I am working with a vb program, but there is something strange on one of my .vb code pagewhen i put the "dot" afther the object name its dont show the methods availables for this objectbut on other vb code pages i can see it. but in this one no.for exmaplethis is a piece of code: Dim sb As New StringBuilder()

I am not sure how clear my question is by the title, but I am trying to make Class methods instead of Instance methods in Visual Basic that way I don't have to waste memory and code creating temporary objects to execute methods that don't need instance variables.
I am not sure if you can do that in VB but I know you can in Objective-C by using either a "+" or "-" sign in front of the method declaration. And in C++ (at least I think, I can't remember) you put the static keyword or const keyword in front of the function.How would I do this in VB if it is possible? Or should I just make a separate set of functions that are not members of a class?

In the code below (which I just wrote here - it closely mirrors what my actual code is...) the problem is with the line:
Thing.ThingObject.Add(MyObject)
It says: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" Yes - it is "nothing" before I try to use the Add method so I must be doing something basic and wrong.The object I am trying to add is fine - I can tell you it is correct, it's just that I apparently cannot use the .add method on the Thing.ThingObject until it is properly created - which I have apparently not done.
Private Sub DoThing()
Dim MyObject as New Object
MyObject = MakeMyObject

I wonder why it's impossible to create and extension method for Object? I use Excel PIA. The property Cells of Worksheet returns Object (if using with indexes). For example, Worksheet.Cells(1, 1) returns Object type. I know it's a Range object, and I want to cast it to Range. It would be convenient to write following:[code]
View 5 RepliesI have an algorithm that "always" runs steps A, C, D in that order.I want to allow a way to run A, B, C, D, where B can be multiple methods. C, D "should" be unaffected, but I cannot parallelize it. It is just writing to a file.Any way, I know a tiny bit about delegates and have used the AddressOf to hook up an event handler.So I was thinking of simply creating an array or collection of what not of "addresses" or delegates.Is this the 'best' way? I know how to force the behavior with objects, but I am hoping to reuse any mechanisms already built in to VB, .NET.

I want to create a subclass of a class that has some shared methods. These shared methods all call one specific method. But I can't redefine that specific method in the subclass. If I try to make it overridable in the parent class, it says that shared and overridable can't both be used.

If I run my web service code, it generates a serialized XML with only one level, that is,ParentElement and ChildElement. My goal is to make it a multiple XML levels that even grandChild will show, as the sample output below. How can I achieve this using List ollection looping. Do I need to create several functions that returns List objects for each column of the dataset I have?

I've got several methods that all need to add items to a single list which will eventually be used to populate a listview. I thought about declaring the list at class level so that all of these methods could access it, but it didnt really make sense as the only methods that access this list are Shared methods, so I didnt think it was worth having a list just sat there for the entire time that any instances of the class are created, when in a lot of cases the list would not be used.
So what I ended up doing was just declaring the list in the Shared method that then calls these other methods that need to add to the list, and for each of these methods it calls it passes the list in as an argument. The methods can then add items to the list and as the list is a reference type it updates the underlying list object, so once all of the methods have been called then the list in the calling method is up to date and can be used. Then when that method exits, the list is no longer in scope and so is removed from memory. This all works fine, but it feels a bit... wrong. Would it be better to just declare the list at Class level and not be bothered about the small overhead of the list always being in scope when instances of this class are created that will not even use the list?
EDIT: Actually, thinking about it.. because the methods that use the list are shared then the list would need to be shared as well if it was at class level - so the list would not only be around when instances of the class are created, but all of the time. So it will just be sat in memory for the lifetime of the program wont it? I assume this could make a noticeable impact on memory usage after the list has been filled with data, so I guess if I went down that route then I would have to make sure I cleared the list once I had populated the listview. This is another reason why it just seems much easier and more manageable to declare the list as a local variable in the shared method that then calls the other methods that also add to the list.
In VB.Net is there any difference between the following three ways of initializing object variables
Method 1
Dim commandObject As SqlCommand
commandObject = New SqlCommand("MadeUpCommand")
Method 2
Dim commandObject As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("MadeUpCommand")
Method 3
Dim commandObject As New SqlCommand("MadeUpCommand")
Is one more efficient than the others, or are they effectively all the same?

I cannot access any extension methods for objResult, like .ToList() or .First(). The file imports System.Linq and the project is targeted to .NET 3.5. How do I get the extension methods back?
When you type sender. IntelliSense lists 5 methods and yet if you type sender.Left or sender.top these will work. Why don't these properties show up as available for use via IntelliSense.
View 2 RepliesI've been trolling for a long time now and have decided to register as I finally have some time to start jumping into VB. The last time I coded VB, the current version was VB 4. I've been out of programming for a good while now and considered myself a beginner (tutorial example coder haha).
My question is: Where is a good place to start learning VB.NET?
I know it's an often asked and answered question - but let me give you a bit more information so more specialized replies might be given.
I'm in INFOSEC/COMSEC and would like to (eventually) develop a program that contains a DB of information that is read by the application and saves input information into a DB (encrypted) as well. The program will be a 800-53 C&A control assessment program; used for tracking system compliance for federal information systems. I would like to be able to develop such a tool to make my life easier at work instead of using Excel spreadsheets to track everything.
I would like to learn:
- Input / Output methods and validation (for secure coding)
- Read/Write DB Encryption (RSA or other 128-bit) for user input information
- Ability to generate PDF reports from the primary keys and data sets from the above DB
My goal is to create a program that allows a user to install the program, setup a 'master' account that a serial/key has been generated for - that master account is then allowed to create new projects (progress saved in DB). A project asks the user certain questions pertaining to information systems and takes the input and saves it into the DB (encrypted). When the assessment is completed, I would like the program to be able to generate a PDF report from the DB (from a layout template I created).
Is it possible to call a protected method via reflection. I am using this:
Me.GetType.InvokeMember(Stages(CurrentStage),
Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod,
Nothing,
Me,
Nothing)
Which always calls a method with no params or return. The idea is that the user of my object (transactional processing of business logic) inherits the base class adds in a load of private methods to fire. They then add these method names to a list in the order they would like them fired and the code above will take care of firing them.
It works fine with public methods but not with private or protected methods in the same class (Protected because I have some 'standard' pre built methods to add to the base class). Realistically I could make the methods public and be done with it but my inner nerd wont allow me to do so...
I am assuming this is a security feature. Is there a way to get around this or does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed but keep my tasty, tasty visibility modifiers in tact?

I'm kind of confuse on how to use get and set in vb how would i access the get/set method within the class and when i instantiate the class somewhere else? in java i would make a 2 methods call like get_item set_item and i can just use the the method name i made. to retrieve or set within the class/object or when i instantiate it somewhere else. but in vb there is a property method and 2 methods inside(set,get)?

I have two methods on the page. One AddMessageToInboxOutbox(params[]) and other one SendNewMessageMail(params[]).
Once user sends an message to other other first message is added to DB and then sent to recipient's email. Sometimes SMTP is heavy loaded and it takes up to 5 seconds to get answer from it. I want to enclose SendNewMessageMail(params[]) with async call using other thread or something. I have never done that.
How do i perform this action right in ASP.NET?
I've seen extended .NET method libraries such as this and this.In VB.NET, since you create your extended methods in a Module, How do I make them into a DLL?? (like in those links above) Its not possible to build and get the DLL from a Module.
View 7 RepliesI created a couple of extended methods in a VB.NET module. I put them inside a Class, built it and got the DLL. From another program I made a reference to that DLL and imported it using Imports as well.The extended methods appear in IntelliSense and it works but a warning appears in the Error console saying,Could not resolve this reference. Could not locate the assembly "nK0deExtendedMethods". Check to make sure the assembly exists on disk. why this error occurs even though I have referenced the DLL?
This is the Class where I've put my module with the extended method.
Imports System.Runtime.CompilerServices
Imports System.Drawing
Namespace nK0deExtendedMethods

And I'm having another doubt. In the Imports statement, I have to mention the DLL's name along with the Namespace name. Like this,

Normally you only have to import the Namespace's name, right?

I would like to know your opinion on extension methods. Sure, it is a nice feature and makes you feel powerful. It's great to see your own method pop up when typing in a object. But it doesn't really add something new... You can get the job done with normal methods as well. I think extension methods do not belong in object oriented programming. It makes your code easier to read but harder to understand for someone else.
