C# - Define A Variable Of Different Types?

Feb 8, 2011

i wonder if it's possible to define a variable/property of more than one type. Let's say i want a property TextWebControl that is a WebControl and also implements Web.UI.ITextControl(f.e. like a TextBox or Label). But i don't want to enforce that it is a TextBox or Label, but only one that inherits from WebControl and also implements ITextControl so that it also would work with controls added in future releases of .Net-Framework.

.Net-Framework 4.0

Edit: I have retagged the question and added VB.Net because it's my default language. Normally it's no problem for me to understand C# also, but i must admit that it's difficult to translate generic stuff to VB.Net without experiences and it's also better documentated in C# than in VB. So i would appreciate(and aceept) a working example of a VB.net generic type of ITextControl/WebControl.From Marc's answer i understand that i need a generic class. But how do i instantiate it in SomeClass? This won't compile:

Class SomeClass
Public Property info As InfoControl(Of WebControl, ITextControl)
End Class
Public Class InfoControl(Of T As {WebControl, ITextControl})
End Class

Define A Generic That Can Take Several Possible Value Types?

May 4, 2011

Is there any way to define a Generic in VB.NET which will accept only Singles or Doubles? I tried the following things, based on what I've found online, but none compile:

Dim target As Nullable(Of {Single, Double})
Dim target As Nullable(Of T As {Single, Double})
Dim target As Nullable(Of T {Single, Double})
Dim target As Nullable(Of Single, Double)
Dim target As Nullable(Of T As Single, Double)

I want to specify that target can either be a Single? or a Double? only.

Define A 3 Dimensions Matrix With Different Data Types?

Dec 8, 2011

I define 3 arrays: ID(n), Hour(n), Showed(n). If Hour(i) = actual time, I get the data pointed by ID(i), if not Showed(i).

BUT... I can add new hours or modify some existent, but I need to have the Hour array sorted. If I sort this array, the ID and Showed will point to different data.

So I though some different solutions:

1 - To make a string array with all inside (a 7 characters ID, a 5 characters Hour and 1 char for showed (T or F)). It could work, but, how can I sort the middle part of the array (Hour)? So, this don't work.

2 - A 3 dimensions "multitype" matrix (1 dimension of type Integer, the second of type Date and the third of type Boolean). I have no idea about how this can be done.

3 - A 3 dimensions string matrix, some like the "all inside" array: ID converted to a fixed size string, hour converted to a 5 chars string (hh:mm) and Showed converted to T or F. And sort the second dimension.

4 - Sell my copy of Visual Studio and drive a taxi cab

How To Define Variable As Global

May 14, 2009

I have no idea as to how I can define a variable as "GLOBAL" in VB Express 2008. I used VB V 3.0 and if I remember correctly the statement "Global varName as Integer" allowed me to use the variable across different forms. I've tried the statement "Public varName as Integer = 0" on Form1 but Form2 tells me the variable is not declared.

The statement (in Form1) "Form2.Label1.Text = CStr(varName)" displays the value on Form2 in Label1 but I cannot then use the value again in Form2, e.g. "Label2.Text = Label1.Text". How I can transfer a variable value from one form to another and manipulate that variable in the second form?

Determine Variable Types In An Array?

Sep 3, 2009

I am having some trouble with an array full of data which I am trying to process. The data has been picked out of an Excel spreadsheet and contains items such as phone numbers. The problem is that when I drop this array back into a spreadsheet, Excel being clever, decides that some of the phone numbers are numbers and removes the "+" from the front.[code]...

I know that adding a ' in front of the + will remedy this. What I need to do is find out which of the numbers in the array are actually numbers and which have spaces/characters in them. IS there a quick way of doing this without having to search through each individual character of each array position?

Dynamically Change Variable Types?

May 10, 2010

I'm trying to make an application to do mathematical equations, but I also want to implement error checking. So that if someone doesn't put anything in one of the fields the output textbox will say "Error".

But the problem is that I already declared the variables I used as a numeric value, in my case decimal.

So, when I make an if statement that says if inputbox1="" then outputbox1="Error" it doesn't work.

I think that in order to get this to work I would have to have it setup so that the variable that is exported to the text property of outputbox1 could switch between being declared as a decimal or string value based on what the user put into the textboxes. But I'm not sure how to go about this. Declaring the variables inside the if/elseif statements won't work because the variables need to be declared before they are calculated within my if/elseif statements.

Send Mail Using A Variable To Define The "From" User?

Jun 2, 2011

The company I work for has an application where various users can log in and add their own "clients". Currently, via sql mail a confirmation email goes out to the client who has been added but the "From" value is generic i.e.Admin@CompanyA.com. What we need is a way for an email message to be sent to the new client but have the "From" email be that of the user adding the new client. When a user registers to use our system they supply basic info including their email, so when they log in and then add a client we would like to have an email sent to that client but have the "From" address be that of the logged in user instead of the generic one from our company. The email would have to be sent from our company's server but we want the sendee to be able to directly "reply" to the sender's email.

Reflection - How To Get Variable Names Types / Values In Current Class

Feb 1, 2011

I am working on a project where my class has to execute VB code provided by the user, to make it simple I am trying to recreate my own eval function, I am using the following code I found on the web to do this task.

Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System
Imports System.Text
Imports System.CodeDom.Compiler
Imports System.Reflection
[Code] .....

The problem with code is that it can't access any variables or there values, so I have decided to get the variable names, there values types and there types dynamically and recreate them in the class that is being created dynamically. Any way to get the variable names there types and values in the current class or method, so that I can recreate them, and execute the user passed code, the user knows what variables are in the current class or method and there datatypes but he don't know there values as they may have changed, so he can't initialize them. Is there a way to do this, this code will be called in an asp.net page on page_load event, the code passed by the user is stored in the variable vbCode that is passed as a parameter.

Error : Handles Clause Requires A WithEvents Variable Defined In The Containing Type Of One Of Its Base Types

Mar 25, 2010

I am in the processing of moving an app from VB to C# but some of the classes I will just be moving to VB dlls to access from the main C# app. In doing this I am trying to get the VB dlls to utilize the main C# class lib. In this C# lib I have an abstract clase called base process, it sets up a background worker and handles all the progress tracking, errors, and even reports an ETA. To use this in a derived class in C# you would just do this...

public class SomeLongProcess : Common.Multithreading.BaseProcess
{
public void start()

[code]....

The problem is that if I do the equivelant in VB I get an error "Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable defined in the containing type of one of its base types". Well I can't do a WithEvents in the base class because it is C# so..

Define "what My Variable Will Be"?

Jan 27, 2011

So I have this:

Will it make any difference to just do this?

Dim aBoolean = True

In other languages, I believe it was a good practice to also define the type of variable it would be, for performance or something. I am not entirely sure with VB.NET.
