Jan 9, 2010i would like to hijack the assignment operator and do some customization before an instance of my class is assigned.
example:
Dim A as New MyClass
Dim B as MyClass = A
i want custom the behavior of = is that possible?
Operator Overloading In Getting Some Kind Of Compatibility?
Jul 15, 2010I'm working together with someone on a project, but I'm writing code in VB.Net, and hes coding in VC++. I'm trying to get some kind of compatability going on, so I'm putting my support classes into a VB dll. I've tested it a little, and it seems that all of the functions work, but the operator overloading that I did in VB doesnt seem to carry over to C++.
View 2 RepliesSomething Like Operator Overloading For Only Part Of An Objects Properties?
Aug 21, 2009For good reasons I would like to have something like truckA = truckB + truckC where only the loads of the trucks are added, not the license plate numbers. Also I don't really want to return a new object (lots of overhead), just change one or two of the properties. Only thing I can come up with is truckA.Load = truckB.Load + truckC.Load, or at best truckA.Load = truckB + truckC which still doesn't look elegant, and - worse - still requires the creation of a new Load object.(this is just a way of stating my problem; the real objects are quite big and complicated) Currently I have a Sub isSumOf so the code reads TruckA.isSumOf(truckB, TruckC)
View 4 RepliesError: Option Strict On Disallows Operands Of Type Object For Operator '='. Use The 'Is' Operator To Test For Object Identity
Jan 27, 2010I am tightening up my coding with the Option Strict set to ON. It has now produced alot of errors. An example of this is:
If AllocatedDGV.Rows(i).Cells("RoomNumber").Value = RoomsAvailableDGV.Rows(j).Cells("RoomName").Value Then
It gives me the following error: Option Strict On disallows operands of type Object for operator '='. Use the 'Is' operator to test for object identity.

View 2 RepliesOption Strict On Disallows Operands Of Type Object For Operator Use The 'Is' Operator To Test For Object Identity
Apr 6, 2012I need to write an interface to get data to/from our data files.
We have a low level class that holds field values for each record read from the files.
This just holds two values, the value read from the file (DBValue) and the updated value that may need to be written back to the file (CurrentValue).
These values may be any of the standard value types (integer, date etc) or a string.
Either value (DBValue or CurrentValue) may be null if not defined.
I have written the class to manage this data which works fine while option strict is NOT on.
But we have an office policy of having option strict on all the time.
When I put option strict on, my object value comparisons fail with the error: "Option Strict On disallows operands of type Object for operator '='. Use the 'Is' operator to test for object identity."
Question, how should I change the following code to handle option strict on ...
This is all running on Visual Studio 2010

Overloading A Property's Set Method?
May 12, 2012maybe it's not a method exactly. here's what I'd like to do:
Private _Columns As ArrayList
Public Property Columns() As ArrayList
Get[code]....
which would allow me to conveniently set the property by assigning to it various kinds of collection types... except, I can't do it because apparently the Set method has to take an argument of the type of the property itself... I get the complaint:
'Set' parameter must have the same type as the containing property
is there a way to do this?

.net - Overloading Operators In C++, Exporting And Importing Then In .NET?
Jan 26, 2010I have a weird situation. I have a C++ code that overloads the +,-,* operators and exports them in a .DLL file. Now, I want to import those overloaded operators from within VB.NET code. So it should be like this:
<DllImport("StructDLL.dll")> Public Shared Function
Operator +(ByVal a1 As A, ByVal a2 As A) As A
End Function
So what I'm trying to do above it just import the lovely overloaded operator + from the DLL.Note that the operator is already overloaded from inside the DLL, so should I import it as a Function or as an Operator like this?
<DllImport("StructDLL.dll")> Public Shared
Operator +(ByVal a1 As A, ByVal a2 As A) As A
End Operator
The overloaded plus operator is supposed to add structs. So the DLL is programmed to work on structs (C++) and I want to import it in VB.NET to work on Structures.

Overloading Several Functions In Interface File
Nov 12, 2008I'm trying to overload several functions. These are first defined in an interface:
Code:

View 3 RepliesVS 2010 Overloading Operators For Interfaces
Sep 14, 2011I have a class that implements an interface. Other objects will get an instance via a method like:
Dim AU1 as IAUC = GetAU(<some GUID>)
Dim AU2 as IAUC = GetAU(<some other GUID>)
What I would like to be able to do is this:If AU1 = AU2..The parts of the class that make up the interface could be equal when the rest of the class is not, and the equality of the interface objects (if you can call them that) is complicated. Several fields have to be compared in odd ways.One option I have is to just add an Equality method to the interface, which would work, but I would rather overload the = and <> operators. As far as I can see, you cannot overload operators as part of an interface, but I was hoping that I had overlooked something.
C# - Generic Method Overloading Compilation Error In VB?
Aug 5, 2009I have a problem with the VB.NET compiler failing to compile a class (in a separate C# assembly) which contains two overloads of a method with generic arguments. The equivalent code in C# compiles against the same assembly with no errors. Here are the two method signatures:
protected void SetValue<T>(T newValue, ref T oldValue)
protected void SetValue<T>(T? newValue, ref T? oldValue) where T : struct
Here is the code to three assemblies that demonstrate the problem. The first is the C# assembly with a Base class that implements the generic methods. The second is a C# class derived from Base and calls both overloads of SetValue correctly. The third is a VB class also derived from Base, but fails to compile with the following error message:
[Code]...
Am I doing something wrong in the VB code, or are C# & VB different when it comes to generic overload resolution? If I make the method arguments in Base non-generic then everything compiles correctly, but then I have to implement SetValue for every type that I wish to support.
Duplicate Code And Method Overloading / Overriding

I am looking at an application that has a lot of duplicate code. For example, have a look at the following functions: [code] I would of thought that best pratice would be to put: //code that is specifically relevant to Test1 variable in a separate function as it is common in both functions.
View 2 RepliesFunction Overloading Add Result Type To Parameter Signature?
Dec 7, 2009Can someone on the VB language team explain why a function result type is not part of the parameter signature?If it were then function overloads would also work for functions that only differ by the result type. In some cases, this is useful (aka cleaner code) especially when you have strongly typed data.
Other languages have this and implement it by considering the function result as an OUT parameter either as param 0 or at the end of the param list (stack) so existing type matching verification can be performed by the compiler.
In VB, the workaround is just messy and would be easily fixed by a language change. This example is overly simplified and not meant as a solid justification for the request Say you have a parse requiirement that takes a comma delimited string in the form: "31,32,33,34" or "bob,carol,ted,alice"

Overloading Functions - Overloads In The Abstract Class Implementation ?
Oct 7, 2011I have recently come across some code that has the following. First there is a Interface with the following function Function Validate() As Boolean. That interface is then implemented in the an 'ABSTRACT' class like this.
Public MustOverride Overloads Function Validate() As Boolean Implements IBusinessEntity.Validate
Question 1: Why use Overloads in the Abstract class implementation.
Question 2: The Abstract class is then inherited into a class (TestClass). In TestClass the Validate function is implemented as follows Public Overloads Overrides Function Validate() As Boolean. I understand the Overrides keyword is to insure that this is the version of the Validate that you want called and not the Abstract class version but why again use the keyword Overloads?
From what I understand you can overload a constructor of a class by simply changing the constructor signature. Also, you overload Methods and Properties of a class by using the Keyword Overloads. But why do it when your implementing an Interface method, or an Abstract Class method that's inherited.
