I am interacting with VB code on a different tier, using a client-side c# program. The VB function signature looks like this:
Public Sub toggleExclusion( _
ByVal mouse As Double, _
ByVal study As Integer, _

I get an error saying no overloaded method of toggleExclusion takes 2 arguments?
I have a search function de build.We are using pure ASP.NET w VB.NET We have multiple DropDownLists and we're building a search query with whatever was selected in those DDLs. My question is, how can I handle the blank values (unselected dropdownlist values) with the SQL Query ? I'm using AND operators in the query so if anything is blank it'll fail the search. If the dropdownlist has no selected value, i don't want the value to be part of the search. It would be easy to code with just 2-3 parameters, but we're looking thru at least 10 items and doing a SWITCH CASE or multiple IFs would soon become mayhem.
View 1 RepliesI'm currently working with a client's VB.Net code, which was developed for them by a small development shop a few years ago and which they purchased and have been maintaining and uprgrading since. This client's primary developer is out on indefinite (likely permanent) medical leave and I'm now filling in until they bring in a full timer (as I'm a contractor here). My current task is to add some functionality to a the VB.Net code they purchased. I'm finding practices and techniques in the code that absolutely baffle me and can't make the code do what I want. I'm starting to wonder if it's me and was hoping to get some thoughts on the code I've encountered.
For example: Setting a variable to accept the result of a function by calling the function with many parameters, clearing the parameters in the function, setting them to some value, calling another function with those new values, then never using the values returned by the functions. I'll add a code snippet in the first comment since this is already getting long.
I have a function where I am performing a lot number of database operations inside a Sub. The operation when called directly like:ExecProcess()
takes about 11 seconds to run.However, if I create a Delegate, and call the sub using BeginInvoke(), the very same process takes over 40 seconds to execute.Here's the threaded code:
Protected del As ProcessDelegate
Protected Delegate Sub ProcessDelegate()
del = New ProcessDelegate(AddressOf SELocal.ExecJob)
Dim cb As New AsyncCallback(AddressOf Me.ExecJobComplete)
del.BeginInvoke(cb, del)
Anyone know what may cause a function to take longer inside a new thread, rather than calling directly?

I have a Windows form Application that I am creating, could also be a Windows Service that I need to run.There are basically 2 Classes that were converted from java to vb.net and 1 xml file to this. for testing purposes I would like to use the Button.click event to manually run the code.However i get an error when trying to call the sub/function the normal way.I even tried to put this classes information in the Public Class Form1 but it keeps on giving me errors.This is the Sub:
Shared Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)
so how do I call it from a Button.click event?
normally i would just do a "call main()" and it works however this time it is not because of the (byVal args() as string)

I have a midterm project where we must replicate what our teacher has made, it is a convenience store program. I am having trouble calling the functions, he wants us to use these:
PopulateItems => Populate Items listbox based on the category selected
GetItemPrice => Retrieve the price for a given item
GetItemPriceFromPurchases => Retrieve the item price from the purchases list box (optional. You may not need
[CODE]...
So far I have the first list box populated when the form loads. However outside of that I do not know where to call the function in order to populate the second list box upon selection of the first.
However, I am wondering if there are any workarounds or plans for incorporating this feature into VB.NET in the future?What I'd like to do:
Public Delegate Function Deserializer(Of T)(ByRef Buffer() As Byte, optional ByRef BufferPosition As Integer = 0) As T
'Implementation of a func that matches the delegate'
Class A
Public Function Deserialize(Byref Buffer() as Byte, optional Byref BufferPosition as integer = 0)
....
In the absence of specifying "optional" inside the actual delegate itself, it'd at least be nice to be able to do it in the function implementation only:
Public Delegate Function Deserializer(Of T)(ByRef Buffer() As Byte, ByRef BufferPosition As Integer) As T
'Implementation of a func that matches the delegate'
Class A
Public Function Deserialize(Byref Buffer() as Byte, optional Byref BufferPosition as integer = 0)
....
At least this second way, the functions for the delegate will always have a value mapped to each parameter, although some may come from the function side and not the calling side.
I tried DbNull.Value but no luck. How do I assign a default value as null to a string parameter that is null in VB.NET? Its litte strange to see that VB does not have anything like plain null as most of the other languages do. Also what is the difference between null and DbNull and Nothing.
View 3 RepliesWhat is the standard way to implement optional query parameters in a .NET WinForms application?In other words, only query on a field if the value of a corresponding control is not null.
EDIT: I use a FillBy method which calls a query in my Access database. In the TableAdapter query editor, I just used WHERE (field1 = ?) AND (field2 = ?) ... I just can't find the "hook" to bind form controls to the table adapter query parameters and so that if a form uses the default value to not query on it.
Public Function Foo(ByRef a As AClass, _
Optional ByRef b As BClass = Nothing, _
Optional ByRef c As CClass = Nothing) As XClass

