Is there a modifier I can use on property X in class D which will cause X to be returned as B from an instance of D and A from an instance of D that is evaluated as C?
I was wondering if I can use an ArrayList inside a structure as one of the structure's properties.Or it may be better to replace the structure with a class. If so, can I use an ArrayList as a property of the class.So what I want to do is have the ArrayList as the property of the structure and be able to add items to the ArrayList and clear the ArrayList from a clear method of the structure.
I am creating labels at runtime. Inside the .tag property I have a structure. Everytime I attempt to update the structure the .tag property doesn't update.
Here is the structure:
Public Structure structChip Dim kingStatus As Boolean Dim currentTileLoc As Integer
In a list(of structure), i constantly have to modifiy the property of items using this code
Private Sub ChangeState(ByVal ww As WebWorker, _ ByVal NewState As WorkerState) Dim oWBB As WebWorker = ListWebWorkers.Find(Function(item As WebWorker) item.Browser.Name.ToLower = [code].....
But this give problem when two or more of the items call this sub procedure. in that one item may already have been removed. This code is executed in the ui thread, and has to be.so is there a better way to modify the items in list structure?
I was trying to create some shortcuts for my application and I read how to do it on MSDN
Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown If e.Control And e.KeyCode = Keys.S Then
I'm creating an application and I want to pass on a string value from one form to the other.Is there an access modifier in VB 2008 EE that would allow me to do that?Example: I have a name such as Mike in one form, in a list box, and Mike has a file attached to it with different information.I then click on a button to load another form, where the name Mike will be passed on and will be used by my program to find the file and display all the information in the file of his name.
I'm running into this problem when it comes to determining a network logged on username and i hope someone can help me out or atleast point me in the right direction.Situation:1 Windows 2003 server that is serving files through Active directory. No Dfs installed, just plain files sharing.1 or multiple clients that access the files, make modifications and creates or deletes files. For arguments sake let's say that the clients are Windows XP computer and the users are logged on to the local domain (AD).Currently available:When the client alters, creates or deletes a file i have a (VB.Net Windows Service) script that tells me that this is being done and stores a record in a database for this action being performed.Desire:I wan't to know the client's ip-address, computername or logged on username so that i can store this to. I have tried about 20 different scripts but all check the username on the server side and not the client. So now i either get back "SYSTEM" or "NTAUTHORITYSYSTEM" instead of the user's AD name.Below is the code i use to monitor the directory and or file changes.The "writeDBLog" is where i want to pass the username to write to the database.
I've recently been updating a lot of my code to comply with proper n-tier architecture and OO programming, following examples from a book.I'm starting to get problems now because I don't fully understand the access modifiers.If I run the following code I get an error at the line
Dim clientFamilyDataAccessLayer As New ClientFamilyDAO
in the BLL at the point it creates an instance of the DAL. The full error message is: "The type initializer for 'ClientFamilyDAO' threw an exception. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
How do I use these function to create a list of ClientFamily objects that I can then work with?On my UI layer I'm creating a list of objects; ClientFamilies
Dim listOfClientFamilies As List(Of ClientFamily) = ClientFamily.GetClientFamiliesByKRM(selectedEmployee.StaffNumber)
This is the function in the BLL
Public Shared Function GetClientFamiliesByKRM(ByVal krmStaffNumber As Integer) As List(Of ClientFamily) Dim clientFamilyDataAccessLayer As New ClientFamilyDAO Return clientFamilyDataAccessLayer.GetClientFamiliesByKRM(krmStaffNumber) End Function
and this is function in the DAL
Public Function GetClientFamiliesByKRM(ByVal staffNumber As Integer) As List(Of ClientFamily) Dim currentConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(_connectionString) Dim currentCommand As New SqlCommand

I'm new to VB 2008 after having spent a long time with VB6, so I apologize if this is a stupid question. But I'd really like to have this straightened out.
Let's say I have a pretty large structure that has lots of properties.
Code:
Now say that I want an internal database with about 10 instances of this structure total, describing, say, 10 different products that a store sells. When these values are loaded from a database, they remain totally static. (However, they can be different each time a program loads)
Now say that I have a class. Each instance of this class is a type of that BaseProduct structure. Meaning, each instance of the class pertains to one of the 10 types of products that the store sells. However, this class has additional properties that pertain specifically to each instance, which are not static.
Code:
Now, the problem here is... If I have 200 different transactions, each one contains an instance of BaseProduct. BaseProduct is HUGE, and is largely redundant (only 10 types possible), so I think it's a little silly to include a whole copy of it with EVERY transaction. However, the Transaction class really needs information regarding the base product it pertains to. Is there a way to, instead of declaring a New BaseProduct in the Transaction class, to simply make one of the properties of the Transaction class a pointer to a BaseProduct variable?
