When an instantiated class calls a method in the parent form class, VB.NET starts a new instance of the form class instead of calling the method on to the active one.How do I tell it that I have just one instance of my form class, or that I don't want to create a new instance of the form and just call the method on the already active form?
View 2 RepliesI hate to see the name of the class used as a string parameter like "FileDownloader" in the code, and I would like to use something like this FileDownloader.Name(), where FileDownloader is name of the class.Only problem is that I can't find out how to do that without instantiating object or creating a static method..Is there a way to get a class name in .net without having the object instance and without creating a static method that returns the name of the class?

Base class has one field to hold numeric balance value. With 2 methods that accept arguments for adding and subtracting the new input calculating new balance. Sub class has four fields dates, transaction, memo and amount.I have a deposit form, and withdraw form. Each time one transaction is entered it creates an object with sub class fields, then adds to the account collection. My problem is not understanding how to call the deposit/withdraw method and pass the current transaction amount back to the base class to alculate the new balance. Does anyone have any links to information/tutorials on how to perform something like this? As you can see with my code I have tried various different approaches without any success.

i want to which way is better when concentration is on processing speed. i want to call a method that compute some data that method is on another form in my windows form application then what you prefer is better way 1) to call that method in another form and use returned value or create similar method in form where it is required.i want to make it's processing fast.

I have a C# dll and want to use it in VB.NET. I'm using C# 2008 Express and VB 2008 Express. I have added a reference in a VB project to the C# dll. When I create an instane of a class in the C# dll, it gives the following error messsage: "Type 'RF.RabinFingerprint' has no constructors". My C# dll code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;

REF: http:[url].....The above reference is where I got the code below.This code adds buttons to Form1. When a button is clicked a messagebox appears stating what button was clicked. I want to have the ClickHandler fill a RichTextBox on Form1 (I added a RTB to Form1). My problem is I can't do a Dim xForm As New Form1 to fill the RTB from the ButtonArray Class. I can place my file's text in a MessageBox so I know the code I added is correct. I also tried placing a Property method on Form1 and using a Accessor to fill the RTB, however it also requires Dim xForm As New Form1. How can I get my data from files to the RichTextBox on Form1 from the ClickHandler in the ButtonArray Class? See ButtonArray Class Below.
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Text
Imports System.Collections.CollectionBase[code].....
there is The (Name) property, which represents the name of the Form class.This property is used within the namespace to uniquely identify the class that the Form is an instance of and, in the case of Visual Basic, is used to access the default instance of the form.
Now where this Default Instance come from, why can't C# have a equivalent method to this.Also for example to show a form in C# we do something like this:
//Only method
Form1 frm = new Form1();
frm.Show();
But in VB.Net we have both ways to do it:
//'First common method (used slash because editor wouldn't format it properly)
Form1.Show();
//'Second method
Dim frm as New Form1();
frm.Show();
1) My question comes from this first method. What is this Form1, is it an instance of Form1 or the Form1 class itself. Now as i mentioned above the Form name is the Default instance in VB.Net. But we also know that Form1 is a class defined in Designer so how can the names be same for both the Instance and class name. If Form1 is Class then there is no (StaticShared) method named Show().So where does this method come from.
2) What difference they have in the generated IL
3) And finally why C# can't have an equivalent of this.

Dim ass as Assembly = Assembly.LoadFile("sample.dll")
Now, I want to call the shared method using the class name.
I have a class file framebuild with a class command and class commandlist(of command). I fill the comandlist with a method in the class commandlist, to do that I make in the class commandlist a new instance of commandlist. But now in form4 I want to make a listbox which represents the commandlist. Then I also should make a new instance of a new instance? It is no problem to fill the list in the class instance but I want to fill it in the form.vb

Property name As String = ""
Property hexname As Byte = &H0
Property framelength As Byte = &H0

I'm sure I've seen this done in 4.0 but can't remember how it is done.
Basically I want to instantiate a class and call a method of that class on the same line of code.
So something like this
Dim s as String = new myClass().getTestString()
A friend in work suggested the use on classe to store the parameters BEFORE call a method. He's said this is called "Abstract Class". My "know how" of VB.NET is small... so, I want to know of you what mode is the best way: Call a function/sub like that:

