C# - Use-cases For IsLittleEndian In BitConverter Class?
Jun 20, 2011
I was so happy when I discovered IsLittleEndian field in BitConverter. I thought of course it should be there and I should be able to specify whatever endian I like. Well, my happiness didn't last long. Spent some time till found out that there is no way to set the field.The field is readonly, and it is only set to true in static constructor:
[Code]...
My question is: how come there is very useful piece of code that is already implemented and sitting there in the FCL, but there is no way to use it (unless you start messing with reflection of course)? Is it just because some developers didn't meet the deadline and left the job half-done? Even if so, why the code is not available, but the field is?I hope there is a good reason for this.
I want to make myself clear. I don't need a solution on how to handle big-endian values. I do have a solution. The solution is actually shown in my question.

Given the following information
Public Enum Request As Byte
None = 0
Identity = 1
License = 2
End Enum
Protected mType As Communication.Request
mType = Communication.Request.Identity
Debug.Print (BitConverter.GetBytes(mType).Length.tostring)
2
Why does bitconverter report that mType is a length of 2. I would have thought that passing a Byte into BitConverter.GetBytes would just return the Byte. I mean it's no big deal because it's only sending a very small block of data across a TCP Socket, but I'm just intrigued why it thinks it's 2 bytes.

I am new to vb net so please cut me some slack if this is a stupid question, I have always used vb6 before, but finding that its less and less supported so trying to learn vb.net by myself. Also I am doing this for a hobby not a profession.I am writing an Console application to read a file sequentially 1 byte at a time into a 1 byte buffer. It then copies that byte into a 4 byte lookup buffer, that moves, ie as the file pointer moves forward by one byte the 4 byte lookup buffer copies the last 3 bytes into the first 3 bytes to accept the byte at the file pointer into the 4th byte of the lookup buffer. I am doing 1 byte at a time because the data I am looking for is not at pre-determind offsets and filesizes may not be a multiple of 4.
[Code]...
Help please its driving me mad It appears as if the byte is not being transferred to the lookup buffer so that it would always be 0, either that or I am not converting it to an integer properly

addressing the need for getting the bytes of an object. But I am wondering if there is an approach to calling BitConverter.GetBytes on a generic type where I know the type is a primitive (Int32, UInt16, etc).
Public Sub Foobar(Of T as Structure)()
Dim x as T 'Assume T is declared as Int32
Dim y() as Byte
y = System.BitConverter.GetBytes(x)
End Sub
The above will throw your usual error:
Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'GetBytes' can be called with these arguments:
'Public Shared Function GetBytes(value As Double) As Byte()': Value of type 'T' cannot be converted to 'Double'.
'Public Shared Function GetBytes(value As Single) As Byte()': Value of type 'T' cannot be converted to 'Single'.
[code]....
One solution I think would work is a large Select Case calling GetType(), but that is horrendously slow (because of boxing) and looks ugly. I would think that since I call my higher level class with a primitive data type for T, that the compiler would be smart enough to figure it out, but I assume I am not providing enough information for it to derive what T's underlying value is at compile time for the invoked instances.

I have been programming for alot of time. Generally i program in some languages like PHP, ASP.net, Java, JavaScript and others. In all languages i have to use alot of if else statments . Like if value= 10 then ... if i review my code then i find alot of if conditions. So i would like to minimise them but how not sure. one point was using classes somewhat minimised but still they are more... like task, cat, sec and type:

I have a DataGridView and one column has DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn type .The datagrid loads from selected items of a listbox.I need to hide Check box cell in this grid according to the item. It means some items should not have checkbox in that cell(I have the list of those items which should not have checkbox in that cell).

This LINQ to SQL query From g In Db.Context.Current.Groups Select g.GroupID
generates this SQL:
SELECT [t0].[GroupID] FROM [dbo].[Groups] AS [t0]But this query From g In Db.Context.Current.Groups
Select g.GroupID, g.MemberCount
[Code]...
I very much want to select only the fields I need. How can I persuade LINQ to SQL not to select all columns?

I can't remember very well the instances where my selected items has disappeared as if I did a "Reset ToolBox", the last time I remember was when I installed the Service Pack early this year. But last year I think it has been reset frequently and I find it bothersome to reselect all those items again and again.Is there any configuration that I could set so that my selected items are safeguarded, that is they won't be removed no matter what?

I am having trouble figuring out what I need to do in order to get the program to drop into the different cases. I am suppose to be doing a case block for this assignment. I believe everything else is good but it always outputs the first case and doesn't progress down depending on the inputs. I tried to number them case 1, case 2, etc.. Here is the code

Im trying to to detect what is in the string and so something for each different result but im not sure howto, here was my first idea but it obviously doesnt work as you cant use contains that way:
Select Case omg.Contains
Case "1"
MsgBox("1")
Case "2"
MsgBox("2")
End Select

I am working with cases, I'm only learning it so far, but just can't get a drop down menu to work that would change the background of a Textbox.
Private Sub cbColours_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cbColours.SelectedIndexChanged
Select Case colours
Case Is = "Red"
txtSpace.BackColor = Color.Red
[Code] .....
It isn't doing anything at all...
In the dropdown menu, it has
Red, Blue and Green one per line
When the value (e.g. Green) is clicked, it will then change the Textbox to the colour selected.

What purpose do protected or private (non-static) events in .NET really serve?It seems like any private or protected event is more easily handled via a virtual method. I can (somewhat) see the need for this in static events, but not for normal events. Have you had a use case before that clearly demonstrates a need or advantage for a non-static protected or private event?

Classes that inherits Class J and classes that are within Class J are all sub classes of Class J?

I have put this code in the global form Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form. And then in the form that will inherit this from the global Inherits MenuStrip. "MenuStrip" is what the global form is called. But keep getting this error: Error1Base class 'MenuStrip' specified for class 'Lesson2' cannot be different from the base class 'System.Windows.Forms.Form' of one of its other partial types.

so I used to mess around with C#, just a little. And someone had helped me make a class for Visual C# that was supposed to do the math parts for "internal structure" - which the program used for a part of its calculations and screen... Basically there were 2 options. Endo-Steel and Standard. The user would use a updownbox to determine weight of the machine and then internal structure was a % of that total. If it was standard then it was 10% of the overall weight, if it was Endo-Steel then it was 50% of standard (so 5% of total weight) rounded to next 0.5 (so .25 was .5, 1.25 was 1.5, 1.75 was 2.0, etc). I have the code for the C# class file for it, but want to make it in VB.

I've been creating short test apps repeatedly to try to understand some of the concepts in VB.NET.For the most part it has been illuminating.I read Bucky's .NET knowlegebase tutorial on passing objects as parameters to newly created forms. He shows how to create a new class that inherits from the base form class and define a New() method with parameters Extending the concept I thought about doing the same thing with a form that was created at design-time (In this case Form2).

Example:
Two files - TestClass.vb, myForm.vb
TestClass.vb looks as follows:
Imports System.Threading
Public Class TestClass
Private myClassThread As New Thread(AddressOf StartMyClassThread)
[code]....
The result:Application runs, no errors or exceptions.Displayed is the listbox and the Start button.I press the start button and a msgbox says "Not Invoked" as expected and upon clicking OK to that msgbox "Start Button Pressed" is added to the Output listbox control.Immediately following that the msgbox pops up again and says "Not Invoked". I was expecting "Invoked" as a separate thread is trying to use the Output listbox control.Of course this results in the Output.Items.Add being attempted which results in no visible result as the thread is not allowed to directly update the UI control.
