Create Expression Where Delegate Type Is Unknown At Compile Time?
Sep 21, 2011
I have a code below to make collection that bind to a gridview able to sort by clicking on the column header. The problem here is "IPerson" is unknown at compile time. I want the delegate type able to decide by getting from gridview datasource.[code]....
I have a generic Class I'm using to hold information loaded from a database.I have a method which takes a DataRow as an argument, uses the object's known column name and extracts the data from the DataRow, such that:Dim loadData As T = CType(myDataRow("myColumnName"), T))works as my default assignment in most cases.Unfortunately, due to some horrifying design constraints, some of my columns may be null, and may also be taken from enumerations.This means that when <T> is Nullable(Of SomeEnumeration) the above code does not work because I can't cast 0 directly to SomeEnumeration.Zero.Is there some way to check whether <T> is Nullable(Of [Enum])? Or some way to write a method which allows Integers to be cast to Nullable(Of [Enum])?I feel like I'm forgetting something that would allow me to write one of the other of these, but my weak google-fu is turning up nothing.
EDIT: Okay, thanks to dasblinkenlight's answer below, I can detect when this circumstance is occurring, but what I need to do now is to take a type <T> which I know is Nullable(Of SomeClass), get a type reference to SomeClass and then create a new object of type Nullable(Of SomeClass) and assign that to LoadData.My problem was that I had a lot of difficulty in finding any function which would accept baseType as an actual Type.Parse accepted baseType as a parameter, I knew baseType was an [Enum] type because of dasblinkenlight's code, so I was, in this instance, able to code a solution. It's a solution which is very specific to my problem (i.e., T is Nullable(of SomeEnumeration)), but it's a solution nonetheless.
I am a newbie in VB and I got a piece of code which can display the current running program. I need to use that in VB2005 and I got the below error message. Can anyone help how to fix it?[code]
I'm trying to convert a VB6 project to .NET, but I get problems with some callback functions, and the following message comes up: "AddressOf' expression cannot be converted to 'integer' because integer is not a delegate type" I've seen several solutions to similar problems like this, but I am not able to understand this issue with delegates.
After the conversion, the code look like this:
Declare Function vsmsgwSetDataPackageCB Lib "vsmsgwW.dll" (ByVal PACKAGE As Integer, ByRef arg As Integer) As Integer Dim arginitP As Integer
[Code]...
Which gives the error: Method 'Public Function PackageCB(HisNodeID As Integer, ByRef data() As Byte, ByVal length As Integer, ByRef arg As Integer) As Integer' does not have the same signature as delegate 'Delegate Function DelegatePackageCallback(hwnd As Integer, lparam As Integer) As Integer
I have user control which has one button. To handle click event of button I have added following code in usercontrol.
Public Sub ChangeClickHandler(ByVal [Delegate] As EventHandler)
[code]....
Now, I want to handle this click event where I call the this usercontrol. I call the usercontrol through reflection so I get the control in a form of object.
Dim button as object button.ChangeClickHandler(AddressOf mymethod), this line gives me error "'AddressOf' expression cannot be converted to 'Object' because 'Object' is not a delegate type."
I may have a difficult question here. I am working on a Generic class that is meant to work specifically with Enum's. Right now, I get the type of the Generic on instantiation and make sure that it is an Enum and throw an exception if it is not. So:
GenerateTheList is function.Need help Private Sub buttGenerate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles buttGenerate.Click Dim thread1 As New Thread(New ThreadStart(GenerateTheList)) thread1.Start() End Sub
I have a program which use an API. One of the functions of this API has threading.Once I start this function. It will continue reading data and once the data is found, it will pass me the data to a function let's say functionnd I call a delegate functionB from this functionA.And at some point this functionB throw me an error of "Collection was modified; enumeration operation might not execute.".Does anyone know what this mean?I google it and found that this error was caused by "For Each or For" loop.But in my program I don't have any for loop.
VB.Net Public Sub ReadTag(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As TagReadDataEventArgs) Try
Private Sub InsertItemInCache(Of T)(ByVal item As CachedItem(Of T), ByVal dependency As AggregateCacheDependency, _ ByVal key As String, ByVal updateCallBack As CacheItemUpdateCallback)
I am Creating a Lambda Expression, but it' not getting me the write Out put :
Public Class Form1 Delegate Function GetLastChar(ByVal S As String) As String Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[code]....
I want Send a Name like "Arindam" and its return me "m", the last character.but in messagbox return value shows "fasle" I can't under stand why it's showing "False" instead of "m", the last character.
I am having a generic ListOf-collection holding the self-created User-object, I can filter for users by using lambda-expression like this: Dim reviewers As List(Of User) = users.Where(Function(u) u.DvRoleID = 2).ToList
Instead of using the lambda expression I can also write the function and call it as argument like this: Public Function GetReviewer1(ByVal u As User) As Boolean If u.DvRoleID = 2 Then Return True [Code] .....
Now the question: why can't I create a delegate having the same signature as the GetReviewer1 function and use the delegate as argument inside the where-clause like this: Delegate Function Criteria(ByVal u As User) As Boolean Public Function GetReviewer1(ByVal u As User) As Boolean If u.DvRoleID = 2 Then [Code] ..... The compiler does not accept the crit delegate as argument.
public delegate UsernameCredentials UsernameRequiredEventHandler( object sender, string endpoint ); public event UsernameRequiredEventHandler UsernameRequired;
On Converting the above code in VB.Net as follow :
Public Delegate Function UsernameRequiredEventHandler(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal endpoint As String) As UsernameCredentials Public Event UsernameRequired As UsernameRequiredEventHandler
I am getting error on the above line saying that "Events cannot be declared with a delegate type that has a return type".I understand that this is not supported in VB.Net.
