I'm using a 3rd party software to bind my control properties to server data. The call to bind the data needs the control and the name of the property as a string. For example... BindData(mytextbox, "Text", DataToBind) Some of the properties I am binding to are custom properties of a UserControl I am building, and as development goes, the property names sometimes change. Currently I have to hardcode the property names and if I change the property name, even though the IDE makes the change in all of the property references, I still have to go back and change the name in a dozen or so places. I would like to do the following....

I have a function that updates a Client in the database. A client object is passed in, along with a string array of fields/properties that should be updated. I need a way of accessing each property in the client object, based on what is in the array. Basically, I am looking for the VB .NET equivalent to this javascript:
var fields = ["Firstname","Lastname","DOB"];
for(field in fields)

In my EF4 EntityModel I have an entity named Users. Users have the common UserName and Password string fields. If I do something like this
Dim u as new USERS
U.UserName = String.Empty
Then U.UserName are still Nothing.
But if I Do Something like this
Dim u as new USERS
u.UserName = "A"
u.UserName = String.Empty
Then U.UserName take String.Empty as value without problem.
The reason is the way that EF4 generate the UserName Property
Public Property UserName() As Global.System.String
Get
Return _UserName
End Get

I do not want to make two assignations every time I want to set string.empty to a property with a nothing value, and I do not want to remember that I must do it in this way everytime, because I'm pretty sure that I will forget it and then I will introduce bugs in the code. I just want to assign the empty.string value to a property and the property take "" as value.
Say I wanna bind to dictionary that TKey is string with XAML:<Label DataContext="{MyDictionary}" Content="{Binding Item("OK")}" />Doesn't work.How should I do it?
View 1 RepliesI've created some classes that will be used to provide data to stored procedures in my database. The varchar parameters in the stored procs have length specifications (e.g. varchar(6) and I'd like to validate the length of all string properties before passing them on to the stored procedures.
Is there a simple, declarative way to do this?
I have two conceptual ideas so far:

This seems like a lot of work and will really make my currently-simple classes look pretty ugly, but I suppose it will get the job done. It will also take a lot of copying and pasting to get this right.
I'm setting up a simple helper class to hold some data from a file I'm parsing. The names of the properties match the names of values that I expect to find in the file. I'd like to add a method called AddPropertyValue to my class so that I can assign a value to a property without explicitly calling it by name.The method would look like this:
//C#
public void AddPropertyValue(string propertyName, string propertyValue) {
//code to assign the property value based on propertyName
}
'VB.NET'
[Code]...
Is this possible without having to test for each individual property name against the supplied propertyName?
We have an object with properties, and a a SQL database we're reading in, to create a list of objects, with columns corresponding to each property.if a column is missing from the database (e.g. caused by an outdated version of the database), we want to assign a default value to it.I've created a dictionary, mapping the column name to its default value (both strings).However, I was wondering if it was possibly to somehow convert the column name (string) to an object property (e.g. the string "name" to AnObject.name?), as the property and column name are generally the same.I tried to use GetType().GetPropert("column name"), but I can't seem to do assignments through that)Alternately, is it possible to somehow create a dictionary, storing the object property as the key (and the column name and default value in a struct), and then grabbing it after.?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to make an app that interfaces with Salesforce. Now within salesforce you can customize your database to have any tables or fields that you want/need What I am trying to do is once I do my query, salesforce has your query results returned as a salesforce object. My app basically manages info in salesforce based on rules, sometimes people may need to customize those rules based on fields in the database, however because I dont know what kinds of fields are in their particular database I need to do it programatically...
SO what I want to do is reference the objects property via a string text property name... i.e. if they use a field called "IsFromLebanon" as a boolean I want to be able to access QueryResult.IsFromLebanon. but since I dont know if that field exists or not I dont know how to access its property without spelling out each time. I know clearly thats not going to work, but I dont know how to access the property name without KNOWING the property is going to be there, does that make sense? I dont know if I am making sense or not, it makes perfect sense in my head
I have created a new class with a string property called "Text".
The property will hold a sentence typed by the user.
I use "KeyPress" event to get the character pressed and use "Console.Text = Console.Text & e.KeyChar" to update the property. Where console is an instance of the class.
The problem is when I press "Delete" nothing happen.
That's the code within the event scope
MsgBox(Asc(e.KeyChar))
Console.Text = Console.Text & e.KeyChar
MsgBox(Console.Text)
I'm having some very weird issues with interfaces right now.
I have a very simple setup. In one of my class, I have a Property implementing a Property from an Interface.
In my class it's like:

Set(value As IForm)

I have like dozens of interfaces like this working throughout my project and I can't believe this simple one can't work!

