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?
I have a VB.NET project where I am able to iterate through the keys and values collections of a dictionary object using an index:
MyDictionary.Keys(idx) MyDictionary.Values(idx)
When this code is taken from the test project and placed into the real project I get the following error:
'System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary(Of Double, String).KeyCollection' cannot be indexed because it has no default property.[code]...
In the line in sub search that says "dtf.Keys(idx) = 0" place your cursor after the right parenthesis and backspace you should get a tooltip that says, "<Extension> ElementAtOrDefault(index as Integer) as Double - index: the zero based element of the index to retrieve.
will fail with more than one instance of the WebBrowser control.what actually happen is that mycontrol object become Mycontrol and compiled vb.net application will fail with error
Member not found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80020003 (DISP_E_MEMBERNOTFOUND)) at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.LateBinding.LateGet(Object o, Type objType, String name, Object[] args, String[] paramnames, Boolean[] CopyBack)[code].....
Same code will work with vb6 app with multiple WebBrowser controls
Edit: This code is comipled with: Option Strict Off
I have valued pairs, attributes names and values in one hand, and I have an object with attributes. I need to set the values of those attributes. I need something like [code]
I have a custom control. I need to add a property, say, Comparison, to the control. The property should be set at design time using a dropdown. The Dropdown will have String values like '=','>','<' etc. I tried using Enum values and working perfectly but I need to do some extra coding to convert the Enum values to the string I required. It would be great if I can get the values from the dropdown so that I can directly use the selcted value.
how to create my own custom property that is an object but that allows a string to be passed in to the property grid to configure it.For example, with a font type property you can type "Microsoft Sans Serif, 18pt" into the property grid and it will create the appropriate font structure and fill it.
I have the following class that i use to pull data from a API.here is my callDim myProducts As clsMagentoProduct() = clsMagentoProduct.List(apiURL, sessionId,New Object() {filterOn})
I've created a custom user control that has several properties. One specifies which database I want the control to access. I want to be able to present the user of the control a drop down from which he can select which database the control will interact with. How do I get the dropdown to work? I can get default values, but have yet to figure out how to get the selectable list.
I need to iterate through controls using dynamic construction of control names and it looks like this could be what I need, however I never used this before and it does not quite work. What am I doing wrong? GroupBox1 is what I am attempting
Dim x as Integer = 1 For Each ctrl As Control In CallByName(Me, "GroupBox" & CStr(x), CallType.Method).Controls The runtime error is "GroupBox1" not found on Form1 even though I can select Me.GroupBox1 from the dropdown list.
I have a class called Item which contains all the information about all parts, finished goods, in process parts (parts made on site), purchased parts, and raw materials.
I have a Bill of Materials table which has the following columns (reflected in the BOM class)
ParentItem ChildItem ChildItemQty
Parent Items can only be Items which have subcomponents.
Child Items can be parts that are made on site, purchased parts that are bought ready made from other companies, or raw materials used to make a part that is made on site.
Parent Items and child Items both inherit the Items class.
I will limit the Parent item class to only items that are in the parent column of the BOM table. I believe I can limit that by doing a quick look up on a view which only shows the parent items.
I will limit the Child Item Class to only items that are in the child column of the BOM table. Same method to limit it by doing a quick look up on a view that shows only the child items.
That way, an instance of the BOM class will have all the detail information about any of it's components available whenever I need them.
I have an application and Spy++ reports that the parent window has many controls that are hidden. When I do a mouse click on the application's window, a number appears and I suppose it's the hidden controls that change their text/picture.So, is there a way to iterate the parents hidden controls names, get their handles and then activate them one by one (with sendmessage/postmessage wm_buttonclick) to see what changes?Right now I get the windows handle with FindWindow and the window's process id.
I have a DataGridView which populates from an SQL query just fine in default mode
using these table names [firstName] [varchar](20) NOT NULL, [lastName] [varchar](20) NOT NULL,
[code]....
I have edited the column headers and set the column names to the same values as my table names yet the data is not showing in form load I have set datagridview.AutoGenerateColumns = False I know the data is there if I delete datagridview.AutoGenerateColumns = False then the data is shown with the default headings?
I'm debuging an complex calculation object in my project, and I'd like to show its various and many properties in a textbox, to make my tests easier.
Can I do something like
for each p as someKindOfProperty in MyObject1 debug.print(p.name & " - " & debug.print p.value) textbox1.text = textbox1.text & vbcrlf & p.name & " - " & p.value next
Am using a combo box with no of phone numbers .I want to get the phone no one by one in a variable. Now am using the below code to get the combobox values. But still now am getting the following error message System.Data.DataRowView. Please help me to fix this error. am new for vb.net.[code]
I'm building a litle console app that involves a control hierarchy -- there are screens, and inside of screens you can compose controls together.
You can add controls to a screen by declaring member variables (which all inherit from AresControl). The control constructor takes a simple coordinate pair. It looks like this:
Public Class IntroScreen : Inherits AresScreen 'Controls Private LabelSelect As New LabelControl(72, 0)
[Code]....
This would result in cleaner, convention-based code. But try as I might, I can't get it to work - I can walk the member variables of a type, but I need to walk the member variables of a live object.
