I am trying to check if a type implements the generic Icollection interface, since this is a base interface for any of my generic collections.the below code doesnt work
GetType(ICollection(Of)).IsAssignableFrom(
objValue.GetType().GetGenericTypeDefinition())
whats a good way of detecting if a type implements a generic interface?
I need to know if a Type implements an interface. [Code] because the Interface IRule itself is assignable of IRule what raises a MissingMethodExcpetion if i try to create an instance:
ruleObj = CType(Activator.CreateInstance(typeAsm, True), Rule.IRule)
UPDATE2: IsAssignableFrom in combination with IsAbstract might be the best way to check if a given type implements an interface and is not the interface itself (what throws a MissingMethodException if you try to create an instance).
If GetType(Rule.IRule).IsAssignableFrom(typeAsm) AndAlso Not typeAsm.IsAbstract Then
I had a look through the documentation on the Wiki, but it seems a bit thin. How do I determine if a type implements a given interface using Cecil? For my particular implementation it is important that I do not actually load the type into the AppDomain.m Here's the code that I have so far:
Dim outputModule As ModuleDefinition = ModuleDefinition.ReadModule(outputFile)
For Each assemblyType As TypeDefinition In outputModule.Types

I have 2 classes that Implement 1 EventHandler. Its part of a fingerprint scanner API but I'm having some issue and I'm not sure if it is my fault in how i use the Implements.Is it ok to have 2 different classes Implement the same EventHandler? Each class then uses the events differently within the class but it almost seems like there is some overlap that is causing some issues. I know this is hard to explain without posting code but since i can pinpoint the problem, idk what to post. My main point is, can you have 2 different classes Implement the same Interface?

I've got a web user control (.ascx) which implements a couple of interfaces I wrote; namely IXMLBoundControl and ISectionOverridingControl.I've written a mini-CMS type application that dynamically loads controls onto the page based on information in a database. When I click a button on a web page (.aspx), I want to look at all the controls on that page, and determine if there is a control which implements the ISectionOverridingControl.
I've got my loop and I'm looping through the controls; that's fine. However I'm not sure what the best way is to determine whether or not the control implements the interface. What I'm doing at the moment (and works) is to try to cast each control into the ISectionOverridingControl and catching InvalidCastException: If I don't get the catch; I consider it's worked. If the exception is thrown then it doesn't implement the interface.
It's working, however, I consider this inefficient (relying on exceptions): surely there's a better way in VB.NET (I've seen an example in C# but it didn't convert to VB) to tell whether an instance of a class implements an interface or not?
I have about 1000 webrequest created. Each link will navigate to a website and download a picture to place into a picturebox.
The person will then type in what animal is in the picture into a textbox. Then the user will then hit the submit button to send the name of the animal back to the site.
I am going to implement the use of a thread pool to handle the threading portion of those requests.
What is the best method to get my webrequest into the thread pool (listbox, txt file,etc?) and then how can I setup my button to coordniate with the site that is coming out of the pool to the picture box?
My first thought is to create everything on the fly. The picturebox, the textbox, and the submit button, the webrequest to the site for the picture and back again for the result. Something tells me that I will be taking the long way around to get same result.
My second thought is to have a slew of pictureboxes, textboxes, and buttons already on my screen and then when they come out of the pool and into a thread they would assigned a picturebox, textbox, and button if the others are not busy.
I have an object parameter and I need to check if the object implements a specified interface in vb.net. How to test this?

View 2 RepliesLet's say I have 2 interfaces defined like so:
public interface ISkuItem
{
public string SKU { get; set; }
}
[Code]....
VB.NET explicitly requires you to add Implements IInterfaceName.PropertyName after each property that gets implemented whereas C# simply uses regions to indicate which properties and methods belong to the interface.
Interestingly in VB.NET, on the SKU property, I can specify either Implements ISkuItem.SKU or Implements ICartItem.SKU. Although the template built by VS defaults to ISkuItem, I can also specify ICartItem if I want. Oddly, because C# only uses regions to block out inherited properties, it seems that I can't explicitly specify the implementing interface of SKU in C# like I can in VB.NET.
My question is: Is there any importance behind being able to specify one interface or another to implement properites in VB.NET, and if so, is there a way to mimic this functionality in C#? Furthermore, what is the effect of specifying one interface over another when implementing properites?
Is there a efficient way to provide an Enumarable<SomeType> or a collection that implements INotifyCollectionChanged but that can only be changed from the inside of the providing class.
The following example shows what I mean, but has the disadvantage that the caller can cast the IEnumerable<SomeType> back and then manipulate my internal collection, what I really would dislike:

