VS 2005 Can't Find Where Object Name/type Is Being Set/changed
Feb 10, 2010
This starts with an object being added to a collection with: CommonArgs.Add(ObjName, Me)
ObjName is a string, call it "Obj1". Me is an instance of a class inheriting from UserControl. Call it "Class1".
Now, to check the value assigned to Obj1, the vendor has the
Dim Obj As Object = CommonArgs(ObjName)
Dim Info As System.Reflection.FieldInfo = Obj.GetType().GetField(ObjName, System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Public Or System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance Or System.Reflection.BindingFlags.IgnoreCase)
Obj is the Class1 object added to CommonArgs.
When I run this in my test app, Info is Nothing-but when I run it in the vendor's app Info is an Enumerated type. Why?
I've found a little more info, but it's still a mystery to me-and so far it appears to be a mystery to everybody else, too.
First, I noticed that I didn't mention that the Collection is a Hashtable. I don't know if that would make a difference, but it is something I forgot to mention.
Second, there's a 'regular' variable named ObjName that contains the value being returned by Info. My understanding is that there's no connection between these, e.g. Dim X as Integer = 1 doesn't change the type or value of the object of CommonArgs("X"). But that's what appears to be happening.
Given an object instance, how can I recurse its members (i.e. the whole object graph) for an object of a specific type, or one that inherits from a specific type?
This maybe a long shot because the treeview I am talking about it a component one control. Basically I build a menu structure up using a treeview. But as a build the menu if an item equals a certain value I want to recursively go back up the tree expanding any branch nodes which works until I get to the very top. Here is the
Private Sub ExpandTree(ByRef Item As C1TreeViewNode) Dim ParentNode As C1TreeViewNode If Item.Owner = "" Then
[code]....
Basically on the 'If Item.Owner = "" Then' what I need to do is trap for the type of the Item.Owner because when it gets to the top the owner is no longer a C1TreeViewNode type but a C1TreeView and I can't work out how to trap for this. Basically once is gets to C1TreeView exit the loop.
I know how to handle a single objects property changed event very easily. I want to handle a objects property changed event that is part of another object.
Given Object:
[ObjectY = Y] + Public WithEvents X As ObjectX
I would like to do something like:
Private Sub XPropertyChanged() Handles Y.X.PropertyChanged
Right now I need to create a object that equals the object inside that object and then handle this variable pointers property changed, but that is just annoying.
I have some ActiveX that was written for VB6. They all seem to return Variant types. Ex.

In this case the GetPosition control is returning a robot axis position. It looks to me like the values coming back from the function is not getting converted to object type properly.
Unable to cast object of type 'DynamicTreeNode' to type 'DynamicTreeNode'.
I have an inherited TreeView with an inherited class called DynamicTreeNode inside it. I am trying to loop through the DynamicTreeNodes in the TreeView.Nodes property which is causing this error.
Now I can change the TextBoxes or the object: MyObject.Two = 3 ..the object and TextBoxes are updated in two ways. Now I want to update the whole object: MyObject = New TestClass(3, 4) ...but this doesn't update the TextBoxes.
I have a class and one of the properties is a list of a custom class. The caller gets the list and is adding instances of class to the list. How do I get notified that the list has been updated?
Private _list as List(of MyType) Private _totalField1 as Integer Public Property MyTypeList As List(Of MyType) Get Return _list End Get Set(ByVal value As List(Of MyType)) _list= value _totalField1 = _list.Sum(Function(x) x.Field1) End Set End Property
What I'm trying to do is every time a MyType object is added to the list keep a running total of Field1, but adding to the list doesn't use the setter. How can I know when the list has been added or changed?
even Word Pad, when you scroll your Caret (the I-beam for browsing through text) through the text, in the font combobox, the font of the text you are browsing through will be displayed, and when you scroll your caret through a different font, the font will be changed. If you're confused, look at attatched picture.
I cannot seem to find a caret position changed event on the normal richtextbox control - and if anyone can show me a custom component with this it would help me a huge amount.So my basic question is how can i replicate the formentioned function in my own VB.NET program.No code is necessary just constructive suggestions, or links to other projects would be welcome.

