.net - Do Classes Serialized As Object Lose Their Type Information
Apr 2, 2012
I have a serializable Message class that has a Data As Object property that I'm using as a generic holder for information to be sent via a system that uses a combination of push technology and/or IPC to communicate with any other programs that are interested in the information. This allows the communication piece to be agnostic of the information it transmits.
I was serializing this Data As Object as a Byte[], since I was worried about how an Object being serialized and transmitted across the network would behave on the other side. However, when deserializing I get errors about being unable to find the assembly for the types stored within my Data As Object property, because I'm deserializing in the assembly that contains the Message class... not the assembly that contains the type that Data As Object originally was.I was wondering if I'd lose the type information and be unable to cast it back to the type I want at the other end. Perhaps it's not possible to pass a type as an Object via another assembly without it knowing about my type?

If I declare my object at the beggining of my page class, and instantiate it in a dropdownlist selected_index change event. Shouldn't this object be available thru out the entire page and also persist thru a postback? I lose the object in my selected date change event in my calendar.

How can I send and recieve serialized objects over a TCP connection with size and data type values in the header (within array(0) and array(1) values)?
I know how to serialize and send the object using
BinaryFormatter.Serialize
But on the receiving end I dont know the size of the obejct sent therefore I dont know when to stop reading the data stream. I also dont know how to take the recieved data and put it into an array of bytes().

I have a class like this:
<Serializable()> Public Class GOODownloadFile
Private aID As String
Private aDownloadLink As String
[code]....
Now when I create an object like this
Dim f As New GOODownloadFile("http:\download.com1.exe", "c:Down", "c:Down")
downloader.AddDownloadFile(f)
downloader.WriteInfoFile("C:1.txt")
All the values given are correctly saved in the file 1.txt But when I change the download file info afterwatds, like this:
Dim f As New GOODownloadFile("http:\download.com1.exe", "c:Down", "c:Down")
downloader.AddDownloadFile(f)
downloader.WriteInfoFile("C:1.txt")
[code]....
the new value (123456) is not saved. Hence, only the values provided BEFORE the AddDownload are saved, the rest aren't.
I've check my code 100times, and I'm sure everything is fine. I think it may be because of the send-by-value. When I change the values afterwards, the orginal object isn't used.

Basically, I need to transmit data across a network from point A to point B using a Binary Serialization System. I'm doing this to make sure that the system can't have outside listeners read the data being sent easily and to keep results secure and confidential.What is an easy way that I can encrypt, say, a generic object? Would it be easiest to serialize it to file, read the bytes in, encrypt the bytes, then store the bytes in a serialized structure and send that across the stream and reverse the process?
Private Function EncryptClass(ByVal obj As Object) As Byte()
Dim key() As Byte = {52, 15, 85, 150,
45, 12, 78, 120,

I remember seeing somewhere on the net that there are classes in .Net that will return information about your computer. I know that System.Environment returns some of this information like MachineName and some other stuff. Are there other classes that will return information such as hard drive size, free and used space, total memory, used memory?

I've got a piece of code in a project (MyProject) that contains early bound object from a referenced assembly (We'll call it CommonAssembly):
Dim myObject As CommonAssembly.MyEarlyBoundType
now I have another assembly that is dynamically loaded because it is not present in all projects:
Dim myLateBoundObject As Object = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap("Utils", "Utils.MyLateBoundType")
MyLateBoundType derives from CommonAssembly.MyEarlyBoundType, and I want to cast myObject to myLateBoundObject and then programmatically invoke the additional

I have a generic function in VB.Net. I also have two classes called A and B. Is it possible to allow the generic constraints on my function to allow the Type to be either class A or B? Class A and B do not share any base classes except for object.

I will preface this by saying Im previously an asp developer and am learning oop programming/Vb.Net
Im working on a 3 tier architecture and trying to abstract my code as much as possible since I have a very large intranet to convert. In my business layer I am defining my classes with management methods. Below is an example of one of my classes.
My question: Is there a way for me to genericaly refer to the class type and object type so that I dont have to continualy refer to the class name/type "ServiceRequest" throughout the class. For example something like:

I am wondering the best way to store an object in memory that is used in a lot of classes throughout an application. We have multiple databases, 1 per customer. We also have a master table and each row is detailed information about the databases such as database name, server IP it's located and a few config settings.
I have an application that loops through those multiple databases and runs some updates on them. The settings I mentioned above are updated each loop iteration into memory. The application then runs through series of processes that include multiple classes using this data. The data never changes during the processes, only during the loop iteration.
The variables are related to a customer, so I have them stored in a customer class. I suppose I could make all of the members shared or should I use a singleton for the customer class? I've never actually used a singleton, only read they are good in this type of situation. Are there better solutions to this type of scenario? Also, I could have plans for this application to be multithreaded later.

I am implementing IMAPI2 into my vb.net project but ran into a wall. I am getting the message Unable to cast object of type 'IMAPI2FS.FsiStreamClass' to type 'IMAPI2.IStream' when trying to start the burn. I googled around and found this is something that microsoft hasn't fixed.. which basically renders IMAPI2 useless in vb.net.
I found a post on codeproject.com by eric hadden who combined the IMAPI2.dll and IMAPI2fs.dll into an c# interop file. I also see the IBURN interop in microsoft SDK samples. I'd like to use either, but it's in c# and I'm using vb express. Does anyone know a way to get the interop into visual basic or a way around "Unable to cast object of type 'IMAPI2FS.FsiStreamClass' to type 'IMAPI2.IStream'"?

Columns 0 & 1 are filled from a DataAdapter from Access Database and three are added. I had this working, but I changed it to check for the column "Feed" so I could add several Locations. At first this worked,but I did someething in perfecting it and it now fails after filling the first row of the datagridview (dgvFdMed).I ran a check and the table LotsTab has 8 rows filled. Column 1 & 2 are strings and the database appears they are fine. The added columns have just been created with no value. My plan is to enter the values and then use the data from the grid.
