C# - Compare Two Objects Regardless Of Data Types?
Oct 12, 2010
I want to compare two objects whose type may be diffrent.
For eg, I expects 'true' for comparing 1000.0(Decimal) with 1000(Double) . Similary, it should return true if I compare 10(string) and 10(double) .
I tried to compare using Object.Equals() , but it did NOT work.It return false if two objects have different data types.
Dim oldVal As Object ' assgin some value
Dim newVal As Object 'assgin some value
If Not Object.Equals(oldVal,newVal) Then

I want to compare two objects to check if all the properites of both the object have same value or not. for this i need to use the reflection to enumarate through all the properties of an object and check the value of the property. To try the code just i have written a Employee Class having Two Properties EmployeeNo and EmployeeName. I am creating an object of the Employee class and need to write a function that can list the values of all the properties in the class.

Here's what I'm looking to do. I have an array of objects that all implement a particular interface. What I want to do is search that array of objects for a particular object type.I have to do this in several places, so I'm trying to create a function where I pass in the object array and the type that I'm searching for, and have that function return the object that matches that type - or nothing if no match is found.I wrote the following, but it isn't working, so I'm missing something:

I want to see if try cast can convert user entered answer to the type I have specified. Here's what I have: Dim t as type = GetType(myType) Dim ans = console.readline() If TryCast(ans, t) <> Nothing Then ... 'Doesn't work` In the example above the intelisense doesn't even show t. How to make it work?

So I am working on a project with a lot of pictures in my resources and I am trying to check what picture has been put into a part of my array. I am using structures in my array and i'm not sure if that will make a difference.
If logs(i).pic Is My.Resources.Log2 Then
logs(i).gap = 70
End If

I want to test if the 2 objects values can be compared.
For example if I have a variable define as an object which contains a value of "A" and another variable defined as an object with a value of 0. (These must be defined as type Object.)
When I do a simple compare If Object1 <> Object2 Then etc. I get an error. So how do I test to see if the objects are comparable? I have looked at TryCast , DirectCast, Ctype etc but cannot see

I am attempting to compare a bitwise clone object to its parent to check for changes using:
If Not objCP.Equals(objCPClone) Then
'do something
End If
and it always compares as not equal even immediately after creating the clone. How should they be compared to check for changes?

I have a connection string set up and a data reader.I have two textboxes on my form for users to type in. One textbox (txtLogin) is a user name and the other textbox is a password (txtPwd). I'm trying to compare what a user types into those two boxes to a table in a vfp database. The table I'm trying to compare to is open about 99% of the time so I need to be able to read from it in some type of "shared" mode.
My Select statement needs to be something similar to "select * from sites where clogin = txtLogin.text and cpassword = txtPwd.text"I just don't know how to get this to work properly.

My brain is fried at the moment, so here's the scenario.I have a form that adds a member to my VB.NET application.When I press submit I add their details: name and number as well as what products they want (internet and phone). Internet and Phone are their own class as is member.
I want to add that they HAVE whichever they have chosen and with the member store it.
[Code]...
As what happens is once the member is created (stored) I will go to input how much they have used, and then store that. But to do so I will need access to the internet and phone classes, which are associated with said member.

Is there a way to compare two dates (which include time) ignoring the time? I have a 1/1/2009 8:00am and 1/1/2009 9:00am and I just want to know if it is the same day, without any care to what time it is. I know I can convert the date and compare the strings, but is there another way?

What's a sound approach to override the CompareTo() method in a custom class with multiple approaches to comparing the data contained in the class? I'm attempting to implement IComparable(Of T) just so I have a few of the baseline interfaces implemented. Not planning on doing any sorting yet, but this will save me down the road if I need to.
Reading MSDN states mostly that we have to return 0 if the objects are equal, -1 if obj1 is less than obj2, or 1 is obj1 is greater than obj2. But that's rather simplistic.
Consider an IPv4 address (which is what I'm implementing in my class). There's two main numbers to consider -- the IP address itself, and the CIDR. An IPv4 address by itself is assumed to have a CIDR of /32, so in that case, in a CompareTo method, I can just compare the addresses directly to determine if one is greater or less than the other. But when the CIDR's are different, then things get tricky.
Assume obj1 is 10.0.0.0/8 and obj2 is 192.168.75.0/24. I could compare these two addresses a number of ways. I could just ignore the CIDR, and still regard as obj2 as being greater than obj1. I could compare them based on their CIDR, which would be comparing the size of the network (and a /8 will trump a /24 quite easily). I could compare them on both their numerical address AND their CIDR, on the off chance obj2 was actually an address inside the network defined by obj1.
What's the kind of approach used to handle situations like this? Can I define two CompareTo methods, overloaded, such that one would evaluate one address relative to another address, and the second would evaluate the size of the overall network? How would the .NET framework be told which one to use depending on how one might want to sort an array? Or do some other function that relies on CompareTo()?