Under Visual Basic 2010, I am trying to define a specific instance of a static method that was created as a Java class. I have a vendor supplied dll added in as a reference.[code]...
But, I can't seem to define a specific instance of this method. Using "IntegrationMethod.getIntegrationMode()"always returns a value of zero.
There doesn't appear to be any way to "setIntegrationMode" to a specific value.
The documentatoin for this Class as provided by the vendor are shown below.
When I asked the vendor for assistance, their response was: "

View 2 RepliesIs it possible to instantiate a new class object within a Form Procedure where it is accessible to all other Procedures/Functions within the Form Module? For example, I have a Client Class Module that contains properties and Methods that reflect a Client DB Table. All the properties and Methods within this class are Public. So, when I instantiate a new instance within a Procedure, I declare it as such:
Private Sub cmdNewClient_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdNewClient.Click
Try
Dim client as New clsClient
[code]....
Normally, I would declare a new instance of this Class Object at the beginning of a Form Module. I'm trying to do this in order to have more control.
well basically i created a new instance of Form1 because i do not like to use a default form instance. but of course doing so gives me 2 Form1s. is there anyway to stop the default form instance from being generated? [code]

I have program requirement, I need to call an existing form to an MDI form by using a new form button and when I click it of course it will show my existing form, but I want is to create a new instance of the existing form, which make the the other forms different from one another inheriting the controls of the form I called. What I mean is I can create many child forms inheriting the controls of the existing form I called.

Instatiating a Class using a name in a String?
I have two projects as part of my solution:
Project: Font End
Project: Control Classes
In my front end project i have a string list of all the control classes. I need to instantiate the class into an object using the string name. How can I do this? The class must be of the right type and not just object?
I would like to catch any exceptions from any method in a class so that I may record class specific data to the exception for logging before it is passed up the stack. I know that I can put a try-catch in every method of the class, but there are many methods and It seems there should be a more efficient way. Example of what I am currently doing:
public class ClassA
{
private int x;

I have a strange problem with creating an instance of a form which I want to use as a custom message box.
The idea is that when the user clicks the button to perform a database search, an instance of this form is loaded. The background image of the form never displays but the text on the form does - but it all works fine when I remove the call to the database.
I also tried putting a "proper" VB message box just before the database call and when I block it this way it seems to allow the image to draw on the form.I also tried using a timer delay before the database call - just a couple of seconds to see if that would allow it time to draw the image.

I am using background worker to report progress on the screen. In the Main.vb I have the following
Public Sub report(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.ProgressChangedEventArgs) Handles bwlistener.ProgressChanged
Dim message As String = e.UserState
logRTB.AppendText(message & vbCrLf)
End Sub
When I call this from Main.vb I use:
bwlistener.ReportProgress(0, "Some status text goes here")
It works great. The problem is when I try to call it from any other module in my project.
When I call it OtherFile.vb:
Main.bwlistener.ReportProgress(0, "Some status text goes here")
It doesn't work... The program doesn't crash. Debug goes through everything but no output is actually shown to the end user.
I have two forms. A main form and then another form that you can change settings in. Now when I click on the menu item to get to the settings form I get this error. "An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: The form referred to itself during construction from a default instance, which led to infinite recursion. Within the Form's constructor refer to the form using 'Me.'"I've tried these codes.
frmSettings.Show()
Application.Run(frmSettings)
those didn't work so i tried these
dim settings as new form = frmSettings
settings.show()
dim settings as form

and those didn't work. I'm using visual studio 2010 Pro.
I've been creating short test apps repeatedly to try to understand some of the concepts in VB.NET.For the most part it has been illuminating.I read Bucky's .NET knowlegebase tutorial on passing objects as parameters to newly created forms. He shows how to create a new class that inherits from the base form class and define a New() method with parameters Extending the concept I thought about doing the same thing with a form that was created at design-time (In this case Form2).

In form2.vb how to use variable number and method test

MSDN says this in regards to something im doing.
Whatever, does it mean?
In Visual Studio 2010, create a VB.net Windows Forms App. Add 2 forms: Form1 and Form2. In the Form1 Load event type Form2.Close(). Now if we look in the method definition Close() is not a static (shared) method. So how is this possible to compile or to work at run time.
Furthermore, do the same thing in C# and Form2.Close(); doesn't compile.
What's going on? Why is this possible in VB.net and what is actually happening when that line of code is executed?
