I mean why? I mean to organize things I often turn modules into classes where all the methods are share.But then I thought, why not organize them into namespace?But then we can't declare constant in namespace.
View 10 RepliesI have situation where I read a source file, create a temporary text file of the source and modify the temp file. If I open the file twice it appends to the end of the first temp file even though Ihave StreamWriter append set to false. Only if I close and reopen my application does it not append. It like there is buffer or something not getting cleared.Below is the syntax I'm using.

View 4 RepliesWhen building a class library which contains many classes, all classes uses a lot of common constants and functions, what is the best to do:
1- Declare these constants and functions as public in a module.
2- In each class declare constants and functions used by individual class as private.
The first choice is good for easy and fast implementation, but re-using a class in a different project will require importing the module to the other project.The second choice require a lot of copy/paste for code snippet but a class can be re-used in different project easily.
I need to read an xml document from a database record into an XDocument object in order for it to be deserialized. So that the deserialization will work, I need to apply a specific namespace to each of the level 1 elements. So XML looks a bit like this:

View 2 RepliesThis class is located in the namespace Acme.Infrastructure.Interface.A class with the same name EventArgs exists in the System namespace.In another project in my solution I have a class Acme.BusinessModules.MyModule.MyClass.When attempting to use the EventArgs class I have to fully qualify the class name or the compiler thinks I am using the System.EventArgs class.My understanding of namespace resolution was that the compiler would first look for the class in the current namespace, and then its parents. It seems that the compiler checks in System before it checks in sibling namespaces. Is it correct that System is checked before the sibling? Or is this behaviour caused by other issues (Imports order?)?

I am looping through all of the forms in my app, and I am needing to get a value from the form somehow.Example, say if I have the form named "This Form" and somewhere in that form, dont know if you can use the tag property for this or not, but I need to put a word like "Tall" for an external reference to the form.[code]"How do I get another value like the forms tag or something else".

View 2 RepliesI have strMyColor = "Red".I would like to make lblMyLabel.BackColor to be red.Without using a variable the code would be this:
lblMyLabel.BackColor=Color.Red
I tried using the variable like this: lblMyLabel.backcolor="Color." & strMyColor
But the error is that a string can't be converted to System.Draw.Color. I understand that, as the string "Color.Red" is not the same as the VB constant Color.Red.Is there a way I can construct a valid vbConstant from a string?

where i can find out constant value used to control the windows. like i'm using wndproc to disable validation and i use constant value for closing of form and that value is &HF060&
i was also looking for constant value for leaving the form. is there any place where i can find out these values?
Alright, So i have two forms open. One in a listview and i have another window with a browser control in it. The browser is adding data to the listview but i made it so it hides while doing this using Me.Hide(). I can make it appear if i click the menu item "Show browser" i made.when im on Form1 (the listview) and its doing its thing with the browser window hidden. It keeps making form1 flash. Well not flash but like the browser window is poping to the front (while hidden) causing me not to be able to click on anything on Form1.This happen everytime the web browser navigates somewhere.Making Form1 always on top fixes it, but it also gets on top of other programs like my web browser . I want it to be on top only to the web browser.

View 7 RepliesI need some of my initialization code to be blocked off if I am in Design Mode. This code is ran in the new method of the form, so it runs before the DesignTime Property can be set. Is there, or is there a way to setup, a compiler constant which indicates whether or not you are in Design Time.

View 14 RepliesI currently have a table that has a few hidden text boxes... The text boxes become visible when certain actions are performed.
The table though changes size according to when the textboxes are visible or now. Ex. When the textboxes are visible the table grows, and vice versa.
I save a lot of settings in an INI file as 1 (enabled) and 0 (disabled), all around the project's module i have this check If setting = 1 then ' do somethingEnd If ' OR If setting = 0 then ' do somethingEnd If
My question, is it good for performance to declare public constants to hold 1 & 0 and use them in such above checks instead of using real number?
In general, if i use value like 8, 9, "", "$", etc... in just two different places, should i declare constant for it?
Is there any way to put spaces in a C# enum constant? I've read that you can do it in VB by doing this:
Public Enum EnumWithSpaces
ConstantWithoutSpaces
[Constant With Spaces]
[Code]....
That implies to me that the CLR can handle an enum with spaces.
I would like to use a keyword (reserved word) as a constant name in an enumeration.The reason I care about the name is I set a ListBox.DataSource to the .GetValues of the Enum Type.This way the list of constant names show up in the list box and the ListBox.SelectedValue can be tested to determine which constant value has been selected.What I would like to be able to do is as follows:
Enum
Style
As
Byte

I am getting these constant annoying errors in Visual Basic .NET 2010 Express. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one, but these errors are always relating to images and resources The Type 'Global.ExampleProject.My.Resources.Resources' has no property named 'example.png'I am pretty sure these are bug, due to the fact that I get these errors after a while in most of my projects - it's absolutely annoying! Most solutions include removing the resources (commenting them out of the form designer code) and re-importing them... But then the problem comes back again after the project has been loaded a few times!
Microsoft suggest this is rather a user-related issue rather than a bug due to the fact that they can't reproduce the error.I'm still sticking to the belief of this being a bug - anyone get this error alot of the time?This is not the only bug I get - sometimes VB stops working when I try to build my projects!