I have an interface, for the sake of argument called MyInterface.I Have a Control Class, lets name it "Parent" that implements MyInterface.I have another Control Class that inherits Parent, called "Child".I have a final Control Class lets call it "Container", that accepts dragging the parent onto it.[code]I want to modify this not to only accept Parent, but to accept ANYthing that implements MyInterface. I can't figure out how the heck to get it to work. Even more confusing, if I drag the child onto Container, with the code as it is above(checking to see if a Parent was dropped), GetDataPresent always returns false. I would figure it would work, since Child inherited parent.[code]But it bombs and GetDataPresent returns false whether I dragged a Parent or a Child. I'm being an idiot somewhere..

when we have a method of a derived class implementing a method of an interface which is already implemented in the base class, the compiler throws a warning (by default). when i see a warning i will try to erase it and the only way to erase this warning is to mess with the settings of the compiler hence i hope that there is a way to declare "how" a method implements an interface's method. by this i meant that we should be able to declare overridable, overrides and shadows for the implements keyword. hence if we declare overridable-implement for a method of a base class implementing an interface's method, the compiler should give no warnings when we override this implementation (re-implementing in a derived class). Similarly, if the method of the base class implementing an itnerface's method was not declared as ovveridable-implement, the derived class should be able to Shadow the implementation example code which flags unnecessary warning:

I'm not sure that I'm doing the right thing here..I'm writing a user control that's supposed to be (fairly) generic. It's a bit like a modified email client specifically tailored to some of the internal things we do.
The view is composed of two main pieces, a message list and a viewer. I need this viewer to be interchangeable, so if someone wants a different style of view they can simply handle an event and change a property. My original idea was to just have an INoteViewer, but since I'm adding it to my form I also need to guarantee that this object is a Windows.Forms.Control of some sort.
Should I continue along these lines and maybe raise an ArgumentException if I can't cast it to INoteViewer, or should I go a different direction and create a class that inherits from Windows.Forms.Control?
In .net, it's possible to use generics so that a function can accept arguments which support one or more interfaces and derive from a base type, even if there does not exist any single type from which all valid argument types derive. For example, one could say: Sub Foo(Of T As {IInterface1, IInterface2, SomeBaseType})(Param as T) And be allowed to pass any derivative of SomeBaseType which implements both IInterface1 and IInterface2. This will work even if SomeBaseType does not support Interface1 and Interface2, and classes which do implement those interfaces don't share any common ancestor that also implements them. This can be very convenient if one won't need to keep the parameter anywhere after the function has exited. Unfortunately, I can't figure out a way to persist the passed-in parameter in such a way that it can later be passed to a similar function, except perhaps by using Reflection. Is there any nice way of doing that?
The closest I've been able to come up with is to define an interface INest (perhaps not the best name-- thus:
Interface INest(Of Out T)
Function Nest() As T
End Interface
And for any interface that will be used in combination with others or with base-class "constraint", define a generic version as illustrated below:
Interface IFun1
' Any members of the interface go here, e.g. ...'
Sub DoFun1()
[CODE]...
A class which will support multiple interfaces should declare itself as implementing the generic ones, with itself as the type argument.
Class test123a
Inherits sampleBase
Implements IFun1(Of test123a), IFun2(Of test123a), IFun3(Of test123a)
End Class
If that is done, one can define a function argument or class variable that supports multiple constraints thusly: Dim SomeField as IFun1(Of IFun2(Of IFun3(Of sampleBase)))
And then assign to it any class derived from sampleBase, which implements those interfaces. SomeField will implement IFun1; SomeField.Nest will implement IFun2; SomeField.Nest.Nest will implement IFun3. Note that there's no requirement that IFun1, IFun2, IFun3, or sampleBase share any common derivation other than the generic interfaces inheriting from INest(Of T). Note also that, no matter how many INest-derived interfaces a class implements, it only needs to define one implementation of INest(Of T).Nest. Not exactly beautiful, but there are two nice things about it: (1) any concrete class which in fact implements the necessary interfaces can be assigned directly to a field declared as above, without a typecast; (2) while fields which chain the types in a different order are not assignment compatible, they may be typecast to each other. Is there any better way to store something in such a way that it's "known" to support multiple interfaces and derive from a certain base type? Given that one can write such code in a type-safe manner, it would seem like the .net 2.0 CLR could probably support such a thing quite nicely if compilers offered a little assistance.
I was looking through some legacy code we have and I noticed something that struck me as particularly odd.Say we have the concrete class TestClass.

Dim testClass as TestClass = Nothing

testClass = New ITestClass

I am trying to create a class in VB.NET which inherits a base abstract class and also implements an interface. The interface declares a string property called Description. The base class contains a string property called Description. The main class inherits the base class and implements the interface. The existence of the Description property in the base class fulfills the interface requirements. This works fine in C# but causes issues in VB.NET.
