View 4 RepliesI've now properly started implementing OO into my system (which I probably should have done from the start) but I just want to clear some best practices.So let's say I have a class called Job which contains information such as Description, Project Manager (Employee class), Value etc. at the moment, if I initialise the Job class it will initialise all the information held within it, even if I only want the job description. Is it best practice to do this or is it better to implement the class and access the database for values as and when they're needed? Or is it just better in those cases to just access the database directly?

I am a C# programmer but I have to work with some VB.Net code and I came across a situation where I have two methods on an interface with the same name but different method parameters. When I attempt to implement this interface in a class, VB.Net requires explicitly declaring "Implements MethodName" after the method signature. Since both method names are identical, this is confusing the compiler. Is there a way to get around this sort of problem? I suspect this must be a common occurrence. Any thoughts?
N.B. This was more a case of the programmer not verifying that the interface in question had not changed from underneath him.
Do i have to implement the serial port in the interface again if i have put it in the behind code? Do have any links that can make me understand.
View 8 Repliesi may be misunderstanding this but on MSDN i believe it says that it is good practice to implement the Dispose destructor in every class you write. should i (do you) really implement the IDisposable interface with every class i write? also, is the proper syntax for implementing an interface to put the "Implements" keyword on the line after the "class" declaration? i put it on the same line as "class" and I got an error.when coding the method implemented by the interface, is it mandatory to follow this syntax, as an example: Public Sub Dispose() Implements System. IDisposable. Dispose.
View 3 RepliesI am working on a general helper class to sort ListView SubItems. I wrote a base class that has much of the code I need. It includes a MustOverride for the Compare method so that the various inherited classes can implment their own comparisons based upon their type. For the value types, I end up with very similar code such as the following, where x and y are ListViewItems: Public Overloads Overrides Function Compare(ByVal x As Object, ByVal y As Object, ByVal sortColumnIndex As Integer, ByVal sortOrder As System.Windows.Forms.SortOrder) As Integer [code]
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to make a .dll that contains a lot of basic functionality that a program can use. Currently i am trying to use interfaces to make a lot of this functionallity independend of the program using it but i hit a snag. The Basic idea is that a programmer will create his own object using the interface discribed in my .DLL file. Then implements those functions as he likes. He can then instanciate a controller (found in the same DLL) and sends his custom object implementing the interface to that Controller. The controller can then be started and will take over all the work. I do not know what type of object is send to the controller and idealy i want to program it in such a fashion that i shouldn't care as long as the object send implements that interface.In code I am trying to achieve the following: (quite simplyfied)
.Dll:
Code:
Public Interface MyInterface '<----Decleration of the interfaceFunction GetData() As Integer
Function SetData(Data As Integer)
end interface
[code]....
this propperly. I know that the second i set the interface adaptor in the Controller VS comes nagging that it can not be converted to a "MyInterface" Class. Obviously i am doing something wrong. I can change the datatype that the controller expects to the "MyController" type but that would completely ruin the whole idea of flexibillity. I am hoping someone sees what i am trying to do and can point out where i made the thinking error.
All my data objects implement an interface IFillable
Public Interface IFillable
Sub Fill(ByVal Datareader As Data.IDataReader)
End Interface
In the objects themselves you will typically see something like
Public Class Supplier
Implements IFillable
[Code]...
Now here is the tricky bit. Given that all my property names WILL ALWAYS match my database column names what I want to do is using reflection generate the fill method at compile time and infer the types and column names for the datareader.I am assuming I will need to structure this functionality as some sort of a tool/vs plugin? What I am looking for is guidance on the best way to go about this.
PS: BTW: Obviously I could easily do this using reflection at runtime but I dont want to take the performance hit for it (Although theoretically if I could cache the values somehow (static class?) it might not be too bad).
How do I limit an Interface when defining it? What is the correct technical term for what I am describing?For example, I want MyInterface to only be implemented for objects that implement IList(Of T) and ICollection(Of T).

View 2 RepliesWe have a web service solution in VB .Net 2005 that we have started getting an error in. We provide an interface like the following:
Public Interface IBatchTrackerService
Function InsertBatchTracker(ByVal BatchTrackerObject As BatchTracker, ByRef errorNum As Integer, ByRef errorMsg As String) As Integer
End Interface
In our class we implement this interface with the following code.
Public Class BatchTrackerService
Implements IBatchTrackerService
[code]....
This code was working properly but has now started causing errors. The error we receive is:
Class 'BatchTrackerService' must implement 'Function InsertBatchTracker(BatchTrackerObject As BusinessObjects.BatchTracker, ByRef errorNum As Integer, ByRef errorMsg As String) As Integer' for interface 'IBatchTrackerService'.
The odd thing is that the project compiles correctly, but shows many of these errors after the compile is finished.We recently installed Panda as our virus protection which caused a different error that I found the solution here for.
Updated 4/21/2009 at 11:50 Both the interface and the implementation are within the same project in the solution.
Updated 4/22/2009 at 08:16 I tried removing the BusinessObjects identifier from in front of the BatchTracker type but I still get the same thing. This is just one example of what has happened throughout the entire solution. Every implementation in this BatchTrackerService is flagged as an error, plus there are several other services that have almost every implementation flagged as an error as well. But somehow the project builds successfully, and yes, it runs properly!As for BusinessObjects, it contains many of the classes we use as parameters and it is simply another project within this solution. We do not reference any external assemblies to provide these classes to BusinessObjects.
Updated 4/22/2009 at 08:24 The last thing I noticed was that any function/procedure that doesn't use a 'BusinessObjects' class as a parameter, but simply uses strings, integers, etc is not flagged as an error.
Updated 4/22/2009 at 09:50 I tried reverting back to a previous version and I was able to compile and the error count stayed at zero. I narrowed it down to a check-in of one of the project files where the reference to BusinessObjects was slightly changed. I reverted just this project file and everything compiles fine now.
Recently I needed to compare a suggested pattern for IDisposable and object finalization with the auto-generated one we which VS2005/VB.NET provide. We have used the auto-generated one a fair bit, but after looking it the two side by side I had a number of questions about the VB.NET implementation..

Overall I am confused by the supposed added value of having an extended code-path that executes when Dispose() is called explicitly(as opposed to having a common path that is executed regardless of whether or not Dispose() was called explicitly). how it does anything other than delay the actual release of managed resources if Dispose() isn't called directly. In essence it seems to only work to make the managed resources unreachable in the object graph, orphaning them until the 2nd GC run rather than freeing them at a point where they are known to be no longer needed.

I'm having trouble porting some .NET2-era C# to .NET2-era VB.NET. Specifically, I am trying to define an interface that an ASP.NET user control will implement.(For background, I am trying to re-implement Phil Haack's Model-View-Presenter example from several years ago: http://haacked.com/archive/2006/08/09/ASP.NETSupervisingControllerModelViewPresenterFromSchematicToUnitTestsToCode.aspx)
The C# interface I'm working from defines properties and events (IsPostBack, Load) that are already implemented by the base control.However, VB.NET is forcing me to explicitly implement these properties/events in the user control (Public Property IsPostBack() As Boolean Implements IView.IsPostBack...). I'd like to just define these in the interface and not have to do anything special in the code-behind of the implementing user control.I'm assuming that I can do this in VB.NET, I just don't know how. I've spent all sorts of time googling/bing-ing, and haven't come up with the answer.
I'm making a custom class that mocks the System.Drawing.Rectangle class because the Rectangle class doesn't have a name property. I need a name property because I am adding all of my rectangles to a collection and I need a little more info stored than just their locale and size. So I changed the _onPaint event but nothing is working out when I run the program?

I am trying to create a class in VB.NET which inherits a base abstract class and also implements an interface. The interface declares a string property called Description. The base class contains a string property called Description. The main class inherits the base class and implements the interface. The existence of the Description property in the base class fulfills the interface requirements. This works fine in C# but causes issues in VB.NET.
