Namespace MyClassLib
Public Class MainClass
Public Sub New()
[CODE]...
Is it possible to make it so that the user using the Class Library has to declare a new Instance of MainClass() before using Subs/Functions in Class2 or Class3?
At the head of a module, I wish to declare some global variables for use in various subs/functions.
What is the difference between.Dim x as string and Private x as string / Public x as string, and when would I use one over the other?
What I am trying to do is have a class where the functions of the same name are both instance functions and shared functions.
Public Shared Function Get...(byval xx as xx)
and
Public Function Get...
The Public Function uses a Property xx created in the constructor, whereas the Shared Function has the parameters (byval xx as xx).
This is very basic about the layout of classes, subs etc. 1. Should all my subs & functions always be inside a class? I haven't used classes too much before, mostly just a bunch of subs in a form file. Now I downloaded a sample program which I want to develop. This has all the code of the form inside "Public Class Form1": [Code] The code is an example of use of the ZedGraph library. It produce a simple window with one graph/chart. Now I want to develop this code with several tabs, a dusin different charts, file I/O and so on. I'm ok with most of the specific coding, but my question is on the general coding;
2. Should I continue my subs&functions inside this form? inside this class? inside a new class? Earlier when I've NOT been using class, I can make global variables by placing the "Dim" outside the subs. This does not seem to work within a class. 3. Should I avoid global variables all together, or how is this done without always passing arguments?
Also I will make more forms, for program options etc. 4. Should these forms be coded as classes? or just subs&functions in a form? Obviously I'm not well trained on the proper use of classes and have trouble to find this easily explained.
I have a number of unrelated subs and functions that do various things on my server (e.g. Lighting control, data caching, server maintenance, etc). They are all in various classes which I have coalesced into a single solution.My goal is to create a single, simple interface which each of these disparate classes can be integrated and called from a command line interface. Instead of hard-coding a longish case statement which parses arguments and passes them to the various subs, I wanted to make a generic class which can be instantiated with a minimum of information and put into a data structure. Ideally, adding a new function would involve:
1.) Providing the function pointer (Delegate). The delegates will have various signatures. This is the crux of the question.
2.) Providing ancillary info such as the command-line callable name, number of arguments, argument types, etc.
I have a 100% working class called "node" which is basically a hierarchical tree of node instances. I can use this to simply organize function calls in related branches. All is working quite well.NodeFunctionDelegate(ByVal args As String) As String.The node takes the arguments passed to it by the command line and sends it as the "args" string as comma-separated. The delegate function then needs to know how to split up these comma-separated values, type them, tryparse them and etc. It then must return some string.It works, but it involves writing a middle-man function stub which can receive the argument string from the node class, do the parsing and type checking, and then call the destination function.My goal is to eliminate this trivial middle-man function. The problem is, I can't figure out how to create a variable-signature delegate for the node class.
If you run this code you will see that the 500 PictureBoxes that are added ( this is easier to show than adding pixels as a pixel is only a single point ) fall mainly on the diagonal.With regard the RANDOM class, why should this be like this when the bounds of the instances are? >>
p.Location = New Point(x.Next(0, Me.Width + 1
), y.Next(0, Me.Height + 1 ))
as in this code.>>

When you refrence a Function like this one:[code]You may want to be able to get more out of that, like this.[code]So how would I be able to add subs or functions onto a sub or function like that?
View 4 RepliesI need set events on a class library and catch them in an form.
For example, I run a sub in the dll and I need "receive" the event that the sub in the class is running.
The dll is creted by me in vb, but i don't know how raise events on it to be catched in the form.
I have large group of functions that I would like to store in basically a library and simply call the functions from the controls on my forms. Back in VB 6 I would have done this with a module, but now I have been told that a Public Class is the correct way in .NET. How should I go about doing this?
View 2 RepliesI've createda vb.net class library where I've defined a number of small classes... nothing complicated, just working with strings, sending emails, etc.In another project, I reference the class library and I'm seemingly able to create an instance ofone of tclasses - intellisense shows me all of the plic properties, methods, etc... all looks perfect. No compile errors at all, nothing b gumdropsand lollipops.When I run the app I'm working on that references the class library, it fails at the point where I'm creating an instance of the class and gives me a vague exception, "System.TypeLoadException".

When creating a sub or function and adding parameters used when calling it.
-Is it possible to list the parameters that I can enter when using it somewhere in my code?
E.g.
Public Sub MessageMain(ByVal Message As String, ByVal MessageType As String (List of possible values for MessageType)) Same for example as when you have boolean values in a sub/function. As soon as you use that somewhere in your code intellisense will present you with True/False to select.
I'd like the same for parameters in subs or functions I create and calling them from somewhere in my code. Saves me the trouble of remembering which options are available for those parameters.
making a general functions class library that will be used in several applications and asp pages, sometimes running at the same time.I've looked at a lot of samples on the web and they all show you to create an instance of the classlibrary namespace or the classlibrary class.
IE.
dim obj2 as new mycompany.mynamespace.myclass
dim n2 as integer
n2 = obj2.somefunction(...)
What I did was create my class library and put a class in it and declared a function as sharred, then created my dll.I don't have to create an instance of it and I can use it like the net framework by just coding
n2 = mycompany.mynamespace.myclass.somefunction(...).
The net framework does this, I mean once I imports it I don't have to make an instance of it in every function.All the samples I've seen about class libraries do not use the shared keyword.
i have have a few questions about the syntax of the lan.:
1) What is the 'Get' statement and when do you use it?
2) Whats the difference between public, private, protected etc... when declaring functions and subs.
3) When would you use the overrides property?
The "named pipe" seems rediculous to pass data between processes (exe's). Is it possible to run a single instance of a VB.NET Class Libary (dll) such that two programs can access the same memory resident dll, thereby passing data via functions and or subs?When I try to make the class library as single instance, the "Enable Application Framework" is greyed out, and thus the option to "Make Application Single Instance" is also greyed out.When I try to call the dll from two processes, I simply just create two instances, so storing data in a module doesn't work

I don't mean to sound unintelligent, but is there a way to insert your functions and subs into visual basic and call them from and program made in visual basic? I don't want to have to put the code in over and over again.

Earlier I was working on a project, and I added a StatusToolStrip and the the ToolStrip I added a label and a progress bar. The label will say the current sub or function that is in progress and the progress bar will show how far along it is through the sub or function. I have tried this myself but I cannot figure it out as I rarely use progress bars.
An example of a code that I would like the progress bar to show would be like this:
Private Sub StopServer_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles StopServer.Click
'Checks to give server notice
If My.Settings.warningmessages = True Then
Dim cmd As String = My.Settings.warningmessagetext(2)
[Code] .....
So while the sub is running the label would say "Stopping Server" and the progress bar would show how far along the sub is.

When I code in PHP I usually keep my functions in a separate file functions.php, I am going to write a small function in VB, is it ok to keep all my functions and subs in the 1 file linke in PHP? will they be available in all my form code?
View 3 RepliesI am porting an app from VB6 and I run into problems with references to functions and subs. Basically, let's say I have 2 classes added to the project, like this.
Public Class OOOOO
Public Shared Sub BBBBBBB(ByVal FileName As String)
...
Call CCCCCC()
Call DDDDDD()
etc.
...
End Sub
[Code] .....
I had to make the BBBB() shared to be able to call it from another function AAAAAA() from another class PPPPP. However, I get error on the references in the BBBBB(), that CCCC() and DDDD() have to be made also shared (so instead of 1 error I got number of errors).
When I tried to make them shared as well, I got tens and tens of errors due to other references of both variables and functions.

View 1 RepliesI have an application that queries DHCP and pulls scope/subnet information. There are roughly 8k scopes on our network to query so reporting this data takes a little bit of time. I currently have this running on it's own thread and reporting to a progress bar so the applications doesn't seem inactive.
The DHCP api functions can report a total, a max read and a resume argument. This means that I can, in theory start 4 threads and have each thread read through 2k subnets, so it will only take 1/4 of the time to read all this data. Would I need to create four separate background worker handlers, do_works, runworkcomplete, report progress etc.?
