1. How to return the variable name itself? Public Class test Public Shared as String = "111" End Class I want to return AAA but no 111, test. = "111", and test. Tostring = "111"
2. I want to join the space char into the variable, for example A B but no AB, how to do?
working with: ASP.net using VB.net connecting to MS SQL Server
What I'm trying to do is take the result of a SQL select query and place that in a string variable so it can be used in things like a textbox or label. code so far that doesn't work...

This is my simple code that calls a function from a class I created called "clsNetwork". The function simply pings a computer from a computername I pass it and returns the results.
Dim PingStatus As String
PingStatus = clsNetwork.PingComputer(ComputerName)
txtbox.text = PingStatus
I was wondering if there's a way I can make my objects return their own variable name as a string, something like this:
Public Class MyClass
Public ReadOnly Property VariableName() As String
Get
[Code]....
Is this possible? I'm fairly sure it should be possible through the System.Reflection namespace, but I can't figure it out.
I wrote the following two functions in a class to take a gpib reading and also take a measurement from an LCR meter.
HTML
Public Function gpibRead(ByVal Channel As Integer, ByVal buffer As Integer) As String
Dim readingBufferA1 As String
Select Case Channel
Case 1
readingBufferA1 = gpibLCRA1.ReadString(buffer)
Return readingBuff
[Code] .....
When on the main form I call the funtion takeMeasurement(1) how can I get the LCR readings back. If I try and use readingBufferA1 on the mainform it doesn't recognize that as a variable. I know that it is taking the reading and storing the correct numbers because I am monitoring on NI Spy.
Can't seem to figure out how to use a function return variable in global Dims[code]...
I have also tried adding "FixPath()" under Sub On_load() but got same result. Also the reason I have to have these global is because I have around 30 Subs that refer to "Path" Variable.
I am writing a program with multiple forms (for inputing loan/financial information - so they are set up exactly the same albeit a form number (ie: 1-6)) that feed into a summary page form to display each individuals form's information. When the user closed a financial form, it then feeds the information to a summary page using the code I have below: [Code]. I am new to working with functions, and have not been able to find anything that can show me how to fill multiple textboxes with them (I only know how to return a variable using the function to work a calculation). Any way that I can write a function (or any other call) for this would save me a tremendous amount of coding, and make debugging worlds easier.
View 3 Repliesexcuse my stupidness, i'm fairly new to VB and i've only done a little bit with it before. Basically i am making a little application that i want to run on my machine. Standalone not via a web browser.I have a web page which is generated using php, there is no html code on the page simply a number, e.g. "9995" when you view source.
All i want to do is return this value from the web page (without actually opening the page in a browser) and display it in a text box in VB or store it as a variable that i can use later. point me in the correct direction or right keywords to research, or if you have a simple example that would be even better

Say I've got the following variables:
Public Shared x As String = "100"
Public Shared y As String = "text"
Public Shared z As String = "something"
[Code]....
But this doesn't do what I want, naturally. What I want is that my function giveVar returns the value of the variable that holds giveVar. For example I call giveVar("x") I want my function to return "100".
Of course this can be done by a Select Case but thats not what I like to do. Is it even possible to call a value based on a string?

View 8 RepliesWhen trying to register a new user on the server, the server will post back messages such as "OK" and "usernameTaken". Upon comparing this returned string with another string (to perform an action based on the returned value), the compare isn't working.
Dim backupX As New CBackup

Dim str1 As String = backupX.registerUser("user1", "testpass")

Looks to be like the socket code is working just fine.. each Function returns the corresponding Functions' Return value (registerUser -> SocketSendAndReceiveMSG -> sendAndReceiveMSG -> receiveMSG).
When i press the button3, i want the webbrowser change site after how mutch the clock is. Is the clock between 9:00 and 17:30, the webbrowser is gonna change to swedish sites. If the clock is between 17:31 and 21:30, the webbrowser is gonna changes to american sites. But the webbrowser is only choose ONE swedish site and ONE american site. The problem is that the variable b does not save the value it has before.How to i make so the variable b saves the value it has before? b = b + 1 is gonna be first 1. Then if i press the button3 agin, it gonna be 2. and if the value is 3, it gonna be 1 agin.

