Error: A Local Variable Named 'arow' Cannot Be Declared In This Scope Because It Would Give A Different Meaning To 'arrow'
May 24, 2010
This webservice is almost converted form VB to C#, except I get this error shown below on the DataRow arow object when I use it in the foreach statement below to populate the Results Class with a DataSet Object...
Error: A local variable named 'arow' cannot be declared in this scope because it would give a different meaning to 'arrow', which is already used in a 'parent or current' scope to denote something else

I've used this code before but only when I was serializing one array. Here I'm trying to serialize two and VB returns "local variable is already declared within the current block."Someone tell me how to do this correctly, pleases. I'm banging my head against a brick wall that I can't see.
I have some code and there are 2 errors which I don't understand I have tried all sorts...
1)The type for variable 'Index' will not be inferred because it is bound to a field in an enclosing scope. Either change the name of 'Index', of use the fully qualified name (for example, 'Me.Index' or 'MyBase.Index').
2)Function 'GetNewPhrase' doesn't return a value on all code paths. A null reference exception could occur at run time when the result is used.
I have a simple IF THEN ELSE block which checks for the presence of a querystring and then checks if it is set. The idea is that if no querystring, the form is empty and people can enter a new form. If there is a querystring and it isn't blank, a db query for the form data occurs, fields are populated and a user can update the form.
so here is my code block.
Dim strQueryStingCheck As String If Not (Request.QueryString("pid") Is Nothing) Then ' is there a querystring? If Request.QueryString("pid").ToString <> "" Then ' does it have a value?
[code]....
I am getting the "Variable is not declared; it may be inaccessible due to its protection level" for strQueryStringCheck ONLY on the Else code block - that is when I set strQueryStringCheck to "e". I can't figure it out.I've looked at other posts, particularly this one. and it was helpful. I can make the error go away, but I want to understand why I am getting it in the first place. I declared it within the subroutine. And if I was doing something wrong, shouldn't it throw an error on BOTH blocks of the IF THEN ELSE block? It doesn't when I set strQueryStringCheck to "u". Why only in the ELSE block?
I am trying to run this line of code: Dim OrderedFiles() As String = Directory.GetFiles(FilePath).OrderBy(x >= x.CreationTime)
I get an error on x saying x is not declared. I have my project set to Option Strict Off and Option Infer On. If I turn ON Option Strict then I get thousands of errors from the project(it is inherited) and I don't have the time to fix all of them, but x no longer gives me an error. I have googled until I want to throw my computer out the window.
I was hoping for a more elegant solution but here is what I came up with to solve this particular problem.
[Code]...
It is not particularly elegant but it does the job. I was hoping for a one liner LINQ solution and I just don't have the background in LINQ to know how to do the job, time to go buy a book.
Today I decided to come up with a program that would be useful for me in VB.net (I have never coded in VB.net before). All is going fine up till this point but I have hit a snag with the error mentioned above. The problem is with the windowssevenexistsonsource boolean under the get get of profiles comment. I will also take any code criticism well as I would like to get out of bad practices before I start! (the sub does end but I have not included that code)
Code:
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click 'Check that the entries required are not empty If String.IsNullOrEmpty(sourceipaddress.Text) Or String.IsNullOrEmpty(destinationipaddress.Text) Then
Today I investigated a logical bug in our software and figured out that this is related to the way VB.NET thread variables inside a loop.Let's say I have the following code:
Dim numbers As New List(Of Integer) From {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} For Each number As Integer In numbers Dim isEven As Boolean
[code]....
The problem is that isEven is declared but not assigned.In this specific case, it would be correct to write dim isEven as Boolean = false but I haven't done this.In VB.NET, a variable that is declared inside a for loop keeps its value for the next itaration. This is by design: [URL]but this is also dangerous pitfall for programmers.
However, until now, I haven't been aware of this problem/behaviour. Until now.Most of our code base is C# anyway, which doesn't allow the use of an uninitialized variable, so there is no problem. But we have some legacy code that is written in VB.NET that we have to support. So the best thing would be to generate a warning or even an error in this specific case.But even with Option Explicit / Option Strict this does not generate a warning / an error.Is there a way make this a compile time error or maybe a way to check this with FxCop?

I have some existing code to create an Excel spreadsheet and it works OK. I wanted to modify it to do some conditional formatting. But I get the messages xlCellValue, xlEqual, Formula are not declared and named argument expected. I have no references for Office or Excel.
Public myExcel As Object myExcel = CreateObject("Excel.application") myExcel.cells("C2:DG61").select() myExcel.selection.formatconditions.delete() myExcel.selection.formatconditions.add (Type:=xlCellValue,Operator:=xlEqual,Formula 1:="1") myExcel.selection.formatconditions(1).interior.colourindex = 48
I am getting 6 unused local variable error messages. If I comment out the variable, I get en error because it really is in use. I tried re-building project.

