Ok, this looks junky to me and I tried a lot of approaches; Generics won't allow me to cast the types on the fly and use MemberwiseClone() because it is 'Protected'.
Does anyone know a "short form" of doing this? I tried CType by Object.GetType on the fly; but the IDE cannot resolve the MemberwiseClone().
Private lastObj as Object = Nothing
Public Function IsObjectedDifferent(CurrentObject as Object) as Boolean
If CurrentObject Is Nothing Then Return False
[Code]....
I am trying to make a generalized function to handle if the Object is Changed; or If the values are different.
This seems like way too much code for such a simple task to me, and I have a lot of classes to compare; is there away to get the class defination dynamically so that the CType function will handle it?
I've spent quite a bit of time reading up on generics, covariance, etc., and I am failing to understand why I get the aforementioned compiler error in this type of codeLet's say I have a base "Bill" class made up of a collection of Lines..
Public Class Bill(Of L As Line) Private _lines As List(Of L) Public Property Lines() As List(Of L)
Suppose I have an interface called IParseable(Of TParsed, TUnparsed) which requires two functions:[code]Is there a way that I can restrict TParsed and TUnparsed to be numeric types (for which operations like "*" and "+" are already defined)?The problem is that, when I try to implement my interface and define one of the functions, e.g.:[code]VS throws an error saying the "*" is not defined for TUnparsed. I understand that, since TUnparsed could be anything, but is there a way to restrict my generic such that, say, TUnparsed could only be Double, Integer, Long, etc? To require Control to be a TextBox (or maybe I don't understand that very well either). But, anyway, any idea or am I way off track? Just trying to get a hang of these interface thingies and generic types.
What does the compiler use to determine the type of item?For example let say I have this class, which is inheriting a non generic collection,
Public Class BaseDataObjectGenericCollection(Of T) Inherits BaseDataObjectCollection End Class
A for each loop still infers the Item type as Object. How would I have to modify the above class to make the type inference work?
Edit: Per Beatles1692's answer, Implementing IEnumerator(Of T) kinda works. The base class already has a GetEnumerator function, inherited from CollectionBase, so I my implementation looked like this,
Public Function GetEnumerator1() As System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerator(Of T) Implements System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable(Of T).GetEnumerator Return MyBase.Cast(Of T)().GetEnumerator End Function
However, the for loop still infers the type as object. But, if I change the interface implementation to this,
Public Shadows Function GetEnumerator() As System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerator(Of T) Implements System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable(Of T).GetEnumerator Return MyBase.Cast(Of T)().GetEnumerator End Function
That works, the for loop gets the type inference correct. So I guess the question is now, does For Each just look for a function called GetEnumerator ?
I have a class called results which amongst other things has 3 internal Lists which contain 0 to n result objects each. One list has results whose answer property is integer,the next is Decimal and the last text. I many common properties like ID and I have a property on the Results class called Result which looks like this: -
Public ReadOnly Property Result(Index) As Object Get Select Case ResultTypeID
The codes below are exactly the same, except that one is C# and the other one is VB.Net.C# compiles just fine, but VB.Net throws the warning:
Interface 'System.IObserver(Of Foo)' is ambiguous with another implemented interface 'System.IObserver(Of Bar)' due to the 'In' and 'Out' parameters in 'Interface IObserver(Of In T)'
Why does VB.Net show the warning and not C#? And most important, how can I resolve this problem?
Obs: I'm using .Net Framework 4 with Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate.
I am implementing IMAPI2 into my vb.net project but ran into a wall. I am getting the message Unable to cast object of type 'IMAPI2FS.FsiStreamClass' to type 'IMAPI2.IStream' when trying to start the burn. I googled around and found this is something that microsoft hasn't fixed.. which basically renders IMAPI2 useless in vb.net.
I found a post on codeproject.com by eric hadden who combined the IMAPI2.dll and IMAPI2fs.dll into an c# interop file. I also see the IBURN interop in microsoft SDK samples. I'd like to use either, but it's in c# and I'm using vb express. Does anyone know a way to get the interop into visual basic or a way around "Unable to cast object of type 'IMAPI2FS.FsiStreamClass' to type 'IMAPI2.IStream'"?
I'm having a problem with converting from one source type to a destination type. I have a form with 2 buttons (button 2 uses the OpenFileDialog to have the user open an excel file set to NewFile),(button 1 takes the contents from specific cells in NewFile and arranges them how I need into oXLApp1).
The error I get is "Unable to cast object of type 'System.IO.FileStream' to type 'Excel.Application'." in line 14 of the code below.
Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
I'm new to VB 2005, the code below is actualy coded from VB 6 and just converted it to VB 2005. I'm having trouble with line that's on bold letters.In VB 6 this works just ok. By the way the error message is "Unable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'ADODB.Connection'." [code]
Could anyone assist me in solving my problem ? My code was written in VB (VS 2003.)I got this error: System.InvalidCastException: Cast from type 'DBNull' to type 'Integer' is not valid. in my code.Here is the code line where I am getting the error: LeadCampusID = CInt(.Item("mkCampusID"))I fixed the error by making the changes in the code as :
If Not IsDBNull(.Item("mkCampusID")) Then LeadCampusID = CInt(.Item("mkCampusID")) Else

I saw this thread and I had simple answer in mind. To use custom enumerator class. So I was trying to make one for that guy, which would have one more property to check whether its has reached end or not. It would also provide current position.I'm getting an error "Unable to cast object of type 'SZArrayEnumerator' to type 'WindowsApplication1.myEnumerator'." at the line 6 [see below].However, return type of values.getEnumerator says its IEnumerator.

Columns 0 & 1 are filled from a DataAdapter from Access Database and three are added. I had this working, but I changed it to check for the column "Feed" so I could add several Locations. At first this worked,but I did someething in perfecting it and it now fails after filling the first row of the datagridview (dgvFdMed).I ran a check and the table LotsTab has 8 rows filled. Column 1 & 2 are strings and the database appears they are fine. The added columns have just been created with no value. My plan is to enter the values and then use the data from the grid.
Private Sub sfillGrid(ByVal Loc As String) Dim i As Integer Dim column As DataGridViewColumn
I have 2 Child forms inside a parent. For example, FrmChild1 contains a "Friend Sub" I wish to call.I would like one of the child forms to call that sub from another child form (we will call it FrmChild2. The following code works, but when it's done going through the "For Each", I get a "Invalid Cast"
' THIS CODE IS IN FrmChild1 For Each mFrmChild2 As FrmChild2 In FrmParent.MdiChildren mFrmChild2.GuestRefresh(False) Next
Error after calls are made:"Unable to cast object of type FrmChild1 to type FrmChild2.
I have a series of API calls that are returning J# data types. I have been able to convert most of the data types (Integer, Boolean, Double, Float, etc) just fine.What I need to do now is convert a java.Util.Collection to a VB .NET collection (ArrayList)
Here is my attempt:

I have a generic Class I'm using to hold information loaded from a database.I have a method which takes a DataRow as an argument, uses the object's known column name and extracts the data from the DataRow, such that:Dim loadData As T = CType(myDataRow("myColumnName"), T))works as my default assignment in most cases.Unfortunately, due to some horrifying design constraints, some of my columns may be null, and may also be taken from enumerations.This means that when <T> is Nullable(Of SomeEnumeration) the above code does not work because I can't cast 0 directly to SomeEnumeration.Zero.Is there some way to check whether <T> is Nullable(Of [Enum])? Or some way to write a method which allows Integers to be cast to Nullable(Of [Enum])?I feel like I'm forgetting something that would allow me to write one of the other of these, but my weak google-fu is turning up nothing.
EDIT: Okay, thanks to dasblinkenlight's answer below, I can detect when this circumstance is occurring, but what I need to do now is to take a type <T> which I know is Nullable(Of SomeClass), get a type reference to SomeClass and then create a new object of type Nullable(Of SomeClass) and assign that to LoadData.My problem was that I had a lot of difficulty in finding any function which would accept baseType as an actual Type.Parse accepted baseType as a parameter, I knew baseType was an [Enum] type because of dasblinkenlight's code, so I was, in this instance, able to code a solution. It's a solution which is very specific to my problem (i.e., T is Nullable(of SomeEnumeration)), but it's a solution nonetheless.
I have given reference to Microsoft HTML in COM (am using VB 2008)
"Unable to cast object of type 'System.Windows.Forms.HtmlElement' to type 'mshtml.IHTMLElement'."
I want to retrieve all the properties like the class name, html id of every object in the web browser. I am getting the above exception when i try to direct cast it.[code]...
The idea is to expand on the existing, old, and lacking Inputbox, to allow for:1. A greater variety of types (Integers, doubles, List(Of String), etc.2. Data validation.For example, if the user wants the user to quickly enter an Integer, I want a custom Inputbox form to show up with a TextBox, which only allows Integer input. If he wants the user to choose from a List(Of String), I show a form with a Combobox instead, from which the user can then choose.
I have been trying to use vb2008 to automatically update CustomDocumentProperties fields that I have set up within a pro-forma document. I can load the Word application and word document without problems.I want to update the CustomDocumentProperties fields with data read from a dB. To do this I am assuming that I need to iterate through the CustomDocumentProperties fields within the word document and when one is "found" that matches the data I wish to merge then assign the dB value to the field.The problem is that I am getting an exception error when I try to reference the document customdocumentproperties
"Error : Unable to cast the COM object of type 'System._ComObject' to interface type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.CustomProperties'. ...... "
my code looks like;
Dim WordApp As Word._Application Dim odoc As Word._Document Dim BContinue As Boolean = True
i want to know how to type cast to user defined type in vb.net.I have a mark object which contains student id , subject name,subject id and mark. I have to read the subject id from a combo box and read corresponding mark value from it to a text box.
I'm working on an application that uses a custom configuration file and reads the contents into a public shared readonly variable named "settings":
Public NotInheritable Class Globals
[CODE]...
This part seems to work just fine. The problem I can't seem to solve is when I try to access the "Settings" from a class that provides connection info.
Here is the code that creates an instance of the "Settings" to get at the "ProviderType":
Private Shared _instance As StoreProvider
[CODE]...
The application throws an "unable to cast object of type 'TheBMTStoreSection' to type 'BMTStore.TheBMTStoreSection'.
The web.config contains the following section name and section:
I have a class B that inherit from a class A should I always be able to cast the class A to the classB or are there some situation where this is not possible.
