VS 2010 Structure Classes So That The User Interfaces Though A Single Class While The Supporting Classes Are Hidden From Their View?

Jun 13, 2012

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.

Possible To Create Interfaces And Classes In Design Mode?

Nov 16, 2009

Sometime ago I used to create all my class structures in vision before I wrote them. That however didn't last. I found it easier to just make little drawings with pencil and piece of paper. And I still do to this day. In code usually those drawings manifest themselves as interfaces which then are implemented by different classes. I do all this in code. And I was just wondering if there is any tools available in Visual Studio for VB.NET that would allow to create interfaces and implement them in classes (which a lot of times means just adding variables to class that will hold data passed with interface attributes) from design mode(kinda like using Visio only after you finish you don't have to write out code).

Singleton Classes And Interfaces : Unable To Get The Results

May 10, 2012

I am trying to create an interface and then about 3 or 4 singleton classes that would be accessed via the interface.I know how to get interfaces to work and I know how to create concrete singleton classes and access them via GetInstance(). But when I put the two together, failure results.My problem is in the GetInstance method of the concrete singletons as in

Public Class MovingList
implements ISelectedList

[code]....

ISelectedList is the interface. This fails because ISelectedList.GetInstance is not of the type MovingList. Plus there is a problem with the use of Shared that I think is solved by simply deleting it (interfaces implicitly share).I can't define the type of ISelectedList.GetInstance because each of my singleton classes is of a different type even though they implement exactly the same properties and methods.How best to implement such singleton classes? I could do away with the interface and simply deal directly with the concrete singletons but that feels like bad practice. Programming to an abstraction not an implementation and all that.

Implementing Interfaces On Classes That Already Have The Interface Members Defined?

Jun 25, 2010

So say I define some interface, and that interface has members that need to be implemented under some idea, and I then implement this interface on a class that already has those members defined. How do I NOT receive errors about having to implement said members despite them already being implemented (because I didn't type the oh so ridiculous 'implements IMyInterface.foo').

For example say I have an interface that defines the event KeyPress, and then I have a custom Form that implements this interface of mine. It throws an error. VB is the 5th language I've worked in that uses interfaces... and up until now they've all treated interfaces relatively the same. This is the first time I've seen this not allowed. What perplexes me more, is it IS allowed in other .Net languages. Just not VB.

Interfaces, Type Identity, Extending .net Native Classes?

Jun 18, 2010

So in a lot of frameworks there is usually some base type that you tend to extend a lot because well, it is what enables the "visual" aspect of the framework. Here in .Net it's the Control/Form... you tend to be inheriting these frequently for different things, and despite the suggestions otherwise, the team always agrees to extend explicitly and forget about composition.So now say you want to create some relationship between all of these... just a simple interface that uncovers some basic properties that all your forms and controls should have. In this case lets call it 'IProjControl'

Code:
Public Interface IProjControl
Property ProjControlId() As String

[code]....

So this interface is something you expect all your windows and dialog boxes and other some other controls implement. They all don't extend the same exact type, they all just happen to be controls.In there lies the problem... you want to enforce the contract with this interface that not only is it a 'IProjControl', but it's also a 'Control'. But we can't exactly have our interface extend Control (that doesn't make sense), and there isn't an 'IControl' interface to require implementing.

So the method I've always used is something like this:

Code:
Public Interface IProjControl
ReadOnly Property ProjControlComponent() As Control
Property ProjControlId() As String

[code]....

(if there is actually a language/compiler specific feature that allows you to require an interface implementation to be implemented by a class extending a specific type... please, do tell... but I highly doubt there is because for all intensive purposes that sounds weird).

IDE :: Create Classes And Forms Based On A Database Structure?

May 10, 2010

I am creating an Add-In that I want to create classes and forms based on a database structure. I can't find any information anywhere on how to programatically add code to classes. I know I can write out the files and add them to a project, but that would limit what I can do in the future. I would like the possibility to update a function in the future which would be impossible writing out a file and loading the whole thing back in. It would destroy any modifications made to the class, and since this Add-In will only be creating a framework, there will usually be modifications.

I got this line from the macro recorder:DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.text = strDACode

But I like to keep Option Strict on, and this is late bound according to the IDE. There seems to be very little help on the IDE and how to use it creating Add-Ins. If I overlooked something please point me there, but I can find nothing. I don't know if it can be done, but I was able to do it in an Add-In for VB6.I would also like to add controls to a form, so if anyone can point me somewhere where it explains

Classes Are Single/multi Thread?

Dec 17, 2009

i know that a single function could not be run until it has finished and is currently not running. what if i have 2 functions within a class, are both of them allowed to run simultaneously? or will running 1 of them prevent both of them from running until it is done?(assume that backgroundworkers and threads are running the functions of this class)

EDIT: plus what if a single function has multiple signatures, is it considered a single function or 2 different functions? could both of them be running at the same time or only 1 is allowed to run between the 2 at any one time?

.net - Inner Classes Building XML - Have Outer Class Put It Together?

Feb 25, 2011

I am trying to create a class whose end result is do create an XML document. Currently the class consists of nested classes that each build a section of the XML document. What I am hung up on is how I should tie the results of the inner classes for the final output.Should the outer class pass an instance of XmlTextWriter to each of the inner classes that build up specific sections or should each innerclass just output a string representation of the XML and the outer class can piece them together?

