Random Changing Of A Variable In A Class?

Aug 16, 2009

am running VB express (2008 edition). I have a class that holds 2 arrays (1 array represents the digits of the integer side of a number the other holds the decimal digits) I have overloaded all the operators to work with these numbers as if they were one. Each operator has the following format:

[Code].....

whats happening is that the sign of the b variable (and only the b variable) randomly changes. Almost allways at the statement bb=b (bb is in place so when I reach that point I know what the variable had before the calculation). I can watch it change as I step through the code (stepping over the operators) I can watch it change almost allways at the bb=b, but sometimes in other odd places (such as the d=a*yparam statement). I can change the values back to their original and step through the code(stepping into the operator this time) and it will not do it. It NEVER does it when stepping into the operator, only when I dont, and only sometimes. I have spent the last two days working on debugging this one problem, with every other variable in the function it works like it should and I am not sure what to look at next. I know it does you no good without seeing the code but didnt think pasting 8,000 lines of code would go over too well so I would be willing to send the source to anyone

If you run this code you will see that the 500 PictureBoxes that are added ( this is easier to show than adding pixels as a pixel is only a single point ) fall mainly on the diagonal.With regard the RANDOM class, why should this be like this when the bounds of the instances are? >>

Rapidly Changing Labels To Random Numbers

Feb 18, 2011

As a brief summary, I have an issue writing a program. A part of the program has a While loop that is supposed to change some labels to random numbers every iteration of the loop. But, instead of all that, the labels just turn blank until the end of the loop is achieved, and only then is the random number written.

While (o < 3000)
r1 = Rnd()
str1 = CStr(r1)
Label1.Text = str1
o = o + 1

Inside The Service Class, Declare A Class Variable Named Started?

May 8, 2012

Create a class named Service. Inside the Service class, declare a class variable named Started. The datatype of this variable is Boolean.Public Class Service Dim started as Boolean End Class Create a class named Server. Inside the Server class, declare a dynamic array that can contain elements of the type Service.(Note: For convenience, both the array and the variable Started can be accessible from a client program that creates an instance of Server and Service respectively)

Create a constructor for the Service class. When the constructor is executed, it will set the value of the class variable Started to True. Create two new classes: WebServer and DatabaseEngine. Both of these classes inherit from the class Service. Inside the Service class, declare a Sub procedure (method) named Terminate. This method should display the following text Service stopping in a message box when executed.This method can be overridden in classes that inherit from Service class.

Inside both the WebServer and DatabaseEngine class, override the method Terminate inherited from their base class Service. Both methods should first call the base class Terminate method. The messages Web server stopping and Database engine stopping should also be displayed in a message box when the Terminate method for the WebServer and DatabaseEngine are called respectively. These messages should only be displayed if the Started variable inherited from their base class is not equal to False.

Inside the Server class, declare a method named Shutdown. This method does not return any value. When executed, it will call the Terminate method for each of the Service instances (if any) in the arrServices
array. You should call the Terminate method within a For Each loop that loops through the elements of the arrServices array.

In the Sub Main method, create an instance of the class Server. Set the size of the arrServices array in
your Server instance to contain 2 elements. Create first a WebServer instance and then a DatabaseEngine
instance into this array. Call the Shutdown method from your Server instance.

Variable Class Names - Rename My Class Human To Man

Dec 18, 2009

What i'm trying to do:

I've got a library which includes a class:

Class Human
End Class
and another class which refers to the human class

Class ASD
Private somevar as new Human
End Class

Ok now i've got a problem, i wish to rename my class Human, to Man. i've got to change Human to Man 2 times, which is OK but the problem is that in the real case, its not just 2 times, its like 500 times or more.

Well its something like a PHP on Javascript.

the following shows the solution of what i'm trying to do, but its in another language PHP/Javascript:

note: in php $ sign declares a variable, echo writes the variable out

Console Random Number To Variable?

Nov 8, 2009

I am making a simple console game. If you have ever heard of the board game code breaker you will understand better.

In my version of the game you will have to figure out a four number combination. The only numbers it can be is 1, 2, 3, or 4.

I need to generate four random numbers and put each on into its own variable. This allows me to call back each number.

