I am constantly receiving back objects and it would be very useful be able to print out all of their properties. Is there a way in VB to get all the properties of an object and print them out (to console)?
View 3 RepliesI am declaring an IList:
Dim OrigVendors as IList
OrigVendors = new List( of IVendors)
I populate the OrigVendors variable and what I want to do is find all the objects that have the ID I am looking for. Then I need to update a property on that object for only the ones found. Is this do able with an IList or do I need to use some other type of collection? I am using VB.net.
I am somewhat new to object oriented programming and am attempting to flatten a Linq object hierarchy by using a shim class.how to initalize a derived class with property values from a base class?I have two objects, a base object with about 100 properties, and a derived object which inherits from the base object and adds a few additional properties beyond those of the base object. My simple constructor creates the derived object, but I am looking for a way to initialize the derived object properties with values from the base object.Right now I am using reflection to iterate over the properties individually and I suspect there may be a better way. The following example shows my shim class constructor for the derived class, and two properties:
newProperty1 - a new string property of the derived class
flattenedProperty2 - a new string property of the derived class, copied from a 2nd-level object of the base class
Code example:
Public Class derivedObj
Inherits baseObj
Private _newProperty1 As String[code].......
Is this the correct constructor approach to flatten the object hierarchy using a shim class? My second question relates to initialization of properties in the derived class. The constructor above creates the derived object, but what is the best way to initialize the derived object properties with values from the base object? The following code uses reflection to iterate over the properties individually, but I suspect there may be a better way.
Code example:
' property names are in the string array fieldNames
'baseObjQuery is an ienumerable of baseObj
'derivedObjList is a list of derivedObj[code].....
Is there a simple way to initialize values for the properties in the derived object based upon the values of the common properties in the base object?
I want to build a MVC helper function for which I pass a Entity Framework object and have it build a select. Generally speaking I tried something like this:
Public Function RenderSelect(ByVal helper As HtmlHelper, ByVal sSelectName As String, ByVal aItmes As Array, Optional ByVal sTitleKeyName As String = "name", Optional ByVal sValueKeyName As String = "id") As String
' open select
[Code].....
However, it isn't working. It would be great to have a way to do this and pass the current entity object.

I'm wanting to dynamically create some controls relative to controls already placed on the forum at design stage, how do I find the locations of the controls that are already placed?For example, I have a label called lblDateTime, its location is (13, 167) and its size is (65, 13).In my code, I want to place a new label below this label.I've tried to set the location and size properties of the new label using the location and size properties of lblDateTime.Size works, no problem, but the location of lblDateTime always returns as 0,0.[code]I want to set lblMessage DateTime. Location to (13, 180), but I'm actually setting it to (0, 13)What confuses me most is that Me.lblDateTime.Size is returning the correct values, so it's not like my code isn't finding the control.

How do you create a class as an object. In VB.NET 2008 please. C# is ok.
I have a form that has 100 text boxes with 100 coinciding labels. I want them hidden until another function populates the text boxes with data gathered elsewhere. The data could be between 1 and 100.
I would like one loop where I can assign the data to the correct text box, set it visible and set the label visible. I can not figure out how to do this in VB, or know if it is even possible.
Here is an example of what I would like to do
Dim i As Long = 1
Dim textbox As String = "textbox"
[code]....
I would also like to do this to hide all the items on the form in the on load event.
I'm a C# coder, and I have trouble even reading VB.NET, so please forgive what may turn out to be an incredibly dumb question. But I have some code which looks like this:
CODE:
So, ignoring the fact that the syntax is probably wrong - how does VB.NET get the Name property from sourceObject? Inspecting it at run-time reveals that sourceObject is of a type that supports a property called Name with a getter, but what does VB.NET do in this case? Is there some extra code that is being generated by the compiler to somehow cast this automagically at run-time?

To clear up any confusion, either VB or C# will do. Also this will probably lead to me asking the question of (What about using a "Where" clause).

View 6 RepliesI am creating some reports using object datasources.in my software the user can create a list of products specifying a code, the product name, the price and the vat rate (this last two attributes will be used as suggestions when the user will place the product inside an order).When a user creates an order he can place products within it by specifying for each product the quantity and he can also override the suggested price and the vat rate.So basically i have two models to represent the products:
ProductModel (used to define product name, product code and the default suggestion for price and vat rate)OrderProductModel (used to place products within an order, specify the quantity and override the default product suggestion for price and vat number)
ProductModel:
id

name

What I want to achieve is to Bind just some of the properties of a Control to a DataTable object.Let's say I have a Label on the Form : "MyLabel1".MyLabel is a Class that inherits from Label and adds a property "ID", an Integer, to the base class.
