VS 2008 Declaration Of Variables Vs Properties?
Jan 22, 2011
I have several classes that use a bunch of strings for directories, arguments, etc.
At the moment, they're all just declared globally within the class like so:
VB.NET
Private str1 As String = "path"
Private str2 As String = "path2"
Private str3 As String = "arg"
To me, that looks awful and doesn't seem like the proper way of doing things. So, I was thinking, should I make a property for each string and then use a constructor to initialize them?
Would that make a difference at all? Is that the proper way of doing things?Also, some strings are used in a ton of different places and they're basically just being copied from one class and pasted into another. So, do you think I should do what I suggested above, but with a class whose sole purpose is to house those strings so that the code isn't duplicated a million times everywhere? Would that be the most efficient way of doing things?

Why are static variables set equal to 0 in the declaration when 0 would be the default value of the numeric variable anyway when it's first declared? Not including the "=0" in the static declaration seems to work with no problem.

I am creating a kind of a "naive" search engine.What I have done is distributed words in files where each file corresponds to the starting letter of the words (i.e. if its English, then 26 files are there)Then when the search system loads I am loading all the words in hash tables (26 hash tables corresponding to 26 alpha-characters) for which I am using an array of structures.The problem is after declaring the variables in a Form load subroutine, the variables are not able to use those values in other subroutines..How do I properly declare them so their values persist?

basically i was wondering if we could inherit shared variables but restrict its scope to only that of the class itself.
Class A
Public Shared shared_variable as Boolean = true
End Class
[code]....
when i do this A.shared_variable = False, B's shared_variable also becomes false. how do i stop this?i cannot remove the Shared keyword because shared_variable should be able to be accessed without an instance of the class?

Why use simple properties instead of fields in C#?
If I have a class, does it matter if I use a Variable instead of a Property? I mean, unless I need something to run during the get/set time period, does it really matter?

I am programmer from some time only, I have certain doubts in fundamentals, could you please clarify on the following:Case 1:
[Code]...
Does case 1 and case 2 yield same result, I mean is a private value necessarily in there?, can we use property itself to use its own value in its Set and get statements?

i was wondering if we could assign variables into the values of attribute properties like say:
<System.Xml.Serialization.XmlType(namespace:="Result" + x)>
where x is a string with value "qwe" so basically we get the output:
<System.Xml.Serialization.XmlType(namespace:="Resultqwe")

Ok so my boss told me that I can't use DataSet's and dataadapter and such like this because it isnt good for scalability. So, I must change the way I have my 28,000 records binded to my form. The problem is, I'm only 3 months in with VB.NET and I don't know of any other way to accomplish what I need to do. I was reading somewhere that I can use a Class as my "Order" and I can bind the variables/properties to the form and with this, I can navigate through records while having controls on each important part of the "Order". Unfortunately, I don't know what I'm doing, this is as far as [code]Any guidance as to what I am to do from here in order to pull the data from my database and bind to the property, then to a text box/combo box, and a way that I can use my binding navigator to go through the many records.

I have a bunch of private variables I've typed out and I want to put all of my corresponding Public ReadOnly Properties in a bunch below them.Is there some way of copying ten lines of
Private _myVar As String
and pasting in ten sets of
Public Readonly Property MyVar As String
Get
Return _myVar[code]....
I'm currently copying the whole bunch of variable declarations, Find+Replacing Private _ into Public ReadOnly Property then going line-by-line expanding the definitions and writing return statements.how to avoid all this nonsense in the future, as I'm developing on a virtual terminal server, and the input lag on my little copy/paste/type operations on the code is driving me up the wall.

Last year (2010) I came across a FANTASTIC command that allowed me to take a string of variables with a common delimiter and break it all back out into separate variables (possibly an array) with one statement.
[Code]...
As long as the delimiter was a unique specifiable character, this one-statement command could break it out into elements. my memory and point me in the right direction.

I've implemented the localization in my windows application with no problem for the label or command button which have a fixed text.
My problem is related to the label which text is merged with some variables or object properties.
E.g.: vb label1.text = "There are " & myDataGridView.Rows.Count.ToString() & " items"
So, how can I set (if it's possible) the localization for these labels? I've this kind of assignment in modules and not in the form. It's possible to set a resources file also for modules?

