working fine.
My problem is, I want to check if a property has been defined in a base class implementation and is therefore inherited in the current class.
In a global module, I define a new type that can take 4 values:
enum tAction as integer
None
Update
Insert
Delete
end enum
A use this type in many places in my code to check the value stored in a variable (if MyAction = tAction.Delete then ...)
In a separate file, I define a class. One of the properties should return a value of this type:
public class XXX
private _Action as tAction
public property ClassAction() as tAction
[Code].....
This way I could check a class property in the same manner (if MyClass.ClassAction = tAction.Insert then ...)
However I get a syntax error in the property definition: 'ClassAction' cannot expose type 'Globals.tAction' outside the project through class 'XXX'
My entire program consists in a few modules, in a single project. How can I use my tAction definition in my classes?
Is it possible to iterate through the properties and methods of a custom class, getting the details about those properties and methods in the process.[code]....

I came across a DbParameterCollection object, which should have an "Item" property inherited from IList, but IntelliSense does not show this object has the Item property.
View 2 RepliesI've created a class library and built a dll (release build). I've then referenced the DLL in another project (I've tried several). I can see the namespace and classes in Object Browser and I can declare instances of the classes but I cannot use or see any of the methods or properties! there is no IntelliSense whatsoever and calling the methods manualy results in a 'Declaration expected' error.
Within the class library solution I have a unit test project referencing the class library project which works all works fine (and all the tests pass).
Can anyone provide any pointers to what might be going wrong here? I've built plenty of dlls in the past and have had no trouble referencing them at all.[code]...
I am writing my first class-library in VB.NET. My idea is to distribute this library so others may use it in their applications.However, perhaps due to my lack of experience in writing and structuring the library and the classes therein, I noted that the methods/properties are ALL being shown in the IntelliSense of Visual Studio.
The thing is that many of them are only used within the library itself and should NOT be used by the developers (could create a disaster) when they incorporate my library in their application - only a few should be visibile i.e. the ones which are needed by the developer.Thus, my question is: is there a way to hide certain methods/properties of my library from Visual Studio's IntelliSense? Maybe something similar to REM?
EDIT: as mentioned - this is my first library and I now understand that my question could be intepreted in two ways:
1) how to hide something from IntelliSense
2) how to prevent a developer from using and calling certain methods/properties
Of course, the end-result that I want is that the developer is not able to access AT ALL certain methods/properties i.e. No. 2 above.
If we are within the derived class then ofcource we can use MyBase keyword to access base class's object reference . That's fine , how can we take that base class's object reference outside that derived class's definition.My following code will explain what i want . Actually that is giving error right now, but it is explaining my requirement .
Public Class Base
Public x As String
End Class

Actually there is error in ReadOnly Property BaseReference's Getter . Error is "Error 1 'MyBase' must be followed by '.' and an identifier. " how can i get base class object reference in Main method ?
I am not sure how clear my question is by the title, but I am trying to make Class methods instead of Instance methods in Visual Basic that way I don't have to waste memory and code creating temporary objects to execute methods that don't need instance variables.
I am not sure if you can do that in VB but I know you can in Objective-C by using either a "+" or "-" sign in front of the method declaration. And in C++ (at least I think, I can't remember) you put the static keyword or const keyword in front of the function.How would I do this in VB if it is possible? Or should I just make a separate set of functions that are not members of a class?

View 2 RepliesI'm working a business layer (separate assembly) that will contain various business entities used in multiple client applications. One of the client applications is a WCF app that will need to serialize these entities. In order to properly serialize the entities, metadata for data contracts or for XML serialization must be added, but the serialization requirements may vary across applications.
Clearly I need the metadata separated from the class definition. So how do I add metadata to my entities for each separate application?
I call upon the VB ninjas out there. Here's my situation. I need to eventually be able to pass multiple models to a view.

I somewhat understand how to do this in C#, but this project is testing my VB skillz. Here's some snippets from my linq to sql models. I need to combine these two into one model to pass to the view.

I have 3 classes that need themselves in order to do their work but if I declare them the old way it would end up being an endless loop.
As an ex C++ programmer, I know I could use include once but I don't know if there is any equivalency in vb.net Here is the picture.
I have 3 Classes : SQLConnector, ErrorHandler, LogHandler
- ErrorHandler needs SQLConnector to get some IDs from the Database.
- ErrorHandler needs the LogHandler class to prepare the Logs to be... logged.
- SQLConnector needs the ErrorHandler class in case there is errors happening.
- LogHandler needs SQLConnector to insert in the database.
- LogHandler needs ErrorHandler in case the insert is not successful (sends mail in that case)
As you can see, all three classes are needed. The reason why I can't use LogHandler and ErrorHandler as one class is that I will use that class to log transactions and changes according to some parameters. Log is in no way exclusive to ErrorHandler.how I can prevent to make an endless loop and use all three of them as I wish?

In c# asp.net mvc I can declare some public class like:

and access it from any html like:

public class Foo
public Shared ReadOnly Bar as string
