Can Objects With Null Values Be Serialized
Dec 27, 2011I have used XML serialization to persist objects in my application but I am now interested in using null- able Data types for properties. Will I still be able to serialize?
View 6 RepliesGet Away With Packing Data Into Serialized Objects?
Feb 24, 2011I have a thought about using a Serializable Collection containing both data objects and also sub-collections as a low-grade database, meaning it's going to store data objects that are expected to be added to regularly and deleted from occasionally.
View 3 RepliesTcp/ip - Consecutive Serialized Objects Not Deserializing?
Mar 28, 2009This is my first post on here--I've been teaching myself VB via forums like this and MSDN for about 2 years now. I'm programming a computerized economics experiment, and I'm using a communications package that a guy I worked with developed. He and I have been going back and forth trying to figure out what the heck is going on.
The upshot of the communications package is that there's a serializeable MQMessage class that we send back and forth, essentially just a package of an integer (Type), string (Text), and Object (Data). Most of the time, this goes according to plan.
The problem is this: If the client receives two or more messages back-to-back, the client stops raising the MessageArrived event. (and presumably, the same would hold true for the server--I should test this, but jeez-oh-man, I've been running test after test for the last week).It's still connected, as on disconnect it throws the "Socket forcibly closed" exception. When it receives multiple messages sequentially, it's still receiving the data, it just never knows when the first message ends, and the buffer just keeps filling and filling. The problem seems to be that it can never successfully Deserialize the MQMessage object, and so it returns Nothing on the getCompletedMessage function and just keeps adding to the buffer (ABuffer.Length goes 1024, 2048, etc.).
VS 2008 Populate Object With List Of Windows Users Without Changing Datatypes?
Jul 25, 2011PROJECT TYPE: Windows Forms Application
LANGUAGE: Visual Basic
.NET VERSION: 3.5
IDE: Visual Studio 2008
OPTION STRICT: on
OPTION EXPLICIT: ON
I need to populated a ComboBox and a CheckedListBox with a list of the Windows Accounts on the host computer. I also need to the user to be able to apply settings to the users individually. Thirdly, I need to find a way to add a startup registry key in the CURRENT_USER for a different user than the "Current User" (For example: User1 is an Administrator. User2 is a Limited Account [can't modify registry]. User1 needs to add Registry key to User2's "CURRENT_USER". This is a parental control application so the Admin accounts need to be able to access the registry from all users without affecting all users at once. I do not have any code to paste because I still have not the foggiest idea of where to start. I think it probably has something to do with an array (I have no experience with arrays whatsoever) but I am stumped from there. I'm a new, self-taught programmer so I speak idiot at times,
Summary of Questions
1) How do I retrieve a list of Windows Users?
2) How do I populate the objects above with such a list?
3) How do I interact with the items on that list (specific user accounts)?
4) How do I modify another user's CURRENT_USER Registry key?
Send And Receive Serialized Objects Over A TCP Connection
Jun 7, 2010How can I send and recieve serialized objects over a TCP connection with size and data type values in the header (within array(0) and array(1) values)?I know how to serialize and send the object using BinaryFormatter.Serialize.I dont know how to take the recieved data and put it into an array of bytes().Also - on the receiving end I dont know the size of the object sent therefore I dont know when to stop reading the data stream so I cant use: Dim Obj As ClassName = DirectCast(BinaryFormatter.Deserialize(Stream), ClassName).
View 1 RepliesVS 2010 Properties Set During Design-time Are Not Serialized To Designer File
Aug 22, 2011I am creating a UserControl with rich design-time support that should eventually look like the Options window in Visual Studio (or many other applications). Basically a split container, to the left is a TreeView with 'option categories', and each node in the treeview corresponds to a 'panel' to the right with certain options.
Just for terminology, the nodes in the TreeView are OptionsNode objects, the panels (containing the controls that determine the options) are OptionsPanel controls. My UserControl itself is called OptionsView and is the control that contains the treeview as well as a panel that contains the OptionsPanels.
I have some experience in design-time coding, and I have gotten pretty far. The OptionsView control contains a property Panels that returns the ControlCollection of the right side of the split container. The user can add/remove OptionsPanels via this property (and automatically an OptionsNode is created). The property uses a custom CollectionEditor that tells the designer to create instances of type OptionsPanel (instead of just Control which is the usual collection type of ControlCollection). Furthermore, in the CreateInstance method I use the DesignerHost object and its CreateComponent method to create the panels, instead of just creating New OptionsPanel objects. This way the OptionsPanel created is selectable and editable (via property grid) during design-time:
vb.net
Protected Overrides Function CreateInstance(ByVal itemType As System.Type) As Object
If itemType Is GetType(OptionsPanel) Then

