give me a good resource that explains the difference between a Private, Public, Shared Functions/Sub/Variables? I normally use Public for Subs/Functions inside of Modules I call from other parts of the program. But I'd like to get more of an understanding of how and when to use them. I want as little as impact to a system that is running my programs as possible, so i guess the key here is I'm trying to just get more proficient in my coding.

View 18 RepliesI have a question regarding the design of the Date object in the .Net framework, more specifically the Now property.I know that Now is a property that is a Date type. (This makes sense since I see the methods .AddHours(), AddYears(), etc) If Now being a class(or struct) how does it return a value directly.For example: How would I create a class or struct in C#/VB.net that would allow me to do the same without calling a property of Now?[code]To me it seems like you would have to call a another property off of TodaysWeather. But with the Datetime.Now example you don't.[code]

I was thinking of through a DLL WinAPI call or maybe a delegate function or smaller program?
2) Does anyone know of a MS link or area that gives instruction on "how to" use every function of every Windows DLL at all?

While converting types, I have found myself using both VB functions and BCL Convert.To* methods.
E.g.)
Cstr() vs. Convert.ToString()
CInt() vs. Convert.ToInt32()
CDbl() vs. Convert.ToInt64()
etc...
Are there any subtle differences that should be noted?
Is there a way to see exactly what the functions are doing. What i mean is there a way to see the class? I know what it does, i just want to know the code.
For example the function: Membership.FindUsersByName()
I'm redoing a program for my company and my boss wanted me to created the entire thing through functions...
For the task I wanted to know is it possible to have functions within functions?
Sort of like in C where we would have nested structures?
Its a FILE I/O, with robot commands, moves and verifications....
So I would find the line in an excel spreadsheet where it moves, the coordinate, put it into an array.
Take the actual results store them into a two dimensional array...etc, etc....
Another function would eventually compare the results with the moves, and within a tolerance.

View 4 RepliesI have made quite a good library for calculating Math problems like Quadratic Equations and many other. Now I met a friend, and hes programming a little in VB, and we were thinking if it is possible to import my functions from C++ to his code, so he can call them, when they are needed, so we can make a calculator? How can we do that?
Edit: My friend is using VB.net
Edit: My library is organized in free functions.
I am not sure if i am using these in the correct manner. Basically i have an app that downloads a file from an ftp server (i am kinda cheating cos i am using chilkat). Now if i put the code directly in the form i can get it to do a progressbar.value = ... in it['s own sub.What i decided to do was stick my ftp download parts into a dll i created. Created a function within the dll and i have a return on that which returns the message 'file downloaded' or 'no file to download'. But can i return a value to update the progress bar as it goes when the code is contained in a dll? Or am i totally missing the point and how to use dlls?
