I have a structure called 'Scheme' and in my program I want (ideally) an ArrayList of 'Schemes' (so i can add, remove schemes etc.). However, within the 'Scheme' structure, I want to have an ArrayList of 'Item''Item' is another structure. Are there any solutions out there for iterating through these arrays quite easily?
How can I easily add multiple Items to a Scheme and mutliple Schemes to my Scheme array. Code is below. When I try to add Items to a Scheme, I get the 'Object not set to a reference of an object, try the 'New' keyword', but you cannot declare 'New' keywork within a structure.

What I am trying to do is have a class where the functions of the same name are both instance functions and shared functions.
Public Shared Function Get...(byval xx as xx)
and
Public Function Get...
The Public Function uses a Property xx created in the constructor, whereas the Shared Function has the parameters (byval xx as xx).
I read in the Book "Mastering Microsoft Visual Basic 2008" about "User-Defined data types".The example given is creating a Structure as follows.I wanted to check that so I wrote all the code given; I used a TextBox and a Button for this.(I didn't include the "CheckDate" here; that is in the book)
Structure CheckRecord
Dim CheckNumber As Integer
[code]....
The problem is this does work.What I get is "00000". and I found out that the "Checks(4)" Array does hold any value ie: on keeping the cursor over that, it shows "CheckAmount 0.0, CheckNumber 0 , CheckPaidTo Nothing ".
1) Is it possible to access the Excel mathematical functions without actually opening Excel?
I was thinking of through a DLL WinAPI call or maybe a delegate function or smaller program?
2) Does anyone know of a MS link or area that gives instruction on "how to" use every function of every Windows DLL at all?
Or for all those that Microsoft have chosen to document online at least.
I'm attempting to create a list of structures that contains a list of structures. I can't seem to figure out how to properly allocate the object for the inner list of structures. I expect the outer list of structures to have a couple thousand entries and the inner list of structures to be fairly small at 2 to 10. Both lists will grow over time but the number of elements within the inner list will be constant for an instance of the outer list. Meaning, if an instance of the outer list has 2000 entries each of those will have the same number of elements on the inner list, say 4 entries.
Here is a simplified code fragment. This fragment makes no attempt to create the instance of the inner list "StructBlist" since I can't figure out where to put it. Tried "New List(Of StructB)" in the declaration as well as "Alist(0).StructBlist = New List(Of StructB)" but neither works.

While converting types, I have found myself using both VB functions and BCL Convert.To* methods.
E.g.)
Cstr() vs. Convert.ToString()
CInt() vs. Convert.ToInt32()
CDbl() vs. Convert.ToInt64()
etc...
Are there any subtle differences that should be noted?
Is there a way to see exactly what the functions are doing. What i mean is there a way to see the class? I know what it does, i just want to know the code.
For example the function: Membership.FindUsersByName()
I'm redoing a program for my company and my boss wanted me to created the entire thing through functions...
For the task I wanted to know is it possible to have functions within functions?
Sort of like in C where we would have nested structures?
Its a FILE I/O, with robot commands, moves and verifications....
So I would find the line in an excel spreadsheet where it moves, the coordinate, put it into an array.
Take the actual results store them into a two dimensional array...etc, etc....
Another function would eventually compare the results with the moves, and within a tolerance.
What is the different between these 2 structures?

Public dwType As InputType
Public mi As MOUSEINPUT

Is it possible to declare a new list inside a structure.
I'm trying to get a list of structures that each contain a list of points,
but when i try to declare a new list inside the structure VB says "keyword not valid as an identifier"
I'm currently doing this project where i have to create a program that let's the administrator manage students (and their tests.) I have decided to use Random Access file in this project.because structures will need fixed lengths...i don't know how will i search through the students (a function of the program) when each student structure has a different length because of the number of tests they've done.* I have created a variable in the aStudent structure so that i can know the number of tests a student has done...but don't know how to use it.

I have created a structure as below. I want the structure to be an array...so I can use a call like picks(1).a or picks.a(1) = blah blah. I don't understand how to use an array of a structure..

Dim b As String
End Structure
I have been trying to read the cd toc in one go from the API, I can read it OK with a single byte array, but I can't find a way to fill the formatted arrays

'typedef struct _CDROM_TOC {
' UCHAR Length[2];

I am currently working on a project for myself which looks through employee's information to find their availability to work. I've tried making a structure which holds the employee's information but I can't think of a good way to create different instances of it and store information in it at runtime. I'd prefer to load the information in at startup and not have to declare each employee and information. I am very new to Visual Basic 2008 but I have a good grasp of arrays from C and C++.
View 3 RepliesI know that Structures are value types and classes are reference type, i know that since structures are stored in stack they are faster to use i also understands that structures can not use the Inheritance concept but still in most examples i see i always see that the authors use classes when building something like BBL library, if structures is light-weight compare to classes and i don't need it to be inherited should i use structure instead of class?is there a rule of when to use class and when to use structure ?
View 2 RepliesI have a Structure, and I am having trouble initialising it. Specifically when I try to populate the Vector3 variables, it tells me that they are Nothing, so I need to make them New when the array of this structure is declared.[code]Structures cannot declare a non-shared 'Sub New' with no parameters.I have no parameter to supply, and this will be an array so I'm not even sure how I would supply it.The second option to fix the error is to make the Sub New shared, but then I get other errors: Cannot refer to an instance member of a class from within a shared method or shared member initializer without an explicit instance of the class.Does anyone know how I can resolve this. My end goal is to have an array of this structure type with the Vector3s ready to use.
View 6 RepliesI have created a collection of structures. Each structure, of course, contains fields.
Lets say something like:
Public Structure clientStructure
Public ID As String
Public firstName As String
[Code]....
How can I access a field of a particular structure using for.... each?
That is, how can I retrieve out of the collection (lets say item 5's) firstName, using for...each?
Can a list class in vb.net contain Data Structures ?

I need to have an Array of UDTs(Structures). Elements have to be added (at end) and removed (from anywhere). The different values of the elements need to be changeable.
I know how to implement it as an oldstyle array, but wouldn't it be better to implement as a List ( of T)? and if yes is such a procedure possible?[code...]
It says that I can't have structures as optional arguments.That's really annoying for my program. Isn't there any way to circumvent this?
Sub fa(Optional ByVal colz As System.Drawing.Color = Color.AliceBlue)

This example cannot compile
I have an interface IDigitalState defined as
Public Interface IDigitalState
ReadOnly Property Code As Integer
ReadOnly Property Name As String
End Interface
[Code]....
What I wanted to do was declare a variable as a nullable type of IDigitalState. I understand why I cant do this because the interface may be implemented by a class which is not allowed to be nullable. Is there a way to define the interface so that it can only be implemented by a structure.

Results In an Unhandled exception. Bad Record Length. and then If I close it and reopen it I get an 'Unable to read beyond end of stream' error. So what is the best way to save an array of structures? Binary Reader/Writer? and why does this way not work (Even if its derived from VB6)
The following is a mini version of a data structure that I need to be able to write & save to disk. Can someone give me a sample of code needed to do this

I would be more that happy for someone to tell me I am missing something very simple here I am writing code that - amongst other things - talks to code on other servers using the tcpclient function in .net
What I want to do is - in essense very simply. I want to define a structure which includes an array load it with data and sent it to the other end of the socket.
