So, let's say I have this code (VB.Net)[code]...
What I don't like is:
- relies upon reflection
- loosely typed (no compile time checking)
- I'd rather store the binding information somewhere other than ID, but don't know where else it could go within the aspx definition. Moving the binding declaration to the code behind would be better in some ways, but worse in others.
if I create a variable like
dim DT as new Datetime
automatically the date is set to 01/01/0001
is there a better way to check that no value has been assigned to the variable a part to compare the datatevalue?
Public Class Form1
Dim x, c, number(0 To 19) As Integer
Dim s As Integer

The variables in the brackets [example] do not actually have brackets in them in the original code. These are where the issues are. For both variables, it says, "The type for variable [variable] will not be inferred because it is bound to a field in an enclosing scope. Either change the name of [variable], or use the fully qualified name (for example, 'Me.[variable]' or 'MyBase.[variable]')." Now, I'm not entirely sure if this is a stupid question or not, as I'm used to VB '98 because that's what we use in my programming class at High School. let me know why this won't work.
-Note: The intention of this program is to continually loop the generation of numbers for this list until I tell it to stop. Button1 ends the program, Button2 generates the list one time only, Button3 is supposed to loop the generation of the list, and Button4 is supposed to end the loop, but not the program.
I have the following code that I am using to parse out a test file. I am getting variable conversion error in Sub Main() when I assign file = Read(). The return value of Read() is a TextFieldParser type. How do I assign the proper variable type to "file" so I can write the output to a text file?

I'm wondering whether its possible to have a function's return type and input arguments as a variable.
For example this function:Private Function MyFunction(ByVal argument1 As VariableType) As VariableType
[Code]...
I have this function:
Public Sub DoStuff(ByVal type as System.Type, ByVal value as Object)
End Sub
The 'value' argument is always an array of the same type as 'type'. How can I loop through the values of the array?
I'd like to be able to do something like this:
DoStuff(GetType(Integer), New Integer(){1,2,3})
Public Sub DoStuff(ByVal type as System.Type, ByVal value as Object)
//Strongly types arr as Integer()
[Code].....
I'm aware that questions like this have been asked before and I doubt it's possible, but I just wanted to make 100% sure that it isn't.In VB.net or C# (either language, it doesn't matter), I want to cast a variable to a type represented by another Type variable. Here's an example of the kind of code that would be needed in C#:
Object castMe = new Foo();
Type castTo = typeof(Foo);
Foo beenCast = (castTo.GetRepresentedType())castMe;

I am working in a form, and I had to this
Dim par1 as string = "something"
I want pass par1 to update sql statement, and I am not using AddParameter So, I had to add single quotes, the par1 will be
par1 = "'" + par1 + "'"
instead of doing the above, I was thinking in
par1 = par1.ToString.AddSingleQuote
or
par1 = par1.AddSingleQuote
Either to add "AddSingleQuote" to "ToString" method, or make it available for every variable of type "String" Can that be done?
I am looking for a good resource on variable naming conventions to illustrate variable type and where variables are declared. So I will have public variables, Private variables, private or local variables. I also may want to declare variables with the same name in different class code (i.e. in the code behind different forms). I am assuming good coding would dicatate a prefix for declaration location.

I'm currently working with a client's VB.Net code, which was developed for them by a small development shop a few years ago and which they purchased and have been maintaining and uprgrading since. This client's primary developer is out on indefinite (likely permanent) medical leave and I'm now filling in until they bring in a full timer (as I'm a contractor here). My current task is to add some functionality to a the VB.Net code they purchased. I'm finding practices and techniques in the code that absolutely baffle me and can't make the code do what I want. I'm starting to wonder if it's me and was hoping to get some thoughts on the code I've encountered.
For example: Setting a variable to accept the result of a function by calling the function with many parameters, clearing the parameters in the function, setting them to some value, calling another function with those new values, then never using the values returned by the functions. I'll add a code snippet in the first comment since this is already getting long.
Writing an asp.net mvc app and i have something like this...
Public Class AA
'... has some variables...
End Class
Public Class BB
[code]....
So, now in my program, i just want to copy object of type AA to an empty variable of type BB?it makes sense to do this, as i expect all the fields in AA type object to be copied to the newly created BB type object, and the ExtraVariable in the BB type object i would (will) just assign a value to it later (after the copy) on my own time!!I know copying BB type to AA type would not be appropriate as there would be lost data!But im trying to copy AA to BB, I've used both DirectCast and CType to do this, and i keep getting "unable to cast" error!

What's the C# equivalent of
<% dim name %>
so you can use it for web forms in PayPal API integration?
What does this error mean in VB6? Function or interface marked as restricted, or the function uses an Automation type not supported in Visual Basic.

I'm trying to detect if a value is a decimal type and insert it into a DB. If the value is a decimal, I want to continue with the inserting. If the value is not a decimal I want to insert "0" as a value to the DB.
For this I created a function seen below... What is wrong with it?
Function IfNotDeci(ByVal Arvo) As String
If Arvo is Decimal = True Then
Return Arvo
[Code]....
The problem is on the first "If". How to know if the value is a decimal?
(I need this code because my values are read from different excel-files that are not always correct. So if a human didn't write a decimal value to a cell, the program should not respond with an error, but just insert a "0".)
How do you detect the RAM speed and type?
E.g. DDR3, PC3 10600, 1333Mhz

View 3 RepliesJust so it's known, this question is mostly academic, even though I tried to use the concept in a real-world solution. I realize the example is contrived, but I believe the concept is valid.I want to write some fluent code like this:
[code]...
I realize that I can't force an anonymous type into a specific type (like implementing an interface or some other class), and I don't want the overhead of defining a specific class just to match my desired fluent name with the actual method name. So I was able to make the code work like this:
copy(my_first_file).to.Invoke(my_second_file)So there is no IntelliSense or type awareness there, and I have to include the Invoke in order to have the method run. How can I get more type safety and exclude the Invoke method, under these constraints: Anonymous Type returned from Method No additional classes or interfaces Preferably, I do not want to pass in another parameter to the copy() method that tells what type to return, unless copy becomes a generic method (but I think that means defining another class/interface, which I don't want to do)
I'm trying to track down a problem on our test environment. Previously it was set to use InProc Session State Type, but I've added in the SQLServer type for one specific Web App. I did this because we use the SQLServer type in our production environment and I want our test env to match as closely as possible.
However, after changing it to SQLServer I do not get any errors when trying to store unserializable data in session like I would expect. It works just fine, even though I would think it shouldn't. I'm a relative newbie when it comes to configuring this, but from the various tutorials I googled, I thought I covered all the bases.I was wondering if there's any code snippets to verify which session state type an application is actively using.
How do I determin if a user has given me what I am asking for in terms of data type.
Example if my prompt to the user say "Give me a number of double data type"
How can I tell that the user entered a double xx.yy?
Or if I am testing for integers and I get user input ABC.GH?
I know about CDbl and CInt and CStr but these don't work unless data is provided. Also how do you test if the conversion took place? Also how do you differencate between 12.00 being integer?
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:
