Referencing Classes Across Projects

Jan 21, 2010

I've got a project folder which contains all my forms and another project folder where I keep my classes. The forms folder references the classes folder.I can reference the classes folder from the forms folder alright but I have problems when I try to reference a form from a class. For example, if I pass one of my form objects to a class, the class doesn't recognize its type.VB doesn't allow circular referencing so how can I get around this ?

.net - Referencing My.Settings Across Projects?

Apr 19, 2011

I've been poking around in some projects written by one of our contractors, and he seems to be storing a lot of settings in the main "app.config" file for the application, using, for example:

<add key="SomeClass/SomeValue" value="False"/>
And then referencing the key value in the "SomeClass" class in "SomeProjectLibrary" using
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("SomeClass/SomeValue")

While this works, I guess, it also pretty much sucks. I was wondering if anyone knew of some more elegant way of creating variables in the "app.config" file, which could then be used across various applications within a Solution?

Multiple Projects And Referencing?

May 31, 2009

I am currently working on an application that is about 90% finished, and we just got an addition that requires us to create a new project in the solution. My question is, I have a bunch of classes created in the main project that deal with the database, and it has a lot of functionality that I could really use in this other project.

.net - Add Multiple Solutions Referencing The Same Projects To SourceSafe?

Oct 14, 2010

I've got a StartUp project (StartupProjectA) in Visual Studio that references projects A, B and C. I've got all of those in SolutionA.My predecessor has previously added this solution to SourceSafe so that there's a SolutionA folder in SourceSafe, containing a StartupProjectA folder, and A folder, a B folder and a C folder.

It turns out, though, that StartupProjectB and StartupProjectC all live in the same directory as StartupProjectA on the local machine, so on the PC I'm using I have a [GeneralSolution] folder which contains a StartupProjectA folder, a StartupProjectB folder, a StartupProjectC folder, and A folder, a B folder and a C folder.My question is what do I do to get the Solutions for StartupProjectB and StartupProjectC into SourceSafe? I've tried adding them, but they all create their own copies of folders A, B and C. What have I missed?

I'm trying to use the Visual Studio SourceSafe integration to get these solutions into SourceSafe. Doing so creates multiple redundant copies of A, B and C. I would like to have one folder in SourceSafe, containing SPA, SPB, SPC, A, B and C folders. I'm not really sure how to do this, because I can only add entire Solutions to SourceSafe via Visual Studio. There's no option that I can see for "Add this folder to SourceSafe and recognise that these other three folders are already referenced in the repository and so don't need to be added."

Include Code Or Files From Other Projects WITHOUT Referencing Them

Nov 16, 2011

Is there a way that I can include code or other files from other projects WITHOUT referencing them? I am trying to combine our projects into 1 EXE without DLLs. I do not want to use a self extracting EXE either. Let me know if there is a way to do it similar to the C++ #Include.

VS 2005 Referencing Classes In Another Project?

Jun 30, 2010

I'm making an application that will be available as both a Windows App and an ASP.Net App. The web app has a much scaled-down version of the functionality of the window app. I want to reference the classes contained with the windows app from my web app. The thing is, my classes in the windows app may have some modifications: if I reference them in my web app, will this pick up the changes made automatically? Also, referencing the project is for development work, when I go to deploy the web app, I will probably need to reference the classes as dll's. So the next questions are: 1. Is this the right way to go about doing this?
2. How do I make the Classes I have into self-contained dll files?

IDE - Upgrade To 2010 Projects Referencing A Class Library Targeting A Different Framework Fail To Build

Aug 18, 2010

Say I have a Framework 4.0 project that is referencing a class library targeting 3.5. The project will simply not build. It won't give me any valid error message it will just act as though the reference does not exist.

Projects that were working like this in Visual Studio 2008 are no longer working in 2010. Took me forever to figure out what there error is. If I remove the project reference and add it back the intellisense lights up and you can tell a variable referenced in the class library is found. But as soon as you build the project everything is lost. My using statements get underlined, references to the variable all turn grey and project fails to build saying the class cannot be found. Once I make the class library 4.0 as well everything builds. I get the same issue between 4.0 client profile and 4.0 as well.

Asp.net - How Are Classes Shared Between Projects In The Same Solution

Jan 29, 2011

Currently, I have a solution that contains two projects (ASP.net websites, FWIW). If I create a class in Project1, how do I expose it to Project2? Is it automatically available to Project2 because they are in the same solution? Or do I need to do something special to make the connection?

VS 2010 Structure Classes So That The User Interfaces Though A Single Class While The Supporting Classes Are Hidden From Their View?

Jun 13, 2012

How can I structure my classes so that the user interfaces though a single class while the supporting classes are hidden from their view? I think its best understood in an example:

Public Class MyInterface
Public Economic as EconomicClass
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()

[code].....

So you might ask why am I even separating them? It's strictly for others who will be working with this interface. I need to funnel them though a logical structure:

interface.Economic.MyMethod
interface.Currency.MyMethod
etc

This way everything is already handled for them in the background and they only need to run the method they need. I don't know if I can have it both ways in VB.NET.

Referencing An Int Value In VB?

Apr 25, 2010

I have a line of VB code which looks like this : If GroupTagDropDownList.SelectedValue Is "1" Then The system doesn't throw up any errors for it but the statement doesn't appear to work.

