Variable Scope When Using Forms VB2008?
Mar 11, 2010
where I should declare my variable when using forms and the scope in my test code.
In my code below I have declared variable x in my form1 which can be printed in form2.
But when I create a structure in form1, initialize an array of the type protorec and try to assign values to cards(1).firstname etc... I get a "declartion expected" error.
Why does it work for x but not for cards(x) my array of records?
Public
Class Form1
Public Structure protorec

Here's what i have in a class known Create_User:
Public Class Create_User
Public conn As New SqlConnection(My.Settings.HotelConnectionString)
Public usercmd As SqlCommand

How can i increase the scope of these variables to be used in another class? I dont want to keep declaring them again and again.

I'm moving from VB6 to VB.net and there are a few things confusing. In vb.net, your program just automatically has a form, now the form in in a class and so it may or may not be there. In vb6, the main subroutine controls program flow and I don't see that in vb.net. However, my biggest problem is that I have a com dll that has a connect class with events. I need to be able to access these variable outside of that class. I don't understand how to do that. I can't seem to declare public withevents outside of the class and in the namespace so it can be shared with other code. Its say "not valid" in Namespace.
So what is the best way to do that. Do I create a set/get property for the class that holds this value? And, if I do that, is the connect class automatically instantiated as a part of the COM dll? Right now I don't instantiate the connect class, I assume the application does. But I'm not sure exactly how the property of the class would be set...perhaps I would need to call the property set from the on-connection method. Anybody know what the answer to these two questions are and this 3rd one? How can I have a variable that has "events" have scope across the entire project?

I have a public variable which seems to be going out of scope. I am confused as it has been dimensioned as a public variable: Public xlCell as As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Range
I originally had all my code in the same module in the same project and it was wrapped within a For/Next Loop (Example 1). I decided to clean up my code and make it more modular (Example 2). All the code is still in the same module in the same project.
Upon doing so, my public variable is not recognized in any of the private subs that I have created. I keep getting the following error: Message="Object reference not set to an instance of an object." When I test the variable using ?IsNothing(xlCell) in the Main Sub I get False in the main sub. this tells me te variable is recognized. However as soon as the Call SelectCaseSub() is triggered, I get a True value for ?IsNothing(xlCell). Why is this? Shouldn't this variable be in scope regardless?

I'm trying to create a simple media player that will scan a directory for certain filetypes, add them to a playlist then play a random playlist entry - changing every x seconds.I figured this would be simple in VB and, to an extent it was. I have the code running that chooses the directory and plays the random file.I just need to now make this repeat every 30 seconds or so.I have all the coded attached under the sub for the 'open' function of the player so it's quite flat. I think I need to use a timer here, to trigger the routine to pick and play the media every 30 seconds?In doing this I think I need to break the variables out of the function I currently have as they need to be shared between the timer loop function and the central 'creating file list' function.
I'm having trouble - I'm no coder (as you'll tell!) and although getting this far was easy I'm now (I think) bumping into threading / variable scope issues which are a bit of a brick wall.I've tried making the variables public / global by declaring in the class rather than the sub but I get errors at runtime. Presumably because of how I'm creating the windows media objects? [code]

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.

I'm working with legacy data, which often brings me one information splited in multiple columns. I'm trying to reproduce the following SQL query.[code]This own statement will run into the following exception:Variable 'line' of type 'SomeTable' referenced from scope '', but it is not defined. Any directions? I'm trying to avoid magic strings, but I'm always giving up to it (as using HQL the concatenation expression + like function works like a charm).

I have some code and there are 2 errors which I don't understand I have tried all sorts...
1)The type for variable 'Index' will not be inferred because it is bound to a field in an enclosing scope. Either change the name of 'Index', of use the fully qualified name (for example, 'Me.Index' or 'MyBase.Index').
2)Function 'GetNewPhrase' doesn't return a value on all code paths. A null reference exception could occur at run time when the result is used.
I can't get it to work..

This program was created with vb6 to find and remove empty folders. i converted this program to VB.NET code and it isn't working like it should.. it seems to stop scanning at 'C:\documents and settings' instead of scanning other folders in other directories...Does this code look right? I can provide the entire program if needed... I just want to know why it isn't scanning like it should. Btw im switching from vb6 and trying to learn vb.net.. vb.net is a lot different..
Private Sub ScanForEmpty(ByRef vFolder As String)
Dim nSize As Integer
System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents()
If bExit Then Exit Sub

I get this message at the bottom:Warning5 The type for variable 'FolderObj' will not be inferred because it is bound to a field in an enclosing scope. Either change the name of 'FolderObj', of use the fully qualified name (for example, 'Me.FolderObj' or 'MyBase.FolderObj').

I have programmed in VB before (vbexpress 2008) and used "formname.show()" to open and show new forms that I wished to open. I try the exact same code in vb10express(beta) and get errors! Did the code change? I cannot find any information on it if it did... or is it possibly a "betatest error" that needs to be addressed?

Question: how I would code this into a WFA? (I have console application code that works but need to convert it into a GUI).

I have a VBA form in Microstation I am using to try and help automate a task. The only problem I am having is I am reading a textbox (Filebox.Text) and setting it as the variable (FN). It works, because I used Msg.Box (FN) to test it. However, in two of the lines of code, I am trying to use (FN) to pass the typed in filename to the command to run in Microstation. Unfortunently, it gets passed on as (FN).dgn instead of the actual filenale typed into the textbox. Is there a way I can make the variable actually seen as a variable? Code on Pastebin: url....Also, not sure if this is the right section, 100% new to VBA, coming from a world Bashed together.

When I declare a variable as public, shouldn't it be available in another form? I am trying to write a windows mobile prg with 12 static mileage points, form1 has the 12 buttons for start point, but when I call form2 with the destination points, my start variable value is not carried over. I intend to then assign a mileage based on the two points and write to file on mobile device. We support 12 schools, and I want my employees to track mileage easily.
Public Class main
Public start As String = "start"
Public dest As String = "dest"
Public miles As Decimal = 0

I have one form, which the user enters upto 5 websites then clicks go - I have on the second form, the one with the webbrowser. A timer which checks if the web browser is busy then either a green light or black image will be shown along side the assocaited input box on the first form.I am finding it impossible to feed variables into the clock through ByVal, like I would a subroutine or function.
Private Sub ActiveMe_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ActiveMe.Tick
If ((WebBrowser1.IsBusy)) Then
Hey.BackColor = Color.Black[code]....
'Error message says Hey is not declared, as i can't pass it through to timer
The variable Hey is determined by the first form - Which picturebox.I have an if statement which simply says if inputbox one has url enter then Hey = Picturebox1, If input box2 has url entered then Hey= Picturebox2 etc.What I want is the timer to check the page has completed loading or is still loading or refresing and the appropriate green or black to be shown aside url input box on first form.I considered using a sub or procedure to act as a clock (a large for loop with another for loop within it, acting as a delay). But found this slowed down theapp to the point of crashing it.
