View 5 RepliesPublic Constant Versus Private Constant?
Aug 13, 2011When building a class library which contains many classes, all classes uses a lot of common constants and functions, what is the best to do:
1- Declare these constants and functions as public in a module.
2- In each class declare constants and functions used by individual class as private.
The first choice is good for easy and fast implementation, but re-using a class in a different project will require importing the module to the other project.The second choice require a lot of copy/paste for code snippet but a class can be re-used in different project easily.

View 2 RepliesUse String As A VB Constant?
May 17, 2012I have strMyColor = "Red".I would like to make lblMyLabel.BackColor to be red.Without using a variable the code would be this:
lblMyLabel.BackColor=Color.Red
I tried using the variable like this: lblMyLabel.backcolor="Color." & strMyColor
But the error is that a string can't be converted to System.Draw.Color. I understand that, as the string "Color.Red" is not the same as the VB constant Color.Red.Is there a way I can construct a valid vbConstant from a string?

Constant Window Flashing?
Jun 16, 2011Alright, So i have two forms open. One in a listview and i have another window with a browser control in it. The browser is adding data to the listview but i made it so it hides while doing this using Me.Hide(). I can make it appear if i click the menu item "Show browser" i made.when im on Form1 (the listview) and its doing its thing with the browser window hidden. It keeps making form1 flash. Well not flash but like the browser window is poping to the front (while hidden) causing me not to be able to click on anything on Form1.This happen everytime the web browser navigates somewhere.Making Form1 always on top fixes it, but it also gets on top of other programs like my web browser . I want it to be on top only to the web browser.

Magic Number Vs Constant?
May 11, 2012I save a lot of settings in an INI file as 1 (enabled) and 0 (disabled), all around the project's module i have this check If setting = 1 then ' do somethingEnd If ' OR If setting = 0 then ' do somethingEnd If
My question, is it good for performance to declare public constants to hold 1 & 0 and use them in such above checks instead of using real number?
In general, if i use value like 8, 9, "", "$", etc... in just two different places, should i declare constant for it?

Use A Keyword As A Constant In An Enumeration?
Jan 19, 2011I would like to use a keyword (reserved word) as a constant name in an enumeration.The reason I care about the name is I set a ListBox.DataSource to the .GetValues of the Enum Type.This way the list of constant names show up in the list box and the ListBox.SelectedValue can be tested to determine which constant value has been selected.What I would like to be able to do is as follows:
Enum

.NET 2010 Constant Errors - Bugs?
Jun 21, 2010I am getting these constant annoying errors in Visual Basic .NET 2010 Express. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one, but these errors are always relating to images and resources The Type 'Global.ExampleProject.My.Resources.Resources' has no property named 'example.png'I am pretty sure these are bug, due to the fact that I get these errors after a while in most of my projects - it's absolutely annoying! Most solutions include removing the resources (commenting them out of the form designer code) and re-importing them... But then the problem comes back again after the project has been loaded a few times!
Microsoft suggest this is rather a user-related issue rather than a bug due to the fact that they can't reproduce the error.I'm still sticking to the belief of this being a bug - anyone get this error alot of the time?This is not the only bug I get - sometimes VB stops working when I try to build my projects!

Mar 18, 2009Any way to assign a binary value to a vb variable? All of the obvious choices don't work. I've tried prefixing with &B, appending with b but nothing seems to work.For clarification, what I was looking for (which does not appear to be possible) was how to assign a literal binary number to a variable, in a similar manner in which you can assign a hex or octal number. I was just looking for a more visually engaging way to assign values to a flag enum.

Dim num2 as Integer = &O123765 'Octal'

C++ - Find IOCTL Constant Values?
Jun 22, 2012I need to know the IOCTL constants for the various strings (for example the value of the constant of IOCTL_ATA_PASS_THROUGH). Searching the net I found that those constants are defined in the header Ntddscsi.h but those constant are wrong. For example the constant value of IOCTL_ATA_PASS_THROUGH should be 4D02C while in the header file it is 40B
The question is: where can I find a list with ALL the right values?
I've found [URL].. where there are listed all the codes. the value in Ntddscsi.h is not the "final" value
Changing EXE Name Based On Compilation Constant
Sep 21, 2011I have a project in VB.NET 2010 (compiling to x86, .NET 2.0 runtime) that I want to compile into two separate EXEs - a "lite" version and a "full" version. Unfortunately I cannot make two separate projects as it uses the Adobe Reader COM control - and sharing a form using that control between two projects seems to confuse the IDE (something to do with COM Interop, I assume - if someone knows how to share a form hosting the adobe reader control, that would solve my problem too).
I have found this thread: C#: VS.NET: Change name of exe depending on conditional compilation symbol however I don't have any MSBuild experience so I need more explicit instructions. On the "My Project>Compile" tab there is a "Build Events..." button. I was wondering if anyone knows how to set a conditional compilation constant and use that to determine the EXE name (or change it after build). If all else fails I can rename the EXE manually I suppose, but I'd prefer it to be automated.
Control Key Constant For Registering Hotkeys
Jan 14, 2012Using the code from this thread, I have been able to successfully register hotkeys for myself. I am having trouble though, I am trying to register a hotkey with the Control Constant; it doesn't seem to be working. I need to register Control + 1 (MOD_CTRL, Keys.D1). I know how to do this, yet I can't seem to get the MOD_CTRL constant to work. I've found that the constant for Control is &H11 but as I said previously, this does not seem to fire for either the left control or right control keys.
