I am sending XML externally. One of the node called "datafield" has an element called "value". This may contain normal text content, or an html content (which I need to wrap in CData). So, I created a base class (ProvisionDataField) with 2 classes inherits from it (ProvisionTextField, and ProvisionCDataField) as follows:[code]
View 3 RepliesI'm not positive I'm going about this the right way. I've got a suite of applications that have varying types of output (custom defined types).For example, I might have a type called Widget:
Class Widget
Public name as String
End Class
Throughout the course of operation, when a user experiences a certain condition, the application will take that output instance of widget that user received, serialize it, and log it to the database noting the name of the type.
Now, I have other applications that do something similar, but instead of dealing with Widget, it could be some totally random other type with different attributes, but again I serialize the instance, log it to the db, and note the name of the type. I have maybe a half dozen different types and don't anticipate too many additional ones in the future.
After all this is said and done, I have an admin interface that looks through these logs, and has the ability for the user to view the contents of this data thats been logged. The Admin app has a reference to all the types involved, and with some basic switch case logic hinged upon the name of the type, will cast it into their original types, and pass it on to some handlers that have basic display logic to spit the data back out in a readable format (one display handler for each type)NOW... all this is well and good...Until one day, my model changed. The Widget class now has deprecated the name attribute and added on a bunch of other attributes. I will of course get type mismatches in the admin side when I try to reconstitute this data.
I was wondering if there was some way, at runtime, i could perhaps reflect through my code and get a snapshot of the type definition at that precise moment, serialize it, and store it along with the data so that I could somehow use this to reconstitute it in the future?
it works perfectly.

I'm having a real problem with serializing data. I understand that its designed to basically copy the structure and data of a structure. In my case, I have the state of a DVD that i would like to save (persist) to disk. [Code] error: 'Error Generating XML', Inner Exception: "Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.ComObject' to class type 'DirectShowLib.DVDState'.
COM components that enter the CLR and do not support IProvideClassInfo or that do not have any interop assembly registered will be wrapped in the ComObject type. Instances of this type cannot be cast to any other class; however they can be cast to interfaces as long as the underlying COM component supports QueryInterface calls for the IID of the interface."
In a vb .net winforms app I am trying out something for "wide and shallow" children of a record. I use strongly typed business objects ( Strataframe ).My plan is to have a number of "child tables" collected in a dataset I drop on the form. they have no correspondence in persisted data, so the dataset is untyped and I am creating the schema through the property sheet for the tables. Each table is the datasource for a datagridview in the interface.
In my proof of concept sample, My main businessobject (CustomerBO) interacts with a SQL Server 2008 table with fields - pk, name, - and a third column which is currently varchar(max) as I considered XML but could just as easily be varbinary(max) if that works better for holding the serialized dataset.
bo.bigfield will be the strongly typed prop I want to hold the byte() array or XML or whatever that represents the dataset for that record.So, the question in a nutshell - how do I convert a dataset to a single datum and reproduce the dataset from that datum. This is my first foray into datasets, datagridviews as well so if there are better ways to accomplish any of that I'm listening.
I created a windows form which contains a datagridview. I named one of the columns in the grid 'location' which appears to have generated an error. The problem is I cannot load the form to remove the column as an error is generated and when I load the designer code it says do not modify with the code editor but use the windows form designer.

I'm returning a list of database records;
Dim rsPublicChilds As System.Data.Linq.ISingleResult(Of spGetPublicObjectsResult) = Nothing
rsPublicChilds = dc.spGetPublicObject(slintLoginID, lintLanguageID, lintObjectID, lintObjectTypeID, lstrSEOURL, lstrValid)
I get an enumerable list of rsPublicChildObjects that I then convert to an array;
Dim larr_PublicChild As IEnumerable(Of spGetPublicObjectsResult) = rsPublicChilds.toArray()
That then gives me easy access to an array of the objects, so I can then do;
larr_publicchild(0).colMyValue
etc.etc
I'd like to get the minimum value of colMyValue (or any other property of the object that's been created for me) but I can't quite see how to get there.
I am having problems with serializing and de serializing my objects.The following is my code for serializing buttons and labels which I have in my form.
Dim nodes As New List(Of nodeclass)
Dim objStreamWriter As New StreamWriter(filelocation)
For Each btn As Button In myNodeBtns
Dim u As New nodeclass
[code].....
I get an error: There is an error in XML document (20, 3).Now I have found out that this is because I have 2 root elements and 2 xml declerations. When I save the xml for the button and te xml for the label in 2 different files, I have no problem. However I have no idea how to go about saving the xml for both of them in the same file and deserializing it back.
I am setting up a game for my final visual basic program in my computer programming class, and it is supposed to compare what you type into a textbox to a randomly generated password, and then return whether the last character you entered had a higher, lower or the exact same ascii value as the corresponding character in the randomly generated password. Well, in order to test it, I set up labels to compare the two characters... when you type in ALT + 125, the ascii value returns 125, as it should, and it says that the ascii value of the correct character is 142. I typed in ALT + 142, and the character's ascii value, according to what the label puts out, is 196... obviously its converting dec into hex or oct or something... but how do I fix it?I can also tell you that when I typed in 196 to see if it was reversed or something stupid like that, it printed that the ascii value was 49... what's up with that?!
View 4 RepliesAccording to the General Naming Conventions the usage of CLR type names (e.g. String, Int16) should be preferred over the usage of language specific type names (string, short). I usually follow this advice. Resharper however seems to use the language specific type names when generating code (eg. when extracting methods or generating foreach loops) which is very annoying.

