I have the following structure:
Public Structure objKeys
Friend Shared [rsaPrivateKey] As String
Friend Shared [rsaPublicKey] As String
[Code]....
How can I check if these two variables have the same data?
I have created a structure with some variables that I'm trying to update during the course of a sub routine but they are not updating, when I cycle though them at the end all the variables are still set to 0.
Imports System.Data

I have a structure type, as below
Code:
Public Structure StrFolder
Public isActive As Boolean
Public NameFolder As String[code]....
I would like to retrieve and print each variable name within a given structure (not its value). For example:
StrFolder(0).Name should print "isActive"
StrFolder(1).Name should print "NameFolder"
StrFolder(2).Name should print "URLIDNumber"
StrFolder(3).Name should print "DateOfFolder"
etc..
I would also like to know each type of an item within a structure. For example:
StrFolder(0).Type should print "Boolean"
StrFolder(1).Type should print "String"
StrFolder(2).Type should print "Integer"
StrFolder(3).Type should print "String"
etc..
In visual studio 2008, when I use something akin to the following snippet:
Dim myVar
all sorts of stuff that might initialise myVar '
if not isNothing(myVar) then
myVar = new Object()
end if
myVar.ToString()
visual studio warns me on the last statement that myVar might be uninitialised, and a nullreference exception could occur.To me it seems desirable to suppress that message in this situation.
Am I right in wanting to suppress that warning here, or am I overlooking something?Is it possible to suppress a warning here.Note that I don't want to suppress the warning in general, only if I'm sure it makes no sense here.
I found out that you cannot set the array size for a structure when you are making it, i.e
[Code]...
I have to fix this by making a variable with type made by Structure bullet and then redimming it, i.e
[Code]...
This means for every variable with the bullet type i create i have to redim. Is there a way i can set the size of .mesh with .capacity for every single variable created with the bullet type automatically?
In VB6 I can open a file for binary read/write and then use Put and Get to write Type structures straight to disk and subsequently retrieve that information straight from disk and right back into the structure. The syntax is pretty straightforward, and it works fast and without flaw.
In VB.NET I've tried the same thing. But in absence of a "Type" variable, I've tried using Structure ... End Structure, which should basically be the same thing.The problem is, though we can write the structure to disk:
Dim FileNo as Integer
Dim FilePath as String
FileNo = FreeFile()
FilePath = "C:TestFile.dat"
[code]....
I need to create an extremely large and complex structure that will be used in a whole slough of ways, and when all work is done I need to write that structure straight to disk using a binary mode. When that information is needed again, I need to be able to get it back just the way it was saved and continue working with it again. The basic outline of the concept is illustrated above, which works--as I mentioned above--flawlessly in VB6.
Im trying to load a price of an item from a prices file (Items). The variable (ItemName) is taken from a listox populated from the file on another form. And (Item) is the structure which i saved the prices information for into (Items).
What im trying to do is take the string from the listbox and change the textbox (txtCurrentPrice) text into the price for the highlighted item, which is also the name of the (txtItem) textbox.
However i cant find a way to reference the Item.(ItemName) to get the correct price from within the file, as ItemName isnt a member of the Items structure Item instance.
ChangeItemForm
Private Sub ChangeItemForm_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[Code]....
ItemName holds the name of one of the variables saved in the structure. So say if ItemName was holding "IridescentRoll" As its string I would be trying to find Item.IridescentRoll, which would show me the price of IridescentRoll which im trying to put into the textbox. and As Item.IridescentRoll = 3.35 it would display 3.35 in the textbox.
As you have probably guessed, the Item.ItemName doesnt work ('ItemName is not a member of...'
Is there any way to write this without having to create a new record for each item? As that would take a while, and im not sure i have the time x.X
I'm using a Listview in VirtualMode, so I can 'add' a lot of files almost instantly. A Listview in VirtualMode does not allow sorting, so I need to sort the data myself. The data is stored as a List of Structure (it's faster to load than a List of ListViewItem). The code below works fine, but I need to sort based on multiple variables in the Structure. Code:

Why then:
Dim header As New ContFileHeader

Basically I have a system that will take an unknown structure (that should be marked serializable) and attempt to serialize it to a stream. However, before the system will do that, I want to know if there's a way to check every single variable/property to make sure that all the types are serializable.Anyone know a way?
EDIT: For now, I was able to do this:
Private Function IsSerializable(ByVal obj As [Object]) As [Boolean]
If obj.GetType.IsSerializable Then

I am currently working on a program for my class. The user puts in two numbers into two separate text boxes and then my program takes those numbers and puts them through several arithmetic equations such as sum, difference, product, etc and displays them in a listbox. I have that part of it done. Now I have to make it so the users can only enter numbers ranging from 1 to 10 in each listbox. If they enter anything besides that I need a message box to show up telling them to only enter numbers between 1 and 10.

