I want to use C# and VB.Net in Eclipse 3.7 Indigo.VB.netI could not find the plugin about VB.net in Eclipse.So I want to know is there a plugin for Eclipse that allows you to write C# or VB.net code using the .Net Framework 4.0 or 3.5?
View 1 RepliesSimple question one would think, but I am having trouble finding the answer. Eclipse.org promotes eclipse as being a Java IDE, but has many plugins and extensions. I was wondering if maybe there is a plugin or extension that would allow me to compile/debug vb.net projects in eclipse?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to put together a plugins system with .NET, and I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly. The basis of the system is that a specific directory ({apppath}/Plugins/) will have a bunch of precompiled DLLs, and I want to look through each one with reflection, and for every class available, if it inherits a specific base class (this is defined in yet another DLL, but I'll go into that later), then create an instance of it and call a specific function in said instance.
Public Sub ScanPluginsInDirectory(ByVal Directory As String)
Dim Plugins As New IO.DirectoryInfo(Directory)
Dim Files As IO.FileInfo() = Plugins.GetFiles("*.dll")
[CODE]................
The specific problem I have is, I'm not sure this is the right way to do this. Would the method I'm trying to do work, if it can be assumed that A.Plugin() actually exists and any structures and classes referenced here are bug-free?
expand my program by allowing people to make plugins for the program. I thought of a way to do this: They can make a form/plugin on a form in VB then they can save it and upload the Form1.VB file and when you put that in a folder made by my program in "My Documents" my program will run that form like its, its own.

View 2 RepliesFirstly, I understand that this might sound more or less abstract, but this is because I have no previous experience in such applications. I completed an application using Visual Basic and is running and tested. What I want to do is
to make this application expendable i.e I could write other pieces of code and I would just plug it in to the application "somehow" and it would be added as a functionality.
I know .NET no longer supports DDE however unfortunately most "Finance" related programs (ie, charting and data vendors) use DDE to tie into their data. (Ie, esignal, Marktfeed etc). I've been toying around with NDDE however I'm having a hard time implementing it...unless I'm just making 1 request then it's fine. My question is would it be possible to take VB6 Label Control since it has the "Linkmode, LinkTopic, LinkItem, Label_Change" Properties/Methods and events in it....and create something like DDELabel.dll via Activex control project then use that as part of VB.net?
I tried doing it via the Control Wizard then using it in .NET however I know for a fact I'm not doing it right. Perhaps if someone much more competent could attempt it see if it does give the DDE functionality when used in .NET they can point me in the right direction...
Is there any object that supports column grouping in VB.Net. Because I've been trying datagridview with no success.
View 3 RepliesI have 5 different applications that I have written for my business, they are all interfaces for a point of sale system. I TCP/IP interface handling part of the application is rock solid, problem is that occationally I will come across a small issue, such as a memory leak that I came across a few weeks ago. After I fixed it, I had to then fix said leak in 5 different projects as they all use the same interface base code.Now, if things were different, say a function that all my applications used I would just write it into a class in a dll and have all my applications use the function from that class. Problem is however, using a parent/child explanation unlike my example here where I have interface 1 - 5 as my parents using common.dll as a common child. I need to have InterfaceParent using 5 different children with different attributes.That being said, there are a few stipulations, depending on the customer I may only need to install interface 1 and 3, or 2 and 5, or 1,3 and 4.
View 2 RepliesI have a vb.net project that loads "plugin" dlls at runtime to crunch some data in slightly different ways and return the results. To do that, all the plugins implement the same interface, so the GUI couldn't care less how the plugin arrives at its final dataset, just so long as all the plugins deliver it back to the GUI in the same way.
I'd like to set up per-plugin options in addition to the main program options. I have an options form that accepts an object of type System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsBase and displays the contents in a PropertyGrid control, so it'll show any My.Settings object the same way. Question is, how do I pull the My.Settings object out from a plugin that's loaded at run-time?
how i would check to see if a given class supports the >, = and < operators?
Given an object passed in, I am looking for code that implements the following logic:
If GetType(someObj).SupportsScalarComparisons() Then ...
I don't know if this is a case for Reflection, or ?
I cant make a seekbar control using a windowmediaplayer and vlc plugins
View 1 RepliesWhile I've mainly been developing small applications for personal use, I stumbled upon making a touchscreen application for a close friend. While he is not very good at programming, he is pretty well at drawing/etc... So, I thought about expanding my horizons some.I already have code that loads images from a folder, and made that folder changeable via the program, so in effect, probably a horribly coded way of skinning some parts of the program (the buttons). But then I though about it some more and really wanted to learn a better way to make my programs 'expandable'.I have begun searching about how to make a program that can be used with plugins, how to make plugins, and so on... I am researching about dynamically changing controls and other things, so that when resolutions change, I don't have to code each individual buttons new size/location, and, most importantly, a way to implement patching/app upgrades...

how to create a stable plugin architecture. Stable because I plan on opening up plugin creation to the public but I dont want a sloppy coded plugin to take down my whole application.
So I thought of using an AppDomain per plugin and I did a little seaching. But it seems that even using a temp AppDomain to load plugins and then unloading it once all assemblies have been inspected raises complexity allot and I was planing on using an AppDomain per plugin.
I feel the gained stability (if there is any at all) may be raising the complexity so much the app will never be done..
Is there another way to both create a stable application and at the same time making it extensible?
I cases where the host calls a defined function via say IPluginInterface I guess I can pack a whole lot of try catch blocks around that call but what if a plugin insisted of a timed routine that would run continously without being invoked from the host other that a starting call to StartPluginService or something like that?
If I include a plugin like that in the default AppDomain and it blows up I sure will blow my own foot off right?
To avoid the TRY Catch Block, is there a way to determine if the control supports the specified event without having a try catch block?

I am trying to create a plugin system where plugins can be dynamicly loaded (we don't know how many there are, what their classes are called, ...)This is sample code for a plugin:
Code:
Public Interface IPlugin
Sub bla()
Function bla3() As String
End Interface
[code]....
This code SHOULD msgbox("yay") when it finds a type that implements my IPlugin interface. Yet it never finds one. I can't find what I did wrong. It gets to the debug.print("2"), but never gets past the "If GetType(IPlugin).IsAssignableFrom(t) Then".
I have been working on a UI app (written in VB.NET and using WPF) which creates charts using the Microsoft Chart Control for Windows Forms. The application retrieves data periodically from a remote database, parses and formats the data to create series, and then creates a chart based off the series which is then hosted in a WindowsFormsHost control. So far this process has been working well.
View 1 RepliesI have been developing windows and web application using Visual Basic 2005 for a long time. Now i want to change from Visual Basic 2005 to Visual Basic 2008. I would like to know what ever projects i have done in visual basic 2005 will works in Visual Basic 2008. Will the existing code in visual basic 2005 supports Visual Basic 2008 or do i need lot of modification. I haven't used VB 2008 but i hear that most of the code which written in visual basic 2005 supports visual basic 2008. What are the things i need to take care when working the existing projects in visual basic 2008.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to figure out an easy way to add custom plugins for the app for additional features, without people having to download a whole new update each time.i guess the way i'd want it to work is,the program will auto detect the plugin file. Then, add's a specific value to either a button array, or add's a picture, etc.Once that button is clicked, it will open a new form designed the way i want it. from within the plugin itself.So its a module.What would be the easiest way to do this?
