I have a base class with the the following enum and property:
[Code]...
First off, how do I do this - is it by simply overloading it? And secondly will my original property pick up the new enum automatically when using the derived class or will I need to overload that too?
For good reasons I would like to have something like truckA = truckB + truckC where only the loads of the trucks are added, not the license plate numbers. Also I don't really want to return a new object (lots of overhead), just change one or two of the properties. Only thing I can come up with is truckA.Load = truckB.Load + truckC.Load, or at best truckA.Load = truckB + truckC which still doesn't look elegant, and - worse - still requires the creation of a new Load object.(this is just a way of stating my problem; the real objects are quite big and complicated) Currently I have a Sub isSumOf so the code reads TruckA.isSumOf(truckB, TruckC)
View 4 RepliesI thought that enums in VB and C# where the same or at least very similar. Then today I stumbled across a bug in our VB code. The following VB code compiles and runs with no issues:
Enum Cars
Subaru
Volvo
End Enum
[code]....
Why does the VB version not catch the type mismatch? Are enum in VB and C# different?
What scenarios would you consider operator overloading in .net?

View 2 Repliesmaybe it's not a method exactly. here's what I'd like to do:
Private _Columns As ArrayList
Public Property Columns() As ArrayList
Get[code]....
which would allow me to conveniently set the property by assigning to it various kinds of collection types... except, I can't do it because apparently the Set method has to take an argument of the type of the property itself... I get the complaint:
'Set' parameter must have the same type as the containing property
is there a way to do this?
i would like to hijack the assignment operator and do some customization before an instance of my class is assigned.
example:
Dim A as New MyClass
Dim B as MyClass = A
i want custom the behavior of = is that possible?
I wanna overload the ShowDilog for my form. I wanted to clarify whether the Owner should be passed as Value or Reference.
View 2 RepliesUntil asking a question on here I never considered (enums) to be a "bad thing." For those out there that consider them not to be best practice, what are some approachs/patterns for avoiding their use in code?
Edit:
public Enum SomeStatus
Approved = 1
Denied = 2
Pending =3
end Enum
We have legacy character codes that we want to store as numbers in a new system. To increase readibility and general understanding in the code for devs making the migration, I want to do Enums like this..
[Code]...
With this setup, the code will be readable (imagine If Record.Status = Status.Open), and yet the values will be stored in the database as small numbers so it will be efficient. However... I am a VB.NET guy, but everybody wants to code in C#, so I need this sort of structure in C#.After Googling, I discovered the the general .NET equivalent of AscW is Convert.ToInt32("C"). When I try to use that statement in an enum, I get the compiler error "Constant Expression Required".
I have an enum and a usercontrol, both in the same assembly (a plain .NET 4 web site). In the Constants class:public Enum CrudOperations Add Edit Delete. This controls the columns in a GridView on a UserControl via a property on the UserControl
[Code]...
In C#, I've specified the columns to show with markup as Mode="Edit,Delete", but in VB.NET, this does nothing. The only way I can get anything to show is with the codebehind, but if on the containing page I use userGrid.Mode = CrudOperations.Edit And CrudOperations.Delete, I get all the columns (there's also a delete column), but userGrid.Mode = CrudOperations.Edit Or CrudOperations.Delete shows nothing.
I have a public property, "Status" that is an enum. I have a setter method that changes the status and raises the PropertyChanged event. However, the WinForms user interface is not properly updating. I'm pretty sure it's because Status is an enum. Although I was thinking enum was a reference type but I guess it's a value type. Does INotifyPropertyChanged work the same with reference and value types?

I am having a problem convincing Visual Studio and the compiler to use the correct method overload, possibly because of inheritance.
Given these objects:

I have a weird situation. I have a C++ code that overloads the +,-,* operators and exports them in a .DLL file. Now, I want to import those overloaded operators from within VB.NET code. So it should be like this:
<DllImport("StructDLL.dll")> Public Shared Function
Operator +(ByVal a1 As A, ByVal a2 As A) As A
End Function
So what I'm trying to do above it just import the lovely overloaded operator + from the DLL.Note that the operator is already overloaded from inside the DLL, so should I import it as a Function or as an Operator like this?
<DllImport("StructDLL.dll")> Public Shared
Operator +(ByVal a1 As A, ByVal a2 As A) As A
End Operator
The overloaded plus operator is supposed to add structs. So the DLL is programmed to work on structs (C++) and I want to import it in VB.NET to work on Structures.
I need type parameter overloading as such:[code..]
so that i can New Map(Of Human) and the compiler will automatically match it to Public Class Map(Of TKey, TValue) and if i new Map(Of String) the compiler will automatically match it to Public Class Map(Of TKey As IEquatable(Of TKey), TValue) (since String is an IEquatable(Of String))
Right now my solution is to give the class different names as such:[code...]
I'm working together with someone on a project, but I'm writing code in VB.Net, and hes coding in VC++. I'm trying to get some kind of compatability going on, so I'm putting my support classes into a VB dll. I've tested it a little, and it seems that all of the functions work, but the operator overloading that I did in VB doesnt seem to carry over to C++.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to overload several functions. These are first defined in an interface:
Code:
Namespace Scripting
Public Interface IGlobalFunctions
Overloads Function InOutBox(ByVal messageBoxText As String) As DialogResult
Overloads Function InOutBox(ByVal messageBoxText As String, ByVal caption As String) As DialogResult
[Code] .....
It complies and runs.. But I can only use the first version of InOutBox when I try to use the next one I get an error telling me: "Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment".
i recently discovered a nice feature called overloading, now the question is can i also do that for outputs? for example i want to call a function that would automatically return the datatype i assign the function toright now im geting an error saying "blabla and blabla cant overload eachother because they only differ by return types
View 3 RepliesI have a class that implements an interface. Other objects will get an instance via a method like:
Dim AU1 as IAUC = GetAU(<some GUID>)
Dim AU2 as IAUC = GetAU(<some other GUID>)
What I would like to be able to do is this:If AU1 = AU2..The parts of the class that make up the interface could be equal when the rest of the class is not, and the equality of the interface objects (if you can call them that) is complicated. Several fields have to be compared in odd ways.One option I have is to just add an Equality method to the interface, which would work, but I would rather overload the = and <> operators. As far as I can see, you cannot overload operators as part of an interface, but I was hoping that I had overlooked something.
I work for a web hosting company and was handed a VB script which I apparently have to compile with some updated settings by 1 of our clients who knows less about it than I do. But when trying to compile the code I receive an error "'Enums.NoticeType' is not defined". As expected I haven't a clue. Am I missing some of the code, or do I have to add some libraries in my Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition? I have pasted the line of code below. If requested I can provide the whole script.
Code:
Public Function UpdateNotices(ByVal intNoticeID As Integer,
ByVal strNoticeTitle As String, ByVal dtDateFrom As Date, ByVal dtDateTo
As Date, ByVal intTypeID As Enums.NoticeType, ByVal boolPrimaryItem As
Boolean, ByVal boolActive As Boolean) As Int32
I have a solution with multiple projects, some of the projects are written in VB, some in C#. I am wondering if there's a way to use interfaces and/or enums written in VB in C# classes? My C# code below doesn't compile, however I am able to see the interface in intellisense.
[Code]...
P.S It's a console/service application, not ASP.Net (where I know it's doable).UPD: Sorry guys, was missing a reference to the project with the interface. It's fixed now. I think the thing that in VB projects references are done slightly different than in C# confused me.
We have a common component in our source which contains all the enums (approx 300!) for a very large application.Is there any way, using either C# or VB.NET, to iterate through all of them in order to perform an action on each one?
How to iterate all "public string" properties in a .net class is almost relevant but the enums I am dealing with are a mix of types.
I'm using LuaInterface for .NET to create Windows Forms objects. This works pretty good except for one thing:I want to use the Anchor property of Control to make them resize automatically. If I only set one of the Anchors (e.g. only AnchorStyles.Top), it works, but this doesn't really make sense. I have to set more than one Anchor, which is done by combining them with "bit-wise or" (or by just adding them numerically).
In VB.Net both works:
Dim myLabel As New Label()
myLabel.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Top[code]....
which is in a sense correct as "LuaInterface treats enumeration values as fields of the corresponding enumeration typ" (says LuaInterface: Scripting the .NET CLR with Lua).It is also not possible to assign the value as a number:
myLabel.Anchor = 15 -- 15 = 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = Top+Left+Right+Bottom
This time, the error message is rather unspecific:
LuaInterface.LuaException: function
Is there a possibility to typecast the number to the correct enumeration type in Lua?
What would the folowing VB.NET enum definition look like in C#? [code]
View 7 RepliesIs it guaranteed that the numeric values for an Enum with only uninitialized values start at zero and increment by one in the order defined?
View 2 RepliesI want to add a setting that uses an enum defined in form1.vb. All the research I've done suggests support for enum type settings is built-in and handled automatically by the VS IDE ... I assume this means it's as easy as defining font or color settings. However, I'm not having much. Are any of you gurus aware of how to set up an enum setting via the Project Settings UI?
View 8 RepliesI realize this is probably trivial, but for some reason I'm not sure how to pull it off. Say I have the following enum:
Public Enum FlagType
Docs
Email
[Code]....
How do I then at runtime determine which flags where set for flags? In this example, it should be Docs and Email.
Is there a way to use strings in Enums like the example below:
Enum myEnum
val1 = "some string 1"
val2 = "some string 2"
val3 = "some string etc"
End Enum
It seems like you can only use integers for the underlying values.
I have a problem with the VB.NET compiler failing to compile a class (in a separate C# assembly) which contains two overloads of a method with generic arguments. The equivalent code in C# compiles against the same assembly with no errors. Here are the two method signatures:
protected void SetValue<T>(T newValue, ref T oldValue)
protected void SetValue<T>(T? newValue, ref T? oldValue) where T : struct
Here is the code to three assemblies that demonstrate the problem. The first is the C# assembly with a Base class that implements the generic methods. The second is a C# class derived from Base and calls both overloads of SetValue correctly. The third is a VB class also derived from Base, but fails to compile with the following error message:
[Code]...
Am I doing something wrong in the VB code, or are C# & VB different when it comes to generic overload resolution? If I make the method arguments in Base non-generic then everything compiles correctly, but then I have to implement SetValue for every type that I wish to support.
