Casting An Object Through An Interface (.NET 3.5)?
May 14, 2010
I have an object that inherits from an interface. I can create and return the following:
Dim o As IRequest
o = New Request
Return o
This works fine. Now I want to return a List(Of Requests), so I try the following:
Dim o As List(Of IRequest)
o = New List(Of Request)
Return o
The error below is being given on o = New List(Of Request)
System.Collections.Generic.List(Of MyObjects.Request)' cannot be converted to System.Collections.Generic.List(Of MyInterfaces.IRequest)'.Consider using 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable(Of MyInterfaces.IRequest)'

I have an Entity class which Implements IWeightable:
Public Interface IWeightable
Property WeightState As WeightState
End Interface
I have a WeightCalculator class:
Public Class WeightsCalculator
Public Sub New(...)
..
End Sub
Why can I not do wc.Calculate(entities)? I receive:
Unable to cast object of type
'System.Collections.Generic.List1[mynameSpace.Entity]'
to type
'System.Collections.Generic.IList1[myNamespace.IWeightable]'.
If Entity implements IWeightable why is this not possible?

I've got a project called Service.Inside the project, i've got 2 windows classes.ClassA is the main windows class which opens up when I run the program.On ClassA, I've got a button which, when I click it, opens up ClassB which is the other windows class. Inside the button's eventhandler (click), I've got a string which contains the name of ClassB's class ie "ClassB". I will probably get this from a table. Is it possible to initiate the object ClassB without using if statments to check what the type of object is. In the code below, i've managed to create a o of type object, but i need to new it with the ClassB

Here is a test program I wrote to explore a facet of object casting ...
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim class1 As MyBaseClass = New MyBaseClass()
Dim class2 As MyInheritedClass = New MyInheritedClass()
Dim class3 As MyBaseClass = Nothing
[Code] .....
The problem comes with the TryCast statement on class3. My intention is that class3 remains as a baseclass, but when the TryCast is applied, class3 morphs itself into an Inherited class which is not what I wanted. So is there a gap in my OOP/VB.NET knowledge and this action is legitimate or should class3 still be regarded as a base class?

I'm trying to make a .dll that contains a lot of basic functionality that a program can use. Currently i am trying to use interfaces to make a lot of this functionallity independend of the program using it but i hit a snag. The Basic idea is that a programmer will create his own object using the interface discribed in my .DLL file. Then implements those functions as he likes. He can then instanciate a controller (found in the same DLL) and sends his custom object implementing the interface to that Controller. The controller can then be started and will take over all the work. I do not know what type of object is send to the controller and idealy i want to program it in such a fashion that i shouldn't care as long as the object send implements that interface.In code I am trying to achieve the following: (quite simplyfied)
.Dll:
Code:
Public Interface MyInterface '<----Decleration of the interfaceFunction GetData() As Integer
Function SetData(Data As Integer)
end interface
[code]....
this propperly. I know that the second i set the interface adaptor in the Controller VS comes nagging that it can not be converted to a "MyInterface" Class. Obviously i am doing something wrong. I can change the datatype that the controller expects to the "MyController" type but that would completely ruin the whole idea of flexibillity. I am hoping someone sees what i am trying to do and can point out where i made the thinking error.

I've got a piece of code in a project (MyProject) that contains early bound object from a referenced assembly (We'll call it CommonAssembly):
Dim myObject As CommonAssembly.MyEarlyBoundType
now I have another assembly that is dynamically loaded because it is not present in all projects:
Dim myLateBoundObject As Object = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap("Utils", "Utils.MyLateBoundType")
MyLateBoundType derives from CommonAssembly.MyEarlyBoundType, and I want to cast myObject to myLateBoundObject and then programmatically invoke the additional

I've got 3 forms that have exactly the same functions, so I decided to create an interface.
public Interface IExample
public sub Add()
Public sub Edit()
[code]....
At this point, objfrmExample is now instantiated, even though I've not done a "objfrmExpample = new [what-goes-here?] " and I'm curious as to why.I could possibly guess that because you cannot instantiate an interface variable, then vb.net automatically creates an instance. But thats just a guess. The question is , what is meant by declaring a variable of type Interface, and how does it work?

