I have put together the following code to illustrate the problems I've been struggling with:
Public Class OuterClass
Private _OuterProp1 As Boolean = False
Public Property OuterProp1 As Boolean
[code]....
I need to be able to refer to outer class properties and variables in an inner class, and I need to have a variable in one inner class set in a different class. I've tried Public, Private, Protected, Friend and all kinds of combinations of them, and I can't figure it out.
How can I structure my classes so that the user interfaces though a single class while the supporting classes are hidden from their view? I think its best understood in an example:
Public Class MyInterface
Public Economic as EconomicClass
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
[code].....
So you might ask why am I even separating them? It's strictly for others who will be working with this interface. I need to funnel them though a logical structure:
interface.Economic.MyMethod
interface.Currency.MyMethod
etc
This way everything is already handled for them in the background and they only need to run the method they need. I don't know if I can have it both ways in VB.NET.
Here is some example code of what I mean:
vb
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender as Object, e as systemEventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

View 2 RepliesCan i write 2 classes for one Script Task editor in SSIS(2008). I tried to access the global variable like below. I created 2 classes and it doesn't show any compile error, but i couldn't access the global variable in class2 which was assigned as 2 in class, ScriptMain.

Say that i have the following code that parse about 20k records from the DB.
Code #1
vb.net While reader.Read()
list.Add(If(Integer.TryParse(reader(0).ToString, 0), Integer.Parse(reader(0).ToString), 0))
End While
And then another code which does the very same thing but it seems to be a little cleaner.
Code #2
vb.net While reader.Read()
Dim storeowner As Integer = 0
Integer.TryParse(reader(0).ToString, storeowner)
list.Add(storeowner)
End While
This is what i am confused about; does the compiler creates a new variable automatically when i use the if statement without strictly declared variable? What approach is better in sense of performance?
Say I have something like this
Dim Level1 as Integer = 83
Dim Goal as String
Goal = InputBox(" What level is your goal?")

For the time being I have been using a Structure to store "people" (their name, gender, age, etc...), because I really love to refer to something like Mike.name or Caroline.age, so I could simply put Caroline.age += 1 anywhere in the code and here you go, Caroline is one year older. No more simpler.But because of how inflexible (compared to Classes) Structures appear to be, when I needed to iterate through all the instances I was forced to use a list or dictionary so I could use a FOR EACH ... NEXT block. That was resolved by you people in the previous post, but I'm having the problem that I couldn't use the elements of the list to change the original instance of the Structure proper... I mean, if I code something like this...
For Each thisperson As Person In peoplelist
If thisperson.name = person_selected Then
'person_selected is the SelectedItem.ToString of a listbox[code]....
Well, I thought that thisperson.teamleader and Mike.teamleader were going to be equivalent (when the IF statement was true, that is) but that doesn't appear to be the case. So right now I'm really hating Structures...But when I look into Classes... well, they have more flexibility, yes. You could construct a FOR EACH block without any other trick like the "on-top" list, and that it's very useful indeed, but (a big "but" IMHO) I lose that NICE feature that makes possible to write the name of one of them instances like Mike.age or Caroline. kills
I mean, if I wanted to add a year to Mike, well... there is no "Mike" in the first place. A "Mike" string could be a property for the class, but I cannot (or know) magically refer to him with the ease of a Structure, so when I want something so simple as Mike.age +=1 ...well, with a Class I'm simply clueless to how locate him and change ANOTHER property of him.I suppose I am doing something very wrong, because I cannot believe VBasic could force on you those two extreme philosophies...:
Classes = +flexibility -usability ???
Structures = -flexibility +usability ???
What I want to do is SO simple that I cannot believe I need to choose between the two.
I need some help with how to organize classes in VB.NET. I have a class called parent with methods for adding, deleting etc. But I also need a method that returns a list of all the parents, a list with parent objects. Where do I put this method? Do I put it in the parent class or do I need to make another class called parents?

View 2 RepliesFor a class project (online course, no instructor handy to get a quick reply from -_-) we are to write a short program using classes and OOP to roll a pair of 6-sided dice 1000 times and count the number of times the total of the two dice is 7. Easy enough, and I've read over a few examples that people have written, but they don't seem to use OOP. I'm not asking you guys to do my homework for me, but I am terribly lost when it comes to using OOP. So far I understand that I should be using a Random() class object to determine the roll itself, and then maybe load each roll into an array and use a loop to check if each element is 7 or not, and then increment a counter? How do I set the range of Random() so my dice rolls are representative of a 6 sided die? It's all a bit overwhelming and I'm not sure what I should do next.

What are the best ways you guys recommend to search the MSDN Code Library. I know there have been several instances in searching for ways to do something, doing a long workaround, and finding out later that there was a built in class that handled the problem that I was working on much simpler.
So what are some of the ways you guys use to find tools, classes, etc. when coding. Or are you just that awesome already.This is kindve just a general tips and tricks question. Sorry if Im in the wrong forum mods.

I have a MDI application and a very complicated class there which populates its properties from a dataset derived from an external database. Each form, including child forms have to be able to access that class and use its properties thorughout the whole session.I don't know where to 'preserve' these property values within the application. I kmow many books etc. suggest not to use public variables but I really can't find a way to solve this other than to use a public variable (which is a list(of my custom class) in this case.
I have a separate class called PublicItems.vb and declared there my public variable as
Public Shared secuniverse As List(Of myCustomClass)Is there something wrong with the syntax because if I try to use the variable secuniverse in my main application class, I get the following exception:'sectoruniverse' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.
