CodeDOM, VBCodeProvider And MustOverride Property?
May 27, 2007I'm having trouble with CodeDOM and the VBCodeProvider.I want to generate an abstract class with a MustOverride ReadOnly Property.

View 3 RepliesDoes microsoft have documentation on how to use VBCodeProvider and codedom or any .net book that provide detail on how to use it. i tried to use it to compile program on the fly but never work. It always gives me an errors such as path to the string or file not found.
View 11 RepliesI'd like to have a Private or Protected "Setter" for a property that also happens to be an abstract (MustOverride). I'm porting some code from C# to VB and in C# this is pretty straight forward. In VB not so much (for me anyway).
Some code...
In C#...
public abstract class BaseClassWithAnAbstractProperty
{
public abstract int AnAbstractIntegerProperty { get; protected set; }
}

The issue seems to be the inability to flesh-out the Get/Set specifics in the declaration.
Is it possible to force the inherited classes to implement a set of New() constructors? I tried with this, but it doesn't work:
MustOverride Sub New()
MustOverride Sub New(Arg1 as Integer)
MustOverride Sub New(Arg1 as String)
i tried to compile assemblyInfo.vb with my source code so that i can i have the information with the output.The project was compiled without the AssemblyInfo.vb. So please, if you know the error from the code below let me know.Dim source2 as string=Application.StartupPath & "assemblyInfo.vb"Dim source1 as string=Application.StartupPath & "Form1.vb"cp.CompilerOptions = source1 source2/target:winexe"
View 3 RepliesI am having difficulty dynamically compiling a DLL for use with Silverlight 3.0. My goal is to take some rules provided by my users and compile them into a DLL for custom editing purposes.I created a Silverlight class library project in Visual Studio to get the command line for compiling a Silverlight class library. Based on that and the many examples for compiling VB using the VBCodeProvider, I came up with the following method for comping code in a string to a DLL:
Public Function Compile(ByVal code As String, ByVal assemblyName As String) As CompilerResults
' set the compiler parameters
Dim parameters As CompilerParameters = New CompilerParameters()
parameters.OutputAssembly = assemblyName
[code]....
This does not compile with the following error:vbc : Command line (0,0) : error BC2010: compilation failed : 'Member 'IsNumeric' cannot be found in class 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.Information'. This condition is usually the result of a mismatched 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll'.'
I've looked and, in fact, the Silverlight version of the class Microsoft.VisualBasic.Information does not contain member IsNumeric. So I appear to be picking up the correct libraries using the sdkpath option. But I have no idea why I'm trying to call that method in the first place.how to successfully compile source code dynamically into a Silverlight compatible class library?
Here is my code
Dim provider = New Microsoft.VisualBasic.VBCodeProvider()
Dim parser = provider.CreateParser()
parser is always Nothing. I know the Method CreateParser is obsoleted. How to create a VB code parser?
I'm trying to dynamically compile some VB code in my C# project and I'm running into an issue with the VBCodeProvider. It doesn't seem to be honoring the OptionInfer flag that I'm putting in the providerOptions Dictionary.
My code looks like this:
var providerOptions = new Dictionary<string, string>();
providerOptions.Add("CompilerVersion", "v3.5");
providerOptions.Add("OptionInfer", "True");
var provider = new VBCodeProvider(providerOptions);
I set my CompilerParameters.TreatWarningsAsErrors to True, and I get the following error:
Variable declaration without an 'As'clause; type of Object assumed. However, all is well when I put the "Option Infer On" text at the top of my dynamic source code. Am I using the wrong providerOptions key or value? Is there some other setting somewhere else?
We have a large application that implements "scripting" (i.e, dynamically compiled user code that can include user-defined .dll references).

