Public Function MethodOne(ByVal s As String) As String[code]...
I want to retain the value of i, but once it goes back into MethodOne, it loses its value. I tried making it static i As integer = 0, but this did not work.
I have a string variable called str assigned with "John". I changed it to "Dave" when the first button is clicked. When the second is clicked, I displayed the value to a label. I wanna see Dave but I just see John. Why is that?

Datatable contain some values like 0.0,10000.00,54678.94. I am getting that values using for loop and store it in a variable in double datatype. I want to add these nos and store it in a variable. Each time variable value changed.
for loop
Dim ds5 As dataset1.pro_dtsumDataTable = TA5.GetData(TextBox1.Text, users)
If (ds5.Rows.Count > 0) Then
Dim y As Double
y = Double.Parse(ds5(0)("sum(fld_primary)").ToString())
Dim y1 As Double
y1 = 0 + y
End If
Next
First time y1=0.0
Next time the value of y1 is not added to previous value.
I want the result y1=64679.34

View 2 Repliesusing visual studio 2010. I have a vb.net application that needs to be updated periodically. The software stores client lists in a database for the user, but when the user reinstalls the program after I send them an updated publish, the client list database is replaced with a fresh empty database.
Is there a way that the user can reinstall the software without losing their current database?
I don't know if I need to somehow make separate publishes. One for an initial install to set up the database, and then one for updates that leaves the client database untouched? I don't know how to go about it.
What the Win32 API is? I have looked around but no where really outlines what it is. Is it basically a set of procedures, outlined by Microsoft for programmers in order to get services from the operating system? In essence is it the equivalent to making system calls abd and library calls in UNIX? And yes I now Windows makes library calls too.

View 2 RepliesI stumbled upon something i don't quite see the logic of. Let's ork with following piece of code:
For Each ds As DerivedScale In List
If ds.ScaleID = scaleId Then
ds.ScaleID = ds.ScaleID + scaleStep
[Code].....
This piece is written for 2 records to change place and change the sequence number (scaleid). The arrow indicates where the issue occurs. The item "ds" is replaced by the object 1 indexnumber higher/lower. This does however not effect that object in the List. So when i check, item ds isn't set.
However, when i look at ds.ScaleId = ds.ScaleID + scaleStep, this is reflected in the List.
So what I am wondering is: is "ds" acting like a local variable here, and can i only make changes to it's properties?
I'm writing a subneting calculator in VB.NET.I'm using the IDE SharpDevelop.Well my problem is I'm using a function to do some calculations and then to figure out the class of the IP addresses.Well I pass a variable from the subroutine, that is accessed when a button is clicked, to the function then the variable is passed back to the subroutine and then the variable is passed again to another function but when it reaches this second function it doesn't retain the value it was given in the first function.I'm not sure if I'm just passing the variable wrong or if this is how it works.I know I can make this work probably by using global variables but I'm not sure if this is proper. So my ultimate question is what is the difference between local and global variables besides just scope and should I try and use one more than the other.
View 4 RepliesI sort of understand why this is happening, but not entirely. I have a base class with a Shared (Static) variable, declared like so:
Public Shared myVar As New MyObject(arg1, arg2)
In a method of a derived class, I set a local variable like so:
Dim myLocalVar As MyObject = myVar
Now when I do something like myLocalVar.Property1 += value, the value in Property1 persists to the next call of that method! I suppose I get why it would be happening; myVar is being set by reference instead of by value, but I've never encountered anything like this before. Is there any way (other than my workaround which is to just create a new object using the property values of myVar) to create myLocalVar by value?
Does anyone know why a local variable cannot be declared WithEvents?T
View 3 RepliesI have a form in VB.NET that is used as a dialog in a mainform. Its instances are always locally defined, there's no field for it. When the user clicks the OK button in the dialog, it will fire an event with exactly one argument, an instance of one of my classes. Since it is always a local variable, how can I add an event handler for that event?
Code for the event, a field in MyDialog:
public Event ObjectCreated(ByRef newMyObject as MyObject)
Code for the main form to call dialog : (never mind the syntax)
Dim dialog As New MyDialog()
dialog.ShowDialog(Me)
AddHandler ObjectCreated, (what do I put here?) //Or how do I add a handler?
is this safe (I know it works, but is it safe)? Is it returning a reference to a local variable, wich falls out of scope as soon as the function returns?

say i have an auto property Public Property P As Integer and everytime I want to read this variable P in a function, i will declare a local variable as such: dim _p = P then read _p instead of P. I'm wondering does it make sense at all? will it actually make things slower (which of course isn't my intention).Btw if we change the question to Public Property P As Object is there any change in the answer?

I have 2 question, hope somebody give me an explanation: 1. Should a local variable call dispose method and set to nothing? 2. If some method have an arguments which it is a ByVal argument, it means a method create a new object? But If it is a ByRef argument, it means a method don't create a new object?

Notice the catch (Type) instead of catch (Type myVariable). Is this possible with VB.NET, or do you always have to declare a variable when you catch exception types, like so:

I have a button inside a one of my forms which contain a lot of coding and normally a lot of variables declaration.
Is there is a option/add-on that I can use/set that enable me to display all the variable used inside the sub or function I am currently working in?
All I can find is add-on to display the Properties/Methods and only Public variables inside the form or inside the class. but I need to list the local variables also.
Today I discovered that something I had assumed about VB.NET for many years was not true (worrying!). I assumed that a variable declared within a loop had a lifetime of the iteration it was declared in, but in fact it seems it has a lifetime of the whole procedure.[code]I had assumed an output of False, True, False, True but instead it is actually False, True, True, True..In C# the equivalent code would not compile as you would get a compile time error of Error "Use of unassigned local variable 'var1'".I realise there are many ways to fix this and that best practice would be to declare the variable outside of the loop and reset it at the beginning of every loop through.I find this behaviour so counter-intuitive to me that I would like at least a compile time warning in VB.NET when/if I do this. (I could also then set this on any projects I already have and get warning that would allow me to check that my assumptions aren't causing errors).Does anyone know how/if I can get this to generate a compile time warning in VB.NET? Am I the only one that finds this counter-intuitive?
View 1 RepliesWhat's best practice (in VB.Net):
Function GetSomething() as String
GetSomething = "Here's your string"
End Function
or
Function GetSomething() as String
Dim returnString as String = "Here's your string"
Return returnString
End Function
Obviously, neither of these implementations make any sense, but they're just meant to illustrate my point. Is there anything to be gained by using GetSomething itself to store the return value instead of declaring returnString locally and then returning that (does it avoid having an extra string allocated/instantiated - and if so, are there any performance/memory benefits)?