how to declare scope for variables outside their class?
Here's what i have in a class known Create_User: Public Class Create_User Public conn As New SqlConnection(My.Settings.HotelConnectionString) Public usercmd As SqlCommand
[Code]....
How can i increase the scope of these variables to be used in another class? I dont want to keep declaring them again and again.
I am getting this variable not declared for "OptionGroupsOption". You can see that in the first block I either Dim it as a new radiobutton or a new checkbox. So why is it saying its not declared?
'' 'If the optiongroup is required add the options as a radio 'Else add them as checkboxes. '' If CInt(dr.Item("intRequired")) = 1 Then
Say that i have the following code that parse about 20k records from the DB.
Code #1
vb.net While reader.Read() list.Add(If(Integer.TryParse(reader(0).ToString, 0), Integer.Parse(reader(0).ToString), 0)) End While
And then another code which does the very same thing but it seems to be a little cleaner.
Code #2
vb.net While reader.Read() Dim storeowner As Integer = 0 Integer.TryParse(reader(0).ToString, storeowner) list.Add(storeowner) End While
This is what i am confused about; does the compiler creates a new variable automatically when i use the if statement without strictly declared variable? What approach is better in sense of performance?
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.
I'm moving from VB6 to VB.net and there are a few things confusing. In vb.net, your program just automatically has a form, now the form in in a class and so it may or may not be there. In vb6, the main subroutine controls program flow and I don't see that in vb.net. However, my biggest problem is that I have a com dll that has a connect class with events. I need to be able to access these variable outside of that class. I don't understand how to do that. I can't seem to declare public withevents outside of the class and in the namespace so it can be shared with other code. Its say "not valid" in Namespace.
So what is the best way to do that. Do I create a set/get property for the class that holds this value? And, if I do that, is the connect class automatically instantiated as a part of the COM dll? Right now I don't instantiate the connect class, I assume the application does. But I'm not sure exactly how the property of the class would be set...perhaps I would need to call the property set from the on-connection method. Anybody know what the answer to these two questions are and this 3rd one? How can I have a variable that has "events" have scope across the entire project?
I have a public variable which seems to be going out of scope. I am confused as it has been dimensioned as a public variable: Public xlCell as As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Range
I originally had all my code in the same module in the same project and it was wrapped within a For/Next Loop (Example 1). I decided to clean up my code and make it more modular (Example 2). All the code is still in the same module in the same project.
Upon doing so, my public variable is not recognized in any of the private subs that I have created. I keep getting the following error: Message="Object reference not set to an instance of an object." When I test the variable using ?IsNothing(xlCell) in the Main Sub I get False in the main sub. this tells me te variable is recognized. However as soon as the Call SelectCaseSub() is triggered, I get a True value for ?IsNothing(xlCell). Why is this? Shouldn't this variable be in scope regardless?
I'm trying to create a simple media player that will scan a directory for certain filetypes, add them to a playlist then play a random playlist entry - changing every x seconds.I figured this would be simple in VB and, to an extent it was. I have the code running that chooses the directory and plays the random file.I just need to now make this repeat every 30 seconds or so.I have all the coded attached under the sub for the 'open' function of the player so it's quite flat. I think I need to use a timer here, to trigger the routine to pick and play the media every 30 seconds?In doing this I think I need to break the variables out of the function I currently have as they need to be shared between the timer loop function and the central 'creating file list' function.
I'm having trouble - I'm no coder (as you'll tell!) and although getting this far was easy I'm now (I think) bumping into threading / variable scope issues which are a bit of a brick wall.I've tried making the variables public / global by declaring in the class rather than the sub but I get errors at runtime. Presumably because of how I'm creating the windows media objects? [code]
where I should declare my variable when using forms and the scope in my test code.
In my code below I have declared variable x in my form1 which can be printed in form2.
But when I create a structure in form1, initialize an array of the type protorec and try to assign values to cards(1).firstname etc... I get a "declartion expected" error.
Why does it work for x but not for cards(x) my array of records?
I have put together the following code to illustrate the problems I've been struggling with:
Public Class OuterClass Private _OuterProp1 As Boolean = False Public Property OuterProp1 As Boolean
[code]....
I need to be able to refer to outer class properties and variables in an inner class, and I need to have a variable in one inner class set in a different class. I've tried Public, Private, Protected, Friend and all kinds of combinations of them, and I can't figure it out.
I'm working with legacy data, which often brings me one information splited in multiple columns. I'm trying to reproduce the following SQL query.[code]This own statement will run into the following exception:Variable 'line' of type 'SomeTable' referenced from scope '', but it is not defined. Any directions? I'm trying to avoid magic strings, but I'm always giving up to it (as using HQL the concatenation expression + like function works like a charm).
What does this error mean? I havent modified anything in the designer code, but its giving me an error? WithEvents variable 'Move' conflicts with event 'Move' in the base class 'Control' and should be declared 'Shadows'. The error relates to Friend WithEvents Move As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn
This program was created with vb6 to find and remove empty folders. i converted this program to VB.NET code and it isn't working like it should.. it seems to stop scanning at 'C:\documents and settings' instead of scanning other folders in other directories...Does this code look right? I can provide the entire program if needed... I just want to know why it isn't scanning like it should. Btw im switching from vb6 and trying to learn vb.net.. vb.net is a lot different..
Private Sub ScanForEmpty(ByRef vFolder As String) Dim nSize As Integer System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents() If bExit Then Exit Sub
[code]....
I get this message at the bottom:Warning5 The type for variable 'FolderObj' will not be inferred because it is bound to a field in an enclosing scope. Either change the name of 'FolderObj', of use the fully qualified name (for example, 'Me.FolderObj' or 'MyBase.FolderObj').
In one function I have the variable: dim StrProjectNumber = UCase("23-EXP-16284")
However in another form I want to use that same variable in a SQL query, and when I try it says the variable is not declared. Do I have to make a global variable or is there a way around it? If so, how would I go about declaring a global variable?
i have a ClassLibrary and i set some Private Variable like: Private _Test as string and i have to get the value frome Database and set it to my valiable and after that i want to set some function that return it like:
Public Function GetTest() as String return _Test end Function
