C++ - Using DLL Import/Declare With Parameter Types Not Used By .NET?

Jun 25, 2010

I am working on a project where I have to import a DLL file into a VB project that was created a few years back. The DLL was created in C++, and looks like:

void CoordinateConversionService::convert( SourceOrTarget::Enum sourceDirection, SourceOrTarget::Enum targetDirection, CoordinateTuple* sourceCoordinates, Accuracy* sourceAccuracy, CoordinateTuple& targetCoordinates, Accuracy& targetAccuracy )

I am an intern at my job, and I haven't had to use this yet, so my understanding is extremely limited, along with my usage of VB (I'm a C++/C# guy). Here are a few questions:

1) Looking at Dllimport, it seems like the last part outside of the parameters is a return type. Example code from another site:

<DllImport("advapi32.dll")> _
Public Function GetUserName( _
ByVal lpBuffer As StringBuilder, _
ByRef nSize As Integer) As Boolean

Is "As Boolean" the return type? If so, I tried using "Sub" and it says "Keyword does not name a type." Hence why I looked into declare, because it seems I CAN return void/sub as a return type.

2) Trying to use the types "CoordinateTuple" and "Accuracy" give me problems, saying that they aren't defined. How do I get around this since I don't think I can really define them, and what about the fact that they're pointers?

C# :: Determining Object Equivalence For Value Types, Reference Types And ILists?

Nov 1, 2009

I 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.

ToolTips, Parameter Options, And Parameter Groups For New Code?

Dec 10, 2008

One of the things that I think is really cool about VB.NET is how built-in functions and subs have extra help text in their ToolTips like "Expression: String expression to search for replace string." as well as the usual "Replace(...parameters...) as string" text. So are the pop up boxes with things like "CompareMethod.Binary" or "CompareMethod.Text." And finally I like how some functions and subs have different sets of parameters for the same routine. For example, New FileStream() starts with either a path (string) parameter or handle parameter, but none of the 15 sets of parameters contain both path and handle parameters. Is there a way that I can set up the classes and functions I write to use these things or do they only work with built in classes and functions? If there is a way, what are the proper names for them so I can look them up in the VS/VB documentation? I would be happy enough if someone would give me an example of them, but it would be nicer if I could go through the documentation and find out if there are other cool things that are related or near by.

Declare An Object In Vb?

Mar 16, 2011

In asp.net (VB) if i try doing the same

Dim house = new Object()
house.window="square"

i get an error: System.MissingMemberException: Public member 'window' on type 'Object' not found.

Do i have to create a house class before i can reference house.window? Is there no way to do it without creating a class?
