What Is The Equivalent Or Workaround For A Typedef
Dec 22, 2011
I am coding a VB.NET application which heavily deals with a collection type. See the code below:
[Code]....
I have to type the above line for so many times. If I changed the collection type, then I have to make the change for all the instances. So if there is a way to use "a typedef equivalent", then I can get rid of all these problems. I tried with imports, but it is only for namespaces and it can't be used for classes.
Note: I am using VB 2008, windows XP. The application type is windows forms(VB). EDIT: I made some tries based on code_gray's below answer. This is the first try.
[URL]..But I can't design a solution. Could anyone try to help me out here? I know there are some workarounds to be found, but either the links are dead (check above link) or it's writter in a language I still can't read. Here's my code.
I have a legacy COM-component with an interface declaring a property like this (IDL notation):
[Code]...
This interface is implemented in a calling application written in VB6 like this:
[Code]...
Everyting works fine until I try to do the same in VB.Net. VB.Net refuses to compile code where a parameter of a property is passed ByRef. MSDN says VB.Net doesn't allow such parameters. Is there any way I could implement such a property in VB.Net?
I'm trying to integrate with an API that requires the "Date" header in a web request. As you may well know, .NET has removed the ability to append or even display a default Date header in your request, so I was wondering about a workaround.Here's the catch: you can't use TCPClients because I don't have "permissions" on my server for such a thing as sockets. Is there some way to "cheat" the system to fake a date header or to trick it into posting a Date header? Or should I just give up on this API?
I know that there is no DESIGN, DESIGN_MODE, DESIGN_TIME, etc preprocessor directive value. However, I need something that can do the trick. I can't use a normal If statement, because in my case I need to change the inherited class so that the control renders properly at design time. If not, I'll receive an exception due to the fact that the inherited class is an abstract class.Here's what I'm looking to accomplish:
Partial Class MyCustomControl #If DesignMode Then Inherits UserControl #Else Inherits WidgetControl #End If
I'm downloading a bunch of files from a URI but when they get big, I get an utOfMemoryException. I thought at first it was MemoryStream error but I'm pretty sure now that the error is rooted in the declaration of an array of Bytes that's too large. (Half a gig is fine, 1.7 gig is not.)
what's a Class, and Object, a Method, a property and thins like that, but I have this doubt:Let's supppose I have a class "Laundry" this class has (just for this example) 3 propierties:
1.- laundryID 2.- Name 3.- Washers
Id and Name are "primitive" types or simple types (integer and string), but Washers, represent a list of object of type "Washer", that has 3 properties:
1.- washerID 2.- laundryID 3.- capacity 4.- brand
All of them (for this example) simple/primitives types (integer,string,string).So this my dilemma, it is correct to have a constructor like this (VB .net)
public sub new(ByVal laundryID as integer) '' Here I'll query for the data of the Laundry on DB '' After that I will query for every washer that belongs to this laundry
[code]....
And inside of that constructor query for all the washers that belongs to the laundry with id=laundryID parameter, and create objects of type "Washer" and add them to the list of Laundry ?I'm not sure If I explain myself, any comment I'll be really grateful, in less words, what's the correct approach (or good practices) to work with class/objects that has properties which are complex (other class/objects).I usually work with ADO.net probably ADO/LINQ/Entity solve this thins in an transparent way, but if they do it I don't really know it.
Note: I'm familiar with VB.net, C#, PHP, so if you prefer explain/help me using examples with its syntax, it's ok
It's kinda overkill (i7, 8GB, SDD, W7 x64) for what I actually need but it is supposed to last for a few years.For maintenance issues I had to install Visual Studio 2005 and it turns out that "Edit and Continue" wasn't working . I found a thread here HTML Code:[URL] in which I read that E&C is not supported in 64-bit OS.
I'm trying to make a label transparent. When I set the BackColor to transparent, all it does it take the color of the form it's sitting on, i.e. It's not truly transparent. I've googled it and found this in another thread (from a MSFT MVP)".NET controls do not support true transparency. You can set their BackColor to Transparent (in some but not all cases) and the parent control will show through, but only the parent control. If there is some other control behind that is not the parent it will not show through. That's because the control is not truly transparent. It basically copies its parent in the area behind it and uses that as its background, but that doesn't include sibling controls that may be behind it as well." To me, this is completely unacceptable. Why even include the transparency option when all it does is set the control's backcolor to the form color? I'm trying to add a label over a progress bar to give my user some feedback (because the Visual Studio progress bar doesn't support text, which is also a horrible design shortfall by the way), and have yet to find a way around this.
I 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'm normally at home in C#, and I'm looking at a performance issue in some VB.Net code -- I want to be able to compare something to the default value for a type (kind like C#'s default keyword).
I am relatively new to Visual Basic. When it comes to logging, in Java I use log4j for logging.What is the equivalent in Visual Basic and can you please guide me to a good tutorial?
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"
What is the vb.net expression of this c# expression ?
Frame.GetController<ShowNavigationItemController>().CustomShowNavigationItem += new EventHandler<CustomShowNavigationItemEventArgs>(WindowController1_CustomShowNavigationItem);
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?
I have made an application in vb6 abd now trying to do the same in visual studio 2005. In vb6 i was using MSFlexgrid and its .Textmatrix properties. Would like to know what is the .Texmatrix equivalent for .net. When i pasted the code form vb6 i get the following error...
'TextMatrix' is not a member of 'AxMSFlexGridLib.AxMSFlexGrid'
