I'm trying to create a new instance of a Dictionary(Of String, ??) based on a ItemType variable I have. How do I construct the DictType so that I can use Activator to create an Instance of the type I'm after?
Dim ItemType As Type ' Data type of dictionary value
Dim DictType As Type = ???? ' Dictionary(of String, ItemType)
Dim NewDict = Activator.CreateInstance(DictType)
I have some code that runs within a multithreaded class.Basically i create many threads which contain instance of this class.Within this class i create an object to either a vb6 or .net dll using reflection, then i call a method within that object. The object that gets called can be different every time.But for some reason even through i have multiple threads going when i get to the Activator.CreateInstance it is no longer multithreaded. I want to catch the error returned and put it in a log.
If UCase(pRow("TypeVB6").ToString()) = "TRUE" Then
classType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID(ClasstoInstantiate, True)
Else

how might I redo this method with Activator.CreateInstance

I have a type (Human) and I want to know if I could do System.Activator.CreateInstance(Of Human)(). So basically I want to check if Human has a public parameterless constructor / or a public constructor with optional parameters that make it possible to call New Human without giving any arguments.Is it possible to check beforehand if ystem.Activator.CreateInstance(Of T) will fail? (I mean other than wrapping the statement System.Activator.CreateInstance(Of Human)() in a Try Catch of course..)I've tried this but it doesn't work:

Is there any sort of API for google dictionary or dictionary.com (note: i have tried the google API but that does not support dictionary!!!) or some way to download the information from those sites? i will be using this in a bigger program (a very basic chatbot) so the definition has to be able to easily be output to a string or textbox!!!
note: i have asked mr.google many a time but all the responses are not what i want! and i dont want to have to manually write my OWN dictionary (i.e. writing in each specific word and definition)
I'm trying to put together a plugins system with .NET, and I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly. The basis of the system is that a specific directory ({apppath}/Plugins/) will have a bunch of precompiled DLLs, and I want to look through each one with reflection, and for every class available, if it inherits a specific base class (this is defined in yet another DLL, but I'll go into that later), then create an instance of it and call a specific function in said instance.
Public Sub ScanPluginsInDirectory(ByVal Directory As String)
Dim Plugins As New IO.DirectoryInfo(Directory)
Dim Files As IO.FileInfo() = Plugins.GetFiles("*.dll")

The specific problem I have is, I'm not sure this is the right way to do this. Would the method I'm trying to do work, if it can be assumed that A.Plugin() actually exists and any structures and classes referenced here are bug-free?

I'm attempting to create a customized dictionary object, because I want to add some code to the Add routine, and I can't just inherit because Add is not overridable.
So I'm creating a class that implements IDictionary. Already I am confused, because Dictionary implements a lot of interfaces, listed below:
Implements IDictionary(Of TKey, TValue), ICollection(Of KeyValuePair(Of TKey, TValue)), _
IEnumerable(Of KeyValuePair(Of TKey, TValue)), IDictionary, ICollection, _
IEnumerable, ISerializable, IDeserializationCallback
But IDictionary inherits ICollection and IEnumerable, so why implement all three (and don't they have overlapping methods)?
#2, when I implement IDictionary, the code fills in two Add methods (one for the ICollection add of a keyvaluepair, one for the Idictionary method). Apparently both these add methods are required for Idictionary, yet a regular dictionary (which implements IDictionary) only has one Add method that I can see. I actually would like to have only one Add method if possible. Why am I being asked to make two (and that's before all the other interfaces have been added)?
I was trying to create a generic Dictionary that implements IXmlSerializable (credit to Charles Feduke).
Here is my trial:
Sub Main()
Dim z As New SerializableDictionary(Of String, String)
z.Add("asdf", "asd")

I have a function that has an optional dictionary argument. Since it's optional, it needs a default value, and I'd like to set it to an empty dictionary instead of Nothing. How do I go about that?

