I'm writing a class library in .NET that wraps a COM dll and exposes specific functionality to be consumed by other .NET code. The COM library has several enumerations defined and I've used some of the enum types as parameters like so:
//C#
public void TransactionTypeSetByEnum(COMComponent.TransactionType transType)
{
this.TransactionType = transType
[Code]....
I maintain a WinForms application that uses a third party COM component. We recently upgraded to a new version of the component with some additional properties/features (all old properties are intact), but I could not get Visual Studio to detect the new properties. It acted very much like it was hanging onto a reference to the old version of the component. Here are the steps I took to try to clear it:
Deleted the form that was consuming the component (copied out code first). The only control on this form was the third party component.
Removed the reference to the old component Deleted the bin and obj folders in the solution directory so that the PIA's would get newly created when I added the new control Uninstalled the old component, installed the new one Opened the solution, added the reference to the new component Added a form to the application, dropped the component onto the form and gave it the same name the old control had (so that the rest of the application didn't have to be refactored Pasted the form code back in place At that point the application would compile and run, but I could not get Intellisense to detect the new properties, and if I put them in place anyways the application would not compile. Nothing I tried would get the new properties to show.
I have just received an interesting feedback from a VB.NET customer using our product - for some reason intellisense hidden a certain enumeration value.After a small testing I have found that this is likely a bug in IntelliSense: [URL]..To be honest, I did not expect this problem with such a basic stuff like this. Have you seen this in the past? For me, it doesn't work in all VS versions...
Anyway, feel free to track this issue if you are coding in VB.NET.

View 3 RepliesI'm using VB.NET but this question applies to any OO language - Java, C# etc. I've tagged the question with Java and C# but will remove if not considered appropriate. I have an entity class ClassAAA that contains a reference to ClassBBB as one of it's attributes:
Public Class ClassAAA
Private Property _blah As ClassBBB = Nothing
Private Property _somethingElse As String
Private Property _anotherthing As String
' Make it private so cannot instantiate class without supplying ClassBBB '
[Code] .....
I could make the ClassBBB reference public (or supply a public getter method) but that would expose the inner workings of ClassAAA. What I'm thinking of doing is making the ClassBBB reference Friend so that it is only visible in the assembly i.e. a data layer and is not visible to client projects. But this stills feel like I'm exposing the inner workings of the class.
I have a VB6 object that is wrapped by a .NET class. As far as I recall it is possible to step through a VB6 object (compiled as a library) by simply running the VB6 library and inserting a breakpoint at the desired location.However this does not appear to be working in my case. I have attempted to recompile the VB6 object and re-reference it in my .NET project but this doesn't appear to have helped. there a way to insert Debugger.Launch() equivalent into a VB6 project?
View 1 RepliesI have a Listview and each ListviewItem has an image with a height of 90 pixels. This means that the Listview rows are also about 90 pixels high, enough room to show the subitems text word wrapped.
The only way to wordwrap text is to draw it myself, as far as I know, because the Listview has no property for that. I'm using the code below, which works fine, except I'm having some problems with centering the text vertically.

View 2 RepliesI have a .NET exe that I wrote and it has a couple properties that I made public and want to expose.
I want to shell this exe (Process.Start()) and then somehow reference this exe and get access to these public properties. These properties expose information about the running exe.
I know how to shell to the exe. And I know how to add a reference to the exe from my project that I want to use this object. But how do I get access to the properties of this running exe?
If you do know the answer maybe you could just tell me what the standard method is to expose properties of a running exe to another application at run-time.
Say I have a class that stores a value, and raises events when that value is changed:

also say that I have a container class which contains a number of objects of this style, and raises its own event when any contained object changes its value:

Given this setup, what is the best way to expose the stored variables in the StoreEventMonitors class? As three integers As three RaiseEventWhenStoredValueChanges objects?there is a good reason to use three different event-raising Objects, instead of simply writing a new class which stores three integers.
I have a Public Class called "ClientConnection". Inside that class, I have a Public ReadOnly Property called "FileTransfers(ByVal TransferID)". The property returns an object of the class "FileTransfer". All methods in FileTransfer are set to public.
VS is able to discover the methods inside the parent class "ClientConnection". How would I expose the methods inside the sub-class "FileTransfer" that is returned by the property "FileTransfers(ByVal TransferID)"?
Public Class ClientConnection
'irreverent code removed
Public ReadOnly Property FileTransfers(ByVal TransferID As Integer)

Does this mean that the type is not set up correctly?If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room

I am using an inherited form extensively for the first time, and I'd like to know if what I'm doing is correct.I have a base form with a grid and four buttons (Add, Edit, Remove and Close). There is no functionality in any of the button click events, as the specific implementation of each derived form will be different. The only exception perhaps is that the Close button closes the form. The only reason I am using a base form really is because I've many forms that look the same.How do I now expose the button click events to any derived forms? The only straightforward way I could think of was to have the button click events call an Overridable method, which I then override in the derived form:
Public Class frmTableBase
Private Sub btnAdd_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAdd.Click
Me.AddButtonClicked()[code]...
Is that the correct way? It seems a little bit overkill to have to do this, although I can't think of another way really... Perhaps I could add the Overridable keyword to the event handlers themselves (and make them public)..?I'm doing it the way I showed now however. It works, but I'd just like to know if this is the generally accepted way of doing this.