In VB.NET I would like to create a complicated data structure with multiple types of data stored in an array like format (see below). I am trying to create a data structure that would look something like this: [Name; xLoc; yLoc; zLoc; [Jagged Array]] Note: Name needs to be dimensioned as a string, xLoc and so forth as integers. The Jagged Array would look like this:

SQL Server has a Data Type of "Float". Visual Studio has a Data Type of "Decimal". In other words, if I have a variable in a VB.Net app that is defined as a "Decimal" ...can I move that value into a SQL Server Data Table column defined as a "Float"?

I have been trying for days now how to create a process to the user to easily create a connection to any installed data types they have installed. I have found an example right inside vb2008. I never use this because I code my own connections, but this would be real nice if I could include it or duplicate it.

I'm trying to call a C++ DLL from inside VB.NET and am having difficulty with the data types (I think), I understand VB.NET far more than I do C++...I think my main problem is differing data types and I don't understand enough C++?In C++ the DLL is called (I don't have the source for the DLL which would solve my problem, I only have a sample project written in C++) by this;
_InitSensor = (InitSensor)GetProcAddress(m_hInstLibrary, "InitSensor");
_FreeSensor = (FreeSensor)GetProcAddress(m_hInstLibrary, "FreeSensor");
_ReadTEMPsh10 = (ReadTEMPsh10)GetProcAddress(m_hInstLibrary, "ReadTEMPsh10");
_ReadType=(ReadType)GetProcAddress(m_hInstLibrary,"ReadType");
(Variables Declared Previously in other file like this;)
typedef char* (*InitSensor)(char ICType);
typedef void (*FreeSensor)();
typedef double* (*ReadTEMPsh10)(BYTE n);
typedef double (*ReadType)(BYTE address);

It contains a function for reading data, which is defined like this:[code]The second parameter in function Mf500PiccRead can returns "16 byte data block", so my long data type is too small. If I use byte() instead of long, then i get ExecutionEngineException Exception.

Visual Basic 2010 (Express). If I take a string from a textbox and assign it to an integer variable, I'm under the impression that you're supposed to use CInt to explicitly convert the contents to an integer.intMyCount = CInt(txtUserInput.Text)However, if I don't do that, it still seems to work. Similarly, if I have an integer and concatenate it into a label's text property, it still works: lblResults.Text = intMyCount & " number of times."
rather than using intMyCount.ToString.Why does it work? Is VB doing implicit conversions when possible? Are there examples where not explicitly converting with .ToString or using CInt would cause unexpected results?

I'm trying to figure out the best way to determine if there has been any data change to the actual database since my last data retrieval.I'm using a DataGridView to display the cache data to the end-user, but before they make permanent changes to the database, I would like to query the actual database to make sure that no updates have been made to the data source. I'm querying an AS400 system, so I have to use the OleDbDataReader object to retrieve data from the system. What is the best approach for this scenario?

I'm working on a project that will compare two textboxes and output the difference in a third textbox. To provide some background what I'm trying to do is compare a users active directory groups to another users groups. What I want this program to output is the groups the user already has, groups that need to be added, groups that need to be removed(basically unique values).comparing text will output an integer, or boolean. I need the actual difference outputted in text to have a working document of changes to groups.
Here is an example of what I want it do, but i'm only able to get it working using an excel macro.
Sub UniqueValues()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim i As Long

I am reading data from a provider and they have a column where ONLY the time is provided. The thrid party provider cannot change the format and that is what i have to work with. An example
[11:56PM][516]
[11:57PM][510]
[11:58PM] [510]
[code]....
I can read the data no problem. The problem that i do have is to calculate the time elapsed between records. Here I can safely assume that at most the time will cross over into the next day. I don't particularly care what date I assign to my DateTime variable so i just pick DateTime.Now and then I go through and use the TimeSpan object to calculate time elapsed. Works great except when the records cross midnight.way to do just a pure time comparison? otherwise i am left currently with converting the time into a military time and then using a simple integer comparison to determine of the date has crossed over into the next day. i then use DateTime.Now.AddDays(1) to assign the full date.

i want to create an system that can trigger alert which, the alert box will change to a red color depending on its value.
my problem is, the value that i used to compare is dynamic and based on what user key in in the paramater table while the data that will be display the alert is from the alert table.
lets say the value in the parameter table is been declare as Aand the value that display the alert is been declare as cellvalue.
this is the code that i have been tryingif cellvalue < A then' some code to change the box colorEnd if
but i kept failing. the system cannot read the A value.
