Calling A Method Over Variable Of Type Object In Vb And C#

Jul 5, 2009

in vb I can do that

sub SetFocusControl(byref ctl as object)
ctl.Focus
end sub

in c# the compiler complaint that object doesn't have a Focus method

void SetFocusControl(ref object ctl)
{
ctl.Focus();
}

how can I do the same in c#?

.net - Invoking Interface Method Using System.Object Type Variable

Jan 6, 2011

I have an interface ITest with a method GetResult(). I have a class Test which implements ITest and thereby defines private method GetResult().

Next I create an instance of Test in a different class. The code is as below:

Module NewClass
Public Sub New()
Dim i As ITest = New Test()

[Code]....

I am migrating existing code from VB 6 to VB.NET and hence I'm not supposed to change the access modifier of GetResult. Leaving it Private will throw InvalidCastException Unable to cast object of type 'System.Object' to type 'ITest'

Object type variable o is used in many places and hence I don't want to change that. And yes, Test implements ITest.GetMember with a different name.

Cast Array In Object Variable To Type In System.Type Variable?

Apr 14, 2010

I have this function:

Public Sub DoStuff(ByVal type as System.Type, ByVal value as Object)
End Sub

The 'value' argument is always an array of the same type as 'type'. How can I loop through the values of the array?

I'd like to be able to do something like this:

DoStuff(GetType(Integer), New Integer(){1,2,3})
Public Sub DoStuff(ByVal type as System.Type, ByVal value as Object)
//Strongly types arr as Integer()

Constructing An Object And Calling A Method Without Assignment

Apr 15, 2010

I'm not entirely sure what to call what C# does, so I haven't had any luck searching for the VB.Net equivalent syntax (if it exists, which I suspect it probably doesn't).

In c#, you can do this:
public void DoSomething() {
new MyHelper().DoIt(); // works just fine
}

But as far as I can tell, in VB.Net, you must assign the helper object to a local variable or you just get a syntax error:

Public Sub DoSomething()
New MyHelper().DoIt() ' won't compile
End Sub

Just one of those curiosity things I run into from day to day working on mixed language projects - often there is a VB.Net equivalent which uses less than obvious syntax. Anyone?

C# - Copy Object Of Type AA To An Empty Variable Of Type BB?

Feb 15, 2010

Writing an asp.net mvc app and i have something like this...

Public Class AA
'... has some variables...
End Class
Public Class BB

[code]....

So, now in my program, i just want to copy object of type AA to an empty variable of type BB?it makes sense to do this, as i expect all the fields in AA type object to be copied to the newly created BB type object, and the ExtraVariable in the BB type object i would (will) just assign a value to it later (after the copy) on my own time!!I know copying BB type to AA type would not be appropriate as there would be lost data!But im trying to copy AA to BB, I've used both DirectCast and CType to do this, and i keep getting "unable to cast" error!

Note: I'm using vb.net (but can read c#, no problems)

Reflected Method From A Loaded Assembly Executes Before Calling Method?

Jun 9, 2009

When I am loading an Assembly dynamically, then calling a method from it, I appear to be getting the method from Assembly executing before the code in the method that is calling it.It does not appear to be executing in a Serial manner as I would expect. Can anyone shine some light on why this might be happening. Below is some code to illustrate what I am seeing, the code from the some.dll assembly calls a method named PerformLookup. For testing I put a similar MessageBox type output with "PerformLookup Time: " as the text. What I end up seeing is:

First: "PerformLookup Time: 40:842"
Second: "initIndex Time: 45:873"

Use The ToString Method And A Counter To Concatenate A File Name Into A String Variable From The Image.FromFile Method?

Dec 18, 2010

I have nine pictures that I need to animate -I need to use the ToString method and a counter to concatenate a file name into a string variable from the Image.FromFile method. Once the counter reaches its maximum value, and the last picture is displayed, the counter should be reset to zero or one depending on how the first image file has been name. Also a static counter variable should be incremented in the time routine. what I have so far -- I know what I have to do; however, I just do not know how to code this properly.. Right now I have this going thru a button procedure but it needs to go through a timer.

When Calling New On An Object - Can The Object Being Created Refer Back To Its Caller

Nov 11, 2010

I hope the question makes sense, anyways. I'm looking to know if in VB.NET, when we call an object's constructor, is there some kind of a reference that points back to the caller? I'm interested because of a corner case where I want the object being created to first be able to validate the existence of some data in the caller before it allows itself to be created. If this validation fails, I plan on throwing an exception. This corner case will never happen at runtime unless the object being created is used improperly by a programmer. The object being created is not inheriting the object I want it to validate, so I can't do anything with the MyBase qualifier.

It's bit of a "future-proofing" issue that I have a (bad) habit of doing. Not critical -- I can always leave stern comments behind as a last resort. Wanted to know if this was possible.

Cast A Variable To A Type Represented By Another Type Variable?

Oct 10, 2009

I'm aware that questions like this have been asked before and I doubt it's possible, but I just wanted to make 100% sure that it isn't.In VB.net or C# (either language, it doesn't matter), I want to cast a variable to a type represented by another Type variable. Here's an example of the kind of code that would be needed in C#:

Object castMe = new Foo();
Type castTo = typeof(Foo);
Foo beenCast = (castTo.GetRepresentedType())castMe;

LINQ To Entities Does Not Recognize The Method [Type] GetValue[Type]?

Mar 14, 2012

I've a simple class like this:

In a workflow activity, I've an Assign like this:

(From tariffDetail In db.Context.TariffDetails
Where tariffDetial.TariffId = calculationParameter.TariffId).FirstOrDefault()

Dto is passed to Activity as an Input Argument.It raise following error and I'm wondering how to assign Id.LINQ to Entities does not recognize the method 'Int64

GetValue[Int64](System.Activities.LocationReference)' method, and this method cannot be translated into a store expression.

How can I assign the calculationParameter.TariffId to tariffDetial.TariffId?!

UPDATE:Screen shot attached shows that how I'm trying to assign calculationParameter.TariffId to tariffDetail.TariffId (car.Id = Dto.Id) and the query result should assign to CurrentTrafficDetail object.

Calling .DLL Method From Timer_Elapsed?

I have a .dll file (Interop.ACTMULTILib.dll) that I use to connect to a PLC. This .dll contains a sub called ReadDeviceBlock2(byval devicename as string, byval size as integer, byref data as short).My console application startup thingy is a module. When I call this method in my main it works fine, if I call it from another method that was called by main it works as well.However, it doesn't work when I call it from my Timer_Elapsed sub? I guess this has to do something with threads but I can't figure it out.

Private PLC As New ACTMULTILib.ActEasyIF
