VB Is Using Structures Considered Good Or Bad?
Oct 10, 2010I use to use Structures quite a lot in the VB6 days, and try to avoid them now with .NET. Just wondering if using structures in 2010 instead of a Class is considered nasty?

(2005) Arrays Of Structures Within Structures?
Jan 20, 2009I have a structure called 'Scheme' and in my program I want (ideally) an ArrayList of 'Schemes' (so i can add, remove schemes etc.). However, within the 'Scheme' structure, I want to have an ArrayList of 'Item''Item' is another structure. Are there any solutions out there for iterating through these arrays quite easily?
How can I easily add multiple Items to a Scheme and mutliple Schemes to my Scheme array. Code is below. When I try to add Items to a Scheme, I get the 'Object not set to a reference of an object, try the 'New' keyword', but you cannot declare 'New' keywork within a structure.

Using Modules In .NET Considered?
Jun 7, 2011During the design of a new application I was wondering if using a module with properties is considered to be a bad practice. Some example code:
Module modSettings
public property Setting1 as string
public property DatabaseObject as IDatabaseObject
End Module
The code above is just an example to emphasize my question. In the past, this structure was used a lot in VB6. In the past I used it as well in my .NET projects.
But nowadays with buzzwords like Dependency Injection, Testability and Separation of Concerns the above structure smells bad. I can't really describe why, but it just feels wrong. I must admit I'm not very familiar with the keywords above, yet.So I'm wondering whether the above code really is a bad practice. If so, what would you use a Module for?
What Would Be Considered A .NET Module In C#
Mar 16, 2011VB.NET has classes and Modules, so my first question is what is the difference? Also, I noticed that C# does not have modules, but just classes, is there something in place of modules or were they removed for C#?
View 1 RepliesIs Backspace Considered Character
Oct 18, 2010You need to test for the backspace character, and if it's there, fix up the input.Maybe something like this:
If Right$(TxtQP.Text, 1) = vbBs Then
TxtQP = Left$(TxtQP, len(TxtQP)-1)
End If
Or is the backspace not showing up in the string, but as the input character kicking off your procedure?

Is Using GoTo<label> ALWAYS Considered Bad Practice
Aug 23, 2011I'm just wondering why using GoTo<label> is so frowned upon?I'm learning VB, and I want to develop good habits as I go. One thing I don't entirely understand, is why everyone avoids GoTo like its the plague (except in error handling...). I feel like GoTo could be useful in some situations.

View 4 RepliesStructures And Arrays Of Structures?
Jun 2, 2010I read in the Book "Mastering Microsoft Visual Basic 2008" about "User-Defined data types".The example given is creating a Structure as follows.I wanted to check that so I wrote all the code given; I used a TextBox and a Button for this.(I didn't include the "CheckDate" here; that is in the book)
Structure CheckRecord
Dim CheckNumber As Integer
[code]....
The problem is this does work.What I get is "00000". and I found out that the "Checks(4)" Array does hold any value ie: on keeping the cursor over that, it shows "CheckAmount 0.0, CheckNumber 0 , CheckPaidTo Nothing ".
VS 2008 - Are Arrays Considered A Type Of Collection Like Lists
Mar 2, 2010Ever since I started using VB.Net I have been using the Generic List collection List(Of <Type>). Arrays, I haven't used so much. I used them a lot more when I wrote C code years ago.
1.) Are arrays considered a type of collection like Lists, Dictionary, Queue etc are? Or are they in their own category.
2.) Can I iterate over an array with a For Each loop like I can with other collections or do I stick with the normal For loop for arrays?
3.) There are certain methods that return arrays. Can I set a list object to hold this return value instead of an array?
Create A List Of Structures Within A List Of Structures?
Jul 20, 2009I'm attempting to create a list of structures that contains a list of structures. I can't seem to figure out how to properly allocate the object for the inner list of structures. I expect the outer list of structures to have a couple thousand entries and the inner list of structures to be fairly small at 2 to 10. Both lists will grow over time but the number of elements within the inner list will be constant for an instance of the outer list. Meaning, if an instance of the outer list has 2000 entries each of those will have the same number of elements on the inner list, say 4 entries.
Here is a simplified code fragment. This fragment makes no attempt to create the instance of the inner list "StructBlist" since I can't figure out where to put it. Tried "New List(Of StructB)" in the declaration as well as "Alist(0).StructBlist = New List(Of StructB)" but neither works.

Using Arrays In/with Structures?

View 7 RepliesGood Word To PDF Convertors?
Jul 29, 2009I realize that this would mean a third-party component and I've looked at a few. Does anyone use/know of a component that they would recommend to get reliable, quality Word to PDF conversion via a VB.NET application?
Anyone know of any cheaper options that will do a good job? I tried a couple of cheaper RTF to PDF convertors, saving the Word doc as RTF via the app but the PDF they output lost formatting on Word tabs, table of contents, page numbers, etc. Not good enough.
Otherwise, I will have to tell the app users they will need to convert the Word doc to PDF themselves (unless they have Word 2007 and pdf add-in which I can probably offer as an option).

View 2 RepliesVS 2008 Is Good For A ListView?
Dec 26, 2009In my VB6 project I had eight list boxes in an array. I was able to create a command to move to the next listbox by adding one to the index. I was able to move to the next selected item in the listbox with a command also.All the data in my arrayed listboxes: I was wondering if I could put into a ListView with multiple columns in VB2008 (each column would have the items from the listboxes mentioned before).
If they were in a ListView, would I be able to work in each column by moving to the next item with a command like I did before, and then move to the next column of items with a separate command?
I was thinking it would be easier to do that than array all those listboxes again.