What does the 128 error code mean ? The version of vbc.exe used is the one in the .NET 2 (SP2) folder. Forcing the compiler to work in a new dedicated temp directory does not help (we update TMP and TEMP env variable on runtime, we checked that each vbc use a dedicated temporary folder based on process id and some static counter)

Why is the VBCodeProvider.Parse method in VS2005 not implemented? Is there an equivalent function?
View 2 RepliesI just realized I used my non-partner account the first time, and I want to make sure I receive priority support. In addition, I found out more about my problem and made a much clearer example.Basically I'm having problems getting a dynamically compiled vb.net "script" to find external references (even though they are being added by fully qualified path). I also tried adding /libpath to my compiler options, and still it cannot find the assemblies.[URL]..
And here is a reference to my original post (with not-so-easy to understand code snippets):[URL]..
VB.NET 2008 .NET 3.5 I have two base classes that are MustInherit (partial). Let's call one class OrderBase and the other OrderItemBase. specific type of order and order item would inherit from these classes. Let's call these WebOrder (inherits from OrderBase) and WebOrderItem (inherits from OrderItemBase).
Now, in the grand scheme of things WebOrder is a composite class containing a WebOrderItem, like so:

Are there any alternatives to Codedom? THe reason I am asking is because Codedom is not letting me use pointers(unsafe code) which is a must in my project. I have hear of the System.emit namespace though.
View 2 RepliesOkay Is there a way In vb.net to create an exe from a predefined script, for example rather than writting the methods and subs into the codedom code could I just have a textbox that I could put a script into and then have that built? (obviously omitting button presses and things.)
Im not worrying about ui's at the moment just and exe (hello world style )
Are there any tutorials for this?
Code: None
I'm trying to see if Codedom can handle strings and concantination between different languages, without me setting up conditional strings per language.For example, I need to generate the following exactly as shown below in both C# and VB.NET via Codedom:
C#
errorMsg = errorMsg.Replace('"', ''').Replace("
", @"
");
System.Windows.Browser.HtmlPage.Window.Eval("throw new Error("Unhandled Error in Silverlight Application " + errorMsg + "");");
[code]....
The CodeMethodInvokeExpression for errorMsg.Replace and System.Windows.Browser.HtmlPage.Window.Eval is simple enough, it's the string inside them that I can't figure out if Codedom can automatically handle.
I'm trying to make an application, Where users can insert code, and it will compile a form for me. so like the user inserts

system.net.mail
'user can define the imports

I essentially took this and played around with it url...If i build a codedom like the msdn link shows i can generate cs and vb code. However if i read cs or vb code back and try to generate the source in the other language i just get whatever code i originally read from (you'll see cs code in the vb file and vice versa).How do i read in source from one language and generate it to another?
View 1 Replies[code]I already had to add in bits to the example code to actually name the property to match their example output, I suspect that there is a detail missing that is causing this, but I can't seem to track it down? Whilst the code compiles, I'm unable to use the properties without manually adding in the parameters, which defeats the purpose somewhat.
View 1 RepliesOk how do I add a text file to a codedom executable?
I don't mean adding a resource file like this ".resources"
I mean adding a textfile to the already existing resources.
The following is a program that lets users store business logic for later retrieval by other users.
I am trying to run multiple logical statements pulled from sql server database. one statement may be dependent on another one. I've been compliling the code in a wrapper and In-Memory set to True. I ran 18 logical statements in a loop and it took approx 3 seconds to run. These were simple one line statements containging math and/or If Then's.
Any other methods available out there. please no 3rd party plug-ins.
Is there a way to use CodeDom to generate an overloaded operator in Vb.net? I want to generate this:
Public Shared Operator =(ByVal x As MyType, ByVal y As MyType) As Boolean
Return x Is y
End Operator
The closest hack I can think of to do this the following:
Dim eq As New CodeMemberMethod()
eq.Name = "Operator ="
eq.Parameters.Add(New CodeParameterDeclarationExpression(New CodeTypeReference("MyType"), "x"))[code]....
Which generates this, close but obviously wrong:
Public Shared Function Operator =(ByVal x As MyType, ByVal y As MyType) As Boolean
Return (x Is y)
End Function

If no one could help me perhaps does anyone have a simple source example?
in CodeDom you can add a resource with EmbeddedResources like this:

there is an example from MSDN: 1 solution - 2 projects: service and client like this: service:
<ServiceContract()> _
Public Interface ICalculator
<OperationContract()> _
Function Openserv(ByVal n1 As Integer) As Boolean
[code]....
but the client make an exception "timeout expired"... how can I make it work? maybe use something else instead netpipebinding? I can rewrite this on C#, if it will help. how to call from generated assembly another sub of generates it class?
