I could put a Textbox in a Panel then that panel is placed in a TabPage, how do I go out going through the hierarchy of the Textbox parent until reaching the TabPage? My purpose for this is if I want to focus on a Textbox then of course I would have to also select the TabPage where it is located, is there an easier way than what I am planning to do?

This is a challenging one that got me stumped while I was coding today. Suppose I am running the Sub Test1() and Test2() and would like to print out the value of the Shadows method of the instance of the object I am passing in to TestCall() (see below - it is clearer) using the following restrictions:
Can't change the contents of Class A, B, and C
Can't change Sub Test1() and Sub Test2()
TestCall() can't have an if, select case etc. statement that tries to figure out the type

I'm writing a Windows Forms application in VB.Net 2008, .NET Framework 3.5, and I am trying to handle an event created by a class that get's instantiated several times throughout the program. The thing is the events gets fired in the Functions class, but nothing's happening in the main class.I tried to change the called class by instantiating it in the beginning of the main class, by using 'WithEvents testEvent as MTO_Tool.Functions = New Functions' but that also didn't work.
Code:
' The main class:
Public Class MainScreen
WithEvents testEvent As MTO_tool.Functions

I am working through my Visual Basic Book 2010 book and came across this Program example:Create 3 classes that inherit from a base class named Shape. The Shape class has an instance variable that is the name of the shape and also a CalcArea() function that must be overridden by each subclass. You will need to create the following 3 classes and use the formulas provided to calculate the areas.
Square � Area = sideLength * sideLength
Circle � Area = pi * radius * radius (use Math.Pi for the value of pi)
Triangle � Area = � * base * height
Each subclass should have a constructor that you use to set the name and the attributes required to calculate the area with. Each subclass should also override the CalcArea() function that is provided in the base class Shape. They will also need to implement the toString() method that will print out the shape name, any attributes (ex: sideLength), and the area.It also includes the Shape base class. You will need to add the 3 subclasses and add the appropriate code.
I'm looking for advice to make my code efficient in terms of execution speed and memory usage. Basically, how to lay out my objects. The program displays parts of several data series in bar- or line- charts, as well as calculated series based on these data series. The key user input will be to change what part of data series to look at, and that input should trigger instant chart update, with minimal lag.

I am working on an opening search screen for a program that grabs information on a file for the user. Subfolders are defined by periods so some possible files include
FolderA.SubFolder1.SetupX.txt
FolderB.SubFolder2.SetupY.txt
FolderB.SetupX.txt
FolderA.SubFolder1.SetupZ.txt
When the search button is clicked all of these are populated into a list box currently using the following function's
[Code]...
The problem is that subfolders will continue to be created with unknown names. I'm thinking I need to use some sort of loop that counts the number of periods and then compares the directories using some sort of negative lookahead to group them. Im still unsure how I'll make it so Clicking Setup Y and hitting OK will be able to maintain that I am opening FolderB.Subfolder2.SetupY.txt and not just SetupY.txt

Deals at the top
Deals is a collection of Deal

how to organize the classes within my RPG project that I'm making. I've tried to implement a battle system but I am not comfortable with my initial results. This is the basic layout I currently have for my classes. [Code] clsCharacter contains statistics pertaining to one character, including magic available to that character to use. Also includes what weapons that character has equipped. clsTeam contains multiple clsCharacter, as well as a list of items that each clsCharacter in the team can use. clsBattle contains two clsTeams. One team is the player and the other is the computer. Now, this is a wonderful way to organize data. However, I see limitations with this approach. For instance, to pass data from Battle to Character, it has to pass through the team class and vice-versa. Plus, if I use Properties, it transfers data as ByVal instead of ByRef, so I cannot guarantee that I'm editing the original and not a copy of the passed object (IIRC)
In addition, I feel it is just messy code to include methods within the clsCharacter class that invoke this: MyTeam.MyBattle.DoAction(). Plus, the clsCharacter might not even be in the battle at the time - I don't won't to bog down that class featuring code that is exclusive for battling when I also need to be concerned about moving around the map, saving/loading data, etc. So, any suggestions? Right now, I'm burnt out of ideas. One idea I have so far is to include a function for the clsCharacter that exports a list of all possible moves the character could make, and if the character is CPU choose the most optimal one, and if Human than wrap it up in some nifty GUI so they can choose what action to take. But at the same time, how do I use that information within the context of the battle?
Any code snippet they could post that will take a specified folder & show the files & subfolders hierarchy in a TreeView?
View 11 RepliesI am working on a project using an EF 4.2 code first model. This model contains a TPH inheritance structure for products. I need to group the polymorphic results of this inheritance model on the discriminator and am running into some issues.
The entity framework does not expose the discriminator to complete this grouping. My first question is can I get direct access to this discriminator? My reading and experience is telling me no, so I came up with this solution that sort of works. It is not performing well and I am not happy with how it will need to be maintained.
My classes look something like this (simplified):
Public MustInherit Class Product
<key()>
Public Property ProductID as integer
[Code].....
Also, this can give me easy access to shared properties (Name) but now I don't have many options to cast these into their real type, maybe a select case around TypeName.
I have to write an inheritance hierarchy for class Quadrilateral, square and rectangle. Use Quadrilateral as base class of the hierarchy.
So for I had this:
Public MustInherit Class Quadrilateral
Public Function getName() As String
Return "Shape"
End Function
I'm trying to create heirarchy of classes in vb.net. I was able to achieve it in csharp by using the following tags in .csproj
<Compile Include="ClassA.cs">
<DependentUpon>ClassB.cs</DependentUpon>
</Compile>
Below snippet in the solution explorer would be as follows
I need to achieve the same in vb.net.
I'm new to vb.net. Can anybody tell me the alternative of <DependUpon> attribute used in .csproj equivalent in .vbproj. For some reason, this attribute seems to be ignored in the .vbproj even though it is displayed in the visualstudio2010 intellisence.

