Dynamically Creating And Referencing Objects?
Mar 17, 2009
I 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.

I dynamically (by programming text, not drawing in GUI) created a matrix of 10x10 buttons named 'Button1' till 'Button100'. In a formula I calculate a number, say '87'. If I next want to reference 'Button87' and change e.g. the background clolor and text properties, how would I do that? I am creating a PocketPC game using VB2005.

I 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?

I 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]

I made a browser and its awesome but i want to reference the browser name so that i can add script to it, I am calling the new browser window "wb" cause that's what it gets named in the script. here is my code. (it labels the tab, the window, and changes the URL text field)
Private Sub wb_Navigated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowserNavigatedEventArgs) Handles wb.Navigated
TextBox1.Text = wb.Url.ToString()
Me.Text = CType(TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls.Item(0), WebBrowser).DocumentTitle & " - My Browser"
[code]....
It says "Browse.Name = "wb"" so thats why im trying to call it "wb". I inserted a WebBrowser on the form named wb and then tried to run it and it worked, it labeled the window, tab, and changed the URL field. So i know that the script works. Please help me, I know you guys can solve this, I'm really new at this.So my final question is... What should I call the browser instead of "wb" when I am referring to it in the first script I posted above? I am so confused. How do you refer to an object that gets created dynamically?

I'm just trying to reference report objects (specifically textboxes).For example, let's say from a form, the person has to enter a specific title each time the report is run; or they have to enter something that has to appear along side each record in the detail (List) of the report each time it's run.
How to you pull the info on a form into a report? Is this even possible in VB? (it was quite easy in Access)I've tried in the Form code something like: My.Forms.Form3.ReportViewer1.textbox1.text = My.Forms.Form2.TextBox2.TextBut of course it says "textbox1 is not a member of Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportViewer" Then I've tried adding an Expression to a textbox in the report itself in an attempt to try and pull the data from a form. The Expression for a Report textbox went something like =My.Forms.Form2.TextBox2.Text

writing a program which stores and uses information on oil pipelines. I have a number of worldwide sites, which each have a number of pipelines. Each pipeline has a number of segments, and each segment has a number of properties like flow rate, temperature, pressure etc. There are also going to be a number of cases, so the temperature of a segment in case 1 might be different to case 2.
What is the best way to set this up in terms of objects and references? I�ve done a fair bit or reading about arrays, collections, classes and think there are a number of ways to �skin this cat�For example, if I wanted to reference the temperature in case 1, of segment 3, in pipeline 4, at worldwide site number 3, then can I do something with a load of objects and collections like the following?
site(3).pipeline(4).segment(3).case(1).temperature.value
Is it possible to have an object heirarchy, where an object has a parent object, and both objects have their own attributes and fields?

I have a tools strip menu item with dropdown items that are created dynamically.
For Each file In files
Dim newMenu As New ToolStripMenuItem(FileNameOnly(file))
tsmMachType.DropDownItems.Add(newMenu)

So how would I go about setting up or creating events for these items? I need to have a check event and click event for each of the items.

So Im iterating through the properties of a class. For each property Im iterating through a datatable until I find a column name with the same name as the property.
No worries so far, here's the isse: Once I've found a match I want to set the class's property to the value in the datatable but I'm having difficulty referencing the property as it has to be done through a variable.
Code:
Dim per As New Person
Dim t As Type = per.GetType
For Each p As PropertyInfo In t.GetProperties

I 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?

how to create a class yet, and I think I need to learn how.I am wanting to shorten my code in a form, thinking of creating several classes to do so.Lets use a Listview as a reference if you dont mind.Say there is a listview, you have a numeral amount of if statments to fill by. Is there a way to create a class(is this the way to go) so that you can open the class to modify that specific block of code? Example of questionYou have multiple items you need to add for each if statement. Animal as a group Dog as an item 14 years as a sub item Cat as an item 11 years as a sub itemIs this the way to go, if so how do you create a class and call it from a form?Davids Learning

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

I 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.
Dim newhydzone As PictureBox
newhydzone = New PictureBox
newhydzone.Name = "Zone" & Form1.hydzonecount

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]

I 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 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.

1) Add a Private variable named _area2) Associate the _area variable with a Property procedure called Area3) Change the CalculateArea method to a Sub procedure. The method should calculate the area and then assign the result to the _area variable.4) Include a parameterized constructor in the class. The constructor should accept one argument: the side measurement. After using the Public property to initialize the Private variable, the constructor should automatically call the CalculateArea method.At this point I believe I've completed the first 2 steps for the Square method, but I'm not sure where to go from therHere is my code for the Square class and the Main Form, in tha order:
Public Class Square
Private _side As Integer
Private _area As Integer

1. Write a Visual Basic Console Application which creates two DateTime objects. One DateTime object should be used to store a value for date purchased. The second DateTime object should be used to store a value for date paid. See below for more information.
2. Assign values to the two DateTime objects.
3. Use the toString method to display the two DateTime objects.
4. Compare the two dates to determine which date occurred first.
5. Compute the number of days elapsed between the two dates.
6. If the date purchased occurred before the date paid, display: The number of days required to receive payment was ________. Replace the _________ with the number of days computed between the two dates.
On the other hand, if the date paid occurred before the date purchased, display: The number of days this order was pre-paid was _______. Replace the _________ with the number of days computed between the two dates.
If the two dates are identical, display: The payment was received on the same date as the purchase.

I am working on a simple windows app that will take our TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider Key and IV from a file and use it to Encrypt and Decrypt strings, etc...This works great and has for years in a utility program, but I want an easy app that can read the Key and IV...following format in the txt file:
[KEY] {123,123,123,123,132,132,123,...}
[IV] {23,23,23,23,23,...}
And then create the Encryption Pair...Currently I have the following
clientDESCryptoServiceProvider = New _
TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider
clientDESCryptoServiceProvider.Key = New Byte() {111, 222, 333,...}
clientDESCryptoServiceProvider.IV = New Byte() {1,2,3,...}
Is there any way to pull the {111,222,333,...} and {1,2,3,...} from a text file and create the Byte() that is required?I can read the info from the text file, but cannot seem to create the right format for generating the Byte()?
