VS 2010 Custom Type Array / List With Adding Items And Specifying Custom Type Variable
Jun 21, 2011I recently downloaded VB 2010 Express so i am quite new to the language, but i have worked with dark basic, which seems to b very similar.Anyway, my problem is that i cannot seem to correctly set out my array of a custom type/class. i am trying to create two arrays, one of available entities and another of selected entities of which the user selects the entities to be dealt with in irrelevant ways. i have creates a button (called test) which adds some entities to the available list and all the entities come back the same value but they shouldnt be as you'll c in the code. i have run the step into command a found that "available.item(#).Name = " will change all of the entity's names.As of current i am working with lists as the array kept asking for a 'new' statement but i couldnt figure out where to put it.[code]
View 7 RepliesGetting Data About Your Audio Files (And Not Using Metadata)?
Jun 10, 2011Early on the OP was asked "how will you get the data about your music?" and it went into a whole other direction, but that's what I'm here to show: Another way to get the data about your music without dependence on the metadata.The music that I have has fairly extensive tags embedded but as I've discovered, that's not the case with all of them. It's a good starting point I suppose but is there another way? Let me jump to the end, then in the next several posts, we'll dissect the parts of it. My goal was use "only out of the components and methods" and this is what we end up with: Aside from the rudimentary things like song duration, how about if we could get a host of information about the songs, including the cover art? As shown in the example above, some also will have a link to additional information. The additional information may even contain a way to watch a music video for that song like this: Further, some will even contain what I call "Liner Notes" like this:
If this interests you, read on ...This isn't a new thought at all; I've explored this area before. Have a look at this on Code Project. Now before you go thinking that you've found the keys to the kingdom, I should explain a little minor issue about that - it doesn't work! In that, he relies heavily on three web services: Amazon Web Service MusicBrainz LyricWiki Amazon has significantly modified their service such that his methods don't work now. If you follow the posts following the thread, you'll see a few people have tried workarounds but over the years, even those stopped working because apparently they (Amazon) are in a state of flux regarding their API. LyricWiki is still alive and well, but - the music recording industry forced them to no longer offer their service to developers. MusicBrainz is in fact a heck of a resource and if you're at all interested in this topic, I would encourage you to have a look around. It's odd to work with, but it's chock full of good information and they're constantly adding to it or so it seems. All that said, this example won't use any of those but rather a different service all together: Last Dot FM. I can't say that I know much about them, but I happened onto them a few months back when I was first experimenting with all this stuff.
VS 2010 - Retrieving Metadata Of Individual Files
Oct 6, 2011I'm using VS2010 Express. I have a VB.net project, where I need to find the metadata of individual files; Artist, Author, Comments, etc. (Specifically I need to find the video length in time of .wtv files). I have searched, but could only find VB6 examples and other code snippets that simply didn't work as they required some retired com or dll to do it. How do I do it in the latest VB.net? NOT VB6, C# or anything else. VB.Net in Visual Studio 2010 Express.

When Click On A File The Bottom Pane Shows The Files Metadata
Apr 19, 2010In windows explorer on Windows 7 (and Vista I believe), when you click on a file the bottom pane shows the files metadata. What I am particularly interested is the files Tag. If you click into the tag field, Windows will give you a list of tags. The list appears to be random and incomplete. So I have two questions. Is there a way to retrieve a list of a file tags on the system and is there a way to add to the list of tags in the Windows file pane?

Custom Type Cannot Be Cast To Custom Type And Losing Will To Live
Jun 10, 2010I have been trying to solve a problem related to using RolesProviders in MVC.Basically I would like to an additional set of criteria to the roles table so that a user can switch roles based on what they are doing on the site.However as simple as it may sound its proving to be a nightmare. I cannot for love nor money come up with a solution. I have tried overloading the provider, creating extension methods (which never work with the Roles class) but finally I decided to simply create a reference to my own custom provider and just completely bypass the whole User, Roles class.Now I am getting a ridiculous error which states that I cannot cast MyProvider class to an instance of MyProvider class? All I am doing is calling the Roles.Provider method and casting its return value to my custom provider class (which inherits from RolesProvider). The asp.net forums are a waste of time since no one ever answers the questions and there are simply no examples of extending the Roles/Membership model without using SQL server.

View 1 RepliesXML Schema As Custom Data Type?
Nov 17, 2010I'm building a vb.net application that composes messages for later message queueing in accordance with a predefined schema that an observer of the message queue requires.I've made the XSD file for the schema already, but I was wondering if there was any way to import the schema as or convert it to a custom object type in my .net application, where the elements of the schema would represent data fields or sub-objects to be filled programmatically.
Is there any way to do this?Am I getting my terminology correct here, or would there be a better way to accomplish what I'm attempting to do?I'd like to be able to create a schema and use it as a definition for some kind of data transfer object in my applications, without having to make the object as a separate VB class file.
.net - Custom Attribute Parameter Of System.Type?
Feb 19, 2012I'd like to auto-register the common/simple services in my unity container. I think the cleanest way to do this would be via a custom atribute.I can then examine all the (abstract) classes in an assembly and register those types with unity.The piece of information I'm missing is the interface(s) that the class wants to be registered against
eg:
Public Class AutoRegisterAttribute
Public Property ForInterface As System.Type
Public Sub New(ForInterface As System.Type)
[code]....
Note, I don't just want to find any class it implements as shown with IDisposableI've tried doing this using generics (generics can't inherit from Attribute), with a Type Parameter (Passing in IEngine.GetType results in a "Constant expression is required")

Bound To A List Object Of A Custom Type Via A BindingSource?
Nov 11, 2010I have a datagridview that is bound to a list object of a custom type via a BindingSource. From everything I've read, I should be able to click the column headers and the rows sort, This doesn't happen for me. Sortmode is set to automatic and the column headers aren't set to be used for selection so it should work.
I know that I could sort progamatticly but that seems a little bit of a waste given that I should just be able to do it by default.
Get Notified When List Of Custom Type Property Changed?
Mar 2, 2011I have a class and one of the properties is a list of a custom class. The caller gets the list and is adding instances of class to the list. How do I get notified that the list has been updated?
Private _list as List(of MyType)
Private _totalField1 as Integer
Public Property MyTypeList As List(Of MyType)
Get
Return _list
End Get
Set(ByVal value As List(Of MyType))
_list= value
_totalField1 = _list.Sum(Function(x) x.Field1)
End Set
End Property
What I'm trying to do is every time a MyType object is added to the list keep a running total of Field1, but adding to the list doesn't use the setter. How can I know when the list has been added or changed?
