Retrieving An Instance Of An Object By Using A String Representation Of The Objects Name?
Aug 7, 2009
I want to retrieve an object by using a string representation of the objects name. For example lets say i want to change the font of 3 labels on a form programatically. Instead of changing the font property for each individual label like so:
Label1.Font = FontDialog1.Font
Label2.Font = FontDialog1.Font
Label3.Font = FontDialog1.Font
I want iterate through the labels in a For..next loop like so:

I want to make a hashtable of object references and I want a different object's reference to be the key. How can I do this in vb.net? In java (assuming I am using the default toString method and that add() takes a string as a key and an object ref as the value) this would be something like: hashtable.add(obj1.toString(), obj2)
I do not want to use a vb.net gethashcode() function because I want deep clones of objects to have different identifiers. A related question is what is the default toString in vb.net? How can I get a string that represents an object reference in vb.net?

I am trying to log the contents of an object to a text file. If I do a debug.print of the object itself in the immediate window, it prints all of the values of the object's properties:
?mDb.DatabaseOptions
{Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.DatabaseOptions}
AnsiNullDefault: False
...
UserData: Nothing
However, I can't seem to access this as a string in code due to a type mismatch. I assumed I could get this information using the .ToString method, but all that returns is the object description with none of the properties or values:
?mDb.DatabaseOptions.ToString
"Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.DatabaseOptions"

I am using the IndexOf function of the string class to find a specific instance of a string. And based on that I have a logic to do something. Below is the example of what I am doing. The code is in production and is working fine. But for some instance I am getting an "Object reference not set error". Yeah its intermittent.The requestXML is a string of xml data passed in as a paramter to a subroutine. I am fetching the xml string as a form post in a request object. The only thing I could think of getting this kind of error is when the requestXML string varia
requestXml = Request("requestXML")
SubmitRequest(requestXml)
Private
Sub SubmitRequest(ByVal requestXml

This is something that has been bugging me for a while as it is easily fixed but not desirable.I have a DataGridView that has 5 columns. The first is called ID.In vb.net the following line gives an error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object": dgvJobs.Columns("ID").Visible = False ' ERROR dgvJobs.Columns(0).Visible = False ' OK
Obviously using the name is much better than a hard coded value to reference the column but wondering if there is anything i can do to get this to work correctly?The datagridview datasource is BindingSource control with the datasource being a dataset.

Not sure exactly what I need to do to make this work, so my description may be lacking at first.Essentially I am writing a program launcher that recreates itself each time on load. It pulls the data regarding the tabs and buttons from an SQLite database and builds itself dynamically at run time. I get my problem when I pass the tab name through to the function that creates the buttons. I need the name to pull the right set of buttons from the database and I then tried to use the name to place the buttons on the right tab when I create them, but the debugger calls it a null reference because it doesn't point correctly to the tabpage that I'm trying to make it point to (at least that is what I'm guessing). Any ideas on how to make this work right?

I don't know if I explained this in my title, this is what i want to do. (In VB on a active server page) I have 5 buttons called but1.....but2. Right now I have the following code to make them invisible
but1.Visible=false;
but2.Visible=false;
but3.Visible=false;
but4.Visible=false;
but5.Visible=false,
Is there a way to access the objects by using a string, example
for(i=i;i<6;i++
items("but"+str(i)).visible=false

I am trying to convert a string to a single. Ive tried csng() directcast() and single.parse. The first two methods crash. Single.parse says input string was in incorrect format. The number is 777.7932 so should convert fine. Ive tried it this way:
'x = single.parse(pts(0), globalization.NumberStyles.AllowDecimalPoint)
how can i convert a string representation of a single data type that is read from a text file into its single data type. I checked control panel and globalization settings are set to english.

<edit> Now showing the difference as a DECIMAL. Result looks like zero every time. </edit>Disclaimer: This code is provided "as-is" and should be treated as Freeware.( However any donations would be welcome as I have a "so-so" part-time job ).Please note all real numbers to be used should be in this format
"0.000000000000"Do not use numbers in string format in scientific notation like "1.2345E -06"I was feeling bored and decided to add to the code from JohnWein in this thread where I have used a routine that will multiply the contents of two long strings together.>>[url]I have now added a bit of code so you can multiply two really long numbers with or without a decimal point as a full-stop ( period or dot, call it what you like ).

So I'm building an application that is going to do a ton of code generation with both C# and VB output (depending on project settings). I've got a CodeTemplateEngine, with two derived classes VBTemplateEngine and CSharpTemplateEngine. This question regards creating the property signatures based on columns in a database table. Using the IDataReader's GetSchemaTable method I gather the CLR type of the column, such as "System.Int32", and whether it IsNullable. However, I'd like to keep the code simple, and instead of having a property that looks like:

I'm stuck on a problem that I haven't been able solve. I'm making a visual basic program that communicates with an SQL-database. The problem emerged when I tried to retrieve data from the database with the help of SqlDataReader and save data from every row to a list (Customer) with the help of Add-method. It turned out that eventually the list had correct number of objects, but the information was the very same in each object of the list.

I'm trying to set the format of a column in a datagridview.When I put the format statement in the on load event for the form, it has no effect. When I put it in the cellformatting event I get the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error. I checked the column name. What I am doing wrong?
This is the code:Private Sub MeetingTblDataGridView_CellFormatting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs) Handles MeetingTblDataGridView.CellFormatting
Me.MeetingTblDataGridView.Columns("Starttime").DefaultCellStyle.Format = "HH:mm:ss"
End Sub What I'm trying to do is get rid of the date part of a Date/Time field (stored in an Access database) in a datagridview column.
