Difference Between Byref And ByVal
May 4, 2010[Code] What is the difference between ByRef and Byval in this function. When i call this function and debug it it shows no difference the two. Can any one explain me actually what happens.

Feb 20, 2009ByRef (a.k.a. By Reference) points to where the object is in the memory. Any changes made to the object sent ByRef should change the values of the original object ByVal (a.k.a. By Value) points to a copy of the object. Any changes made to the object shouldn't change anything in the original object
Let's make an example:
Private Sub FormLoad()
Dim a As String = "A"
Dim b As String = "B"
[code]...
The second messagebox shows Baaaa - Buuuu instead of the expected A - Buuuu... but why is that? Apparently ByVal and ByRef does exactly the same thing. It seems like it sends the reference to the object when using ByVal, instead of making a new object.
Difference Between ByVal And ByRef
Mar 27, 2012Whenever I'm going to use a new API, I have to decide for each value whether I'm going to use byval or byref. Can someone explain me in what scenarios I should use which and why? Because lacking this knowledge kinda gives me the feeling of having no control over my code.I am aware about the other threads by people asking the same question, I have read them but its still not crystal clear for me.

Jun 5, 2012I have seen a few people in the past confused on the usage of ByRef & ByVal in a Function/Sub's Signature. I figured i would make a simple example that demonstrates the difference of each.

If you want something you've never had, you need to do something you've never done. If you believe something to be true, then one day you will be called upon to demonstrate that truth.

ByVal Sender As System.Object - ByVal E As System.EventArgs
Jan 25, 2011Just as a secondary question, usually I reduce: -(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) to just () for most occurrences of auto-generated subroutines. Is there any harm in doing this? I cant see any reduction in performance but do get more readability.
View 8 Replies.net - How To 'do' ByVal In C#
Jun 14, 2010As I understand it, C# passes parameters into methods by reference. In vb.net, you can specify this with ByVal and ByRef. The default is ByVal.
Is this for compatibility with vb6, or is it just random? Also, how can I specify what to use in C#? I kind of like the idea of passing parameters by value.

Now, on my Socket property, when setting the value, it is required to be ByVal. It is my understanding that the instance in memory is copied, and this new instance is passed to value, and my code sets _Socket to reference this instance in memory. Yes?
If this is true, then I can't see why I would want to use properties for anything but native types. I'd imagine there can be quite a performance hit if copying class instances with lots of members. Also, for this code in particular, I'd imagine a copied socket instance wouldn't really work, but I haven't tested it yet.
Asp.net - .Net, EventArgs, ByRef And ByVal?
Dec 15, 2011In VB.Net, I have an object named WorkflowButtonEventArgs that inherits from System.EventArgs.The WorkflowButtonEventArgs class contains two ByRef Properties. These are objects that are in memory, and I do not want them duplicated or copied in any way.
Can I pass the WorkflowButtonEventArgs object ByVal in VB.Net and have it still preserve the two ByRef definitions in WorkflowButtonEventArgs?Specifically, if I pass it ByVal:
Dim e As New WorkflowButtonEventArgs e has some ByRef properties RaiseEvent SomeEventName(e) ' e is passed ByVal Will the ByRef Properties/Members in e (WorkflowButtonEventArgs class) not be copied or duplicated in memory?
Long-story-short: Can I pass e ByVal, or do I need to pass it ByRef since it contains ByRef Properties?

Is Not Necesary To Indicate ByVal / ByRef Any More?
Feb 9, 2012I just installed Visual Studio 2010 Service pack (proposed on Windows Update), and I can see a new feature on the "intellisense" that means when I write a Function or Sub in VB.NET it doesn't auto-complete parameters with ByRef or ByVal...
1) Is there anyway that I can configure this option back to how it was before?
2) If I don't specify ByX, which one is used by default? (it seems like it is always ByRef)
Syntax - Using ByVal In .net Methods?
Sep 9, 2011In vb.net the methods have their parameters using ByVal by default, it's better practice / common practice to make it explicit?

This correctly returns the memory value as string. So yeah, now it's just the Single that's causing issues.
ByRef Vs ByVal Generates Errors?
Apr 26, 2010ByRef vs ByVal generates errors!?I had a method that used an Object Function Foo(ByRef bar as CustomObject) as Boolean this method generated errors, because some strange .NET Runtime things changed the bar object, causing its Dispose()al.A lot of time spent to understand the thing(where the ... object is changed), until somebody replaced ByRef by ByVal and object wasn't change anymore when passing to this method.As in my case the function Foo does NOT modify the bar, shouldn't ByRef or ByVal have the same effect?[code]

View 1 RepliesPassing Reference Types By Value (ByVal)
Aug 17, 2009I'm still working on the code in this thread [URL] and as I mentioned in that thread, I thought that passing objects around between methods would probably be bad for performance (perhaps not really noticeably at first but maybe if I did it enough then it could have an impact).
1. When you pass a reference type to a method using ByVal then what is actually 'copied' ? I understand that ByVal copies the object into the local method that you are calling where as ByRef passes a reference to the actual object so you can work with the original object. So when you have a Reference type and you pass this ByVal then does copy the entire object or does it just copy a 'reference' to the object?
2. When working with an object that relates to a 'physical' item, such as a file on disk or a network stream between two connected machines, then what happens when you pass it around between methods (this might be irrelevant depending on the answer to the first question) ? I mean if I have a NetworkStream object that represents the data stream coming from a remote computer, if I then pass that ByVal into another method then does that mean I am still working with the same data stream or a copy of it or what?

Function Return A Value Byref Instead Of The Default Byval?