I've got a piece of code in a project (MyProject) that contains early bound object from a referenced assembly (We'll call it CommonAssembly):
Dim myObject As CommonAssembly.MyEarlyBoundType
now I have another assembly that is dynamically loaded because it is not present in all projects:
Dim myLateBoundObject As Object = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap("Utils", "Utils.MyLateBoundType") MyLateBoundType derives from CommonAssembly.MyEarlyBoundType, and I want to cast myObject to myLateBoundObject and then programmatically invoke the additional

Error message from Generic Update.Value of member 'Id' of an object of type 'TestAuthor' changed.A member defining the identity of the object cannot be changed.Consider adding a new object with new identity and deleting the existing one instead.What do I need to modify the Generic Update?
I've written a custom class MyClass and marked it with the <Serializable()> attribute. I have a set of binary files on my hard drive that I've serialized using BinaryFormatter that came from instances of MyClass.
I've recently changed the structure of MyClass slightly (added some properties, deleted some properties, changed a few methods, etc).
What happens when I try to deserialize the existing objects to this changed class using the code below? I've tried it and not had an error thrown or anything - but surely it can't deserialize properly when the class has changed? Is there a way I can get some useful information out of the serialized files even though I've updated the class?
Here's the code I'm using to do the serialization:
Public Sub serializeObject(ByVal obj As Object, ByVal outFilename As String) Dim fStream As FileStream Try
Is there anyway of reading the date a computers name was changed? I can get the OS installation date which is the same date that the computer name was first set.
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'"?
I'm having a problem with converting from one source type to a destination type. I have a form with 2 buttons (button 2 uses the OpenFileDialog to have the user open an excel file set to NewFile),(button 1 takes the contents from specific cells in NewFile and arranges them how I need into oXLApp1).
The error I get is "Unable to cast object of type 'System.IO.FileStream' to type 'Excel.Application'." in line 14 of the code below.
Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
I'm new to VB 2005, the code below is actualy coded from VB 6 and just converted it to VB 2005. I'm having trouble with line that's on bold letters.In VB 6 this works just ok. By the way the error message is "Unable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'ADODB.Connection'." [code]
Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to class type 'rjsDocMan.Folder'.Instances of types that represent COM components cannot be cast to types that do not represent COM components; however they can be cast to interfaces as long as the underlying COM component supports QueryInterface calls for the IID of the interface.The code where it is flagging the error is:
I saw this thread and I had simple answer in mind. To use custom enumerator class. So I was trying to make one for that guy, which would have one more property to check whether its has reached end or not. It would also provide current position.I'm getting an error "Unable to cast object of type 'SZArrayEnumerator' to type 'WindowsApplication1.myEnumerator'." at the line 6 [see below].However, return type of values.getEnumerator says its IEnumerator.

Columns 0 & 1 are filled from a DataAdapter from Access Database and three are added. I had this working, but I changed it to check for the column "Feed" so I could add several Locations. At first this worked,but I did someething in perfecting it and it now fails after filling the first row of the datagridview (dgvFdMed).I ran a check and the table LotsTab has 8 rows filled. Column 1 & 2 are strings and the database appears they are fine. The added columns have just been created with no value. My plan is to enter the values and then use the data from the grid.
Private Sub sfillGrid(ByVal Loc As String) Dim i As Integer Dim column As DataGridViewColumn
I have 2 Child forms inside a parent. For example, FrmChild1 contains a "Friend Sub" I wish to call.I would like one of the child forms to call that sub from another child form (we will call it FrmChild2. The following code works, but when it's done going through the "For Each", I get a "Invalid Cast"
' THIS CODE IS IN FrmChild1 For Each mFrmChild2 As FrmChild2 In FrmParent.MdiChildren mFrmChild2.GuestRefresh(False) Next
Error after calls are made:"Unable to cast object of type FrmChild1 to type FrmChild2.
I have a series of API calls that are returning J# data types. I have been able to convert most of the data types (Integer, Boolean, Double, Float, etc) just fine.What I need to do now is convert a java.Util.Collection to a VB .NET collection (ArrayList)
Here is my attempt:
