Access Objects By Using Their Names As A String, Instead Of A Object?

Mar 15, 2012

I don't know if I explained this in my title, this is what i want to do. (In VB on a active server page) I have 5 buttons called but1.....but2. Right now I have the following code to make them invisible

but1.Visible=false;
but2.Visible=false;
but3.Visible=false;
but4.Visible=false;
but5.Visible=false,

Is there a way to access the objects by using a string, example

for(i=i;i<6;i++
items("but"+str(i)).visible=false

Direct Access To Full String Representation Of Object

Jan 23, 2012

I am trying to log the contents of an object to a text file. If I do a debug.print of the object itself in the immediate window, it prints all of the values of the object's properties:

?mDb.DatabaseOptions
{Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.DatabaseOptions}
AnsiNullDefault: False
...
UserData: Nothing


However, I can't seem to access this as a string in code due to a type mismatch. I assumed I could get this information using the .ToString method, but all that returns is the object description with none of the properties or values:

?mDb.DatabaseOptions.ToString
"Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.DatabaseOptions"

Construct Object Names At Runtime?

Jul 15, 2011

Is it possible to construct the name of an object (in this case, a Panel control) at runtime?

What I want to do is change the Backcolor of one Panel that is a member of about fifty panels. I can get the string of the name from the Sender in a RadioButton CheckedChanged event. So what I want to do is something like:

PanelName = sender.parent.name & ".BackColor"
PanelName = Color.Red

(I realize that the syntax above is invalid. I'm just using it to try to get the idea across.)

I can do what I need with big, fifty-element Select Case blocks, but the code is so repetitive that I was hoping there was a more elegant way.

Display A List (Of Object) Which Has Single Objects And Child List (Of Object)?

Sep 6, 2011

Limited to using v2.0 of .Net framework (we use VB.net) due to environmental constraints on our servers.I've got an ASP.net webpage which pulls data from a webservice that performs checks on user accounts in active directory. Operators can check multiple accounts at one time using the web interface. The webservice returns a list(of AccountCheck) objects which themselves contain single properties like username, email address, and List(of AccountError) objects which contain multiple properties.[code]What I want to do is using some kind of repeater, create multiple panels or divs which contain labels showing the username, email etc, and a gridview which has the accounterror list bound to it to show all the errors. The users could be checking 2, 5, 7 accounts at once, and is dynamic.

VS 2008 Field Names Of A SqlDataReader Object?

Mar 2, 2010

I want to write a routine that loads a table (or query) and outputs it to a text file, with the field names in the first row.If I load the data via an adaptor class into a datatable, I can access the field names by something like DataTab.Columns(i).ColumnName.

As I only want to read the data from the table, using SqlDataReader would be more efficient. But how can I then find what the header or column names are? The following code fails with a message that the SqlDataReader class does not have a member called 'Columns ':

Dim sqlCmd As SqlClient.SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(SQL, Connection)
Connection.Open()
Dim Reader As SqlClient.SqlDataReader = sqlCmd.ExecuteReader()
Dim FName0 As String = Reader.Columns(0).ColumnName() '<==FAILS
Is there a way to find the column names of an SqlDataReader object?

Asp.net - Iterate Through Custom Object's Property Names And Values

Sep 1, 2009

I'm trying to create an export Excel/CSV function that will iterate through a custom object and first output the property names and then output the values. I want to use reflection only where necessary so I'm attempting to save the property names when I output the headers and then reuse them to print the values. Is this possible? I'm a little weary of using reflection in a loop but is there a better way?

There are issue with using WebBrowser late bind calls related to object/property names generation.For example:

Reflection When Object Contains Other Objects?

I am trying to create an object browser similar to what VS2010 uses for the quick watch window.

I can't seem to find the correct approach to be able to iterate the properties of these "sub objects".

Below is the just of what I am trying to do

Javascript - Accessing Elements Of JSON Object Without Knowing The Key Names

Here's my json:

Is there any way of accessing the keys and values (in javascript) in this array without knowing what the keys are?

The reason my json is structured like this is that the webmethod that I'm calling via jquery is returning a dictionary. If it's impossible to work with the above, what do I need to change about the way I'm returning the data?

Here's an outline of my webmethod:

<WebMethod()> _
Public Function Foo(ByVal Input As String) As Dictionary(Of String, String)

Release Inner Objects Of A COM Interop Object?

Jul 12, 2010

I have a managed class that uses a COM that looks like this.

[Code]....

Since I am using an unmanaged dll through a COM-Interob dll I am wondering if I need free the innerobj manually or if the gc is smart enough to do it automagically if I call ReleaseObject() My class implements IDisposable and I do the following atm: Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(myobj) Do I need to take care of releasing all inner objects that are created by the COM Object or not? And If I do have to do it, does the order matter (first inner then parent vs parent then inner)?

Will WCF Allow To Use Object References Across Boundaries On Objects

Apr 20, 2010

So I've created a series of objects that interact with a piece of hardware over a serial port. There is a thread running monitoring the serial port, and if the state of the hardware changes it updates properties in my objects. I'm using observable collections, and INotifyPropertyChanged.

I've built a UI in WPF and it works great, showing me real time updating when the hardware changes and allows me to send changes to the hardware as well by changing these properties using bindings.

What I'm hoping is that I can run the UI on a different machine than what the hardware is hooked up to without a lot of wiring up of events. Possibly even allow multiple UI's to connect to the same service and interact with this hardware.

So far I understand I'm going to need to create a WCF service. I'm trying to figure out if I'll be able to pass a reference to an object created at the service to the client leaving events intact. So that the UI will really just be bound to a remote object.

Am I moving the right direction with WCF?

Also I see tons of examples for WCF in C#, are there any good practical use examples in VB that might be along the lines of what I'm trying to do?

Accessing Objects From Within A Custom Object List

Mar 3, 2009

OK - for starters - I'm not even sure that the title of this thread accurately describes what I want to do - but I had trouble verbalizing it. So I will give this a try: In my application, I have a custom object, call it myObject. In addition, I have another custom object called myObjectList which is basically a List(Of myObject).

Up until this point, all of the functions that I have been working with in my BLL and DAL have been shared - I haven't needed a specific instance of my object thus far. I currently need to write a function that finds a particular myObject within myObjectList and returns to me myObject. I know that the List(Of T) has a find method, but from what I have read so far - I don't think it is what I want (doesn't it return true or false? -and also, do I need an existing object to pass to it to see if it is in the list?)

Sorting Objects In Arraylist By One Of The Object's Properties?

Aug 30, 2011

I have a group of objects stored in an arraylist. These custom type objects have a number of properties from their underlying class . I want to use one of the properties to sort the array. I cannot determine which Array.Sort method to use.

I want to sort based on an integer property. Virtually every example I can find involves sorting strings.

So, assume the Objects have the following properties.

Obj.name as string
Obj.ID as integer
Obj.Alive as boolean

The objects are kept in an arraylist called FriendsOfMine.

I want to be able to order the list by Obj.ID, both ascending and descending in value.
