I have a MDI app that I am creating. It, of course, will have multiple MDI child forms. In each child form, I have an options button so that each child form can have it's own set of options. When I click the options button it opens an Options form. This options form is not an MDIChild.
I have a class that contains the child forms options. I pass this class to the options form using a constructor. This is how I call the options form:
Dim dlgPatternOptions As dlgOptions = New dlgOptions(thisPatternOptions)
thisPatternOptions is the class that I am passing to the Options Form.
This works fine and the options form does populate the options correctly. The Options form constructor is this:
Public Sub New(ByRef thePatternOptions As CanvasOptions)
Me.InitializeComponent()
Me.txtCanvasWidth.Text = thePatternOptions.CanvasWidth.ToString
Me.txtCanvasHeight.Text = thePatternOptions.CanvasWidth.ToString
End Sub
I change the options in the options form. How can I get those changes back to the calling form? Do I need to somehow pass a handle of the calling form to the constructor to get the changed values back to the calling form? Is there some way to pass a handle to the options form so that changes made to options will be pushed back to the calling form?
I'm not sure if this is possible or not. I have a number of different classes that implement interface IBar, and have constructors that take a couple of values. Rather than create a bunch of almost identical method, is it possible to have a generic method that will create the appropriate constructor?
private function GetFoo(Of T)(byval p1, byval p2) as List(Of IBar) dim list as new List(Of IBar) dim foo as T ' a loop here for different values of x foo = new T(x,p1) list.Add(foo) ' end of loop return list end function
I get: 'New' cannot be used on a type parameter that does not have a 'New' constraint.
This tells me "End of Statement" is expected. I'm trying to instantiate a new form, and I'm trying to pass information into the form that I will use to populate other data fields on the form.
I've tried looking up constructors, but I can't find where my is different than other examples.
In the inherited class I use the base constructor, but I can't use the class's members calling this base constructor. In this example I have a PicturedLabel that knows its own color and has an image. A TypedLabel : PictureLabel knows its type but uses the base color.
The (base) image that uses TypedLabel should be colored with the (base)color, however, I can't obtain this color

This might seem like an insanely easy question, but I cant seem to find an answer anywhere to it. I'd like to think that I am decent at VB but while I was learning javascript the other day I found something that seemed awesome and now I cant figure out how to do it in VB.in javascript it looks like this
var someValue = getThatValue()Its both calling and setting the value from the getThatValue() sub. what is the VB equivalent?
This problem has driven me mad for over a day now. I can create a connection to the database, I can execute sql and return results from that but I can't seem to call a stored Procedure. Here is the code
[Code]...
it works ok but no results are returned. I've verified that the procedure returns results for the user I'm logged in as. When the query was executing I could see a refcursor in there but it was empty. I must be going mad.
Can a data grid in another open form be refreshed by calling a sub routine? This app has a form with 2 data grids. When the user double click on one of the grids another form is opened that shows data details. After the user changes the details the user clicks a save button. We have placed this code in the Closing event of the the details form.
Private Sub FormParents_FormClosing(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles MyBase.FormClosing FormParentsAndStudents.RefreshDataGrids() End Sub
[Code]...
Can you tell us what additional coding is needed to refresh this data or if we are using the incorrect place to call this code from within the details form?
Given in the following language specification, for me at least, calling Db.Foobar() [In the following code] does not indeed call off to the Shared Constructors of the base classes. I am curious as to a) is this my own fault for doing something wrong or b) is this an error in the language specification[code]...
I have an abstract class which requires a delegate to function. I pass the delegate into the constructor. Now that I have a non default constructor I need to call the abstract class's constructors from the concrete class which means that I need to use MyBase.New(...). I have included a quick example below.
Public MustInherit Class BaseClass Public Delegate Sub WorkMethod() Private _Work As WorkMethod
[code]....
I have tried to do this but I keep getting the following error: "Implicit reference to object under construction is not valid when calling another constructor".Can I not do what I am trying to do above? I initially had the delegate setup in its own setter method. But then I am creating a deceptive API because it does require a point to a method to work properly.
what's the rationale behind this limitation: Constructor call is valid only as the first statement in an instance constructor i want to pass an argument to my constructor which validates this argument and calls mybase.new according to this argument but it doesn't let me
example:
Public Class prob Inherits System.ApplicationException Public Sub New(ByVal problem As String, ByRef inner_exception As Exception)
I need to put following code in the Constructor of my startup form. JohnKenedy.BusinessSQLEXPRInstaller _ins = new JohnKenedy.BusinessSQLEXPRInstaller(" _ <Installation Display Name>", "localhost", "<New database instance name>", _ "<new database name>", "<database password>", "<database backup filename>"); if (_ins.IsDone == false) _ins.ShowDialog(); if (_ins.IsRestart == true) { Application.Exit(); this.Close(); return; } But I really do not know what the Constructor is and how to access it?
I typed this question once already, hit preview, and somehow never got the preview and lost what I typed. It has been that kind of a day.So here is my quick overview then I am going shopping. I am using OLE DB to select from an excel spreadsheet. It has over 15000 rows and 33 columns. Sometimes even when a cell is not null, it is returning a null value. If I just do a "select * where [termination date] is not null", for example, it will return no rows even though I can see with my own eyes that sometimes termination date is not null.
I developed an app, tested on few computers and all seemed fine. But now, some people suddenly get an error, which I can't repeat on my computers. Part of the exception:
** Exception Text ** System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'NumoABC.functionsBurtuSummas' threw an exception. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: 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.' at NumoABC.My.MyProject.MyForms.Create__Instance__[T](T Instance) in 17d14f5c-a337-4978-8281-53493378c1071.vb:line 180 at NumoABC.My.MyProject.MyForms.get_MainForm() [Code] .....
