Declaring A Variable TableAdapter On A Form
Aug 15, 2011
I am building a generic search form in my application. This will allow the user to search for various records throughout the application. The one thing I cannot seem to figure out is how to allow the declaration of the TableAdapter to change at run-time. Each part of the app will be passing a variable to the search form to specify which table should be loaded. In the form class I have the following:
FRIEND WITHEVENTS tbaSearchData AS database.databaseTableAdapters.TableOneTableAdapter This is great for TableOne. But, I have about a hundred tables that could be searched through. To load the data I'm using a DataGridView and populating it via a private method.

I have declared this variable in a module : Public GenericForm As System.Windows.Forms.Form
and then through code I can asign to that variable a specific form .For example GenericForm = Form1. Then I can use that variable to handle that specific form , for example :
GenericForm.Show
My problem begins when I want to handle a control on that form , for example :
GenericForm.TextBox1.Text = "aaa"
This code creates an error reading :TextBox1 is not a member of System.Windows.Forms.Form.I have been using code like this in VB6 and was quite useful ,but now in VB .NET I cannot .You see I have many forms on which there are some text boxes with the same name,so I declare a generic variable as Form and accordingly insert the code the desired text box conform the form I wish each time . Can I do this in VB .NET too ?

Trying to declare some arrays. I haven't worked with them that I remember. I always took the long road, of declaring each and every variable, but would like to learn this method. The problem is I'm having trouble with the methods I'm finding on the net..[code]for some reason there is a squiggly under each MonsterName except in the declaration that says "declaration expected"

We can declare a byte variable like this, for hex '88'
Dim bytes = New Byte() { &H88 } My case, 88 is assigned to a variable, hexvalue
How to declare the byte with the variable hex value?
Dim bytes = New Byte() { &H & hexvalue }the above throws syntax error.

I'm trying out a program which I found on the net. Why is it necessary to put to curly braces at the end of the statement? It gives an error: "Byte has no constructors". Dim data As Byte() = New Byte(1023) {} I can't put the code like this either, it produces the error "byte cannot be a 1-dimensional array".

I have started using the builder class to create my connection strings for the sole purpose of making more generic connectivity code. However, I am stumped on this issue. The MS eConnect product apparently expects to receive integrated security=SSPI in its connection string if you want to use integrated security, (vs Integrated Secturity=True). I thought I would just pass "Trusted_Connection"="SSPI" to the builder class.
as it turns out, the item for Integrated Security is boolean and despite what the documentation says, will not give me SSPI in my connection string. Has anybody else found this issue and is there a simple fix for it? as for now, I'll simply strip out the item and replace it in my string.

I need to create a fillby method that includes a variable. I know how to create the query with known information example:
SELECT CadetPhoto, CaseID, CaseManager, ContractRate, DOB, DormAssignment, FirstName, Gender, GraduationDate, HomeCounty, InductionDate, JBCNumber, LastChange, LastName, MiddleName, PID, Race, RefferingPO, SSN, SchoolID, Shots FROM Cadets WHERE (GraduationDate
IS NULL)
But i need something more like
SELECT CadetPhoto, CaseID, CaseManager, ContractRate, DOB, DormAssignment, FirstName, Gender, GraduationDate, HomeCounty, InductionDate, JBCNumber, LastChange, LastName, MiddleName, PID, Race, RefferingPO, SSN, SchoolID, Shots FROM Cadets WHERE (JBCNumber
= Variable)
Where the variable is passed in when the method is called.
How do I set that variable when writing the select statement?
How do I pass in the JBCNumber when the method is called?

I am new to VB.NET but used to write a lot of code in VB 6.
How do i declare a variable length array in VB.NET?
In VB6, i would just put:
Dim sArrayList() As String
But when I do that in VB.NET, it highlights my array name and says "unused local variable". What do I need to do to get it to work without an error?

These two snippets do the same thing - is there one that's better than the other, or is it just a matter of preference?
Using context As MyDatabaseDataContext = New MyDatabaseDataContext()
Dim test = context.Employees.Count
End Using
vs.
Dim context As MyDatabaseDataContext = New MyDatabaseDataContext()
Dim test = context.Employees.Count

I come from C# (use VS 2005, .NET 2) and I know that when I declare a private variable I can "extract" from it the corresponding "property". In VB.NET I've declared a lot of properties (in the diagram class designer). Now am I forced manually adding the corresponding private fields?

Got a question regarding declaring a variable. Basically I have a module that writes to a text file using textwriter which is declared for the whole module to use at the top of the code. But what I want to do is clear the contents of the text file when the program is executed (using file.writealltext). The problem I have is that the file is obviously already in use as a result of the textwriter and the file cannot be modified because of this.
My question is: is there any way of declaring the textWriter object later on (not during the initial initialization of the module) without passing the object between functions? Setting the variable as inactive or something along those lines during initialization would be ideal.

What's best practice (in VB.Net):
Function GetSomething() as String
GetSomething = "Here's your string"
End Function
or
Function GetSomething() as String
Dim returnString as String = "Here's your string"
Return returnString
End Function
Obviously, neither of these implementations make any sense, but they're just meant to illustrate my point. Is there anything to be gained by using GetSomething itself to store the return value instead of declaring returnString locally and then returning that (does it avoid having an extra string allocated/instantiated - and if so, are there any performance/memory benefits)?

I have a problem involving late binding, and I absolutely cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix it. I have spent hours researching the problem to no avail, so I am turning to stackoverflow as a last resort.The problem is pretty much this: I am creating a grocery list application. I have a class named Item which stores the name, price, quantity, and description of an item on the grocery list. I have a module named ListCollection which defines a Collection of Item objects. I have created an Edit form which will automatically display the currently selected ListCollection item properties, but whenever I attempt to fill the text boxes, it tells me that Option Strict disallows late binding. I COULD take the easy route and disable Option Strict, but I'd prefer to figure out what the problem is so I know for future reference.I shall paste pertinent code here. (Late binding error is in EditItem.vb)
[code]...
I have tried declaring a String variable and assigning the Item property to that, and I have also tried grabbing the value directly from the List item (not using the Get function), and neither of these made a difference.

I have multiple forms and have multiple declarations that I need for all the forms, is there a better way than declaring them each time on each form? Can a .dll do this, if so does it require the .dll to be a seperate file than the final .exe file. Or is there someway to reference the variables on other forms?

I have just been experimenting with nesting classes within a User class I had already created.

I get the same error message!!! "Declaration expected". Also I notice the variable's name is not coming up in intellisense. I have not come across this before as declaring an using variables and objects has been straight forward up until now.

I have one form, which the user enters upto 5 websites then clicks go - I have on the second form, the one with the webbrowser. timer which checks if the web browser is busy then either a green light or black image will be shown along side the assocaited input box on the first form. I am finding it impossible to feed variables into the clock through ByVal, like I would a subroutine or function.

If you want a instance of an object to be created when a form loads or another class is created, you have two options:
Public class example
private IAmAObject As IAmAObject
public sub new()
[CODE]...
Or like this:
public class example
private IAmAObject as new IAmAObject
public sub new()
[CODE]...
I always use the first one. It's more type work but I think it's neater. How about you people and is there any real difference between the two?
