Below is the called method: Friend Sub SplitOU2(ByVal inDN As String, ByRef OUDN As Object, ByRef Organisation As Object, ByRef VerksamhetTyp As Object) By doing this I can skip to declare the in this example "useless" variable Dim VerksamhetTyp as Object = "".
Store Data In Several Collections?
Mar 31, 2011I'm not sure how to do this but I want to store data in several collections. I want the data to be stored / accessed as follows.

how these nested structures or collections are defined and used?
Passing Null Object() ByRef Returns Initialized Object()?
Dec 8, 2009I am making use of a 3rd party dll and am encountering some strange behavior in VB, which doesn't occur in C# Perhaps someone can explain what is going on. Anyhow, I am making use of a method in this 3rd party library which accepts an array parameter ByRef. The end result is the variable should remain null after the method call, but it is returning initialized for some reason.

Reflection - Get The Name Of The Object Passed In A Byref Parameter?
Aug 29, 2011How can I get the name of the object that was passed byref into a method?
Example:
Dim myobject as object
sub mymethod(byref o as object)
debug.print(o.[RealName!!!!])
end sub
[code]....
I'm using this for logging. I use one method multiple times and it would be nice to log the name of the variable that I passed to it. Since I'm passing it byref, I should be able to get this name, right?This would give you the parameter name in the method and it's type, but not the name of the variable that was passed byref.
using system.reflection
Dim mb As MethodBase = MethodInfo.GetCurrentMethod()
For Each pi As ParameterInfo In mb.GetParameters()
[code]....
If you put that in "mymethod" above you'd get "o" and "Object".
C# - Extending An Object And Any Child Collections?
Jul 30, 2009I have an class named Foo. This class contains a collection of child objects of type FooChildBase, but I also have a further class of type FooChildTwo which inherits from FooChildBase.
Class Foo
Public Children As IList(Of FooChildBase)
End Class
Class FooChildBase
[code]....
What I would like to do is have my FooSpecial Class treat it's Children collection as if they were FooChildSpecial objects, but still be able to add FooChildTwo objects to it. Is this possible and if so how can it be done?
EDIT:I need to FooChildSpecial class to wrap any of the objects in the Children collection with the extra values, whether they are FooChildBase or FooChildTwo?
Collections - Specifically About The Request.Cookies Object
Sep 20, 2010I have a question specifically about getting the current cookies set to a particular visitor on an ASP.NET webpage. I understand you need to use Request.Cookies - and by default it returns a collection of all cookies set, as an HTTPCookieCollection. However, the MSDN documentation states that you do: Request.Cookies("Username") as an example, in order to fetch an individual cookie and then compare whether it is set, etc. All fine and dandy but why adding parentheses and a string does the type suddenly change to
HTTPCookie.
I understand HTTPCookie is for dealing with individual cookies and HTTPCookieCollection is for dealing with multiple cookies at a time for like iteration purposes, etc., but I don't understand when on the MSDN documentation it explicitly states that the Request.Cookies property (the Cookies property) is of type HTTPCookieCollection, and if you do what I explained it changes the type (I can see this from IntelliSense) and it does not state this happens in the MSDN documentation. I'm not asking about the MSDN documentation lol, but why this happens when adding the parentheses and a string denoting the cookie name. I'm still pretty new to Visual Basic. By the way, I'm doing this all in Visual Web Developer although using VB as the language of choice.

View 1 RepliesPass An Object Variable But Doesn't VB Force Decalre The Header As ByRef?
Oct 20, 2011Why if you pass an object as byVal into a method is it then treated as if it were byRef? I know you're only passing the reference across when you pass an object variable but why doesn't VB force you to decalre the header as byRef?
View 2 RepliesIDE :: Debugging Nightmare: Cannot Drill Down Into Object Collections In QuickWatch Window?
Mar 15, 2007My colleague and I have recently upgraded our projects from .NET Framework 1.0 and VS2002 to .NET Framework 2.0 and VS2005. We also applied the latest VS2005 service pack.
Our problem: normally when debugging we use the QuickWatch window to drill down into and view collections of objects belonging to the parent object we are "watching". THIS NO LONGER WORKS...instead, we get a message in the value line against the object collection saying:"In order to evaluate an indexed property, the property must be qualified and the arguments must be explicitly supplied by the user."This is incredibly frustrating, particularly when we have large nested collections of objects.We are pretty sure this feature was working fine after we upgraded, but we are not so sure that it was working after we applied the VS2005 service pack.
Iterate Through The Keys And Values Collections Of A Dictionary Object Using An Index?
Apr 25, 2009I have a VB.NET project where I am able to iterate through the keys and values collections of a dictionary object using an index:
MyDictionary.Keys(idx)
MyDictionary.Values(idx)
When this code is taken from the test project and placed into the real project I get the following error:
'System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary(Of Double, String).KeyCollection' cannot be indexed because it has no default property.[code]...
In the line in sub search that says "dtf.Keys(idx) = 0" place your cursor after the right parenthesis and backspace you should get a tooltip that says, "<Extension> ElementAtOrDefault(index as Integer) as Double - index: the zero based element of the index to retrieve.

