Collections - Specifically About The Request.Cookies Object
Sep 20, 2010
I have a question specifically about getting the current cookies set to a particular visitor on an ASP.NET webpage. I understand you need to use Request.Cookies - and by default it returns a collection of all cookies set, as an HTTPCookieCollection. However, the MSDN documentation states that you do: Request.Cookies("Username") as an example, in order to fetch an individual cookie and then compare whether it is set, etc. All fine and dandy but why adding parentheses and a string does the type suddenly change to
HTTPCookie.
I understand HTTPCookie is for dealing with individual cookies and HTTPCookieCollection is for dealing with multiple cookies at a time for like iteration purposes, etc., but I don't understand when on the MSDN documentation it explicitly states that the Request.Cookies property (the Cookies property) is of type HTTPCookieCollection, and if you do what I explained it changes the type (I can see this from IntelliSense) and it does not state this happens in the MSDN documentation. I'm not asking about the MSDN documentation lol, but why this happens when adding the parentheses and a string denoting the cookie name. I'm still pretty new to Visual Basic. By the way, I'm doing this all in Visual Web Developer although using VB as the language of choice.
I'm writing a program in VB.NET, and I'm having trouble with my httpwebrequest code. I've used live HTTP headers for firefox to get the correct post data, but for some reason it won't login.The thing is, I've used identical code for another similar site (changing just the post data) and it works just fine.
I have an class named Foo. This class contains a collection of child objects of type FooChildBase, but I also have a further class of type FooChildTwo which inherits from FooChildBase.
Class Foo Public Children As IList(Of FooChildBase) End Class Class FooChildBase
[code]....
What I would like to do is have my FooSpecial Class treat it's Children collection as if they were FooChildSpecial objects, but still be able to add FooChildTwo objects to it. Is this possible and if so how can it be done?
EDIT:I need to FooChildSpecial class to wrap any of the objects in the Children collection with the extra values, whether they are FooChildBase or FooChildTwo?

I have a program that will download files from a company website given a list of links. The site requires authentication, and I do have code that will set the authentication cookie in the request header. I get the authentication cookie from a Perl script we have. What I would love to do is have my vb .net program get the authentication cookie based on my username and password. The perl script goes to the following link:
[URL]
The it reads the cookie out of the response. Here is the code I have, but my cookie count always comes back at zero. :(
Dim cookieJar As New Net.CookieContainer() Dim cookie As New Net.Cookie Dim req As Net.HttpWebRequest
My colleague and I have recently upgraded our projects from .NET Framework 1.0 and VS2002 to .NET Framework 2.0 and VS2005. We also applied the latest VS2005 service pack.
Our problem: normally when debugging we use the QuickWatch window to drill down into and view collections of objects belonging to the parent object we are "watching". THIS NO LONGER WORKS...instead, we get a message in the value line against the object collection saying:"In order to evaluate an indexed property, the property must be qualified and the arguments must be explicitly supplied by the user."This is incredibly frustrating, particularly when we have large nested collections of objects.We are pretty sure this feature was working fine after we upgraded, but we are not so sure that it was working after we applied the VS2005 service pack.
I have a VB.NET project where I am able to iterate through the keys and values collections of a dictionary object using an index:
MyDictionary.Keys(idx) MyDictionary.Values(idx)
When this code is taken from the test project and placed into the real project I get the following error:
'System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary(Of Double, String).KeyCollection' cannot be indexed because it has no default property.[code]...
In the line in sub search that says "dtf.Keys(idx) = 0" place your cursor after the right parenthesis and backspace you should get a tooltip that says, "<Extension> ElementAtOrDefault(index as Integer) as Double - index: the zero based element of the index to retrieve.
I have these objects:[code]Using LINQ I need to take a List(Of MakeInfo) and a List(Of ModelInfo) and aggregate the StockInfo from ModelInfo into the List(Of MakeInfo).So for each MakeInfo I will have a total count of all stock where MakeInfo.Name = ModelInfo.Make, and also a minimum price.I think it's going to be something like this, but I'm having trouble accessing the nested object and not sure if it's going to be possible with a single query.[code]
I need to get the host out of the Request object. Which property should I use and why?
From MSDN:Uri.DnsSafeHost Property A String that contains the unescaped host part of the URI that is suitable for DNS resolution; or the original unescaped host string, if it is already suitable for resolution.
vs
Uri.Host Property A String that contains the host name. This is usually the DNS host name or IP address of the server.
My testing has been with the ASP.NET Development Server. Both of these always return localhost. Even when I put in 127.0.0.1, both return localhost.Reading on, the DnsSafeHost property will handle IPv6 addresses, as well as Unicode to ASCII conversion if needed. It can also account for IRI and IDN. Even though I currently don't care about these things, should I just use the DnsSafeHost property to be safe?
its possible to set the webbrowser cookies as same than httprequest cookies.

