Use The MSDN Documentation?
Feb 28, 2010The regularity and frequency of that extolling is an indication of how many people, for whatever reason, don't use the documentation. Some say that I've forgotten what it's like to be a beginner, but I remember using the MSDN documentation as a beginner. I remember that I couldn't always find what I needed and I also remember that I didn't always understand what I found. More importantly, I remember that that didn't stop me using it first every time I had an issue and I also remember getting better at using it over time. So, I'm genuinely interested to know, if you don't use the MSDN documentation?
View 39 RepliesGenerating Documentation Like MSDN But Manually?
Jun 7, 2010there are tools (SandCastle?) that can generate an MSDN-like documentation (HTML files) from your source code by using the XML comments above members. I am looking to generate a similar documentation (bunch of HTML files that one can link through), except not from XML comments but completely manually.It is for a custom scripting language, I have to document the available functions, and it would be great if I could do that in this common documentation style. Since there are no XML comments to generate the documentation from (the documentation is for the scripting language itself, not for my source code of the scripting language?
What I'm looking for in detail is a way to generate these documentation files by simply supplying this information for each function:
- Namespace (just the name and maybe a description)
- Function name + description + return type
- List of arguments and their types
from this I would to generate a document where one can first view all the Namespaces, click one (they are supposed to be links) and view all the functions in that namespace. Then you can click on a function name and view its description and list of arguments for that function.In other words: just like these automatic tools do, except now I want to supply this information manually.
While writing this I thought of one way that I might be able to do it: just create namespaces and functions in actual VB code (corresponding to the scripting language functions) and generate the documentation from that, but
1) That seems a little contrived especially if a better tool is available,
2) I would be in trouble with the types of functions and arguments, since they would have to be .NET types and not the types that my scripting language supports.

May 17, 2012I'm working on my final assignment for my Visual Basic class, and the last assignment is to create a program which stores CD collection information. It works fine, but the task is to create a structure for the input information and use it in the Add buttons click event code.I'm not asking to have my homework done for me, but i'd like some advice on where I should declare the structure and how. Everywhere I try and declare it, it ends up closing that particular sub procedure or section. I've tried looking up plenty of help sites to learn about structures, but sadly they and the book are both very vague. The instructor also mentioned padding each entry, but that I'm pretty sure I know how to do

.net - Casting DataTypes With DirectCast, CType, TryCast?
Apr 24, 2010Ever since I moved from VB6 to VB.NET somewhere in 2005, I've been using CType to do casting from one data type to another. I do this because it is simply faster to type, used to exist in VB6 and I do not know why I have to be using DirectCast if there is apparently no difference between them.I use TryCast once in a while because I understand that sometimes casting can fail. I however cannot get the difference between CType and DirectCast.

OPTION STRICT: on

I need to populated a ComboBox and a CheckedListBox with a list of the Windows Accounts on the host computer. I also need to the user to be able to apply settings to the users individually. Thirdly, I need to find a way to add a startup registry key in the CURRENT_USER for a different user than the "Current User" (For example: User1 is an Administrator. User2 is a Limited Account [can't modify registry]. User1 needs to add Registry key to User2's "CURRENT_USER". This is a parental control application so the Admin accounts need to be able to access the registry from all users without affecting all users at once. I do not have any code to paste because I still have not the foggiest idea of where to start. I think it probably has something to do with an array (I have no experience with arrays whatsoever) but I am stumped from there. I'm a new, self-taught programmer so I speak idiot at times,

2) How do I populate the objects above with such a list?
3) How do I interact with the items on that list (specific user accounts)?
4) How do I modify another user's CURRENT_USER Registry key?

Class Structure - Large Structure That Has Lots Of Properties ?
Jan 5, 2010I'm new to VB 2008 after having spent a long time with VB6, so I apologize if this is a stupid question. But I'd really like to have this straightened out.
Let's say I have a pretty large structure that has lots of properties.
Code:
Now say that I want an internal database with about 10 instances of this structure total, describing, say, 10 different products that a store sells. When these values are loaded from a database, they remain totally static. (However, they can be different each time a program loads)
Now say that I have a class. Each instance of this class is a type of that BaseProduct structure. Meaning, each instance of the class pertains to one of the 10 types of products that the store sells. However, this class has additional properties that pertain specifically to each instance, which are not static.
Code:
Now, the problem here is... If I have 200 different transactions, each one contains an instance of BaseProduct. BaseProduct is HUGE, and is largely redundant (only 10 types possible), so I think it's a little silly to include a whole copy of it with EVERY transaction. However, the Transaction class really needs information regarding the base product it pertains to. Is there a way to, instead of declaring a New BaseProduct in the Transaction class, to simply make one of the properties of the Transaction class a pointer to a BaseProduct variable?
In VB6, I would accomplish this by making a BaseProduct(10) array, and then giving each Transaction an ID number referring to an entry in that array. But in VB 2008, using class structure, this is impossible. I can't define the BaseProduct(10) array outside of a class in a namespace, and if I define it in the actual application's form, then the class loses modularity since it relies on the application that's using it.
Converting Structure Within Structure To Byte Array For Socket
Aug 29, 2009I am trying to communicate with an external device and i am trying to send a byte array to the external device via sockets but i am always getting a response the message size is too small so i am not sure what i have done wrong. Between the data type there should be no alignment present and all numbers are represented in little endian format. The char array is not null terminated as mentioned in the protocol specifications.
I have to send data based on a struct that embeds 2 other struct. So here's my vb.net code for the struct used to convert to byte array and the sending part.
