When building a class library which contains many classes, all classes uses a lot of common constants and functions, what is the best to do:
1- Declare these constants and functions as public in a module.
2- In each class declare constants and functions used by individual class as private.
The first choice is good for easy and fast implementation, but re-using a class in a different project will require importing the module to the other project.The second choice require a lot of copy/paste for code snippet but a class can be re-used in different project easily.
I am developing an application which initially allows the user to browse and select a save location. The selected path is assigned to a public variable which is used with concatenation to crate folder for saving user input data. How can I change the path string to a constant so the user can run the program again without having to run setup routine unless they want to change the save location?
I have a form intended to generate serial number and this serial number will be distributed to the other forms. I use to pass the serial number to the other forms this way:
I have a form intended to generate serial number and this serial number will be distributed to the other forms. I use to pass the serial number to the other forms this way:
if frm1.visible = true then frm1.txtserial.text = frmserial.txtgenserial.text if frm2.visible = true then frm2.txtserial.text = frmserial.txtgenserial.text if frm3.visible = true then frm3.txtserial.text = frmserial.txtgenserial.text
and so on....I want to have a method that will ease the method above. Is there a way to declare a txtgenserial textbox globally and the other forms will just refer to it?ex. Public genserial(tb as textbox)' that example is only a demo to what I wanted to get, this declaration is absolutely incorrect.
I have a VB .net application which works fine on a 32 bit systems. We tried using it on a 64bit Windows 7 system but it failed. So I set up an environment in a VM (windows 7 64bit VS 2005 SP1 all updated) and started debugging there. The problem I come across is, I have a module (Public variables and function declarations from a driver provider FTDI). When a function from module is called the result is saved in a variable also from module. But the problem is the variable is not declared.
I have strMyColor = "Red".I would like to make lblMyLabel.BackColor to be red.Without using a variable the code would be this:
lblMyLabel.BackColor=Color.Red
I tried using the variable like this: lblMyLabel.backcolor="Color." & strMyColor
But the error is that a string can't be converted to System.Draw.Color. I understand that, as the string "Color.Red" is not the same as the VB constant Color.Red.Is there a way I can construct a valid vbConstant from a string?
The simple code we have written compiles and executes fine in my class and work computers - both xp. when I try to compile the exact same code on my home windows 7 computer, I get error messages:
c:vbpayroll2.vb(17) : error BC30451: 'InputBox' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.
and
c:vbpayroll2.vb(20) : error BC30451: 'Convert' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.
I have a code in VB 6 but doesn't in VB.NET. Even I was converting, but, there's a thing that I can't convert because I don't know what "hProcess" means .
I'm making a call to my DLL file (prototyping 30+ functions), and want to be able to switch between different versions of the DLL quickly while in development. Thus, i want to replace the literal string constant that follows the "Lib" key word, with a variable string constant. In case there's any confusion in my use of the jargon. I am currently able to do this:
I have the following line of code Dim a As String = "" And the Refactor suggests replacing the "" with String.Empty It is a kind of Refactoring but why? Since I am a newbie in the future declarations of mine should I better use the String.Empty ?
suppose I have variables named A1, A2, A3 ... B1, B2, B3 ... Z97, Z98, Z99. I have a certain operation I want to do using each one in turn. I CAN write a line of code for every single variable, but this will get pretty tedious. I'd prefer it if I can make a function that takes the letter and the number as arguments. So, if it gets the arguments "E" and "10" it will perform the operation on variable E10. What is the syntax for this? say a simple operation such as: result = E10 * 3 Is the syntax any different if I use constants instead of variables?
I am working in .Net 2010 framework 2.0 I want to place the constant string for a color property in form designer like GradientBeginColor = MyColor in form designer.
When developing ASP.NET websites (using VB.NET web forms) - a lot of my time is spend writing CSS files and they always seem to get messy (code duplication) and very long.
All I want to achieve is to be able to manipulate the CSS using VB.NET code in the following ways:
Use an integer variable to store my "golden" number 7 and use that for width, padding, margin etc where needed Use string variables to store my "golden" hex color codes e.g. "#44C5F2" and use them for color, background-color, border-color etc. where needed Use an integer variable to set the height of an element and have four child elements each with height: mynum / 4
I just want to use basic VB.net number and string manipulation in order to create a CSS file on the fly.
I understand that the end product - the CSS file shouldn't change much - it should at most change on a daily basis otherwise caching couldn't be used.[code]...
I noticed that if I leave off the terminating double quote for a string constant in Visual Studio 2010, there is no error or even a warning, i.e.
Dim foo as String = "hi
However, the continuous integration tool we are using flags an error:
error BC30648: String constants must end with a double quote.
Is there some language rule in VB.Net that makes a terminating double quote optional "sometimes"? Is there some setting in Visual Studio that will make it flag this as an error, so I can avoid "breaking the build" in this way?
I have a multi-lined string message that needs to be added to the Resources.resx file of the project. Currently I'm achieving this some thing like this MessageBox(My.Resources.MyMsg1 & vbNewLine & My.Resources.MyMsg2 ). This works.However I'd like to have the entire message in one resource string rather than adding two resources strings to the Resources.resx file.I've tried using' but no luck..message displays as "My message.Rest of the message".I've also tried manually adding a new line in the Resources.resx file. ( by doing "My message.<Shift+Enter>Rest of the message" But message is adding an additional space before the message in the second line.
I am trying to convert a public adaptation of the Whirlpool hash from Java to VB.NET, I am getting errors that do not make sense to me and thusly I don't know how to fix them.
The information I need out of this code is OutputStringB. When I put a break point in the loop and read OutputStringB before the loop is over I can get the information I want out of it. The problem is I need to use the OutputStringB value outside of the loop.After the loop ends it is clearing out OutputStringB and making it Nothing for some reason.
I am not the one who developed this tool, it's the previous programmer and they gave the project to me to update it however, when I try to run the application in my local computer I am getting this error: Argument not specified for parameter 'XLSFile' of 'Public Sub New(XMLFile As String, XLSFile As String)'.
The error points to the code below in bold letter:
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Zym.ConnectionString = Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("cnworkload").ConnectionString 'Dim cn As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(Zym.ConnectionString) 'Dim DA As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM SUMMARY_WORKLOAD", cn)
Public Class Beryllium Public Const AtomicNumber As Byte = 4 Public Const Symbol As String = "Be"
[Code]....
I want to make a list out of all the constants (AtomicNumber, Symbol, Name and AtomicMass). I want to make the list also a constant. When I run the code above, I get an error highlighting AtomicNumber (on line on which I commented on "This line"). I tried .ToString() and CStr() but I get errors on both. Maybe there is a different way to make these constants one string or list (must be public and have new lines)?
i'm having problems creating a public string varialble in a class or module. i am going to be refering to it in many forms so this way i only will have to change the text of the string once and not on each form.Currently when i try to use the new string variable as an object variable from another form, it isnt showing up as an object i can reference. [code]
Say I have an ASP solution with a Globals.vb file. Inside that file, I have this: Public Shared MyVariable As String Now say I publish this solution and make it available to Bob and Cindy.If Cindy sets (through the interface) MyVariable to 5, would Bob be able to read it? I hope not, I'm hoping this variable would be user-specific.
I have public variables in a module. I need to get the reference of the variable by using the String name of variable in another formell me how to do this?I need something like the following code:
Dim Var1 As string Dim sVariableName As String = "Var1" GetReference(sVariableName).SetValue = "testing"
