I'm making a call to my DLL file (prototyping 30+ functions), and want to be able to switch between different versions of the DLL quickly while in development. Thus, i want to replace the literal string constant that follows the "Lib" key word, with a variable string constant. In case there's any confusion in my use of the jargon. I am currently able to do this:
[Code]...
Public Class Form1
Private

I am developing an application which initially allows the user to browse and select a save location. The selected path is assigned to a public variable which is used with concatenation to crate folder for saving user input data. How can I change the path string to a constant so the user can run the program again without having to run setup routine unless they want to change the save location?
View 1 Repliessuppose I have variables named A1, A2, A3 ... B1, B2, B3 ... Z97, Z98, Z99. I have a certain operation I want to do using each one in turn. I CAN write a line of code for every single variable, but this will get pretty tedious. I'd prefer it if I can make a function that takes the letter and the number as arguments. So, if it gets the arguments "E" and "10" it will perform the operation on variable E10. What is the syntax for this? say a simple operation such as: result = E10 * 3 Is the syntax any different if I use constants instead of variables?

I'm working on a home project using DirectShow.Net. to learn some VB.net. Most of the examples I've found have all been in C# so I'm looking through code for ideas and converting where I need to. I keep stumbling upon these declarations and I'm unsure how to convert it to a VB.Net statement.[code]Then the second part seems to be assigning the value but as its made up of two parts im unsure how that works?
View 2 RepliesAny way to assign a binary value to a vb variable? All of the obvious choices don't work. I've tried prefixing with &B, appending with b but nothing seems to work.For clarification, what I was looking for (which does not appear to be possible) was how to assign a literal binary number to a variable, in a similar manner in which you can assign a hex or octal number. I was just looking for a more visually engaging way to assign values to a flag enum.
Dim num as Integer = &H100ABC 'Hex'
Dim num2 as Integer = &O123765 'Octal'
Dim myFantasy as Integer = &B1000 'What I would like to be able to do'
Dim myReality as Integer = 2 ^ 3 'What I ended up doing'

View 4 Replieswondering about the relatively efficiency of declaring oop variables in the loops, emselves, or declaring them before first use. Here are some examples:Declare early:
Dim ix As Integer
Dim currentNode As System.Xml.XmlNode
For ix = 1 To 100
[code].....
I have noticed in VB.Net that most Dim statements also include an assignment. Eg:Dim myvar As String = "Hello World"As this wasn't possible in VB6 I have always done the following:
Dim myvar As String
myvar = "Hello World"
For i As Integer = 1 To 10
Dim j As Integer = 10
Next
now my question is, Is memory allocated to j every time its executed inside for loop? or only value of 10 is assigned on subsequent iterations?
We are using a custom API in our project which provide an attribute for class fields/members which lets the interface to present a popup of some range values like "On/OFF" and pass the corresponding values of the choice to our code. The attribute requires a string array to know that values.We have many enumerations defined for these ranges,We are thinking to use Enum.GetValues() kind method to get a string array for this method.However, As we know the field declaration do not allow dynamic values in the declaration? so is there any other of doing same thing in efficient way.To clerify the problem i will write the examples below;
Current Working
<RangeLookUp("On:1","Off:2")> Public ASimpleRangeVariable As Integer
While I wanted to do like this or kind of
<RangeLookUp(SomeMethod())> Public ASimpleRangeVariable As Integer
Public Shared Function SomeMethod() as String()
'use Enum to get all the items as string values forexample Enum.GetValues & enu,.GetValues [code]....
Where SomeMethod suppose to return string array to be passed in the RangeLookup constructor.Which means if we change enumeration then we don't have to update the declaration.i know there are better ways to do it but due to some custom API, the ground is limited.
im sure im mis-wording the concept but here it is anyways. I know in CSharp you can do
el.AppendChild(new UISize(file, "TSize") { CX = 95, CY = 20 });
which declares a temporary bucket variable and then assigns the associate property values to the variable. Which then sends it to the XMLElement AppendChild method. What is this design concept called? What is the conversion to VB.Net? I have tried using my own online utility that does a 90-95% conversion rate from C# <-> VB.Net. It has failed in this instance, and so need a hand-up on what i am looking to do to convert this from C# to VB.Net. I would really like to not have to do a long-declaration of a variable with assignments, if at all possible.

I've been programming for many years in many languages and I've seen the variable declarations conventions change. With VS 2010 I've noticed you don't have to declare the variable type. I work alone so I can use any method I want. But, someday I may want to sell some of my code so I would like to keep my programming conventions current.
In VS 2010 which of these would be considered the best convention?
Dim srtFirstName = "Bob"
Dim strFirstName As String = "Bob"
Dim FirstName = "Bob"
Dim FirstName As String = "Bob"
I am trying to design a Function/Sub that will need to accept a variable number of parameters. Catch is that the parameters being passed are arrays themselves. As i understand it when you pass a variable number of arguments to a method, you pass them via an array. What im looking for is to make a method that would accept this form:

I have strMyColor = "Red".I would like to make lblMyLabel.BackColor to be red.Without using a variable the code would be this:
lblMyLabel.BackColor=Color.Red
I tried using the variable like this: lblMyLabel.backcolor="Color." & strMyColor
But the error is that a string can't be converted to System.Draw.Color. I understand that, as the string "Color.Red" is not the same as the VB constant Color.Red.Is there a way I can construct a valid vbConstant from a string?

When building a class library which contains many classes, all classes uses a lot of common constants and functions, what is the best to do:
1- Declare these constants and functions as public in a module.
2- In each class declare constants and functions used by individual class as private.
The first choice is good for easy and fast implementation, but re-using a class in a different project will require importing the module to the other project.The second choice require a lot of copy/paste for code snippet but a class can be re-used in different project easily.
