VS 2008 Some Hint About Structure?
Mar 13, 2010
Im triing to use structures.example
Public Structure Column
Dim ID As Integer
Dim Name String
Dim Birth As Date
End Structure
1) Is possible know how many element are in the structure?
2) is possible retrive the type of the data inside a structure? (Integer, String, Date)
3) is possible scan the element without use their name (by using an index as in the string) instead of use Column.ID=1 ? If the none of the questions are positive, what other stuff should i use that allow me to do that?

I'm having a problem that's driving me crazy; I can't understand how to convert the XML structure into a class structure (that I want to use to hydrate a XML document).
The XML document looks like this:
xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<artists xmlns:opensearch="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/" xmlns="http://www.spotify.com/ns/music/1">

1.) I would like to cause a Timer.Tick event in code. I know you can use PerformClick to cause a Click event. Is there a way to do the same with a timer?
2.) I have several "TextBoxes" listed as being on a "Form" but they cannot be seen. I have copied and pasted these during the design phase but have renamed the copies since. Is there a way to purge the unseen TextBoxes?
Hint: If you have "Windows 7", at the desktop, press <CTRL><SHIFT> and Rotate the Wheel on the Mouse. This will re-size the Icons on the desktop. "THIS ALSO WORKS IN THE VB2010 IDE" and allows you to Zoom the code window.

I'm new to VB 2008 after having spent a long time with VB6, so I apologize if this is a stupid question. But I'd really like to have this straightened out.
Let's say I have a pretty large structure that has lots of properties.
Code:
Now say that I want an internal database with about 10 instances of this structure total, describing, say, 10 different products that a store sells. When these values are loaded from a database, they remain totally static. (However, they can be different each time a program loads)
Now say that I have a class. Each instance of this class is a type of that BaseProduct structure. Meaning, each instance of the class pertains to one of the 10 types of products that the store sells. However, this class has additional properties that pertain specifically to each instance, which are not static.
Code:
Now, the problem here is... If I have 200 different transactions, each one contains an instance of BaseProduct. BaseProduct is HUGE, and is largely redundant (only 10 types possible), so I think it's a little silly to include a whole copy of it with EVERY transaction. However, the Transaction class really needs information regarding the base product it pertains to. Is there a way to, instead of declaring a New BaseProduct in the Transaction class, to simply make one of the properties of the Transaction class a pointer to a BaseProduct variable?
In VB6, I would accomplish this by making a BaseProduct(10) array, and then giving each Transaction an ID number referring to an entry in that array. But in VB 2008, using class structure, this is impossible. I can't define the BaseProduct(10) array outside of a class in a namespace, and if I define it in the actual application's form, then the class loses modularity since it relies on the application that's using it.

I am trying to communicate with an external device and i am trying to send a byte array to the external device via sockets but i am always getting a response the message size is too small so i am not sure what i have done wrong. Between the data type there should be no alignment present and all numbers are represented in little endian format. The char array is not null terminated as mentioned in the protocol specifications.
I have to send data based on a struct that embeds 2 other struct. So here's my vb.net code for the struct used to convert to byte array and the sending part.
Public Structure MESSAGETYPE_OIP_Login
Dim Header() As COMMANDHEADER
Dim UserName() As PSTRING

The Marshal.SizeOf obviously calculates a size of 76 and it works with the DLL function, but it leaves me with some bad feelings.

I am using Visual Basic .NET 2008. I have a module in my project and couple of windows forms. Now in my module I wrote -
Structure Transport
Dim Veh as Vehicle ' pointing to enum below
Dim GoAhead as boolean
End Structure
[code]....
What I want is that another form should be able to call my sub Select (declared as public) and pass enum data declared in Transport structure. VB allows me to do that if my sub is private but not if my sub is public. To overcome this issue one solution is to declare the enum in the form class itself. But for this I will have to do it in each form.

I have a question: How can I make a function or sub run inside a structure when a variable in this structure changes? As example I have this function:
Public Structure Texture
Sub New(ByVal TexturePath As String)
Me.Path = TexturePath
Me.Image = LoadImage(TexturePath)
End Sub
Public Path As String
Public Image As Image
End Structure
And somewhere this happens:
Dim t As New Texture("path ooldfilename.tga")
t.Path = "path o
ewfilename.tga"
I want it to automatically load the image when the "Path" variable changes. Is the only solution making an extra sub and run that? It would really decrease my code size if it changes on variable change.

I desperately seek for a code sample to serialize an array of structure elements to a XML. To serialize a simple object of a structure I used:
Private Sub saveEntries()
Dim FS As New FileStream(path, FileMode.Create)
Dim XS As New XmlSerializer(GetType(personEntry))
XS.Serialize(FS, entries(0)) 'serialize first entry of an array - success
FS.Close()
End Sub
Structure looks like this:
<Serializable()> Public Structure personEntry
Dim name As String
Dim d, m, y As Integer
End Structure
Private path As String = "data_file.xml"
Public entries(2) As personEntry
But how to apply this to an array?

Okay, I have a structure that contains numerous elements... mostly strings, one or two integers. I maintain an internal array of that structure. The structure contains ONLY data elements, no code.I want to save the data to a file. I know that I CAN use StreamWriter.Writeline()to put out a formatted string for each element in the array. But is there any way to simply open a binary output file and save each structure, one after the other? And conversely, to load the array again in similar fashion? Something similar to this in intent, though I realize the code below doesn't work.
[code]...
To repeat, I want to write an entire structure to a datafile quickly and easily, without having to save each member of each element in the array. And conversely, to read the data back in the same way for easy loading of the array.

I have several quesions about reading/writing structures from/to files.In a scenario when I open a data file having its own header and variable data fields I create a structure that represents a header consisting of 9 bytes:
Public Structure HeaderInfo
Public DataField1 As Integer
Public DataField2 As Byte
Public DateField3 As Integer
End Structure
I'm using this code for the time being:
vb.net
Public Function ReadHeader(ByVal FileName As String) As HeaderInfo Dim ReturnInfo As HeaderInfo Try Using br As New IO.BinaryReader(New IO.FileStream(FileName, IO.FileMode.Open, IO.FileAccess.Read, IO.FileShare.Read)) With ReturnInfo
[code]....
The first question is - can I fill the structure directly somehow? Some structures are very long and filling them this way will be tedious. For example, if I know the length of the structure I could read the needed number of bytes in a byte array and somehow marshal these bytes into the structure.I can use Marshal.PtrToStructure, but then I would need to get an IntPtr of my byte array. I use <Serializable()> attribute for my structure.

When I create the code to initialize the Sections array like this...
Dim MasterX as MasterStruct
Dim Temp as Integer
For Temp = 0 To 98
MasterX.Sections(Temp) = 0
Next
VS 2008 tells me that MasterX.Sections "is not an array or method, and cannot have an argument list."

I'm trying to implement for the first time a library. With the event sub "client_TickPrice" I want to update a textbox. However nothing happens to my form when the "UpdateLast" sub is called from there.? The code was originally inside a Module (not a class like now), and set up as a console application. Probably there is a problem with the way I wrap my code, i.e. use of classes etc. This program is supposed to receive realtime stock/futures price data. Is it still a good way to start this code with the form, or should I make some type of console application?