I have a Linq-to-SQL class diagram in my web application containing the two tables in my database (held in a DBPro database project in the same solution). All was working fine yesterday. I start doing some work tonight and note that the solution compiles fine in Visual Studio, but when I run the web app I get a compilation error:
Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately. Compiler Error Message: BC30002: Type 'FrostAlertDatabaseDataContext' is not defined.
I am create a mysql table with TIME Data type fields. Like FROMTIME and TOTIME. And some insert data to that table. And that data is view through DataGridView. I can show all data in DATAGRIDVIEW. But, Have a error data, when current row click time ( Error data is : DataGridViewTextCell {ColumnIndex=0,RowIndex=0}.
I am trying to create a Sub that can take an object and add a load of event handlers for it, but the object can be any one of N types that all have these events. How can I do this? If I just have it as an Object as below AddHandler complains that the event does not exist for Object.
Rather than giving the very specific case (which I did earlier), let me give a general example. Let's say that I have a function, called callingFunction. It has one parameter, called parameter. Parameter is of an unknown type. Let us then say that I wish to copy this parameter, and return it as a new object. For example, in pseudo code, something along the lines of...
[Code]...
EDIT: Additional Information The first time I posted this question, I received only one response - I felt that perhaps I made the question too specific. I guess I will explain more, I have an ASP page with 10 tables on it. I am trying, using the VB code behind, to come up with a single solution to add new rows to any table. When the user clicks a button, a generic "add row" function should be called.
The difficulty lies in the fact that I have no guarantee of the contents of any table. A new row will have the same contents as the row above it, but given that there are 10 tables, 1 row could contain any number of objects - text boxes, check boxes, etc. So I want to create a generic object, make it of the same type as the row above it, then add it to a new cell, then to a new row, then to the table.
I have problem in my application when updating 3 items otherwise it is as good as work. The problem is when updating the username to the access database an error showing that "Datatype mismatch" when updating the date and time field an error occurs and tells that the "Unknown field type". This is my code where bold faced lines have errors:
Dim objCmd As OleDb.OleDbCommand = New OleDb.OleDbCommand() objCmd.Connection = con.con 'Make a command to insert data
I have recently moved from VB 2003 to VB 2005. While I am finding a lot of the new features quite useful, I am having trouble with List (of T). I want to be able to do something like this
Function GetList(MyObjectType as Type) as datatable Dim list as new List(of MyObjectType) End Function Function GetList(MyObjectType as String) as datatable Dim list as new List(of GetType(MyObjectType)) End Function
VB 2005 does not allow me to do this at all. Must the "type of" be srongly declared at all times? Can't this be done dynamically?
I'm trying to create a generic function to build a Linq expression from a list of Telerik grid filters. I'm trying to stay clear of dynamic Linq. Because I don't know the type that I'm building the expression for, I'm attempting to use reflection in the lambda functions to refer to a property, but after applying the fix suggested by @JaredPar I get the error, "The LINQ expression node type 'Invoke' is not supported in LINQ to Entities." Is there any way around this? here is my code:
Public Shared Function buildRadFilter(Of T)(ByVal filterExpression As List(Of GridFilterExpression)) As Expressions.Expression(Of Func(Of T, Boolean)) Dim returnPred = PredicateBuilder.True(Of T)()
I have written a function to generate a random string with specified length. In that I have used 'Random' function. when I have executed it, it is throwing an unhandled exception.Please suggest me some solution. Below is the code I have used:
I have recently updated a legacy compact framework application to support Windows Mobile 6.5 but after going through my backwards compatability testing I have an issue with the WinCE 5 device.When attempting to run the application from both the EXE and the debugger I get the "An unhandled exception of type 'System.TypeLoadException' occurred in Unknown Module." exception but its not giving me any idea which dll / type it has issue with.The changes do work on the Windows Mobile 6.5 Motorola device and the Pocket PC 2003 Psion Device but not on the WinCE5 Psion device.Does anyone have any ideas how I can find out which reference is causing me the issue. I have tried removing the new references to the Symbol barcoding and imaging libraries but I am still getting the same error.OK, it looks like the .Net Compact Framework installation had corrupted some how. I flattened the device, reinstalled and everything appears to be working.
I'm trying to check if a LINQ Entity exists in its table, but at design time I dont know what type that entity is. So I figure I'll just get the table, and try the Contains method on it. But I cant get the table in such a way that I can query it at design time.I've tried the GetTable method on the datacontext, but I dont know how to cast it to the appropriate type when using GetTable(Of). GetTable(Type) works, I just use Entity.GetType(), but then I don't know how to query the ITable thats returned.To try and cast the ITable to something useable, I created an interface(IWhatever) that could implement properties that are native to all of my entities I would encounter.

from the documentation we have this: Multicast Delegate: Represents a multicast delegate; that is, a delegate that can have more than one element in its invocation list.
so am i right to say that Multicast delegate is no different from a normal delegate other than the fact that it has arguments. so System.Action is a 'normal' delegate whereas System.Action(T)(Byval obj as T) is a multicast delegate?
