I'm trying to build a language dictionary in VB NET in order to be able to have several languages in the application.This dictionary has a init method that loads from database the entire dictionary and stores it in memory.In the rest of the classes of the project, I added the reference and I can use directly the object without create a new instance because their methods are shared.
how i have to load the dictionary content in order that the rest of classes only accessing to Language.GetWord method obtains the properly record of the collection, same way as My.Settings class.When My.Settings is used from any class the values are loaded. I'm looking for the same effect.This is the code of the class:
Public Class LanguageProvider
Private Shared CurrentLanguage As Collection
Public Shared ReadOnly Property GetWord(ByVal Label As String)
[code]....
Function LoadLanguage must be called when the application loads, in order to access once to database. After that property GetWord must access to the collection with the words and return the result. The problem is that the instances are not the same and the dictionary is not loaded when a class uses it.
I have an object that is defined as a global variable based on custom class. Within that class I have an event that gets fired a certain intervals. These events are fired on the same thread as where the object is declared. How do I create a global object, but have the events within that object fire on a separate thread?
evrytime i add new controls to a form in vb.net the designer regenerates code and asks me to make corrections, so i have to keep on changing the object declarations to global using the 'global' keyword evertime it regenarates code,especialy dataset objects.how can i prevent this?
What is the recommended way in VS.NET to have a global application handler object? Something that can load/verify/return user folders, settings, application specfic settings, manage the unhandled exceptions, etc. I would have a class that has most of the code, then subclass it for each application.
I can create one if I start as a module instead of a form. But then I lose some options such as NetworkAvailabilityChanged, etc. I define a "Public" object from within a form (I don't think so and don't feel this would be the right approach.)?can I "attach" an object to an existing global object store (such as "My."), etc.?
Once created, any object in my application should be able to reference methods/properties of this application object to get default folders, user values, etc. as necessary.
This is also posted in the database development forum. As I think the same problem could apply to things other than connections, I am posting it here also. I have created a custom class. All methods in this class, I want to interact with a single connection object.
Imports MySql.Data.MySqlClient Public Class clsRegTester Private cn As New MySqlConnection
I have a huge website (containing around 5000+) pages. There is a theme functionality in the website where user can choose different colors for their profile. Now i want to use the ASP.net theme feature and put different CSS (for different colors) in the theme folder and in Global.asax i want check the user theme and render appropriate link element with the css. But my problem is, i am not able to access the Page element for adding the link in the page. Here is my code
Dim page As System.Web.UI.Page = TryCast(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Handler,System.Web.UI.Page) page.StyleSheetTheme = "Black"
But when i run this code I get a Null reference error.
P.s : My application is very huge so its not possible to have a master page or a base class and inherit it in every page.
I need a single, global OleDbConnection. One which will be available to use throughout my app/project. Another project like a custom UserControl? I should mention I'm not using TableAdapters, BindingNavigitor, etc. The datasource is not associated with my project. I communicate with the Db through code I write. I'm just a hack trying to ride with the big dogs while I develop an app for my job... We were/are in the stone-age!!!
I want to create a dataset that I can access from any form. I already created the tables and columns using the dataset designer. I read that I can declare the dataset as public in a module, but when I try to access a table I have to put the name of the module in front otherwise I get a "Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference" error. When I declare a variable as public in a module I never have to specify the name of the module to access the variable, so why do I need to do it for a dataset? The code in my module is:
How Can I create a Global Varibale for my vb.net project. When I LongIn I want to keep the user Id in a varible and I will Use it in deferent Forms. And The User name will be saver in the varible untill I close the Software.

I want to create a global function to use throughout my application. Let say it's about the connection to the database.My code that i plan to use in my global function is:
myConnection = New SqlConnection("...........") myConnection.Open()
So that I can call it to use in every form throughout my application. This can make me easy to edit the connection later.how to define this global function and how to call this function in the form.
how to create a global variable for this situation: I would like to store who logs in to a system (like, who is currently logged in, when he logged in) and then use that info for a transaction form, which will look like this: which admin made the transaction).
If I were to use a global variable, it would mean having to pass it onto several forms right (eg: from login form to the forms that will use the log information). I'm also thinking of just having a config file that will store the said login info that will be changed everytime a user logs in.
I have some existing code that looks something like this:
[tag:cb cbid="12345" cbwidth="200" cbclassname="calloutbox" cbposition="left"] Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. [tag:cb cbid="123" cbwidth="200" cbclass="calloutbox2" cbposition="left"] Suspendisse eleifend enim a magna pretium porttitor.
I need to write a VB .Net global function that will match these [tag:cb] and take the optional parameters and rewrite the string with Html tags.
<div id="12345" width="200" class="calloutbox" position="left">content (based on id)</div>

I am developing an IT Asset Tracking application using VB 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Express edition. Will I need to create classes to represent objects such as Computers, Printers, Scanners/Faxes, Contracts, Purchase Orders etc or are there any other approaches.For example, if I am correct, I will have a class called Computer and its properties will include Make,Model,CPU,Hard Disk,Memory etc. Is this the right approach.
Computers can be split up into Desktop PC's, Servers and Notebooks. Would I have to create separate classes for these as well or would they be ok under the Computer class.Once I create an object from the class, how can I use the object to interact with the SQL db.I am a beginner to VB.NET 2005 therefore I am slowly getting to grips with OOP.
I have a Public Class named UserData which consists of Login and Password properties, as well as various permissions related properties.
I declare an instance of this class in a Public Module (named DatabaseFunctions) as
Public User As New UserData Functions in that module are able to access the instance as expected. How do I access said instance from outside of the module?
Until now, I've only needed to utilize the information within that instance from within the module, so I didn't realize that I wasn't able to access it externally. Now, I need to display data contained in that instance on a form.
I had assumed I would be able to use User.Login outside of the function in which it was declared, since everything was declared as Public, but it seems I was mistaken.

I am using VB Express 2008, and I am trying to create a COM object to use in Excel. I have looked at the walkthroughs, but it seems they only apply to Visual Studio.

I want to allow my user to add certain small pictures into a form which has a bigger pictures. My idea is to simply allow the user to move small pictureboxes that is set on the top of the form to wherever she wants it to be. My problem is that she may want more than one instance of the same picturebox. I am wondering if I can create a picturebox (complete with the picture) during run time?