LINQ Query To Group Data Between Two List Collections, Populating A Nested Object
Oct 26, 2011I have these objects:[code]Using LINQ I need to take a List(Of MakeInfo) and a List(Of ModelInfo) and aggregate the StockInfo from ModelInfo into the List(Of MakeInfo).So for each MakeInfo I will have a total count of all stock where MakeInfo.Name = ModelInfo.Make, and also a minimum price.I think it's going to be something like this, but I'm having trouble accessing the nested object and not sure if it's going to be possible with a single query.[code]
View 2 RepliesAccess To Object Passed ByRef In The Constructor Of A Class Through Another Part Of The Class?
Aug 18, 2009I have some classes, BsfciFile and StudyFlashCard. Bsfci is the extension to which I save my set of flashcards in an INI format. I am currently working to transform my code from using Windows API calls to access the INI to using a IniFile class that I found on the internet. I would like the BsfciFile to have a Array of StudyFlashCard objects, but I would like the StudyFlashCard class to use the IniFile class object contained in the BsfciFile class. I can pass the IniFile from the BsfciFile class to the constructor for the StudyFlashCard class, but I want it to modify the same IniFile as the BsfciFile class has later on.

Object Passed ByRef To Form, But Not Accessible Throughout Form Class
Feb 18, 2010Hi
I've got a pretty general question about the best practice in passing an object reference to a Form in VB.NET. My form is a dialog and I've created an overload ShowDialog method, where I pass an Object into it ByRef.
The trouble is, I want to be able to refer to that Object throughout my dialog Class and not just in the ShowDialog method. For instance, some of my Events for controls on the form, need to reference that object.
I know I could create a local Private variable in the Class and assign it to the passed value, and then use that value. However I'm thinking this isn't very efficient because it would (I believe) create a new copy of the Object (which is a complex, large class in itself).
.net - ByRef Underlined With "Expression Expected" Error When Trying To Pass In A Object Of Type List(Of ClsFooDetail)?
Mar 3, 2010I work with C# 99% of the time. However, I'm having to update some legacy VB.Net code and encountering an issue with VB.Net code syntax. The error that I get is "ByRef" is underlined and "Expected Expression" tag shows up when you hover over "ByRef". The "FooDetail.Load" function is written in C# and expects a List object passed as reference. Don't have any trouble using the same function in other C# classes. Can someone indicate what is wrong with below VB.Net code.
Dim FooDetail As New clsFooDetail()
FooDetail.FooID = FooID
Dim lstFooDetail As New List(Of clsFooDetail)
FooDetail.Load(ConnectionString, "Stored Procedure", ByRef lstFooDetail as System.Collection.List(Of(clsFooDetail))

.NET Inheritance With Collections "Object Reference Not Set..." Errors?
Nov 7, 2010I am constructing a collection of objects, and need to use inheritance on a base class - I have been trying for hours in various ways and can't get this to work whatsoever - the error is always "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." The idea in the example below is that an object is instantiated, and within that lies a collection of Students when I try to access the oDemo.Students(0).Name property the error is raised. Otherwise the object appears to have instantiated OK.Here is the code being used to instantiate and access the class (from ASP.NET).
Dim oDemo As New MyDemo.Students
lblTest.Text = oDemo.Student(0).Name
Here is the sample code from the class library:

Convert A System.Object To A System.Collections.Arraylist?
Oct 13, 2010I am using Visual Studio 2005 and am writing a SSIS package. In the package I have a VB.Script that looks at a directory on a server and creates a list of the files. I then have a store Proc that looks at a table and gets a list of files that matches the files in the first array. The result is a fullresultset. The next step I need to create a 3rd array that only contains the rows from the first that are not in the second. However, I am getting the following error. Error: The script threw an exception: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Object' to type 'System.Collections.ArrayList'.

What's really the point in using the former?It's hard to use linq if I used the former. I have to convert that to an array first which is difficult because there is no (asarray) function.I think I would change all of my code that's using System.

View 4 RepliesVS 2008 ByVal / ByRef List Parameter
Sep 4, 2010I have a class OrderManager, that takes a parameter of type LocalFuturesList on construction. Now.. It doesn't seem to matter if I use ByRef or ByVal here.. It still references the parent class instance of it. It also doesn't seem to matter if I type New or omit it.. Probably also because it's just an address reference. But why is it like this? And what type of objects "acts" in this way? Further I find that if I change the object in the parent class by deserializing from a file (with my method call shown), then suddenly this reference is broken in some way, so the OrderManager instance now holds Nothing I believe.If my observations are correct I see two challenges:
1. How to pass a list NOT by reference?
2. How to maintain a list reference through deserialization? [code]
VS 2008 Passing Parameters - ByVal/ByRef?
Dec 22, 2010I have some code that is transforming the coordinates of a line.I want to keep the original coords and I thought passing the line ByVal would be the best way.The original VB6 code used a temporary variable so that the original coords were not updated.I'm confused as when the X & y coords of 'line' are changed 'MyLine' is also changed. I had assumed only 'line' would change and 'MyLine' would remain unchanged'.

Permanently Store String/object?
Apr 23, 2011I need to permanently store a string or maybe a object in my application. And yes, I have tried the application settings (My.Settings).
My.Settings.something = "hi" will save "hi" into something, and when i use msgbox to output the data, it works. The thing is; when I copy my application to somewhere else on my computer it is gone. I guess the settings is saved to some file at the filesystem, and when I move my file it also creates a new settings file. How can I store a string inside my application, and also move the application later on?