I think that the problem must lie in how I've referenced the '1' value - I've tried putting single quotation marks around it but it appears to make no difference at all.

There is definitely a value in the drop down list of value '1' but it doesn't appear to be read at all.

Referencing C++ DLL In .NET?

Sep 9, 2010

I have been given a .dll file (implemented in C++) that I want to use in my VB.NET application.When I try to add a reference to this dll using Visual Studio I get the following error:A reference to 'path-to-dll' could not be added. Please make sure that the file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component.

Based on this error I concluded that I need to register the dll. Since it has been implemented with unmanaged code I tried to use the regsvr32 tool to register it. But when I try to register the dll using this tool I get the following error:Name-Of-DLL was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. This file cannot be registered. how do I add a reference to this dll in my VB.NET application?If I have to register it, how?

Referencing A .jar File?

Dec 7, 2010

I have a java class that is used to for ssl connections to a web server. I have got some of it converted however there are serveral java libraries that i have been unable to figure out how to call or reference in vb.net. First off i'm not even sure if it's possible to reference them. In Java code they look like this:

import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.DataInputStream;

[code].....

I'll use the last one for example: I get a "Namespace or type specified in the Imports 'org.xml.sax.SAXExeption' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found. make sure the namespace or the type is defined and contains at least one public member. Make sure the imported element name doesn't use aliases.

Best Pratice In Inheritance - Three Classes Employee, Manager And Salesman. Manager And Salesman Classes Inherits Employee Class

Jul 27, 2010

I have three classes Employee, Manager and Salesman. Manager and Salesman classes inherits Employee class.

Employee :

Public MustInherit Class Employee
' Field data.
Protected empName As String
Protected empID As Integer
Protected currPay As Single

[CODE]...

Manager :

Public Class Manager
Inherits Employee

[CODE]...

Salesman :

Public Class Salesman
Inherits Employee

[CODE]...

Now I have created a object of salesman and manager using the following code:

Dim objSalesMan as Employee=new Salesman("xyz",1,2000,5000)
Dim objManager as Employee=new Manager("abx",2,5000,"production")

Is this a good programming pratice or should I use:

Dim objSalesMan as new Salesman("xyz",1,2000,5000)
Dim objManager as new Manager("abx",2,5000,"production")

.net - 'cross-referencing' DataTable's?

Jun 15, 2010

I have a DataGridView that is being filled with data from a table. Inside this table is a column called 'group' that has the ID of an individual group in another table.

What I would like to do, is when the DataGridView is filled, instead of showing the ID contained in 'group', I'd like it to display the name of the group. Is there some type of VB.net 'magic' that can do this, or do I need to cross-reference the data myself?

Here is a breakdown of what the 2 tables look like:

table1
id
group (this holds the value of column id in table 2)
weight

[code]....

BTW - I am using Visual Studio Express.

Asp.net - VB/C# Dynamic Calculations & Referencing?

Jun 11, 2012

I'm developing an app in which there's hundreds of different calculations involved and would like for my app's admins to be able to tweak these calculations by specifying the formulas.For example, my database table contains price and quantity. One of the columns 'X' might contain "(price * quantity) over the past 7 days". How can I allow my app's admins to change the calculation from "7 days" to "14 days"?

Is there some way to make calculations dynamic within VB.NET or do I have to rely on stored procedures and write some code to alter those procedure if a change is needed? What are the best practices in this type of a scenario?Ideally, I would like to use something similar to the "Tags" box used when posting questions on here to bring up the available fields and add mathematical operators in between them to perform calculations. It might be adding more complexity, but would be great if an existing calculation isn't overwritten so that it could be used in building a new formula.

Converting A VB 6 Dll To .Net And Referencing In VS 2005

Jun 30, 2011

I was directed to update an old VB6 dll to VB .net as we are moving away from COM objects. The dll contains one function that does a bunch of high math calculations. I opened up a new class project in VS 2005, Imported System.Math, and then basically copied the function code from the VB6 project into the new class. When compiling, I made the assemble COM-Visible and also checked the Register for COM Interop in the project properties. I then copied the dll and tlb files to Windows/system32 and tried to register using Regasm.exe.

Even though I'm using the correct version for .Net 2, I still get error RegAsm : error RA0000 : Failed to load 'C:WINDOWSsystem32eagetairmiles.dll' because it is not a valid .NET assembly. When attempting to add a reference to it in my new .Net project, I see it in the COM tab - but in the location it was developed in, and I receive the following error: Converting the type library to a .Net assembly failed. Type library mydllname was exported from a CLR assembly and cannot be re-imported as a CLR assembly.

Creating A Class And Referencing It

Feb 20, 2009

how to create a class yet, and I think I need to learn how.I am wanting to shorten my code in a form, thinking of creating several classes to do so.Lets use a Listview as a reference if you dont mind.Say there is a listview, you have a numeral amount of if statments to fill by. Is there a way to create a class(is this the way to go) so that you can open the class to modify that specific block of code? Example of questionYou have multiple items you need to add for each if statement. Animal as a group Dog as an item 14 years as a sub item Cat as an item 11 years as a sub itemIs this the way to go, if so how do you create a class and call it from a form?Davids Learning
