How Many Objects Inside Of A Class Is Too Many
Jul 1, 2011
I'm fairly new to the concepts of OO programming - actually programming in general as I am still a student. I'm currently working as an intern in a department that has me coding a new structure that will probably be the base for all their applications to come. So I believe I have the idea behind OO down where you create "basic building blocks" and then expand, expand and expand, until you arrive at the most complex object (for the time being). I need to put all these "advanced" objects into one but how many is too many? Can I have 100 objects inside of this bigger object if it requires all these "parts".I really hope this question makes sense to everyone. I'm sure the answer is not going to be a definite answer either but I just need a rule of thumb to go by. I'd really hate to have 100 objects inside of 1 big one if there is a better design/programming technique. [code]

I have a program like this.
Module Module1
Public Class Mstr
Public Property Prop1 As String
Public Property Prop2 As String[code]....
But it is not working as I expect it to. You can see it from.The DtlsB properties of all three DtlsA objects are having values from last iteration.

Base class has one field to hold numeric balance value. With 2 methods that accept arguments for adding and subtracting the new input calculating new balance. Sub class has four fields dates, transaction, memo and amount.I have a deposit form, and withdraw form. Each time one transaction is entered it creates an object with sub class fields, then adds to the account collection. My problem is not understanding how to call the deposit/withdraw method and pass the current transaction amount back to the base class to alculate the new balance. Does anyone have any links to information/tutorials on how to perform something like this? As you can see with my code I have tried various different approaches without any success.

Create a class named Service. Inside the Service class, declare a class variable named Started. The datatype of this variable is Boolean.Public Class Service Dim started as Boolean End Class Create a class named Server. Inside the Server class, declare a dynamic array that can contain elements of the type Service.(Note: For convenience, both the array and the variable Started can be accessible from a client program that creates an instance of Server and Service respectively)
Create a constructor for the Service class. When the constructor is executed, it will set the value of the class variable Started to True. Create two new classes: WebServer and DatabaseEngine. Both of these classes inherit from the class Service. Inside the Service class, declare a Sub procedure (method) named Terminate. This method should display the following text Service stopping in a message box when executed.This method can be overridden in classes that inherit from Service class.
Inside both the WebServer and DatabaseEngine class, override the method Terminate inherited from their base class Service. Both methods should first call the base class Terminate method. The messages Web server stopping and Database engine stopping should also be displayed in a message box when the Terminate method for the WebServer and DatabaseEngine are called respectively. These messages should only be displayed if the Started variable inherited from their base class is not equal to False.
Inside the Server class, declare a method named Shutdown. This method does not return any value. When executed, it will call the Terminate method for each of the Service instances (if any) in the arrServices
array. You should call the Terminate method within a For Each loop that loops through the elements of the arrServices array.
In the Sub Main method, create an instance of the class Server. Set the size of the arrServices array in
your Server instance to contain 2 elements. Create first a WebServer instance and then a DatabaseEngine
instance into this array. Call the Shutdown method from your Server instance.

I have a 'property management class' that contains several functions and properties. I have several other classes that use the 'management class' as a property to derive the value of several of its other properties.Is there a way for me to reference the outer class from the 'management class' functions without having to pass it as a parameter? I ask because several different classes can have this 'management class' as a property and am having a hard time typing the parameter.

I have a "partial" class in VB.NET. Half of it is auto generated by a code generation tool. That half implements INotifyPropertyChanged, so any properties in that part of the partial class raise the PropertyChanged event.In my "custom" part of the class, I declare another property that depends on one of the properties in the auto-generated side. Therefore, when that auto-generated property changes, I also want to raise a PropertyChanged event on my custom property that depends on it.
If I go into the generated part of the class and raise the event there, that will get overwritten if I ever re-generate that part, so I don't want to do that. I would rather add an event handler in my side of the partial class that checks if the generated property changed, and if so, raise another event for my custom property.
[Code]...
I'm assuming it's because normally you'd use the WithEvents keyword to tell the compiler that you're subscribing to events from that object. I don't have a clue how to do this inside of the class that's actually raising the event, or if that's even possible.

[code]The reason that this is a problem is that this is a collection of EventBase objects, but I'm trying to populate it with child classes instead. For example, I might have a JumpEvent class that inherits EventBase, and this is being put into the EventBaseCollection. That means that value.GetType() returns the type of JumpEvent, which as you might guess does not equal the type of EventBase.The goal of course is to simply loop through all of the various events without having to know anything about the sub-classes. Is there a way to determine the type of the base class so that the OnValidate call will work? Or is this just the wrong way to go about it altogether?

say you have a sub containing an io.streamwriter. That streamwriter is declared and used only inside that sub (and not as static). Should you still call dispose on that streamwriter or is it disposed automatically as it is no longer in use after that sub, until you call that sub again?

I have a VB class inside which one of the methods accepts an array of forms. For each form inside the array, I need it to traverse all of the objects, check if they are a specific tyoe (input, label, checkbox, etc.) and get the properties of each object. Then, I want to dump these into a text file in the following format:

Haven't coded in a while, and ran into a wall when setting up my program data structure
So I have something like this in a class file;
Public Class X
Public Stuff as Integer
Public Stuff1 as String
[Code].....
I want to structure my program this way, what's the best way to go about that?
I want to access multiple data types in the same array from within a class, as it should be a subset of my base class etc... and want to be able to change the size of the array
Or is this class array within class nesting a dead end?

Currently, if I have different classes containing functions etc, I would structure them all in the 1 VB file titled whatever the main Class is. For example:
[Code]...
However, the problem with this is the file can become 1000s of lines long making hard to find portions of code. Is there a way I can store SubClass in a file such as MainClass.SubClass.vb so that its easier to locate classes? Or is there a better, more standard, way of doing this?

I'm having problems doing a sort of a custom collection. The collection is Device Classes which is a collection of Device Class. My sort does not produce an error but the treeview control shows nothing. I am not sure what I am missing. I'm guessing just a simple sort won't work here but I don't know what I'm missing in my code. Here's the code that creates the collection

Simply sorting the treeview will not work because it throws off the display of related info for a given device in listview controls. The collection itself needs to be sorted before the data is added to the treeview.

I'm trying to create a list of all my objects from several lists of objects using Union.
Return Chart.AnnotativeNodes.Union( _
Chart.DecisionNodes.Union( _
Chart.EndNodes.Union( _
Chart.StartNodes.Union(Chart.WorkCenterNodes))))
The above line gets an error because I can't union List(of AnnotativeNode) with List(of DecisionNode). Each list defined like List(of EndNode) or List(of StartNode), but each class inherits from the base type Node.Is there a possible way to union these to get a result of IEnumerable(of Node)?