I'm using FileHelper to generate object's property. Here is an example of one property:
<FieldOptional(), _
FieldTrim(TrimMode.Both)> _
<FieldNullValue(GetType(String), " ")> _
Public StoreNo As String
As you can see the StoreNo will either have a value or " ", one of the business policy is to check if the StoreNo is empty or nothing if the object's StoreNo is empty or null then the record will not create.
I though about creating an HasValue Function in the class to check the StoreNo and other properties in the object but I feel like it is a hack.
Public Function HasValue() As Boolean
Dim _HasValue As Boolean = True
If StringHelper.IsNullOrBlank(Me.StoreNo) Then

I don't think this approach is an ideal solution. what if the StoreNo is remove or change to something else. What's the best approach to check object's property?

I am not so good at VB.NET, well, I am working with a school to run a Spelling Bee aimed at children in year 7. And to make it fair and unbiased i need an application that can choose randomise a word from the list box then transfer the string to the text box. So basically something that can pick a random string from the listbox and show it in the textbox1.text property.
View 4 Replieswhy the rowfilter property does not work if there is an apostrophe in present in the string. For e.g. , tempdat.DefaultView.RowFilter = "Mystring = '" & st & "'" the above does not work if st="mystrings's" under the column header Mystring.
View 3 RepliesSo I've run into a case where I have a class that can store either a string or a numeric value, and I want a single property to return one or the other (it would be a failure for both to be set). I'm using a custom generic class to deal with the numerics (so I can use signed, unsigned, and nullables), and will be storing the string in a separate variable.
In theory, if overloading could be done based on the return type, I could do this quite easily. But .NET currently disallows this. So I am wondering if there is some other really-far-out-there trick (outside of MSIL generation via Reflection.Emit) that could accomplish the same thing.
I'm open to ideas via delegates, pointer dereferencing, generics, mystical rites, etc. Also interested in any thoughts or pros/cons of such possibilities as a learning tool. If using a standard Object is the only way to achieve what I want, then that's fine with me. But It's difficult to find the correct set of keywords to hunt down this kind of capability on Google, so I thought I'd ask here before I moved on to doing something else on the project.
I'm writing a custom control and I want to add a "MessageText" property of type String:
<Browsable(True),
DefaultValue(""),
Category("CustomControls"),
[code]....
The MessageText property is a multiline text, and the user must be able to set the text using the designer. The problem is that the designer doesn't allow to enter a newline directly for a string property.I want the same behaviour as the system TextBox's Text property, where you can click on the down arrow and write lines in the small text-editor that appears:How do I do that?
I have a problem involving late binding, and I absolutely cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix it. I have spent hours researching the problem to no avail, so I am turning to stackoverflow as a last resort.The problem is pretty much this: I am creating a grocery list application. I have a class named Item which stores the name, price, quantity, and description of an item on the grocery list. I have a module named ListCollection which defines a Collection of Item objects. I have created an Edit form which will automatically display the currently selected ListCollection item properties, but whenever I attempt to fill the text boxes, it tells me that Option Strict disallows late binding. I COULD take the easy route and disable Option Strict, but I'd prefer to figure out what the problem is so I know for future reference.I shall paste pertinent code here. (Late binding error is in EditItem.vb)
[code]...
I have tried declaring a String variable and assigning the Item property to that, and I have also tried grabbing the value directly from the List item (not using the Get function), and neither of these made a difference.
I would like to format output to a property of a custom control I have made.For instance I have a literal control in my control and when populated I want to check if it is longer than 30 characters long, if so, then go to the next space (as to not cut the word off) after the 30th character and place a <br /> tag in to place the next 30 characters on the next line.So if there were 100 characters in a string, there would be 3 line breaks in the label.I have the looping worked out to get the label populated but cannot get how to dymaically create the array based on the string lenth property and index of method.
View 7 RepliesIs there a way for implementers of an interface where a ReadOnly property is defined to make it a complete Read/Write Property ?
Imagine I define an interface to provide a ReadOnly Property (i.e., just a getter for a given value) :
Interface SomeInterface
'the interface only say that implementers must provide a value for reading
ReadOnly Property PublicProperty As String
End Interface
This means implementers must commit to providing a value. But I would like a given implementer to also allow setting that value. In my head, this would mean providing the Property's setter as part of the implementation, doing something like this :
Public Property PublicProperty As String Implements SomeInterface.PublicProperty
Get
Return _myProperty
