In VB6.0, you could create a sub that took an array byref, and then call it with an argument that was an indexed element of the array, and it would treat that index as the starting point. This was very useful, for example, if you were trying to create a binary string to send over a communication port.The same thing doesn't work in VS 2008,Let us say for example I have the following Sub:
Public Sub HexToAddr(ByRef addr() As Byte, ByVal addrstr As String)
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To 7[code]....
Is there some tricky way to make this work, or do I really have to either (a) create a completely separate array of bytes, call the function, and then copy the data, or (b) create a completely separate version of HexToAddr which takes an "offset" argument for the destination array?
I have been working on this for a few days, and I am going around in circles. I can make the program work by including everything in the same sub procedure, but the assignment requires that I do certain tasks by using function procedures.What I need to do is take the contents of a text box, reverse the order of the first and last names, and add them to a list box. I can do that, just not by passing value from a function procedure. Here is my
I am trying to create a Library for like code that we use in more than one application. One call involves an array where I need to create a pointer to the array for what I need.
Is there a way to pass a value ByRef, have it increment, and return the value back to the original call?
Reading [URL] made me wonder whether the comments in there did apply to Strings in terms of performance. Since strings are copied before being passed, isn't it much more efficient (if the callee doesn't need a copy of string course) to pass strings ByRef?
public interface IMenuSecurityService { void SetSecurityFlags(List<MenuItem> items); }
I need to implement this interface in a VB.Net class. When I implement the SetSecurityFlags method with the items parameter passed ByVal, it compiles.
Public Sub SetSecurityFlags(ByVal items As List(Of L1.Common.Model.MenuItem)) Implements IMenuSecurityService.SetSecurityFlags ' do some work End Sub
When I try to implement it with the items parameter passed ByRef, I get the following compiler error: Class 'UserRights' must implement 'Sub SetSecurityFlags(items As System.Collections.Generic.List(Of Model.MenuItem))' for interface
Public Sub SetSecurityFlags(ByRef items As List(Of L1.Common.Model.MenuItem)) Implements IMenuSecurityService.SetSecurityFlags ' do some work End Sub
I can't seem to figure this one out. Does VB.Net not support this or am I doing something wrong?

I have a function that accepts a String by reference:Function Foo(ByRef input As String)
If I call it like this:
Foo(Nothing)
I want it to do something different than if I call it like this:Dim myString As String = Nothing Foo(myString) Is it possible to detect this difference in the way the method is called in VB .NET?All the logic is in the second overload, but I want to perform a different branch of logic if Nothing was passed into the function than if a variable containing Nothing was passed in.
I have some code that is transforming the coordinates of a line.I want to keep the original coords and I thought passing the line ByVal would be the best way.The original VB6 code used a temporary variable so that the original coords were not updated.I'm confused as when the X & y coords of 'line' are changed 'MyLine' is also changed. I had assumed only 'line' would change and 'MyLine' would remain unchanged'.
Private Sub TransformSaveLine(ByVal MyLine As LineType) Dim P As Integer Dim line As LineType Dim x As Double
How to search a dump.bin for a pattern then take the offset it is at, i.e. 8DB358 and search that string as hex? Here is an example of what was being done without a program for it:[URL]..I'm making debug codes for a gaming system... I'm Using visual basic 2008 express edition on windows vista
i am writing a program "serial over TCP/ip " every thing is fine but my problem is that when a data received from a client i get "System. ArgumentException:Offset and length were out of bounds for the array or count is greater than the number of elements from index to the end of the source collection." what i realy want is to write 9 bytes from the clint received data to the serial port then read 19 bytes from the serial port to send to the client even if this error ocures the program still works fine and the interface between the serial port over the network also works fine, but i don't want this msg to view that the my code .[code]
I have code, shown below, that works all except for 1 thing: The variables being passed byRef get passed, but once modified in the else section of the "if me.invokerequired" code of RecordData, the variables are never updated in the calling function. To reiterate, the calling function does not receive the updated data that is in the variables custid and amt.When debugging, I see the data change in the else section of "if me.invokerequired", but once it returns from the callback the data is missing.[code]
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.
I can't fix following code: Private Sub Dic_List(ByRef sender As Array) Dim L_sender As Integer L_sender = sender.Length / 5 - 1 ReDim Preserve sender(4, L_sender + 200) End Sub Error 1 'Redim' statement requires an array. But sender is an array.
VS 2008 VB/I've implemented an interface to a .com program written in c++. I'm trying to access a data structure array(uNewValues) of type PLCCOMMLib.ANALOG_CONTIN. uNewValues should be a datastructure array of several elements (iSigIDCount). My problem is I only get the first array element of the datastructure.I've tried several methods and looked into marshalling but don't understand how to implement marshalling if that is the correct option.
