Converting Types Using Custom Classes?
Sep 16, 2009I'm studying for the MCTS exam 70-536 and have come across the following question:Given the following Visual Basic code sample, which interface must the custom class MyClass implement?
Dim a As MyClass, b As Boolean
a = 42
' Convert using ToBoolean.
b = Convert.ToBoolean(a)
Console.WriteLine("a = {0}, b = {1}", a.ToString, b.ToString)
Before even looking at the possible answers, I can't get past WHY on earth would we be converting the number 42 to a Boolean value?? I tried this and as I suspected it did NOT compile! Is this a trick question or am I missing something? I realized that in order for the code to work, I would need to implement one of the interfaces shown in the multiple choices. STILL, would there EVER be a purpose for this particular conversion?

View 1 RepliesPass Custom Types As Parameters?
Mar 23, 2012I am calling a XML web service (standard web service project based on .NET 3.5) and trying to pass custom types as parameters. The custom types are defined in my consuming code and the web service references an assembly from the consuming code to get access to the types. The serialization is being handled by .NET.
<WebMethod()> _
Public Function MyMethod() As MyType
Dim myValue as new MyType
return myValue
End Function
In my consuming code I created a web reference to the service and the proxy classes were created. I gave the service the namespace "WebService". Next I try to make a call to the service and assign the result from the call to a variable, something like this:
Dim service As New WebService.ServiceNameSoapClient
Dim response As New MyType
response = service.MyMethod()
I get an error from the IDE saying that it cannot convert type mynamespace.WebService.MyType to mynamespace.Entities.MyType. It appears to me that although the types are similar they are being treated as different because of the different namespaces, which makes sense of course.
Edit: So from what I am reading I believe this is by design, that is the proxy types are simply different types and cannot be directly associated with the types in the consuming code.

View 4 RepliesSave One Of Custom Types To The Application Settings?
Mar 9, 2011(using VB.Net 2008) I am trying to save one of my custom types to the application settings. I've read a variety of opinions on the internet about whether this possible.
When creating an app setting, none of my types appear when browsing. However, previously I needed to save off one of my datasets, and it worked simply by hand-entering it as the setting type (ie, I just typed "MyProjectName.DatasetName"). However, when I try the same trick with another custom type that isn't a dataset, I get a "type was not found" error. So I'm a little confused, can the program "find" some custom types and not others?

C# :: Determining Object Equivalence For Value Types, Reference Types And ILists?
Nov 1, 2009I have a class with a Property called 'Value' which is of type Object.Value can be of any type, a structure, a class, an array, IList etc.My problem is with the setter and determining whether the value has changed or not.This is simple enough for value types, but reference types and lists present a problem.For a class, would you assume that the Equals method has been implemented correctly, or just assume that the value has changed every time the setter is called?If I did assume it's changed, then perhaps I should assume it for value types as well, so that the behaviour is consistent.

View 1 RepliesAvoid Closing Of A Custom Combo Box Popup Window In A Custom Datagrid?

View 6 RepliesC# - Custom XML Serialization, Write Custom Root Element?
Mar 15, 2010I'm using custom serialization and when the xml is generated it's putting the class name as the root element
Example:
<MyClassName>
<MyIntendedRootNode>
<ObjectType>
[code]....
I'm invoking the serialization by calling xmlserializer.Serialize(writer,Me) so I'm sure that has something to do with it.I've tried putting XMLRoot onto the class, but I think as vb is compiling this partial class with its aspx page, it's either overwriting this property or ignoring it entirely.I'd like to just tell it to either throw away everything it has and use a different root element.

Asp.net Mvc - Custom AuthorizeAttribute + Custom SiteMapProvider Related?
Jan 12, 2010I have a custom SiteMapProvider (populated from database) and a custom AuthorizeAttribute (validates current users roles + requested page against Role_Page database) for controller classes.I have to implement the function SiteMapProvider.IsAccessibleToUser(context, node). I also have to implement AuthorizeAttribute.AuthorizeCore(context).How are these two functions related? Isn't there some way to 'attribute' the SiteMapProvider?
Some code:
edit: Might this be a solution (inside AuthorizeCore())? context however is HttpContextBase, and IsAccessibleToUser() only takes HttpContext as parameter.If Not SiteMap.Provider.IsAccessibleToUser(context, SiteMap.CurrentNode) Then
current code:

Create Custom Database In Windows Application - Double Click Custom Database File?
Jul 21, 2006With VB.net, I'm coding a simple application to get more used to the new .Net format.
I'd like to save all the information to a 'new' database file. how to create a database on the fly, once that is done i'll be able to connect to it no problem, but actually creating the file is proving difficult to work/find out.
Also, with vb.net and the newly created custom file, how can it be made to automatically open that information with the program?
Is there a method in installation to associate the file type with the new program? How can i check when the program loads if a database file has been 'double-clicked' (rather than just running from the .exe of the program) and proceed to load the data?
EDIT1 - Extra InfoThe windows application has many different fields and content etc, then i need to save that to a file that could later be loaded by 'double clicking'. I assumed the easiest way would be to create a mini-database for each unique file

Custom Type Cannot Be Cast To Custom Type And Losing Will To Live
Jun 10, 2010I have been trying to solve a problem related to using RolesProviders in MVC.Basically I would like to an additional set of criteria to the roles table so that a user can switch roles based on what they are doing on the site.However as simple as it may sound its proving to be a nightmare. I cannot for love nor money come up with a solution. I have tried overloading the provider, creating extension methods (which never work with the Roles class) but finally I decided to simply create a reference to my own custom provider and just completely bypass the whole User, Roles class.Now I am getting a ridiculous error which states that I cannot cast MyProvider class to an instance of MyProvider class? All I am doing is calling the Roles.Provider method and casting its return value to my custom provider class (which inherits from RolesProvider). The asp.net forums are a waste of time since no one ever answers the questions and there are simply no examples of extending the Roles/Membership model without using SQL server.
