Is There A Conditional Ternary Operator
Feb 23, 2009In Perl (and other languages) a conditional ternary operator can be expressed like this:my $foo = $bar = $buz ? $cat : $dog;Is there a similar operator in VB.NET?

Similar To The Ternary Operator In .net?
Mar 29, 2011I saw this in some vb.net source code:Dim sTest As String = "" & drTest("column")
I was told that if drTest("column") is nothing, then sTest will be assigned "", so it is in effect doing:
Dim sTest As String = If("",Nothing,drTest("column"))What is the downside of doing it the first way I showed?
What is the difference between using If and IIf?

Ternary Operator VB Vs C# Resolves To Integer
Nov 10, 2010Suppose we have a nullable value in vb.net: Dim i as Integer? We want to assign a value to it, basing on a condition, and using a ternary operator, because it's so neat and stuff: i = If(condition(), Nothing, 42) That is, if a condition is true, employ the null-ability, otherwise the value. At which point the shooting occurs. For no apparent reason VB compiler decides that the common base type for Nothing and Integer is Integer, at which point it silently translates the statement to: [Code]

View 2 RepliesWhy Does The Ternary Operator Accept A Nullable Boolean
Oct 6, 2011The following compiles in VB.NET (with Option Strict On) and outputs False:[code]Why does that work?The documentation clearly states that the three-argument version of If requires a Boolean as the first parameter:[code]So, why does this work? Is it a bug (or "hidden feature") in the compiler or is it a bug in the documentation and Boolean? is actually a valid type for the first argument of If(a, b, c)?In C#, b ? x : y does not compile if b is of type bool?.I've reported this issue to Microsoft Connect. Someone from MS has replied and confirmed that the documentation will be updated to include the Boolean? case.
View 4 RepliesAssign A Value To Nullable Integer Via A Ternary Operator / It Can't Become Null
Apr 19, 2012If you assign a value to a nullable integer via a ternary operator, it can't become null..While this question may seem like a duplicate of many, it is actually being asked for a specific reason.Take this code, for example: Dim n As Integer? = If(True, Nothing, 1) In that code, the ternary expression should be returning Nothing, but it's setting n to 0. If this were C#, I could say default(int?) and it would work perfectly. Now it looks like I am going to have to ditch the ternary and use a regular If block, but I really want to use the ternary. If Nothing were truly VB.NET's equivalent to C#'s default, how can you explain this behavior?

Re-write Conditional Logic That Involves Checking Three Nullable(Of T) Values In An Equality Operator Overload?
Jan 28, 2011So I'm writing the equality operator overload (Operator =())for a custom object, and the resulting mess of If conditionals is just an eyesore. But so far, it seems like the only sane way to check the values to as to match the specific behavior of this object.
The rules are:Num1 is required, period, and both the left and right operands and must be equal for True. Else, False.Num2 is optional, but if specified, must be present for both the left and right operands, and must be equal for True. Else, False.Num3 is optional, but can only be specified if Num2 is also present. Else, False.Num3, if specified, must be present for both the left and right operands, and must be equal for True. Else, False.
[Code]..
I also know that I could cache elements of the checks into booleans and then use those to reduce the amount of text. But that seems like a waste of cycles just for code readability. So I wanted to know if the SO community had better thoughts on reorganizing it, just in case I'm being too verbose with my checks.
Error: Option Strict On Disallows Operands Of Type Object For Operator '='. Use The 'Is' Operator To Test For Object Identity
Jan 27, 2010I am tightening up my coding with the Option Strict set to ON. It has now produced alot of errors. An example of this is:
If AllocatedDGV.Rows(i).Cells("RoomNumber").Value = RoomsAvailableDGV.Rows(j).Cells("RoomName").Value Then
It gives me the following error: Option Strict On disallows operands of type Object for operator '='. Use the 'Is' operator to test for object identity.
Option Strict On Disallows Operands Of Type Object For Operator Use The 'Is' Operator To Test For Object Identity
Apr 6, 2012I need to write an interface to get data to/from our data files.
We have a low level class that holds field values for each record read from the files.
This just holds two values, the value read from the file (DBValue) and the updated value that may need to be written back to the file (CurrentValue).
These values may be any of the standard value types (integer, date etc) or a string.
Either value (DBValue or CurrentValue) may be null if not defined.
I have written the class to manage this data which works fine while option strict is NOT on.
But we have an office policy of having option strict on all the time.
When I put option strict on, my object value comparisons fail with the error: "Option Strict On disallows operands of type Object for operator '='. Use the 'Is' operator to test for object identity."
Question, how should I change the following code to handle option strict on ...
This is all running on Visual Studio 2010

.net Conditional Linq Query?
Sep 27, 2011In this query against a datatable i'm trying to do some conditional filtering.The check against Timeband(index N) should only be done when the Index exists. (the base code only had three item fields, i've converted them to a simple list)
Dim res As DataTable =

From dr As DataRow In dtTimedRow.AsEnumerable()
Select dr

The above code triggers an Exception if the count = 1. It executes the code next to imeBands.Count > 1 which it should not. What would be the correct solution for this code.In the mean time i've added a simple filter function.

Conditional Combo Boxes?
Apr 14, 2010I have two combo boxes: cboRepairCategory (plumbing, landscaping, etc) and cboVendors. I am using Stored Procedures in SQL to store the data from my database and then load them into the combo boxes.The cboRepairCategory will be loaded first. Once the user has selected what type of repair it is I want it to restrict the amount of vendors that can be selected, so instead of saying:CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.up_Fill_Vendor_Combo
AS
SELECT VendorID, CompanyName
FROM Vendors
[code].....
I would select only the vendors that have the RepairType of say Landscaping, so thecboVendor would load now only Vendors with Landscaping instead of all vendors.My question is this: Is this done in SQL in my Stored Procedure or is it done in VB in my functions for my combo boxes. I've never tried this before I am totally lost on it. I have fiddled with the code on both ends but to no avail.
Conditional Formatting Of Bound DGV?
Jun 20, 2009I have a DGV that is bound to an Access DB DataTable. I have added a column in the DB that is either a 0 or a 1. When the program loads, I want to change the backcolor and forecolor of each row based on the value of this column's cell. ie: a 1 makes the row red, a 0 makes the row green. this column would be hidden in the DGV.
Is this possible to do at runtime even though it is bound?
I'm not sure when I would actually do the color swap, formLoad?
Second question, as I iterate through each row of the DataGridView and need to change the value of this column, will this update my DB automatically, or do I need to call an update() after each row?

Using Images With Conditional Logic?
Apr 5, 2009I want to be able to call forth hundreds of different photos be selecting them from a listbox or something of that nature.
Normally, if I only had a few images, I would amke their visibility false and then use If statements to turn on their visibility once it is selected. However, putting hundreds of images on to a form and then changing their visibility, seems like a pain.
I was wondering if there is a way to call forth each photo within the resources folder when an item is clicked so I don't have to put each one directly on the form.
