Create An Array Of References To Doubles?

Jun 23, 2011

I have a bunch of type Double variables in my program, say for example

Dim Area as Double = 0
Dim Perimeter as Double = 0

Somewhere in my program I want to calculate these values, so I define

Public Sub TheSquare(ByRef TheArea as Double, ByRef ThePerim as Double, ByVal TheSide as Double)
TheArea = TheSide^2
ThePerim = 4 * TheSide
End Sub

and somewhere in the program I'm collecting side lengths and calculating the area and perimeter; say

While True
S = GetSideValueFromSomewhere()
TheSquare(Area, Perimeter, S)
End

In my real program, I have, say, 20 quantities that I want to calculate. Obviously each one has a different equation. But in the end I want to output all 20 to a file, so to save typing, I create an array of the quantities, like this:

Dim TypingSaver() as Double = {Area, Perimeter}

so that I can dump values to file with a three-line for-loop instead of copying and pasting 20 variable names.

This does exactly what I want if Area and Perimeter were reference types like Objects. But since they are Doubles, TypingSaver contains only their values, not references to the actual variables. So after I use my TheSquare function the values of Area and Perimeter are correctly updated but TypingSaver just constains whatever the values of Area and Perimeter were when I declared the array.

how can I create an array of references to doubles in VB.NET?

Define A Property In Class Which Is An Array (of Doubles)?

Feb 6, 2012

I need to define a property in my class which is an array (of doubles).My original (bad) version is this:

Public Class Market
Property Correlations0 As Double
Property Correlations1 As Double
Property Correlations2 As Double

[code].....

This however doesn't work. I get an error already at design time: "Public Property Correlations as Double has no parameters and its return type cannot be indexed."What should I do with it? I also do not know in advance how large the array should be (the array size is determined at runtime based on other properties).

Create XSD And XML Document From Dataset - References Xsd Import Xml To Excel

Mar 16, 2012

I have read and googled a ton of xml documentation but haven't quite gotten an answer to what Im trying to do. I am trying to create an XSD document that generates explicit type definitions for fields in the dataset. I am then trying to create a sample XML document that validates against the XSD document.

This works fine inside of visual studio because I can read in the schema and the document and it validates BUT, the xml document created has no real reference to the XSD via xlmns or other method. If I want to use this xml data in say MS Excel and I try to import it doesn't know where the XSD is to validate against so it assumes it based on the values. Is there a way in my code to add the xlmns to both the XSD and XML if that is what is needed to solve this? [Code]

VS 2008 Add Buttons To Panel, Button/tab References Create/destroy Entire Tabs/layouts?

Feb 18, 2010

I need to know how to have a button on a tab to create another button on a second tab that contains a panel, with appropriate spacing, the same size as other buttons already present, and the name of the tab that generated this new button as the text on the newly created button. I.e. button1 on tab1 will create and place a new button on a panel in tab2 that already has a grid of buttons (maybe 3x10 buttons) which will be placed underneath a particular column with the text tab2 on the new button which can also refer back to that tab automatically. Hopefully we can get all this code under a single button event.

I also don't know how to have a button on tab1 that focuses on tab2, which sets the back button on tab2 with a reference to go back to tab1 in order to remain dynamic. I.e. clicking on tab1's button will go to tab2 and set the back button there with a link back to the tab it was referred from.

I'd also like to know if there's an easy way to create and destroy tabs with a specific layout. I.e. We have home tab, and comment tab. (This is for the sake of argument) On the comment tab1 (which contains all posted comments), we have a new comment button which creates a comment tab2 (or a dialog box for that matter) with appropriate textboxes, labels, and buttons in the right places which could also make use of the issues I posted above. So the new comment button on the comment tab1 will create either a new comment tab2 with appropriate objects, or a dialog box with the same, and then the submit button on this comment tab2 or box will create a new textfield/buttons on the panel containing the grid of buttons with the information provided in the fields from comment tab2/dialog box which is then destroyed.

I hope i haven't made the examples too confusing, but I can't figure out how to even make progress in these directions. Trying either fails completely, or semi-fails in getting these examples to function 100%.

I've already tried posting in other forums, but with no replies. Hopefully you all can help me figure this out.EDIT: This is not homework, I have scoured forums and google trying to find the answer to these problems. I'm hoping that because these are mainly VB based forums I can find some answers here.

Asp.net - Checking The Equality Of Two Doubles In .NET?

Aug 5, 2010

I've got a heavily used web application that, for the first time in 2 years, failed doing an equality check on two doubles using the equality function a colleague said he'd also been using for years. The goal of the function I'm about to paste in here is to compare two double values to 4 digits of precision and return the comparison results. For the sake of illustration, my values are:

Dim double1 As Double = 0.14625000000000002 ' The result of a calculation
Dim double2 As Double = 0.14625 ' A value that was looked up in a DB

If I pass them into this function:

Public Shared Function AreEqual(ByVal double1 As Double, ByVal double2 As Double) As Boolean
Return (CType(double1 * 10000, Long) = CType(double2 * 10000, Long))
End Function

the comparison fails. After the multiplication and cast to Long, the comparison ends up being:

Return 1463 = 1462

I'm kind of answering my own question here, but I can see that double1 is within the precision of a double (17 digits) and the cast is working correctly. My first real question is: If I change the line above to the following, why does it work correctly (returns True)?

