I have created a class (pasted below in case I did something wrong) for which I want to create an instance that is usable across forms/modules. I can create an instance of the class in a single form/module no problem via DIM User as New User but how do I go about create a public instance accessible from all parts of my program?

Yesterday I opened Visual Studio (2008 v 9.0.30729.1) and all the winform classes in my project display with class module icons with the little 'VB', instead of form module icons with the little form icon!
When I double click on a form module, the form designer doesn't open, just the code module.
When I run the project, it runs fine. There are no errors. The project builds fine.
I did Project --> show all files, and I can see the designer and resx files below the form module which doesn't look or act like a form module.
I can't open my forms to design them!
I want to create some reusable code in my forms.The idea is that a class is growing when more subroutines are added so, I need to store the finished subs somewhere to make place for others, this way I don't lose myself searching through the entire class
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to see if the microphone on a PC is working correctly by utilizing the SpeechRecognitionEngine class.I'm using the following
VB.NET
Dim RecognitionEngine As New SpeechRecognitionEngine(New CultureInfo("en-US"))
'Dim synth As New SpeechSynthesizer
'synth.SpeakAsync("Microphone")
[code]....
When I run this code, the microphone runs until it detects a sound. If the room is silent, it never stops. At least so much as I can tell so far.But I need a way to detect when it can't detect a sound within a specified interval.I looked on MSDN and all I could find was a property called, BabbleTime. I can specify a TimeSpan that will time out the speech recognition, but from that, I can't determine if it was the timeout that caused the code to continue or if it detected sound.
I want to create a class that will "search" for something. Basically I load up the "search item" when the class is created and inside the class is logic to do the "search". The result of this logic will be more "searches" that I want to start. How can I have the logic in the class create another instance of the class itself?
View 3 RepliesI am fresher in vb.net but I need some samples on structure which contains fields,method,property and events and if some one help me regarding private,freind, protected freind type class etc. In addition to that I know how to create class and modules but i don't know where I create structure and how etc.
View 1 RepliesI was a VB6 programmer. And back in the day global variables, functions and subroutines were put in a module. The program started in the module using a sub named Main(). Now in vb2010 it looks like using sub Main() is possible only for console apps, which is not what I want, I'm still trying to write a windows app but it looks like everything has to go at the top of the starting form?? How is this good coding practice? Shouldn't public vars and functions be in their own module?What is considered best practice?Are there any links that would walk me through the differences between vb6 and vb2010?

How do I do this? Do i create a class and create a instance of CarData? but how do I add Color and Year etc to it?
I don't know how to do this and I've googled this to death.
View 2 RepliesI know you can globally declare a structure so every class knows it.But I have a class named "WPNConnection", but I was wondering if you do like.Public WPN as new WPNConnection but so every class in the whole project could access it. It's just annoying having to raise events to get back to the class holding it, or finding the main class and finding it declared there.
View 2 RepliesI am working on an ASP.Net 3.5 solution that I did not originally build. I added a class file named Incident.vb to the App_Code folder like I always do.But in my code behind of a web page, I usually create an instance of a class like:
Dim oIncident as New Incident
But after I type "New", normally I would see my class file he intellisense but I do not. So it does not seem to be able to find Incident.vb. I have not seen this behavior before. Trust me, my class is correct. I have created many class files like this.[code]...