View 4 RepliesI'm trying out MVVM in VB.Net for a while now and started out with some of my entities using List(of T)s, which I xml serialized to disk. Now, I updated the classes used by the Lists to implement INotifyPropertyChanged so I also changed the List(of T)s to ObservableCollection(of T)s.After which, the XML serializer stopped working :'( A colleague told me that ObservableCollections, unlike generic Lists, are not serializable.If so then how can I make them Serializable?

I'm using BinaryFormatter class to serialize an structure or a class. (after serialization, I'm going to encrypt the serialized file before saving.

Like XmlSerializer, JavaScriptSerializer, DataContractSerializer and protobuf-net.I want to know, which one is best for me?Less RAM space needed for serialize/deserialize is the most important thing for me. Also speed is important.

I've been reading up on this whole subject, but I never came across this specific problem. I already understand that the whole idea of serializing an entire form is a horrible idea and just doesn't work. But, I am encountering a bit of a different problem. I have a class that inherits the "button" form object, that I call DataButton.
Now for my problem. I want to be able to serialize this class, but I don't need any of the information from the actual button class. Is there any way to bypass the fact that I can't set the button form object to Serializable() and notify VB that when serialization is to occur, it should simply skip over that information? Theoretically, if such a procedure were possible, I'd be able to do the entire serialization without a hitch.
I came up with the idea earlier of removing the "inherits" feature from the class, and having simply a button within the class, but that makes my program really difficult to work with as I am constantly changing the location, size, backgroundImage, text, and whatnot. Thus, immediate updates would be much tougher to work with.
Often it is very usefull to save data as a class by serialize and compress it. From few experiments I have noticed that
Class A
Public name as string
Public List as new list(of string) <---- empty
End Class
Class B
Public name as string
Public List as list(of string) <----- not instantiated
End Class
If I serialize and compress the 2 classes the class B uses less spaces once serialized and compressed. This suggests me that if a class contains a list that is instantiated but empty it is better to set that to nothing and reset as new when it is decompressed and deserialized. Is there any dll that optimizes a class to be stored (serialized and compressed) and restore it when it is decompressed and deserialized?

I am in the process of writing a base class for gadgets that will be displayed on a form.I want the gadget to be fully self contained and reusable.At this point it does everything that I need it to do EXCEPT, i'm having trouble figuring out a creative way to serialize my objects using only one object.I have a feeling the answer lies somewhere within the context of using shared functions but I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around it.
View 1 RepliesI apologise if this thread has been posted in the wrong section I was not certain whether it was the serialization or the networking that was causing this problem, but I feel that it is likely that it is the serialization.I am currently building two applications a client and a server, where several objects have to be sent between the applications, a couple objects each way.The applications are called "ACME Server" and "ACME Client" (yay for originality).
While I can get the first object to be transferred from the client to the server, but I can't get the second object to be transferred successfully from the server to the client, the error is occurring in the client program, I have taken a printscreen of the error that I am receiving, which I have uploaded to [URL]..All objects that are being sent are serializable (well there is an Interface called Action which I am unable to make serializable I believe due to it being an Interface).

View 1 RepliesSurprised this question has not been asked yet here, but here goes: Serialization in VB.NET is a bit of a pain. If you use the standard Serializable() attribute, and attempt to serialize a class that has events which are attached to handlers, it will attempt to serialize the handlers as well. Coming from a C# background I am not used to dealing with this problem, and the best solution I can find is using a class off of CodeProject.
