Is there a way to define an implicit conversion operator in VB.NET?
I can't remember ever seeing or hearing of anyone do this; but now I'm in a situation where I think it would be incredibly useful to define my own custom 'type conversion' for my class.
As an example - let's say I have my own class, 'AwesomeDataManager'. It does not inherit from DataTable, but it holds data in a similar fashion to a DataTable. I would to be able to say, 'myDataTable = CType(MyAwesomeDataManager, DataTable)' and have it execute some code inside my class that would return a populated DataTable.
Granted, I could do something like 'MyAwesomeDataManager.GetDataTable' but for the sake of integrating with an existing code base, I'd like to avoid it.
I've got this MustInherit class called ViewerElement, from which derive classes like ViewerLine, ViewerImage, etc.Then, in the main program I have a collection of different elements (Images, Lines, etc.). What I want to do is something like the following:

I'm getting desperate to implement this Clone method without getting errors. How should this be de done?
Error1Option Strict On does not allow narrowing in implicit type conversions between method 'Private Sub searchResult_SearchFileMatches(sender As Object, e As Jam.Shell.FileMatchEventArgs)' and delegate 'Delegate Sub EventHandler(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)'. on RED Text
Public MustInherit Class Column Public ReadOnly Property ReturnSomethingUseful() As Object Get 'return something useful
[code]....
But this gives the following error:
Public Overrides Function ParseValue(sValue As String) As Boolean' cannot override 'Public Overridable Function ParseValue(sValue As String) As Object' because they differ by their return types.
I accept that you can't do this, but I'd like to be able to preserve the semantics of what I'm. trying to do, which is to have an untyped version that deals with Object, but a typed version in derived classes that knows about the specific type T.
I created a Class which inherits Combobox and the listview is added . Now what I need is once the user click listview, the listview has to close and the clicked item has to added with combobox text. simply can say combobox1.text = listview.item(0).textFor closing & displaying the listview I need to handle the events. For

I am working on a new version of my clipboard manager. I was wondering if there would be a way to copy the value of a given handle without knowing its type? The current methods I know require one person to know the type of the handle (as an example by using Marshal.PtrToStructure).
I have defined 5 variables T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 As Double and set them all = 0. On a form I have a enter information button. Each time the button is pressed I want to assign a different variable, to a text box input. For instance, If I enter 1 that will become T1, and then if I enter 2 and press the button again, that value becomes T2.
I have tried If T1 = 0 then T1 = textbox.text End if If T1<>0 And T2 = 0 then T2 = textbox.text End if
I have tried to use 'else' statements and all kinds of things like that to no avail. I can get the first two variables correctly assigned but three is impossible with my current understanding. Is there a way to do this, or do I need 5 buttons, so that I can control which variable is assigned? To be correct my intent is to create an observation with three variables each time the button is pressed.
For example, the first button press will result in three variables being assigned a value other than 0; they are T1, B1, and R1. I have just begun to understand the concept of arrays and am wondering if that may be the way to go in this situation. I was just going at this in a newbie way I'm sure and trying to handle each variable type individually, and figure out all the T* variables and move onto the B* variables.
I have written some C/C++ code that uses the winapi functions CreateFile WriteFile SetFilePointer etc. to read & write some large (>4 GB) binary files. Some colleagues who are more familier with Visual basic than C, want to modify some of their existing code to call my C code functions.
I have turned my code into DLLs that I have successfully called from other C programs. I have also created a small C DLL that doesn't use the winapi functions & called it from a small VB program.
What I haven't so far been unable to do is pass the HANDLE type variable between a C function that uses the winapi functions & the VB program that call it so the VB can call another of my functions & pass the HANDLE.
In my attempt to do this, the declarations in the header file for two of the functions in the C DLL are:

When I step through the VB code in debug mode there is no problem with calling OpenSegyRW, but at WriteToSegy I get the error message:System.Runtime.InteropServices.MarshalDirectiveException was unhandled
Message=PInvoke restriction: cannot return variants.So what am I doing wrong & is there any way to pass the winapi HANDLE type between VB & C code? BTW indents etc. get lost when I paste my message into the forum. I hope this is decipherable.
Is there a way I can catch and handle two different exceptions within the same exception type? For example:
Try ' My code Catch ex As System.Net.WebException End Try
I have 2 different exceptions that are System.Net.WebException. I want to handle them different ways. Problem is the catch block above catches them both. Is there a way I can determine if which of the two it is and handle them differently?
Say I have a button that creates more buttons with a random .Text property, and placed them on the form in different locations. And since these buttons are being created at runtime, I want to be able to have an event handler for all button controls on the form that makes the form's text the same as the sender's text.
I was testing article [URL] to see if I could use this to populate a listview2 with the icons from Directory.GetFiles(apath) and getDirectories. If you go into c:windowssystem32 the program will hang for about 4 mins then if you go back to windows then back to system32 you will get the error.
win32 handle that was passed to icon is not valid or is the wrong type.

I found this same project on these boards already however I received an error and was seeing if someone could see what I did wrong.

I usually use the developer fusion online code converter to convert code snippets from C# to VB.NET.It partially fails especially in LINQ or complex interface / inheritance scenarios. What are your experiences with other converters? Can you recommend another tool or website?
I am rather new to OOP and I have, what may be, a simple question. I am developing an architecture for a project that includes some object inheritence trees. I have been running into a bunch of narrowing conversion issues (the old 'Unable to cast object of type x to x' error). I understand the limitations of narrowing conversions and why this error exists, but I'm not quite sure how to get around it architecturally. Here is an analogous problem to mine...
Have been obsessed with DataTypes recently and would like some thoughts, etc. on the following: What's going on is when the BindingSource.PositionChanged Event fires, I capture an Integer relating to another tables Primary Key and then filter that DataTable to select the matching record.
So the focus of the question lies in the first 3 lines in the event. First example creates 2 objects, 2 lines of code. Second example does it all with one line... not sure if it creates only one object or not, seemingly not.. can't tell for sure. Which is "better"? Am I really approaching this from the right angle? Beside y'all here on this forum and Google, I'm self-taught and looking for some validation.
Here is my code so far trying to sort the array. The only problem is with Option Strict On, it throws errors on sortedarray(i), and all of the j-1's, j's.Error is dissallows conversions from long to integer
I am struggling to get this to output calculations correctly. Have I properly made my conversions between decimal,string and so forth. Is that the only reason that a calculation would not produce the right result or is there another reason? I have negative total results for output when they should be positive.
Dim decAmount As Decimal Dim decInterestRate As Decimal Dim mdecFutureValue As Decimal
i am using integer for days and miles, and the calculation is for money so i am using decimal in one function i am allowed to CDec the days for the calculation and the next function it gives me an error.
I dont see where what i am doing is any different than the other.

How do I correct the error Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from 'Double' to 'Integer'. ? The two lines below that divide by 2 are causing the error.
Private Function StringToByteArray(ByVal hex As String) As Byte() Dim NumberChars As Int16 = CShort(hex.Length) Dim bytes As Byte() Dim i As Integer = 0 bytes = New Byte(NumberChars / 2) {}

I get the error for both highlighted red parts = Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from 'Integer' to 'Short'. Also I get = Option Strict On disallows operands of type Object for operator '='. Use the 'Is' operator to test for object identity.
I have an error in my VB.net program - I have tried various casts etc but it just will not resolve the issue - so reluctantly I post it here to see if anyone else has a similar problem.

I wrote an application to handle a joystick with directinput. It works fine if it uses the handle of the main window but it doesnt happen the same if the handle is the one of the component that contains the joystick's operation.
I mean:
main form handle: 15
component handle (which is inside the window and the joystick needs the focus of this component to work): 25
It always work if the handle i initilizate the device is the main form (15).How can i use only the handle of the component?
When I have Option Strict ON in my project, the IDE tells me that "Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from 'System.Data.ParameterDirection' to 'String'." How can this be, since I'm using their built-in enumeration for the SqlParameter direction.
