I have just finished my application and am stuck as to how I'm going to store my data. As it stands I have multiple objects that I created but each of them take multiple ArrayLists as properties. I'm aware that this will give problems if I try to serialize my data?
View 4 RepliesI 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.
What I am doing is iterating through all the groups that belong to the top group (Generic reports). Then I take advantage of the GroupPrincipal.GetMembers(True) which will recurse through a given group name. I test to see if the user exits under that group and if true I put the group name in an arraylist.
I use the for each principal in GroupPrincipal.GetMembers to loop through each returned user to see if they exist.
Is there a way to put all the returned users Principal.Name from a given group in GroupPrincipal.GetMembers into an ArrayList? This would allow me to to use Arraylist1.IndexOf to search for user. Which would be much faster then iterating through a returned list using the for each construct.
Sub RetAllMbrs(strUser As String)
Dim oPC As PrincipalContext = GetPrincipalContext() '<- this is function somewhere else in the code

I want to change ListBox1 with ArrayList. But I couldn't find how to use adding a string to ArrayList in tread.
I have an arraylist (arrFirstArry) which I use to populate another arraylist (arrNoDuplicates) preventing any duplicates from being added. This works fine. What I would also like my code to do is prevent adding any partial values which may exist from being added. i.e. my array is like this

I have two structures Public Structure myResearchData
Public batchName As String
Public arraylistRData As ArrayList
End Structure

Cleared MyResearchData.arraylistRData for new data to be put in but it also clears the arraylist inside MyResearchDataAList and didn't old the contents of the arraylist
What I need to do is read an ArrayList in My.Settings and add another ArrayList to it. The first think I'm trying to do is load My.Settings.Records into myArrayList. I'm not quite sure on the proper way to do this. I've tried things such as Dim myArrayList As ArrayList = My.Settings.Records, I'm not sure if I need New and I'm not sure if I need .Clone or .CopyTo.
Then I have another ArrayList myArrayList2. To get this into myArrayList I've done: [Code] Then to save it back to My.Settings I've done. My.Settings.Records = myArrayList. The problem is I keep on getting Object reference not set to an instance of an object error on the AddRange line. My.Settings.Records is definitely an ArrayList and it will sometimes = Nothing. The objects will only ever be strings.
I want to create an array of an array (or arraylist of an arraylist) to hold strings.I want to fill an array1 with string values Then add this array to array2. - but only taking up 1 row in array2 e.g something like array2(index)=array1 Then clear array1 then loop through this again with different data, and add it to the array2.so will end up with something like
array2(0)... contains a collection of array1 data
array2(1)... contains a collection of different array1 data
.. and so on
i think i need to make new instances of array1 each loop, but not sure.I dont mind if it uses arrays, or arraylists, or lists, or structure of arrayslists?
I'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?
View 2 RepliesI have a class that I want to be serializable but contains a public instance of delegate that, apparently can't be serialized: [Code] Is there a way to make it serializable however?
View 4 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?

I'm using BinaryFormatter class to serialize an structure or a class. (after serialization, I'm going to encrypt the serialized file before saving. (And of course decrypt it before deserialization))But I heard that some other serialization classes are present in .Net Framework. 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.

s there a difference between the arraylist in visual basic and arraylist in C#? I had to convert some C# code to VB and there is a call I make in a third party api that requires me to pass in an arraylist. When I do this in C# it works just fine, but when I do this in VB, I just get back a vaque exception from the api.
[Code]...
The exception I get is very vague and comes from the API. All i get is, "ARException Occured".
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 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]

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 use a Web Service to return Json for a Collection of Users from a Database Table. I'm only new to .NET (< 1 week experience), and I don't want to use the UpdatePanel for AJAX. I have tried using the JavaScriptSerializer as well as Json.NET to serialize. Both cases seem to spawn an Infinite Loop.[code]
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.
