Is there a way to build a new class during Runtime? Or at least, add a new property to an existing class.
I mean creating a class that doesn't exist and not an instance of an existing class. I could later on use reflections to load and use this class.
As Google and Yahoo have provided barely anything, I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction on how to, or an example of how I can build a working executable during runtime in vb.net.It's for my custom school project.

View 2 RepliesI am interested in building a simple GUI window using VB.net that looks more or less like the Firefox download manager (press Ctrl + J when you are in firefox to see how the window looks like). However, instead of Search, I would like to have a text space where I can enter the download URLs.
So basically, initially, I have a blank window with a clear list button and a URL text box at the bottom, as I type in the download URLs and press enter on keyboard, the text area at the top shows the download file name as well as the progress bar.
One more thing I would like to add is to have the window to automatically resize itself, meaning the more jobs I added to a list, the longer the size of the window will grow, up to a certain limit.
This is my first attempt on coding up something on the GUI side, so I am just wondering if there is anything to get me start with, is there like a package or library to get me started? Or, obviously preferably, is there already a package of something like this in VB.net?
I am using VS.Net 2003. I have a solution that contains 4 projects. The first project contains the definitions of interfaces. The third project is using the interfaces defined in the first project. For the third project, I added a reference to the first project. But I'm still getting a build error

I am working on a VB NET project and had the strangest thing happen.I created a class file(just like a dozen or so I have already created). I wrote in the code to access it. The autocomplete found the class, filled it in and colored it blue, just as it should.But, when I run the app, I get a type is undefined error.
There is nothing in the class yet. And there is really no code to post..it is as straight forward as I described.I tried restarting VS; Deleting and recreating the class; Deleting the class and creating a new one with a different name.
Is there something in the VB NET configuration I can check to see if it is not being added somewhere?
I found the problem. I have 2 projects in one solution. They both share some classes that were trying to use my new classes. When I hit F5, both projects are compiled, and since I hadn't shared the classes with the second project, it errored.
So, now my question is changed; How do I specify to only build the specified Startup Project when debugging?
A co-worker checked a very simple Visual Basic Visual Studio 2010 application into our version control system. When I checked it out and tried to build it I got the weird error below, which I am guessing has something to do with which .Net Framework the build is targetted towards and also which Framework I have installed.

I'm doing binary serialization and want to know if its possible to assign the type of the serializable object in the serializer method at runtime by passing the type as a parmeter. Is it also possible to assign the return type?
View 6 RepliesI'm in the process of creating a function which reflects over the properties in a class and adds them to this data structure I have. Some of the properties are generic types.So say we have DataType(Of T) that has a .Value property of type T:
Dim properties = GetType(MyType).GetFields(Reflection.BindingFlags.Public Or _
Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance)
For Each prop As fieldinfo In properties
Collection.Add(prop.Name,prop.GetValue(poco))
Next
In the collection.Add for primitive types (Integer, String, etc....) I just want to add the type... but in the case of generic I want to add the DataType(Of T).Value. I hope there is some work-around but I don't think there is a way because the type of T can not be determined at compile time right? Ideally DirectCast(prop.getvalue(poco), DataType(Of T)).Value would be possible. This is when you hoped even more dynamics appear than whats in .NET 4.0.
I have an object, o, and a type, T. I'd like to use reflection to change object o to type T at runtime without instantiating it.The equivalent at compile time would be:
Dim p as Point = Nothing I know how to use Activator.CreateInstance to create an instance at run time that is equivalent to: Dim p as New Point()
But i don't want to do this. I have no knowledge of the type's constructor parameters and some types don't have a parameterless constructor. eg. Font. So, to sum up, I'd like a way of performing the equivalent of: Dim o as T = Nothing
In case you're wondering why I'm doing this, it's because I'm using a PropertyGrid on a form to edit types. If this is the first time for editing, say, a Font, then passing an uninitialised Font to the PropertyGrid makes the grid display the default values.
I tried 'o = GetUninitializedObject(T)', but the PropertyGrid either wants a properly initialised object or an object, with a defined type, set to nothing.
I've actually solved my particular problem here: how-to-use-the-property-grid-in-a-form-to-edit-any-type
, but i'd still be interested to know how to assign a type at run-time without the use of a wrapper class (which I was lucky enough to be using).

View 2 RepliesI am using 2008 Express Edition. I am trying to make a Release build instead of a Debug build.Under Tools->Options, Projects and Solutions->General - I checked Show advanced build configurations. The option to switch configurations does not show up in the IDE.
After this, I went to the Project Properties->Compile and switched the Configuration from Active(Debug) to Release.After building, I looked in my project directory, however only in the Debug sub-directory was the .exe and nothing in the Release sub-directory.I have used Visual C++ Express Edition, where I noticed that if you do not change to Release in the IDE than after changing to Release in properties, resets the project to the last configuration setting which is usually Debug.how to make the Debug/Release box available in the IDE, since Tools/Options does not make it show up?

View 12 RepliesI have some very simple questions about making a release build exe in vb.net using MS VB 2010 Express.
I realize that my project's executable is built in the bin/debug folder. However, when I copy this to any other location on my computer or someone else's, this executable does not function. I have read that I need to create a release build but in MS VB 2010 Express, when I use the Project-Properties menu and change the Compile tab configuration to Release and the path to binRelease, I still get the exe in the binDebug folder and not the binRelease folder.
1) Is it normal that exe's from the debug folder do not function outside of the debug folder?
2) Most importantly, if the release build produces a faster exe, could someone please explain step by step how to do this with MS VB 2010 Express ? I do not see any button on the compile tab in the project properties that actually builds the release.