View 11 RepliesI want to group items from a linq query under a header, so that for each header I have a list of objects that match the header title. I assumed the solution would be to use ToDictionary to convert the objects, but this allows only one object per "group" (or dictionary key). I assumed I could create the dictionary of type (String, List Of()), but I can't figure out how to write it. As an example I have written a simplified version below.

I have the following object:
countDictionary As Dictionary(of Category, Dictionary(of Date, Integer))
The Class has a Enumeration Property. For the purposes of demonstration, I'll call it MasterCategory.I have been trying to get out an object that looks like the following:
groupedCountDictionary As Dictionary(of MasterCategory, Dictionary(of Date, Integer)
The best result I could get was:
Lookup(of MasterCategory, Dictionary(of Date, Integer))
From:
countDictionary.ToLookup(Function(o) o.Key.MasterCategory, Function(o) o.Value)
Which results in a IEnumerable (Of Dictionary(of Date, Integer)) for each MasterCategory value.However, I need that IEnumerable of Dictionary flattened to one dictionary with all the integers summed (total counts) for each date. I then tried to use various selects and group bys (from numerous stackoverflow posts) to "flatten" it, but my efforts have fallen short.
Current Code
[Category Class]
- MasterCategory As Enum
- Name As String etc

I am working on an ASP.Net 3.5 solution that I did not originally build. I added a class file named Incident.vb to the App_Code folder like I always do.But in my code behind of a web page, I usually create an instance of a class like:
Dim oIncident as New Incident
But after I type "New", normally I would see my class file he intellisense but I do not. So it does not seem to be able to find Incident.vb. I have not seen this behavior before. Trust me, my class is correct. I have created many class files like this.[code]...

View 2 RepliesI am trying to create an instance of a control to copy it.
Dim NewPanel As New Panel1
Is not working. When you create an instance like this, the "Panel1" wont show up in the list of classes, so it says "Panel1 is not defined".I have heard of control arrays dissappeared in VB2008,but still,is there any way to create a new instance / copy an already existing control or let a control appear like it was when you made it in VB so you can open multiple Panels like they are child forms?
EDIT: I know you can do:
Dim newPanel As New Panel
newPanel = Panel1
Form1.Controls.Add(newPanel)
..but that's not what I want, because that makes you can't edit the controls inside the new panel.

if i create an instance of an object/webpage, is that a complete new object/page based on the original or does it does it just make it accessible? i am almost sure that it creates a new object/page but i would like confirmation. in other words what is the result of this code?
dim Page2 as new Page1
dim Page3 as new Page1
would this create 2 new pages that i can "customize" separately and add different controls to each? heres a brief description of what i want to happen:the user will be viewing Page1 and when he clicks btnCreate i want a page that i created in the designer to be shown and its name and other variables to be determined by what the user chose for room options in Page1. i need "new versions" of this page to be created because multiple users will be creating multiple rooms. i understand that there are more lines of code involved in creating pages and i do have more questions regarding those but i will wait until i confirm that dim Page2 as new Page1 will create a new page. like i said im sure that this does create a new page but i need confirmation. also if it does create a new page, how do i get it to show. i know that response.redirect will redirect me to a dif page but i want show this new room on top of the old one.

View 1 RepliesI'm working through a book that does not provide a lot of example code and what it does provide is in C#. The book refs vs 2005 but I'm using vs2008. The author asks for the user to create a solution with two projects, one winforms and the other a class library (called DependentAssm). The class library is added as a reference to the winforms project In the class library, he asks one to create a new class called SayHelloComp. The project created a file called class1.vb, and a class called class1 which I renamed to SayHelloComp. I left the file name alone, that's ok right?
View 4 RepliesSo I get thrown an exception right when I try to create a new instance of my Web Service that says:
"Could not find default endpoint element that references contract 'KBBVehicleService.IVehicleInformationService' in the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching this contract could be found in the client element."
This is a web service that will connect to Kelley Blue Book. I know I need a new endpoint entry in my Web.Config, but what does this look like? The one I added looks like this:
<endpoint address="http://localhost:3300/KBB.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_Default" contract="Services.Client.IVehicleInformationService"/>
But it doesn't work. Still throws the same exception at the same place.
