I have written a ActiveX DLL in VB 6 which is like -
[Code]...
When I do this everything works fine and I am able to pass value to dll. I am passing two structures arrays and other single values like int and double etc. So far so good. But when I insert this code in another application (created in same vb.net 2005) where I actually intent it to use then i get the following error -
System.Runtime.InteropServices.SafeArrayTypeMismatchException
Specified array was not of the expected type.
I am puzzled as to why is this happening. I checked basic settings and they are same. In short the code works if i create a new project and go on but does not work and gives error if I insert in an existing application's code where i wanna use. To test I created a dll without passing structure arrays and then it worked in that application.

I've written a vb.net application to populate a Crystal report and output it to PDF. The problem is that every text box in which I have the letter "t" is being printed out to the PDF as "tt". eg, instead of "customer", it prints "custtomer". The design time layout is perfect. And this only happens with text boxes on the report; value fields that contain the t character print out correctly.

I have a structure called 'Scheme' and in my program I want (ideally) an ArrayList of 'Schemes' (so i can add, remove schemes etc.). However, within the 'Scheme' structure, I want to have an ArrayList of 'Item''Item' is another structure. Are there any solutions out there for iterating through these arrays quite easily?
How can I easily add multiple Items to a Scheme and mutliple Schemes to my Scheme array. Code is below. When I try to add Items to a Scheme, I get the 'Object not set to a reference of an object, try the 'New' keyword', but you cannot declare 'New' keywork within a structure.

I have a function to do edge detection that works fairly good with one pass and without using a convolution filter. The only thing is that it will shift by one pixel the resulting image when I runt it from top to bottom and from left to right. I can live with that. Just a curious thing that I got when I ran it several times in a loop to see the effect of applying it several times on the resulting image.A deformed image appears at the beggining and then, bit by bit it splits appart and after shifting it the width of the original image I get a double image. I wonder how the computer keeps track of the first image and is able to separate the two after several iteractions.I know that in electronics you can have several signals in a circuit and you can separate them with frequency filters, or you can simultaneously download several files with the same modem aand the two computers will synchronize each one, but this surprissed me.
Here is a simplified version of my function
Private Function Preview(ByVal Thumb As Image) As Image
Dim bm As New Bitmap(Thumb)
Dim X As Integer
Dim Y As Integer

I have tried with more complicated images and with larger sizes, but to make upload smaller I includes these two images of simpler and smaller size. A view of the GUI and an animation of the process:reload to see the animation.

And whenever I click control-b (on keyboard) it inserts the bold tag twice.why does it do that? i use to have that code in a button, and the keyboard event would lead to button1.performclick but now when putting the button code in the keyboard it adds the tags twice
I read in the Book "Mastering Microsoft Visual Basic 2008" about "User-Defined data types".The example given is creating a Structure as follows.I wanted to check that so I wrote all the code given; I used a TextBox and a Button for this.(I didn't include the "CheckDate" here; that is in the book)
Structure CheckRecord
Dim CheckNumber As Integer
[code]....
The problem is this does work.What I get is "00000". and I found out that the "Checks(4)" Array does hold any value ie: on keeping the cursor over that, it shows "CheckAmount 0.0, CheckNumber 0 , CheckPaidTo Nothing ".
I'm attempting to create a list of structures that contains a list of structures. I can't seem to figure out how to properly allocate the object for the inner list of structures. I expect the outer list of structures to have a couple thousand entries and the inner list of structures to be fairly small at 2 to 10. Both lists will grow over time but the number of elements within the inner list will be constant for an instance of the outer list. Meaning, if an instance of the outer list has 2000 entries each of those will have the same number of elements on the inner list, say 4 entries.
Here is a simplified code fragment. This fragment makes no attempt to create the instance of the inner list "StructBlist" since I can't figure out where to put it. Tried "New List(Of StructB)" in the declaration as well as "Alist(0).StructBlist = New List(Of StructB)" but neither works.

Is it possible to declare a new list inside a structure.
I'm trying to get a list of structures that each contain a list of points,

I'm currently doing this project where i have to create a program that let's the administrator manage students (and their tests.) I have decided to use Random Access file in this project.because structures will need fixed lengths...i don't know how will i search through the students (a function of the program) when each student structure has a different length because of the number of tests they've done.* I have created a variable in the aStudent structure so that i can know the number of tests a student has done...but don't know how to use it.

I am currently working on a project for myself which looks through employee's information to find their availability to work. I've tried making a structure which holds the employee's information but I can't think of a good way to create different instances of it and store information in it at runtime. I'd prefer to load the information in at startup and not have to declare each employee and information. I am very new to Visual Basic 2008 but I have a good grasp of arrays from C and C++.
View 3 RepliesI know that Structures are value types and classes are reference type, i know that since structures are stored in stack they are faster to use i also understands that structures can not use the Inheritance concept but still in most examples i see i always see that the authors use classes when building something like BBL library, if structures is light-weight compare to classes and i don't need it to be inherited should i use structure instead of class?is there a rule of when to use class and when to use structure ?

i want to add a function like this inside the structure
I have a Structure, and I am having trouble initialising it. Specifically when I try to populate the Vector3 variables, it tells me that they are Nothing, so I need to make them New when the array of this structure is declared.[code]Structures cannot declare a non-shared 'Sub New' with no parameters.I have no parameter to supply, and this will be an array so I'm not even sure how I would supply it.The second option to fix the error is to make the Sub New shared, but then I get other errors: Cannot refer to an instance member of a class from within a shared method or shared member initializer without an explicit instance of the class.Does anyone know how I can resolve this. My end goal is to have an array of this structure type with the Vector3s ready to use.
View 6 RepliesI have created a collection of structures. Each structure, of course, contains fields.
Lets say something like:
Public Structure clientStructure
Public ID As String
Public firstName As String

How can I access a field of a particular structure using for.... each?
That is, how can I retrieve out of the collection (lets say item 5's) firstName, using for...each?

I need to have an Array of UDTs(Structures). Elements have to be added (at end) and removed (from anywhere). The different values of the elements need to be changeable.
I know how to implement it as an oldstyle array, but wouldn't it be better to implement as a List ( of T)? and if yes is such a procedure possible?[code...]
It says that I can't have structures as optional arguments.That's really annoying for my program. Isn't there any way to circumvent this?

I have an interface IDigitalState defined as
Public Interface IDigitalState

What I wanted to do was declare a variable as a nullable type of IDigitalState. I understand why I cant do this because the interface may be implemented by a class which is not allowed to be nullable. Is there a way to define the interface so that it can only be implemented by a structure.
