Studying Ruby and the Do block. Coming from much c# I didn't see much that reminded me of Do, but then VB came to mind with the With statement and one which I wish was in c# (maybe it is and I never saw it?). The two statements, Do and With, appear similar.Is the With statement in VB the same as a Do block in Ruby? [code]I understand what I will get just from looking at it. I know that I will get a new record in my database with the above information, but I do not know why. Why did book become TheBook.new?
how to use them then before, but am still a little confused with a few aspects. Here goes:
1.) Lets say you have a method that checks for a certain condition(s) and if it fails Throws an exception. Does it have to be in a try/catch block? Meaning can the "Throw" statement exist in a block with no try/catch statement?
2.) Now lets say we have a method that has a try catch block and in it there is a throw statement. When the throw statement is executed does it first try to find an appropriate catch block in the same method or does it immediately go back to the calling method without looking at the catch statements in the current method where the exception was thrown?
3.) I created a custom exception class that inherits from ApplicationException. Next I created a method which has a catch block that catches this type of exception and does some action. Is the System(i.e CLR) smart enough to throw an exception of this type, or does it only throw exceptions from SystemException?
4.) I know that some people are more liberal in their use of exceptions and others use it more sparingly when truly strange stuff happen like the DB going down. I am writing code where I am getting some info back from the database, converting it and then storing it. Sometimes there might be data that comes back from the database and other times the field is empty and the Null value comes back. Therefore in the instances where Null comes back from the database I should not convert the value to anything, since I will get an error. What should I do in this situation? Should I let the CLR throw the exception when it goes to convert the Null value or should I check for the Null value and if it exists not convert?
5.) In general when I throw exceptions, is it sensible to only throw exceptions of the type Application Exception or are there instances where the programmer throws exceptions of the type SystemException?
I'm relatively new with LINQ, but I'm going to be getting into it a lot more. Is the following a practical application of LINQ, or is there a better way to do something like this? [code] I was thinking if I could get the property name somehow as an object I could just do one LINQ statement,
It's just before while I found that expression (see my signature) is possible, so this request is not about what 'I am missing', but what I can think of. It would be nice to have named sections of code in visualbasic, which would replaced almost everything you can miss about GoTo. Imagine this:
Section Compression For Each item ... If Not item IsV...
I was convinced that If <expression> Then <statement [:statement]> Else [statements] in concrete form of If a = b Then SayHello() Else SayBye() End has sense. I read article on msdn on If-then-else, but I forgot why I was reading, so I concluded, that snippet above means this
If a = b Then HelloIsSaid : IsNotEnded Else ByeIsSaid : IsEnded But I have tested it now, and I see, that Else without statement is nothing more than decoration. It would be pretty good if it had function I described. Do you think its good request? Or do you know any circumstance where this Else has some function?
I want to put it (the select count statement) in this LINQ statement so I can get the sales count in my linq statement: Dim TheLeads = (From L In DB.Leads Where L.IsDeleted = False Select L).ToList() Is this possible to do in LINQ?
add an if statement and an exit statement to my do loop that exits when my future value (FV) is greater than 1000, then to change the exit statement to a continue statement so my loop will continue even though my fv is greater then 1000, point is to get this to run even though my if statement doesnt do anything. problem something wrong in my code and an exception error (xception of type 'System.OverflowException' occurred in mscorlib.dll)
so can someone show me where or why I have an error is, what am I overthinking now! I could use a hint, OMG i could use a tutor for that matter
I'm writing something that will examine a function and rewrite that function in another language so basically if inside my function F1, i have this line of code var x=a.b(1) how do i break up the function body into symbols or "tokens"?I've searched around and thought that stuff in System.Reflection.MethodInfo.GetMethodBody would do the trick however that class doesn't seem to be able to have the capabilities to do what i want..dit 2:basically what I'm trying to do is to write a program in c#/vb and when i hit F5 a serializer function will (use reflection and) take the entire program (all the classes in that program) and serialize it into a single javascript file. of course javascript doesn't have the .net library so basically the C#/VB program will limit its use of classes to the .js library (which is a library written in c#/vb emulating the framework of javascript objects)
I'm building a listview search feature in my app. (See the code below). It works really well, except if you search "T" then the code removes all items, if you search "t" then it removes every item except for those starting with "t". Is there any way to make a 'like' statement, or use some kind of wildcard to make the statement not case sensitive?
For Each itm As ListViewItem In ListView2.Items If itm.Text Like TextBox1.Text & "*" Or itm.SubItems.Item(1).Text Like TextBox1.Text & "*" Then Else
I have a line of code that is working in one statement but not the second statement. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, I am learning slowly but surely, and it is by no small margin because of the ave found here =) The error is occuring in the intResult = intSelection x intCount line of the SECOND Do While Loop.
The blue squiggle line is under "intCount" just FYI Dim intSelection As Integer Dim intCount As Integer = 0
I am looking for a way to block registry changes unless I choose to allow them to be made. So basically if an application tries to make a change my program would display a dialog with information of the change and I can either click Allow Change or Disallow Change.
Only thing is I am not sure how I go about stopping a registry change before it happens.
I have this block of php that i want to convert to c# or vbnet. I am stuck on the array methods since there is no direct equal to the is array and other bits like array merge. I know that arrays behave differently in php than in c# but thats about it. I am looking online but have not found anything yet.
private static function processArgs( $arguments ) { $args = array(); foreach ( $arguments as $arg ) {
I tried utilizing a collections Enumerator inside of a USING block to take care of the Enumerator.dispose call for me, however, I'm getting NullReferenceExceptions when trying to access the Enumerator.Current property after doing a MoveNext.
Currently, I am enclosing object initialization and usage in a Try/Catch block and then tear it down (dispose, close, set to nothing) in the Finally block. The problem is, a C# 'using' block is so easy to use and would clean things up in my code.
Is there a VB.NET equivalent? Or is my Finally block tear-down solution the only way?
i have a simple question. in vb6 you can block the form using modal. but in vb.net i dont find any thing like this. so is there a way to block a form when other is opened. now i do this:
Dim frmDisc As New frmDiscount frmDisc.GET_SENDER(Me) frmDisc.Show(Me)
and in form Discount i do this:
Public Sub GET_SENDER(ByRef frm As Form) frmSender = frm End Sub
I have a form in vb.net that has a ShockwaveFlash object in it, and I get an IE popup requesting to download a file. I changed variables in it and it blocked some of them.