Objects Set To Nothing After Changing Forms?
Dec 19, 2010In form frmAddPlayers I declare and create an array of pictureboxes in the Load event using the code:
Dim
pbxPlayerJoined(7) As
PictureBox
[code]....
In the watch window the value of the pictureboxes is System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox. Later in the load event I start a background worker in form sfrmUSBDevice using the code:
sfrmUSBDevice.sReadWriteThread.RunWorkerAsync()
The background worker waits for user input and then calls a subroutine from form frmAddPlayers. The subroutine changes the image in the picturebox to indicate that the user input has taken place. However when the debugger returns from sfrmUSBDevice to frmAddPlayers the watch window shows that all of the pictureboxes have a value of nothing. Then when I try to change the image of the picturebox I get an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" exception. It seems like when the debugger goes to the sfrmUSBDevice form and comes back to frmAddPlayers the objects on frmAddPlayers have lost their information.

View 2 RepliesChanging Visibility Of Objects Without Using MDI Forms?
Nov 26, 2009Currently my program randomly removes words from a set of text and inserts textboxes below the text. The user can then enter his/her answers in the new textboxes. What I would like to do is set the program so the user can have two choices one being Easy and other being Advanced. Then when the user hits either button it brings up everything that is currently on the form. I'd prefer to do this without having to use MDI forms. I've had a hard time using the MDI forms and therefore would like to avoid using them. They way I was thinking this could work is all objects would remain invisible except for the 2 buttons and then when you hit one of them they disappear and everything else appears.
View 1 RepliesAccess Objects / Properties In An Application From Another DLL
Jan 31, 2006I have an application which is grouped in a MainApplication and serveral Modules (DLL's) The Main Application is basicly a Form with a NavigationBar on the Left Side (like in Outlook 2003) and an MDI-Parent. There is also a Simple Login Routine on this Form. I store the UserName after Loggingn to a Property. The DLL's holds functionallity and Forms for various Sections for example there is a Employee.dll which holds functions and a form to show all Employees.
On Loading of the Main Application I loop trough all dll's in a "Module"-Folder and extract NavigationItems from them which I add to the MainForms NavigationPanel. I don't have a reference to the Modules because I want to make it as flexible as possible so that it is possible to delete a Dll form the Module directory in order to remove the functionality from the MainApplication. The Modules could work also without the MainApplication if they are Complied as an exe insted of DLL of course. This works fine so far.

IDE :: Any Way To Change Default Properties For Different Objects?
Mar 8, 2012Is it possible to change the default properties for different objects in the VB6 IDE (I'm sure any version would be similar, but this is the one we are currently using in my programming class in school). For example, is there anyway that automatically, when I create a Label, that it could already have AutoSize set to false, and BorderStyle to Fixed3D, etc.? I feel as if it would work greatly with the amount of time taken to layout my programs.

VS 2010 Custom Objects And Properties
Nov 13, 2011I'm working on a project where I need to information on all the monitors connected to a computer and then write a configuration file based on that. I can already get the screen information by creating a new instance of screen and reading the information such as index, bounds and everything else.I'm trying to create a virtual screen object to hold the information from the screen so I can work with it, or add other properties to it.[code]This all works perfectly how I want it to. Except I would like to do one more thing. How can I make it so that instead of getting Virtual_Screen.Top, I could get Virtual_Screen.Bounds.Top? That way I could create other properties such as Virtual_Screen.Border.Top..I have no idea how to code, or what that would be called. It's hard to search for something you don't know the name of.

