Passing Serializable Objects Through Sockets?
Jul 16, 2009I have no idea where to begin. I've looked online but haven't been able to find anything.

View 1 RepliesI'm translating a document management application from vb6. I want to program with good habits and technique, so I'm asking for your opinion really rather than just a solution.I have a decent understanding of OOP, but I'm not very experienced in VB at all. What I'm doing now is trying to figure out the best way to pass objects between forms.For example, in my initialization form, I have an object that stores a group of database connections. I need to pass this object around because reconnecting takes a significant amount of time. There are other objects such as user info and permissions.
Public Class Form 1
Dim DB = New DBobject
Public Sub Form1_Load

I have an ASP application, which calls an HTTP WCF service, which calls a TCP WCF service (all on different servers). I'm ultimately trying to pass one class object between the three.I've discovered that I can't do this directly in the HTTP WCF, even though my class object is defined identically in BOTH WCFs. Like this:
Public Function CallOtherFunction(ByVal ThisClass as MyClass)
Dim RetVal as Boolean
RetVal = CallMyOtherWCFFunction(ThisClass)
End Function
Instead I have to:
Public Function CallOtherFunction(ByVal ThisClass as MyClass)
Dim RetVal as Boolean
Dim MyOutgoingClass as MyOtherWCF.MyClass

My objects are rather large, to say they have a lot of properties. Any way to not have to declare a new variable in my calling function?
I always thought I understood how this works...but lately I have started really using interfaces and now things arent doing what I am expecting.
using entity framework, I have a service for each object that is responsible for interacting with the database and such....on my one service I am passing the collection of objects to my service as an icollection(of contactinfo) before I pass the object, the changetraker has the right states. however in my method, this is not the case and all states are set to unmodified.
Private Sub SaveExecute(ByVal param As Object)
Dim srv As Services.ContactInfoService = GetService(Of Services.IContactInfoService)()
[Code]....
As I said above the Me.contacInfoCollection has the right changetracking states. But Once its passed to the srv.savechanges it reverts to unmodified. I am sure its something silly I am missing...the whole EF thing can be confusing to me...
I have the following problem. This is a simple example of some classes I have (each have dependencies on other classes).
public Class1()
{
public Class1(Class2 class2)[code].....
The problem I have is that the assert is always null, even though class1 has been initalized. One condition I do have is that I only want there to be one instance of each class created.
I have the following code in Class B
FolderList.add(FolderCategory)
when i do a count it display a list of 25 items in the folderlist.Now i have a main class when i tried to use the following method
Dim MainClass as New ClassB
Console.writeline(MainClass.FolderList.count()) the value reflects as 0 items meaning is empty.i need to retrieve the arraylist from Class B using the MainClass to retrieve those items inside the arraylist.
I was wondering if someone could tell me if this is "bad practice" or is a perfectly acceptable way to pass an object to another form.I've cut out a lot of the code to summarise what im asking.

Dim myRetrievedObject as myObject = Module1.returnSavedObject()Is this a acceptable way of passing an object between forms or is it a completely bad idea?Ideally i would like to be able to "add" further objects to the initially created object in Form1 but then on reloading of Form1 , retrieve the new version of myObject with the newly added objects within the myObject class.My initial thinking is this creates an almost session like state for the initial object. So you can use the same object over all 3 forms or more and just simply add to it like a shopping cart type of functionality.
I have adopted a technique where I pass existing objects to forms so that they can display the object's content and allow the user to alter it if necessary. The form is not bound to the object, so when it comes time to act, the form sweeps up the content of its controls and puts them into the object. The object is then validated and any issues reported to the user. If the object is valid, it may be handed back to the caller so the caller can refresh a view/list/etc.
So far, so good. However, if the form's content, or lack of, creates an invalid object and the user does not correct it, maybe cancelling the form, there's a chance the form will hand an invalid object back to the caller. This is not good.
Essentially I'm looking for an elegant and efficient way of either leaving the object as it was or rolling back if the user cancels the form/action.
I have considered a range of techniques, each with many pros and cons. I'm keen to consider some other views.
Base class has one field to hold numeric balance value. With 2 methods that accept arguments for adding and subtracting the new input calculating new balance. Sub class has four fields dates, transaction, memo and amount.I have a deposit form, and withdraw form. Each time one transaction is entered it creates an object with sub class fields, then adds to the account collection. My problem is not understanding how to call the deposit/withdraw method and pass the current transaction amount back to the base class to alculate the new balance. Does anyone have any links to information/tutorials on how to perform something like this? As you can see with my code I have tried various different approaches without any success.

