Reading through "The Pragmatic Programmer", I've come across the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) and Orthagonal (keep code modular) principles.I have a suite of modules, some of which have common procedures. Because each module is a separate project in Visual Studio, up until now I have simply copied code from one project to another when 1 module (project) needs to do the same function as another module (project). This is when functionality overlaps, not when 2 modules (projects) do everything the same.
I always suspected this was bad practice (and have seen the fruits of my suspicions when the subs get out of sync), and the book confirmed me in this belief. So, what I want to do is make a central code repository for the 4 or 5 common subs, but I don't know how to do it.Should I make a .dll file for each sub I want to use in multiple places? If so, how do I do that? Is there another way to do what I want to do?
1. I have a subroutine that takes a filepath (and if disconnected also a SqlConnection) and loads the referenced file into a database as a BLOB.
2. I have 3 separate projects in 1 VS solution that all run basically the same version of this code.
3. I want all 3 to run EXACTLY the same code.
4. I want 1 version of this code so that any changes made don't need to be made in 3 places.
5. I have a few other instances like this for other subroutines.

I am trying to get the hang of Dynamic loading of objects from assemblies on the same machine (But NOT part of the same project).In the sample below, Form1 implements an interface built as part of the .dll I placed in C:Release. I am trying to create a local instance of Form1, and Cast it as Iform, so that the local code can access the properties and methods exposed by the interface.The assumption here is that at runtime, local code will have access to the String name of a form, and an interface which is implemented by the form (and is compiled into the .dll as well as the client application), and that is it.
When I run this code, I get a exception: "Unable to cast object of type 'WindowsApplication1.Form1' to type 'WindowsApplication1.Iform'.
Public Function fApplicationObject() As Iform
Dim sLocation As String = "C:ReleaseWindowsApplication1.dll"
Dim sType As String = "WindowsApplication1.Form1"
[code]....
I seem unable to dynamically load an object from a dll and then utilize an interface to access it's properties and such.
I have an enumeration in the form[code]...
I would like to use these as values in a ComboBox, but I would like to display the strings "My Stuff" and "My Things" respectively.
I'm sure I've seen a method for quickly creating some kind of local object definition where I can assign a string property to be displayed, and a "MyCollections" type property to store the value of the enum element, but I can't for the life of me think of how to explain that to a search engine.
My question is a combination of VB.Net creating html code..No Google links to pointless areticles in languages that are not VB.NET, please. If you cannot code it yourself, please don't reply because it's so annoying to ask a question then get pointless, timewasting links just so you can get your points score up.I have a table which has 3 columns - nothing special just simple but its's the row number I am having issues with. Will explain soon.There is a directory with jpg files in it and the number of jpg files increased yesterday by 67, today by 37. Because the picture files come with any filename I have created a Windows app that renames the new files taking the ending point of yesterdays number as the starting point for today..So, each row holds 3 jpg files therefore 67 jpg / 3 = rows (yesterday). First number today is 68. I type 68 into the app I created, enumberating & moving (renaming) the jpg ('hduyhdgu.jpg becomes 68.jpg, suhdos.jpg becomes 69.jpg and so on for each of the new jpgs in that directory. That is done by the simple FileInfo/DirectoryInfo classes. Whilst renaming the photos in numerical sequence it has to write the html in the following form: [code] My Questions are:
1) How to sort out the row numbers so they flow in groups of 3 correctly and not 70, 71, 72, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75..?
2) How to create the table in code that dynamically draws itself with 3 columns (200px each done by CSS) wide and enough rown to hold every jpg in that directory? So, if I moved 5000 jpgs in that directory tomorrow the code will loop through and create the html.
3) If creating the table dynamically as in Q2 above how would I fix the place to draw it? Placeholder? A div is easy (<div 'id="MyTable" runat="server"></div>. In code behind: MyTable.InnerText=.../MyTable.InnerHtml=...) but is it the best idea? [code]
I'm new here at Dream.In.Code, and this is my first question! To begin I would like to say I am new to Java but not new to coding, I am using Eclipse IDE 3.7 for Java and only have a basic knowledge of Java. I understand how it works; I don't know very much code... On to my question! I am wishing to create a simple JAR file for my own education/demonstration. Yet despite my searching and reading through my book I cannot find any relevant information about how JAR files are constructed. So, what defines a JAR file? How does one compile/make one?
P.S. I wish to work with JAR files because of their seeming simplistic nature and cross-compatibility. This is true, yes?My dearest apologies, I realise I posted this in the wrong forum. May a moderator move it for me?

