Can Objects With Null Values Be Serialized
Dec 27, 2011I have used XML serialization to persist objects in my application but I am now interested in using null- able Data types for properties. Will I still be able to serialize?

View 6 RepliesI have a thought about using a Serializable Collection containing both data objects and also sub-collections as a low-grade database, meaning it's going to store data objects that are expected to be added to regularly and deleted from occasionally.
View 3 RepliesThis is my first post on here--I've been teaching myself VB via forums like this and MSDN for about 2 years now. I'm programming a computerized economics experiment, and I'm using a communications package that a guy I worked with developed. He and I have been going back and forth trying to figure out what the heck is going on.
The upshot of the communications package is that there's a serializeable MQMessage class that we send back and forth, essentially just a package of an integer (Type), string (Text), and Object (Data). Most of the time, this goes according to plan.
The problem is this: If the client receives two or more messages back-to-back, the client stops raising the MessageArrived event. (and presumably, the same would hold true for the server--I should test this, but jeez-oh-man, I've been running test after test for the last week).It's still connected, as on disconnect it throws the "Socket forcibly closed" exception. When it receives multiple messages sequentially, it's still receiving the data, it just never knows when the first message ends, and the buffer just keeps filling and filling. The problem seems to be that it can never successfully Deserialize the MQMessage object, and so it returns Nothing on the getCompletedMessage function and just keeps adding to the buffer (ABuffer.Length goes 1024, 2048, etc.).
Changing datatypes of properties of serialized objects?
View 1 RepliesHow can I send and recieve serialized objects over a TCP connection with size and data type values in the header (within array(0) and array(1) values)?I know how to serialize and send the object using BinaryFormatter.Serialize.I dont know how to take the recieved data and put it into an array of bytes().Also - on the receiving end I dont know the size of the object sent therefore I dont know when to stop reading the data stream so I cant use: Dim Obj As ClassName = DirectCast(BinaryFormatter.Deserialize(Stream), ClassName).

I am working on creating an application (game) for a PocketPC with Visual Studio2005 in VB/.NET. I try to dynamically create a (new)button upon clicking a label and assigning certain properties to this button. For this I used below displayed code, but this button does not appear on 'Form1' - which is big enough to display it- but creates an error: A NullReferenceException. Such occurs when you try to reference an object in your code that does not exist, but I think I just did by using'..New..' Who can tell me what is wrong and how to fix this? [Code]
View 16 RepliesI have an RDLC report that I am rendering directly to the Response Stream as PDF (rather than using the ReportViewer). In the code that renders the report, it's DataSource is bound to a List(Of ClassA) objects defined in a custom assembly. This seems to work for the most part. My problem is that I can't seem to handle the situation where a nested object is null. For example, given ClassA and ClassB (the nested object) defined as follows:
Public Class ClassA
Public Id As Integer
Public Name As String
[Code]....
the report displays "#Error" if TheNestedObject is null. If TheNestedObject is not null, it correctly displays the Name.
I've come across an error I'm not quite sure how to get rid of, I've got a listview with listview items making up the grid, I've got values coming from a database populating the cells however if there are any null values(in this case, there's null values in the date) it crashes my program. I'm not quite sure of a way to allow the listview to have null values in it, I figured it would default allow it but that's not the case.[code]....

Dim i As Integer

I have a databound DataGridView and use a button to control updates.
The problem is that if a db Column does not allow a null value an error is thrown ("Column <ID> does not allow null values") and then the datagridview automatically removes the row. This error is raised as soon as the user leaves the cell and before the update command is issued.

I have an SQL query that gets a max value so that I can decide the next value to use in an ID field. The code works fine when there's a matching result, but if the query returns Null, it throws a Specified Cast is Invalid error.This is the code I'm using:
LastID = DirectCast(SQLQuery.ExecuteScalar(), Integer)
What would be the proper way to check for a null value?

I'm trying to import my xls files to sql server, but i saw some values become null even though data in excel values are exist.
below is my connection string :

This error occurs while i'm importing the alphanumeric values into text, but previous values are numeric (but string datatyped).
I have a bunch of tables who share the same kind of information, but each table has a different name for each. (There was no standardization on the naming scheme). Some tables have important data that others do not contain. Some tables that have shared important data, but they are null values. I'm writing a program to combine all the tables into one master table.
The problem is when I read in a field, the reader.getvalue(i) is null, and I cannot use that value to insert into my new master table, obviously. The null values are so random, and I cannot write IF THEN statements for every single field for every single table in the database. I'd have thousands of lines of code constantly checking for nulls, and then trying to figure out what to do with them. What can I do to convert these reader values from NULL into something VB/SQL can handle? ere is the code so you can get a picture of how I'm approaching this problem:

So I'm writing a simple piece of code to take a series of strings, go through them, and replace and add values as needed, and then dump them all out to a text box. However, when I run the code I'm getting 3 null characters at the end of each line except for the last one. What am I doing wrong?

Have read most of the null value posts here, and I have managed to get things working as far as a "next record" button for my database application form (there's some awesome advice on this forum!). I have just one question, though. How do you manage saving of blank text box values from a form? I am using JET, but when I try to save an updated file that has a null value, it is not letting me. I got around it by forcing the text boxes with null values to contain " ", but obviously this is not the bext solution!

I'm confused at the variety of different ways to say "null" in VB.net. I've got text and numerical fields with checkboxes to mark unknown values; I just want to populate a table with the fields' values (if the corresponding checkbox is not checked) or null values (if checked) so I can later input them into a mySQL database.So my question is just which of the various null types I should be using in what situations.

I have a database that has null date values in it. When I call the columns from the database with the null datetime values and display it in the datetimepicker text box using a dataset, theres always values in the datetimepicker text box. It sets everything that was in the database with null values to the current date. This is what i have..
DateOPStartedRevisionDateTimePicker.Text = ds.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item(13).ToString
I just cant figure out a way to get the datetimepicker text box to display nothing if the values are null in the database.

What are NULL values? Sometimes when I try to assign a query to variable, I get error saying:
Type-Cast-Error. txtMiddleName.Text = Reader.GetString(2)
How can I put it that if the value of the Middle is nothing then txtMiddleName.Text = "". Working on VS 2010 (VB.net) EDIT 1: This is the error Message I get (Line 364 is the above mentioned code)
