.net - Overriding DataGridViewCell.GetClipboardContent?
Sep 5, 2011Some of my DataGridViewCells return the wrong value in their GetClipboardContent method. They are cells in a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn cells, so they use the displayed property, not the value property of the cell. I want it to return the value itself.An initial attempt was simply using
Protected Overrides Function GetClipboardContent(ByVal rowIndex As Integer, ByVal firstCell As Boolean, ByVal lastCell As Boolean, ByVal inFirstRow As Boolean, ByVal inLastRow As Boolean, ByVal format As String) As Object Return Value End Function in my DataGridViewComboBoxCell descendant but then I noted that this method is called more than one time per cell value, once for every data format DataGridView supports by standard, which are format="HTML", "Text", "UnicodeText" and "Csv". For csv, the base implementation appends a comma if it's not the last cell, for html it adds the correct tags depending on if it's the first/last row/cell in the table/table row, etc. I consider this format-specific, not cell-value specific.
So how could I replace the value that ends up in the clipboard without re-implementing all those format-specific aspects? That would result in quite some code for functionality that already exists in the base class, wouldn't it?

Class - Overriding A Sub Procedure?
Sep 17, 2010I have a main class that has a Sub procedure with no implementation. Any derived class should override and implement this procedure, so I used MustOverride in the base class.
Now, any time this procedure is called, I need to set a specific Boolean variable to True at the beginning of the procedure and set it to False at the end.
Is there a way to avoid writing these two lines of code in procedure implementation of every single derived class? Can I set this value to True in the base class, then run procedure in the derived class and then set the value back in the base class?

If so, could anyone provide some guidance as to how this would typically be done and if there are any special considerations I need to make to ensure that my derived button class is functionally equivalent to the original (excluding the html)?

Intercepting / Overriding Name Property On Custom Control?
Jun 1, 2012I have a custom version of a label control (built using a user control). While working in the designer, I want to intercept the setting of the Name property (in the properties panel) and use it to generate the Text property. That is, if I enter "lblFirstName" into the Name property of the properties panel I want to immediately see that the Text property is set to "First Name". Parsing the Name property is not the issue; I can do that.
I have tried to overload/shadow the Name property (since "Overrides" is not allowed) to essentially add this "aspect" to our custom label control but it doesn't seem to hit the Shadowed method at design time. It does hit the Shadowed method at run time if manipulated via code. The point is to avoid double the work as the label text and the label name are essentially the same. The only difference is one is formatted to be human friendly and the other machine friendly.

System.ComponentModel.ParenthesizePropertyName(), System.ComponentModel.DesignerSerializationVisibility(System.ComponentModel.DesignerSerializationVisibility.Visible)>

[Code] .....
This may be a matter of picking the right attributes. Conversely, if it's an easier alternative, we could allow setting the Text property to set the Name property. I doubt this would be easier since it should also reflect the new name in the Designer.vb code, not just in the label's Name property itself.
Overriding Default Property Values In .Net, WinForms?
Jan 9, 2010I create a class "Planet" that can be inherited. One of the purposes of inheriting is to create a template with different default property values. Eg:
Public Sub New
MyBase.New
MyBase.ForeColor = Red
[code]....
Now, to stop the defaults serializing in the InitializeComponent method, there are 2 ways:If I've implemented the properties using the 'DefaultValue' attribute, and made them overridable, the attribute can be overriden with the new value.The problem with this is, there's no way to just make just the attributes overridable, as opposed to the whole property.I could implement every property with protected Reset'PropertyName' and ShouldSerialize'PropertyName' methods. However, this is a bit of a pain in the arse.Is it, generally, an important consideration to ensure that someone who overrides your base class has the ability to change the default values of a property?

.net - Overriding GetHashCode In VB Without Checked/unchecked Keyword Support?
Jan 11, 2011So I'm trying to figure out how to correctly override GetHashCode() in VB for a large number of custom objects. A bit of searching leads me to this wonderful answer.Except there's one problem: VB lacks both the checked and unchecked keyword in .NET 4.0. As far as I can tell, anyways. So using Jon Skeet's implementation, I tried creating such an override on a rather simple class that has three main members: Name As String, Value As Int32, and [Type] As System.Type. Thus I come up with:
Public Overrides Function GetHashCode() As Int32
Dim hash As Int32 = 17
[code]....
Problem: Int32 is too small for even a simple object such as this. The particular instance I tested has "Name" as a simple 5-character string, and that hash alone was close enough to Int32's upper limit, that when it tried to calc the second field of the hash (Value), it overflowed. Because I can't find a VB equivalent for granular checked/unchecked support, I can't work around this.
I also do not want to remove Integer overflow checks across the entire project. This thing is maybe....40% complete (I made that up, TBH), and I have a lot more code to write, so I need these overflow checks in place for quite some time.
What would be the "safe" version of Jon's GetHashCode version for VB and Int32? Or, does .NET 4.0 have checked/unchecked in it somewhere that I'm not finding very easily on MSDN?
EDIT:Per the linked SO question, one of the unloved answers at the very bottom provided a quasi-solution. I say quasi because it feels like it's....cheating. Beggars can't be choosers, though, right?
Translated from from C# into a more readable VB and aligned to the object described above (Name, Value, Type), we get:
Public Overrides Function GetHashCode() As Int32
Return New With { _
Key .A = _Name, _
[code]....
This triggers the compiler apparently to "cheat" by generating an anonymous type, which it then compiles outside of the project namespace, presumably with integer overflow checks disabled, and allows the math to take place and simply wrap around when it overflows. It also seems to involve box opcodes, which I know to be performance hits. No unboxing, though.
But this raises an interesting question. Countless times, I've seen it stated here and elsewhere that both VB and C# generate the same IL code. This is clearly not the case 100% of the time...Like the use of C#'s unchecked keyword simply causes a different opcode to get emitted. So why do I continue to see the assumption that both produce the exact same IL keep getting repeated? </rhetorical-question>
Anyways, I'd rather find a solution that can be implemented within each object module. Having to create Anonymous Types for every single one of my objects is going to look messy from an ILDASM perspective. I'm not kidding when I say I have a lot of classes implemented in my project.My final implementation, which fits the constraints of GetHashCode, while still being fast and unique enough for VB is below, derived from the "Rotating Hash" example on this page:
'// The only sane way to do hashing in VB.NET because it lacks the
'// checked/unchecked keywords that C# has.
Public Const HASH_PRIME1 As Int32 = 4
[code]....
I also think the "Shift-Add-XOR" hash may also apply, but I haven't tested it.

Overriding System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine To Log To A File?
May 15, 2009This may be more of an OOP concept question, but here's what I'd like to do.I have an application that outputs debug information using System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine so it can be viewed with DebugView.I'd like to override/extend (not sure of the proper terminology) this method to log the text to a file instead, or maybe in addition to the Trace output.

View 2 RepliesOverriding CompareTo When There Are Multiple Ways To Compare Two Objects Of The Same Type?
Jan 12, 2011What's a sound approach to override the CompareTo() method in a custom class with multiple approaches to comparing the data contained in the class? I'm attempting to implement IComparable(Of T) just so I have a few of the baseline interfaces implemented. Not planning on doing any sorting yet, but this will save me down the road if I need to.
Reading MSDN states mostly that we have to return 0 if the objects are equal, -1 if obj1 is less than obj2, or 1 is obj1 is greater than obj2. But that's rather simplistic.
Consider an IPv4 address (which is what I'm implementing in my class). There's two main numbers to consider -- the IP address itself, and the CIDR. An IPv4 address by itself is assumed to have a CIDR of /32, so in that case, in a CompareTo method, I can just compare the addresses directly to determine if one is greater or less than the other. But when the CIDR's are different, then things get tricky.
Assume obj1 is 10.0.0.0/8 and obj2 is 192.168.75.0/24. I could compare these two addresses a number of ways. I could just ignore the CIDR, and still regard as obj2 as being greater than obj1. I could compare them based on their CIDR, which would be comparing the size of the network (and a /8 will trump a /24 quite easily). I could compare them on both their numerical address AND their CIDR, on the off chance obj2 was actually an address inside the network defined by obj1.
What's the kind of approach used to handle situations like this? Can I define two CompareTo methods, overloaded, such that one would evaluate one address relative to another address, and the second would evaluate the size of the overall network? How would the .NET framework be told which one to use depending on how one might want to sort an array? Or do some other function that relies on CompareTo()?
