How dan I dynamically create some public properties on a custom webcontrol.
For example, web control has 5 TextBox controls. I need a public property for each TextBox control to be able to set a specific property of the TextBox control.
I want to be able to loop the controls in the webcontrol and create a public property for each TextBox control.
Is it possible to dynamically create properties, something like this method in a class:
public sub addproperty(byval property_name as String)
I'm trying to make a very simple audio tag editor. The idea is that the user can select as many audio files as he likes from a ListView, and a PropertyGrid will then display their tags + their values.When multiple files are selected, I want the property grid to display the values of the tags that all files have in common, and display empty values for tags that the files do not have in common.As an example, look at the properties list in your Visual Studio IDE when you select multiple controls (of the same type for this matter). Select a few Button controls, for example, and notice that the properties whose values are the same (often things like Font, ForeColor, etc) are displayed. Also notice that the values for properties that are not the same (Text, Name, etc) are empty.
View 17 RepliesThis seems basic but here's my problem. I am trying to build my connect string as a public variable that will connect to either an express version of SQL Server or a non-express version. The app.config defines it as being express or not and is modified to the user's choosing when it is deployed using the a firstRun routine.
The problem is that even though I'm modifying the value of the variable SQLexpress when the app is initiated which in turn should modify the value of the variable g_strConnectionString it doesn't. The value of g_strConnectionString will always take on the initial value of SQLexpress. I know I can define 2 separate variables for the connection string but I'd prefer not to have to change all of the references throughout each of the various programs in this system as they all have the same issue.
So in the following load event I've traced it and when it sets globals.SQLexpress = "", I then look at the value of g_strConnectionString and it still contains "SQLEXPRESS". It seems I need to somehow force vb to refresh this variable after it's been changed.

I've tried searching... a lot for the answer, but as I'm not too sure what exactly I'm trying to do I can't seem to find anything. I'm trying to write a dll in order to handle errors thrown from a vb.net app. In the dll I need several forms (I'm not totally sure if they can have forms - I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to dll's) for which the user can type in their message about the error and submit it.

Within my application i have a PUBLIC customer class...
Public Class Customer
Public Name As String
Public Surname As String
End Class
Then i decided to use LINQ to SQL within my application.After adding the MyDatabase.dbml class, errors showed up since LINQ creates public properties too
<Column(Storage:="_Name", DbType:="NVarChar(50) NOT NULL", CanBeNull:=false)> _
Public Property Name() As String
Get
Return Me._Name
End Get
Here are some errors..'Name' is already declared as 'Public Name As String' in this class.'SurName' is already declared as 'Public SurName As String' in this class.
Ok. Thats logical. But what is the best-practice i should use in the future? I would not like to use the Name and Pluralization options mentioned in ScottGu's blog or rename the properties of my Customer class.
Is there any point in using a property (rather than a public variable) if it just says:

I am trying to create a Public Sub / Function that will allow me to pass certain variables into it and this will affect the output. e.g.
DIV ID = InfoDiv
CSS Class = "Warning"
LBInfoMsg.Text = "An Error has occured"
DIV Visibility = True or False
I would like to type something similar in the code behind page:
InfoMsg(InfoDiv, "warning", "An Error has Occurred", True)
Public Sub InfMsg(ByRef MyDIV As System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl, ByRef CSS As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Style, ByVal strMessage As String)
strMessage = strMessage.Replace("'", "''")
MyDIV.Attributes.Add("Style", "warning")
MyDIV.Visible = "True"
End Sub
I have to make a VB project for one of my college Co-Sci classes. However, I am having issues doing what I think is logically possible. Part of our project entails creating a user defined class, then create a form that then instantiates an instance of the object type. After that we are to list the item in a listbox. That is all well and good and works fine.
What I need help with is looping through each object in the listbox, getting some data from the object, then moving to the next.
I have been trying something similar to c++. For example, an object contained in a c++ array can be accessed like this:
array[index].someObjectMethod().
How would someone do something similar to that for objects contained in a VB listbox? I imagine it starts something like this:
myListBox.Items(index).
I have a bunch of private variables I've typed out and I want to put all of my corresponding Public ReadOnly Properties in a bunch below them.Is there some way of copying ten lines of
Private _myVar As String
and pasting in ten sets of
Public Readonly Property MyVar As String
Get
Return _myVar[code]....
I'm currently copying the whole bunch of variable declarations, Find+Replacing Private _ into Public ReadOnly Property then going line-by-line expanding the definitions and writing return statements.how to avoid all this nonsense in the future, as I'm developing on a virtual terminal server, and the input lag on my little copy/paste/type operations on the code is driving me up the wall.
At runtime, I have a collection of rows (Row class). Each of them consist of column values, represented by instances of a ColumnValue class. The name of the columns are determined at runtime, and are in a separate columns descriptor collection (Column class).I want to create a DataGridView that displays all Row instances. Of course, the DataGridView's columns shall be exactly those specified by the Column instances in the containing collection.But since DataGridView's columns can fetch their values from a list item's public properties only, and I cannot easily define such a property at runtime, I cannot use DataGridView to display the tabular data.
' Classes for table structure representation
Public Class TColumn ' describes my columns

