I want to pass a List of T where T is an object I've created that has about ten properties (strings, dates and integers).The lst passes to the function successfully. I am also passing an New T of the Object (itm as T).I can see all the values (see image below), but because it's generic I cannot seem to retrieve the property values and I cannot figure out how to iterate through the properties of each itm as they are retrieved in the For Each.[code]
I am trying to create a list of a generic type in vb.net 2.0 framework. This is the generic type definition:
Public Class GenericParamMap(Of T) Public Sub New(ByVal pParamName As String, ByVal pPropValue As T) mParamName = pParamName
[Code]....
The compiler does not allow a "T" in the method's parameter because it's not defined, but I'm not sure how or where to define it. I thought it was okay to have a generic method definition.
I'm trying to code a class of RandomNumber. One of the class methods needs to populate a "List (Of RandomNumber)" ... which was passed as a parameter to the method ... with 10 random numbers between 1 and 50. DEAD SIMPLE :)
(Not really sure if I phrased the question correctly...) I want to create a lambda expression that would take an Object, attempt to convert it to a passed-in Type, and print to the console whether it was successful or not. At a glance, the lambda expression may seem a pretty silly way to accomplish this task, but I'd really like to know what I'm doing wrong, so I can better grow my skill set.
VS gives me a designer error about the second "T" in the expression below, telling me it isn't defined) This is where I left off:
Public Class notifierMain Public Class Contacts Inherits List(Of row) Public Sub New()
[code]....
When I debug this winforms application I get curType = "notifier.notifierMain+Contacts+row" I want to the Validate function to know it is in MyContacts. How do I do this?
I'm having trouble creating a sub that can create objects of a variable type on the fly. Here's an example of what I'm trying to achieve:
[Code]...
I can't get it to work. I've done a fair bit of research, and looked at generic types, reflection, and other tools, but I'm having trouble determining how best to tackle this problem.
I have a method which requires a parameter to be passed in. I would like to use the Addhandler to call the method through a dynamically created button control's click event.
When I include () in the AddressOf, VS complains: 'AddressOf' operand must be the name of a method (without parentheses).
When I exclude the brackets, VS complains: Method '...' does not have a signature compatible with delegate...
I want to create a generic list - but I want to specify the type at runtime - is there a way I can do this? using reflection perhaps?Something like this...
Public Shared Sub create(ByVal t As Type) Dim myList As New Generic.List(Of t) End Sub
I'm trying to use a generic list without knowing the type when loading the page. I have a typePropertyCollection which inherits from List(Of PropertyData). The usercontrol that uses this collection doesn't know what type of data is used (which objects). So when the page is loaded, I pass along the type to the usercontrol using a dependencyproperty. This type ends up in this method:
Private Shared Sub OnObjectTypeChanged(ByVal obj As DependencyObject, ByVal args As DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs) Dim objectType As Type = TryCast(args.NewValue, Type)
I would like to write a generic function that would search a List(Of T) for all elements of type TFilter and return a List(Of TFilter) which comprises those elements.
I've tried this: Public Function FilterList(Of T, TFilter)(ByVal ListToFilter As List(Of T)) As List(Of TFilter) Return ListToFilter.FindAll(Function(z) z.GetType.Equals(GetType(TFilter))).ConvertAll(New Converter(Of T, TFilter)(Function(z) CType(z, TFilter))) End Function
But, it gives the following error: Value of type 'T' cannot be converted to 'TFilter'.
Dim x = GetType(List(Of )) 'valid statement Dim list As New List(Of String)
Now I want to see if list is a List(Of T) variable: Dim isList = TypeOf list Is List(Of ) On the last line I get a compile error: "Type Expected". Is there any cheap-performance TypeOf operator alternative for generics?
I have converted c# .cs to vb:= I have 6 errors on:
Red "List" says Too few type arguments to system.Collections.Generic.List(Of T)' Orange "Calendar" says Value of type 'System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlCollection' cannot be converted to 'Form1.Kobush.Windows.Forms.Appointment'.
I need to be able to tell if a property is of type List(of T)but am currently unable to. if i do
TypeOf (UpdateTo.GetType.GetProperty(node.Name)) Is System.Collections.Generic.List(Of Object)
I get the following error
TypeOf (UpdateTo.GetType.GetProperty(node.Name)) Is System.Collections.Generic.List(Of Object) Expression of type 'System.Reflection.PropertyInfo' can never be of type[code]......
I am able to only add controls that are of type TextBox. My question to you is, can I create a List to hold more than one control type or do I have to create a list for each control type?
I'm trying to create a function to parse out all values in a multidimensional Array with all but one dimension given. The details are not relevant, but for this function I need to return an one-dimensional Array containing values of the same type the original multidimensional Array has.To pass any Array with any dimension to my function, I declared the type of this parameter as Array. However, how would I create a new Array of that specific type (e.g. Integer)?Currently I have the following code:
Function GetRow(ByVal arr As Array) As Array Dim result As (...) 'This should be Integer() if arr contains Integers, etc. Return result
I need to create a function which have either 1 parameter with a string as data type or 2 parameters with double as data type.Something like the substring method.
I have a TreeView, which contains nodes. When a user clicks on a node, corresponding CrystalReport document should be created and displayed.For example, names of my nodes are: "PeriodReport1", "PeriodReport2", "PeriodReport3". My CrystalReport documents are named same: "PeriodReport1", "PeriodReport2", "PeriodReport3".How can I create and display right type of crystal reports document? I could do something like this:
I need to pass in parameters to my sub/function. When the parameter is passed, the value in the string, I would like to get the value evaluated and sent as:
Dim strParams As String = drRow(0) ' drRow is a row from DB Table. the value in drRow(0) = ' "@FromDate=""" & Now.AddDays(-10).ToShortDateString & """&@ToDate=""" &
The parameter to a sub is being passed a value like 501/500, of coarse this value should be converted to 1.002. Unfortunately, the actual value being passed to the parameter is 1.0.
Public MustInherit Class Column Public ReadOnly Property ReturnSomethingUseful() As Object Get 'return something useful
[code]....
But this gives the following error:
Public Overrides Function ParseValue(sValue As String) As Boolean' cannot override 'Public Overridable Function ParseValue(sValue As String) As Object' because they differ by their return types.
I accept that you can't do this, but I'd like to be able to preserve the semantics of what I'm. trying to do, which is to have an untyped version that deals with Object, but a typed version in derived classes that knows about the specific type T.
How can I get the name of the object that was passed byref into a method?
Example:
Dim myobject as object sub mymethod(byref o as object) debug.print(o.[RealName!!!!]) end sub
[code]....
I'm using this for logging. I use one method multiple times and it would be nice to log the name of the variable that I passed to it. Since I'm passing it byref, I should be able to get this name, right?This would give you the parameter name in the method and it's type, but not the name of the variable that was passed byref.
using system.reflection Dim mb As MethodBase = MethodInfo.GetCurrentMethod() For Each pi As ParameterInfo In mb.GetParameters()
[code]....
If you put that in "mymethod" above you'd get "o" and "Object".
