Assign Nothing To The Structure And Not To Its Members

Jul 2, 2010

I'm having some headaches using Structures and functions that return Nothing in VB.NET. [Code] In the previous code, when I return Nothing as result of Foo function I'd expect that st is Nothing. But this is not what happens. Then I found in MSDN documentation: Assigning Nothing to a variable sets it to the default value for its declared type. If that type contains variable members, they are all set to their default values.

So I discovered that when I assign Nothing to a structure, all its members are set to their default values, instead of the structure itself.

Also, I tried to make st a Nullable type by declaring: Dim st As Nullable(Of Test) = Foo()

but, still I can't check if st is Nothing by using: If st Is Nothing Then

or If st.Equals(Nothing) Then

So, questions:

1 - Is it possible to assign Nothing to the structure and not to its members?
2 - How can I check if a return structure value is Nothing?

Print Specific Structure Members When Passing The Name

May 1, 2009

I am trying to figure out how to print specific members of a structure when I only have to pass the structure itself i.e.

Dim Point1 as PointF = New PointF(15,30)
Debug.Print(Point1) ' This will output "{X = 15, Y = 30}" by default

I am trying to figure out how I can do the same with my own strucutres, for example:

Dim Point2 as PointF2D = New PointF2D(15,30)
Debug.Print(Point2) ' This will output "ClassName.PointF2D.Point2"

How can I get my structures, when passed to a print statement, to print specific members of that structure by default? P.S. Please give another way other than overloading the .ToString function.

Why It Is Not Necessary To Initialize All Members In Parameterized Constructor Of A Structure

Jan 19, 2012

When it comes to constructors in a Structure type ,it is fact that we can not explicitly provide the default constructor .It is provided by the runtime. Ok, another point that is applicable to C# language is that if we are defining a parametrized constructor then it is compulsory to initialize all fields . We can not leave any field uninitialized , since the runtime will not call default constructor if we are calling parametrized constructor .Its logically right , but in VB.NET language , actually you are free to leave any of the fields uninitialized in your parametrized constructor.

Class Structure - Large Structure That Has Lots Of Properties ?

Jan 5, 2010

I'm new to VB 2008 after having spent a long time with VB6, so I apologize if this is a stupid question. But I'd really like to have this straightened out.

Let's say I have a pretty large structure that has lots of properties.

Code:

Now say that I want an internal database with about 10 instances of this structure total, describing, say, 10 different products that a store sells. When these values are loaded from a database, they remain totally static. (However, they can be different each time a program loads)

Now say that I have a class. Each instance of this class is a type of that BaseProduct structure. Meaning, each instance of the class pertains to one of the 10 types of products that the store sells. However, this class has additional properties that pertain specifically to each instance, which are not static.

Code:

Now, the problem here is... If I have 200 different transactions, each one contains an instance of BaseProduct. BaseProduct is HUGE, and is largely redundant (only 10 types possible), so I think it's a little silly to include a whole copy of it with EVERY transaction. However, the Transaction class really needs information regarding the base product it pertains to. Is there a way to, instead of declaring a New BaseProduct in the Transaction class, to simply make one of the properties of the Transaction class a pointer to a BaseProduct variable?

In VB6, I would accomplish this by making a BaseProduct(10) array, and then giving each Transaction an ID number referring to an entry in that array. But in VB 2008, using class structure, this is impossible. I can't define the BaseProduct(10) array outside of a class in a namespace, and if I define it in the actual application's form, then the class loses modularity since it relies on the application that's using it.

Converting Structure Within Structure To Byte Array For Socket

Aug 29, 2009

I am trying to communicate with an external device and i am trying to send a byte array to the external device via sockets but i am always getting a response the message size is too small so i am not sure what i have done wrong. Between the data type there should be no alignment present and all numbers are represented in little endian format. The char array is not null terminated as mentioned in the protocol specifications.

I have to send data based on a struct that embeds 2 other struct. So here's my vb.net code for the struct used to convert to byte array and the sending part.

Public Structure MESSAGETYPE_OIP_Login
Dim Header() As COMMANDHEADER
Dim UserName() As PSTRING

.NET Containers - When Are Members By Reference, Value?

Oct 25, 2009

I migrate between C++ and VB.NET in my coding ventures... which leads to the occasional confusion about when something is by value or by reference in VB.NET.Let's say for example that I have an array of MyObject which is populated with a bunch of objects.

dim MyArr(5000) of MyObject. let's say that the information from this array travels throughout various data structures:

dim MyList as new List(of MyObject)
for i as integer = 0 to 5000 step 1000
Mylist.add(MyArr(i))
next

Under the above scenario, I believe everything is by reference. If I extract an entry from "MyTable" and modify its MyObject Members, I think that the original in MyArr will be modified.However, I have run into situations where I thought something was by reference, and it was by value. Are items always added to containers by reference, or are they sometimes added by value?

C# - Deserializing Objects With New Members

Jan 23, 2011

According to a mspress book (MCTS for Exam 70-536 .NET 2.0): You might have version compatibility issues if you ever attempt to deserialize an object that has been serialized by an earlier version of your application. Specifically, if you add a member to a custom class and attempt to deserialize an object that lacks that member, the runtime will throw an exception. In other words, if you add a member to a class in version 3.1 of your application, it will not be able to deserialize an object created by version 3.0 of your application.

Now... As curious as I am I went and created a project, serialized a class, added a new member and attempted to deserialize the class to the new object. To my surprise it worked and the newly created member was set to null by default (even if it had another default value).

Make Some Members Available To Only One Object?

Jun 4, 2011

I have an EggSac object which contains references to >100 000 Egg objects. Some variables in the Eggs have to be maintained to be consistent with EggSac, so I want to make these only changeable by EggSac. However EggSac passes references to its Eggs all over the application, so if I use public methods then any other code could modify the secure parts of the Eggs by accident.

What's a proper OO way to make sure only the EggSac object can call the "secure" methods of the Eggs, but still make the "safe" methods available to everyone?

My idea is to split Egg's class into a base class containing only safe methods and a derived class containing the secure methods that only EggSac should have access to. Then EggSac has members of the type of the derived class, but it casts them to their base class whenever something else wants one.