Here are the error message:
Error 3 Type 'objExcel.Workbook' is not defined.
Error 4 Type 'objExcel.Worksheet' is not defined.
Here are the coding that generated the error messages:Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
Dim objExcel As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application = CType(CreateObject("Excel.application"),Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application)
Dim objWorkBook As objExcel.Workbook = CType(objExcel.Workbooks.Add, objExcel.Workbook)

I have code, shown below, that works all except for 1 thing: The variables being passed byRef get passed, but once modified in the else section of the "if me.invokerequired" code of RecordData, the variables are never updated in the calling function. To reiterate, the calling function does not receive the updated data that is in the variables custid and amt.When debugging, I see the data change in the else section of "if me.invokerequired", but once it returns from the callback the data is missing.[code]

I define some global variables of a class as follows:
Private Class MyClass
Private var1 as Decimal
Private list1 as List(Of string)[code].....
But I found that after this form is closed, all above variables, var1, list1, list2 still exist in memory. I thought they should be collected by gc since the form is already disposed as I confirmed.
Add: I have monitored half an hour after the form is closed. But these variables are not collected by gc. I have an automatic update procedure on the form which uses above variables.Since the above variables still hold values, the automatic update procedure is always called which causes exception. (One quick fix is to check if form.isDisposed in update procedure. But I do not think this is elegeant. Besides, these variables occupy memory.)

Does the memory used in declaring variables are reclaimed by the OS when these variables go out of scope?Does the memory used be released by setting thier value to nothing? if not, then how can I force the garbage collector to run or excecute at a certain/desired time..How about in Windows Forms..How can we make sure that the memory used in initializing and showing forms be released if those forms were closed?

Question 1: What is the difference between "Background Worker" and "Worker Pool" as indicated within the MSDN samples provided.
Question 2: I noticed while using, AddressOf _Function_, variables cannot be passed; what would be an efficient solution to this?
Question 3: While using multithreading is it required to invoke before setting variables, or only form properties?
Question 4: While using System.Net.Sockets is it safe/efficient to use Application.DoEvents while waiting for new data; or would be using a Do While loop be fine without DoEvents since the action would be multithreaded? Note: there can be up to 2000-3000 sockets in use at a time.

I'm making a control and I am trying to finalize my design time properties grid. I have several List(of Class) items as public properties and when I click on the design time menu (while testing the control) there is the word "Collection" and a button with an ellipsis (...) that brings up a neat pop up with the buttons Add/remove and all of the public properties of the collection's class on the right hand side. Basically for a non-collection instance of a class (with public properties) I'd like a similar button to show up. I know I could put all of the properties in the main control class and group them, but I like the pop up box feature. Anyway to duplicate this? (think font grid item etc.)

In the form design I set up a TableLayoutPanel, 20x20 cells and in cell (1,1) a PictureBox (called Target) containing the image of a small target. The properties box for Target shows some very promising properties, Column and Row - and if you overwrite the values in the properties box, the PictureBox obligingly shifts to the corresponding cell position in th design. However in VB it is not possible to refer to Me.Target.Row or .Column - neither appears during coding in the menu of properties, and deliberately coding either of them produces an error like
Error 1 'row' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox'.
1. Why does the properties box show properties that cannot be altered programmatically?
2. How can my program move Target around in the TableLayoutPanel?

I'm working on a Hazardous Materials label printing program. One of the options is to do an "NFPA" label. Since there are 4 values required with 4 or 6 options, the ratings are entered via radio buttons in a group box. That's working okay. I display values in the NFPA diamond as they're entered: left quadrant blue, top quadrant red, left yellow, bottom red. I'm having trouble with the label in which the rating will be displayed on top of a jpg diamond for the white. In this quadrant the text can be up to 4 characters. I can accept the text going into an adjacent block a little, but the corners of the label overlap into another quadrant/color. I reduced the font size which solved the overlap problem but the font is then too small and looks terrible. I tried to make the background of the label transparent to let the color come through correctly but that's not a valid value for label.background. I'm figuring that the transparent background is the best solution. What can I use that will accept a transparent background so the color shows through?
I'm trying to set the transparent property via label properties properties, not via code. Here's the code if it makes any difference:
Public Class NFPA
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Close()
End Sub
