I'm making the transition from VB6 (at which I was quite proficient) to VS2008, and I'm running in to a few 'snafoos' as I go. The most recent one (which I haven't yet been able to work out) is I'm trying to figure out how to pass a control (specifically a 'picture box' if that matters) to a function in a seperate class. This was pretty straight forward in VB6, but for the life of me, I can't seem to figure out how to declare the subroutine.

VB.NET is not letting me dance with both feet, or piss with both hands. I've got one foot and one arm tied behind my back at every turn. I want to use this statement in a function:
Return CType(Formatter.Deserialize(FS), DS)
Seems doable, right?
Function ReadFileStream(ByRef FS As FileStream, ByRef DS As Object)
Dim Formatter As New BinaryFormatter
FS.Position = 0
Return CType(Formatter.Deserialize(FS), DS)
End Function
Right? I mean, CType only accepts a class name as the second argument. I can't give it an instance of a class, or it croaks. Yet if I try to pass the class name as the argument to that function:
DataInfo = ReadFileStream(FileStream1, DataStruct)
VB.NET croaks on this, too, complaining that "'DataStruct' is a type and cannot be used as an expression.". It's used as an expression by CType just fine outside of the function. Does the VB.NET legislature provide a clause that allows for a 'Type' to be passed as an argument in a function? Writing all the supporting code ten million times to deserialize a file using CType ten million times in a large application will get very complicated and tricky very quickly. It should be handled by a routine so that any cases and adjustments that come up can be dealt with in one spot.
I have a function that requires a form passed to it. Currently im using:ByVal oThisFormA As FormIf I do this though, obviously where I require txtboxes etc from the form being passed in arent recognised. e.g txtSurname is a textbox on a form called frmCustomer I have, but unless I use byVal oThisFormA as frmCustomerI will just get an error txtSurname is not a member of System.Windows.Forms.Form
View 12 RepliesI have written a class library that creates a dll to pass data back and forth within the same compiled instance exe. Is it possble to configure this Class Library in order to pass the data produced in the first instance of an .exe to other instances exe programs written in VB.NET?
My first thought was to add a Module. Older versions used Declare Files. Is there something in the compiler that I should set where the variables point to a specific memory address, or something..., that makes the variable available to other VB programs running in a seperate instance?

I have returned to a project I started a while ago. I have a small members database showing basic info (Title, Forename and Surname) in a data grid view with all data populated from a SQL database. I have the dataset populated with all this info as well as other data through the use of relationships/foreign keys (Addresses and Telephone Numbers, etc)I have tested the relationships using a simple form which shows the correct addresses, telephones, etc for each user as you navigate through it.
I now wish to show just the datagridview on form 1 which is read only with the row select set to full row (I have done all this so far). I have also set up a second form which displayes just the relationship data.I want to be able to load the second form (with the address and telephone number data, etc) when the row is double clicked by the user. ie - if row 15 is double clicked on, then the second form should load the address and telephone number data for record 15.
Form1 is a Datagridview which is non editable. I want a user to be able to double click and open Form2, which will allow editing BUTForm2 is a list view and also had a binding navigator so I guess I cannot use dialogue? I do not want to simply just edit in a dialogue and save.Is there an easy way to get the record from Form1 and pass it to the controls in Form2 so that the correct record is displayed?
View 5 RepliesI am trying to pass data between forms on a double click operation. On Form1, I have a simple database with three fields (ProfileID(PK), Profile First, Profile Surname). The database has 10 records at present which displays all records in a datagrid view which is set to read only. I have the Selection Mode set to FullRowSelect to highlight the full row.Form2, is a form to Display one record at a time. This form allows editing and saving of changes.How would I go about coding in vb.net to firstly get the ProfileID from the relevant row and send this into Form2 to display that record for editing?
View 10 RepliesI've got a main form (Form1.vb) where I created some controls (with the Designer).I've created a class myTextBox, inheriting from TextBox, in myTextBox.vb.In the main form, I call procedures from myTextBox. The issue is, those procedures use values from the Form controls. So the class doesn't recognise them as initialised.What's the best solution for this?I think I could pass the object itself as a parameter but doing it on each call seems a bitredundant and it thickens the code.Is there any way to access the Form1 controls and objects directly from the myTextBox.vb class?
View 6 RepliesImagine a project with couple of forms and a module. Now as per my knowledge if i want to send some data from one form to another then :
- If I declare variable friend/public in a module then it can be accessed in the entire project (thus also between forms).
- If I just have to send data from one form to another, then I can call the other form's sub/function and pass value.
- If the pass value by reference then I can get new value only if its changed in that function.
Now what the issue is, I need to pass a variable to a form and in that form when user types contents in a textbox or makes other selection and presses OK button then it should return some values back to the calling form. Now how can I achieve this (without declaring global variables which will be accessible everywhere) ?

I have a question concerning some homework. Here is my answer:
Dim intResult As Integer
intResult= Square(4)
lblResult.Text = CStr(intResult)
Now, if I understand functions correctly, this statement should pass the value 4 to:
Function Square( ByVal intValue As Integer ) As Integer
Return intValue^2
End Function
...and assign it's return value to "intResult".

pass an array to a function, like the code below shows
Private Sub SomeFunction(ByVal PassedArray() As String)
For i As Integer = 0 To PassedArray.Count - 1
Debug.WriteLine(PassedArray(i))
[code]....
But is there a way to pass a constant array to a function in VB .Net, for instance in PHP you could write
function SomeFunction($array)
{
for($i=0;$i<count($array);$i++)
{
[code]....
So to reiterate: Is there any way to pass a constant array directly to a function in VB .Net? Is there any benefit in doing so? I imagine a few bytes of memory could be spared.
PS.SomeFunction({"some", "array", "member"}) ' this obviously gives a syntax error
It looks like passing a list's enumerator to a function "byval" is quite different than passing it "byref". Essentially, regular "byval" passing will NOT change the caller's "enumerator.Current value", even if the function advances the enumerator. I was wondering if anyone knows why this is the case? Is an enumerator a primitive like an integer, without an object reference, and hence changes to it don't get reflected in the caller?This function is byval, and gets stuck in an infinite loop, spitting out "1" message boxes, because the enumerator's "current" never advances past 5.[code]The difference between the two functions is only whether the listFirstItem__ function accepts a byval or a byref enumerator.

Trying to generate a Datagridview based on a query which is working fine.
Basic method is:
Create DbAdapter (MySQL) Create DataSet Fill Dataset with DbAdapter.Fill Set Datasource of DG to Dataset
Works fine, have used a commandbuilder to handle updating, inserting and deleting. Where this doesn't work is if I pass a MySQL function in my query, e.g.
SELECT FROM testtable TestID, SomeFunctionForward(someproperty), anothersfield
A quick check shows the field omitted from Update and Insert. How do I go about 'setting this property' so it will work on the query with the CommandBuilder. It needs to be done in inverse, i.e.
INSERT INTO testtable TestID, someproperty, anothersfield VALUES SomeFunctionBackward("somepropertyvalue"), "anothersfieldvalue"