ok basically i was trying to make a Control that exposes its protected properties to the public. example, you could call the protected DoubleBuffered property publicly. the problem is that this class called ExposedControl must be compatible with the type System.Windows.Forms.Control, meaning i should be able to create an ExposedControl using an existing Control so i had something like this in the constructor.
Public Sub New(ByVal control as Control) Me = control

Can one client call a public property within a VB.NET module and see the value of that public property changed by another client accessing it at the same time?
[Code].....
I'm running into random instances where it looks like another client might be modifying (by setting) the value of GetSetDateTime DURING the first client's run through of WhateverMethod(). This is alarming to me and I've been trying to figure out if that's a possibility.

View 5 RepliesI've created a couple of Comparer classes for FileInfo objects to allow sorting by Name and LastWriteTime properties, but ideally I'd like to combine them into once class, so that I can compare/sort by any property simply by passing through the chosen property name.However, I don't know how to go about this. My comparer class current includes:
Dim oX As FileInfo = CType(x, FileInfo)
Dim oY As FileInfo = CType(y, FileInfo)
Dim Result As Int16 = oX.Name.CompareTo(oY.Name)
I want to be able to substitute the Name property with the property name stored in the _sortColumn variable.I'm expecting the solution to be rather simple, but as yet, I haven't been able to figure it out!
Solution:I'd already got as far as researching Reflection, and had stumbled across PropertyInfo. But Fredriks solution cut down my search and provided a bit of structure, and I've come up with this (VB.Net) solution which seems to work nicely:

We use a common web.config file to store all of our database connection strings.
I would like to have a way to read in all of them, somehow create a property or type so that they become dynamically available.
So when I want to create a new sql connection my my class can show the connections strings available.
Dim myconn as new MySqlOps.Connection(MySqlOps.ConnectionString)
so when the user types MySqlOps.ConnectionString. it will give a list of the connection strings read in from the config file.
Not sure how to approach making the connectionstrings available like above.

I had created another thread asking how to create OvalShapes during runtime... Ok, so I have that covered, but what I need to know how to add properties to these OvalShapes individually. The OvalShapes are stored in the List(Of OvalShapes) if I create a loop from 0 to the length of the list it modifies all the OvalShapes with the same propertiesWhat I�m trying to do is make like 5-10 balls collide, this is why I need these properties to be individual to each OvalShape.
View 2 RepliesI have made a program wherein you the labels are dynamically created with a press of a button. if you press on the label, the label would then change color from white to blue. my problem is that how will you make the backcolor of the label change when the button3 is pressed.

View 5 RepliesPassing data between forms without any public methods or properties on the forms. everything but the "Controller" class, which I would like you furnish. I just changed the title from "Intermediate" to "Beginner" This solution is an example of the Observer Pattern. The "Controller" class is the "observed" class, which in this case means it publishes events.
' File Definitions.vb
Public Delegate Sub MessageDelegate(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MessageEventArgs)
Public Class MessageEventArgs : Inherits EventArgs
Public Message As String

The program should initially display Form1, and Form2. Clicking of the button on either form will modify the Title Text of both forms. I think that you will find the final end result to be pretty neat, as it works with any number of open forms not just two. I think asking for the Controller class is easier than asking for the code in the forms. My solution for Controller class has 7 lines of content, 9 lines if you include Class, EndClass. A minimal solution could achieved with only 4 lines of content, but it would a textbook example of bad programming.

I'm working through a book that does not provide a lot of example code and what it does provide is in C#. The book refs vs 2005 but I'm using vs2008. The author asks for the user to create a solution with two projects, one winforms and the other a class library (called DependentAssm). The class library is added as a reference to the winforms project In the class library, he asks one to create a new class called SayHelloComp. The project created a file called class1.vb, and a class called class1 which I renamed to SayHelloComp. I left the file name alone, that's ok right?

I have a class inside a class.I need to expose the properties of the 2nd class to other classes, therefore it is public.However, I do not wish other classes to be able to create instances of this 2nd class, it should only be instantitated from its parent class.I thought I could resolve this issue by making the constructor of the 2nd class private, but this even prevents the parent class from instantiating its child class! How can I work around this, do I have to make the constructor public and allow anybody to create an instance of the class?
