I am curious about the string and primitive types. Article like this says string is primitive type. However second article on MSDN does not list string as primitive type. However when I ran the code provided in second article, it displays String is not Primitive type.
View 8 Repliesthere anyway that we can create our own primitive type? let's say we call this
Code:dim test = 4 then test will automatically be an integer right but i wanted this
Code:dim test = 4% and i want test not to be an integer, but a percentage_integer, in other words, my own primitive type. is that possible?
Looking at this table describing the data types in VB.One of the columns is labeled "Nominal storage allocation". What does this mean? Why is the word "nominal" here?
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to extend primitive types such as System.String and System.Int32 (IE: integer) in .Net 4 and if so how?
To be more specific, I am aware of the concept of partial classes but this doesnt seem to be the answer. Also I find that System.String is not inheritable and Int32 is a structure.
Lastly I am interested in knowing both a VB.Net and C# answer to the above question.
I'm in the process of porting an old excel addin that was writen in VBA to VB .NET. The Excel addin interacts with a number of external com objects. The code sorta looks like this:[code...]
What I'm trying to do is read the string from the COM object and get it in durr for use later in my program.
That second line results in the exception posted above. If I try casting with CStr/CType I get the same exception.
The visual studio watch window reports the type of hurr.getString as a "System.__ComObject" whereas the VBA watch window reports the type as "Variant/Object/String".
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Information.TypeName(hurr.getString) says the type is "String".
my code is :

Anyone have any insight on the Big O notation for comparisons for a LINQ Except query using primitive datatypes? I couldn't find anything on google.

Now m trying to convert this to C#, but im a little confused as to exactly the meaning of this line:
If lbytRelayStateMask And (2 ^ lintCounter) Then It appears there something going on behind the scenes (that ill have to examine further) however before i do i would just like to clarify the result of this if statement. Am i correct in saying if either one of the sub-expressions equals zero then its false, otherwise its true? Sorry, im not too up to speed on VB.net.
Is there any class or specific method for getting non-primitive types in an assembly? FieldInfo.Gettype() will do for primtive types but what about non-primitive types?

I now have SQL Parameters set up and I'm using them to save/delete/add my data. This all works well, except when it's trying to save a combobox to the datatable it appears with the error above.Majority of my comboboxes have datasources, and the valuemembers of these are the actual list items, not the ID's of the list items.I'm not sure why this error could be happening, I'm fairly sure I've connected everything to the binding source correctly; I've checked it a few times.Does anybody know what the cause of this could be? I've looked around a bit and I haven't found much

addressing the need for getting the bytes of an object. But I am wondering if there is an approach to calling BitConverter.GetBytes on a generic type where I know the type is a primitive (Int32, UInt16, etc).
Public Sub Foobar(Of T as Structure)()
Dim x as T 'Assume T is declared as Int32
Dim y() as Byte
y = System.BitConverter.GetBytes(x)
End Sub
The above will throw your usual error:
Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'GetBytes' can be called with these arguments:
'Public Shared Function GetBytes(value As Double) As Byte()': Value of type 'T' cannot be converted to 'Double'.
'Public Shared Function GetBytes(value As Single) As Byte()': Value of type 'T' cannot be converted to 'Single'.

One solution I think would work is a large Select Case calling GetType(), but that is horrendously slow (because of boxing) and looks ugly. I would think that since I call my higher level class with a primitive data type for T, that the compiler would be smart enough to figure it out, but I assume I am not providing enough information for it to derive what T's underlying value is at compile time for the invoked instances.

Given a list of objects, I'd like to print a string version of them just in case the object.ToString() result is a relevant string.By that I mean I don't want to get things like:
obj.ToString() -> System.Collections.Generic.List`1[MyLib.Dude]
obj.ToString() -> System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.Int32,System.DateTime]
obj.ToString() -> System.Byte[]
But I want to get things like:
obj.ToString() -> Hi
obj.ToString() -> 129847.123
obj.ToString() -> Id = 123
What should be the best way to implement this in a method:
Public Sub PrintInterestingStuffOnly(ByVal coolList as Ilist(Of Object))
For Each obj in coolList

In my form only one field - Add_info is an optional field which might be filled or not by the user. Before, I had an error when an apostrophe was used so i updated the code as highlighted below. This in return removed the apostrophe error but generated an error whenever there is an empty additional field. [code]
