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.
View 1 RepliesIn some DLL, I have an interface defined like this (shortened code):
Public Interface wsIInvoice
''' <summary>
''' Perform plugin specific actions for a given memberhip invoice that is processedin an incasso batch, and return success result.
[Code].....
The DLL implementing the interface has a reference to the one defining it. And the defining DLL is imported.
I'm doing exactly the same thing in another DLL, and there VS does not complain.
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:

Is it possible to automatically insert a Code Snippet when an interface is implemented? If so, how do you do it? I am looking for something similar to when you implement IDispoable in VB.[code]This will be used by web forms when transfering parameters from one page to the next using Server.Transfer
View 1 RepliesI'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.
View 3 RepliesIn our current project I am using a generic interface iService which is inherited by all other service interfaces. For instance IService is inherited by ILogService.
The ILogService interface is then implemented by LogService as below:
Public Interface IService(Of T)
Sub Save(ByVal T As IEntity)
Sub Remove(ByVal T As IEntity)
[Code]....
How can I update the method signature so T is displayed as Log?
this wont be easy to explain clearly but here goes..i have something that works fine in VB but not in C#.i have 2 classes, each class implements a different interface. each interface exposes an Initialize() function that should get called automatically when the plugin loads. since each class has an Initialize() function, i can watch both functions get called in the log. this works fine in VB.
when i do this same thing in C#, only the Initialize() in the first class gets called. anyone have a clue as to why this might be happening?
[Code]...
as you can see the code is identical in both languages. why does it work in VB and not in C#?
I have an interface that I've defined and am working through a bunch classes that will implement it. I'm noticing that in 95% of the implementations, I'm only changing a few lines of the code, so I'd like to know if it's possible to have my IDE generate a block of code inside of a method upon implementation, much the same as implementing IDisposable.not mark my posts as answered. It is extremely rude. You have no idea if you've answered my question.I WILL come back and mark the ones that are answers, as answers.
View 7 RepliesI have to begin saying that I'm working with Visual Basic. The problem is that I have a Entity Framework object and I want to indicate that this object implements a interface, for example:
Public Interface ICatalog
Property created_at() As Date
Property id() As Long
End Interface
Those properties are allready in the object. In c# I've done this just by declaring a partial class of the object and indicates that implements that interface, but in basic is not working, I supouse that is because of the language sintaxis used to declare that a property is implementing some property of the interface, for example:Public Property created_at() As Date Implements ICatalog.created_at
So say I define some interface, and that interface has members that need to be implemented under some idea, and I then implement this interface on a class that already has those members defined. How do I NOT receive errors about having to implement said members despite them already being implemented (because I didn't type the oh so ridiculous 'implements IMyInterface.foo').
For example say I have an interface that defines the event KeyPress, and then I have a custom Form that implements this interface of mine. It throws an error. VB is the 5th language I've worked in that uses interfaces... and up until now they've all treated interfaces relatively the same. This is the first time I've seen this not allowed. What perplexes me more, is it IS allowed in other .Net languages. Just not VB.

I have an interface class (IUser) which is the interface of class User. Now, i want to put these into an IList but am confused as to how i should declare the IList:Dim userList As IList(Of IUser) = New List(Of IUser) Dim userList As IList(Of User) = New List(Of User) Dim userList As IList(Of IUser) = New List(Of User) Dim userList As IList(Of User) = New List(Of IUser) when instantiating should you always use its implementation; and when using it as a type use its interface?
And when im creating a new user should i use: Dim myUser as IUser = new User?
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?
View 8 RepliesI'm migrating the CenterSnap.cls from its vb version to vb.NET and I'm confused about the following 2 errors after I import the vb6 project to VS 2008.

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.
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 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

I'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.
I'm trying to work out whether every Class in an Inheritance chain needs an explicit Dispose(disposing As Boolean) method or, if a given Class has neither managed nor unmanaged resources to dispose of, it can be skipped for that Class - even if a latterClass does require a Dispose method to dispose of mananaged or unmnaged resources?
Here's two examples:

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.

I've got a web user control (.ascx) which implements a couple of interfaces I wrote; namely IXMLBoundControl and ISectionOverridingControl.I've written a mini-CMS type application that dynamically loads controls onto the page based on information in a database. When I click a button on a web page (.aspx), I want to look at all the controls on that page, and determine if there is a control which implements the ISectionOverridingControl.
I've got my loop and I'm looping through the controls; that's fine. However I'm not sure what the best way is to determine whether or not the control implements the interface. What I'm doing at the moment (and works) is to try to cast each control into the ISectionOverridingControl and catching InvalidCastException: If I don't get the catch; I consider it's worked. If the exception is thrown then it doesn't implement the interface.
It's working, however, I consider this inefficient (relying on exceptions): surely there's a better way in VB.NET (I've seen an example in C# but it didn't convert to VB) to tell whether an instance of a class implements an interface or not?