It's often the case that I can write a nice tight little VB.NET function, and when it comes time to do the Return statement, it's really natural to just return the result of a quick calculation or a method call. However, this makes it difficult if I need to step through the debugger to see what is going to be returned from that Function. For example, take this simple method to illustrate the concept[code]...
View 3 RepliesI'm wondering whether its possible to have a function's return type and input arguments as a variable.
For example this function:Private Function MyFunction(ByVal argument1 As VariableType) As VariableType
[Code]...
What's best practice (in VB.Net):
Function GetSomething() as String
GetSomething = "Here's your string"
End Function
or
Function GetSomething() as String
Dim returnString as String = "Here's your string"
Return returnString
End Function
Obviously, neither of these implementations make any sense, but they're just meant to illustrate my point. Is there anything to be gained by using GetSomething itself to store the return value instead of declaring returnString locally and then returning that (does it avoid having an extra string allocated/instantiated - and if so, are there any performance/memory benefits)?
I am using OleDb, trying to do this:
Dim d as Date = DateSerial(Year(rptDate), Month(rptDate), 1 - 1)

I know that d is the same date as the one in SQL server, specifically 3/31/2011 12:00:00 AM.

I'm working up a system where I plan on using RealProxy objects to enable intercepting method calls against a set of objects, handling the call, and then returning appropriate results. This works just find for simple return types like strings or ints, but I can't seem to return objects from the RealProxy.Invoke method. Everything works. I get no errors, but the returned value is always NOTHING, instead of an object.
I've worked up the smallest sample code I could, and have included it below. Essentially, just call RPtest and single step through. The code creates a simple object, RPTestA, with a string field and an object valued field It then retrieves the string

The variables in the brackets [example] do not actually have brackets in them in the original code. These are where the issues are. For both variables, it says, "The type for variable [variable] will not be inferred because it is bound to a field in an enclosing scope. Either change the name of [variable], or use the fully qualified name (for example, 'Me.[variable]' or 'MyBase.[variable]')." Now, I'm not entirely sure if this is a stupid question or not, as I'm used to VB '98 because that's what we use in my programming class at High School. let me know why this won't work.
-Note: The intention of this program is to continually loop the generation of numbers for this list until I tell it to stop. Button1 ends the program, Button2 generates the list one time only, Button3 is supposed to loop the generation of the list, and Button4 is supposed to end the loop, but not the program.
Say that i have the following code that parse about 20k records from the DB.
Code #1
vb.net While reader.Read()
list.Add(If(Integer.TryParse(reader(0).ToString, 0), Integer.Parse(reader(0).ToString), 0))
End While
And then another code which does the very same thing but it seems to be a little cleaner.
Code #2
vb.net While reader.Read()
Dim storeowner As Integer = 0
Integer.TryParse(reader(0).ToString, storeowner)
list.Add(storeowner)
End While
This is what i am confused about; does the compiler creates a new variable automatically when i use the if statement without strictly declared variable? What approach is better in sense of performance?
I am looking for a good resource on variable naming conventions to illustrate variable type and where variables are declared. So I will have public variables, Private variables, private or local variables. I also may want to declare variables with the same name in different class code (i.e. in the code behind different forms). I am assuming good coding would dicatate a prefix for declaration location.

Now I have the need to get a current value from a bindingsource in a property of a user control.In a previous thread I had tracked down the "Object variable or With block variable not set" to the return in the Get block of a property. At the time I was only using the Set so I just commented out the offending code until I needed it.
[Code]...
The error does not occur during a system compile, only upon saving the container object of the user control. As I said the Set works correctly, only the Get causes the error.I would like to know what I am missing/misunderstanding and am open to other suggestions of handling retrieving the current value of a bindingsource in a user control.
Using Visual Basic 2008 Express. I need to pass a variable to another form. Or else make the variable visible to both forms.
