Function - Pass Object Versus Reference Object In Parent?
Dec 1, 2011
I am working on a application that has quite a few functions involved and have been thinking of the following: If I have a function that has a few paramaters, is it more efficient to pass the objects to the function(Example 1) or reference the objects in the parent(Example 2)? Does it matter if the objects are large or not?
Example:
Class mainform
Public myGenericList As New List(Of String)
Public myDatarowArray() As DataRow
[Code].....

I call the function GetDataTable and when it gets to the return line, I get the error message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Dim DB As New DBConn
Dim gd As New DataAccess.GetData
Dim DT As New DataTable
[Code].....
Updated. I'll see if I can update with the DataAccess.GetData code. I didn't originally put it in there because our shop use it all the time and have no issues with it.

I have a statement that will call a Sub.
Charts(CurChartNo) = Server.CreateObject("ChartFX.WebServer")
Call InitChart()
Inside this sub, I will assign values to the properties of the Charts object that is
Public Sub InitChart()
Charts(CurChartNo).RGB2Dbk = &HC0FFFF&
Charts(CurChartNo).Chart3D = False
[code]....
But the Charts is not recognized in the Sub. This is current program under ASP, I am converting to ASP.Net.

I'm trying to give a default value to the register property method. This required a function, but passed as an object(delegate?).[code]....
I want to call that registerproperty method, but I don't know how I can do that in VB.net. I just need to pass along a new Person object and I thought this was the way to go[code]....

How do you pass a control (say a textbox) to a function as a parameter in compiled assembly using CodeDom? I've tried passing through the args in the Invoke method but it doesn't work.[code]...

If you pass the property of an object to a function ByRef, and the function doesn't modify the ByRef parameter, the property Set is still called.

This should be a fairly common question, but I haven't found a straightforward answer anywhere.
If I instantiate an object within a function in VB.NET and return it, does it return it be reference or by value. IE - should I be worried about performance if I write something like this:
Public Function ret_obj_func() As big_object
Dim ret_obj As New big_obj(<lots of stuff>)
Return ret_obj
End Function
If I call this function from somewhere else, will it instantiate the object in the ret_obj and then create a deep copy to pass back a copy to the caller, Or will it just pass back a reference?

when I was a comparitive novice to the novice I am right now, I used to think that these two things were syntactic sugar for each other, ie. that using one over the other was simply a personal preference. Over time, I'm come to find that these two are not the same thing, even in a default implementation (see this and this). To further confuse the matter, each can be overriden/overloaded seperately to have completely different meanings.

In C# we can do something like this:
Honda a = new Car(); and that works but the same one doesn't work in Visual Basic.NET (I am fairly new to Visual Basic)
Dim a as Honda = new Car and it says Unable to cast object of type 'SampleApp.Car' to type 'SampleApp.Honda'.
Here is my sample code:
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim a As B = New A

I have this bit of code
Private Sub SpellChkMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SpellChkMenuItem.Click
Dim activeRichTextBox = TryCast(Me.ActiveControl, RichTextBox)
'clsFS.CheckSpelling(activeRichTextBox)[code]....
When I am in the rtb and click on spell check button it tells me the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." On this line
SpellChecker.Text = activeRichTextBox.Text
But it is suppose to be getting the focused rtb correct? So why is it not referenced

VB 2008 .NET 3.5 Suppose we have two classes, Order and OrderItem, that represent some type of online ordering system. OrderItem represents a single line item in an Order. One Order can contain multiple OrderItems, in the form of a List(of OrderItem).
Public Class Order
Public Property MyOrderItems() as List(of OrderItem)
End Property
End Class
It makes sense that an OrderItem should not exist without an Order. In other words, an OrderItem class should not be able to be instantiated on its own, it should be dependent on an Order class to contain it and instantiate it. However, the OrderItem should be public in scope so that it's properties are accessible to other objects. So, the requirements for OrderItem are:

The issue is when I try to add a new item to the ArrayList with the following code, it gives me an error:

I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to be doing with this. It's a new setting I just added and it's empty, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it or not. Anyone know what's going on and what needs to be done to get it to accept a value and not want to be "initialized"?

I have recently gotten my hands on a free, open-source IMAP connection API.So far, I have been successful in creating a connection to one of my accounts.Where I'm getting stuck is retrieving folders and/or emails from those folders.Does there happen to be anyone here that is familiar with this API, or even Gmail (particularly the folder structure for IMAP)?
If not, here is a link to the DLL that is listed on sourceforge and the company's website that created it (if you feel like testing):
Koolwired
Sourceforge - Koolwired API
I have created a test account so feel free to use the code below without worrying about username/password issues; I'll just delete it when I'm done with it.Here is the code I have made so far for making a connection:
Dim gSession As New Koolwired.Imap.ImapConnect("imap.gmail.com", 993, True)
Dim gAuthenticate As New Koolwired.Imap.ImapAuthenticate(gSession, "imap_test@serysoft.com", "imap_test")
Try
[code]....
When I run that code, I get an error that states:System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not sent to an instance of an object. (The bold line in the above code).
Now, I'm not sure exactly what that means. Does that mean it tried to access the server and "INBOX" doesn't exist so it gets returned a NULL value? Or is it possibly the coding itself?Maybe the Gmail folder system is weird due to the fact they use labels (even though from what I have read online, the labels act as the folders in the IMAP system).
