Reference To The String In The Heap Is Passed Even When You Pass The String ByVal To A Method?
Mar 2, 2011So strings are reference types right? My understanding is a reference to the string in the heap is passed even when you pass the string ByVal to a method.
String myTestValue = "NotModified";
TestMethod(myTestValue);
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write(myTestValue); /* myTestValue = "NotModified" WTF? *[code].....

Import And Call Unmanaged C Dll With Ansi String "char *" Pointer String From .net?
Mar 11, 2010I have written my own function, which in C would be declared like this, using standard Win32 calling conventions:int Thing( char * command, char * buffer, int * BufSize);I have the following amount of VB figured out, which should import the dll and call this function, wrapping it up to make it easy to call Thing("CommandHere",GetDataBackHere).UPDATE:This code is now a working solution, as shown here:
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports System
Imports System.Text
[Code]...
Updates: I got the code to build by following the help received here, and then I had forgot the As Return Type (which got me a MarshalDirectiveException PInvokeRestriction). Then I had an assertion failure inside my DLL, which lead to an SEHException. Once fixed, this works BEAUTIFULLY. There are newsgroups where people are saying this can not be done, that VB only loads managed dll assemblies (which I guess is the normal thing most VB users are used to).

VS 2008 Different Ways To Call Another Form From A Parent Or Preceding Form
Aug 4, 2009I need to know the proper way, or maybe I should say, the different ways to call another form from a parent or preceding form. I am currently using ex: formname.showdialog() to call my next form, but I am uncertain if I should be using that in every situation. [code] Whats the difference between these different methods?

View 1 RepliesVS 2010 Can't Seem To Get A Reference To Main Form From Sub Form
Jan 28, 2012My app has a main form (it's the startup form). It includes a number of menu items which typically open modal sub forms. However there are 2 menu items which just need to open an Outlook Explorer calendar for the user to manipulate appointments. My VB6 version used hidden sub forms to do this and handle the subsequent interaction between the user and the Outlook objects in the Calendar. I need to stop the user interacting with the main form while the Outlook Explorer is open, ie as if the Explorer window were a modal sub-form to the main form. So I manually disable the main form while the Outlook activity is going on, then (try to) enable it when the user closes the Outlook Explorer window. Problem is I can't seem to get a reference to the main form from the sub form to do this, nor pick up an event in the main form which I could use to trigger the enabling of the main form.An alternative might be to delete the hidden sub forms & put all the code in the main form, but this would be quite ugly; I think I would need to maintain two parallel sets of Outlook objects at the top level in the main form for each of the two functions (a number of the Outlook objects are declared With Events). I would have to have for example mobjOutlookExplorerFunction1 and mobjOutlookExplorerFunction2.

Read A String And Call The Method Of The Same Name?
Nov 2, 2009Is it possible to read a string and call the method of the same name?For example: I have many buttons and if the user presses the button named A1, I want the Sub AI() to be called. I don't want to do an explicit If-Then for each button. Rather a common ONCLICK method that is called by all buttons and another method (the same name as the name of the button) is called.
Example:
Sub Click(byVal buttonName as string)
call ButtonName ' <<<< Error. ButtonName is string and not a Method.
End Sub
