How To Create A Connection Between A Control And A Property In A Class
Sep 20, 2010Is there a (simple) way to connect a textbox, label etc. to a property in a class?I have a project with a complex series of dialogs to enter data into a list of a costum class describing an experiment with many parameters that are stored as properties (both simple variables such as strings and integers, but also more complex ones).I need both to be able to update the list of my experiment class, but also to go the other way to populate the dialogs from the class.It can of course be done outside the class and the dialogs in separate subroutines. This however, quicly becomes unmanagable and hard to maintain as the dialogs and experiment class is expanded with new elements.If there was a simple way to connect say a textbox or label in a dialog with the appropriate property holding the information it would make it much easier.
View 5 RepliesCreate An UnInterface Making Sure That The Class Does Not Have A Method / Property
Dec 17, 2009Interface makes sure a class does have a Method / Property, However is there a way to create an unInterface, making sure that the class does not have a method / property or is there a way to implement something that will unimplement every other implements except for itself?
what i want to do: i've got a class that serves as a storage for information only, so i decided to give it a blank interface IBank, the other classes that share this feature will implement this interface. they should not implement any other interface the use is that when i seek out the interface of a class and realise that its IBank i know that its just a class for info storage.
Create A User Control With A List Of Custom Class Type Property

.net - Make A Class Property Behave Like The Checked Property On RadioButton?
Jun 1, 2012I have a very simple class that holds a few public properties - ID, Text, Colour, etc. and a Boolean called 'SelectedItem'. Just like the Checked property on RadioButtons, only one item can have its SelectedItem property set to True within a particular group. Note: there will be several separate groups (lists), each allowed to have only one item with SelectedItem = True.
My first thought was that I would probably just have to handle everything outside of the class, setting SelectedItem to False for every other item in a particular list when another item was selected. But that seems rather inelegant to me. So I've been trying to think of how this might be done within the class. For example: could I perhaps have a private string property called say "GroupName" - set in the New sub when adding a new instance of the class - and then use a private shared method to set every item's SelectedItem property to False, provided the item has the same GroupName as the newly selected item? I would have a go at doing this but I have no idea how to enumerate every instance of a class from within that class, or whether that's even possible. Is it? Or is there another (better) way to achieve my goal? Here is a cut-down version of what I've got so far:
Public Class ResourceItem
Public ID As Integer
Public Text As String[code]....
As can be seen: instead of instantiating a new ResourceItem and passing that as an argument to the manager's Add procedure, I'm simply passing the details of the new item and the procedure is creating the item from those. I don't know whether this is a good or bad idea - please advise - but I've done it because I couldn't figure out how to make the SelectedItem property only writeable by the manager, so I wanted to avoid having directly accessible objects that could have their SelectedItem property set to True without it deselecting all the other items in the same group. Of course that still leaves the possibility of setting a variable to one of the manager's list items and setting it from there, so I would still like to know how I could prevent that, if possible.
UPDATE: I didn't use the code above in the end, deciding instead to go with Cyborgx37's solution - which seems to work perfectly well for me despite the warnings about best practice. I also realised I would need to use the same class in another scenario where multiple items could be selected, so it was easy to add a Boolean property to the manager to enable that.
Having A Class Property Dependent On Another Property Opinion?
Aug 13, 2009I have the following code:
Public Class MyColorsClass
'Constructors
Public Sub New()
'Empty Constructor
[code]....
However, if the empty constructor was called to instatiate this class then the colortype is not yet set. Therefore, if one accesses the 'IsColorCool' property it will always return 'False'. Now for the sake of this example, I must keep the empty constructor as part of the class.Now I could add some code in the 'IsPropertyCool' to check and see if a ColorType has been defined, and throw an exception if it has not been set, but I don't really want to do that.I also could always move the logic OUT of the property and into a method on the class called 'DefineIfColorIsCool' or something, and make the owness on the caller to make sure the method was called if they want to use the property 'IsColorCool'?

"upgrade" An Object To An Inherited Class, And Keep All The Base Class's Property Values?
Jul 5, 2010bare with me during this silly example. :-) Let's say I have a class like this:

And another class that inherits the "Animal" class and adds one more property:
Public Class ScaryAnimal
Inherits Animal
Public iScariness as int32 ' 0-100, how scary is it?

Now, if I have an instance of "Animal" with some values in it, and I decide I want to cast it to a ScaryAnimal for some reason, how do I do that without having to create a new instance of "ScaryAnimal" and copy each property value?Basically I'm looking for a way to do this, without having to write the lines marked with '*** below:

Class Property Specifying An Object?
Mar 9, 2012I'm currently writing a HMI for an automated machine in VB.Net 2010. I have a custom class that turns a Border green or red depending on the value of an input on a remote I/O module.
The connection to the remote I/O module is through a COM object provided by the manufacturer. I have three remote connections, lets' call them g1, g2, and g3. They're of type Manufacturer.ConnectionObject.
I would like to specify, using a property that I can set in XAML, that instances of MyCustomBorder use g1, g2, or g3. Unfortunately, setting up a Property called g and typing 'g1' into the property field results in the message "Property value is not valid. Details: Property 'g' does not support String to Value conversion."
[code...]
I need to implement a converter between String and the custom class, Manufacturer.ConnectionObject, but I have no idea how to accomplish this, especially since Manufacturer.ConnectionObject is part of a closed-to-me COM object.
Have Generics In A Class Property?

Public Sub Foo(T As Entity(Of T))(TheEntity As T)
I can't seem to get that to work for a property:
Public Property E(Of Entity(Of T))() As Entity(Of T)
Gives me "Type parameters cannot be specified on this declaration"
Public Property E() As Entity2008(Of T)
Gives me "Type Parameter T does not inherit from or implement the constraint type ..."Is there an acceptable way to do this or am I stuck with using a Set Sub and a Get Function?