I would just like to know why. optional parameters cannot have structure types?

I have an object, called 'PERSON' This person object has a title, firstName & Surname property as well as many other which are at the moment irrelevant. It also has a read only property called Fullname which concatenates the two or three parameters mentioned above depending on an optional parameter 'withTitles' passed over when you call PERSON.FULLNAME
PERSON.FULLNAME(true) <- Will add titles if there are any
PERSON.FULLNAME(false) <- Will give the name without the title
Public ReadOnly Property FullName(Optional ByVal withTitle As Boolean = False) As String
[Code]...
I get an error: PERSON does not contain a property of 'FullName'. If I change this to any other property that does not take a parameter it works as expected. Now I'm guessing that the binding procedure can't handle optional or mandatory parameters for object properties, is this right? Is there a better way to do it? I thought about looping through the collection to add them manually but that kinda defeats the object of DataBinding!

View 4 RepliesI have a custom Attribute class where the constructor takes one fixed parameter and two optional parameters. It is my understanding that one can supply one or more optional parameters by using 'named parameters' such as this:
Private Sub CallMethod()
Me.OptionalMethod(-1, z:=1)
End Sub
[code]....
Well, I thought, perhaps Attributes don't support named parameters. I know they can behave a little weird (they don't support all types in their arguments for example I think), so I thought little of it.But then... I noticed something else. If you take a look at my code of the attribute class again. Notice that I am using an attribute on that class as well... And what do you know: named parameters. Working just fine... The AttributeUsage attribute has the exact same configuration: one fixed parameter and two optional parameters. I seem to be able to call them using named parameters just fine, where I cannot call my own attribute constructor with named parameters...

I'm using a stored procedure to updateinsert data into a table using MERGE. One of the items being inserted is a VarBinary file. Now if I wish to add a new file it's just a case of using ReadAllBytes as below, to remove the file I pass DBNull. Now what if other fields are being updated but the file is not being changed? I want the field to remain untouched unless I'm replacing the file or deleting it as above. I cannot add the file via the parameter again as it may only exist in the database, unless I read it first and write it back which seems pointless. [Code]

View 1 RepliesI am using Stanav's PdfManipulation2.AddImageToPage(..., Pages) for iTextSharp library (v5.1.3) and was not able to add the image to specific pages: e.g. to add to only page 1 and 3 of a five pages PDF

I have an Excel VBA function that takes a number of optional parameters, including an optional Range:
Function DazBeta(A As Range, Z As Range, _
B As Integer, _
Optional Freq As Integer = 1, _
Optional c As Double = 0, _
Optional r As Range, _
Optional Pct As Boolean = True, _
Optional Label As Integer = 1)
I am translating to VB.NET, and it's the optional Range that is giving me grief because VB.NET does allow optional Ranges. Or rather, optional parameters must provide a default value. What is the recommended way to change the VB.NET function signature so that the code is callable from an Excel cell as a UDF? (The VB.NET implements a UDF, the assembly is registered as a COM server, and the Excel spreadsheet is told of this server and type library, allowing the VB.NET code to be called from an Excel spreadsheet cell.) I have other compilation problems, so I have not been able to explore this. I am thinking that accepting an optional Object (default value Nothing) might work and then I could cast the Object to a Range. Alternatively, if there were a default value that could be specified with an optional Range, that would work, too.
My problem is this (apologies if this is a little long ... hang in there):I can define a function in VB.NET with optional parameters that wraps a SQL procedure:
