Implementing Cell Class That Has Value Property Of Different Types
Jan 27, 2010
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
[Code] .....

I have a question thats been bugging me for quite some time now.Recently, I've created a ButtonRow control which is meant to host several buttons on its surface. These buttons are added through a collection property using the property grid of the VS IDE. The property is tagged with the DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content attribute.The objects in this collection are serialized to the designer code of the form or usercontrol on which the ButtonRow is placed. Now it all works fine and everything except that I cannot implement a Name property. I'll explain what I mean by this.
If you've ever used the DataGridView control, you'd notice that the columns work in the same way that buttons work for my control ie a serialized collection. However, the DataGridViewColumn has a Name property which can is used as the variable name when the column is serialized into designer code.
Example: If you place a DataGridView on a form and add a column and change its Name to lets say "AGreatColumn" then the designer would serialize the column as such:-
[Code]...
I went as far as using .Net reflector to decompile MS source code to see how they may have achieved this but I could not find the secret. Also notice that the designer serializes my objects using a Dim statement but the DataGridViewColumn uses a Friend Withevents declaration at the bottom of the designer code file(I didnt it included above)

I'm currently trying to create a class that is a composition of the SqlDataAdapter class (as unfortunately you can't inherit from it). In order to try and make it as similar as possible I'm using all the same inherits and interfaces as is documented on MSDN.The problem that I am having is that there are some properties where the interface specifies that the type of the property is IDbCommand. But in the SqlDataAdapter the property type is SqlCommand.

The following works in C#:
interface I
{
int X { get; }
}
class C : I
[Code]...
The error message Implementing property must have matching 'ReadOnly' or 'WriteOnly' specifiers is pretty self-explanatory, so I do know what's wrong here. It's also not a big issue, because it's quite easy to work around this limitiation. I'm curious, though: Does anyone know why the VB designers decided to treat this case differently than in C#?

I am working on a plugin architecture and after some reading I have settled on one. The host class will be implemented in C# as well as some of the plugins for that host. The issue I am having is that some of my team uses VB.net. So the question, is it possible to implement a C# (plugin)interface in VB, such that when it is dynamically loaded into the host program it will have the methods required by the interface.

Usually, if I make a class that has an implementation and also inherits a class with same method signatures, then I do not need to manually add implementation code. For example, if I create a class that inherits List(of Double) and Implements IList(of Double), then I do not need to add any code to make this compile, since the program realizes that the inheritance covers all the methods of the implementation. (Even though VB will auto-generate methods you can remove them no problem).
Now I'm trying do to something more complicated, using an implementation on top of IList, with a class that has a chain of inheritances, and the program won't accept it. See this example:
Interface ICustomList
Inherits IList(Of Double)
Sub TestSub()
End Interface
Class BaseList
[Code] .....
The final item, CustomList, is not compiling. The program says 'TestSub' must be implemented, but by inheriting BaseList, the class has a TestSub (and it is recognized by intellisense)! All the subs exist, they are functional, so why is the implementation not valid? (I know I can get rid of this error by manually creating an (overloading) TestSub in CustomList and specifying that it is an implementation. However, this should not be necessary since it already exists, and if I am going to be building a chain of classes inheriting each other, this could potentially become time-consuming and annoying.)

Consider the following objects:
Public MustInherit Class FileRepository
Public MustOverride Sub SaveStringToFile(ByVal FileText As String, ByVal FilePath As String)
Public Event FileSaved(ByRef sender As Object, ByVal EventArgs As EventArgs)
[code]....
I want my base class to raise the FileSaved event in it's implentation of SaveStringToFile once it's saved the file. However in VB.NET you can't have a derived class raise a base classes event. I suppose I can treat XMLFileRepository_FileSaved as a standard function call and have my SaveStringToFile implementation call it directly?

I am trying to create a class implementing the generic IComparer of my own class "Stellungen" (which translates to positions, like on a chess or checkers board).
This is what I got:
Private Class comparer(Of Stellung)
Implements System.Collections.Generic.IComparer(Of Stellung)
Public Function Compare(x As Stellung, y As Stellung) As Integer Implements System.Collections.Generic.IComparer(Of Stellung).Compare
End Function
End Class
Problem is: inside the function I have no access to any fields of my class. If I start off with x. Intellisense will only give me .Equals, .GetHashCode - the methods you get on a type but not on an instance. Visual Studio 10 also highlights this, in the definition of the function the bits "x as Stellung" and "y as Stellung" are written in light blue, meaning it is a type and not an actual object. How do I access the things I want to compare inside my class?

I am creating a generic class that is Implementing IList(Of T) which requires that I implement the GetEnumorator of both IEnumerable(Of T) and IEnumerable. When looking at the members of IList(Of T) I see only one GetEnumorator function, yet it implements IEnumerable(Of T) and IEnumerable. How can I use one function to implement both interfaces when the function definitions only vary by return type?

implement singleton in a parent class. Infact what I want is that All the childs etc. should use same instance of the parent.
I have implemented singleton, Changed the scope of parent class's constructor to "Protected". But in the application when ever the new child's constructor is called i.e. "Dim abc as New Ch1()" the constructor of Parent is called (as it is Proctected and can be access from child). Which is undesired behaviour.

The DLL implementing the interface has a reference to the one defining it. And the defining DLL is imported.

I am having trouble with this project I am working on. I am a beginner to vb and have some background in access databases. I will attach my am doing an inventory project. When you execute the form, a main form pops up that allows you to choose Production or Inventory. My issue is with the Production. In the production form that pops up after clicking Production, there are text boxes to be filled out by the user based on the production run.plementing a class that will give the box count based on the box type entered. I have to use a class based on the project requirements.
Basically to calculate the usage, enter in a random number for Pods Produced, then enter in a box type (which is A box, B box, C box, D box, Master Case). I want the Public Class Box Count in the code to be able to be placed in the production form's main class code and calculate the box count based on the box type entered. If A box, box count should be 50. If B Box, box count should be 100, If any other box is typed in, the box count should be 150

I'm dealing a problem in implementing interface for multiple class.
Assuming I have a class named Class Unu .
I created an interface called Test for those 2 classes.
The first class Unu has 2 data members(i=12 and j=12.17). When you run the program it stores the result on screen 24.17
The second class called Doi has 2 data members(a=20 and b=32.17).
What I want now is to do the same thing for data members a and b so that it stores on screen 20+32.17=52.17
My problem is that I want to be displayed also the result for the 2 data members for the second class on my screen. I implemented the interface on class Doi but I cannot see why he isn't displaying me the second result 52.17.
What I must add to my code to do that?
Here's the full code:

I have a very simple class that holds a few public properties - ID, Text, Colour, etc. and a Boolean called 'SelectedItem'. Just like the Checked property on RadioButtons, only one item can have its SelectedItem property set to True within a particular group. Note: there will be several separate groups (lists), each allowed to have only one item with SelectedItem = True.
My first thought was that I would probably just have to handle everything outside of the class, setting SelectedItem to False for every other item in a particular list when another item was selected. But that seems rather inelegant to me. So I've been trying to think of how this might be done within the class. For example: could I perhaps have a private string property called say "GroupName" - set in the New sub when adding a new instance of the class - and then use a private shared method to set every item's SelectedItem property to False, provided the item has the same GroupName as the newly selected item? I would have a go at doing this but I have no idea how to enumerate every instance of a class from within that class, or whether that's even possible. Is it? Or is there another (better) way to achieve my goal? Here is a cut-down version of what I've got so far:
Public Class ResourceItem
Public ID As Integer
Public Text As String[code]....
As can be seen: instead of instantiating a new ResourceItem and passing that as an argument to the manager's Add procedure, I'm simply passing the details of the new item and the procedure is creating the item from those. I don't know whether this is a good or bad idea - please advise - but I've done it because I couldn't figure out how to make the SelectedItem property only writeable by the manager, so I wanted to avoid having directly accessible objects that could have their SelectedItem property set to True without it deselecting all the other items in the same group. Of course that still leaves the possibility of setting a variable to one of the manager's list items and setting it from there, so I would still like to know how I could prevent that, if possible.
UPDATE: I didn't use the code above in the end, deciding instead to go with Cyborgx37's solution - which seems to work perfectly well for me despite the warnings about best practice. I also realised I would need to use the same class in another scenario where multiple items could be selected, so it was easy to add a Boolean property to the manager to enable that.

I have the following code:
Public Class MyColorsClass
'Constructors
Public Sub New()
'Empty Constructor
[code]....
However, if the empty constructor was called to instatiate this class then the colortype is not yet set. Therefore, if one accesses the 'IsColorCool' property it will always return 'False'. Now for the sake of this example, I must keep the empty constructor as part of the class.Now I could add some code in the 'IsPropertyCool' to check and see if a ColorType has been defined, and throw an exception if it has not been set, but I don't really want to do that.I also could always move the logic OUT of the property and into a method on the class called 'DefineIfColorIsCool' or something, and make the owness on the caller to make sure the method was called if they want to use the property 'IsColorCool'?

Obviously, I don't wish that the class Glider has the method "start_engines" neither the property "num_engines". Otherwise, other child classes may have. How can I supress these property and method in child class, not just ignoring (if I can)?

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.