How do I do this? I have been doing some research on random numbers and I use this code to generate four random numbers

Dim rnd As New Random()
Console.WriteLine("20 random integers from -100 to 100:")
For ctr As Integer = 1 To 20
Console.Write("{0,6}", rnd.Next(-100, 101))
If ctr Mod 5 = 0 Then Console.WriteLine()
Next
Console.WriteLine()

But I can't figure out to put each number into a variable so I can call the same numbers back.

VS 2008 Variable Changing - How To Stop It

Feb 18, 2010

The following procedures sorts a listview column based on what the tag is, 'Numeric', 'String' or 'Date'. When you click on the column header the sort procedure kicks in. On the first click it will sort ascending and on the second click it will sort descending.

My problem is that when I click a second time it won't sort descending but re-sorts ascending again.It appears when the sortorder is passed to the ListViewColumnSorter.vb classes it changes back to ascending even though it's called as descending. I've bolded the offending variables using a Numeric search.Now here's the really iritaing thing, I have exactly the same code in another application and it works perfectly?

Private Sub lvwResults_ColumnClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ColumnClickEventArgs) Handles lvwResults.ColumnClick
SortMyListView(Me.lvwResults, e.Column, , True)

Use CType To Change An Object Variable "obj" To Custom Class That Reference Using A String Variable Like Obj.GetType.Name?

Feb 9, 2011

The code below works for the class that I hard coded "XCCustomers" in my RetrieveIDandName method where I use CType. However, I would like to be able to pass in various classes and property names to get the integer and string LIST returned. For example, in my code below, I would like to also pass in "XCEmployees" to my RetrieveIDandName method. I feel so close... I was hoping someone knew how to use CType where I can pass in the class name as a string variable.

Note, all the other examples I have seen and tried fail because we are using Option Strict On which disallows late binding. That is why I need to use CType.I also studied the "Activator.CreateInstance" code examples to try to get the class reference instance by string name but I was unable to get CType to work with that.When I use obj.GetType.Name or obj.GetType.FullName in place of the "XCCustomers" in CType(obj, XCCustomers)(i)I get the error "Type 'obj.GetType.Name' is not defined" or "Type 'obj.GetType.FullName' is not defined"

frm1.lblLastScan5.Text = frm1.lblLastScan4.Text
frm1.lblLastScan4.Text = frm1.lblLastScan3.Text

this does not work as i would expect tho. I was hoping that if several forms had the same label names, then I can just update them all through the class by just passing the form. is there anyway to achieve what I'm trying to do.

Custom Class And Random Numbers

May 30, 2009

I am still learning vb.net and decided to make a "horse race" to get a better understanding of inheritance and such. So first of all I made a horse class that inherits from the picturebox. I gave the horse properties such as image, height, width, x-position, and y-position. I also gave the horse a speed(between 1-1000). My idea was to have the horses start at the starting line and get them to move using a timer. Each time the timer fires the move method executes. The move method creates a new random number(seeded by DateTime.now.milisecond) between 1-1000, if the random number is lower than the speed of the horse it will "move" adding 1 to the x-position property.

Here is the code for the class :
Public Class Horse
Inherits PictureBox
Private m_speed As Integer
Private m_picture As Image
Private m_xposition As Integer
[Code] ....

Now things work as I expected for the most part, I created two new horses and gave them values, if one is "faster" than the other it will move faster. Here is the code I use to create two horses and put them in an array:
Private thisHorse As New Horse(700, My.Resources.Horse__Small_, 20, 30, 100, 100)
Private secondHorse As New Horse(700, My.Resources.Horse__Small_, 20, 150, 100, 100)
Private horseArray() As Horse = {thisHorse, secondHorse}

I give the horses visual representation using a loop during the load form event:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
For Each i As Horse In horseArray
i.Visible = True
[Code] .....

The only problem is if I give them both the same speed they seem to move in unison. I have tried adjusting the x-axis increment and have seen them both jump at the same time. Now I realize since they have the same "speed" they should have close to the same movements but wouldn't the random factor in the move method create some discrepancy between the two? I have ran this multiple times and am still unsure what the problem is.

Problem is if i define two instances of this class and configure them(name in this case) then they both display different names but the random integers are ALWAY the same. in this case having the integers the same kinda kills the idea of the program.

Is it possible that the random part only every works for one class, but if .NET is fully OOP then this should not be possible... right?
