.net - Default Value Of Nullable Integer Different In If() Function
Dec 7, 2010I am trying to understand why the two code samples behave differently. I always believed the If() function to mimic the If language feature. Or am I looking at a behavior of Nullable(Of Integer) that is causing this?
Sample #1:
If Not String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(PC.SelectedValue) Then
Dim pcFilter1 As Integer? = CInt(PC.SelectedValue)

Asp.net - LINQ - Putting Result In A Dictionary(Of String, Integer), Where The Integer Must Be 0?
Sep 19, 2011I have a LINQ2Entity problem, I want to get the value, string, from a database, so I select FProducts.Serial_number, and to end the query, I do .ToDictionary. The problem is, it tells me that it doesn't have sufficient parameters, to convert ToDictionary. So I need something like select FProducts.Serial_number, Nothing). ToDictionary. Also FProducts.Serial_number, 0).ToDictionary doesn't work.

Assigning Result Of If Operator To System.Nullable Type
Aug 30, 2011When using the If operator [URL] to assign a value to a System.Nullable object, if the result is Nothing (null), then 0 is assigned to the object. Example: 'Expected value is null (Nothing). Actual value assigned is 0. Dim x As System.Nullable(Of Integer) = If(1 = 0, 1, Nothing) If x is a nullable type, why is it being assigned the default integer type of 0. Shouldn't it receive a value of null?

View 1 RepliesSetting Nullable Integer To String Containing Nothing Yields 0
Dec 14, 2010I've been pulling my hair out over some unexpected behavior from nullable integers.If I set an Integer to Nothing, it becomes Nothing as expected. If I set an Integer? to a String that is Nothing, it becomes 0! Of course I get this whether I explicitly cast the String to Integer? or not.[code] Previously I had my code up here so without the explicit conversion to Integer? and everyone seemed to be fixated on/confused by that. There were a lot of suggestions that Option Strict On would catch this type of thing. However, this is actually a quirk of the string-to-integer conversion rules which predate nullable types, but still impact them.
View 2 RepliesAssign A Value To Nullable Integer Via A Ternary Operator / It Can't Become Null
Apr 19, 2012If you assign a value to a nullable integer via a ternary operator, it can't become null..While this question may seem like a duplicate of many, it is actually being asked for a specific reason.Take this code, for example: Dim n As Integer? = If(True, Nothing, 1) In that code, the ternary expression should be returning Nothing, but it's setting n to 0. If this were C#, I could say default(int?) and it would work perfectly. Now it looks like I am going to have to ditch the ternary and use a regular If block, but I really want to use the ternary. If Nothing were truly VB.NET's equivalent to C#'s default, how can you explain this behavior?

View 3 RepliesSetting A Variable To Accept The Result Of A Function By Calling The Function With Many Parameters
Feb 17, 2011I'm currently working with a client's VB.Net code, which was developed for them by a small development shop a few years ago and which they purchased and have been maintaining and uprgrading since. This client's primary developer is out on indefinite (likely permanent) medical leave and I'm now filling in until they bring in a full timer (as I'm a contractor here). My current task is to add some functionality to a the VB.Net code they purchased. I'm finding practices and techniques in the code that absolutely baffle me and can't make the code do what I want. I'm starting to wonder if it's me and was hoping to get some thoughts on the code I've encountered.
For example: Setting a variable to accept the result of a function by calling the function with many parameters, clearing the parameters in the function, setting them to some value, calling another function with those new values, then never using the values returned by the functions. I'll add a code snippet in the first comment since this is already getting long.
Why Does Integer.TryParse Set Result To Zero On Failure
Jul 3, 2009My understanding of the Integer.TryParse() function was that it tried to parse an integer from the passed in string and if the parse failed the result integer would remain as it did before.
I have an integer with a default value of -1 which I would like to remain at -1 if the parse fails. However the Integer.TryParse() function on failing to parse is changing this default value to zero.
Dim defaultValue As Integer = -1
Dim parseSuccess As Boolean = Integer.TryParse("", defaultValue)
Debug.Print("defaultValue {0}", defaultValue)
Debug.Print("parseSuccess {0}", parseSuccess)

Use Asc() Function To Find Result ?
Sep 22, 2011I have a problem with Asc() function as a blow picture,I will explain each step as I do.First I convert some values to ASCII code and store in value variable, then retrieve 3rd position of variable (4th line of the picture.)
and use Asc() function to find result which it show 63. (like 5th and 6th line).But I try to manually use Chr() function, the result become 2nd and 3rd line.So for the Asc("ˆ") func. result should be 63 or 136?

ASP Function That Returns Result From Stored Procedures
Apr 15, 2010I am working on a project that requires me to hop into to separate DB's. So I have figured that I need to have multiple functions inside of my VB page. The only problem I am having,is I am not to sure how to get this all accomplished. So far I have figured out the overall structure, just need to implement that structure.
Here is my idea:
The main Function would call two other functions. We can Call them Sub Function 1 and Sub Function 2. So, the main Function takes the saved sessions information for the E-mail address and dumps in into Sub Function 1. It needs to open up a new connection to the db/stored procedure and RUN the following procedure and then return the result. Here is the stored procedure and what I think is correct.
CREATE PROCEDURE WEB_User
(@EMAIL_ADDRESS varchar(80) = [EMAIL_ADDRESS])
AS SELECT MEMBER_NUMBER
FROM WEB_LOGIN
WHERE EMAIL_ADDRESS = @EMAIL_ADDRESS
So my question is, what is the function suppose to look like? how do I send the session information to the procedure? and finally, how do I return the stored procedure results and push back into the main function so it can be carried into sub function 2?
Asp.net - Function Chaining Depending On Boolean Result
Jun 7, 2010This is just an efficiency question really.. I'm interested to know if there is a more efficient or logical way that people use to handle this sort of scenario.
In my asp.net application I am running a script to generate a new project my code at the top level looks like this:
Dim ok As Boolean = True
ok = createFolderStructure()
If ok Then ok = createMDB()
[Code]....
I create a boolean and each function returns a boolean result, the next function in this chain will only run if the previous one was successful. I do this because an asp.net application will continue to run through the page life cycle unless there is an unhandled exception and I don't want my whole application to be screwed up if something in the chain goes wrong (there is a lot of copying and deleting of files etc.. in this example).

View 2 RepliesFunction Overloading Add Result Type To Parameter Signature?
Dec 7, 2009Can someone on the VB language team explain why a function result type is not part of the parameter signature?If it were then function overloads would also work for functions that only differ by the result type. In some cases, this is useful (aka cleaner code) especially when you have strongly typed data.
Other languages have this and implement it by considering the function result as an OUT parameter either as param 0 or at the end of the param list (stack) so existing type matching verification can be performed by the compiler.
In VB, the workaround is just messy and would be easily fixed by a language change. This example is overly simplified and not meant as a solid justification for the request Say you have a parse requiirement that takes a comma delimited string in the form: "31,32,33,34" or "bob,carol,ted,alice"

Passing The Result Of An Array-Valued Function From A Fortran95?
May 25, 2011I am interested in developing a multi-language program that will have a main .NET GUI but will perform calculations by calling procedures from a Fortran95 dynamic link library file. Right now I am just playing around with a very simple project in order to get the interoperability between the .NET framework and a Fortran95 (*.dll) file working correctly. So far, I've been able to pass the Fortran95 (*.dll) file an array from VB, sum all the elements of the array using an intrinsic Fortran function, and pass the scalar result back to the .NET framework with no problem. However, if I try passing Fortran the exact same array, construct the transpose of that array using another intrinsic Fortran function, and try passing the transposed array back to the .NET framework I keep throwing an exception. I am not a programming wiz, but it appears that when Fortran stores an array in memory, the .NET framework doesn't know how to read that. I am looking for some guidance on how to pass an array from the Fortran95 (*.dll) file back to the .NET framework.

.net - Function That Always Returns The Next Integer In A Sequence
Feb 10, 2012I need top create a function that gets the next integer in the sequence of 1 to 60. Each time the function is called, I need it to increment from what the last value was and return the next number as the result. It also cannot return the same integer in 2 consecutive calls. When the count gets to 60, the sequence needs to reset back to 1. I would like to function to have no parameters.
I have created a function that does this using the cache to store the last value that was returned, but I am worried that with concurrent calls to the function that it might not work as I expect and 2 calls could get the same integer.
Is cache blocking the correct method to use in this instance or is there something other method I am not thinking about?
Also, stuck using .Net 3.5 and this is a web application.
I just wrote this function based on using SyncLock. Any obvious problems with it that I don't see? I am using the Cache to save the last value that was returned.
