I trying create Application for the BMP Constructor, I already write the code in C# but I can't translate it into VB.NET, because its require pointer, and as far as i know, there are no pointer function in vb.net @@ so how I can translate this:
FileStream fs = new FileStream(OJSPathBox.Text, FileMode.Open);
BinaryReader rdr = new BinaryReader(fs);
int width = 555; // its just for example
int height = 555; //its just for example
[code]....
ptr declaration is using Pointer and I throught, there are no unsafe in vb.net, how I can translate to vb.net language?
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.
How can I create a generic constructor? (ie. BaseClass.FromXml(<param>). I'm not sure how to describe this but I'm trying to create a base class that contains a shared (factory) function called FromXml. I want this function to instantiate an object of the proper type and then fill it via an XmlDocument.
For example, let's say I have something like this: [Code]
I'd like to be able to do something like this:
Dim myObject As CustomObject = CustomObject.FromXml(source)
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 have a class inside a class.I need to expose the properties of the 2nd class to other classes, therefore it is public.However, I do not wish other classes to be able to create instances of this 2nd class, it should only be instantitated from its parent class.I thought I could resolve this issue by making the constructor of the 2nd class private, but this even prevents the parent class from instantiating its child class! How can I work around this, do I have to make the constructor public and allow anybody to create an instance of the class?
I was asked to build a winform exe that receives arguments from a web service and decide in which mode the application should start.what is the best way to design and build the application?The application needs to receive 3 arguments.
User name. - stringApplication mode - Boolean (user read write privileges)List on string. Where do I receive this arguments in the new method ?
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?
Under component services, a COM+ component is used by the company, right-clicking it and choosing 'Activation' tab will show the 'constructor string' that is used for DB server connection by all applications. How can I access it the simplest way possible?
I was trying to call a method using Reflection on a method that has a STRING parameter.However a STRING does not have a parameterless constructor.So instead of something like.>>

Hello I want to create a windows form application program that can create games something like Gamemaker or Klik & Play (butt less advanced) with D&D "Drag and Drop" events and actions.
I understand this is possible but I am not sure where to start. I want to either buy or create an application that captures a resource from another application so that I can fire off another application. In other words, I want to start an application (which I did not write) that is database driven so the form has a number of text boxes. When someone keys something into that field I want to be able to validate the value, outside of the original application. For instance, if the program asks for a zipcode and it doesn't validate the zipcode, I'd like to trap for that and write something that would validate it. At this point I don't think I'd have to send anything back to the textbox/resource.
I am unsure about how to go at this, what I want is to create an application that can connect to others using that application. Things such as if I change something on the forum it will be changed on someone else who is looking at the forum, granted it would be a specific person who i am connecting with,
A project has a class (CAR Class) with the folloiwng details and the CARADMIN cLASS with the following details: The cardAdmin class has 2 constructor Public Sub New() & Public Sub New(ByVal rec As Rectangle) I dont know how to code the latter constructor..
cAR Class has this method/properties:
Public Class Car Inherits HVSprite Private fSoundFile As String

I am rewriting a C# class in VB. The C# class has a static constructor in it:
static Class() { ... }
which, through the Call Stack, I found is called by the main window's InitializeComponent() method.Everywhere I've looked has told me that the corresponding static constructor in VB is just:Shared Sub New()
but this method is never invoked. Am I creating my VB static constructor right? Is it likely something else that has nothing to do with my static constructor?
A former co-worker wrote a class in C# that was to be used as an attribute. I'm having to convert his work to VB (yeah, it's pointless and way more work than necessary, but management thinks it's a good idea). Unfortunately I'm having an issue because one of the main properties of the class is an ArrayList which is set with a ParamArray in the constructor. The class looks like this (note I've tried to abstract out the problem, so this is a simplified version of the class only)
<AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Field Or AttributeTargets.[Property])> _ Public Class LabelAttribute Inherits Attribute Public Sub New()
[CODE]........
In the first one, there is just the single label being added. No Problem. In the second one there are 2 different labels being added. Again, no problem. The third one, however, is a problem because it's assuming that the "Description", which is supposed to be the description is instead being interpreted as another label.
This wasn't a problem in C# because it could be set as follows:
[CODE].................
Of course this doesn't work in VB because optional parameters aren't referred to by name as they are in C#. As a stopgap I've changed the constructor to allow only a single label like this
CODE]..................
But that undermines some of what this class is meant to do. Does anyone know how, or even if I can get the same basic functionality to work in VB?
Think there must be a way to make the existing design work. Imagine this class was built into a library that I could not modify. Would I be forever forbidden from setting Description because of this design?
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 know that you cannot specify a constructor in an interface in .Net, but why can we not?
It would be really useful for my current project to be able to specify that an 'engine' must be passed in with the constructor, but as I cant, I have to suffice with an XML comment on the class.
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.
One would think I'd already know this, but I never really gave it much thought before now. When declaring a member variable for a class, is it better to set the default value at the declaration
Private m_strMyVariable As String = "" Or is it better to do it in the constructor Private m_strMyVariable As String
[Code]....
Should I maybe always specify a value at declaration, even if it's Nothing, and just override that value in the constructor(s) as needed? Or is it situation specific? If so, a really quick rundown of which situations might warrant which treatment would be nice.
