Access To Object Passed ByRef In The Constructor Of A Class Through Another Part Of The Class?
Aug 18, 2009
I have some classes, BsfciFile and StudyFlashCard. Bsfci is the extension to which I save my set of flashcards in an INI format. I am currently working to transform my code from using Windows API calls to access the INI to using a IniFile class that I found on the internet. I would like the BsfciFile to have a Array of StudyFlashCard objects, but I would like the StudyFlashCard class to use the IniFile class object contained in the BsfciFile class. I can pass the IniFile from the BsfciFile class to the constructor for the StudyFlashCard class, but I want it to modify the same IniFile as the BsfciFile class has later on.

Hi
I've got a pretty general question about the best practice in passing an object reference to a Form in VB.NET. My form is a dialog and I've created an overload ShowDialog method, where I pass an Object into it ByRef.
The trouble is, I want to be able to refer to that Object throughout my dialog Class and not just in the ShowDialog method. For instance, some of my Events for controls on the form, need to reference that object.
I know I could create a local Private variable in the Class and assign it to the passed value, and then use that value. However I'm thinking this isn't very efficient because it would (I believe) create a new copy of the Object (which is a complex, large class in itself).

I have a class in vb.net defined as public class A
class A is created on Load and gets called once per program loop
The constructor for class A includes the argument (byref Value as long)
I have a global variable called varB that is passed to class A on creation.
now why when varB is altered during the program loop, the change is not reflected within the class?

How can I get the name of the object that was passed byref into a method?
Example:
Dim myobject as object
sub mymethod(byref o as object)
debug.print(o.[RealName!!!!])
end sub
[code]....
I'm using this for logging. I use one method multiple times and it would be nice to log the name of the variable that I passed to it. Since I'm passing it byref, I should be able to get this name, right?This would give you the parameter name in the method and it's type, but not the name of the variable that was passed byref.
using system.reflection
Dim mb As MethodBase = MethodInfo.GetCurrentMethod()
For Each pi As ParameterInfo In mb.GetParameters()
[code]....
If you put that in "mymethod" above you'd get "o" and "Object".

I have an abstract class which requires a delegate to function. I pass the delegate into the constructor. Now that I have a non default constructor I need to call the abstract class's constructors from the concrete class which means that I need to use MyBase.New(...). I have included a quick example below.
Public MustInherit Class BaseClass
Public Delegate Sub WorkMethod()
Private _Work As WorkMethod
[code]....
I have tried to do this but I keep getting the following error: "Implicit reference to object under construction is not valid when calling another constructor".Can I not do what I am trying to do above? I initially had the delegate setup in its own setter method. But then I am creating a deceptive API because it does require a point to a method to work properly.

I have a class in which some of the fields are also classes.
I can put values in the "normal" properties, but in the others when o try to assign values it gives the: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
But the code compiles fine.
dados_Defenicao = New ServiceReference1.draftClaimEntryDefinition
dados_Defenicao.arCode = "123"
dados_Defenicao.claimMarket.warrantyType = "w" - Here it gives the error

If we are within the derived class then ofcource we can use MyBase keyword to access base class's object reference . That's fine , how can we take that base class's object reference outside that derived class's definition.My following code will explain what i want . Actually that is giving error right now, but it is explaining my requirement .
Public Class Base
Public x As String
End Class
[code]....
Actually there is error in ReadOnly Property BaseReference's Getter . Error is "Error 1 'MyBase' must be followed by '.' and an identifier. " how can i get base class object reference in Main method ?

I want a string and a listbox, both which are in a form to be modified by an instance of a class method. Should (could I):
1. Pass the entire form to the class method as parameter.
2. Pass the listbox and the string to the method as parameters.
What's the best approach to get access and modify this string and listbox on the form.

I've now properly started implementing OO into my system (which I probably should have done from the start) but I just want to clear some best practices.So let's say I have a class called Job which contains information such as Description, Project Manager (Employee class), Value etc. at the moment, if I initialise the Job class it will initialise all the information held within it, even if I only want the job description. Is it best practice to do this or is it better to implement the class and access the database for values as and when they're needed? Or is it just better in those cases to just access the database directly?

i'm working with different classes and different constructors. It's working fine until i try to inherit a class that also has a constructor. vb asks for mybase.new but when i add that vb says that a constructor cannot call itself, when i try it in a different way vb asks the parameters of the constructor of the class that i want to inherit.

I have an abstract class in vb.net with two subclasses. In the abstract class I have a constuctor that looks like this:[code]I would like to create a second constructor that doesn't take any arguments and just initializes the args to default values.[code]When I attempt to create a new subclass using the second constructor the compiler complains that I'm missing two args to the constructor.Is there a reason I can't overload the constructor in the abstract class?

I have a custom collection class that I would like to pre-populate with data from the database. Basically it would search for "submembers" that are related to the "member" data record using the "member"'s primary key id.
I figured the best way to do this would be in the constructor of the class, but I am not so sure now. The collection class does not have any properties (the member class does).[code]...

I have a WCF Service exposing a single contract and operation:
<ServiceContract(Namespace:="ImageSystem")> _
Public Interface IUploadService
<OperationContract()> _
[Code].....
This subsequently leads to stream casting issues, because the generated function allows me to pass a memory stream as an input (which works correctly when passed through to the service), but instead of passing me back a new stream for the response, it attempts to cast the MessageBodyStream received from the service into my memory stream.
This is, in some ways similar to other posts but as you can see, there are no enums involved in my contracts - presence of Enums caused strange proxy class generation is marked as the answer in the similar post.
Is there anywhere I configure the proxy behaviour to use the contracts I've specified? Clearly I'm within a dev/test environment currently, but when this eventually goes to production it will be memory and file streams passed to the service, and the returned stream can be in any format to be honest, I intend to treat it as the abstract stream class. The only way round this I can see right now is to change my in stream to be the same as the anticipated out stream, but surely there is a better way?

I have a method with a custom attribute that lists other methods in the same class that it can call. I'm passing the called method to another class function that will read the attribute and pick one of the methods named in the attribute and return it's delegate. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do this with reflection or event if it is possible.

Intellisense does not seem to be seeing my class and I am not sure why. I am using VB.NET which I am admittedly not that familiar with as compared to C#. Perhaps I am missing something.

I'm making a class that reads a file and processes data in it, but I need some error handling. I'm giving it a constructor that takes a file location and processes that file. How can I make it so the constructor tells the program whether it found the file or not? Optimistically the program that calls this class would check for that first, but since I'm not going to be the only one that uses this class I'd like to know how to secure such a thing. It's probably bad practice to do this within the class, but I'd like to be sure it's as portable as possible.

I discovered that an event raised (directly on indirectly) in the constructor cannot be handled outside the very class. To prove if that was the actual problem, I wrote a simple exemplary app.
Class with the event:
Namespace Utils
Public Class A
Public Event Test()
Public Sub New()
CallTest()
[Code] .....
The reason of such behavior became quite obvious after writing those pieces, but maybe there is a way to omit it?

How do I force the Visual Studio compiler to generate an error when a required method is not being called in the constructor of a child class?