View 2 RepliesI need some help in the creation of a program to generate a security code based on the current date. I need to create something that first multiplies the MMDDYY (ie X=MM * DD * YY) then also adds the MMDDYY then finds the remainder and then multiplies but a specified number. I would like to create a small program that sits in the system tray with this code displayed. The code will always need to be 6 characters, so I might need to pad it with zeros. It has been years since I took basic VB, and I am really rusty.

I stumbled upon the statement "If Me IsNot Nothing" several times. Often I find this in WinForms samples.I dont't get the sense or meaning of this line. "Me" refers to the current Object or Form, so if I am executing this line "Me" can't be Nothing. Or am I missing something here?Is there a way that Code of an Object is executing even when the current Object is Nothing?
View 12 RepliesI understand the basics of using VB.NET, what I don't understand is what I need to tell the computer to do. I'm supposed to create a subprogram to calculate the greatest common factor and another subprogram to reduce the fraction from the answers retrieved from the first subprogram. My teacher said something about using Mod to calculate it, and also attempted and failed to explain ByVal and ByRef parameters. I don't even know where to begin other than the parameters I have for each, and even those have a high chance of being completely wrong.[code]

View 11 RepliesI am currently working on an asp.net web page with a GridView displaying a table from a database.This GridView has 4 DropDownLists that will be used to filter the data shown on the GridView. When the page loads 4 Sub routines are run, each one connecting to the database with a select statement to fill the DropDownList with relevant filter headings.
Initially, I had one connection with a loop that populated all of the drop downs but these contained duplicates. I then split the filling of each DDL so that the select statements could contain DISTINCT. I would like (and am sure there is a way here) to be able to populate all of the DDLs with data from one connection.
Code for one connection:
Protected Sub FillDepDDL()

conn.ConnectionString =

Dim Name As String
Dim txtFirst = "../../Names/first.txt"
Dim txtLast = "../../Names/last.txt"

I need Name to be no longer than 15 characters, and it doesnt matter if the name stays in tact, it just needs to cut off characters from the end of the string until its 15 or less.
In the process of creating an Icon object, I need to reduce the numbers of colors in an image from thousands down to 256 or less. I do this by "chromatizing" the RGB values - counting the colors - then re-iterating the process with heavier "chromatization" until the number of colors is reduced to my requirement.
I searched these forums and google on this subject to find out more - but I found that I alone call this process "chromatization" it seems. So I was hoping someone could help me out with the correct terminology.
Specifically, I want to use the correct terminology on my UI buttons (at present I have a button labeled [Chromatize] . .) and I am curious as to whether it would be good practice to "chromatize" the Green most heavily, the Red more moderately, and the Blue least . . . or just "chromatize" them all equally which is what I have been doing
i am currently working on an application that reads the MAC addresses of all phones within the range of our bluetooth reader on the workstation. However, we would like to reduce the range of the reader to < 1 meter. I have dont alot of research and the only solution that i have found is a hardware one; i.e. changing the device to a class 3 or getting a custom made device that will have it's range adjusted to our preferences. However, i also know that we can adjust the power that runs through the bluetooth device in order to reduce the range. Is there any way that we can reduce the power of the device ? We don't have many funds atm and we're looking at a software solution and not a hardware one.

How do I reduce flicker in a vb2005 panel?Inside the parent panel I have 2 other panels that I'm am using.
The outer most panel contains a background sprite and the two innermost panels are overlays that change to fit the places in the background sprite.When I change the overlay sprites I would like to reduce the flicker and make it a smooth transition from one sprite to the next.

I've looked up ways to reduce the ViewState:
Viewstate Optimisations
Strategies for reducing ViewState size in asp.net
However, due to the situation I'm in, I need the quickest and most effective ways to reduce the ViewState size. The legacy system I'm working on is bloated and routinely has a ViewState that's 800Kb+ on multiple postbacks.
For example, I'm pretty sure populating drop down lists with 100+ items on multiple post backs is one of the culprits, correct?
Disabling the ViewStae entirely doesn't appear feasible. It breaks all of the controls, of which there are many, rendering the pages unusable. If this is the best approach, how should I go about handling all the broken controls?
