I am currently learning VB.net but for a project I need to create and array and pass it using a property. The data to be passed will be a train's destination, the time its due and the expected time of the train. I was wondering if someone could simplly explain how to first produce an array and then show how to pass it to a custom control
View 1 RepliesI`m looking for a way to parse a parameter name like linq does.I want to filter before i download the date from the database.With LINQ the data is already red into a dataset. I only want to select data from the database witch i need. how i can send a property name to a function without using the property name as string and without to use to mutch code inside the function and without creating an instance of the object, etc.

I would like to format output to a property of a custom control I have made.For instance I have a literal control in my control and when populated I want to check if it is longer than 30 characters long, if so, then go to the next space (as to not cut the word off) after the 30th character and place a <br /> tag in to place the next 30 characters on the next line.So if there were 100 characters in a string, there would be 3 line breaks in the label.I have the looping worked out to get the label populated but cannot get how to dymaically create the array based on the string lenth property and index of method.

how to create my own custom property that is an object but that allows a string to be passed in to the property grid to configure it.For example, with a font type property you can type "Microsoft Sans Serif, 18pt" into the property grid and it will create the appropriate font structure and fill it.

I am writing an OPC Client in VB.NET (2008) and I am using an OPC wrapper from Graybox. I am having some problems with the data types. I have an Array of String that contains all of the OPC Items that I wish to read from the OPC Server. When I attempt to use the Array of String, Option Strict causes the following compile error message:Error 5 Option Strict On disallows narrowing from type 'System.Array' to type '1-dimensional array of String' in copying the value of 'ByRef' parameter 'ItemIDs' back to the matching argument. How do I pass the Item ID's (all strings) in an array?

View 5 RepliesThis is a theoretical question, I've already got a solution to my problem that took me down a different path, but I think the question is still potentially interesting.Can I pass object properties as delegates in the same way I can with methods? For instance:
Let's say I've got a data reader loaded up with data, and each field's value needs to be passed into properties of differing types having been checked for DBNull. If attempting to get a single field, I might write something like:
if(!rdr["field1"].Equals(DBNull.Value)) myClass.Property1 = rdr["field1"];
But if I've got say 100 fields, that becomes unwieldy very quickly. There's a couple of ways that a call to do this might look nice:
myClass.Property = GetDefaultOrValue<string>(rdr["field1"]); //Which incidentally is the route I took
Which might also look nice as an extension method:
myClass.Property = rdr["field1"].GetDefaultOrValue<string>();
Or:
SetPropertyFromDbValue<string>(myClass.Property1, rdr["field1"]); //Which is the one that I'm interested in on this theoretical level
In the second instance, the property would need to be passed as a delegate in order to set it.
I'm fairly sure this is possible, but what I want to do is have a generic method where I can pass in an object along with a Expression that will tell the method which Property to use in it's logic.Essentially what I would like to code is something like:
Dim firstNameMapper as IColumnMapper = new ColumnMapper(of Author)(Function(x) x.FirstName)
Dim someAuthorObject as new Author()
fistNameMapper.Map("Richard", someAuthorObject)
Now the mapper object would know to set the FirstName property to "Richard".Now using a Function here won't work.
I'm setting up a simple helper class to hold some data from a file I'm parsing. The names of the properties match the names of values that I expect to find in the file. I'd like to add a method called AddPropertyValue to my class so that I can assign a value to a property without explicitly calling it by name.The method would look like this:
//C#
public void AddPropertyValue(string propertyName, string propertyValue) {
//code to assign the property value based on propertyName
}
'VB.NET'

Is this possible without having to test for each individual property name against the supplied propertyName?
I'm trying to pass some values to another page and I have the values in List (Of String). However, I'm getting an error (at design-time in the IDE) saying: There is no member "X" of System.Web.UI.Page. I was able to get the Property through Intellisense. So I'm not sure why I'm getting the error.

If you pass the property of an object to a function ByRef, and the function doesn't modify the ByRef parameter, the property Set is still called.

I need want to create a array for the days of the week.
Dim DayOfWeek As Integer = Date.Today.DayOfWeek might give me 1 meaning monday, and i want it to looking in the array for the value 1 and find the one that matches.
I have a Datatable consisting of columns with Latitude and longitude I want to be able to pass through each of those values in each row into an array that can then be passed through a function which gets the distance between each row and a static. In short I am trying to get distance between one location and various others that reside in a datatable that will vary in size. Right now with this existing code I am getting 6 different locations into an array:
HTML
Public Function GetCoords() As Coord()
Dim myCoords() As Coord
myCoords(0).Lat1 = CDbl(list1_Lat.Text)
myCoords(0).Lon1 = CDbl(List1_Lon.Text)
[Code] .....
If I am on the right track I think I need to create a new array that will accept Lat and Lon from each row in my Datatable? My end goal is to be able to find properties within a certain distance of a property. In other words "return all properties that are within .25 miles of 12 Maple Street". I thought if I had Lat and Lon of a certain property there would be a formula that would give me the max and min Lat and Lon to be within a .25 mile radius. I have searched for how to get a radius, but didnt come up with anything I could comprehend. So instead I thought I would just get each properties (row) return the distance in a new column then loop through the table to return properties within the desired distance .25 miles etc...

i read data from a textfile into a one dimensional array (string()) and refer to that later on to build a new list with just the lines i want. using chartData as New List (of String) I can load the List collection just fine. Now, I want to send the output to a table so I can bind it to a datagrid. using Split and AddRange breaks the one dimensional data up into new rows but I want this sort of thing:
"Row0 Cell0"->"Row0 Cell1 "->"Row0 Cell3";<line break>
"Row1 Cell0""Row1 Cell1"Row1 Cell3;<line break>
Note I provided for characters that can be used in a split function (-> and vbTab), which works, but the split in the List gives me a one dimensional array.
I want to set a property of an object that is an array type. If I was declaring and initialising an array of objects, I'd do this: Dim x() as SomeObject = {obj1, obj2}
I don't seems to be able to do something similar with the property, can you do this, does anyone know the correct syntax? myObj.ArrayProperty = {obj1, obj2}
I get Expression Expected Error on the first {

Explicit On
Strict On
Answer : myObj.ArrayProperty = New objType() {obj1, obj2}
When I used to play wiith VB 5.0 I was able to create an array of comand buttons on the form.

Is this possible?
