Is there a way to dynamically create an object at runtime?Background: Basically i have an employee class that i want to instantiate every time an employee logs in. What i don't want it to have an employee object already created for every employee, but when they log in the object gets created.
View 5 RepliesI am writing a game editor, and have a lot of different "tool" objects. They all inherit from BTool and have the same constructor. I would like to dynamically populate a toolbox at runtime with buttons that correspond to these tools, and when clicked have them create an instance of that tool and set it as the current tool. Is this possible, and if so will it be better/easier than creating those buttons by hand?
View 3 RepliesI would like to dynamically create an object (in my case a thread) and then be able reference that object. Simplistically put, I would like to read from a text file and then process each item using a thread (so that I don't have to wait for each item before starting the next). The problem is that I cannot think of a way to create a new thread dynamically ie. thread name so that I can then wait for all created threads before doing something else.
View 8 RepliesI am working on creating an application (game) for a PocketPC with Visual Studio2005 in VB/.NET. I try to dynamically create a (new)button upon clicking a label and assigning certain properties to this button. For this I used below displayed code, but this button does not appear on 'Form1' - which is big enough to display it- but creates an error: A NullReferenceException. Such occurs when you try to reference an object in your code that does not exist, but I think I just did by using'..New..' Who can tell me what is wrong and how to fix this? [Code]
View 16 RepliesI have this code.
Code:
Public Class Form1
Dim NPB As Button
Dim x As Integer
[code]....
As you can see, when I open a program from my menu, a new button will be created with text similar to this, "C:Program ". The button it self will not do anything. How can I create the method at the same time the button it is for is created? Also how can I change the text do that it gives me, for example, CCleaner.exe instead of the whole target path?
I can usually find the answers to most of my questions via the Google Gods, but not this time.I have a form that has a TabPageControl and on that page a collection of labels and text boxes via a usercontrol.
On the form I have a button that allows the user to create a new tabpage, when the code adds a new page, it automatically adds the UserControl collection. I can't get my head around how to access the objects on the newly created tabpage.
What I need to be able todo is take the index of the tabpage that has focus and translate that against the UerContol name, but I havn't a clue how to do it!

Is there a way to dynamically create an object using a string as the class name?I've been off VB for several years now, but to solve a problem in another language, I'm forced to develop a wrapper in this one. I have a factory method to dynamically create and return an object of a type based on input from elsewhere. The provided input is meant to be the class name from which to create an object from. Normal syntax means that the entire class has to be explicitly spelled out. To do it this way, there could literally be hundreds of if/then's or cases to handle all the available class/object choices within the referenced libs:
If c_name = "Button" then obj = new System.Windows.Forms.Button
If c_name = "Form" then obj = new System.Windows.Forms.Form

View 5 RepliesI need to let the end user move and resize objects (like a textbox or button). There are several examples that demonstrate this in VB, but not in VB Express 2008, based upon VB.net.It looks like earlier you needed to access Windows API, but these calls does not work in VB.net. I understand that these call are replaced by "native" .net calls, but I cannot find any that does the job.
A typial example from old VB is:
Private Declare Function GetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long
This does not work in VB.net.
I'm creating a certain number of objects based on some templates that I have available to the user. Then, I have a module created for each template where I will be doing some math operations, etc.
I know how many objects will be created, but of course visual studio doesn't at design time.

I am trying to add some scripting to my VB.NET 2010 Windows Forms Application.I have figured out how to compile and execute VB.NET code stored in an external script file from within my app using Microsoft.VisualBasic.VBCodeProvider.CompileAssemblyFromSource and InvokeMember. I can also pass and return parameters to the code in the script file.In VB6 using the VBScript Host control, I could expose instances of objects in my app to the code in the VBScript.How do I do this in VB.NET?I'd like to expose a form object (the main form for my Windows Forms Application) to my VB.NET script.I don't want to pass the form as a parameter via InvokeMember.[code]

View 6 RepliesI created a custom class for a custom object. I instantiate like so[code]...
Now, I have two problems. First, right now this is just overwriting the same object properties, again, and again. I need to somehow dynamically name the object. Then, I need to place these objects in an array so I can iterate through them...
I'm trying to develop a program that turns matrices into their reduced Echlon forms. The user specifies the number of Columns & Rows for the matrix, which is generated by the following Sub Routine
Private Sub ButCreate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles ButCreate.Click
'Columns and Rows are specified by the user
rows = TxtRows.Text
columns = TxtColumns.Text
'clears all of the controls(text boxes) from the TableLayoutContainer
[Code] .....
How to do is access/manipulate those newly created textBoxes. After the user enters values to those boxes, I want to assign each of their columns to an array.

