I have a class written in VB.Net exposed to COM via the ComClass & ComVisible attributes. The class is then made available to VBA via a TLB. In VB6 you could easily mark a member hidden in the object browser but still available with a check mark. In VB.Net the only way I found to make a member hidden the VBA object browser is to prefixing the name with an underscore.
Is there a way to hide a member without underscoring it?
url...If a base class has a members, say a property, that you do not want exposed through the inheriting class then it appears to be not possible (at least with VB.NET) to fully remove the member so that consuming code of the inheriting class has no awareness of that member at all.I know there are ways to make it less prominent or to shadow it so that its functionality or appearance has been altered, but I'm just talking full removal all together.So my questions are:
1)Is my assumption correct (for VB.NET but I'd also like to know which languages do allow for this technique)?
2)(more importantly) What is the driving principle in OOD that supports this restriction?
My guess on question 2 is that inheritance is fundamentally about extensibility rather than the opposite (what is that word anyhow?).I suppose a base class should be protected so that the original intention is not changed so much as to be radically different.At that point one shoudl make a whole new class.But is there a principle behind such reasoning, if true?And is it really a "sin" to want to completely remove only one of a hundred members to essentially tweak the look or feel of that class?I can live with this restriction, but it has peaked my curiosity and I'd like to hear from others on the subject.For the sake of discussion here's a sample class try to make an inheriting class (multiple inheritance is okay too) in which DataSource is notvisible or usable under any condition.[code]

The code below works fine on Windows XP but raises "InvalidCharacter in path" exception on Windows 2003. It works on Windows 2003 when I remove the underscore from the foldername. I don't have a Windows 2003 machine at hand right now so I was wondering whether the underscore is a reserved character on Windows 2003.

I've been running the same project on the same computer for months now in VS2010.
There have been no code changes to the class that contains the following [code]...
Recently, when I compile, I get an error that my class must implement event ValueChanged.
When I remove the underscore and bring the Implements piece to the same line, it compiles.
If I then undo checkout and revert it back to what the code was before, it compiles.
I have a series of variable values that use an underscore to represent the space between words (e.g., abc_def_hij or klm_nop). When trying to display them as label.content (e.g., MyLabel.Content = DataType) the label always suppresses the first underscore. The examples I gave would display as abcdef_hij or klmnop and I can't seem to find anything that defines this anomaly or how to alter its behavior.
View 4 RepliesI have a directory with a bunch of sub folders. I need to add a number and underscore to the main folder and all sub folders.
Example
Subfolder
Atmos_Energy
I need it to say
05_Atmos_Energy
There will be 500 subfolders, How would I have a form that can name all the subfolders at once?
I have several HotKeys setup in my program that functionally are working, my problem is with the dispaying of the text.

FYI the background is set to transparent.

I have 2 tables Table A & Table B Table A has the table values that I want to be populated in a datagridview control.The challenge is that column 1 in table A contains an ID(foreign key) to a name field that is a located in table B. I need the datagrid to have the first column be a combobox that displays the names(from Table B) that are already in table A via the ID's, but reference the populating values from Table B. So that when you bring down the combobox you would be choosing from Table B data but populating table A with the ID and you would see a name there instead of an ID.[code] How do I populate my DS dataset with Table B? And how can I create a link to these two tables using a bound datagridview control?
View 1 RepliesI've made some good progress with my first attempt at a program, but have hit another road block. I'm taking standard output (as a string) froma console CMD window (results of dsquery piped to dsget) and have found small rectangles in the output. I tried using Regex to clean the little bastards but it seems they are related to the _ (underscore), which I need to keep (to return 2000/NT logins). Odd thing is - when I copy the caharcter and paste it into VS2K10 Express it acts like a carrige return?Going to try using /U or /A CMD switch next..
View 2 RepliesI get this error if I follow these steps: Change property Y of an object (an associated entity property)
Attempt to submit changes At this point the value of Y and the value of X (the underlying key) are not in agreement -- LINQ to SQL apparently doesn't synchronize these until GetChangeSet is called.An expected error occurs due to some business logic or database level constraint during the update operation.At this point the value of Y is in agreement with X because GetChangeSet was called.Change the value of Y to Nothing (aka null).Call GetChangeSet.
The error occurs on the last step because the value of X and the original value of X (returned by GetOriginalEntityState) are different, and the new value does not agree with Y? Is that why? Is this a bug in LINQ to SQL. Must be because I don't see the same behavior if I change Y to another (non-null) value instead during step 5. What's the right way around this? I can see a few ways:
Discard the DataContext when an error occurs and leave the UI as-is. I don't like this because then optimistic cocurrency change conflicts cannot be detected. The new context doesn't have the original values in it that were populated at the same time the UI was populated, so if the UI has any stale values in it, they will cause data in the database to revert.Refresh the datacontext (OverwriteCurrent) and leave the UI as-is. I don't like this for the same reason as #1.Refresh the datacontext (OverwriteCurrent) and re-populate the UI. I don't like this because then the error message just presented to the user does not show the user the error they made and allow them to correct it. It also discards all the other changes the user may have made.When the error occurs, explicitly retrieve the key for Y that corresponds to the original value of X and reset Y, then call GetChangeSet to re-synchronize X (X is read-only or private so I can't reset it directly). This seems to work, but seems like a hack, and may require lots of code for other similar errors.
I know I have done this before and as I remember it should be really easy. But for some strange reason I can't do it now and I am about to jump off the building.I will make it simple:Two tables, one is just a list of products and their code.The other table: "details" has a field named product. I want to store only the code there.In the second table's entry form, I am putting a combobox. This combo box should display the list of products, their names, but depending on which one is selected, the code is what is passed to the table "details". Currently If I set the display member to product and the value member to code it still pases the product to the binded data source.

How do I set the default selection in the combobox based on the ValueMember of the combo box?
View 2 RepliesMy Regex works, except if the email address entered has an underscore character (_) in it.
Because of my lack of experience with regular expressions, I'm not sure where in my pattern I'm supposed to add the offending character to allow it:
Dim pattern As String = "^[-a-zAZ0-9][-.a-zA-Z0-9]*@[-.a-zA-Z0-0]+(.[-.a-zA-Z0-0+)*." & _
"(com|edu|info|gov|int|mil|net|org|biz|name|museum|coop|aero|pro|tv|[a-zA-Z]{2})$"
He said he fixed it by adding the _ after the numeric check.
I see the A-Z0-9, but I'm not sure which is the numeric check...
I'm curious if it is possible to hide a group of text boxes from view in a form until a particular condition is met, and to have a custom set of text boxes for that condition. To give an example; I want radio buttons offering choices for a manner of searching records, the user selects one and then a specific set of text boxes are displayed for the user to utilize, if a different option is chosen a different set of text boxes will be shown. Is this something that can be done?
View 7 Repliesin VB.NET you implement an interface like this...
Sub SomeInterfaceMember()
Implements ISomeInterface.SomeInterfaceMember
End Sub
while in C# you do it explicitly like this (which can only be called via the interface)...
void ISomeInterface.SomeInterfaceMember(){}
or more simply, implicitly like this...void SomeInterfaceMember(){} // Note the name matches the interface member However, regarding VB, I can also do this...
Sub SomeRandomMemberName()
Implements ISomeInterface.SomeInterfaceMember
End Sub
In other words, the method that handles the implementation can have a completely different name than the interface's member name.I'm just wondering if there's something similar to this in C#. (Yes, I know I can simply do an explicit interface, then access it via another 'wrapper' member with a different name that simply delegates to it, but in VB.NET?