I have a class that is serializable. I would like to compute the MD5 of it. I already had a function in the project to get a MD5 from a Stream, so I reused it, and created a function to convert an object to a memorystream. The code is as follows. Does anyone see any problems, but more to the point, is there an easier way to do this that I'm simply missing?

I have the follow VB.NET class definition:<Serializable()> Partial Public Class Customers End Class
Inside another file I have the same thing (with different methods and variables of course). When I compile, I get the following error:Attribute 'SerializableAttribute' cannot be applied multiple times.The error is pretty self explanatory. My question is though, if I just mark the one class as Serializable(), can I assume the entire class with be marked as serializable()? In other words, Do I only need the serializable() tag in 1 spot in the class?

View 3 RepliesToSerializable is it possible instead of marking a Class with the <Serializable()> attribute?
as in the following Class.So you could maybe do:>>myObject.ToSerializable

I have the following architecture for my project:UI -> Web Server -> App Server -> Database
I am using SOA architecture for my project. My Web Service is residing on AppServer having BL (Business Layer) / BO (Business Object) / DAL (Data Access Layer). I am exposing the BL using Web Service. I am getting the service reference to this Web Service at WebServer by creating the proxy using WSDL.exe. Now my question is:

EDIT: SI have a web service which uses a class of functions in order to return data used in various business processes (via InfoPath). One of the functions takes a given SQLCommand object and executes it into a SQLDataReader. Now depending on the SQL command text used this may return one or many rows of one or many columns. So what is the best class for this function to return bearing in mind it needs to be serialized by the web service.
My existing code is:
Dim array As New ArrayList

I have to handle concurrency control and I used SqlClient.SqlTransaction with IsolationLevel.Serializable level. In that transaction, I do 3 works:
1. Select the latest updated time from a record of a table
2. Compare the latest updated time with a stored time paramater
3. If the result form comparision is "same" I will update that record
But my problem is, when 2 transactions is run at almost the same time.

I have a class called Truck and a form called frmTruck I have some code like this in a method. It recieves obj as Truck
Dim ms As New MemoryStream(1000)
Dim bf As New BinaryFormatter(Nothing, New StreamingContext(StreamingContextStates.Clone))
bf.Serialize(ms, obj)
To simplify my code, I have basically something like this for frmTruck:
public class frmTruck
private truckValue as Truck
public sub DoSomething()
[code]....
During the LoadTruckFromDatabase function I call the SerializeTruck method, here everything goes fine. But when I call the SerializeTruck just before End sub of DoSomething, it goes wrong I get an exception saying that frmTruck is not serializable My truckinstance doesn't have any references to frmTruck...

I'm trying to create a custom control that contains a List(Of Panel). I quickly ran into an error about the base class Panel being nonserializable. So I created my own class that inherits from Panel and implemented the ISerializable interface. At the surface, everything appears to work, at least everything at design time. I don't know what would happen if I tried to run the application. Anyway, the errors occur when I try to open a file that contains my custom control. For example, I create a new Windows Form and add my custom control to it. I save the Form and close it.
Then I try to open the form and get the following error: Object of type 'MyTestApplication.SerializablePanel[]' cannot be converted to type 'MyTestApplication.SerializablePanel[]'.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong? I've opened the XML file to see what it's actually writing, and read the header notes about using binary base64 serialization. I think that's what I'm using, but I'm not sure.
Below is the code for the class SerializablePanel:
Imports System.Runtime.Serialization
Imports System.ComponentModel

I have a table with a Int PK column and a name. I want to load them into an object of some sort and return them using Json() ActionResult in MVC 2. I am having a hard time finding a built-in structure that is supported for serialization that keeps a simple key/value structure in tact.
Ultimately I would like to do something like:
