This small snippet of code is to increment a count value (integer) which is stored in a dictionary using my referenced object as a key. When the dictionary is small, multiple lookups aren't a big deal but this particular dictionary can get quite large.
Private RefCount As IDictionary(Of ILifeTimeManaged, Integer)
......... CODE HERE.....
Private Sub IncrementRefCount(ByVal entity As ILifeTimeManaged)
Dim prevCount As Integer
''# if we have no reference entry, add one and set its count to 1
[Code] .....
I find a corresponding dictionary entry then increment the int stored in the value, or add a new dictionary entry. Is it a bad idea to use a pointer to the dictionary value? Then I can avoid the second key lookup when I already have gotten the value. How would you implement it? Is this even possible in .NET4? Can I do it using IntPtr do you think? [URL]
RefCount.Item(entity) = prevCount + 1
I am having some issue here, and I am not too sure how to handle it. If you could lead me in the right direction

I have had several occasions recently to access a specific class several times over a relatively small time frame.So I've been storing the value of the class in Session and trying to access it on page load, if it's not available creating a new instance and storing that in session.
So instead of constantly replicating the same code for different classes on different pages I'm trying to create an extension method to do this for me.
[Code]...
I'm stuck on what to do when I make my new instance of my class (it would have to have a New() sub)
I'm not sure where to go from here... or even if this is the best way to do it.
I am trying to create an Excel file using reflection. The reason, the application will be running on many machines some of which may or not have excel installed.

How can I declare pointer to pointer in ATL. Actually I have a handle which I want to pass by address to function. As shown below
STDMETHODIMP Function(HANDLE* hHC) //HANDLE declared as void * so actual type is void **
OR
STDMETHODIMP Function(LONG **hHC)
And want to access this function from the VB client.

I'm passing a type name and some parameters from C# code into a navigation framework written in VB. The navigation framework looks for a constructor on the type that matches the parameters passed in using Type.GetConstructor(Types()). The constructor that I'm looking for expects an array of integers Integer() in vb. But it gets an array of System.Int32. I've gone so far as to try this:
[Code]...
And the VB code still sees System.Int32 on the other end, which means that it doesn't find the constructor.

View 12 RepliesI have been looking into delegates today, have come across them a few times but haven't understood them. I started thinking today that a Delegate is like a Pointer (for those who don't know a pointer is a reference to a location used in C++ and other languages than VB) So how much of a pointer is a delegate? what can a delegate do that a pointer/pointers cant?
Similarly does anyone else agree with me that all .NET languages should be able to do the same things, why cant i use pointers or logical shift operators in VB.NET? Would you guys think that being able to use code from any .net language within your code would be advantageous?
I'm calling an API that returns a string pointer but I can't find anyway to return the string it points to.
Is it possible in VB.Net, I see VB6 had a STRPTR function but I can see a .net alternative.

I am getting a really bizarre error and it makes no sense at all.Basically I have a user entity which has a Password property. This property is of Type Binary, the server data type being Binary(512).I am reading this value in and converting it to a byte array. However whenever I run my code I am getting a completely unrelated error of Unable to cast object of type 'System.Guid' to type 'System.String'.This strikes me as very odd since I am not using a property or variable of type string or GUID anywhere in this procedure where it falls over.
The code is below:
Public Shared Function ValidateUser(ByVal username As String, ByVal password As String) As UserValidationMessage
Using db As New EntityMapDataContext
Dim u = From user In db.Users

Code: Dim dom As New DOMDocument30 dom.async = False
dom.Load(serverAddress & "/App/filelist.jsp?type=content")
For i = 0 To dom.childNodes.item(1).childNodes.length - 1 downloadfile(dom.childNodes.item(i), mcount, currentpath) Next
The above code is activated upon clicking of a button. i have the server address declared. and using the domdoc to load the jsp file to generate the xml data. and using for loop, i call the download file function which accepts the following parameters
Code:Public Sub downloadfile(ByVal domdoc As Xml.XmlNode, ByVal totalcount As Integer, ByVal currentpath As String)
The totalcount and currentpath work fine, but when i pass in the dom.childNodes.item(i) , error pops up.

View 1 RepliesI have just started to try to duplicate what I have done in Autohotkeys language.
What I need to do is point to a string variable - I will explain.
I'm reading from my own asci font files that contain big letters made up of characters, used for chat forums: EG.
[a_ch]
___oo___
__o__o__
_oooooo_
[Code]....
What I then want to say is a_ch=letter. But it is in a loop, so I can't do it directly. I want to point to lettername which contains the string of the variable name.
How can I point to the address of lettername?
In autohotkey language, it would be easy:
%lettername%:=letter
