In a VB 2010 program we have two classes Aclass and Bclass.In Bclass we need all values of an Aobject.How could we pass the Aobject to Bobject?[code]Is there any VB entity that could be defined as including all the properties of a given class?
View 3 RepliesI've got a main form (Form1.vb) where I created some controls (with the Designer).I've created a class myTextBox, inheriting from TextBox, in myTextBox.vb.In the main form, I call procedures from myTextBox. The issue is, those procedures use values from the Form controls. So the class doesn't recognise them as initialised.What's the best solution for this?I think I could pass the object itself as a parameter but doing it on each call seems a bitredundant and it thickens the code.Is there any way to access the Form1 controls and objects directly from the myTextBox.vb class?

I am making use of a 3rd party dll and am encountering some strange behavior in VB, which doesn't occur in C# Perhaps someone can explain what is going on. Anyhow, I am making use of a method in this 3rd party library which accepts an array parameter ByRef. The end result is the variable should remain null after the method call, but it is returning initialized for some reason.

View 2 RepliesBase 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'm sure there are several ways of achieving my goal but I am after opinions on what you think is the best option. I'm writing a vb.net application which (amongst other thinks) interfaces with media players in the home. Because there are different types of media playersI'm trying to structure it so each type of media player has it's own class which interfaces to a management class which sits on top of all the different devices types.
The device classes are responsible for discovering the phsyical devices and returning that information up to the management class. A device class may be responsible for monitoring 1 or more physical devices so..

I am somewhat new to object oriented programming and am attempting to flatten a Linq object hierarchy by using a shim class.how to initalize a derived class with property values from a base class?I have two objects, a base object with about 100 properties, and a derived object which inherits from the base object and adds a few additional properties beyond those of the base object. My simple constructor creates the derived object, but I am looking for a way to initialize the derived object properties with values from the base object.Right now I am using reflection to iterate over the properties individually and I suspect there may be a better way. The following example shows my shim class constructor for the derived class, and two properties:
newProperty1 - a new string property of the derived class
flattenedProperty2 - a new string property of the derived class, copied from a 2nd-level object of the base class
Code example:
Public Class derivedObj
Inherits baseObj
Private _newProperty1 As String[code].......
Is this the correct constructor approach to flatten the object hierarchy using a shim class? My second question relates to initialization of properties in the derived class. The constructor above creates the derived object, but what is the best way to initialize the derived object properties with values from the base object? The following code uses reflection to iterate over the properties individually, but I suspect there may be a better way.
Code example:
' property names are in the string array fieldNames
'baseObjQuery is an ienumerable of baseObj
'derivedObjList is a list of derivedObj[code].....
Is there a simple way to initialize values for the properties in the derived object based upon the values of the common properties in the base object?
I seem to have problem with passing a collection/sorted list/ list of strings from one class to another.I am using property procedure to pass it, however nothing is sent to another class. There isn't any error messages either.[code]

I am creating a procedure and would like to know if I can pass the name of a property. I.e ComboBox1 so I can change the properties of that object. What I have done is create a procedure to populate a Combobox from my MySQL database. What I want to do now is populate the relevant Comboboxes without having to create a new procedure specifically for each combobox. I can create a procedure for each Combobox but the whole reason for procedures and functions are to minimize repetitive code and to make code easier to manage.
At the moment my procedure is ProcedureName(ComboBox1, "DatabaseName", "DatabaseField").
What I want to be able to do is do
ProcedureName(ComboBox1, "DatabaseName", "DatabaseField1").
ProcedureName(ComboBox2, "DatabaseName", "DatabaseField2").
ProcedureName(ComboBox3, "DatabaseName", "DatabaseField3").

I have some classes, BsfciFile and StudyFlashCard. Bsfci is the extension to which I save my set of flashcards in an INI format. I am currently working to transform my code from using Windows API calls to access the INI to using a IniFile class that I found on the internet. I would like the BsfciFile to have a Array of StudyFlashCard objects, but I would like the StudyFlashCard class to use the IniFile class object contained in the BsfciFile class. I can pass the IniFile from the BsfciFile class to the constructor for the StudyFlashCard class, but I want it to modify the same IniFile as the BsfciFile class has later on.

I am having some difficulty getting my head around passing objects between forms and hoped someone might put me on the right track... I have five forms: frmMain, frmLogin, rmAdminMode, frmUserMode, frmUserMode, frmUserModeDeepThere are two main use-cases: admin mode and user mode.Admin Mode: As the project starts it runs frmMain. Clicking a button stops the autologin (simple timer) and will invoke frmLogin (using .ShowDialog). The user is prompted for the users' ID number (four digits) and pass-code (again four digits).frmLogin will query a back-end database to authorise or reject the login attempt (this bit is all working fine) and then return control to frmMain. If the user is a valid admin frmMain will then invoke frmAdminMode.
frmMain -> frmLogin
<- frmLogin
-> frmAdminMode

I am making a new class that requires a lot of input information. Some of the properties need to be set to a default value, however I do not want to hard code them into the class.
What do you think would be the most efficient way to populate these properties?
I've been thinking of making a new class to hold all the default props and pass them as one object into the new class as a single argument but it seems kind of clunky.

The problem I'm having is the first time I take a value, it gets inserted in the right section. The second time I insert a value, it inserts it in the correct place AND updates the previous value I inserted with the new value. So apparently when I'm doing:
HighScore1 = Contestant
It's pointing contestant AT highscore1 rather than taking the name, company, and score from contestant and then storing it in highscore1. How I can pass that info by value rather than by reference?

I created a program a while back, in the traditional VB.NET way by drawing a bunch of forms. I have started playing around with creating the forms at runtime using classes. I have a placeholder form called frmStartup which merely calls the CreateLogin() sub from the CreateFormClass. The CreateLogin() sub creates a new blank form, then calls the grpbxLogin(), btnSave() and btnExit() subs from the FormElementClass which adds all the buttons and textboxes to the form. Within the FormElementClass, I have associated btnSave and btnExit with event handlers. These even handlers call subs from the DataProcessingClass. The event handler for Exit works just fine.I am having a problem with the Save event handler. Precisely, I don't know how to pass either the username or password from the Login form to the btnLogin_Click() sub in the DataProcessingForm. I have tried using Me. and frmLogin., but the program doesn't see either of those. If the Login form is an instance that is disposed of once another Sub is called, then it won't exist later on to call from. I have tried declaring variables and passing those along to btnLogin_Click, but no matter where I put it, the program doesn't see txtbxUsername.Text or txtbxPassword.Text. Not even from within FormElementsClass, which is were the boxes are created.Any ideas on how to pass variables in this case? I am not even sure what you would call this such as passing between classes, or passing between instances.[code]
