C# - VB6 Variant Type To .NET Type?

Jul 13, 2010

I have some VB6 code that can't be modified easily that looks like this:

Dim cCount as Long
Dim rCount as Long
Dim result()
Set mx = CreateObject("Component.Class")
Dim rtn = mx.GetList(rCount,cCount,result)

The method it calls is currently a VB6 component that we've migrated to .NET with one issue. We're not sure what type the result() is looking for since it's a variant type. We've tried object, object[], object[][], string, string[], etc, none of which have worked.

Here's an example:

public bool GetList(ref long rCount, ref long cCount, ref object result)
{
...
}

I've even tried setting the third param to VariantWrapper since it will add ByRef as necessary:

public bool GetList(ref long rCount, ref long cCount, VariantWrapper result)
{
...
}

what I can set the incoming result to be so that I don't have an unhandled exception?I've created a test Interface (for COM), test Class, and test VB6 app to ensure it was an issue with the Variant. So, it's defined like so:

.NET Interface:

[DispId(1)]
[ComVisible(true)]
string Test(ref object[] value);

Determining If A Type Is A Reference Type Or Value Type

Oct 13, 2010

I've come from a Assembler and C/C++ background, so I understand the concept behind reference types versus value types in vb.net. Also, I've read Jon Skeet's article regarding references and value types and I understand all of that. My question is: How can you tell if a given type is a reference type or a value type? Is it simply that all integral types (ints, floats, etc.) are value types and all classes are reference types? (If so, where do strings fall?)

Error: Microsoft.VisualBasic: Conversion From Type 'DataRowView' To Type 'String' Is Not Valid

May 25, 2011

I now have SQL Parameters set up and I'm using them to save/delete/add my data. This all works well, except when it's trying to save a combobox to the datatable it appears with the error above.Majority of my comboboxes have datasources, and the valuemembers of these are the actual list items, not the ID's of the list items.I'm not sure why this error could be happening, I'm fairly sure I've connected everything to the binding source correctly; I've checked it a few times.Does anybody know what the cause of this could be? I've looked around a bit and I haven't found much

Unable To Cast Object Of Type 'IMAPI2FS.FsiStreamClass' To Type 'IMAPI2.IStream'

Apr 13, 2011

I am implementing IMAPI2 into my vb.net project but ran into a wall. I am getting the message Unable to cast object of type 'IMAPI2FS.FsiStreamClass' to type 'IMAPI2.IStream' when trying to start the burn. I googled around and found this is something that microsoft hasn't fixed.. which basically renders IMAPI2 useless in vb.net.

I found a post on codeproject.com by eric hadden who combined the IMAPI2.dll and IMAPI2fs.dll into an c# interop file. I also see the IBURN interop in microsoft SDK samples. I'd like to use either, but it's in c# and I'm using vb express. Does anyone know a way to get the interop into visual basic or a way around "Unable to cast object of type 'IMAPI2FS.FsiStreamClass' to type 'IMAPI2.IStream'"?

Warning: Type Library Exporter Encountered A Generic Type Instance In A Signature

May 5, 2009

I'm compiling a VB.Net 2.0 app (created in VS2008) using msbuild, and now I've added a generic return type, it's giving me the following:

Warning: Type library exporter encountered a generic type instance in a signature. Generic code may not be exported to COM.

Having just spent ages removing all of the previous warnings, I don't really want to add a new one. Any idea how to get rid of it (aside from not using generics)?I don't know what details I'd put in the attribute, or what number to put in the project-level ignore list.

Conversion From Type 'DBNull' To Type 'Decimal' Is Not Valid When Field Has Data?

Feb 7, 2012

I am pulling data from a local MSSQL database using a stored procedure, then send the data to a web service. Every part of the component works well except for a pesky problem will a DBNull being returned from the DataRow field, when I know that the field is not null and has valid data. The database and associated INSERT statements that add to this field are designed to not allow NULL entries. When I debug break the program on or right before the line that throws the error I see that the field has valid data for the current row.If I add a null check to the code (as below) the operation continues as normal:

Dim dataResultsTable = Me.myViewTableAdapter.GetData(int)
For Each myDataRow In dataResultsTable.Rows
If worker.CancellationPending Then

[code]....

Why is the read operation returning DBNull instead of the data in the database?

EDIT: Just to be clear, the operation does return the proper data, but the data is not being saved into the variable.

Declare Time - 'Conversion From Type 'Timespan' To Type 'integer' Is Not Valid'

Feb 21, 2012

I declare my dates as the following in my code:

Dim DeliveryDate as Date

But i am now trying to declare time however i keep getting an error because i cannot get the type correct. I tried the following but get the following error: "Conversion from type 'Timespan' to type 'integer' is not valid".

Dim DeliveryTime as DateTime
Dim DeliveryTime as Integer

In my database the DeliveryTime type is set to Time(7) so i would assume there should be 'Time' which i could use to declare it, but there isnt. What is the correct type i should be using?

Here is my exact code. There error is Input string was not in correct format:

GraphDate4 = String.Empty
DeliveryProducts = "{ name: 'DeliveryProducts', data: ["

I'm using a date/time picker control and sending the db value to it. I know that the value is null, but I don't understand why the Picker can't be blank. Is there a way to let it be blank? Or should I set up a way to check for nulls and assign today's date or something just in case?
