is there a difference in performance when making properties static/shared that were instance properties before, maybe any locking mechanisms?There is a heavily used object in HttpCache which was accessible through a property in a page-instance(Service.aspx). Now i wonder if it would be better to make it static because the HttpCache is shared across the application anyway.

I know it has something to do with the fact that the first function is shared and the second function should probably be Public as well but I don't fully understand the reason behind it. Probably not relevant but I'm calling the web method from some javascript.
I have a class called PunchEvent. In the class I have an Enum called EventReason. I want to have a function Public Function ReasonToString(ByVal Reason As EventReason) As String. That is defined "near" the class (ie in the same file?) but is not actually part of the class (ie. it is not a member function). In c++ I guess this would be a static function? I tried to just define it after the "end class", but it says "statement is not in a valid namespace". Any recommendations?

I am currently working on a project witch contains lots of functions and properties. These functions and properties are stored in the dll. If I reference to this from within my project, these functions and properties are all in the same namespace or class. (I don;t know how it is called)Example:If I type the root namespace: Functions. I get all the functions. I would like to organize them in:
Functions.Maths (All the functions involving maths)
Functions.Internet (All the functions involving the internet)
Functions.Language (All the functions involving languages)
I tried using classes but I cant access the properties when they are stored in a class. I don't know why.

how to implement UI, BL and DAL in a project the way that I see it as a requirement for some projects. The way I am able to do a project now is from a form create an object of a class in which there are properties and functions that do database selects, updates and deletes. Looks to me that doing a project like that is separating the UI from the DAL. In an update button click event I may call Obj. Delete (txtCustID.txt) for example. I don't understand the part of further breaking it down to include a Business layer; in which a vb solution is made up of three solutions.What goes in the BL?Does the BL call the DAL?

While converting types, I have found myself using both VB functions and BCL Convert.To* methods.
E.g.)
Cstr() vs. Convert.ToString()
CInt() vs. Convert.ToInt32()
CDbl() vs. Convert.ToInt64()
etc...
Are there any subtle differences that should be noted?
Is there a way to see exactly what the functions are doing. What i mean is there a way to see the class? I know what it does, i just want to know the code.

View 2 RepliesI'm making a control and I am trying to finalize my design time properties grid. I have several List(of Class) items as public properties and when I click on the design time menu (while testing the control) there is the word "Collection" and a button with an ellipsis (...) that brings up a neat pop up with the buttons Add/remove and all of the public properties of the collection's class on the right hand side. Basically for a non-collection instance of a class (with public properties) I'd like a similar button to show up. I know I could put all of the properties in the main control class and group them, but I like the pop up box feature. Anyway to duplicate this? (think font grid item etc.)
View 3 RepliesIn the form design I set up a TableLayoutPanel, 20x20 cells and in cell (1,1) a PictureBox (called Target) containing the image of a small target. The properties box for Target shows some very promising properties, Column and Row - and if you overwrite the values in the properties box, the PictureBox obligingly shifts to the corresponding cell position in th design. However in VB it is not possible to refer to Me.Target.Row or .Column - neither appears during coding in the menu of properties, and deliberately coding either of them produces an error like
Error 1 'row' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox'.
1. Why does the properties box show properties that cannot be altered programmatically?
2. How can my program move Target around in the TableLayoutPanel?
Is there a way to expose a UserControl's properties to the Properties Window in the Designer?
View 3 RepliesI'm working on a Hazardous Materials label printing program. One of the options is to do an "NFPA" label. Since there are 4 values required with 4 or 6 options, the ratings are entered via radio buttons in a group box. That's working okay. I display values in the NFPA diamond as they're entered: left quadrant blue, top quadrant red, left yellow, bottom red. I'm having trouble with the label in which the rating will be displayed on top of a jpg diamond for the white. In this quadrant the text can be up to 4 characters. I can accept the text going into an adjacent block a little, but the corners of the label overlap into another quadrant/color. I reduced the font size which solved the overlap problem but the font is then too small and looks terrible. I tried to make the background of the label transparent to let the color come through correctly but that's not a valid value for label.background. I'm figuring that the transparent background is the best solution. What can I use that will accept a transparent background so the color shows through?
I'm trying to set the transparent property via label properties properties, not via code. Here's the code if it makes any difference:
Public Class NFPA
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Close()
End Sub

I'm redoing a program for my company and my boss wanted me to created the entire thing through functions...
For the task I wanted to know is it possible to have functions within functions?
Sort of like in C where we would have nested structures?
Its a FILE I/O, with robot commands, moves and verifications....
So I would find the line in an excel spreadsheet where it moves, the coordinate, put it into an array.
Take the actual results store them into a two dimensional array...etc, etc....
Another function would eventually compare the results with the moves, and within a tolerance.

I am rewriting a C# class in VB. The C# class has a static constructor in it:
static Class()
{
...
}
which, through the Call Stack, I found is called by the main window's InitializeComponent() method.Everywhere I've looked has told me that the corresponding static constructor in VB is just:Shared Sub New()
but this method is never invoked. Am I creating my VB static constructor right? Is it likely something else that has nothing to do with my static constructor?
I am writing a code for a webapplication in vb.net. I am using a shared variable in the vb code.
Consider the static variable value is 3 for a user who hits the web application. Again when another user hits the same web application, whether the static variable will be 3 again or whether he will have a separate value for static variable for his session?
This will probably be a basic questions for the LINQ & architecture experts however I am failing to understand a problem i've encounted when trying to update a 'Static ObservableCollection.
Me.Grid1.ItemsSource = ContactList Me.Grid2.ItemsSource = From s In ContactList Where s.ContactTypes.Any(Function(t) t.ContactTypeName = "Christmas List")
If I add a new Contact with the ContactType "Christmas List" to the ContactList ObservableCollection, Grid1 reflects the additional Contact however Grid2 does not reflect the change unless I rebind.
Anyway to Reflect the change in Grid2 to show the new Contact with the queried ContactType
