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 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).

I am trying to create a load and save function for my customizable Menu/Tool/StatusStrip controls (see signature). Those three controls use a single AppearanceControl class, which is mainly just a large list of properties (Colors) which control the colors of the Menu/Tool/StatusStrip.
I want to be able to save and load the values of these properties so the user can store them and load others with ease. Serialization seemed the obvious answer, although I never used it before.
Now, there is a slight problem that I cannot serialize Colors, so I simply gave each Color property the XmlIgnore attribute, and created an Integer property that gets and sets the Color property (using Color.ToArgb and Color.FromArgb). This way I can serialize the color properties succesfully.
Then, there is another problem. The properties are not all in the AppearanceControl class. Instead, the AppearanceControl class has a large number of subclasses, which in turn contain the color properties.
As a small example, I may have this:
vb.net
Public Class AppearanceControl
Private _toolStripColorProperties As ToolStripColorProperties
Private _menuStripColorProperties As MenuStripColorProperties

I have a Problem Serializing and Deserializing a 2-Dimensional Array. I have a 5x5 Integer Array and want it to format it into one String (like Base64) to store it as an Attribute in a XML-File.
To store it i use this code:
CODE:
To Read and Format it i tried following :

But Deserialize only Returns an Integer not an Array. How i can Deserialize an complete Array ?
I'm developing a program that captures a bunch of information entered by a user on a tab form into five different structured arrays. I want the data to be saved into a single file and reloaded by the program into a similarly built series of structured arrays through a different form.If I understand the process of serializing collections right, I create a single ArrayList variable to capture each of the five Structured arrays.[code]
1. Do I have to declare one variable of the same type as the one in the first element of the ArrayList, or does having the public variable declared in the Class that's going to take this information already cover that?
2. Once I deserialize into the newly declared Rules ArrayList in the new form, is it a simple matter of setting the duplicated variables in the new form equal to the relevant element in the ArrayList? For example, if I have a new Public Roster As RosterDesc variable declared, can I set it equal to Rules(0) and it would automatically populate every element in the same order as they were created in the original form?
I've come up with the following and it's partly working.
Public serial1, serial2, serial3, serial4, serial5 As SerialPort
Public serialports() As Object = New Object() {serial1, serial2, serial3, serial4, serial5}
dComPort = "COM4"[code]....
The above code works fine! But im having trouble trying to now retreive whats stored in the array.In the above example, an entry will be stored in serialports(4), all other array elements will be blank.If I do this it works.
MsgBox(serialports(4).PortName) ' this retuns the value COM4
But I'd like to loop though all array elements and print out ALL the PortNames, The below code doesnt work, I get an error Object variable or With block variable not set.
For i = 0 To serialports.Length - 1
MsgBox(serialports(i).portname)

I have a nested class, let's call it class1 and it has class2 inside it; VB.Net eg:[code]
1) How can I define X number of Class2 objects[let's call it: Node(x) array]** with NEW() subroutine called?' this raises error: dim cls2(n) as new class2 end sub.
2) How can I return actual number of Node() array? [code]Outside my class in main project I define cls1 object:[code]Now an array of class2 is created inside cls1.
3) Now,How can I access All of them[node(x) array which is created inside cls1] with all properties and methods available?
I remember I wrote a ProcessManager class with this functionality in .net 2003, nearly 4 years age, I don't have the code now.
ok first off my over all goal is to create a simple database program. I need to have an index file that i can search and then load the item data from a path refferenced from the index file. So i was thinking that if I have a IndexClass object, that has the following varribles: name as string, Desc as sting, and ImagePath as String.

I'm having a problem at the moment developing my application. What i need to do is find out how many modems they are connected to my system and send data to each one in turn. I have the programme working for one modem at the moment.
So I can send data to a modem that i specify, for example a modem on COM port 1. I have functions already that will give me a list of COM ports that I need to open.My problem is that i want to dynamically create a new modem object along side existing modems and store them in a collection.

I've been wasting so much time on this. Basically I want to have a list of objects and I want to call some specific methods of some specific bjects..g.MsgBox(Instances(0).Position(0).ToString)It should alert a number that presents the X position, but it is not working... the box does not even appear and no errors.
View 8 RepliesI am having a problem with objects and arrays of objects. Basically obj_stored holds how many objects I have stored in my text file, in this case t shirts. line(y) is an array that holds each line that has been read from the text file. I then use this to assign values to my array objects properties. For example I know the first line is the color of the first t shirt, second size, third price etc. Then I know the next line will be the color of a new t shirt. There are 6 t shirts in the file.
Dim t_shirt(5) As Clothing.t_shirt
Dim t_shirt_purchased As New Clothing.t_shirt
For x = 0 To obj_stored
t_shirt(x) = Clothing
t_shirt(x).color = line(y)
y = y + 1
t_shirt(x).size = line(y)
y = y + 1
t_shirt(x).price = line(y)
y = y + 1
Next
MsgBox (t_shirt(4).size)
My problem is it seems to be resetting these values after it has finished. Im creating the object each time and assigning values to it's properties but when it's finished it all resets and says 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object'. I'm new to OOP and was wondering what sort of approach i would take to doing this, if the one i am taking is wrong.
So I am aiming to:
Read everything in from the text file.
Create new instances of the objects depending on how many t shirts are stored, (5 t shirts = 5 objects)
Assign the values to my objects properties.

Migrating from VB6, a control array of flexgrid objects. Obviously flexgrid is not supported by VB.NET, so DataGridView objects have to be used instead. I tried this alternative to placing them in a list.
I have two DataGridView objects which share a lot of code as well as event handlers. They are named D1 and D2 and many properties, such as column headeders etc., are set at define time. The control array is simulated by passing the "index" and selected grid as parameters in subroutines. For example, the routine to fill the grids, is as follows.

I need to create an array of a class type. Populate the values in the class and then pass the array to a subroutine. I havent figured out how to do this properly as I get a null reference exception.

I am running into a simple issue for which I cannot find an effective solution.
I need to convert 2 D array of objects to 1D String.
Dim saRet(,) As Object = Nothing Dim fileLineArray() As String = Nothing
SaRet = xlrange.Value //it gets values assigned as objects
In a loop....
fileLineArray(i) = Cstr(SaRet(i,0))
I get the error, index was out of bound. ToString isnt able to convert 2d array of objects to 1 D.

View 1 RepliesI have a small class of Object CellValue
Friend Class CellValue
Public CellColor As Color = Color.White
Public CellShape As Shape = Shape.Blank
Public CellName As String = ""
End Class
Then in my main I make an array of CellValue but I want to know if the values are also being passed down with the array.
Dim Plan(SizeW - 1, SizeH - 1) As CellValue
Dim CellW As Integer = PictureBox1.Width \ SizeW
Dim CellH As Integer = PictureBox1.Height \ SizeH
[Code].....
Are CellName, CellShape and CellColor being tied to each element in the array?. The reason is because I need to use these properties to tie certain functions to them. The CellName should have a MachineID which I would have to use to pull some info from a Database.
The Array should also be serialized and deserialized to XML as customer needs to create/edit and delete certain values in the array. And in order to save the array has to be in XML
So the Questions are does it save the CellName, CellShape and CellColor for each element, will it be affected if I serialize and deserialize using XML. If possible, how can I call up the Cellname p.e for a specific array element.
