Initializing A Two-dimensional Array

Compiling the program in Visual Basic Express produces no errors. However, if the program is imported into the Excel Developer environment; I get the following error: Expected: end of statement with the equal sign highlighted. A side comment: About eight years ago, I wrote a Visual Basic simulation program to study financial trends. I found that version of Visual Basic user frendly! I find the 2010 version very difficult for doing simular projects.
Declaring & Initializing String Array?
Mar 10, 2011I'm trying to return an array of strings from a function, and got surprised by an error.
I would have expected this to work, but it produces an error:
Public Function TestError() As String()
Return {"foo", "bar"}
End Function
[Code]....
I guess I'm unclear on the meaning of the {}'s - is there a way to implicitly return a string array without explicitly creating & initializing it?
Initializing Performance Counters In Array

Initializing WPF Application?
Feb 17, 2010I am writing a WPF application in VB 2008, and need to establish a connection to another system to get pertinent information and if not exit gracefully without displaying the form. I thought I would be able to do this in the Application classwithin Application_Startup and set some custom properties. However, it doesn't appear I can expose these properties outside the Application class without re-instantiation it, which is bad thing. Even variables set up as Friend don't appear to work either.

Initializing A SAFEARRAY Ref In C# (port From VB?)?
Nov 21, 2011I am working with a third-party COM component (i.e. do not have its code). The method in question has the following outline:
HRESULT GetTableInfo(
[in] BSTR bstrTableName,
[in,out] SAFEARRAY(BSTR) bstrColumnTitles,
[in,out] SAFEARRAY(long) lColumnPos );
I have tried to pass a ref to a fixed-size array ((Array)string[6]) and to a List.ToArray(), but it keeps crashing on me. E.g.
Array arr1 = (Array) new string[500];
Array arr2 = (Array) new int[500];
table.GetTableInfo(filename, ref arr1, ref arr2);
To be more specific: I already tried any value for the size (the correct one should be 44). Tried the same for the capacity of a List<>, but that didn't help either. I also tried different types, but it does not accept any other than int.
I don't know why it keeps crashing on me with a general error of that COM component (basically indicating that something is wrong, yet not saying what exactly), since I can confirm that the following VB code works:
Dim TitleList() As String
Dim PositionList() As Long
Call objTable.GetTableInfo(txTableFile.Text, TitleList, PositionList)

PictureBox Doesn't Draw When Initializing?
Jun 20, 2012Wasn't exactly sure how to word the title of the topic the best without making it a really long title, so I just stayed with a brief general topic to lure you guys into it .Anyways, I am using VB.NET and I have a PictureBox inside a panel that is not initially visible. Whenever a user clicks a button, I set the panel to visible, and I use Direct3D9 to render to the PictureBox but it does not work right when I set the panel to visible. I added a PictureBox_Paint function to handle the Paint event, but nothing. An interesting thing is if I sleep for about 1 or 2 seconds after I set the panel to visible and before I draw the picture with DirectX, it will draw it on. So it must be something when it is first setting it to visible that is affecting it. I do not have an actual image inside the picturebox, I am just using it to draw with DirectX.I'm not exactly sure what events are called right when you set the picturebox to visible.

Initializing Class Collection Of Inherited Types
Oct 4, 2010Is there a way to have a class collection of inherited types be initialized? For example, here is my code:
Public Class CamryCar
Property Name As String = "Camry"
Property Color As String
End Class
Public Class RedCamry

I prefer this one as I don't have an extra property to deal with. But I can find a way to initialize that that list with objects of RedCamry and BlueCamry. Is it impossible or is there another way to do this?
Initializing Object Variables - Difference Between Methods
Jan 20, 2009In VB.Net is there any difference between the following three ways of initializing object variables
Method 1
Dim commandObject As SqlCommand
commandObject = New SqlCommand("MadeUpCommand")
Method 2
Dim commandObject As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("MadeUpCommand")
Method 3
Dim commandObject As New SqlCommand("MadeUpCommand")
Is one more efficient than the others, or are they effectively all the same?
.NET : Runtime Is Initializing A Variable To An Instance Of The Wrong Class?
Jul 26, 2010I've got some code that looks like this:
If ediFileGroupAbbr = "NIPDSINV" OrElse ediFileGroupAbbr = "WWPDSINV" Then
Dim p As New PrivateBillingAdapter_ForN(ediFileGroupAbbr, businessLocationID, mode, EDIJobItemLogID, BusinessUnitID)
Return p.ProcessEDI(True, False)
ElseIf ediFileGroupAbbr = "FOPDSINV" Then
[code]...
to which I'm passing in a value of ediFileGroupAbbr = "FOPDSINV". But the code is executing as if it's dropping into the third condition (p is a PrivateBillingAdapter). So I've stepped into the code and, sure enough, it drops into the second condition. BUT, if I step into the execution of the constructor, the debugger jumps to an odd place in the code - sort of the middle of a method and not on any actual line of code.A couple clicks and it hops back out of the constructor, still in the second block of code. But if I mouse over the variable p to see it's type, boom, its a PrivateBillingAdapter (from the third block).Like I said, something is clearly wrong but I don't know what. I've tried rebuilding several times but with no new results.This is VS2003, framework 1.1 with VB.NET.

View 1 RepliesFlattening An Object Hierarchy Using A Shim Class - Initializing Derived Object Properties From The Base Object?
Jul 10, 2010I am somewhat new to object oriented programming and am attempting to flatten a Linq object hierarchy by using a shim class.how to initalize a derived class with property values from a base class?I have two objects, a base object with about 100 properties, and a derived object which inherits from the base object and adds a few additional properties beyond those of the base object. My simple constructor creates the derived object, but I am looking for a way to initialize the derived object properties with values from the base object.Right now I am using reflection to iterate over the properties individually and I suspect there may be a better way. The following example shows my shim class constructor for the derived class, and two properties:
newProperty1 - a new string property of the derived class
flattenedProperty2 - a new string property of the derived class, copied from a 2nd-level object of the base class
Code example:
Public Class derivedObj
Inherits baseObj
Private _newProperty1 As String[code].......
Is this the correct constructor approach to flatten the object hierarchy using a shim class? My second question relates to initialization of properties in the derived class. The constructor above creates the derived object, but what is the best way to initialize the derived object properties with values from the base object? The following code uses reflection to iterate over the properties individually, but I suspect there may be a better way.
Code example:
' property names are in the string array fieldNames
'baseObjQuery is an ienumerable of baseObj
'derivedObjList is a list of derivedObj[code].....
Is there a simple way to initialize values for the properties in the derived object based upon the values of the common properties in the base object?
