I am trying to create a number of objects depending on the width of a row of an array, is there a way I can change the name of the variable being Dim 'd as I don't know how wide the array will be.
I have been trying something along the lines of:
pseudocode
For x as integer = 0 to UBound(MyArray,2)
Dim Object & CStr(x) As Object Type

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.
View 4 RepliesI'm a beginner in visual basic programming.I want to make login form in vb and i want that after signing in,another form opens with message "Welcome (User name)".This user name will be given at run time. So i just want a guidance in how to implement this thing in vb.
View 1 RepliesI'm creating an application that allows the user to create their own queries based on criteria in various list boxes and my idea was to produce the results of the SQL in a "new" DGV, which in turn will be created in a "new" TabPage in a separate form . Each time the user runs a query a new DGV and TabPage is created. I've named each "new" DGV based on a user textbox so each "new" DGV will be named differently. The problem is how do I reference each new DGV? At the moment I get-"the value of type 'Syst.cannot be converted to string"It allows me to name the DGV with a string, but not reference it!
Any ideas how I reference a DGV when its created in runtime.

I have a little banking console app for a class project. I've created a class (Account). What I want to do is name the instance of the class based on text input:
Dim strFoo As String
strFoo = Console.Readline
Dim strFoo as New Account
Obviously this won't work because strFoo is a String.
I have a class (let's call it foo) that has several public properties.
private _fee as object
private _fie as object
private _fo as object

So far this seems to work... I'm just worried that something might get screwed up scope wise.
What is the normal way someone would name the constructor variables in a class like this?
In the example below, what would you name the parameter given that it is used to initialize the property FromDate?For class constructor methods, I like to have the name of the constructor parameter variable match the name of the property which is being initialized. For example, the parameter "fromDate" is used to initialize the module level variable "_FromDate" with the statement _FromDate = fromDate. Likewise, I could have alternatively written Me.FromDate = fromDate.
Proponents of C#'s case sensitivity would probably say that using a leading lower cased letter for the param variable name, which I believe is MS convention, is an acceptable approach to distinguish it from the Property of the same name but different casing.
However, VB is not case sensitive, which I generally appreciate. In the following example, I am using a param name that matches the property name, 'fromDate," and VB refers to the local instance when there is ambiguity. However, many would probably argue that this "ambiguity" introduces the opportunity for the developer to get confused and not realize which variable is being used. For example, my intent below was to have TWO params passed in, "fromDate" and "toDate" but I accidentily ommited one and as a result, the VB.NET did not warn me of the mistake because it assumed that the statement _ToDate = ToDate was equivalent to _ToDate = Me.ToDate instead of informing me that the variable on the right side of the assignment statement was undeclared.
Public Class Period
Property FromDate As Date
Property ToDate As Date
[code]....
In my judgement, we should have a convention for prefixing all parameter variable with a prefix, but hasn't the use of prefixes been discouraged by Microsoft? For example:
Public Sub New(ByVal paramFromDate As Date, paramToDate As Date)
..or maybe it could be shortened to pFromDate, pToDate...

I have a .NET library which I know can be fairly easily linked from VS project to reference it from code. However for security reasons I want to place the DLL file in another location on the disk and reference it from code including executing methods and passing method parameters.

View 3 RepliesI am working with a simple game idea. I wanted to have two players running around shooting each other (very low graphics, like circles and squares). I've got this far; I have the ability to move around both characters, and change directions etc. ive also been able to set up my shooting. Only problem I run into is getting the bullet to move! I cant use a preset timer, because if I used that, I could only shoot one bullet at a time, so I would need to create new ones dynamically.
So my question is; how does one add dynamic timers to a form on runtime, and alter the tick sub so that it moves the picturebox (bullet) and once it can be moved, (I was thinking about using player locations in relation to the bullet, and if they were equal than the health would go down or whatever, but unfortunately, this means it would have to be directly in the middle of the player, which would be odd..
I have a nested content page within a master page, upon load the the page retrieves from a SQL a list of controls to create (Field Type, FieldName) i.e. String, Username.The function loops around the list creating the controls on the webform in a Placeholder, this part works perfectly. The problem that I am experiencing is the request to obtain the value entered by the user in the dynamically created control, I need to perform this call following postback/callback.
If I take the Content page and make it a standard aspx page with no master page the application works fine. Unfortunatley taking the page out of the master page is not an option (unfortunatley a restriction by my client)

I am new in programming. And I am coding with VB.Net (VB2008). On my form I have 9 checkboxes. And each of this checkbox when checked is meant to submit a value to a dynamic array. Initially the array was a constant that was declared like these:
Dim Notes() AS integer = {1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000}
But I want the array to be dynamic. That is the user of the program is to enter the element of the array. So I decided to use checkboxes. So that if the user of the program checks any of the checkboxes, a particular value or element should be submitted into the array. And the user should be able to check as many checkboxes and have values representing those checkboxes submitted in to the array.
For example: if the user check checkbox1, checkbox2 and checkbox50.
The array should look like these. { 1, 2, 50 }
or if the user check checkbox1000, checkbox200, checkbox10 and checkbox500
Then the array should hold or contain the following integers in this order; {20, 200, 500, 1000}.
That is the array is dynamic and the content/elements of the array and the bound of the array should depend on the checkboxes that is checked. What other means can I used to enter values/elements into a dynamic array during run time.

I have a class with properties in it . The properties in it are all named the same with the columns names in the database.The reason for that is that i want to loop through all the properties within the class and dynamically create an sql query with the parameters in it . Then dynamically create the parameters and add them into the oraclecommand , everything works well until one of the properties ( QTY ) is set to 0 . When it is set to 0 , during the properties loop ,it will check it as nothing and bypasses the QTY property , with that i am missing one of the columns.class with properties , Notice the property Qty it is Nullable(Of Integer) , it is because when inserting data into the database , sometimes i would want it to be null instead of default 0 .
Public Class HDB
Public Property BONum() As String
Public Property Owner() As String
Public Property Qty() As Nullable(Of Integer)

GetProcAddress Function Retrieves the address of an exported function or variable from the specified dynamic-link library (DLL).Lets say I have something like this:
Dim moduleHandle As Integer = LoadLibrary("C:myDLL.dll")
Dim methodName As String = ""
GetProcAddress(moduleHandle, methodName)
DLL should be win32 standard dll or .net dll.
How can I run the exported function if I have the address of it through GetProcAddress().If someone could supply some code it would be great.

In Visual Studio 2010 is it possible to check the state of variables during run time. When a run time error occurs the error is highlighted and you are able to mouse over different variables to see their values when the error happened. I would like to do something similar except without the error.