I am trying to match the values of a combo box which are typed inside a combo box with the comb box items, which are bind to a datasource. i can see the items in the combo box and if i get the selecteditem its working fine means nothing is wrong with the connection and other things. but when im trying to match the values im getting this error:System.Data.DataRowView and this error continues to display equal to the number of rows inside table. im using the following code:
How can I iterate through a listview that has checkedboxes and get the value of the first column? The listview has 3 columns, "ID" "Survey" "County". I want to get the value of the "ID" column for the items that are checked. I've been using the following code, but can't figure out how to proceed. am I on the right track?
I wonder if anyone can help me - I've not done much with reflection but understand the basic principles.What I'm trying to do:I'm in the process of developing a class that gathers a lot of information about the local system, network, etc... to be used for automated bug reporting. Instead of having to change my test harness every time I add a new property, I'd (ideally) like to be able to serialise the lot as an XML string and just display that in a textbox.
Unfortunately, the Framework won't use the default XML serializer on read-only properties (which almost all of mine are) as they wouldn't deserialize properly [Not sure I agree with the assumption that anything serialized must be de-serializable - MS says this is a feature "by design" which I suppose I can understand - Perhaps a tag to indicate that it should be serialized anyway would be advantageous?]
The initial approach was to make properties gettable and settable (with a throw exception on the setter) but the amount of work tidying this up afterwards seems a little excessive and I would want the properties to be read-only in the final version.What I need help with:My current plan is to use reflection to recursively iterate through each (public) property of my topmost gathering class. The problem is, the samples I've seen don't handle things recursively. Additionally, I only want to inspect an object's properties if it's in one of my assemblies - Otherwise just call .ToString on it.
If I don't have the inspection limited to my assembly, I assume I'll get (say) a string which then contains a Length which in turn will have .Tostring method.For the purposes of this project, I can almost guarantee no circular references within my code and as this will only be used as a development tool so I'm not too concerned about it running amok now and then.
I have an ASPX Custom Control which is supposed to load it's properties into an internal collection (defined with PersistenceMode.InnerProperty). Here's the ASPX
I have a problem with a property on a custom property of a class. Here is the actual code for the inherited form
Public Class Form : Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form Private _Active_Application As Custom.Classes.Active_Application = New Custom.Classes.Active_Application <System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsable(ComponentModel.EditorBrowsableState.Always)> _ Public Property Active_Application() As Custom.Active_Application
[code]....
but when i use a separate class to inherit the above class this property ('Active_Application', not Custom.Classes.Active_Applicaton) is disabled.
bare with me during this silly example. :-) Let's say I have a class like this:
Public Class Animal Public iLegs as int32 ' Number of legs Public bWings as Boolean ' Wings? Yes/No End Class
And another class that inherits the "Animal" class and adds one more property:
Public Class ScaryAnimal Inherits Animal Public iScariness as int32 ' 0-100, how scary is it? End Class
Now, if I have an instance of "Animal" with some values in it, and I decide I want to cast it to a ScaryAnimal for some reason, how do I do that without having to create a new instance of "ScaryAnimal" and copy each property value?Basically I'm looking for a way to do this, without having to write the lines marked with '*** below:
how to pull the "modifytimestamp" and "CreateTimeStamp" property values from a computer object in AD? These properties are not AD objects but if I do properties("modifytimestamp").value, the return string is that of a collection. When I do properties("modifytimestamp").count it returns 0 as the value so therefore there is no index. How do I return these values?
Public Function GetADComputerData(ByVal ComputerName As String) Dim DC As String = "" Dim s_Domain() As String = Strings.Split(frmMain.Domain, ".")
I searched on the forum / Internet for the solution how a PropetryInfo object (of a Public property) can reveal if it has a Private Protected Setter ... it was all in vain .... all help I found was about how to "Set" value of a public property having a Private Setter.I would like to know if I have a PropertyInfo object of a public property, how would I know if its Setter is Non Public?
I tried, in a exception handling block, where I did a GetValue of the PropertyInfo object and then called SetValue by setting the same value back... but to my surprise it worked well and didn error out.
on a Windows Form, an object myObject is bound to myObjectDataBindingSource like this:myObjectDataBindingSource .DatSource = myObject on the form, i have a check box bound to the property: chkProp1 for example of the object: myObjectDataBindingSource In the code when the checkbox is clicked, I need to go in code and change another text property of the object txtProper2 for example like this:
Private Sub chkProp1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles chkProp1.CheckedChanged
I have a class with many properties to which I need to assign values.I have another class with a sorted list of data from which the assignments are to be made. Is there a way to get the names properties from a class and refer to those properties?I looked through System.Reflection.Assembly but could not find a way to do it.
Class DataMngr Sub ManageData() Dim sl As SortedList(Of String, Double) sl = GetData()
I have created a custom user control (JCUserControl), and I am using it in the Main Window. And my Main Window has no codebehind. I have this in the JCUserControl codebehind:
Private Sub ImmediateRadioButton_Checked(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles ImmediateRadioButton.Checked SomeTextBox.IsEnabled = False End Sub
When I run it, it fails with the NullReferenceException. If I comment out the SomeTextBox.IsEnabled = false, it runs without any problems.
Edit: Found out that I could just check if the radio buttons are loaded before doing whatever I want to do.
Private Sub ImmediateRadioButton_Checked(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles ImmediateRadioButton.Checked If ImmediateRadioButton.IsLoaded Then SomeTextBox.IsEnabled = False End If End Sub
I have a listbox of a object called Account, which has 2 fields, password, and username. How can I compare a New Account to all the accounts in the list and see if the password matches?