Something Like Operator Overloading For Only Part Of An Objects Properties?
Aug 21, 2009For good reasons I would like to have something like truckA = truckB + truckC where only the loads of the trucks are added, not the license plate numbers. Also I don't really want to return a new object (lots of overhead), just change one or two of the properties. Only thing I can come up with is truckA.Load = truckB.Load + truckC.Load, or at best truckA.Load = truckB + truckC which still doesn't look elegant, and - worse - still requires the creation of a new Load object.(this is just a way of stating my problem; the real objects are quite big and complicated) Currently I have a Sub isSumOf so the code reads TruckA.isSumOf(truckB, TruckC)
View 4 RepliesSorting Objects In Arraylist By One Of The Object's Properties?
Aug 30, 2011I have a group of objects stored in an arraylist. These custom type objects have a number of properties from their underlying class . I want to use one of the properties to sort the array. I cannot determine which Array.Sort method to use.
I want to sort based on an integer property. Virtually every example I can find involves sorting strings.
So, assume the Objects have the following properties.
Obj.name as string
Obj.ID as integer
Obj.Alive as boolean
The objects are kept in an arraylist called FriendsOfMine.
I want to be able to order the list by Obj.ID, both ascending and descending in value.
Starting Properties Of Objects In Winforms Form?
Jun 11, 2012In my software course, each time we submit an assignment, we have to include a document with the starting properties of each object in a form.
E.g.
TextBox1
Location: 241, 115
Name: TextBox1
Size: 100, 20
TabIndex: 0
It's a real pain to scroll through the properties viewer and copy and paste each customised value for 30+ objects on a form... I was wondering if there'd be an easy piece of code or way about getting an (at least partially) automated printout/view of all the properties of the objects.
Was thinking some sort of private sub I could past into the bottom of the program and run on load, that gets all objects, and outputs the non-default properties to a report or something?
Accessing Hidden Properties Of Excel 2007 VBa Objects
Jun 22, 2009I need to migrate from Excel 2003 VBA to Excel 2007 VBA. When Microsoft introduced Excel 2007 it removed many objects from the previous versions and added some new objects. Also it hid some properties of particular objects. These hidden properties can be viewed by going to the object browser, right clicking any object and selecting "Show Hidden Members". My problem is I need to access these hidden properties. Is there any way I can access these properties. I can successfully migrate from Excel 2003 VBa to Excel 2007 VBA with the same functionality?

Showing Properties Of Child Objects In The Property Grid?
Mar 9, 2010I have a custom class (Class1) with a bunch of properties. One of the properties of this class is another custom class (Class2) with its own properties.I have a property grid with the selected object set to Class 1.

Im basically trying to do the exact same thing as the Font Class on a form. If you look at the properties of a form in the designer, you can see the font property. You can then expand that to show the properties of the font class.
Changing A Control's Properties In A Threaded VB Application?
May 11, 2011I am running into an issue with changing properties of controls on a VB.net project that I am working on. The portion of code that I am having trouble with is re-enabling a couple of buttons and a ComboBox after a Threaded operation completes. The point of it is to disable the buttons after clicking the main "run process" type of button (called cmdCrawlSearch) so that the process can run on a new thread while the form is updated with the status. I was able to learn about Thread Safe calls using delegates in order to update the Text property of the TextBox (txtOutput) on the form, and thought that enabling buttons would be just as easy, but when I am trying, I am either getting an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" exception, or an "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation" exception (from the current version of code) with the InnerException being the Object reference exception. I am posting the portions of code related to the issue, then below it is the InnerException name and stack trace. Perhaps I am not using the Delegates correctly (since I still do not fully understand what can and can't be done using a Delegate.) Or there is a better way to do this.

Changing ColumnSpan And RowSpan Properties VS2010
Sep 17, 2010I have a TableLayoutPanel with a Chart in the 2nd column and 3rd row, and it's ColumnSpan and RowSpan properties are set to 1 (the effect is that it takes up about a quarter of the screen). When I click the chart I want it to take up most of the screen. I was thinking that I would have to change it's Column/Row and ColumnSpan/RowSpan properties, but it might be easier to change the Column/Row values of the table itself. My main problem is that I'm just starting off on Visual Studio 2010 coming from VB6 and I have no idea where to access any of these properties.
View 1 RepliesImplementation - Loop To Update Properties Of Each Object Of A Set Of Custom Objects
Jan 4, 2010I am using a loop to update properties of each object of a set of custom objects. The routine knows which controls to update because the controls value is not empty, I don't want the routine setting the corresponding properties to nothing when the control is empty. Now I know how to do this perfectly fine with IF statements such as:
CODE:
But this feels really redundant doing that same IF block over and over for each property/control combination, I thought about creating a separate routine that takes the control as an argument and does all the repetitive IF blocks but I don't know how I could also pass an object property to tell the routine to update that particular property.
