Declaring Enums Across Derived Classes
Sep 21, 2009
I am developing a program in VB.NET. I have an enum called PriceType that is declared in a super class ItemPriceBase. There are 3 classes that derive from ItemPriceBase - ItemPriceMeasured, ItemPriceNDI and ItemPriceExtraCost. The subset of PriceTypes for these classes are totally unique from each - Measured prices are 1 to 6, NDI prices are 7 to 15 and ExtraCost prices are 16 to 22.
Is there a way declare the enum in the super class and then extend the enum in each of the derived classes so that they only have access to those options, yet I can still access a property in the super class that returns an enum of PriceType?

I've heard bad things about overusing regions but when adding enums to my classes I put them into a #region "Enums" at the end of the class, and do the same with structures and even subclasses.
Is there a better/standard way to go about grouping such elements on classes?
(Note: this is tagged C#/VB but maybe the same situation exists for other languages, like Java)

i've finally got round to learning about classes and inheritance, but i'm not sure how to proceed. i have a base class Employee, which is inherited by 2 derived classes. how do i use the same Employee class in both derived classes? obviously if i write a sub new for both of them + declare a new Employee class, they won't be using the same class. heres my Employee class:

Background:I have a base class and several inherited derived classes. The derived classes don't always need to have the same properties. If any properties are shared among the derived classes, those properties would live at the base class level ('Contents', for example).Similarly, GoodDocument below has 'GoodThings' but would not want/need to have 'BadThings'.I want to treat instances of both 'GoodDocument' and 'BadDocument' as type 'Document'
public mustinherit class Document
public property Contents as string
public sub new()...

I need to initialize an array variable that belongs to a class supported by a Web Service. Theoretically it should have looked like that: Dim k(100) As New Appoint2.BookingData()However, it throws up an error message saying that 'Arrays cannot be declared with New'.I have managed to find a walk around: Dim k As Appoint2.Unit() = New Appoint2.Unit() {}But it creates only a zero-length array and I have no idea how to define its length. Wherever I try to put its length parameter (100) an error message emerges.

I thought that enums in VB and C# where the same or at least very similar. Then today I stumbled across a bug in our VB code. The following VB code compiles and runs with no issues:
Enum Cars
Subaru
Volvo
End Enum
[code]....
Why does the VB version not catch the type mismatch? Are enum in VB and C# different?

I do have a customized treeView which inherits from treeview and uses customized treenodes which inherit from treenode. It works, but each inherited method of the treeview using a treenode as a parameter forces me to do an explizit cast from treenode to my customized treenode to access the additional functionalitiy of my treenode class.
Is there a general way to avoid explizit casting all day long? E.g. telling my customized treeview that all it's properties, mehthods, etc. from now on are working with my customized treenodes instead the general treenode as default?
Turning off option strict is not an option because I want to keep this. Overriding each method, etc. is to cumbersome.

Until asking a question on here I never considered (enums) to be a "bad thing." For those out there that consider them not to be best practice, what are some approachs/patterns for avoiding their use in code?
Edit:
public Enum SomeStatus
Approved = 1
Denied = 2
Pending =3
end Enum

We have legacy character codes that we want to store as numbers in a new system. To increase readibility and general understanding in the code for devs making the migration, I want to do Enums like this..
[Code]...
With this setup, the code will be readable (imagine If Record.Status = Status.Open), and yet the values will be stored in the database as small numbers so it will be efficient. However... I am a VB.NET guy, but everybody wants to code in C#, so I need this sort of structure in C#.After Googling, I discovered the the general .NET equivalent of AscW is Convert.ToInt32("C"). When I try to use that statement in an enum, I get the compiler error "Constant Expression Required".

I have an enum and a usercontrol, both in the same assembly (a plain .NET 4 web site). In the Constants class:public Enum CrudOperations Add Edit Delete. This controls the columns in a GridView on a UserControl via a property on the UserControl
[Code]...
In C#, I've specified the columns to show with markup as Mode="Edit,Delete", but in VB.NET, this does nothing. The only way I can get anything to show is with the codebehind, but if on the containing page I use userGrid.Mode = CrudOperations.Edit And CrudOperations.Delete, I get all the columns (there's also a delete column), but userGrid.Mode = CrudOperations.Edit Or CrudOperations.Delete shows nothing.

I have a public property, "Status" that is an enum. I have a setter method that changes the status and raises the PropertyChanged event. However, the WinForms user interface is not properly updating. I'm pretty sure it's because Status is an enum. Although I was thinking enum was a reference type but I guess it's a value type. Does INotifyPropertyChanged work the same with reference and value types?

I have two classes, one nested in the other. [code]Neither "Name" or "ID" are unique between operations and records.I wish to construct a dictionary using LINQ = Dictionary(Of String, Of List(Of Integer), whereby the keys are uniqe examples of Names in my collection and the values are the collective set of distinct IDs that are associated with those names.

