VB 2008 - Return A Variable Using The Function
Jun 17, 2010
I am writing a program with multiple forms (for inputing loan/financial information - so they are set up exactly the same albeit a form number (ie: 1-6)) that feed into a summary page form to display each individuals form's information. When the user closed a financial form, it then feeds the information to a summary page using the code I have below: [Code]. I am new to working with functions, and have not been able to find anything that can show me how to fill multiple textboxes with them (I only know how to return a variable using the function to work a calculation). Any way that I can write a function (or any other call) for this would save me a tremendous amount of coding, and make debugging worlds easier.

Can't seem to figure out how to use a function return variable in global Dims[code]...
I have also tried adding "FixPath()" under Sub On_load() but got same result. Also the reason I have to have these global is because I have around 30 Subs that refer to "Path" Variable.

Say I've got the following variables:
Public Shared x As String = "100"
Public Shared y As String = "text"
Public Shared z As String = "something"
[Code]....
But this doesn't do what I want, naturally. What I want is that my function giveVar returns the value of the variable that holds giveVar. For example I call giveVar("x") I want my function to return "100".
Of course this can be done by a Select Case but thats not what I like to do. Is it even possible to call a value based on a string?
[edit:]
Namespace i18n
public NotInheritable Class Settings
Public Shared LanguageCode As String
[Code]....
I think this works so far, BUT I get the following error on the CallByName(Me, varName, vbGet) at the Me : "me is only valid within an instance method"

It's often the case that I can write a nice tight little VB.NET function, and when it comes time to do the Return statement, it's really natural to just return the result of a quick calculation or a method call. However, this makes it difficult if I need to step through the debugger to see what is going to be returned from that Function. For example, take this simple method to illustrate the concept[code]...

I'm wondering whether its possible to have a function's return type and input arguments as a variable.
For example this function:Private Function MyFunction(ByVal argument1 As VariableType) As VariableType

What's best practice (in VB.Net):
Function GetSomething() as String
GetSomething = "Here's your string"
End Function
or
Function GetSomething() as String
Dim returnString as String = "Here's your string"
Return returnString
End Function
Obviously, neither of these implementations make any sense, but they're just meant to illustrate my point. Is there anything to be gained by using GetSomething itself to store the return value instead of declaring returnString locally and then returning that (does it avoid having an extra string allocated/instantiated - and if so, are there any performance/memory benefits)?

excuse my stupidness, i'm fairly new to VB and i've only done a little bit with it before. Basically i am making a little application that i want to run on my machine. Standalone not via a web browser.I have a web page which is generated using php, there is no html code on the page simply a number, e.g. "9995" when you view source.
All i want to do is return this value from the web page (without actually opening the page in a browser) and display it in a text box in VB or store it as a variable that i can use later. point me in the correct direction or right keywords to research, or if you have a simple example that would be even better

When i press the button3, i want the webbrowser change site after how mutch the clock is. Is the clock between 9:00 and 17:30, the webbrowser is gonna change to swedish sites. If the clock is between 17:31 and 21:30, the webbrowser is gonna changes to american sites. But the webbrowser is only choose ONE swedish site and ONE american site. The problem is that the variable b does not save the value it has before.How to i make so the variable b saves the value it has before? b = b + 1 is gonna be first 1. Then if i press the button3 agin, it gonna be 2. and if the value is 3, it gonna be 1 agin.

I'm having trouble with a function returning two values. Each value contains a string, how can I return these values and have each one of them be stored in one independent variable. [code] I'm trying to return the hashed text with the salt and the generated salt, how can I do this?

1. I would like to know why a Return statement is needed in the function in the first set of code, but not in the second(even though it still works with the Return statement). The functions are called the same way, so what is the difference?2. Why in the second code, the variable FutureValue is allowed to have the same name as the function? But when, in the first set of code, I try to rename the variable "discountPercent1"(in the function) to the function name "SetDiscountPercent", VB 2008 Epress gives the error message "The name conflicts with an existing symbol with the same name"?

I have created my own ListViewItem class, and added some custom properties to it of attributes. What I have at the moment is a tooltip which shows all of those custom properties (about 18 of them).What I want to be able to do is if multiple are selected, to show a tooltip, but if a property (say Title) for all of them is "My Title" it will show that, otherwise if they are different, I would like it to show "VARIES"Is there a way of declaring a parameter in my function and return a value?