Return (CType(CType(double1, Decimal) * 10000, Long) = _
CType(CType(double2, Decimal) * 10000, Long))

Doesn't Decimal have even more precision, thus the cast to Long should still be 1463, and the comparison return False? I think I'm having a brain fart on this stuff...Secondly, if one were to change this function to make the comparison I'm looking for more accurate or less error prone, would you recommend changing it to something much simpler? For example:

Return (Math.Abs(double1 - double2) < 0.0001)

Would I be to try something like:

Return (double1.ToString("N5").Equals(double2.ToString("N5")))

Create A Fake Array Using Generics Instead Of Using An Array

Jun 23, 2012

This was an experiment to see if I could create a fake array using generics instead of using an array. I decided to try it, because I may use it if I find any advantages to using it over an array. it works, I am just asking for a second or third opinion, have I screwed anything up, or is there an easier way to accomplish this? If I use it, it will be for a 2D game I am creating, and is used to draw the 2D screen graphics, placing an image based on what image identifier is located at what coordinates. The value stored in the fake array is an integer that disignates the graphic to draw and whether it is passible or not, i.e. 0 = a floor image, 501 = a wall image that is impassible (any image number > 500 is impassable) The Class definition:

C# - Unit Test Fail When Comparing Two Doubles?

Mar 30, 2011

I have the following code in vb.net that calculates the amount before tax was applied:

Public Shared Function CalculateRateBeforeTax(ByVal rate As Decimal, ByVal tax As Decimal) As Decimal
Dim base As Decimal = rate / (1 + (tax / 100.0))
Return Math.Round(base,2)[code]....

I put the above scenarios into some unit tests using c# and using the nunit testing framework. The first scenario passes, but the other fails and I am not sure how I can get it to pass. Here is are my tests:

[TestFixture]
class TaxTests

As I said before, the first test passes, but the results of the other tests are:

Second Test expected 305.1600000000000003d But was: 305.1643192488263d

C# - Why Is There No Overload Of Interlocked.Add That Accepts Doubles As Parameters

Sep 9, 2009

the Threading.Interlocked class provides; I don't understand, though, why the Add function only offers two overloads: one for Integers, another for Longs. Why not Doubles, or any other numeric type for that matter?Clearly, the intended method for changing a Double is CompareExchange; I am GUESSING this is because modifying a Double is a more complex operation than modifying an Integer.

Filter Datagrid With Combobox And Prevent Doubles

Mar 15, 2012

I'm trying to create a Select Distinct query, but i'm getting stuck with either an empty combobox either a filled combobox that displays all the doubles.or a message "System. Data. DataViewManagerListItemTypeDescriptor".I have a form (form5) with 1 combobox and 1 datagrid. The datagrid loads 5 collumns "ID", "firm", "Fname", "mname", "Lname".[code]I would like to select the firm from a combobox and filter the datagrid so that it only displays the selected firm and the people that are registred here. Furthermore i want the combobox that i use for selecting the firms to lose the doubles.I can load the datagrid and load the Combobox, but selecting is only pointing to the record (highlights in the grid) i chooses but doesn't filter.[code]I use the "Me.EmployeesTableAdapter.Fill" method so mu question is, is it possible that i don't need to use the OLEDB connection or do i still need this to correctly connect to the DB (access)? I changed the script that i brewed together as displayed above, but this did not do the trick.

Fractional Part Of Doubles Without Using String Manipulation?

Jun 24, 2011

Is there a way to get the fraction parts of a Double without using string manipulations? Specifically in vb.net?

There are numerous examples for a decimal in various languages. One for vb.net is this one

Basically they all seem to use either a mod or Truncate method or they take advantage of casting to integer behavior. But none of those approaches will work for a double/float type due to the inherent inaccuracy of the double/float type. There is also the problem that doubles don't cast to decimals reliably. Below is a test case to show what I mean and expect.

Public Class BasicNumberTests
Function DecimalFractionalPart(ByVal number As Decimal) As Decimal

Vb6 Double Versus .net Doubles In Binary Files?

Oct 1, 2011

I wrote some software in Vb6 a long while ago and this program creates a datafile. This datafile stores variables like doubles, ints, arrays etc, using the Get/Put methods from VB6. This all worked great for vb6.I am now starting to rewrite this tool in .net and find that the binaryreader as well as the other fileopen methods do not convert the doubles correctly. So as I rewrite the software I still want to read the old datafiles just like before.if I use a byte array and read 8 bytes, the bytes read are identical in Vb6 and vb.net. We are talking about reading an existing old binary file created by vb6.

for example the number 3, stored as a double has a 8 byte array that looks like this:

[0][0][0][0][0][0][0][5] in vb6.

in vb.net if you use the bitconverter.getbytes(cdbl(3)) you get

[0][0][0][0][0][0][8]64]

in vb6 the first array is converted to the # 3 correctly.in vb.net the array is converted to something way way off.

Write Values, Mostly Doubles Into A Text File?

Sep 3, 2009

I need to write values, mostly doubles into a text file in VB.NET. I ported the code from VB6, but the performance of the VB6 write#fileID, vars) in VB.NET, is very bad, it introduces a delay of about one hour. I have tried out the streamwrite, and its performance is good; it's actually faster than VB6 write.

I am using the write(string) method for the streamwriter, and I am concatenating the values using variable names as follows: streamwriter.write(var1 &","& var2 &","&....&","& var n &","). This version of write enables me to have more than one variable written to file per statement. The problem that I have is that the content of the file is incorrect, unlike the one produced by the slow VB6 write in VB.NET.

Is there a better way of achieving this requirement; preferably using the streamwriter? I cannot use the streamwriter.write(double), becuase I'll have to use multiple lines as I am writing about 800 vars in convergence test loops resulting in a total of just over 2 million writes.

Ado INSERT Into Excel Works With Integers But Crashes With Doubles?

But as soon as I change any of the numbers to doubles (e.g. 23.32457) I get a crash (it doesnt crash on the insert, it crashes on the next one:)The INSERT INTO statement contains the following unknown field name: '23#2345'. Make sure you have typed the name correctly, and try the operation again.
