I have a custom class that has one property as a collection.For some reason XmlSerializer doesnt like the class having a collection property and the Serialize Fails!If I remove the collection property it works! Is there a special way of getting the collection in the class to work?

I get an exception on the "Dim ser" line, saying "Testing.Module1 is inaccessible due to its protection level. Only public types can be processed." ("Testing is the name of the application, and "Module1" is the name of the module; this is a console application).
I have the following class which I want to serialize to XML:
[Code]...
I wish to put the XMLSerializer behind a 'facade' class of mine so that user wont have to supply type info to the constructor. But doing this has a problem. Consider this class:
Class XmlFormatter
Private Shared xs As XmlSerializer
Public Function Deserialize(ByVal serializationStream As Stream) As Object
Dim o As Object = Nothing
[code]....
The problem is that the user of this class cannot use Deserialize without first using Serialize because the XMLSerializer instance is created in Serialize and it is shared. But using Deserialize without this instance will simply return Nothing.
I'm looking for a tutorial on how to Adding a list(of Class) or Collection as another Class's Property.What I am after is something like the Columns Collection for the DatagridView control.I would like to add Items in the graphics screen. Where the item list is displayed in the left panel and the selected Item properties are displayed in the right panel.
View 4 Replies[code]The reason that this is a problem is that this is a collection of EventBase objects, but I'm trying to populate it with child classes instead. For example, I might have a JumpEvent class that inherits EventBase, and this is being put into the EventBaseCollection. That means that value.GetType() returns the type of JumpEvent, which as you might guess does not equal the type of EventBase.The goal of course is to simply loop through all of the various events without having to know anything about the sub-classes. Is there a way to determine the type of the base class so that the OnValidate call will work? Or is this just the wrong way to go about it altogether?
View 2 RepliesI seem to have problem with passing a collection/sorted list/ list of strings from one class to another.I am using property procedure to pass it, however nothing is sent to another class. There isn't any error messages either.[code]
View 3 RepliesThe following code creates a Collection where every Item is assigned a value equal to the last item added. At the end of adding for example seven items all the entries are identical to the last one added, although each has the correct key
The parameter passed to the function - aCOA() - is a comma delimited string of three strings.
The code is as follows
Public Function myCOA(ByVal aCOA() As String)
Dim thisCOA As New Collection
Dim keyCOA As String
[Code]....
Is this a bug in the code or in the Collection Class. I have traced the operation of the code and all seems OK until the second entry is added at which time the first entry Item get the same value as the second entry Item and so on.
I have worked some with classes and collections in the past but seek some direction before I start on this project as to the best method to use.I will be reading 20,000 or so lines from a text file. partno, desc and loc Each will contain 3 elements to be collected and stored temporarily.There are 2 results that I desire that relates to selling of products
First Result: Sorted list of most used partno, desc
2,234 partno (most sold)
1,345 partno (2nd most popular)
etc.
2nd Result: Sorted list by specific loc., partno, desc
loc. 45 - 234ea partno, desc
loc. 45 - 143ea partno, desc
Maybe end up with the top 500 selling products in the list. This data will then be added to a dataviewgrid for printing and then deleted.So, to temporary store and sort should I use some type of collection or classes? I know how to fight my way to either but which would be the best method?
I want to be able to get an instance of a class based on two fields in that class. I was hoping to use something like a dictionary, because I thought indexing would be the best for performance. Should I just use LINQ or go back to a strongly typed dataset? Here's an example of what I'm trying to do[code]...
View 2 RepliesI have some nested objects arranged like this:
Process
Persons
Workflows
Tasks
So you have one Process. Then multiple Persons can be added to and multiple WorkFlows can be added Process as well. Multiple Tasks can be added to each WorkFlow but I need a way to tie which Person is doing each task. I basically need a way that for each Person added to the Process it, in it's constructor, assigns a Person.ID property that can then be assigned into each Task's PersonID property...
Dim myProcess as New Process()
Dim myPerson as New Process.Person()
myProcess.AddPerson(myPerson)

I decided to go back to the VB6 book, "Learn to Program Visual Basic Objects", so I can code it in VB2010. This has been a great learning experience. However I've run into a problem. I'm getting an error with a For....Each loop for a collection class. The error message states, Expression is of type 'China.Order', which is not a collection type." From what I've deduced the problem deals with an enumerator. I could be wrong.

I'm having problems doing a sort of a custom collection. The collection is Device Classes which is a collection of Device Class. My sort does not produce an error but the treeview control shows nothing. I am not sure what I am missing. I'm guessing just a simple sort won't work here but I don't know what I'm missing in my code. Here's the code that creates the collection
[Code]...
Simply sorting the treeview will not work because it throws off the display of related info for a given device in listview controls. The collection itself needs to be sorted before the data is added to the treeview.

View 1 RepliesI am moving from VB to C#. I am trying to loop through a collection class which is a collection of data classes but I can't seem to get the actual values out of the data class properties(find the correct code to do so). I have a method that loops through the collection class(Contacts) and saves each record(Contact). I am using reflection because my method will not know if it is Contacts class or a Customer class and so forth. Here is my code in VB(watered down)
Public Function SaveCollection(ByVal objCollection as Object, ByVal TableName as string, ByVal spSave as string)
Dim objClass as Object
[Code]....
The C# code keeps returning null. In my locals window I can see the proprties on the class on objClass and the value of the propery but I can seem to figure out how to access it through code. I used the DictionaryBase because that seems to closely match would I need to do. My data class(Contact) has a bunch or properties that match the field names in the database of the Contact Table. After I get the propInfo variable set I then set up my SQLParameter with the fieldname, datatype etc and then set the value to the propInfo.value.
Is there a way to change a base class type by Overrides or Shadows, or other meen?[code]...
In this example there is MyBaseClasswitch is the base Class, then ClassB that Inherits from MyBaseClass, and In ClassB I try to overrides the base property "MyColl" to change is type to a enum.
But it do not work, telling me that the base collection cannot convert to eCarBrand, blah blah blah
Is there other way to change base class type or other approach that a could use?

I prefer this one as I don't have an extra property to deal with. But I can find a way to initialize that that list with objects of RedCamry and BlueCamry. Is it impossible or is there another way to do this?
I am having trouble setting up these classes.I need to set up a customer collection class that has one function GetCustomer(ByVal customerNumber As Integer) As Customer..The customer class reads a file and returns 5 fields and x number of records.My question is do I set up the 5 properties (fields) in the Customer class and if there are 10 records that match how do I return the customer object to the customer collection class.

maybe I just don't understand the whole collection/index/thing.