How can I structure my classes so that the user interfaces though a single class while the supporting classes are hidden from their view? I think its best understood in an example:
Public Class MyInterface
Public Economic as EconomicClass
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
[code].....
So you might ask why am I even separating them? It's strictly for others who will be working with this interface. I need to funnel them though a logical structure:
interface.Economic.MyMethod
interface.Currency.MyMethod
etc
This way everything is already handled for them in the background and they only need to run the method they need. I don't know if I can have it both ways in VB.NET.

I work for a web hosting company and was handed a VB script which I apparently have to compile with some updated settings by 1 of our clients who knows less about it than I do. But when trying to compile the code I receive an error "'Enums.NoticeType' is not defined". As expected I haven't a clue. Am I missing some of the code, or do I have to add some libraries in my Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition? I have pasted the line of code below. If requested I can provide the whole script.
Code:
Public Function UpdateNotices(ByVal intNoticeID As Integer,
ByVal strNoticeTitle As String, ByVal dtDateFrom As Date, ByVal dtDateTo
As Date, ByVal intTypeID As Enums.NoticeType, ByVal boolPrimaryItem As
Boolean, ByVal boolActive As Boolean) As Int32

I have a solution with multiple projects, some of the projects are written in VB, some in C#. I am wondering if there's a way to use interfaces and/or enums written in VB in C# classes? My C# code below doesn't compile, however I am able to see the interface in intellisense.
[Code]...
P.S It's a console/service application, not ASP.Net (where I know it's doable).UPD: Sorry guys, was missing a reference to the project with the interface. It's fixed now. I think the thing that in VB projects references are done slightly different than in C# confused me.

I have a base class with the the following enum and property:

First off, how do I do this - is it by simply overloading it? And secondly will my original property pick up the new enum automatically when using the derived class or will I need to overload that too?

We have a common component in our source which contains all the enums (approx 300!) for a very large application.Is there any way, using either C# or VB.NET, to iterate through all of them in order to perform an action on each one?
How to iterate all "public string" properties in a .net class is almost relevant but the enums I am dealing with are a mix of types.

I'm using LuaInterface for .NET to create Windows Forms objects. This works pretty good except for one thing:I want to use the Anchor property of Control to make them resize automatically. If I only set one of the Anchors (e.g. only AnchorStyles.Top), it works, but this doesn't really make sense. I have to set more than one Anchor, which is done by combining them with "bit-wise or" (or by just adding them numerically).
In VB.Net both works:
Dim myLabel As New Label()
myLabel.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Top[code]....
which is in a sense correct as "LuaInterface treats enumeration values as fields of the corresponding enumeration typ" (says LuaInterface: Scripting the .NET CLR with Lua).It is also not possible to assign the value as a number:
myLabel.Anchor = 15 -- 15 = 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = Top+Left+Right+Bottom
This time, the error message is rather unspecific:
LuaInterface.LuaException: function
Is there a possibility to typecast the number to the correct enumeration type in Lua?

I want to add a setting that uses an enum defined in form1.vb. All the research I've done suggests support for enum type settings is built-in and handled automatically by the VS IDE ... I assume this means it's as easy as defining font or color settings. However, I'm not having much. Are any of you gurus aware of how to set up an enum setting via the Project Settings UI?

I realize this is probably trivial, but for some reason I'm not sure how to pull it off. Say I have the following enum:
Public Enum FlagType
Docs
Email
[Code]....
How do I then at runtime determine which flags where set for flags? In this example, it should be Docs and Email.

Is there a way to use strings in Enums like the example below:
Enum myEnum
val1 = "some string 1"
val2 = "some string 2"
val3 = "some string etc"
End Enum
It seems like you can only use integers for the underlying values.

I have a flags enumeration property that I need to show in a property grid: [Code] In the property grid however, it only allows me to select a single value. I cannot combine the values like usual in a flags enum. How do I show something like a checked listbox in the property grid, so that the user can combine flags by checking items? A None and All item would be great but not required. [url]
But even that does not work properly. It seems to check and uncheck items arbitrarily. If you check the first and fourth item for example, the second and third items will sometimes be checked too. Yes, I realize that is supposed to happen with the TestEnum property (as that defines 'BottomRight' as 'Bottom Or Right', so that's logical), but it also happens with the SecurityFlags for example, which it shouldn't.

Here's my current set-up:
Public Interface IDatabase
Function CreateParameter(name as String, dbType as <dbTypeEnumeration>)
End Interface
[Code]....
The problem here is what exactly is dbTypeEnumeration. In the example above, it's simply a placeholder to what my problem is. Since we use both Oracle and SQL Server databases, the DbTypes are different depending on the database being used. For Oracle, the OracleClient object has its own OracleDbType enumeration with types. SQL Server also has its own enumeration.
My question is: is it possible to show those database-specific enumerations depending on which repository is injected into the DatabaseService constructor? If not, what's the best way to go about this? I want to separate the two databases, share logic, and allow for future development, ala the interface as a code contract for that development.
