Add A Structure To A Collection?
Sep 18, 2011
Recently I found that I'm not able to instantiate a structure for an array:
Dim mObjectLists() As New objectLayout
Ok, fair but It's an easy way to store a bunch of data in an array instead define a class. And after that I tried to define this:
Dim mObjectLists() As Collection
And add structures to the collection. But it says you should instantiate the reference object first. I searched about creating own Collection based on the base collection class but I think It's wasting time to write a code with class inheritance instead the first sample.

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 experiencing a problem with the following c-structure:
typedef struct tagTEXTUREPROP

DWORD dwSize;

The Marshal.SizeOf obviously calculates a size of 76 and it works with the DLL function, but it leaves me with some bad feelings.

Is it good practice to store sub-collections of item X inside a parent collection of item X for caching 'filter-queries' which are performed on the parent collection? (They won't be used together (as in color AND type).) Or is it also ok to just Loop over the collection and return the correct entities in a temporary collection?

I've got the following ADO.NET Entity Framework Entity Data Model:I want to find all the Policyholders with both a Service of a given Id and also a Keyword of a given Status.
This LINQ Does Not Work:
Dim ServicesId As Integer = ...
Dim KeywordStatus As Integer = ...
Dim FoundPolicyholders = From p As Policyholder In db.PolicyholderSet.Include("Keywords").Include("Services") _
Where p.Services.Id = ServicesId _
And p.Keywords.Status = KeywordStatus _
Select p
The Where clause cannot search the p.Services and p.Keywords EntityCollections in that way.

currently in my application I have a Global Collection that is a Collection of Collections.Currently I am trying to add items/ elements to one of the child collections of the Global Collection but I am unable to use the collections methods of the child.When I assign a variable to the child collection and return the collection it is just an object with the collection inside.
Ex:
Dim GlobalCollection as New Collection
Dim ChildCollection1 as New Collection

I've been working with a CMS called InsiteCreations 2008. I'm running into an error I just can't wrap my head around. I would even be willing to compensate anyone a small amount over paypal, for a solution. The error is rare in occurance, and appears when clicking about 3-4% of links to other pages within our CMS.The full code page is quite large, but there seems to be only one function associated with the error. The error also only appears when not logged into the CMS. If logged into the CMS, clicking the link simply displays the page as normal. I have already checked permissions on the page from the CMS admin console, and it is public.
The error message is as follows:
Server Error in '/' Application.Collection index must be in the range 1 to the size of the collection.
Description:
An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

What's the quickest way to get a total count of shelves for a store? I.e. for a store I get the total count of areas by using Areas.Count Or will I need to loop through each area and tally the count of shelves?

I have an ASP.NET app with lots of textboxes all over the page that need updating at various points through program execution.

I need to convert a VB Collection to a modern one, like Dictionary or Hashtable. For my approach, I need the Collection's KEYS. Googling tells me that it's impossible. Re-writing the entire application using new collections is not an option as the application is really old and large (converted from VB6 to VB.Net).Using the old Collection also is not good - as there are new components in development.Converting a - for example - Hashtable to Collection works:
using VBCollection = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Collection;
public static VBCollection ToVBCollection(this Hashtable table)

I have created a public structure:
Public Structure LogicalEdge
Dim sTypeEdge As String
Dim dTotalLengthOfLines As Double
Dim lstLinesInEdge As List(Of Line)
End Structure
In my code, I create a new list of this LogicalEdge:
Dim myListOfEdges As List(Of LogicalEdge) = New List(Of LogicalEdge)
After, I create a new LogicalEdgecontainer:
LogicalEdge = New LogicalEdge
I set one of it's properties:
LogicalEdge.sTypeEdge = "endcap"
Now, I add it to the list
myListOfEdges.Add(LogicalEdge)
After looping a few times, i want to set one of the other propterties for the same item in my LogicalEdge, but when i do this:
LogicalEdge.dTotalLengthOfLines = 80.77
To look at the values in the collection, I loop through myListOfEdges collection; and I see that dTotalLengthOfLines doesn't pick up the value i have assigned to it. i thought I might need to identify which item in myListOfEdges to add it to... so i tried this:
LogicalEdge = myListOfEdges.Item(i)
LogicalEdge.dTotalLengthOfLines = 80.77
But that didn't work either.

I'm sure there is an answer to this somewhere but I'm clearly using the wrong terminology in my searches, so I apologise in advance for this inevitably being a duplicate.Take the function CType. Clearly I can cast (or at least try) a given object to a given reference type. The function will not work if trying to cast to a structure, i.e.CType(myObject, Integer)
will generate a compiler error. This I'm sure most often crops up when working with generics:
[Code]...
What is the opposite? I want only reference types so that CType doesn't fail. I can't overload the T As Structure with a plain T because it considers them identical signatures, so surely there's a keyword I'm missing somewhere?

In a recent project I was working I created a structure in my class to solve a problem I was having, as a colleague was looking over my shoulder he looked derisively at the structure and said "move it into a class". I didn't have any argument for not moving it into a class other than I only need it in this class but this kind of falls down because couldn't I make it a nested class?

I have an unmanaged C++ dll that I am using in my program. I have successfully used several functions using DllImport. I have run into a problem with one function that takes a structure as input. I originally tried building a structure to pass to the function, but this was unsucessful. So i created a class to define the needed structure. When I pass this, I get no error message, but also no data is passed back to this variable. I have a C++ example of how to use this function, but I don't know how this translates to VB 2005. Here is how they call it in C++ .

I have a structure type, as below
Code:
Public Structure StrFolder
Public isActive As Boolean
Public NameFolder As String[code]....
I would like to retrieve and print each variable name within a given structure (not its value). For example:
StrFolder(0).Name should print "isActive"
StrFolder(1).Name should print "NameFolder"
StrFolder(2).Name should print "URLIDNumber"
StrFolder(3).Name should print "DateOfFolder"
etc..
I would also like to know each type of an item within a structure. For example:
StrFolder(0).Type should print "Boolean"
StrFolder(1).Type should print "String"
StrFolder(2).Type should print "Integer"
StrFolder(3).Type should print "String"
etc..
