How To Store Multiple Objects (of Different Class Types)
Mar 22, 2012
My brain is fried at the moment, so here's the scenario.I have a form that adds a member to my VB.NET application.When I press submit I add their details: name and number as well as what products they want (internet and phone). Internet and Phone are their own class as is member.
I want to add that they HAVE whichever they have chosen and with the member store it.
[Code]...
As what happens is once the member is created (stored) I will go to input how much they have used, and then store that. But to do so I will need access to the internet and phone classes, which are associated with said member.

How best to manage multiple dat files for serializable objects of the same class. If one of my data files goes past a particular size, I want to create a new file. I then loop through both files when I do processing. Is there any easier way to do this and what's the best size to do this at in terms of performance?

I want to compare two objects whose type may be diffrent.
For eg, I expects 'true' for comparing 1000.0(Decimal) with 1000(Double) . Similary, it should return true if I compare 10(string) and 10(double) .
I tried to compare using Object.Equals() , but it did NOT work.It return false if two objects have different data types.
Dim oldVal As Object ' assgin some value
Dim newVal As Object 'assgin some value
If Not Object.Equals(oldVal,newVal) Then

I have a question (suppose to be simple). The question related to reading text file which is in the below format.
[Code]....
What I want here is to store the first data column in the file to be stored in AreasString and 2nd column in Level, 3rd in Importance and so on untill the end of the data. In addition, How can I check the type of data? For example, if I want to say: If 10.25 is double then msgbox ("it is double") else msgbox ("it is integer")

I am in the process of learning LINQ to Objects. I am querying an array of reference elements using LINQ. In the code below, which I have marked with asteriks and PROBLEM, I am having difficulty returning any values for and I suspect its because of the multiple Select arguments.

In Vb6 you could make a private type by doing the following:
Private Type PointAPI
X As Integer
y As Integer
End Type
Vb.Net doesn't support this. I need it to store the x and y position of a certain pixel. I know i could just declare an x and y variable but i would rather use something like:
xyCentre.X = 5
xyCentre.Y = 10

"Create a class called Invoice that a hardware store might use to represent an invoice for an item sold at the store. An Invoice should include four pieces of information as instance variables--a part number (type String), a part description (type String), a quantity of the item being purchased (type Integer) and a price per item (Type Integer). Your class should have a constructor that initialize for each of the four instance variables. Provide a property for each instance variable. If the quantity is not positive it should be set to zero. If the price per item is not positive it should be set to zero."
I attached the code I have. obj is underlined and says "Argument not specified for parameter 'Invoice4' of the 'Public Sub New (Invoice1 As Object, Invoice2 As Object, Invoice3 As Object, Invoice4 As Object)' and so the program won't run. What am I doing wrong?
Public Class Form1
Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim obj1 As New Invoice(Val(TextBox1.Text))
TextBox1.Text &= obj1.Invoice1 & vbNewLine
TextBox1.Text &= obj1.Invoice2 & vbNewLine
TextBox1.Text &= obj1.Invoice3 & vbNewLine
TextBox1.Text &= obj1.Invoice4 & vbNewLine

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.

I'm trying to store a set of objects and I need to be able to access them in constant time based on a particular property of the objects. I was hoping to do this by adding the objects to a HashMap and using the property that I want to index by as the key. Is there a HashMap object in VB like in Java, or should I use something else?

I need to Store Objects with Key like:
Key: <Fontname & FontSize> / Object: <Font Object>
Example content:
ArialRegular8 | <Corresponding Font Object>
ImpactItalic10 | <Corresponding Font Object>
TimesRomanRegular12 | <Corresponding Font Object>
These font types come from an external library, the real type is DocumentFont, I prefer not to store just values and recreate the font object later, so I need to store the object, and i want to be able to call Contains() later without looping. like for example Dictionary (of T Key, T Value), is this the best option? Also, to be able to call Contains(), i will have to overload function Contains() using an Interface or this is already built-in in some Collections / Dictionaries when using a String as Key?

[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?

I am not sure I am doing this correctly,I want to get a multiple number of file types (gif, jpg, png, etc.) and store them in one variable so I can access all the files in that var. I read that GetFiles doesn't allow for multiple patters, so how do I do this so I can have more than one file type in a variable?
Dim aryFiGif As FileInfo() = di.GetFiles("*.gif")
Dim aryFiJpg As FileInfo() = di.GetFiles("*.jpg")
Dim aryFiPng As FileInfo() = di.GetFiles("*.png")

So you know how PHP internal functions usually return a boolean FALSE when a function fails, or some other data type when the function succeeds? Is this possible in VB .Net?For instance, lets say this simple code here Public Function TrySomething(ByVal Param As String) \what would go here??
[Code]...
You see I want to return a BOOLEAN false when a function fails, and a string when the function works. I've looked everywhere, and when I search for "return multiple types" all i find is Tuple.

Is there any performance hit (or other problem) to creating a lot of class and structure types for a project? I'm not talking about the number of objects existing in-memory during runtime; rather just defining a lot of object types during design time. I find myself making a lot of small classes and structures that are little more than simply packaging a few related variables together.

I am trying to design a table type structure that contains rows and cells. I intend the cell class to have a value property. I'm trying to work out how I can create a value that can return some defined different types e.g integer, single, date, string. I'd like the cell value to be strongly typed, but I am unsure how best to get this working.
My thinking in code so far:
Public Class Cell
Private _value as object
Public Property Value as Object // How can I define this so that it return a Type
Get // e.g. integer, string, etc
Return _value

Is there a way to have a class collection of inherited types be initialized? For example, here is my code:
Public Class CamryCar
Property Name As String = "Camry"
Property Color As String
End Class
Public Class RedCamry

I prefer this one as I don't have an extra property to deal with. But I can find a way to initialize that that list with objects of RedCamry and BlueCamry. Is it impossible or is there another way to do this?

I am working on a project where my class has to execute VB code provided by the user, to make it simple I am trying to recreate my own eval function, I am using the following code I found on the web to do this task.
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System
Imports System.Text
Imports System.CodeDom.Compiler
Imports System.Reflection
[Code] .....
The problem with code is that it can't access any variables or there values, so I have decided to get the variable names, there values types and there types dynamically and recreate them in the class that is being created dynamically. Any way to get the variable names there types and values in the current class or method, so that I can recreate them, and execute the user passed code, the user knows what variables are in the current class or method and there datatypes but he don't know there values as they may have changed, so he can't initialize them. Is there a way to do this, this code will be called in an asp.net page on page_load event, the code passed by the user is stored in the variable vbCode that is passed as a parameter.

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]
