Inheritance And Variety Of Data Structures Including Queues, Lists, Arrays, Or Stacks In A Windows Forms Application
Jun 27, 2012I'd like to give a homework assignment to a person learning VB.NET. I'd like it to use basic inheritance and a variety of data structures including queues, lists, arrays, or stacks in a windows forms application. I was thinking of a pizza-ordering application. This would allow them to utilize some basic inheritance and practice using .NET UI elements.

Jan 21, 2010I 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 RepliesData Structures For Stackable Attributes In An RPG
Aug 7, 2010I'm wrangling with issues regarding how character equipment and attributes are stored within my game.My characters and equippable items have 22 different total attributes (HP, MP, ATP, DFP). A character has their base-statistics and can equip up to four items at one time.[code]Final character ATP in this case would be 88.I'm looking for a way to implement this in my code. Well, I already have this implemented but it isn't elegant. Right now, I have ClassA that stores these attributes in an array. Then, I have ClassB that takes five ClassA and will add up the values and return the final attribute.However, I need to emphasize that this isn't an elegant solution. There has to be some better way to access and manipulate these attributes, including data structures that I haven't thought of using.I should note that there are some restrictions on these attributes that I need to be put in place.E.g.,these are the baselines.For instance, the character's own HP and MP cannot be more than the baseline and cannot be less than 0, whereas the ATP and MST can be. I also currently cannot enforce these constraints without hacking what I currently have :(
View 1 Replies(2005) Arrays Of Structures Within Structures?
Jan 20, 2009I 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.

Read Binary Data In An Array Of Objects Or Structures?
Dec 27, 2011I need to create a collection of millions of objects, each object has 3 double and one integer fields.If I remember (after more than 20 years without using C) in C you would allocate enough memory using a struct and an array, and read all the file content in one shot.In VB I created a class with the 4 members, and this constructor:
Sub New(BR As IO.BinaryReader)
X = BR.ReadDouble

FileStream Delineator - Delineating Data Structures Chained In A Single File
Jul 31, 2009I'm working on something whereby I write and read alot of data to disk directly as bytes. But I can't figure out a foolproof way of delineating data structures chained in a single file. A null byte obviously wouldn't cut it, because that could occur within the data structures themselves. Theoretically, any pattern of bytes can potentially occur within a data structure. Does anyone have any ideas for a byte pattern that I could use as a flag for my streamreader? Anything reasonably short, since it's going to be pretty complex, streaming through each file twice, once byte by byte to find the flags and again to split the stream.

VS 2008 Bound - Source Data Of Drop Down Lists Be Separate Queries / Datatables?
Jun 2, 2009I've got a couple of drop down lists for languages. I bind them to a language list that comes from a query. Then the fields are also bound to the row in the DB they relate to. I have several panels with the language drop down - each "tied" to a different table in my DB. When I call up different records on the same panel the drop downs immediately "set to the position" of that rows language in the list. But when I call up another panel - tied to another database table - I see that language in the drop down.

Structures And Arrays Of Structures?
Jun 2, 2010I 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 ".

Create A List Of Structures Within A List Of Structures?
Jul 20, 2009I'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.

Difference Between Classes And Structures
Oct 23, 2010I 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 ?

Initialising An Array Of Structures
Nov 7, 2009I 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.