Code below:
Public Sub AnalogContinUpdate(ByVal iSigIDCount As Integer, ByRef puTimeDateStampGMT As PLCCOMMLib._FILETIME, ByRef uNewValues As PLCCOMMLib.ANALOG_CONTIN)
I am creating a dll with all the functions and subroutines that I use all the time and I decided to create a function that I can pass different types of array to so the function obviously (or not) would have an array of type object. Now I no you can pass any type into an object type but when I pass an integer array into an object array I get an error.
value of type '1-dimensional array of integer' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of object' because 'integer' is not a reference type.
Shared Function CompareArray(ByVal FirstArray() As Object, ByVal SecondArray() As Object, Optional ByRef ErrorMessage As String = "") As Boolean Dim IntArrayOne() As Integer = {1,2,3,4,5} Dim IntArrayTwo() As Integer = {1,2,3,5,6} Dim IsSame As Boolean = False IsSame = CompareArray(IntArrayOne(), IntArrayTwo())
I am trying to pass a 2D array into a dll I wrote in C. When I run the program, it crashes at the first line (in the dll) that I try to read the array. It gives an error that it is trying to read protected memory. I'm guessing this means the array was not correctly passed to the dll, so the program is trying to read a memory location that doesn't exist. Is the problem somewhere in my VB code? If not, it must be in my C code, right?
Here is my VB code:
Declaration of the function in the dll:
Code:
Private Declare Function image_processing Lib "image_processingDLL.dll" _ (ByRef image_array As Long, ByVal dpi As Long, _ ByVal xDim As Long, ByVal yDim As Long) As result Calling the function:
I am using Visual Basic .NET 2005 and I need to call a DLL made in VB6. Couple of days ago i wrote a test dll in VB6 and called it from VB.NET. I passed an array and another variable. And the dll got it and displayed the values in the array. (I didnt save that code)Now when I am writing it again I am getting an error "Specified array was not of the expected type." [code]If I do not pass array then it accepts but otherwise it does not. The array here is CD().
I have an old program written in VB6. I upgraded the program with VB 2008. The updated program works fine except when the program tries to transfer an array to another subroutine. The old VB6 program sends arr(0) as an argument to the subroutine, the address of arr(0) is passed to the subroutine. The array arr() address is the first of a block of consequent addresses one by one, arr(1), arr(2), etc.
Now when running VBnet, the address of arr(0) is not the first of all consequent arr(1), arr(2), etc. It is an isolated number, just like if arr(0) were a variable instead of an array. The addresses of arr(1), arr(2), etc do not exist in the subroutine. [Code]
The variable of y1 passes to the subroutine oK, whilst arr(0) passes also like y1 into an isolated address. So VBnet interprets arr(0) like a variable rather than the first value of a long list. I haven't been able to find out why the above sample does not work. I got stuck in my programming effort, as I cannot proceed to to further development. how the code should be modified to enable the whole array information passing through the subroutine.
I m a student and new to VBI m triyng to pass an array as parrametersAnd the compiler says I havent declared the array my coding is as below
[XCODE]Sub Main() 'Fill array Dim MyArray(0 To 9) AsString For lLoop AsInteger = 1 To UBound(MyArray) Console.Write("Enter First Name " & lLoop & ": ")
When I try to do the same in .net the "array argument" value of the second sub is either Nothing or I get an error saying "Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to'System.Array'."I've tried converting the array to a system.array but it will not hold all the Types of data it needs to hold. (I tried 3 days ago and don't remember what Types would cause an error. My 1st value is a string and the second is an integer and this caused some error.)

I have a question regarding calling a C++ dll from vb.net.My C++ dll has a function that takes char **data (2D char array) as a parameter like this for example.
I'm wondering if this sort of thing is possible in VB.NET.. say I have a routine which accepts an integer array, defined as:
Sub WriteTable(iRows As Integer, arrColumns As Integer()) The arrColumns parameter is an integer array of column widths. I can pass a value by doing this:
I'm having trouble passing an array of a user defined type to an procedure in a COM DLL. The prototype for the procedure i'm using is this:
HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE GetData( /* [in] */ DWORD dwCount, /* [size_is][out][in] */ CSimData *puData) = 0; CSimData is a structure which is also defined in the interface.
I'm trying to call it with the following code but am getting an exception:
Dim temp(1) As MACHPLANTSIM18Lib.CSimData temp(0) = New MACHPLANTSIM18Lib.CSimData temp(1) = New MACHPLANTSIM18Lib.CSimData
[code]....
The exception i'm getting is "COMException was unhandled - Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0000005" It looks to me that the array isn't passing properly to the COM function. I'm able to send a single object, but when I do an array of objects I get this exception.
