View 1 Repliesbare with me during this silly example. :-) Let's say I have a class like this:
Public Class Animal
Public iLegs as int32 ' Number of legs
Public bWings as Boolean ' Wings? Yes/No
End Class
And another class that inherits the "Animal" class and adds one more property:
Public Class ScaryAnimal
Inherits Animal
Public iScariness as int32 ' 0-100, how scary is it?
End Class
Now, if I have an instance of "Animal" with some values in it, and I decide I want to cast it to a ScaryAnimal for some reason, how do I do that without having to create a new instance of "ScaryAnimal" and copy each property value?Basically I'm looking for a way to do this, without having to write the lines marked with '*** below:

I have a qeustion where i made a function that changes the property value of an object. the objects + alias are stored in an array (Objects()) , if the var (NewValue) has a value then it checks the property type and converts the Newvalue and inputs it.
[Code]...
How do I transfer the value of a variable and place it into the text property of an object on form load?
View 2 RepliesI am working on a project that uses lots of custom class objects.Before starting work on real project, I tested the object behaviour on a temporary project. And find that if i add the object to a list and combobox and then make any change to the object property then it reflects in list and combobox.But after using the same process in real project the change does not reflect. Why?Also, how can i update object property placed in the combobox.
for eg.
Class X has property id and name
created objX of type Class X and set id=1 and name='All'

In an ASP.NET 3.5 VB web app, I successfully manage to cache an object containing several personal details such as name, address, etc. One of the items is CreditNum which I'd like to change in the cache on the fly. Is there a way to access this directly in the cache or do I have to destroy and rebuild the whole object just to change the value of objMemberDetails.CreditNum?The cache is set using:
Public Shared Sub CacheSet(ByVal key As String, ByVal value As Object)
Dim userID As String = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name
HttpContext.Current.Cache(key & "_" & userID) = value
End Sub
how do i change the property of a created object in the timer event? In other words i have a button that creates a panel for me, in a time event i want to change the created panels to a different backcolor, how would i do this?
View 1 RepliesI'm creating an new class object with a property that holds a generic List(of Singles).After creating this object, I change this generic list. Since I didn't pass that list as ByRef in the New-Procedure, I would expect to already created object instance NOT to change, but that not the case. Where am I wrong?
'Class
Public Class clVessel
Public Sub New(ByVal ID As Integer, ByVal Frequencies As List(Of Single))

How can i change the backcolor property of an object to an rgb value?
i do as it says in the help:
Code:
dim ink as long
ink = rgb(233,126,190)
lblInkPot.BackColor = ink
but i get the error "Value of type "Long" cannot be converted to "system.drawing.color"", but it specifically tells you in help to use "long"...
I know this is random but is there a way to specify that a property explicitly does not need to be inherited? So you can have two sub classes and one object will have that property and the other doesn't?
View 2 RepliesIn the book I am reading the writer shows code for adding the WordWrap property to a class which inherits System.Windows.Forms.UserControl. But what is the point? There is nowhere to insert strings! Also he shows how to add an event by embedding a Combo in an instance of the class and using its SelectedIndexChanged event to raise the event for the UserControl; again what is the point?
View 5 RepliesI am creating an Extended DateTime picker. I have created a Class the inherits the Default DateTimePicker and Adds a new Property NullableValue. I have placed the control on a form and bound it to a Binding Source using the NullableValue Property. When I load the record the control updates as it should. But when I change the value and save it does not save back to the database.

I've removed the properties completely with a controlDesigner class, but I'm getting warnings + trying to do it properly to remove those warnings.
View 6 RepliesI have a class that exposes an auto implemented property Enabled
[Code]...
But If I had not use an auto implemented property and declared my own backing-field as follows this is accessible from the subclass: Private _Enabled as Boolean ---- EDIT ----
The abve line is incorrect - this is not possible, it was in fact Protected in the original code which allowed access from the sub class See @JonSkeet answer ---- EDIT Of course I can just access Enabled from the sub class to work around this but can someone explain why this is the behaviour?

View 3 RepliesI have a project that has mainly two objects, both inheriting from a base. Like this:
Public Class Vehicle
Property Model As String
Property Make As String[code].....
The above function doesn't work because myVehicle is a Vehicle, not a Truck.Is there a way I can pass around a Vehicle type and have the IDE know which type to use? Or am I completely missing a better way to do this?
I inherits textbox Control and I added some new properties to it .one of these properties value i want it to change it's value in desgin time when i change Name property of the new textbox

If I defined a ENUM in a base object with serveral default values. When I inherit from the base object I want to add more options the the ENUM list which are specific to the inheriting object.
For example my base could have a ENUM called Direction with values:
None
ALL
Stop
Start
I create a new class call Compass which inherits the base class and what to add the following to the ENUM Direction. I create a new class call Navigation which inherits the base class and what to add the following to the ENUM Direction. So, In my inheriting class haow do I extend the ENUM.
I am using visual inheritance and was wondering if there is a way to change the properties of inherited controls at design time, preferably in the form designer. If not, then in the designer code. I have my control declared as Public in the base class. I can access it in the child form code, but not in the form designer. Is this just not possible?
View 3 RepliesI searched on the forum / Internet for the solution how a PropetryInfo object (of a Public property) can reveal if it has a Private Protected Setter ... it was all in vain .... all help I found was about how to "Set" value of a public property having a Private Setter.I would like to know if I have a PropertyInfo object of a public property, how would I know if its Setter is Non Public?
I tried, in a exception handling block, where I did a GetValue of the PropertyInfo object and then called SetValue by setting the same value back... but to my surprise it worked well and didn error out.

on a Windows Form, an object myObject is bound to myObjectDataBindingSource like this:myObjectDataBindingSource .DatSource = myObject on the form, i have a check box bound to the property: chkProp1 for example of the object: myObjectDataBindingSource In the code when the checkbox is clicked, I need to go in code and change another text property of the object txtProper2 for example like this:
Private Sub chkProp1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles chkProp1.CheckedChanged

View 3 RepliesI know how to handle a single objects property changed event very easily. I want to handle a objects property changed event that is part of another object.
Given Object:
[ObjectY = Y]
+ Public WithEvents X As ObjectX
I would like to do something like:
Private Sub XPropertyChanged() Handles Y.X.PropertyChanged
Right now I need to create a object that equals the object inside that object and then handle this variable pointers property changed, but that is just annoying.
I want to assign an object property by referencing the property dynamically, with a variable name
i.e.
dim propName as string
staticObjectName.propName = 'whatever
I'm checking If a border's child property is not set to nothing or equal to a given element, but whenever I run the program, it says that it's set to nothing and crashes. Here's my code:
If Not Me.Child.Equals(Nothing) Then ...
If Me.Child.Equals(value) Then ...
Both gives an error. What should I do to pass these lines? Also in C# it would look like this:
if(this.Child != null) ...
if (this.Child != value) ...
But this time it doesn't give an error.
I'm working on a simple base form in which all the other forms in the project will inherit. This base form only adds 5 properties (at the moment) dealing with painting a gradient background. The problem I'm facing right now is when I change a property on Form1 (the test form) and click run it doesn't show that change. I also checked the .designer.vb file and when I make a change it's not added to the code behind file, I'm at a loss right now to why.
[Code]...
I have a base form and I inherit other forms from it. However, if i go back and change say the size of the base form, I don't see those changes take effect in my inherited forms. Does anyone know why that is? Is there a solution to this issue?So as far as design is goes, what exactly gets inherited by other forms?

After reading all the examples for list of T exists and Find and find first, none show how to handle multi-property objects. Below is bare bones example maybe someone could flesh out to show how this should be done.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim DatePriceList As New List(Of DateAndPrice)
DatePriceList.Add(New DateAndPrice(Date.Parse("1/1/2000"), 10.12))
DatePriceList.Add(New DateAndPrice(Date.Parse("1/2/2000"), 11.12))
