This is my scenario. I am writing an app which takes a person object and a features object , when the user selects a person object a features object is created. This works for any amount of features i care to display. So far so good, i am now refactoring to create 2 additional classes, a maths class and a ui class. my issue now is how do i get the maths functions to know the instance of the features object(s) or person object(s)?

I have created a simply Pizza program (for a summer project not education related) that uses check boxes to determine what the customer wants. Basically a simple pizza ordering program.I was wondering as I have used the If statement over and other again for different parameters and variables, is it possible to use multiply arrays to simply the VB Code...I was advised to use Constructors in VB.Net Or is there a more simpler way to go about creating this program...or a better way of programing?What about decreasing the repetition in the code?

View 4 RepliesI am working on a project which use files with a .HRZ extension. These are image files with a simple red, green, blue, red, green, blue structure. There is no header of any kind. I know how to display these files in a picturebox or convert them to a bitmap, but of course Windows 7 does NOT know what they are, so just shows a blank icon in the OpenFileDialog. How easy would it be for me to add support for this file format to Windows and/or the OpenFileDialog so I can show a thumbnail of each file? I can create my own file browser but I would really like to use the OpenFileDialog if at all possible.

I've been working on my game for a while, in a non-online multi-player state it is complete. My goal is to add LAN or Internet Play support.My game is coded in Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express, It relies heavily on timers.Currently you play against the AI, and there is a Local multiplayer mode, using mice, controllers or the keyboard.At the moment, it is a two player, (Or 1 player against the AI) game, from my understanding the standard Client-to-Server option wouldn't very efficent, the best choice would be a peer-to-peer system.That being said, a lot of the stuff could be done client side, like for instance, the particle engine and Dynamic Rendering.[code]

I use VS 2005 and VB.NET. I have a class A. This class A is an empty class(no functions, no members). I wrote the following code: Dim _a as new A(); Dim code as String = _a.GetCode() In the same situation, the C# refactoring tool in VS 2005 IDE propose me to create a method in the A class internal string GetCode(){ }
The VB.NET compiles does not propose anything. There is a way to implement the functions when I need it in code, or I need to planify all my methods before using the class?
I am currently learning vb.net for my new job and I have mixed feelings over public fields. I see many arguments about them hurting the encapsulation. In python, the common practice is to keep things simple and use fields when they are enough. If we want to add logic later, we just refactor them into a property without breaking anything for the client code.In the codebase I am working with I see huge classes containing dozen of properties like:

I recently started a project and needed to do some integration with LDAP via DirectoryServices. I've done this in other apps so I went into one of them to see how I did it -- why reinvent the wheel right? Well, while this wheel works, it was developed years ago and kinda smells (it's wooden, firmly attached to the previous vehicle, hard to repair and produces a potentially bumpy ride).So I thought to myself, this is the perfect time to refactor this puppy and make it more portable, reusable, reliable, easier to configure etc. Now that's fine and dandy, but then I started feeling a tad overwhelmed regarding to where to start. Should it be a separate library? How should it be configured? Should it use IoC? DI?
So my [admittedly subjective] question is this -- given a relatively small, but quite useful class like the one below, what is a good approach to refactoring it? What questions do you ask and how do you decide what to implement or not implement? Where do you draw the line regarding configuration flexibility? [Note: Please don't bash this code too much okay? It was written a long time ago and has functioned perfectly well baked into an in house application.]

I want to add DataMember attributes for the properties in a class Is there any way to automatically add the attribute maybe some refactoring tool
View 4 RepliesI have a class that I wrote fairly early on in my vb.net programming experience which inherited from another class it really should have composed. The base class is a relatively generic nested dictionary-based collection; let's call the descendant class a "Car".Right now there's a lot of code that does things like 'MyCar!Color.st = "Red"' (I use the generic collection rather than real properties to facilitate data interchange with code written in VB6, and also to facilitate comparisons of cars; given three cars X, Y, Z, I can e.g. detect any changes between X and Y and apply those changes to Z).
Is there any nice way to refactor the code to use composition rather than inheritance?Which properties methods should the "Car" object wrap, and which ones should be accessed through a data-object property? Should a widening conversion be defined between a car and the collection object? Are there any gotchas when doing such refactoring?
These routines (vb.net) allow you to dump a gridview to CSV, even if there are templated controls in the cells. It works, but I'm not thrilled with it.
What improvements should I make and why?

I've been working to refactor my code and ended up with a quite clean main BLL class that has only a few manager classes that pass information between eachother. They handle separate tasks/areas like socket connection, data, etc. It's only one instance of each of these manager objects, so I believe maybe the base layout is a structural singleton (?) ..but not sure. This seems to give quite good oversight and a clean separation of PL/BLL as the main form only access the BLL through one instance of a single class. But now I'm trying to figure out how to lay out the presentation layer. So with this I would like to understand a few points: Do you have all controls as members of the form class, or can you make sub classes where some controls only exist on lower levels? Like for example if you have a tab where all controls only interact with each other, and not the rest of the form, would it then be possible to make this a separate class that holds both controls and additional logic ? The first problem I get when trying this is with the events, as if I simply move an event handler method to another class than the form class, I get the message: Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of its base types.What does this mean? and is there an easy way around this? I would like to understand how a slightly more complex PL is designed, so I know what direction to move in for studying/developing this.
