When using the visual studio 2008 debugger with c# i can right-click on a variable and choose "Make Object ID" which allows me to watch that object (via it's ID) regardless of whether it is in the current stack frame or not.
When the debugger is in VB code, (doesnt matter if it's run from a c# unit test or a vb unit test) That option isn't there. Where did VB put this feature? Or does it simply not support it like so many other helpful c# features?
where the VS debugger refuses to show certain field types including dates.My call stack contains FunctionA which calls FunctionB. FunctionB has about 45 parameters and many of them are dates.When I step into functionA,
1. the debugger refuses to show a date variable when you hold the mouse over it. It just shows {Date} instead of a value
2. If you do quick watch on that same variable, it also just shows {Date} instead of a value
3. If I do ?variablename in the immediate window, I get "System Error &H80131c23&"
When I comment out the call to functionB, the date variables all show correctly in all the above methods. I will stress that the code has not yet reached functionB, just its very existence in code screws up the debugger.I'm thinking this is a memory issue and maybe vs debugger can't cope with a huge function stack frame dataspace.devenv is only using 268Meg of ram on a 2Meg box, with not much else running. Thats reasonable for this size of project.
I just recently had to rebuild my development environment from scratch. I've noticed that when I'm in debugging mode and I have a breakpoint set on a Procedure or Function, instead of stepping into that P or F, it just executes it without actually stepping thru the code. What do I need to change in my "Tools" and "Options" area?
I've reviewed the other posts regarding this subject. I'm using VB from Excel and the function keys are not working. I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium with Office Ultimate 2007 Looks like Excel is running VB 6.5So, this used to work for me...I've used the debugger quite a bit. When I try the solutions suggested Tools->Options->Keyboard (after checking check-box to show all settings) when I click on the box just below "Apply the following additional keyboard scheme" the only item in the list is default. There is no selection for VB 6 or anything else for that matter.
I am working on a application that has quite a few functions involved and have been thinking of the following: If I have a function that has a few paramaters, is it more efficient to pass the objects to the function(Example 1) or reference the objects in the parent(Example 2)? Does it matter if the objects are large or not?
Example:
Class mainform Public myGenericList As New List(Of String) Public myDatarowArray() As DataRow
I call the function GetDataTable and when it gets to the return line, I get the error message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Dim DB As New DBConn Dim gd As New DataAccess.GetData Dim DT As New DataTable
[Code].....
Updated. I'll see if I can update with the DataAccess.GetData code. I didn't originally put it in there because our shop use it all the time and have no issues with it.
i wanted to ask how to make picturebox1 ,to which functions are already assigned, perform the same function as picturebox2 ,to which no functions are assigned.For example:I have already made picturebox1 and have assigned it alot of function like when play button is pressed then picturebox1.visible = true and when we press pause button picturebox1.visible = false. So now i decided to make a theme and have to remove the picturebox1 and want to allow the picturebox2 to havefunction of picturebox1.But when i disable the theme the function of picturebox1 should go back to picturebox1.
Ok i need to make an object in this case a picture box draw a line to another picture box with the shortest length while avoiding other type of objects such as labels i am not sure how to do this but so far i have come up with
Private Sub ProgressBar1_ParentChanged(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles ProgressBar1.ParentChanged If ProgressBar1.Value = 50 Then
Each business object has a matching object that contains sql calls. I'd like to restrict these sql objects in a way where they can only be used by the matching business object. How can this be achieved?
Update Greg brought up the point about testability. Since the SqlObjects will contain very business-process specific sql I don't want them reused in multiple buiness objects. (Basic CRUD operations are all code-generated) Is there a way to make the SqlObjects accessible to only one business object in the business assembly (like yshuditelu and Greg Beech showed) AND expose the SqlObjects to the unit testing assembly?
I've got a basic logon form where if you enter the right password/username, it redirects you to the "MainMenu" Form How can I make a function called "checkLogon" that checks the username/password text to a variable in that function?
I need to work with object whose values are taken from database. I do the database scan in Function scan and it seems to run well. But i still have the problem, how to get values (result of function scan) out of the function? [code]
If an object is created inside a function and the function returns that type of oject how is the memory handled.
Example:
Public Function GetEmployee(employeeid as integer) as employee Dim oEmployee as new employee oEmployee.FirstName="Bob"
[code]....
Does the variable that receive the object still a pointer to the memory location that was used inside the function?What about when you do a oEmployee2=oEmployee.Is oEmployee2 just a pointer? And any changes to oEmployee will now affect the other. Just trying to understand it from a memory perspective and how that scope works?
I'm trying to give a default value to the register property method. This required a function, but passed as an object(delegate?).[code]....
I want to call that registerproperty method, but I don't know how I can do that in VB.net. I just need to pass along a new Person object and I thought this was the way to go[code]....
I'm trying to return an object from a function. E.g. Ive got a function populateDog that returns Dog. So in my aspx class I want to be able to be able to pass in Lassie as the name of the dog(I have a dog class) and have the function return the object with the data it populated. [Code] The idea was to have a database and I would eventually pass in an ID to query results and return it.
If I dimension an object as below, do I need to set the object to Nothing before the function is exited, or does it get destroyed when the function exits?
vb Public Function FileTitle(ByVal FullPath As String) As String Dim subjectfile As System.IO.FileInfo = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFileInfo(FullPath) Return subjectfile.Name End Function
I am unsure if there is a simpler way to get substrings from objects other than strings but in any case, I created a quick function to trim any object type if converted to string. Normally the .Substring method is reserved for string. However, this simple workaround allows you to easily get substrings of doubles, integers,
I'm not having any errors from these pieces of code, they're just empty everytime. I'm wondering if I perhaps have created them incorrectly. Dim l As New Log() l.Log = "Attempted staff login with username [" & txtUsername.Text & "]" l.LogId = 0 l.StaffId = 4 l.LogDate = Date.Now() l.Insert() .Insert() is picked up in my BLL layer by these two functions; [Code] ......
This should be a fairly common question, but I haven't found a straightforward answer anywhere.
If I instantiate an object within a function in VB.NET and return it, does it return it be reference or by value. IE - should I be worried about performance if I write something like this:
Public Function ret_obj_func() As big_object Dim ret_obj As New big_obj(<lots of stuff>) Return ret_obj End Function
If I call this function from somewhere else, will it instantiate the object in the ret_obj and then create a deep copy to pass back a copy to the caller, Or will it just pass back a reference?
How do you pass a control (say a textbox) to a function as a parameter in compiled assembly using CodeDom? I've tried passing through the args in the Invoke method but it doesn't work.[code]...
I'm needing to go through all the controls on a page, looking for a specific one. We've got a bunch of user controls, a masterpage, content panel, &c.
The basic idea is simple, but once I find the control I want, say five 'layers' in, the control is returned only one level.
I know I can do something cheesy like having a private variable and assigning the control to that down in the rabbit hole, but I figure there must be a more official method of doing this.[code]...
I am trying to create an object dynamically with CreateObject function. The code is below but it gives error:"ActiveX object can't be created" while calling the CreateObject function.
Public Class Form1 Public Delegate Sub DButtonClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Private Sub DButton1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) MsgBox("You hit me")
How can I create a function that returns an object of a certain type, which the user of the function specify in the argument (using vb.net 2010) ?
[Code]...
The code above doesn't work, but maybe it can explain what I want to achieve. Using this feature, I want to hydrate my data transfer objects from datatable. Client will just call this function, specifying which DTO the client wants, and this function will just create that DTO and populating the properties with reflection GetType.GetProperties().
