Planning on migrating from 1.1 to 2.0 framework.After doing the automatic vs 2005 migration, it did highlighted lot of lines: due to unused variables and functions with no return type..Is there a tool which can fix those unused variables plus function with no return types.
View 2 RepliesI need to remove all the unused code in my companies project. There is about 1.5 million lines of code, therefore I need a tool to help track it all down. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a tool. I found Project Analyzer but I need good justification on why we need to use this software because the verndor is foreign based.
View 2 RepliesI am creating a gridview and need to gather the data from various functions that return a type of IEnumerable. I've created gridviews using a dataset as a datasource, but how does one use multiple data sources(of IEnumerable) to populate one gridview? Like how do you combine all that into one dataset?
View 1 RepliesIn my project there are lot of variables, and some of them are not used at all.I want to clean up the code by removing these unused variables. These variables are not shown as unused when i build the application. The problem is with the global variables, and not with the local varible for a function .Is there a method to find these unused variables?

My current approach uses the following VS REGEX searches:

I'm still unclear as to how this works. The examples in the tutorial don't help very much, and, sorry, I could not make the examples in the previous thread work either and I don't understand the Lost Focus event. What I want to do is fairly simple. 1.) Enter the Test Duration as a string in the tool strip menu item text box in form1. 2.) Make the variable TestDuration equal to the string in the tool strip menu item. 3.) Print the value in a message box after button1 is pressed so I know that it's been captured. Attached is my simple code. This is probably very elementary and I'm sure I'm doing it wrong but I haven't a clue just yet.[code]...

View 6 RepliesI have functions in my program that stop after it reaches a Return line but I need the function to continue in case what I want the function to return changes. Is there a workaround for this or a way to force the function to continue after a return?
I made a Test Program to demonstrate the problem. It is a Form that contains only a button.
Here is the source code:

The messagebox always says "It returned False" when if it continued going through the code like I want it to it would have returned true.
Currently I have been writing subroutines in a activex dll to carry out functions in my main program but I have hit a little snag when trying to return a function when an if statement is triggered. What I want to do is for the dll to check if a function in the my.settings of the main program is true/false and if it turns out that it is true/false in the settings it will trigger the if statement in the dll which will then send data back to the main program - seem simple? I am also wondering, can you transfur boolean settings for enabled textboxes through functions stated in the subroutine of the dll?

View 2 RepliesAt the head of a module, I wish to declare some global variables for use in various subs/functions.
What is the difference between.Dim x as string and Private x as string / Public x as string, and when would I use one over the other?
Are the following three the same upon compilation
dim x as new assigningfunction
dim x as new assigningfunction()
dim x as assigningfunction = new assigningfunction()

I have a solution with 5 visual basic projects in it. Each project has an identical module with a few functions and constants - like handling our RS232 data, outputting events to log files, etc, etc..
If I want to change any of this common code, then I have to manually go through and change in each project. Is there a way to have a single module or class that's shared throughout the projects in the entire solution? I've considered creating and referencing a class library, but I'm likely to be making several little tweaks and changes to this "global code" and that method sounds like it could be just as awkward. Can I not just have a module that's visible to all projects, and compiled into each one seperately when the solution is built?
Well I am a new to VB.NET, converting a legacy system to .NET world. Recently I have been reviewing the already existing code since I joined the project quite late in the team. I find that there are many shared functions (not shared class) inside many classes. I doubt this may create some problem if two requests ( i.e two different HTTP request to the same method as it's a WCF application, of course exposed methods are not shared but internally called methods are shared) comes to the same shared method and both the calls to the method may have different method parameters/arguments, overwriting each other's arguments. In short, if shared method has a list of arguments which is going to be processed, is there any chance of inconsistencies in the light of multiple access to the shared method via two http requests.
View 2 RepliesI'd like to get a more refined programming style and I was wondering if any of you might give me a hand...(How to declare public variables, constants, functions...in a proper way),is there any useful link or pdf document I could have a look in order to improve my style?
View 5 Repliesgive me a good resource that explains the difference between a Private, Public, Shared Functions/Sub/Variables? I normally use Public for Subs/Functions inside of Modules I call from other parts of the program. But I'd like to get more of an understanding of how and when to use them. I want as little as impact to a system that is running my programs as possible, so i guess the key here is I'm trying to just get more proficient in my coding.
View 8 RepliesI've got a program that runs from one Windows form, Form1, with stuff declared all in that class: public variables, public functions, subs, etc. I decided that the form was getting cluttered, so I added one button to bring up a new form, Form2, and I put some of the buttons & check boxes for testing over there, so that Form1 can be more visually clean. Problem: when I go to put the code for the tests into the buttons on Form2, none of the public variables or subs or functions that reside in Form1 are visible in Form2. What statement/s do I need to add (and where) so that the public "stuff" that's declared in the class for Form1 is visible within Form2, please?
View 6 Repliesi have a strange issue today. Sample code is at the below of the post. The code that i have pointed out is too strange. According to my knowledge using return statement the functions return values as byval and copies the value to the stack. Also how can my class can reach outscope elements and change them. Take a look at to the code below. How this could be?
code
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim b As New ByteClass
Dim sumArray As Long = 0

