VB Return Statement In A Function
Sep 28, 2009I am a little confused about the use of a return statement in a function. If I understand correctly the return statement returns a value but where? Where is the value being returned to?

View 1 RepliesI know normaly you have to use Return before "End Function", but now the Return is in the Try and Do statement and I can't find a way to variable the Return.[code]...
View 7 RepliesI have 2 functions that need to work together.1 function is to generate a chart number. The other function is to search via SQL to see if the chart number exists. if the chart number doesn't exist then i need function 2 to return a boolean value so function one can generate a new chart number example code: [code] Now i know that i am probably using the incorrect sql statement, my main issue is that i dont know how return available back to the function.
View 1 Replies1. 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"?

What is the wrong in the below code?
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(

"key",
"return confirm('Are you sure you wish to delete these records?');",
True)
Return statement which is true in an if statement
View 3 RepliesJust 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)
Am I just being blind or does this If statement genuinely not do what it's meant to.[code]This displays the message box even though textSample is one of the letters. In my eyes that If statement should see that textSample is one of those letters and skip it, whereas if it was Z it would "Not" be equal to any of those and would therefore show the message box.
View 6 RepliesI have the following piece of code that I am using to try and rip a csv file and turn it into a datatable. My problem is that the debugger never makes it to the return statement. Everything is appending to the datatable correctly, so I know that part works. Any idea's on what I can do to trouble shoot this further. Also, if you know of a simpler way to turn a import a csv file to a datatable I'd be very interested in learning about it.[code]..
It say that the Object reference is not set to an instance of an object. What's weird though is that it works through the whole data table fine. Could it be that the while loop is not terminating at the end of the file?
I just want to know whether there is any method to return from a goto statement.

I know the Output parameter is returned after the SqlDataReader is closed. From what I think I know, the Using statement will call .Dispose on the SqlDataReader, so will that basically wipe out the Output parameter? If so, what is the best method to call a SqlDataReader that also contains Output parameters that closes and disposes everything correctly? Let me add that based on what I've read you only have access to the Output parameter using a SqlDataReader after you call .Close on the SqlDataReader.

View 2 RepliesI know that if i have a using block like
using myresource
return 0
end using
myresource will be disposed .
But if my using block is
using myresource
return myresource
end using
Will myresource be disposed?
I am wondering if a similar using block is causing memory lead in the app.
thanks
I was rooting around in one of our company apps which is done in VB.net. I'm not familiar with VB.net (I do stuff in C#) so I'm asking this question: Does the code after the clean up comment execute? [code]It is my understanding once you say return, you give the calling function control again.
View 6 Replies[code] BUT, in code, watching the locals window for rec.EOF and rec.BOF both return true and therefore no results.Why does this work in VB Query Designer but not in code? If I remove the WHERE statement than the results return fine as expected.But its returning ALL of the results which is no good.

I've just been burned again by the fact that there is no compiler warning when you fail to return a result in a Function that returns a Value type. I wrote the function:
Public Function CompareTo(ByVal other As MessageIndex) As Integer Implements System.IComparable(Of MessageIndex).CompareTo
Me._messageIndex.CompareTo(other._messageIndex)
End Function
which performs the CompareTo Function for two integers, then throws the result away and returns 0, because I forgot to either assign a value to CompareTo, or use Return, and that isn't flagged by the compiler because it's valid VB for a Value type.
I happen never to use "FunctionName = ReturnValue" because it hides information from maintenance programmers and also because I think it's insane .
Is there any way I can get the compiler to issue a warning whenever my Functions are missing a Return, whether it's a Value type or not?
I am using OleDb, trying to do this:
Dim d as Date = DateSerial(Year(rptDate), Month(rptDate), 1 - 1)
Dim conn as OleDbConnection = new OleDbConnection(connStr)
Dim cm as OleDbCommand = new OleDbCommand()
[code]....
I know that d is the same date as the one in SQL server, specifically 3/31/2011 12:00:00 AM.

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?

I've created my own version of HexToDec() to properly handle the negative flag. I saw other versions online that used "Not(value)" to do the Pos/Neg inversion, but that does not generate the proper value... No, it's not the most elegant my any means. But I couldn't find anything online that actually worked.
Long story short, I want to return NaN in the case that the function is passed a string that is not a valid hex string...
How do I do that? Everything I've tried generates a compiler error... (assign return value to double.nan, assign return value to non-numeric, etc)
Existing function is below:
Function HexToDec(ByVal hexStr As String, Optional ByVal signed As Boolean = False) As Long
Dim lngFinal As Long

I've create a new project, and set treat all warnings as errors in the compile tab.All the other warnings seem to be treated as errors, except the one which I'm interested in "Function/Operator without return value".I have a simple function within a class, which does not show an error if I do not add a return statement to that function. I have read in many places that VB.Net returns a "hidden" default value if the returns statement is forgotten.My software went out to production where an overloaded function was missing a return statement, which wasn't highlighted due to the above.