View 2 RepliesI created a .net assembly, which works perfectly if I create before runtime. But i'd like to know if it's possible to reference at runtime. The reason is because i'm creating an application which will be used in several servers, and it will be reference that same .net assembly, but the .dll file will be in different location per server. I know that when I reference before runtime, the .net assembly it will be pointing to is from the original (or at least that's what I think).

It appears that that only the top property is passed to the subroutine, that is, rowcount and the others appear to have a value of zero. Using ByRef makes no difference.
How do you move objects in run-time?
View 1 RepliesI have a VB.NET application and use some third party (closed source) ActiveX controls. One of the controls represents a "camera" (connected over several interfaces) and I try to write an example how to work with several cameras in one application. To do this I allocate multiple "camera" objects dynamically as an array which works as expected like this:
Const NUM_CAMERAS = 2
Private MyCameras(NUM_CAMERAS ) As xxx.MCamera
But the camera objects needs to be allocated with WithEvents because they raise events when a new image was taken. I found out that WithEvents variables cannot be typed as arrays and this is a pretty common problem so I also found some workarounds: [URL]. This is already pretty good and I adopted this to my concept. So I have a MyCameras array and a MyCamera all "without Events", first allocate a new MyCamera object, add a event handler and then put it into the array.
Unfortunately I get an error when calling
AddHandler Camera.ProcessModifiedImage, AddressOf MyHook
Normally "MyHook" is declared as
Private Sub MyHook (ByVal sender As Object, ByVal ModifiedBuffer As xxx.ProcessModifiedImageEvent) Handles Camera.ProcessModifiedImage
Like in the "Button examples" I just removed the "Handles Camera.ProcessModifiedImage" but I get an error that "MyHook" has not the same signature as the Delegate
Delegate Sub ICameraEvents_ProcessModifiedImageEventHandler(ImageIndex as Integer)
I am creating a mediaplayer / playlist creator tool that basically imports MP3 songs into playlists (grids). I'm looking to add search functionality where the user can search all open playlists (or a subset of the open playlists). A Playlist is basically a collection of AudioFiles, where an AudioFile is a class that holds the filename of the MP3 file and then exposes the tags (Title, Artist, Album, etc) in public properties.
The idea is that the user can search for a certain expression (for example "the"), and that he can then choose whether to search in the title, in the title and artist, in the title or artist, in the title, artist and/or album, etc. However, I'm having a hard time implementing this and also having it kind of dynamic.
At the moment I am simply gathering all the AudioFiles from the open playlists (or from the subset of playlists the user chooses) and then running a simple LINQ query to find those AudioFiles where the Title contains the search text. Then I display the resulting AudioFiles in a new playlist window:
[Code]....
In case the AND / OR distinguishing is too hard, I would be happy to start with just letting it default to 'OR', so that the user can check Title and Album for example. If he would then search for 'a' then all songs that contain 'a' in their title as well as all songs that contain 'a' in their album should be returned. I guess that makes it easier, but I still wouldn't know how to dynamically create the LINQ query.
I'm wondering, when I add dynamically controls in runtime in the form - is there a way to save this controls, and they appear the next time when you run the application?
I'm using VB9.
A while back I asked a question on how to create EXEs at dynamically at runtime. This time, I wanted to know how to add code to your program dynamically at runtime too. Like if I had a textbox on a form, and I typed whatever code into it, then it would add the code to a subroutine and it would be executed. How can this be done?

there's a series of shared functions being used;everything compiles and builds ok - it's only during runtime that the error is thrown;the code itself DOES NOT use reflection to find any methods (but obviously the frameworkis doing some reflection)?

Dim Shape As New OvalShape
Drg.Parent =
Me
Shape.Parent = Drg
Shape.Size =
New System.Drawing.Size(10, 10)
Shape.FillColor = StampColor
Shape.FillStyle = FillStyle.Solid
But how do I write a click event now for any of these runtime created objects???