I'm working on an automated program, and it needs to check the latest email on a certain account (which will be passed to it) every 15 seconds or so. Setting up the timer and the passing to the timer the username and password is easy, but it's the reading the email that I'm having trouble with. How exactly can I read the first few emails from my inbox and put them in an array? And after that, how can I access the body and subject, for example email.body and email.subject?
View 3 RepliesI�ve written an app that downloads from the internet with my.computer.network.downloadfile mehtod. The problem is it�s supposed to try a numder of urls and if there�s data, it downloads, otherwize the url is wrong. The utl adress is a combination of date and a letter, which the program gets from a database. So for every date, it checks all the letters as suffixes until it finds the right one. However the wrong ones tend to time out or something, which takes forever and also causes some errors. Is there a way to check if a url is valid at all, instead of actually trying a download?

View 5 RepliesI seem to occasionally find myself trying to compare two List(of T) to see whether or not they contain the same elements. A quick check of the documentation shows the SequenceEquals method, but that appears to check whether the two lists have the same length, and have the same elements in the same order. I don't care about the order. I want to know whether two collections have the same elements. Doing this is not terribly difficult, and seems common enough, so I was expecting that there would be some function that handles it.

Basically, in my Tcp Library I'm working on, whenever the system is told to "Stop", the OnClientConnected() Routine fires off, which is only raised under two circumstances: When a Client connects (obviously) When the server is told to shutdown
Now, the first one is handled just fine. But the second one is not. In fact, it has caused me a great deal of headache because it keeps throwing exceptions on this line in particular:
Dim _tcpClient As System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient = _tcpListener.EndAcceptTcpClient(IR)
When I hover over while debugging, I can see a few members that reveal exception data I could utilize; but unfortunately those members are private and I don't want to utilize reflection unless I have to since it could slow down performance where there may not be a real reason to.
I have thought of writing in a Boolean check to see if the server received a shutdown signal and that would indicate that it's time to not accept anything, but I want to avoid that if possible.
Is there any way to see if the TcpListener is no longer accepting connections and has had .Stop() called without reverting to catching the ObjectDisposedException that is raised? (because the Socket that is "accepted" is actually a disposed one)

View 9 RepliesI have a checkedlistbox with numbers in it and I'm trying to load a list of numbers from a database and check all of them (they should all be in the checkedlistbox).
I was trying to do this by loading all the values into a separate listbox using my own subroutine (I know that part works) and then finding the corresponding item on the checkedlistbox, like this:
Dim ItemName As String

ItemName = ListBox1.GetItemText(item)
If CheckedListBox1.Items.Contains(ItemName) = true Then
CheckedListBox1.SetItemChecked(CheckedListBox1.Items.IndexOf(ItemName), True)

View 1 RepliesI'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
[Code]....
I have a byte array and I want to read it using a structure. This is a common situation with structured files having information in various places in the file and it's much easier to read the data if it's mapped with a structure. BitConverter would be great if it worked with Structures, but it doesn't. Basically, I want to read the same memory address either as a byte array or as a structure, or have a function that works like
vb.net
MyStructure = BitConverter.ToStructure(bytearray(), position)
Maybe there's a pointer method to do this?
I am trying to convert text in a text box (txtEventDate.Text) to a date type in a structure: ThisEvent.EventDate (declared as date). The text in the textbox is of the form: 05/18/1927 (i.e. May 18th, 1927) and after looking long and hard thru the forums attempting several different things, like:
'ThisEvent.EventDate = CDate(Format("#" & txtEventDate.Text & "#", "mm/dd/yyyy"))
'ThisEvent.EventDate = Date.Parse(txtEventDate.Text & "12:01:00 AM")
'Date.TryParse(txtEventDate.Text, ThisEvent.EventDate)
The code is commented out because none of them convert the string to a date value (I know a date does not have a format and I have looked thru the MSDN). How can I stay logged and composing a thread past some arbitrary time limit that forces a re-login?
