Function That Will Convert Input String To Actual Object
Jan 12, 2011
I have an object with a number of properties (let's say object.one, object.two, object.three). There are about 30 of these properties and they all hold a string ("Pass" or "Fail"). Right now the existing code checks whether the property has value "Pass" or "Fail" and then runs some code that prints stuff out. That is, the same snippet of code is duplicated 30 times, one for each of these properties.
The code looks something like this
If (object.one = ... )
...
End if
If (object.two = ... )
...
End if
If (object.three = ... )
...
End if
I want to use a loop to clean this mess up (each block is huge), but am not sure how to do it. I was thinking perhaps there was a way such that I might be able to construct a string like "object.one" and run some function that will tell the compiler that this is actually an object's property? That way I could create an array containing the object's name like my array = {"object.one", "object.two", "object.three"} and then do something like, in pseudocode
For each string in my array
If (some_function(string) = ...)
...
End If
Essentially, it would take those massive blocks of duplicated code and reduce it to just one block. Is there such a some_function that I am looking for? This is in VB.net.
In My project, i have Multiple Forms in which same Function name with return values. i like to convert the String name to Form Object and try to call the user defined function in the corresponding form from the Module I am using vb.net 2008 .
This function doesn't work if I change the input argument 'pdu' from a string to an int.Would someone please help me figure out what to do here so that the checksum does not add the ascii value of the int argument but rather the actual integer value?I took out a few lines of the actual function but it adds the input argument to a packet sent out via TCP protocol.This function shows the integer value just fine in the string that gets encoded as a byte array. the checksum is wrong.!
''Public Function buildpacket(pdu As Integer) is what I want. Public Function buildpacket(pdu As String) Dim packet As String
What I am trying to do is scan through the arraylist that has the number of the label control and concatenate this to the word "label" to end up with "label1", "label2", etc. Then I can then set it's visible property. The values in the array are based on tests in the code.
I haven't hit upon the right way to convert the string "label1" to the name of an object.

as part of a small encryption program i am making, i am converting the contents of a textbox to hashcode. I used the built in feature for this:.GetHashCode Now once i have the hash code how do i convert it back to regular letters?
on my Bookings program i've got a listbox where i can select the booking date of each room, and then i can see the details "UserID, time start time end etc". When the UserID is read from the database it takes the user id number (which its supposed to) but now i want to take that number, and match it to the actual "User Name" and then display the Name.this is what i've got so far;
Dim BookingDetails As New SqlCommand("SELECT UserID,......(and the rest)
then i execute the reader
Dim drBookingDetails As SqlDataReader = BookingDetails.ExecuteReader
and then i'd want to convert the read data, into the actual user name?
There appears to be a problem when I use the CallByName function in my actual script. While testing it I used some hardcoded arguments to pass to the procedure in CallByName function. This worked fine. In the actual script these arguments are coming from an XML file. When I read this XML document the values are string values by default:
I am looking for a way to convert my List(Of string) into an Object in vb. So in the end it would be the same as declaring Dim cArray() As Object = new Object. Can anyone point me to how i can achieve this? I cannot use the LINQ .ToArray as that creates a string array and this is not acceptable for my work. I need to pass this object into another one that has the parameter (aArray as Object).
I have a problem here for converting object of array to string of array in my VB.Net code. The object of array is quite long and contains 6 sets of data here.
Dim varReturnResult As Object Dim varMapData As Object Dim StrMap() As String varMapData = varReturnResult(2) StrMap = Split(varMapData, vbLf)
I encountered this error "Conversion from type 'Object()' to type 'String' is not valid." when trying to retrieve the StrMap value.
I'm reading a string from a text file, and want to use that string as the URL for my web browser object. The error I get is it needs to be URI, but I am completely lost on how to make a string into URI.
I have a string value of form names in my DB so when my condition passes, the variable string will take over the value , then that value will call the form(variable) as string.
I have a string variable that contains "19:39:43", I would like to convert that to a date object. When I try I get a formatexception was unhandled error during debugging. I want to convert it to format of hours:minutes:seconds but cannot see how this can be done..
Code snippet: Dim strtxt As String = "19:39:43" Dim Datevar As Date = Date.ParseExact(strtxt, "HH:mm:ss tt", Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture) I tried just "HH:mm:ss" but not sure if that worked...
I have got this error No default member found for type 'VB$AnonymousDelegate_0(Of SqlDataReader,String,Object)'.

I have a JSON response from a web service that I need to be converted to an object then to an array. My response is similar to the one below:
{"status":{"error":"NO","code":"200","description":"none","message":"Request ok"},"geolocation":{"lat":"38.89515","lng":"-77.0310"},"stations":[{"country":"United States","regPrice":"0.00","midPrice":"0.00","prePrice":"0.00","streetAddress":"1401, I St[code]....
I am doing this is VB.NET within a console for now. Basically I am trying to create a simple way to test my API calls and output the information. What I am trying to accomplish is having to loop through the JSON array and list the stations.
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
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.
PD: I'm currently using Newtonsoft's JSON.Net library.
