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:
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?
I have a list box that allows multiple values to be selected.Here is my query for my gridview
[Code]...
then before the query is run i use to subtract the final , so i dont get an error and i have to use textbox1.text in my query and not the parameter. that is slower and sql injection,
I am using vb .net & crystal report 11 , I m using 4 parameters in crystal report 1 st is "tcomp" , 2 nd is "tled_name", 3rd is "tdt_form", 4th is "tdt_to", the problem is, when I use first 2 parameters it is working well but when I add other last 2 parameter it's shown error message: ' Declare the parameter related objects. ' Dim crParameterDiscreteValue As ParameterDiscreteValue Dim crParameterFieldDefinitions As ParameterFieldDefinitions Dim crParameterFieldLocation As ParameterFieldDefinition Dim crParameterValues As ParameterValues [Code] .....
i am using vb .net and importing excel sheet to ms access. i am doing this work very well. but i want that when a user select the excel file to import, than user must asked for the data types that he want for the different fields, by default when user imports the excel file it assign the text data type to text filed such as name and number data type to numeric field such as roll_no. but i want that user select the data type according to his need.
code that i use is to import file is given below:
Imports System.Data.OleDb Imports excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel Public Class Form2
I am using VB2008 and SQL Server to populate a DataGridView from a SELECT statement. The SQL SELECT uses a parameter to access the requested row, but I get an error "Must declare the variable '@actionid'." Where and how do I declare @acionid? Here is my code (the error occurs on the Fill command):
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.
Following code doesnt work and raise error "A parameter is missing. [ Parameter ordinal = 1 ]".What s wrong with it?I am developing pocket pc application in vs 2008 and sqlce 3.5 sp1.
I want to have a "template" function that can receive different parameter and a type parameter, like:[code]But Vb told me that tupeList is not defined... is there a way I can do that?
I have a method which requires a parameter to be passed in. I would like to use the Addhandler to call the method through a dynamically created button control's click event.
When I include () in the AddressOf, VS complains: 'AddressOf' operand must be the name of a method (without parentheses).
When I exclude the brackets, VS complains: Method '...' does not have a signature compatible with delegate...
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.
I want to write a program in vb2008 that can import a text file into a Access 2000 database, but using import specifications already in the access database.

I have a vbscript that runs under asp page. I need convert the code to VB.NET
SET objCommand = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command") objCommand.ActiveConnection = Application(DB) With objCommand
[code]....
What is the VB.Net that will do exactly the vbscript does? I like paramer(0) and 1 and 2 etc since I don't need to define the parameter(0) as integer or varchar etc. I remembered I have discuss this before and it is possible to do in VB.NET?
where i put the *'s i get the error "The parameter 'address' cannot be an empty string. Parameter name: address".

I get an error :FatalExecutionEngineError was detectedMessage: The runtime has encountered a fatal error. The address of the error was at 0x79e71bd7, on thread 0x11f0. The error code is 0xc0000005. This error may be a bug in the CLR or in the unsafe or non-verifiable portions of user code. Common sources of this bug include user marshaling errors for COM-interop or PInvoke, which may corrupt the stack.How do I translate it correctly ?
byte[] imageData = new byte[]; SqlCom.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@ImageData", (object)imageData));
which makes the imageData variable as an object.But How do i do this in Visual Basic??
Dim imageData As byte() = new Byte() SqlCom.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@ImageData", ?? ) <-----What Should i do here?
My code is like this
conn.Open() Dim cmd As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("SELECT PhotoID From Photo " & str8 & " And Photo = @Photo", conn) cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Photo", CType(Photo, Object))[code]....
It comes out error like this:The data types image and varbinary are incompatible in the equal to operator. What should I do?
In my VB 6.0 code, I declare have the following line[code]...
However, in VB.NET, I get the error "expecting declaration". Isn't this a declaration statement? Is there a good reference for finding the differences between VB.NET and VB 6.0?
