Using Generics To Replace Object Type?

Dec 7, 2009

I have a class called results which amongst other things has 3 internal Lists which contain 0 to n result objects each. One list has results whose answer property is integer,the next is Decimal and the last text. I many common properties like ID and I have a property on the Results class called Result which looks like this: -

Public ReadOnly Property Result(Index) As Object
Get
Select Case ResultTypeID

Generics Compiler Error: Type Argument X Does Not Inherit From Or Implement The Constraint Type Y?

I've spent quite a bit of time reading up on generics, covariance, etc., and I am failing to understand why I get the aforementioned compiler error in this type of codeLet's say I have a base "Bill" class made up of a collection of Lines..

Numeric Type Only Generics?

Jan 20, 2011

Suppose I have an interface called IParseable(Of TParsed, TUnparsed) which requires two functions:[code]Is there a way that I can restrict TParsed and TUnparsed to be numeric types (for which operations like "*" and "+" are already defined)?The problem is that, when I try to implement my interface and define one of the functions, e.g.:[code]VS throws an error saying the "*" is not defined for TUnparsed. I understand that, since TUnparsed could be anything, but is there a way to restrict my generic such that, say, TUnparsed could only be Double, Integer, Long, etc? To require Control to be a TextBox (or maybe I don't understand that very well either). But, anyway, any idea or am I way off track? Just trying to get a hang of these interface thingies and generic types.

Generics - What Does .Net For Each Loop Look At To Infer The Type

Apr 6, 2012

In the following code,

For Each item in MyCollection
...
Next

What does the compiler use to determine the type of item?For example let say I have this class, which is inheriting a non generic collection,

Public Class BaseDataObjectGenericCollection(Of T)
Inherits BaseDataObjectCollection
End Class

A for each loop still infers the Item type as Object. How would I have to modify the above class to make the type inference work?

Edit: Per Beatles1692's answer, Implementing IEnumerator(Of T) kinda works. The base class already has a GetEnumerator function, inherited from CollectionBase, so I my implementation looked like this,

Public Function GetEnumerator1() As System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerator(Of T) Implements System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable(Of T).GetEnumerator
Return MyBase.Cast(Of T)().GetEnumerator
End Function

However, the for loop still infers the type as object. But, if I change the interface implementation to this,

Public Shadows Function GetEnumerator() As System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerator(Of T) Implements System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable(Of T).GetEnumerator
Return MyBase.Cast(Of T)().GetEnumerator
End Function

That works, the for loop gets the type inference correct. So I guess the question is now, does For Each just look for a function called GetEnumerator ?

Multiple Type Cast With Or Without Generics

Mar 21, 2010

Ok, this looks junky to me and I tried a lot of approaches; Generics won't allow me to cast the types on the fly and use MemberwiseClone() because it is 'Protected'.

Does anyone know a "short form" of doing this? I tried CType by Object.GetType on the fly; but the IDE cannot resolve the MemberwiseClone().

Private lastObj as Object = Nothing
Public Function IsObjectedDifferent(CurrentObject as Object) as Boolean
If CurrentObject Is Nothing Then Return False

[Code]....

I am trying to make a generalized function to handle if the Object is Changed; or If the values are different.

This seems like way too much code for such a simple task to me, and I have a lot of classes to compare; is there away to get the class defination dynamically so that the CType function will handle it?

VS 2008 Generics - Function Returns Generic Type?

Jun 23, 2009

The idea is to expand on the existing, old, and lacking Inputbox, to allow for:1. A greater variety of types (Integers, doubles, List(Of String), etc.2. Data validation.For example, if the user wants the user to quickly enter an Integer, I want a custom Inputbox form to show up with a TextBox, which only allows Integer input. If he wants the user to choose from a List(Of String), I show a form with a Combobox instead, from which the user can then choose.

I have got the list of Class Name as Follows: Type[] typelist = typeof(Sample.Students).Assembly.GetTypes();

Now i have complete list of all classes available in Sample NameSpace:

Now i want to get data through class I am using Devexpress Persistance class so basically i have to create XPQuert Object as follows: XPQuery<Employee> EmployeeQuery = new XPQuery<Employees>(XPODefault.Session);

But in my case Employee class will be listed in typelist variable..How can i create the object of XPQuery.. is it possible something like this: XPQuery<typeof(typelist[0].Name)> EMployeeQuery = new XPQuery<typeof(typelist.Name)> (XPODefault.Session);

Replace An Existing Object In A Hashtable With A New Object?

Jul 14, 2010

I have a group of objects I set values in and then place in a hashtable with the keys stored in an array. When something happens and I want to replace the original object stored in the hashtable with a newer version I have no idea what to do. For example:

arContractsMissingData(arContractsMissingData.Length - 1) = ActiveContract.Item("caContractID").ToString
htMissingData.Add(arContractsMissingData(arContractsMissingData.Length - 1), objMissingData)

This adds the original object to the hashtable but after some conditional check a new object with the same fields but different values is created and needs to replace the original object. I tried setting the values from the new object to the old object like this:

htMissingData.Item(ActiveContract.Item("caContractID").ToString).ContractNoticeInitialDate = objMissingData.ContractNoticeInitialDate

This generates an error that option strict on disallows late binding.

Can I just remove the old object and add the replacement object?

Unable To Cast Object Of Type 'IMAPI2FS.FsiStreamClass' To Type 'IMAPI2.IStream'

Apr 13, 2011

I am implementing IMAPI2 into my vb.net project but ran into a wall. I am getting the message Unable to cast object of type 'IMAPI2FS.FsiStreamClass' to type 'IMAPI2.IStream' when trying to start the burn. I googled around and found this is something that microsoft hasn't fixed.. which basically renders IMAPI2 useless in vb.net.

I found a post on codeproject.com by eric hadden who combined the IMAPI2.dll and IMAPI2fs.dll into an c# interop file. I also see the IBURN interop in microsoft SDK samples. I'd like to use either, but it's in c# and I'm using vb express. Does anyone know a way to get the interop into visual basic or a way around "Unable to cast object of type 'IMAPI2FS.FsiStreamClass' to type 'IMAPI2.IStream'"?

Cast Value Type To Nullable Enumeration Type In Generic Object If All Types Are Unknown At Write-time?

Dec 14, 2011

I have a generic Class I'm using to hold information loaded from a database.I have a method which takes a DataRow as an argument, uses the object's known column name and extracts the data from the DataRow, such that:Dim loadData As T = CType(myDataRow("myColumnName"), T))works as my default assignment in most cases.Unfortunately, due to some horrifying design constraints, some of my columns may be null, and may also be taken from enumerations.This means that when <T> is Nullable(Of SomeEnumeration) the above code does not work because I can't cast 0 directly to SomeEnumeration.Zero.Is there some way to check whether <T> is Nullable(Of [Enum])? Or some way to write a method which allows Integers to be cast to Nullable(Of [Enum])?I feel like I'm forgetting something that would allow me to write one of the other of these, but my weak google-fu is turning up nothing.

EDIT: Okay, thanks to dasblinkenlight's answer below, I can detect when this circumstance is occurring, but what I need to do now is to take a type <T> which I know is Nullable(Of SomeClass), get a type reference to SomeClass and then create a new object of type Nullable(Of SomeClass) and assign that to LoadData.My problem was that I had a lot of difficulty in finding any function which would accept baseType as an actual Type.Parse accepted baseType as a parameter, I knew baseType was an [Enum] type because of dasblinkenlight's code, so I was, in this instance, able to code a solution. It's a solution which is very specific to my problem (i.e., T is Nullable(of SomeEnumeration)), but it's a solution nonetheless.
