there anyway that we can create our own primitive type? let's say we call this
Code:dim test = 4 then test will automatically be an integer right but i wanted this
Code:dim test = 4% and i want test not to be an integer, but a percentage_integer, in other words, my own primitive type. is that possible?
I am curious about the string and primitive types. Article like this says string is primitive type. However second article on MSDN does not list string as primitive type. However when I ran the code provided in second article, it displays String is not Primitive type.

Am i correct in saying if either one of the sub-expressions equals zero then its false, otherwise its true? Sorry, im not too up to speed on VB.net.
Is there any class or specific method for getting non-primitive types in an assembly? FieldInfo.Gettype() will do for primtive types but what about non-primitive types?
View 3 Repliesaddressing the need for getting the bytes of an object. But I am wondering if there is an approach to calling BitConverter.GetBytes on a generic type where I know the type is a primitive (Int32, UInt16, etc).
Public Sub Foobar(Of T as Structure)()
Dim x as T 'Assume T is declared as Int32
Dim y() as Byte
y = System.BitConverter.GetBytes(x)
End Sub
The above will throw your usual error:
Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'GetBytes' can be called with these arguments:
'Public Shared Function GetBytes(value As Double) As Byte()': Value of type 'T' cannot be converted to 'Double'.
'Public Shared Function GetBytes(value As Single) As Byte()': Value of type 'T' cannot be converted to 'Single'.

One solution I think would work is a large Select Case calling GetType(), but that is horrendously slow (because of boxing) and looks ugly. I would think that since I call my higher level class with a primitive data type for T, that the compiler would be smart enough to figure it out, but I assume I am not providing enough information for it to derive what T's underlying value is at compile time for the invoked instances.
Given a list of objects, I'd like to print a string version of them just in case the object.ToString() result is a relevant string.By that I mean I don't want to get things like:
obj.ToString() -> System.Collections.Generic.List`1[MyLib.Dude]
obj.ToString() -> System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.Int32,System.DateTime]
obj.ToString() -> System.Byte[]
But I want to get things like:
obj.ToString() -> Hi
obj.ToString() -> 129847.123
obj.ToString() -> Id = 123
What should be the best way to implement this in a method:
Public Sub PrintInterestingStuffOnly(ByVal coolList as Ilist(Of Object))
For Each obj in coolList

Is it possible to extend primitive types such as System.String and System.Int32 (IE: integer) in .Net 4 and if so how?
To be more specific, I am aware of the concept of partial classes but this doesnt seem to be the answer. Also I find that System.String is not inheritable and Int32 is a structure.
Lastly I am interested in knowing both a VB.Net and C# answer to the above question.
primitive types (integer, string, etc) are now classes. However to access the value of the class you just use the object name (ex, x=y). It isn't necessary to refer to a property of the class (x.value = y.value).

I have created a UserControl Popup window and called that xaml file into another file. Imported the namespace.When I am trying to build this project an error at this below given code:
<Popup x:Name="POP" IsOpen="False" PlacementTarget="{Binding}" Placement="Center" AllowsTransparency="True">
<a:PopUpWindow x:Name="pp" />
</Popup>
Error at
<a:PopUpWindow x:Name="pp" />
Could not create an instance of type 'PopUpWindow'.
I have some code like:
Lookup(Of String)("Testing")
Lookup(Of Integer)("Testing")
And both of those Lookups work great. What I'm trying to is call the appropriate LookUp based on the type of another variable. Something that would look like...
Lookup(Of GetType(MyStringVariable))("Testing")
I've tried to Google this but I'm having a hard time coming up with an appropriate search.
I try to describe my problem step by step because I do not know how to say it in correct programming terms.
When I use a System.String type, I do the following:
Declare the type: Dim Str1 as String
Assign its value: Str1 = "This is a string"
I want to create a new type that just like the System.String type but in different name. For example, I want to create a UrlString type for string like this:
Declare the type: Dim Str2 as UrlString
Assign its value: Str2 = "http://www.example.com"
My question is: How do I create the UrlString type?
The reason: I want to create the UrlString type to help me to identify the value of the content. For example, UrlString type means the string is in url format, PhoneString means the string is in phone format, CreditCardString type means the string is in credit card format and so on.
Class UrlString
Private ReadOnly value As String
Public Sub New(ByVal value As String)

View 1 RepliesI want a priority queue that takes two or more entries and sorts by the first one. I already have a priority queue from some programmer named ookii. I had another one and tried that too. Both of them only take one entry, and that just seems useless to me.
Both of them are classes that say like, Dim pq new PriorityQueue(of T)You see, that of T is one element. I don't know what to do to make 2 or more linked elements that can be easily called from existing variables and stuck in a queue sorted by the first element. Basically what I'm used to using is like,Dim sl as new SortedList(thekey,thevalue)When i put things in there, I know what's going on at least.I don't have the experience required to create my own class unless you can walk me through what I need to alter in some other class. I barely know how to go to references and double-click a .dll file that someone else made so I can use functions from it.
I thought to put an array in the "of T" part of the priority queue I have already. But then I'm dimming a whole array every time I want a new entry to the queue. So I want like, a vector? Or some other multi-part entry for the "of T". Two "of T" parts would be ideal because I worked with Sortedlists well already.