I should be able to pass an array of numbers, calculate average, lowest number, highest number, and standard deviation.the function returns an array containing the results. I dim public data
Public dataArray() As Double
Public DataIndex As Integer = 4
Private Function CalculateData(ByRef dtArray() As Double) As Double()
[code]....
I get an "error Number of indices is less than the number of dimensions of the indexed array" stats()If I add a dimension there like stats(Dataindex) I get an error "Value of type '1-dimensional array of Double' cannot be converted to 1-dimensional array of double".

Just so it's known, this question is mostly academic, even though I tried to use the concept in a real-world solution. I realize the example is contrived, but I believe the concept is valid.I want to write some fluent code like this:
[code]...
I realize that I can't force an anonymous type into a specific type (like implementing an interface or some other class), and I don't want the overhead of defining a specific class just to match my desired fluent name with the actual method name. So I was able to make the code work like this:
copy(my_first_file).to.Invoke(my_second_file)So there is no IntelliSense or type awareness there, and I have to include the Invoke in order to have the method run. How can I get more type safety and exclude the Invoke method, under these constraints: Anonymous Type returned from Method No additional classes or interfaces Preferably, I do not want to pass in another parameter to the copy() method that tells what type to return, unless copy becomes a generic method (but I think that means defining another class/interface, which I don't want to do)

Public Class Form1

The variables in the brackets [example] do not actually have brackets in them in the original code. These are where the issues are. For both variables, it says, "The type for variable [variable] will not be inferred because it is bound to a field in an enclosing scope. Either change the name of [variable], or use the fully qualified name (for example, 'Me.[variable]' or 'MyBase.[variable]')." Now, I'm not entirely sure if this is a stupid question or not, as I'm used to VB '98 because that's what we use in my programming class at High School. let me know why this won't work.
-Note: The intention of this program is to continually loop the generation of numbers for this list until I tell it to stop. Button1 ends the program, Button2 generates the list one time only, Button3 is supposed to loop the generation of the list, and Button4 is supposed to end the loop, but not the program.

I'm currently working with a client's VB.Net code, which was developed for them by a small development shop a few years ago and which they purchased and have been maintaining and uprgrading since. This client's primary developer is out on indefinite (likely permanent) medical leave and I'm now filling in until they bring in a full timer (as I'm a contractor here). My current task is to add some functionality to a the VB.Net code they purchased. I'm finding practices and techniques in the code that absolutely baffle me and can't make the code do what I want. I'm starting to wonder if it's me and was hoping to get some thoughts on the code I've encountered.
For example: Setting a variable to accept the result of a function by calling the function with many parameters, clearing the parameters in the function, setting them to some value, calling another function with those new values, then never using the values returned by the functions. I'll add a code snippet in the first comment since this is already getting long.

I was wondering if there's a way I can make my objects return their own variable name as a string, something like this:

Public ReadOnly Property VariableName() As String
Get

Is this possible? I'm fairly sure it should be possible through the System.Reflection namespace, but I can't figure it out.

I wrote the following two functions in a class to take a gpib reading and also take a measurement from an LCR meter.
HTML
Public Function gpibRead(ByVal Channel As Integer, ByVal buffer As Integer) As String
Dim readingBufferA1 As String
Select Case Channel
Case 1
readingBufferA1 = gpibLCRA1.ReadString(buffer)
Return readingBuff
[Code] .....
When on the main form I call the funtion takeMeasurement(1) how can I get the LCR readings back. If I try and use readingBufferA1 on the mainform it doesn't recognize that as a variable. I know that it is taking the reading and storing the correct numbers because I am monitoring on NI Spy.

take a look at the following Code:

Dim d As Date
[Code]....
The Funtion ZZNull always returns Nothing, so IsNothing(d) in the calling method should evaluate to True.
But it does not !
When you run these lines, then you will see that IsNothing(d) evaluates to False

So the program I am writing validates the controls on the page on button_click.
I want to write a function which checks which step the program is at (0-7) then return something depending on whether or not it validated.
My plan was to return the control which was not valid.
Private Function ValidateInputs() As Control
Select Case wizardStep
Case 0
[Code].....
1. could I return the names off all the controls which did not validate?
2. should I be returning a control type or would something like a string be better?
