VB has a couple of native functions for converting a char to an ASCII value and vice versa - Asc() and Chr().Now I need to get the equivalent functionality in C#.
View 6 RepliesFollowing a recomendation from an expert, I removed the Microsoft.VisualBasic Reference from my project in order to "clean" the code and use only .NET. Almost anything I have been able to fix except I cant find the equivalent of IsNumeric or IsDate functions.
View 13 RepliesWhat I am trying to do is have a class where the functions of the same name are both instance functions and shared functions.
Public Shared Function Get...(byval xx as xx)
and
Public Function Get...
The Public Function uses a Property xx created in the constructor, whereas the Shared Function has the parameters (byval xx as xx).
1) Is it possible to access the Excel mathematical functions without actually opening Excel?
I was thinking of through a DLL WinAPI call or maybe a delegate function or smaller program?
2) Does anyone know of a MS link or area that gives instruction on "how to" use every function of every Windows DLL at all?
Or for all those that Microsoft have chosen to document online at least.
While converting types, I have found myself using both VB functions and BCL Convert.To* methods.
E.g.)
Cstr() vs. Convert.ToString()
CInt() vs. Convert.ToInt32()
CDbl() vs. Convert.ToInt64()
etc...
Are there any subtle differences that should be noted?
Is there a way to see exactly what the functions are doing. What i mean is there a way to see the class? I know what it does, i just want to know the code.
For example the function: Membership.FindUsersByName()
I'm redoing a program for my company and my boss wanted me to created the entire thing through functions...
For the task I wanted to know is it possible to have functions within functions?
Sort of like in C where we would have nested structures?
Its a FILE I/O, with robot commands, moves and verifications....
So I would find the line in an excel spreadsheet where it moves, the coordinate, put it into an array.
Take the actual results store them into a two dimensional array...etc, etc....
Another function would eventually compare the results with the moves, and within a tolerance.
When you refrence a Function like this one:[code]You may want to be able to get more out of that, like this.[code]So how would I be able to add subs or functions onto a sub or function like that?
View 4 RepliesI know that AndAlso is equivalent to && and OrElse is equivalent to ||. But what is the cleanest way to achieve the equivalent of Visual Basic's And and Or in C#?For example, consider the following VB.NET code.The ValidateForControl method performs some validation and returns whether the state of the specified control is valid. The entire input form is valid if all controls are valid. However, each control must be individually validated even if one is invalid (which requires the operator not to short-circuit). Visual Basic's And operator is perfect for this situation, but unfortunately there's no equivalent operator in C# as far as I know (&& short-circuits).

What I am trying to do is to check if a value matches one of two numbers (and easily be able to add to the numbers to compare to). Rather than doing a longer-winded way such as: [Code] I have found that this only works when SectionID is 2 or PageID is 8. If SectionID is 3 or PageID is 12 then it doesn't work. Why is this and what can I do to try to get around the problem?

I've got a large codebase which I'd like to expose to plugin authors to allow them to use VB.Net Express to code plugins for a server app, which is not available to them. My problem is that even with obfuscation, I'd rather not distribute the complete app and/or dlls, as even with obfuscation peeling apart a .NET assembly and puzzling out code is relatively easy to do. I'm interested in this because the licensor I obtain the code from requires me to protect IP and assets and while distributing .NET apps opens up the app to disassembly, keeping the server app private and allowing users to utilize a skeleton dll to code against is a happy medium.
What I'm looking for is some way or a utility to go through my server app source code and create a codeless version of the app which only contains method and property signatures.The intent is to provide a stub .NET dll for them to add as a reference and code against as if they were directly interacting with the server, without actually providing the server code to them, compiled or not. I can of course do this by hand but there are over 90 classes and hundreds of thousands of lines of code I'd rather not spend a week hand tweaking. Also, this presents a problem whenever new methods or code are added to the project. Finally, two separate projects is an even worse scenario.Because people will post suggestions that have little or nothing to do with the question, here's a short, clear example. I want to turn this class:
Public Class MyServer
Public ReadOnly Property Name() As String
Get
Return "Whatever"

I'm looking at some old ASP code that contains the following:
Set objDSE = GetObject("LDAP://RootDSE")
Set objSysInfo = CreateObject("adsysteminfo")
Set objUser= Getobject("LDAP://" & Replace(objSysInfo.UserName,"/","/"))
dtmValue = objUser.PasswordLastChanged
[code]....
This is for an intranet app that uses integrated authentication. Is there a replacement for the ASP adsysteinfo object? I can probably port most of the LDAP calls using System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry, but is there a better/easier way to do this in ASP.NET (VB.Net or C#)? how to convert the ASP object properties to DirectoryEntry properties?

Does C# have an equivalent to VB.Net's DirectCast?I am aware that it has () casts and the 'as' keyword, but those line up to CType and TryCast.To be clear, these keywords do the following;CType/() casts: If it is already the correct type, cast it, otherwise look for a type converter and invoke it. If no type converter is found, throw an InvalidCastException.
TryCast/"as" keyword: If it is the correct type, cast it, otherwise return null.DirectCast: If it is the correct type, cast it, otherwise throw an InvalidCastException.
EDIT: After I have spelled out the above, some people have still responded that () is equivalent, so I will expand further upon why this is not true.
DirectCast only allows for either Narrowing or Widening conversions on inheritance tree, it does not support conversions across different branches like () does.ie: C#, this compiles and runs:
//This code uses a type converter to go across an inheritance tree
double d = 10;
int i = (int)d;

i didn't want to trust this one to any number of online conversion websites that I often use.I don't need to convert the declarations, just the expression '(byte)((flen & 0xff00) >> 8)'in