In VB6, I would accomplish this by making a BaseProduct(10) array, and then giving each Transaction an ID number referring to an entry in that array. But in VB 2008, using class structure, this is impossible. I can't define the BaseProduct(10) array outside of a class in a namespace, and if I define it in the actual application's form, then the class loses modularity since it relies on the application that's using it.
I am trying to communicate with an external device and i am trying to send a byte array to the external device via sockets but i am always getting a response the message size is too small so i am not sure what i have done wrong. Between the data type there should be no alignment present and all numbers are represented in little endian format. The char array is not null terminated as mentioned in the protocol specifications.
I have to send data based on a struct that embeds 2 other struct. So here's my vb.net code for the struct used to convert to byte array and the sending part.
Public Structure MESSAGETYPE_OIP_Login Dim Header() As COMMANDHEADER Dim UserName() As PSTRING
I'm having a problem that's driving me crazy; I can't understand how to convert the XML structure into a class structure (that I want to use to hydrate a XML document).
The XML document looks like this:
xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <artists xmlns:opensearch="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/" xmlns="http://www.spotify.com/ns/music/1">
Is there a way for implementers of an interface where a ReadOnly property is defined to make it a complete Read/Write Property ?
Imagine I define an interface to provide a ReadOnly Property (i.e., just a getter for a given value) :
Interface SomeInterface 'the interface only say that implementers must provide a value for reading ReadOnly Property PublicProperty As String End Interface
This means implementers must commit to providing a value. But I would like a given implementer to also allow setting that value. In my head, this would mean providing the Property's setter as part of the implementation, doing something like this :
Public Property PublicProperty As String Implements SomeInterface.PublicProperty Get Return _myProperty
I searched on the forum / Internet for the solution how a PropetryInfo object (of a Public property) can reveal if it has a Private Protected Setter ... it was all in vain .... all help I found was about how to "Set" value of a public property having a Private Setter.I would like to know if I have a PropertyInfo object of a public property, how would I know if its Setter is Non Public?
I tried, in a exception handling block, where I did a GetValue of the PropertyInfo object and then called SetValue by setting the same value back... but to my surprise it worked well and didn error out.
I'm having a few problems converting some code into VB.NET from C#. Most of the translating is done, but I am getting errors when I try to run my code, and I can't figure out what is causing them. Here is the Sub I translated.
Public Sub CreateWidget() Dim blue As LCDColor blue.Red = 0 blue.Green = 0
[code]....
The error I receive on this line ("vision.Widgets.CreateWidget(wg1)") reads "In order to evaluate an indexed property, the property must be qualified and the arguments must be explicitly supplied by the user."
start with I was given a program by a friend that was created in Excel 2003 with the help of Visual Basic Editor. He said he used Visual Basic 2003, which he is not 100% sure about. Anyways he used CurLine in the program and when I try to open it in Excel 2007 and then open the Visual Basic Editor and run the program I get the following error:Run-time error '-2147418113 (8000ffff)':Could not get the CurLine property. Unexpected call to method or property access.
I have a very simple class that holds a few public properties - ID, Text, Colour, etc. and a Boolean called 'SelectedItem'. Just like the Checked property on RadioButtons, only one item can have its SelectedItem property set to True within a particular group. Note: there will be several separate groups (lists), each allowed to have only one item with SelectedItem = True.
My first thought was that I would probably just have to handle everything outside of the class, setting SelectedItem to False for every other item in a particular list when another item was selected. But that seems rather inelegant to me. So I've been trying to think of how this might be done within the class. For example: could I perhaps have a private string property called say "GroupName" - set in the New sub when adding a new instance of the class - and then use a private shared method to set every item's SelectedItem property to False, provided the item has the same GroupName as the newly selected item? I would have a go at doing this but I have no idea how to enumerate every instance of a class from within that class, or whether that's even possible. Is it? Or is there another (better) way to achieve my goal? Here is a cut-down version of what I've got so far:
Public Class ResourceItem Public ID As Integer Public Text As String[code]....
As can be seen: instead of instantiating a new ResourceItem and passing that as an argument to the manager's Add procedure, I'm simply passing the details of the new item and the procedure is creating the item from those. I don't know whether this is a good or bad idea - please advise - but I've done it because I couldn't figure out how to make the SelectedItem property only writeable by the manager, so I wanted to avoid having directly accessible objects that could have their SelectedItem property set to True without it deselecting all the other items in the same group. Of course that still leaves the possibility of setting a variable to one of the manager's list items and setting it from there, so I would still like to know how I could prevent that, if possible.
UPDATE: I didn't use the code above in the end, deciding instead to go with Cyborgx37's solution - which seems to work perfectly well for me despite the warnings about best practice. I also realised I would need to use the same class in another scenario where multiple items could be selected, so it was easy to add a Boolean property to the manager to enable that.