[code]...

The code is not complete but I hope it gives an idea of what I am trying to accomplish. I need to find a way to gather XML sections together to output as a single document.

.net - Monitoring All Events In A Class And Sub-classes

Apr 25, 2010

I'd like to be able to log to the console every time an event is fired either in the object I've instantiated or in anything it's instantiated [ad infinitum]. I wouldn't see some of these events normally due to them being consumed further down the chain). Ideally I would be able to log all public and private events but if only public are possible, I can live with that.

I've Googled and all I can find is how to monitor a directory - So I'm not sure if this is not possible or simply has a name that I don't know.

The sort of information I'm after is similar to what's found in an exception - Target Site, Source, Stack Trace, etc...

Could I perhaps do this through reflection somehow?

To Give you an idea of the console App:

Sub Main()
Container = ContainerGenerate.GenerateContainer()
Dim TemplateID As New Guid("5959b961-b347-46bc-b1b6-cba311304f43")

Class SELF That Is Hosted By A Couple Different Classes?

Jan 16, 2010

I have a class SELF that is hosted by a couple different classes. Basically, the hosting class HOST calls a method in SELF. SELF is passed HOST as an argument in the constructor, so SELF can call methods in HOST. In normal situations, a call to HOST will do something minor, then return so that SELF can continue. However, for one particular type of HOST, one of the calls from SELF to HOST will cause HOST to call SELF, and so on ad infinitum. A classic, though convoluted, case of recursion. Once again, this is only going to happen for one type of HOST. For other types of HOST, that particular call will not cause HOST to call SELF, so there will be no recursion. Nonetheless, there is no getting around it in one case.

I can see two means to decouple the recursion, and I am wondering which one (or a third) would work best:

1) Add a timer into that particular HOST so that the call from SELF that would trigger the recursion would actually just start the timer in HOST, then return. When the timer ticks, HOST can call SELF. The recursion is broken because the call to SELF is done on the timer event, and not when SELF called HOST.

2) As it happens, HOST makes the first call to SELF in a background thread, which means I don't really need to worry whether this thread blocks or not. Therefore, I could have this background thread spawn a second background thread to make the call to SELF, then have the initial HOST thread JOIN on the second thread. This means that the initial thread will block until the second thread finishes. Meanwhile, the second thread will call HOST, and the HOST won't call back to SELF, it will just return like all the other HOST objects would do. This will allow the second thread to run to completion. When the second thread completes, the first thread will take over and call SELF again on a new second thread. Therefore, the recursion is broken because the secondary thread will always run to completion, and the primary thread will wait for the secondary thread to complete, then call it again.

I tend to prefer the second option, because the first option involves a pause of some length (the minimum for a timer, which is pretty small), while the second doesn't, but the first option is actually a little easier to implement.

Instance A Class, Based On Other Classes, Add New Properties?

May 26, 2009

You know how everyone says "C++ is like C with classes"?How similar is it to .NET classes? instance a class, based on other classes, add new properties, override existing properties, etc?Are the variables strongly-typed and declared before they are used? Or is it a Duck-Typing language like Python?

Also, does it have its own Garbage Collector that disposes of objects when the pointer exits their scope,or do you have to manually clear and get rid of them when you finish with them? What's the difference between native C++, and the "managed C++" in Visual Studio? Because I'd prefer to use native code if its not too much harder. for the sake of all that is good and holy, don't use ACCESS, EXCEL, or a TEXT FILE as a database. If you want your program to use a "local database", without any of the hassle of setting up a MS SQL or MySQL server, just click this link: >>> SQLite <<< Seriously. This is for your own good.

Create A Class To Deal With Records From The Classes Table?

Dec 5, 2010

Create a class to deal with records from the Classes table, much like the Student class we created in Lecture #17 handles Students records. The name of the class should be Ualb_Class (note we cannot use Class, as it is a reserved word in VBA). All of the fields should have corresponding properties. There are few considerations:

The class (course) code, department code, and course number are set at Initialize, so there is only a Get property method for those

The property for Meeting Day only accepts one of the values defined in the table. You can decide whether to accept an integer value or a string value of the days represented.

You are also to code the Initialize method, much like we coded the Initialize method for the Student class in Lecture #17. In the Initialize method, you will use the InputBox function to obtain the department code and course number. use a different InputBox for each value, so you don't have to mess with separating the single text value returned from that function. The Course Code will be obtained by using a function that has already been created, called GetNewCourseID. It has no parameters.

TABLE: Classes
Field Name
Data type

Surrounding My Class With A Namespace Cause All Other Classes To Stop Compiling

Jan 26, 2012

I have a large web app in vb.net 4.0. Its default namespace is configured in its project properties. None of the root-level classes in our app are surrounded by namespace declarations. When I add a .asmx file to the root folder of the website, it compiles fine, but it doesn't work for some reason (already asked why in other topics). So to get it to work, I try to surround the class declared in the .asmx by a namespace declaration. As soon as I do this, I go from zero compiler errors to about a zillion. My app can't find ANYTHING in the root namespace. But I haven't changed any other files, only this .asmx file.

WHY is it behaving this way? How do I prevent it from behaving this way without refactoring the entire app? I would love to blank out the default namespace and add them explicitly around every root-level class, but I'm not sure that would fly with our release manager, and I don't even know if it would fix the problem.
