.net - Casting DataTypes With DirectCast, CType, TryCast?
Apr 24, 2010Ever since I moved from VB6 to VB.NET somewhere in 2005, I've been using CType to do casting from one data type to another. I do this because it is simply faster to type, used to exist in VB6 and I do not know why I have to be using DirectCast if there is apparently no difference between them.I use TryCast once in a while because I understand that sometimes casting can fail. I however cannot get the difference between CType and DirectCast.

View 2 RepliesRounding Up Decimal Numbers To The Nearest 2 Decimal Places?
Apr 17, 2010How would I go about rounding up decimal numbers to the nearest 2 decimal places? For example $7.0000032 would be $7.01 In theory, VB would make it $7.00 but if it is > $7.00, I want it to reflect that to the nearest penny... so $3.0000001 would be $3.01
View 5 RepliesHow To CType() Returns Value
Jul 7, 2010have a look at this code Dim colors() As KnownColor = CType(System.Enum.GetValues(GetType(KnownColor)), KnownColor()) Since CType is a function that returns DataType ,But here as in the code it seems that CType() is returning array having values that is assigned to color() array. How this is happening?

This works but it adds a lot of noise to the code and it seems like the Enum is already defined as an Integer, making me think, why do I have to assign it again?

Difference Between DirectCast() And CType() In .Net?
Jun 16, 2010I am an experienced C/C++/C# programmer who has just gotten into VB.NET. I generally use CType (and CInt, CBool, CStr) for casts because it is less characters and was the first way of casting which I was exposed to, but I am aware of DirectCast and TryCast as well. Simply, are there any differences (effect of cast, performance, etc.) between DirectCast and CType? I understand the idea of TryCast.

Dec 13, 2009I turned option strict on, wich gave me some errors. The errors are quite easy to fix, but it seems like there are several ways of doing things.

View 4 RepliesVS 2008 Using CType And UIntPtr?
Jul 16, 2010Assume that I have this declaration (according to MSDN):
Private Declare Function PostMessage Lib "user32" ( _
ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, _
ByVal wMsg As UInteger, _
[code]....
And this is how I use it:
PostMessage(hWnd, 516, CType(2, UIntPtr), CType(0, UIntPtr))
Option Strict is turned On. So the questions are:
1. Do I need to use UIntPtr in declaration or it will be better to use UInteger?
2. Do I need to use CType function in these cases or there is a better way for this or I need to avoid declaring pointers?
VS 2010 Can't Use Arrays With CType
Oct 25, 2011does your IDE ever get amnesia?in the line before it is clearly defined.in the following line it is not.Maybe it's a faulty translation from Tangible Software.the C example i'm looking at:
IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* newNode = (IAnimatedMeshSceneNode*) oldNode->clone();
translated as:
Dim newNode As IAnimatedMeshSceneNode = CType(oldNode.clone(), IAnimatedMeshSceneNode)
had to make a dummy for it because i can't use arrays with CType.
.net - Correct C# Conversion Counterpart For VB's CTYPE()
Jul 12, 2010The below is a snippet from VB that I am porting to a C# rewrite. My question is what is receipt_date after the assignment? Is it still an object or is it a string?
Dim receipt_date As Object
receipt_date = CType(dr.Item("RECTDT"), String)
Would this be the correct C# counterpart?
object receipt_date;
receipt_date = dr["RECTDT"].ToString();
After both of these execute would the VB version, receipt_date be equal to the C# version?