The If Me.Created = False Then is because while the form is loading, some events fire the updatePersonDataHandlers() sub, but I don't want it to happen until form is fully loaded. In the module functionsBurtuSummas line 2 Module functionsBurtuSummas Private f As MainForm = MainForm I have many modules who work with the MainForms' controls, so I use a private variable f to refer to the MainForm.
I've constructed a custom System.Windows.Forms.Form that requires arguments to New. I want to use one of these as the MainForm in a Windows Forms Application. How do I get the Application Framework to pass those arguments as needed?
I want to return a value (vbCancel or vbOK) from a form which is shown as a dialog from the calling form.So, I overloaded the showdialog method to return the value.Trouble is, a value of zero is returned as soon as the form is shown.Now, if I can make it behave more like the showDialog method where execution doesn't continue until the form is hidden everything would be fine.
I would like to return the data in a database query as an array, but the problem is, Im having trouble working out how to do it, here is how I would like the data to be returned:
I could create a multi dimentional array, but the results could range from 2 rows, to 2000 rows, I looked into redim, but you can only redim the last dimention, I would need to the first and second, but not the last.
Every 5 to 10 seconds I receive 5-12 bytes of data (confirmed w/Hyperterminal). I can open the com port(btn1), read bytes(btn3) until bytes to read = 0, but then i'm stuck; the data received event doesn't seem to respond. If I close the serial port(btn2), re-open i can read more data until bytes to read = 0 then stuck again. I tried several suggestions for threads and delegate and invoke but none worked. (WIndows XP, VB 2008)
I am trying to debug my code, which involves a simple webservice that passes parameters to a data class, which calls a stored proc, and returns one row of record. I am not getting any error messages, but I am not getting any records back either.[code]
I'm having an interesting issue that I can't reproduce on a different project, but can consistently on this one. I have no clue what might be causing it, but am hoping that someone may have seen it before.
I have a main form, from which I run a series of checks. On this form, I have a listview control. Because of some issues with the refreshing of this listview control, I had to create my own messagebox. It's just a form that displays some text ( it also happens to look nicer than MsgBox; in my opinion, anyways ). It's been working great for months, until recently.
My problem is that on my main form's load event, I run this check, which returns an error within a try/catch block. I then call my custom messagebox with a message. It in turns calls it's ShowDialog() function.
In any other situation ( after the main form has been loaded ), I have no problems. The messagebox goes on the screen and behaves appropriately ( ie: waits for my input and acts as a modal dialog ( stops execution of my main form's thread ) ). However, on this onload event, my messagebox comes up and goes away almost immediately afterwards.
I've traced it all the way to the showdialog() call. For no explicable reason, it appears to skip right over this call, without me doing anything on the form.
Here's what the inner trace looks like ( when I put a breakpoint on the onclosing event for this messagebox form ):
I am trying some Uiculture change functionality.In that I need the name and text of controls in a form to change the culture.I got some Demo project and it is in C#. I tried to make the same functionality with the C#.net and Also using VB.net. But the below mentioned code returns control name with an underscore as prefix. But I don`t want underscore .Code is actually written in Class library.
code is written below Dim fields As FieldInfo() = form.[GetType]().GetFields(BindingFlags.Instance Or BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly Or BindingFlags.NonPublic)
I am developing an application that based on when a user has last entered a payroll, my program tells them the next available Sunday that is available to them based on
1. The date that the last time payroll was entered
2. If payroll ran = "yes" or "no"
I have a sql query that returns the next Sunday back to me based on this criteria, but when I put it into my application, it returns 1/1/0001 to me.
Here is the query: select MAX(payrolldate) AS [payrolldate], dateadd(dd, ((datediff(dd, '17530107', MAX(payrolldate))/7)*7)+7, '17530107') AS [Sunday] from payroll
I have a table with several rows of data that I need to return to the controller. In my view, I initially load the table by selection of a time period and clicking a button. The table loads all my relevant records but one of my table cells contains a dropdown list. So I should be able make a selection in the dropdown click "update" and my controller saves the changes.
So everything works until I try and save. The model that is sent to the controller is completely null. The list property I have tied to the table cells returns to the controller null.

NOTE: This is written in VB.NET but C# help is welcome. I am familiar with both languages in MVC.
I have a view on some data in my database it returns the data as I would expect, for example
Call Date To From Phone Number 20/1/2010 00:00 23:59 08923233223 20/1/2010 00:00 23:59 08923233245
However when I have added this to my Entity Model and query it I get duplicate(and unexpected) data appearing
Call Date To From Phone Number 20/1/2010 00:00 23:59 08923233223 20/1/2010 00:00 23:59 08923233223
I am simply binding a Entity Data Source to this Entity but I am left scratching my head as to why the data is being returned differently
EDIT: Interestingly this can't be the result of some strange under the hood join as the row counts match as expected. I have also put together a query myself to test with the same odd results.From o In App.Entities.v_PersonalRules Where o.companyid = CompanyID Select o. I am using Visual Studio 2010, .NET 4
I have a Business Logic Layer that contains function that return datatables. I'm writing a function that will return just the records that begin with the string passed in. this is what I've come up with so far:
Public Function FetchBusinessAreas(ByVal area As String) As List(Of BusinessArea) Dim AreasList As New List(Of BusinessArea) Dim dt As DataTable