I have a need for a button to take the user back to their previous page.Because of how this page is accessed, the only way to do this is with javascript using history.back()
This part works perfectly apart from the fact when a user goes to click a button on the page they have gone to back to, I get the error that Request.QueryString is not supported in this context.I'm guessing the Request object is lost when javascript is directing the user to the previous page.I cannot use Request.UrlReffer either because the the nature of the back button. (it causes a loop at times).
I have a series of API calls that are returning J# data types. I have been able to convert most of the data types (Integer, Boolean, Double, Float, etc) just fine.What I need to do now is convert a java.Util.Collection to a VB .NET collection (ArrayList)
Here is my attempt:
Public Function MakeDotNETCollection(ByVal javaCol As java.util.Collection) As Collection Dim dotNetCol As Collection

I keep getting a runtime error "Unable to cast object of type 'AbstractListlistIterator' to type 'System.Collections.IEnumerator.
I am constructing a collection of objects, and need to use inheritance on a base class - I have been trying for hours in various ways and can't get this to work whatsoever - the error is always "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." The idea in the example below is that an object is instantiated, and within that lies a collection of Students when I try to access the oDemo.Students(0).Name property the error is raised. Otherwise the object appears to have instantiated OK.Here is the code being used to instantiate and access the class (from ASP.NET).
Dim oDemo As New MyDemo.Students lblTest.Text = oDemo.Student(0).Name Here is the sample code from the class library:
I am using Visual Studio 2005 and am writing a SSIS package. In the package I have a VB.Script that looks at a directory on a server and creates a list of the files. I then have a store Proc that looks at a table and gets a list of files that matches the files in the first array. The result is a fullresultset. The next step I need to create a 3rd array that only contains the rows from the first that are not in the second. However, I am getting the following error. Error: The script threw an exception: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Object' to type 'System.Collections.ArrayList'.
What's really the point in using the former?It's hard to use linq if I used the former. I have to convert that to an array first which is difficult because there is no (asarray) function.I think I would change all of my code that's using System.
Collections.Specialized.StringCollection to System.Collections.Generic.List(Of String)
I have created a Dictionary class (MyDictionary for the example). I am currently trying to pass MyDictionary into a function, filter it into a new instance of MyDictionary and pass this new instance into another method. When I am attempting to create the second instance from the filtered first instance of MyDictionary via Lambda Expressions and the ToDictionary Method, I am getting the following error:
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.Int32,System.String]' to type 'MyDictionary'. I have simplified the example and recreated it in LINQPad and am getting the same error.
I am calling a Fortran DLL from Vb.Net. I am declaring this in the class and then I am calling the DLL. I made this Fortran DLL from a Fortran Exe code. If I just use the exe code of the Fortran program I get different values than if I use Fortran DLL. First I thought may be there is a delay, so I used Sleep() before the end of the loop. But this does not change the values I am getting. I don;t understand why the results are different in exe and DLL, since I made DLL using the same exe code. I am not sure if the DLL is completely exited before it called again. Below is the code (partial).

I have recently started using Request("key") instead of Request.QueryString("key") to access my querystring values. However I have read that:
'Gets the specified object from the System.Web.HttpRequest.Cookies, System.Web.HttpRequest.Form, System.Web.HttpRequest.QueryString, System.Web.HttpRequest.ServerVariables'
Therefore, if I have a querystring key and cookie key which are the same, which value is returned?
I have a bunch of old VB.NET code, written originally on VS2005, and now I no longer have the license. I downloaded VS2010 free edition, and I just want to apply a relatively minor patch to an assembly/DLL. This particular DLL is being used by an existing Windows service (also written in VB.NET), and it's the server side implementation of a TCP remoting implementation.
So I need my patched code to be compatible with it all of this. When I naively tried to just build under VS2010, drop the DLL in place, and restart the service, it bails with some error about bad magic number or something. (I'm assuming because it's .NET 3.0 and the .NET 2.0 runtime has no idea how to deal with that).
Sorry for the long lead up, but I'm hoping there's some way in VS to say, 'build this as a .NET 2.0 assembly'. If this isn't possible, what are my options?
I am using 3 unbound DataGridView controls to display certain information. To load the information into those DGVs, I am pulling the information from an encrypted file, decrypting it, parsing the information, then trying to fill the DGVs with that information. The loading from the file is called by the menu item click. Here is what I have so far:
Private Sub miCLoad_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles miCLoad.Click Dim FilePath As String = "C:FListCList.clt"
I am trying to retrieve the Attributes of a class's property specifically. So for example. Let's say I have a class called "Employee", and a custom attribute called CustomLabelAttribute with a string value. What would I need to do to retrieve the value of CustomLabelAttribute for Employee.FirstName specifically? I assume I will need to use reflection, but it's kind of new to me, and I've just recently started using it on any level.
I was able to create programs way back year 2006 specifically using VB6, however, the line of work that I've been to and currently in to is not related to programming at all. I was not able to constantly hone my programming skills and I wasn't able to adjust in today's latest updates. Now, step by step I am trying to rebuild myself. I would like to ask the guidance of all those experienced members here, if you may.
So basically, i have 2 int variables, x and y i am using to create a grid of pictureboxes.This is all fluid and built on runtime.I am trying to specifically change the picturebox on click if mine = 2.I cannot specifically change one, when i click any, it changes all of them.
Heres my code:
Public Class Form1 Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form Dim images(8) As Image 'declares image array
