I am currently trying to write classes so that I can access certain functions from any form within my VB project.
My class is defined thus:-
Public Class testclass
Public Function showmes()
MsgBox("Hello everyone"")
Return 0
End Function
End Class
I have added the class into my form using this at the top in the form:
Imports WindowsApplication1.testclass
Obviously, WindowsApplication1 being the name of my project, testclass being within a VB file, saved with my project.
I have attempted to call the function from the form using this:
Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
showmes()
End Sub
However I am getting the error "Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference." I don't understand why there is a problem, since I have used imports to reference the class.
I was thinking about writing some VB 2005 code that would be able to open an excel file and keep it open while I do things in separate functions/subs basically just check boxes, so each check box is its own sub but HOW do I do that with out opening and closing the excel file for every check box sub, since every time I make a check box the sub comes up as private?
I need to create unit testing project for my current website. The currentw ebsite si written in VB. All unit testing examples are using interface to create mock object. My current VB class does not implment any interface. Can I add interface and implement it to my current class and functions without affecting or changing codes to any pages in my website that call the functions? For examples my current class is like:
Is there a way to call functions within a class upon instantiation of that same class? Basically, I have functions within a class, but I want to automatically call some of those functions simply when there is an instance of the class created.
Basically, I have this structure:
Dim instance as new class instance.function1 instance.function2
I have a class that has the following property that is generated by the methods in the constructor.
Public Class clsLoadTables Private _ds As New DataSet Public Property ds() As DataSet Get
[CODE]........................
My problem is that I do not want to inherit this class, but I have other classes that need to access the ds DataSet property. If at all possible I would like to not use inheritance and not load my datatable more than once in the program.
Here is my failed attempt to access the property inside another class that is not inheriting clsLoadTables:
[CODE].........................
How I can access this dataset that I want to load only once in the program from many classes without using class inheritance or a global module?
I have the following defined in my "Form1":So that I can access all my database functions anywhere in the main form (database connection is initialized via the "private sub new()" function in the DatabaseManager class.The works fine for all queries done in form1, however I have many other classes I'd like to be able to access the database from.Does anyone know how to access the initiated class in my example? Since right now it is initiated in the main form, if I try to access any functions inside any ot
This is my first major application using multiple classes. It is written in vb and I know about creating objects of the class and using that instance to call functions of the class. But how do I create an object with constructors to allow another program written in C# to access my classes and functions and accept things from the program.
I currently have a VB.NET class named "Customers" and it's been steadily growing in size and I now have a couple dozen functions in it. Is there a way of maintaining the functions in the same class? Since they still use common private methods, but group them by similarity.[code]I guess I wasn't clear on where I wanted this grouping to occur. I want the groupings to be almost like namespaces/classes in IntelliSense when I use my Customer class.I currently use Regions but they only help when seeing the code, not when using the class.
I am new to .NET 4 and VS 2010. I am using VB 2010 and have made a class and need to know how i can access those functions in the class within another form. So there is a function say of XYZ in the class named classes.vb and need to get to it from form1.vb
if anyone knows if I can get a listing of all of the sub/functions in a class/module. Just the definitions (That is, the name, paramaters etc., but not the code).
I have large group of functions that I would like to store in basically a library and simply call the functions from the controls on my forms. Back in VB 6 I would have done this with a module, but now I have been told that a Public Class is the correct way in .NET. How should I go about doing this?
I have recently started learning VB.NET. I created a simple 3 tier windows application. The DAL project contains a class with a number of functions. In the BLL project, I've added a reference to the DAL project, but I still can't access the functions in the DAL class from the BLL. However, if I change the DAL class to a module, I can access them then. Both the DAL class and its functions are public.
This is very basic about the layout of classes, subs etc. 1. Should all my subs & functions always be inside a class? I haven't used classes too much before, mostly just a bunch of subs in a form file. Now I downloaded a sample program which I want to develop. This has all the code of the form inside "Public Class Form1": [Code] The code is an example of use of the ZedGraph library. It produce a simple window with one graph/chart. Now I want to develop this code with several tabs, a dusin different charts, file I/O and so on. I'm ok with most of the specific coding, but my question is on the general coding;
2. Should I continue my subs&functions inside this form? inside this class? inside a new class? Earlier when I've NOT been using class, I can make global variables by placing the "Dim" outside the subs. This does not seem to work within a class. 3. Should I avoid global variables all together, or how is this done without always passing arguments?
Also I will make more forms, for program options etc. 4. Should these forms be coded as classes? or just subs&functions in a form? Obviously I'm not well trained on the proper use of classes and have trouble to find this easily explained.
i am comfortable with class, namespace ,Sub ,Function ,Properties ...and so on. i studied about Custom Controls and Extension methods. There i found something new so called Attribute that are placed before classes and Functions definitions.[code...]
Is it possible for one class to access an array of values within another class as a readonly property of the second class? All of the examples and references on class properties imply that one can only retrieve one value by calling a class' property.
I am new to VB and am having a little trouble with my class assignment. Basically it is supposed to take an invoice subtotal - find the discount percent and give the real total. I cant seem to get my class to access the textbox for user input and it just keeps returning 0's. This is a homework assignment as well... im not asking for the answer just some tips because i am truly at a loss and cannot figure this out
The project requires a form that has textboxes for a students name and the amount of books they have read, and a label where the points they have earned for their reading is displayed. Also a seperate form with About information and yet another seperate form for summary information.
I'm wondering how I can go about creating something like a header file to contain some verbose functions I don't want to have to look at after I get them created. Something like in c++ like.. #include "classfunctions.h" to hide all the nasty stuff you don't want anyone to see.
I would love to implement the asp.net routing but i have a basic question.
In my Generic handler i have the following Global class
Public Class MyHandlerRouteHandler : Implements IRouteHandler Public Function GetHttpHandler(requestContext As System.Web.Routing.RequestContext) As System.Web.IHttpHandler Implements
im trying to access a richtextbox from another class and thread then the ui and i cant seem to get it working. I currently have the sub thats handling the the work inside of a public class and its a sharedsub, im going to be calling it from several different classes and threads but again i cant seem to get it working. the code looks like this. Public Class SharedSubs
[code]...
i would be calling sub using SharedSubs.Console("stringstring") when this is called from the ui thread it works fine but when its called from anyother thread or class its does nothing,ive confirmed it going thru this code but its not displaying anything in the textbox and its not thru an exception due to delegates either which i figured it would.
once a class has been persisted on an hard disk with a strem is it neccessary to load the full class to deal with one part of it or is it possible to get just the part of the class i am interested in?
I currently have two forms, and I need to share the value of a variable in one of them.
I declared the variable to be 'Public Shared', and assigned a value to it. However,
when I inspect the value it appears as 'Nothing'. Here is the snippet:
Public Class A Public Shared sVar As String = Nothing Private Sub A_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
I have created a project, and with form3, created a class for datagridview called MyDtGrd.nd when I created a form4 I used that same MyDtGrd. When I used before to publish the program no problem.But after publishing When I tried to make changes, giving error like"The variable MyDtGrd is either undeclared or was never assigned"Is there any technique to access the same class oject to use in other forms?