In C#, when writing a function that returns an IEnumerble<>, you can use yield return to return a single item of the enumeration and yield break; to signify no remaining items. What is the VB.NET syntax for doing the same thing?

I have a delegate and its event in C# as below:
public delegate UsernameCredentials UsernameRequiredEventHandler( object sender, string endpoint );
public event UsernameRequiredEventHandler UsernameRequired;
On Converting the above code in VB.Net as follow :
Public Delegate Function UsernameRequiredEventHandler(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal endpoint As String) As UsernameCredentials
Public Event UsernameRequired As UsernameRequiredEventHandler
I am getting error on the above line saying that "Events cannot be declared with a delegate type that has a return type".I understand that this is not supported in VB.Net.
I've just been burned again by the fact that there is no compiler warning when you fail to return a result in a Function that returns a Value type. I wrote the function:
Public Function CompareTo(ByVal other As MessageIndex) As Integer Implements System.IComparable(Of MessageIndex).CompareTo
Me._messageIndex.CompareTo(other._messageIndex)
End Function
which performs the CompareTo Function for two integers, then throws the result away and returns 0, because I forgot to either assign a value to CompareTo, or use Return, and that isn't flagged by the compiler because it's valid VB for a Value type.
I happen never to use "FunctionName = ReturnValue" because it hides information from maintenance programmers and also because I think it's insane .
Is there any way I can get the compiler to issue a warning whenever my Functions are missing a Return, whether it's a Value type or not?
I have an object that I know was originally declared was an enum, but I need tothe specificnum type. I'm aware of the GetType method and it appears to work correctly, but I can't figure out how to go from there to a direct type comparison For reference types, you can use Typeof(object1) Is Class1, but this doesn't seem to work for value types.
View 3 RepliesIn this application I need to allow users to enter a month as integer (1-12) then use integer tryparse to validate that input, that seems to be the easy part. I need two create two functions, one that returns the name of the month and the other returns the number of days in that month. The arrays are supposed to be defined and initialized within the function so that the main program can take the user input and call the two functions, then return the appropriate values as output to labels. I am not sure how to declare the arrays in their appropriate functions and then how to call those functions to retrieve the right value from the function.
View 1 RepliesIn order to return a value from a VB.NET function one can assign a value to the "Functions Name" or use "return value." I sometimes see these inter-mixed in the same function. Personally, I prefer the return. My question is, what is the internal difference, if any, between the two?
View 5 RepliesI usually always use enummerations as a pass ID of some type with a calculated value using the n^2 notation to calculate the return values. It's easy to derive with squareroots what values are derived from a sum; but most of the time I use the Identifier String to denote a combo box drop down list view. I think this is fairly routine for most developers; since in all my coding or rework I have seen it used commonly by other developers also.
Anyway, I wanted to do some sort of comparisson array of strings to fill the combobox using the *.Items.AddRange() function and it requires an array pass (this typically shrinks the code down considerably) and if you want to mix and match arrays in segments it's easier. So here is the code; for doing so I am assuming that other developers use an "AddToArray" type function like me; if not you have to write the function or just replace the code with the actual adding to array.
''' <summary>
''' Convert an enummeration to an array.
