Outlook Automation Type Casting?
Feb 26, 2009When writing some Outlook code in VS2005, I came across a situation that, to me, does not make any sense. For reference, the version of Outlook running on this machine is Outlook 2003.The program I'm writing is designed to iterate through the emails in the inbox, to identify certain types of emails based on their subjects and bodies, and then to generate new emails based on the existing ones. However, the problem that I'm having is with simply iterating through the collection of items that comes from the Inbox folder. Specifically, what happens is that this line consistently fails on items that should be processed:
Current_Item = CType(The_Items.Item(Counter), Outlook.MailItem)

How To Avoid Type Casting Exceptions When Using The Wmplib
Sep 7, 2011Hmmmm having discovered that using the mciAPI doesn't utilise 5.1 sound, but using a virtual WMP does - I started a new approach to my multimedia project using some code from the net. BUT I keep getting exceptions (particularly with type casting). In the subrountine 'Player_PlayStateChange'.
The listing (see below) is now well commented by me. Can anybody please help concerning the damn annoying exceptions and stop me pulling my hair out.

Cast Array In Object Variable To Type In System.Type Variable?
Apr 14, 2010I have this function:

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:

Cast A Variable To A Type Represented By Another Type Variable?
Oct 10, 2009I'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();

Casting Early Bound Object Type Into Late Bound Object Type?
Jul 5, 2010I've got a piece of code in a project (MyProject) that contains early bound object from a referenced assembly (We'll call it CommonAssembly):

now I have another assembly that is dynamically loaded because it is not present in all projects:
Dim myLateBoundObject As Object = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap("Utils", "Utils.MyLateBoundType")

Program Function - Says, "The Type For Variable [variable] Will Not Be Inferred Because It Is Bound To A Field
May 18, 2012Public Class Form1
Dim x, c, number(0 To 19) As Integer
Dim s As Integer
[CODE]...
The variables in the brackets [example] do not actually have brackets in them in the original code. These are where the issues are. For both variables, it says, "The type for variable [variable] will not be inferred because it is bound to a field in an enclosing scope. Either change the name of [variable], or use the fully qualified name (for example, 'Me.[variable]' or 'MyBase.[variable]')." Now, I'm not entirely sure if this is a stupid question or not, as I'm used to VB '98 because that's what we use in my programming class at High School. let me know why this won't work.
-Note: The intention of this program is to continually loop the generation of numbers for this list until I tell it to stop. Button1 ends the program, Button2 generates the list one time only, Button3 is supposed to loop the generation of the list, and Button4 is supposed to end the loop, but not the program.
Variable Naming Conventions To Illustrate Variable Type And Where Variables Are Declared
Aug 24, 2009I am looking for a good resource on variable naming conventions to illustrate variable type and where variables are declared. So I will have public variables, Private variables, private or local variables. I also may want to declare variables with the same name in different class code (i.e. in the code behind different forms). I am assuming good coding would dicatate a prefix for declaration location.

C# - Copy Object Of Type AA To An Empty Variable Of Type BB?
Feb 15, 2010Writing 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!

VS 2010 Custom Type Array / List With Adding Items And Specifying Custom Type Variable
Jun 21, 2011I recently downloaded VB 2010 Express so i am quite new to the language, but i have worked with dark basic, which seems to b very similar.Anyway, my problem is that i cannot seem to correctly set out my array of a custom type/class. i am trying to create two arrays, one of available entities and another of selected entities of which the user selects the entities to be dealt with in irrelevant ways. i have creates a button (called test) which adds some entities to the available list and all the entities come back the same value but they shouldnt be as you'll c in the code. i have run the step into command a found that "available.item(#).Name = " will change all of the entity's names.As of current i am working with lists as the array kept asking for a 'new' statement but i couldnt figure out where to put it.[code]

View 6 RepliesCheck The Final Type Of A Variable?
Sep 6, 2010I have a BaseClass, a DerivedClass1 and a DerivedClass2 from a third party library. DerivedClass1 and DerivedClass2 both inherit from BaseClass.There's a ContainerClass, from the same library, with a member variable ActiveItem, which can be of DerivedClass1 or DerivedClass2, so it is declared as BaseClass.I want to know if ActiveItem is of DerivedClass1, as it can change in runtime without notice.If I do
Dim isDerivedClass1 as boolean = TypeOf(oject.ActiveItem) Is DerivedClass1
then I get a compile time error, telling me that ActiveItem can never be of DerivedClass1 type.I have tried several combinations of GetType and TypeOf but it doesn't seem possible to check this. I have also tried to declare an auxiliary DerivedClass1 variable and comparing their types, but haven't got any luck either.

Detect Variable *name* (not Type) Within A Function?

- relies upon reflection

- I'd rather store the binding information somewhere other than ID, but don't know where else it could go within the aspx definition. Moving the binding declaration to the code behind would be better in some ways, but worse in others.
