View 2 RepliesI trying create Application for the BMP Constructor, I already write the code in C# but I can't translate it into VB.NET, because its require pointer, and as far as i know, there are no pointer function in vb.net @@ so how I can translate this:
FileStream fs = new FileStream(OJSPathBox.Text, FileMode.Open);
BinaryReader rdr = new BinaryReader(fs);
int width = 555; // its just for example
int height = 555; //its just for example
[code]....
ptr declaration is using Pointer and I throught, there are no unsafe in vb.net, how I can translate to vb.net language?
I have an abstract class which requires a delegate to function. I pass the delegate into the constructor. Now that I have a non default constructor I need to call the abstract class's constructors from the concrete class which means that I need to use MyBase.New(...). I have included a quick example below.
Public MustInherit Class BaseClass
Public Delegate Sub WorkMethod()
Private _Work As WorkMethod
[code]....
I have tried to do this but I keep getting the following error: "Implicit reference to object under construction is not valid when calling another constructor".Can I not do what I am trying to do above? I initially had the delegate setup in its own setter method. But then I am creating a deceptive API because it does require a point to a method to work properly.
How can I create a generic constructor? (ie. BaseClass.FromXml(<param>). I'm not sure how to describe this but I'm trying to create a base class that contains a shared (factory) function called FromXml. I want this function to instantiate an object of the proper type and then fill it via an XmlDocument.
For example, let's say I have something like this: [Code]
I'd like to be able to do something like this:
Dim myObject As CustomObject = CustomObject.FromXml(source)
Is this possible?
what's the rationale behind this limitation: Constructor call is valid only as the first statement in an instance constructor i want to pass an argument to my constructor which validates this argument and calls mybase.new according to this argument but it doesn't let me
example:
Public Class prob
Inherits System.ApplicationException
Public Sub New(ByVal problem As String, ByRef inner_exception As Exception)
[code]....
I have a class inside a class.I need to expose the properties of the 2nd class to other classes, therefore it is public.However, I do not wish other classes to be able to create instances of this 2nd class, it should only be instantitated from its parent class.I thought I could resolve this issue by making the constructor of the 2nd class private, but this even prevents the parent class from instantiating its child class! How can I work around this, do I have to make the constructor public and allow anybody to create an instance of the class?
View 3 RepliesI need to put following code in the Constructor of my startup form.
JohnKenedy.BusinessSQLEXPRInstaller _ins = new JohnKenedy.BusinessSQLEXPRInstaller(" _ <Installation Display Name>", "localhost", "<New database instance name>", _
"<new database name>", "<database password>", "<database backup filename>");
if (_ins.IsDone == false) _ins.ShowDialog();
if (_ins.IsRestart == true) {
Application.Exit();
this.Close();
return;
}
But I really do not know what the Constructor is and how to access it?
I am suppose to call a method and define it from the constructor of a form.
MSDN says this in regards to something im doing.
Whatever, does it mean?
I have a MDI app that I am creating. It, of course, will have multiple MDI child forms. In each child form, I have an options button so that each child form can have it's own set of options. When I click the options button it opens an Options form. This options form is not an MDIChild.
I have a class that contains the child forms options. I pass this class to the options form using a constructor. This is how I call the options form:
Dim dlgPatternOptions As dlgOptions = New dlgOptions(thisPatternOptions)
thisPatternOptions is the class that I am passing to the Options Form.
This works fine and the options form does populate the options correctly. The Options form constructor is this:
Public Sub New(ByRef thePatternOptions As CanvasOptions)
Me.InitializeComponent()
Me.txtCanvasWidth.Text = thePatternOptions.CanvasWidth.ToString
Me.txtCanvasHeight.Text = thePatternOptions.CanvasWidth.ToString
End Sub
I change the options in the options form. How can I get those changes back to the calling form? Do I need to somehow pass a handle of the calling form to the constructor to get the changed values back to the calling form? Is there some way to pass a handle to the options form so that changes made to options will be pushed back to the calling form?
CODE:
This tells me "End of Statement" is expected. I'm trying to instantiate a new form, and I'm trying to pass information into the form that I will use to populate other data fields on the form.
I've tried looking up constructors, but I can't find where my is different than other examples.
I developed an app, tested on few computers and all seemed fine. But now, some people suddenly get an error, which I can't repeat on my computers. Part of the exception:
** Exception Text **
System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'NumoABC.functionsBurtuSummas' threw an exception. ---> System.InvalidOperationException:
The form referred to itself during construction from a default instance, which led to infinite recursion. Within the Form's constructor refer to the form using 'Me.'
at NumoABC.My.MyProject.MyForms.Create__Instance__[T](T Instance) in 17d14f5c-a337-4978-8281-53493378c1071.vb:line 180
at NumoABC.My.MyProject.MyForms.get_MainForm()
[Code] .....
The If Me.Created = False Then is because while the form is loading, some events fire the updatePersonDataHandlers() sub, but I don't want it to happen until form is fully loaded. In the module functionsBurtuSummas line 2
Module functionsBurtuSummas
Private f As MainForm = MainForm
I have many modules who work with the MainForms' controls, so I use a private variable f to refer to the MainForm.
where can I find the default constructor of a windows form? I mean:
Public Sub New()
End Sub
I should say that I Use Visual Studio 2008 as my editor.
I've constructed a custom System.Windows.Forms.Form that requires arguments to New. I want to use one of these as the MainForm in a Windows Forms Application. How do I get the Application Framework to pass those arguments as needed?

View 2 RepliesI have used VB (versions 2 - 6) through many years; however, I am crash-course training myself into the VB2008 / VB2010 world kicking a screaming. I would like suggestions as to what SQL database access method should I focus more on in my learning process without making me feel that I'm a million years behind. I know I have WinForms where I can create a datasourse and drag / drop fields or tables on a form to create a grid (not really what I'm looking for).
My trouble isn't so much designing the form but in how I access the database. Theres XML, LINQ to SQL, ADO.NET, and many other methods. Not only do I need to grasp these methods quickly but I also need to know what type of projects I should create. What I mean is...I was thinking that I would design a WinForm app; however, I see that there are WPF apps and others to chose from. This is getting deep. I know it depends on the project that I'm working on. My plans are to write an app based off of either an SQL Express 2008 or SQL Server 2008 database. This first app will be standalone for now but may later become multi-user. I know I'm far behind on my learning curve coming from VB6. I have read a bit on VB2005 / 2008 / 2010. I own
both VB2008 and VB2010. I use VB2008 at work. I know ADO.NET is still alive but by what I read online, it's a dying method and is only kept for backward compatibility. XML and LINQ to SQL and other methods are all pretty new to me.
Here is the pertinent part of my code:

I tried using the web browser control for the first time.The problem I had was that the size of the web browser defaulted to the size of the form. Even when I tried to downsize the webbrowser ( via properties ) it still filled the entire form. I also tried to drastically increase the size of the form( again via the form's properties ), the web browser still filled the entire form. how to create a form where the web browser only takes up half the space of the form.

I want to create an IMAGELIST in a main form and add to it then have it accessible within a child form. I found several MS examples on database shared access but this is NOT the concept I am after. Straight forward:

So, within the child form it want to do whatever I like to the IMAGELIST! I have tried passing the object by reference and anything I could think of.
I have been making a webbrowser for a while now, everything works well, except i am unable to make the 'open in a new window' button work right.

how to pass value other than from constructor.
In my code....value are usually passed through constructor.
ie everything is declared in constructor and while executing, these values are defined in new object.