View 2 RepliesI understand if i was to create my own class i would need to declare a variable with the new keyword to create an object to access the encapsulated methods properties etc, unless they were declared shared.
dim myVar as myClass = new myClass
But in this next example is where i have become confused. i have added the mschart control to the form and used the hittest function with the following code.
Dim myVar as hittestresult
myvar = me.chart1.hittest(e.x,e.y)
Why wasn't it necessary to create a new instance of the class 1st. Does the hittest function return an object or a reference pointer to the object. To clarify what's the protocol for when & when not to create a new instance of the class in use.
I have an application that reads another processes memory.I initially had multiple scanning threads for the various areas I needed to read.This was processor intensive so I decided to go with the observer pattern.All was well except that I am having a weird behavior.Here is what is happening.I have 2 radars (overlay and mapped)Both have a watcher class that attaches to the memory scanner and is notified on a new list of mobs.so I open radar 1 (mapped) it attaches it's watcher to the scanner and waits for mob list update notifications
Open radar 2 (overlay). same thing happens and another watcher is attached.all is well and good so far.Now there are properies on the mobs in the list, one of which is IsFilteredOut.This property is set in the radar code after it receives the list. Now the weird behavior is that no matter what I do, the second radar to be opened changes all the properties of the mobs in the list of both radars.It is as if I am passing the list by ref, but I am not.I actually create a new instance of the moblist class every time I pass the list.Here is the notify code. As you can see I create a new instance of the moblist class each pass.
Private Sub NotifyMobListUpdated(ByVal Mobs As List(Of MobData))
If Mobs IsNot Nothing Then
For Each w As Watcher In _watchers[code].....
As an ameture developer, I've never really used classes. However, I've been reading about using classes and automatic properties. I have therefore created a class which looks similar to this:
Public Class Quote
Property QuoteNum as integer
Property AccNum as String
Property Price as Decimal
End Class
The stumbling part for me comes in the way of letting form2 know which class form1 has initialized. There are in this example 3 forms to this wizard. If someone starts another wizard whilst half way through the first wizard we need to keep the variables seperate hence using the class. I think I'm along the right track, but maybe confusing myself a little.

I am trying to create new variables inside a class after creating its object at runtime. The problem is that I don't know the variable names or the value beforehand so I have to create the new variables at runtime.

This is a more elaborate explanation of my code. If you observe that in the Eval function I have tried to evaluate Fval(abc). Now the object array abc is not declared in the Test class because it existence is not known beforehand. What I want to do is create an object array abc of length 2 and populate it with some values and when Fval(abc) is called then then the value of index 1 should be the return value of Eval fucntion.
I'm creating what I believe is an mdi app.I have a login form.I have a class for security.My login form creates an instance of the security class. There are all kinds of security parameters for each user (permissions to different things, etc.)These parameters are part of my security class.Once the user logs in, many other forms will all be opened and closed within the main mdi frame.All of these other forms need the information of the security class to know what the user has permission to do.Do I have to create a new instance of security class for every form in my project? Isn't there a way to store this stuff globally somehow. Retrieve once from the db at the start of the app during login and just get it from this global area everytime?

View 2 RepliesI have a class inside a class.I need to expose the properties of the 2nd class to other classes, therefore it is public.However, I do not wish other classes to be able to create instances of this 2nd class, it should only be instantitated from its parent class.I thought I could resolve this issue by making the constructor of the 2nd class private, but this even prevents the parent class from instantiating its child class! How can I work around this, do I have to make the constructor public and allow anybody to create an instance of the class?

I want to read a number of items from a file and then associate each of those items with a new button at run-time, so that when the user clicks one of the buttons I can display some information about that item.Can I use a LIST to manage these buttons and items? Can I create a new class and have each list item of that class, such as 'btnID', 'btnText', etc... ?
View 2 RepliesI have a frm_Main, which starts a thread. The thread then goes and calls a module, which has a thread.sleep() in it. This causes the mouse to freeze up while it sleeps, despite being called by the child thread. I thought this would have be on the thread time-slice? However it is causing my form to freeze for the sleep duration.

I am loading forms into a TabControl creating a new tab page each time the form is loaded. ** I would like to point out that I am using UC instead of a from**
Now, I can easily have many tabs with the same form loaded. On the form I have a 'Search Button' So my question is, after clicking the search button how can I tell which instance of the form the 'Search Button' was clicked? Hope this makes sense

To me the answer to this question will be stupidly simple, but I cannot find it. I want to generate child forms to do simple tasks from my main form. I want to be able to create and destroy these child forms as I use the main form. I decided to create a class of the child form, with its own constructors and destructor. When I tried to do this using the Class Library Module, I could not access the Windows.Forms class to create a form.

As I work on solution 'A' I devise a class and save it in solution A's folder. As the class develops, I now find a need for it in solution B.
How can I move it from solution A's folder to my Common folder then link it into solution A and B.
Currently I am doing this manually, Moving then linking to it. Is there a way to do this withing the IDE