I have an interface that describes an specialized list in my application...
[Code]....
Is there a way to make an interface serializable, or am I going to have to convert each of my objects into a concrete class implementing the interface, and then return that class?

I'm working on learning VB.Net after having programmed in VB6, VBA, and VBScript for several years. I'm assuming that something that begins with the letter I is an interface. However, a lot of places I see people/documentation referring to what appears to be class objects that begin with I. I guess I'm under the impression that Interfaces are contracts that class objects can agree to.

What is the most commonly used convention (in C# and VB) to name object, when I want to emphesize that it is an instance of class that implements some interface. Like here:
//is iDisp correct name?
protected void Dispose(IDisposable iDisp)
{
iDisp.Dispose();
Console.WriteLine("Disposed");
}

I have an interface, for the sake of argument called MyInterface.I Have a Control Class, lets name it "Parent" that implements MyInterface.I have another Control Class that inherits Parent, called "Child".I have a final Control Class lets call it "Container", that accepts dragging the parent onto it.[code]I want to modify this not to only accept Parent, but to accept ANYthing that implements MyInterface. I can't figure out how the heck to get it to work. Even more confusing, if I drag the child onto Container, with the code as it is above(checking to see if a Parent was dropped), GetDataPresent always returns false. I would figure it would work, since Child inherited parent.[code]But it bombs and GetDataPresent returns false whether I dragged a Parent or a Child. I'm being an idiot somewhere..

I have a base class called Schedule and three classes inherited: DailySchedule, WeeklySchedule, MontlySchedule. Now I would like to build a form in which users can modify the schedule and I have to compile different parts of it depending on whether the schedule is daily, weekly or monthly. Then I want to have back the schedule modified. Which object can I use on the form?
I thought to implement on the base class an interface iSchedule and to pass the interface to the form, but when I'm on the form constructor how can I cast the interface to the correct class? e.g. in the form constructor I will have a sched variable as iSchedule, I can see that, for example, is a DailySchedule from an interface property called Type. But how can I cast the interface to an instance of the DailySchedule class and to access to its members?

I use the IsAssignableFrom-method to check if the datasource of a bindingsource-object implements an interface i defined. The check happens inside the property-setter like this:
Private WithEvents _BindingSource As BindingSource

''' BindingSource containing datasource in which search is executed.
''' </summary>
''' <remarks>Datasource must implement ISearchAndFindable.</remarks>

I have to begin saying that I'm working with Visual Basic. The problem is that I have a Entity Framework object and I want to indicate that this object implements a interface, for example:
Public Interface ICatalog
Property created_at() As Date
Property id() As Long
End Interface
Those properties are allready in the object. In c# I've done this just by declaring a partial class of the object and indicates that implements that interface, but in basic is not working, I supouse that is because of the language sintaxis used to declare that a property is implementing some property of the interface, for example:Public Property created_at() As Date Implements ICatalog.created_at

I'm new to generics and am having some issues when using with interfaces.I'm developing with VS2008 - .NET 3.5 Ultimately, I'd like to create an interface that inherits the IList(Of T) interface and add a function definition to the derived interface that adds a new element of type T to the list and returns the index of the newly added item.
I have everything figured out but am stuck on a casting issue. If I execute the following line of code at runtime:CType(New clsObjectFactoryList(Of clsIDNamePair), ifObjectFactoryList(Of ifIDNamePair))

I have an interface ITest with a method GetResult(). I have a class Test which implements ITest and thereby defines private method GetResult().
Next I create an instance of Test in a different class. The code is as below:
Module NewClass
Public Sub New()
Dim i As ITest = New Test()
[Code]....
I am migrating existing code from VB 6 to VB.NET and hence I'm not supposed to change the access modifier of GetResult. Leaving it Private will throw InvalidCastException Unable to cast object of type 'System.Object' to type 'ITest'
Object type variable o is used in many places and hence I don't want to change that. And yes, Test implements ITest.GetMember with a different name.