I understand the answer in the post above, which is absolutely amazing, by the way. It's about implementing interfaces with a class. However, what if a class needs to share features with another class?Yes, that class can an Interface. However, let's use this sample definition.

Or, in other words:An equippable item can perform acts outside of its typical usage of a shield or weapon. But not all items can act as a sheid or weapon.I mean, I could create a class that implements IWeapon, IShield, IMagic, IUseableItem, etc. But there should be a better way than returning NULL when those interfaces are called.
I just converted my project from VS 2005 to 2008 and started getting really bad lag only when intellisense iterates my dataset objects. The cpu maxes out one of my cores for about 2-3 seconds each time the intellisense list pops up. Is this a new feature of the 2008 ide?

I am somewhat new to object oriented programming and am attempting to flatten a Linq object hierarchy by using a shim class.how to initalize a derived class with property values from a base class?I have two objects, a base object with about 100 properties, and a derived object which inherits from the base object and adds a few additional properties beyond those of the base object. My simple constructor creates the derived object, but I am looking for a way to initialize the derived object properties with values from the base object.Right now I am using reflection to iterate over the properties individually and I suspect there may be a better way. The following example shows my shim class constructor for the derived class, and two properties:
newProperty1 - a new string property of the derived class
flattenedProperty2 - a new string property of the derived class, copied from a 2nd-level object of the base class
Code example:
Public Class derivedObj
Inherits baseObj
Private _newProperty1 As String[code].......
Is this the correct constructor approach to flatten the object hierarchy using a shim class? My second question relates to initialization of properties in the derived class. The constructor above creates the derived object, but what is the best way to initialize the derived object properties with values from the base object? The following code uses reflection to iterate over the properties individually, but I suspect there may be a better way.
Code example:
' property names are in the string array fieldNames
'baseObjQuery is an ienumerable of baseObj
'derivedObjList is a list of derivedObj[code].....
Is there a simple way to initialize values for the properties in the derived object based upon the values of the common properties in the base object?

View 2 RepliesI am looking for a howto or someone expert in ADO.NET who can explain me how to properly solve the following scenario:I have two datatables in a dataset:
ParentTable (ParentID, Name) for user data ChildTable (ParentID, ActivityID, ...) for schedule data
Tables are linked together at the database level by ParentID which is an Identity column in ParentTable.
Both tables are data bound to a separate DataGridView on the GUI. There supposed to be a "1 parent/N children" relationship between the tables, meaning if I create a new entry in the ParentTable (a new user) I get a clean DataGrid in the child grid to type schedule data for the user. So I setup two DataAdapters for each table to fill their result into a DataSet. I also set up a DataRelation object and assign it to the DataSet to link the two tables by their ParentID columns. Also when I add a row into the ChildTable via DataGrid I use SetParentRow to set the parent row.

View 1 RepliesI've come from a Assembler and C/C++ background, so I understand the concept behind reference types versus value types in vb.net. Also, I've read Jon Skeet's article regarding references and value types and I understand all of that. My question is: How can you tell if a given type is a reference type or a value type? Is it simply that all integral types (ints, floats, etc.) are value types and all classes are reference types? (If so, where do strings fall?)
