During a code review I looked at set of repository classes (in vb.net). I am used to seeing these repository classes full of functions that return collections (among other things) of your domain objects. However, this repository had 1 public property and 1 private variable that looked something like this:
Private _item as Collection (of Customer) Public Item as Collection (of Customer) Get... Set...
In the "Get", there is code that gets a the Customers from the DAL and loads it in the private _item. What would the benefits be in using a property (customerRepository.Item) instead of plain old function (customerRepository.GetAllCustomers)? The "Property" way looks odd to me but odd doesn't always mean wrong.
I have created a class called clsLogIn [code]Now I am on a different form, frmSchedule, and I want to get the ProviderNum property from clsLogin into a text box.
I was wondering if someone could explain to me the differences between these 2 ways of accessing a class property.Access Way : 1 (To me this looks like im declaring the property of the class as a Global variable which can be changed anywhere
I want to create a custom class that has inside an array of another custom class (see my code below) but when the programm runs is crashes. Why? What is the right expression???? Plz help I'm a newbie in VB.net.....
Public Class ctrarray Public nameclass As String Public ctrlindex(glvar_spaces) As ctrlindexclass End Class
So I've run into a case where I have a class that can store either a string or a numeric value, and I want a single property to return one or the other (it would be a failure for both to be set). I'm using a custom generic class to deal with the numerics (so I can use signed, unsigned, and nullables), and will be storing the string in a separate variable.
In theory, if overloading could be done based on the return type, I could do this quite easily. But .NET currently disallows this. So I am wondering if there is some other really-far-out-there trick (outside of MSIL generation via Reflection.Emit) that could accomplish the same thing.
I'm open to ideas via delegates, pointer dereferencing, generics, mystical rites, etc. Also interested in any thoughts or pros/cons of such possibilities as a learning tool. If using a standard Object is the only way to achieve what I want, then that's fine with me. But It's difficult to find the correct set of keywords to hunt down this kind of capability on Google, so I thought I'd ask here before I moved on to doing something else on the project.
I'm trying to add validation to one of my class properties:[code]The value for the golfer's handicap comes from a oombo box on the form. Even if I have nothing set for this property at runtime, my validation doesn't work. I tried putting the If statement under Get instead of Set, and tried mHandicap = value after an Else in the If statement, but nothing seems to work. I'm working in the dark here and can't find anything suitable online. I was hoping to not go down the path of ReadOnly or WriteOnly properties as I'm not at that stage yet, but does this make a difference for my purposes here? Can anyone guide me as to what I'd need to do from this point? If I've got it right, you can add validation in the class and this means that you then don't need to repeat this validation in the form??
I have a For Each block loops through a list of objects, the objects are all instances of a single custom class I have made which has multiple properties.The logic used in this block uses a property of the custom class to do a set action, is it possible to dynamically supply which property it uses in the logic? This will be more efficient and prevent me from having to create this logic over for each property of the custom class.My best guess was that maybe it is possible with reflection, however my searches into reflection have left me more confused.
I am trying to create a settings class.The Property Test() is a list of strings.When I add a string such as: t.test.Add("asasasAAAAA")I want it to autmatically turn lowercase. using t.test.Add(("asasasAAAAA").ToLower) will not work for what I need. [code]
I am trying to use a custom colour scheme for painting my menustrips, toolstrips etc. To do this, I am implementing a custom ToolStripProfessionalRenderer.
Normally i would simply set the renderer of each toolstrip etc. to a new instance of a ToolStripProfessionalRenderer instantaniated with a custom ColorTable i.e.
Dim myRenderer As ToolStripProfessionalRenderer = New ToolStripProfessionalRenderer(New MyColorTable)
If we say blue is the default colour of the Backcolor property I understand it as if you don't specify a colour for Backcolor blue will be its colour. But I could not make sense of default property of a class in the context of building a custom user control. After calling an instance of a class we have to either call one of its members or assign an other object for it. Therefore why should there be a default property?
I have several custom classes in a VB.NET (VS2008) project which are related to each other through generic list collections. The lower tier classes refer directly to some of the parent classes (to make it easier to refer backwards up the chain). My question is, is it possible to add the reference to the parent class when the item is added to a collection, when that collection is a property?
Below is some sampling of code to illustrate. Public Class FlexServer Private m_FlexLicenses As List(Of FlexLicense) Private m_Modules As List(Of FlexModule) Public Property FlexLicenses() As List(Of FlexLicense) [code] .....
In the code above I have the FlexServer class which refers has two lists as properties, one for FlexLicense and one for Modules. The FlexLicense class has a property to refer back to the FlexServer class that "owns" it. In order to update this property in code, I have to add the FlexLicense to the FlexServer.FlexLicenses list AND set the FlexLicense.FlexServer property. What I am looking for is, is there a way (in the property definition or wherever) to both add the item to the list and alter it at the same time?
Is it possible to create a user control with a list of custom class type property? If it is, how can I? The issue is that, in designer mode the property is not displayed in property window. I can add the list on markup but when i switch to the designer mode it gives an error which is 'The user control does not have a public property named BookList'.
I have created a class "student" and made an array which contains students.I would not only like to display the array in a datagridview, but the array should also be updated if the user makes changes to one of the students in the datagridview.
I succeeded in showing the array in the dgv: one way is using datasource prop, the other is doing is diagrammatically. However, i can't find out how to let the user edit the array by editing the dgv.
I'm moving my first steps in the VB.NET world (I come from VB6) and I'm stuck with the creation of a particular class.
Let's say we have a bus that always has 101 places. I'm trying to create a class containing the map of the bus, along with methods to graphically represent it.
My "Bus" class will have a couple of properties ("BusColor", "BusModel") related to the whole bus. Then it should have a property called "Places" whose type is a custom class thet represents every single place, along with, for example, the passenger name or the place number. This property should of course be an array.
This is my code so far (simplified):
Public Class BusMap Private Const MAX_PLACES As Integer = 101 Private _BusModel As String = ""
[Code]....
but I wonder if there is a more standard way of doing this.
My second question is: how can I modify my class to be able to iterate its Places property with the "for each" statement? A quick search on the web showed up that I should implement the IEnumerable interface, but I'm still not enough confident with the concept of Interfaces.
I've been programming in VB.net for a while off and on, but never really had a need to use custom classes till now.I built a function in a module to populate a class, The class how ever is supposed to refer to one instance.I need to create an array of this class but the amount of instances needed is not always known.Works fine till the class goes to populate the class array.[code]It's probably something simple, I've just starred at it to long. Keep gettitng "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
I have two classes, and for a property in one of the classes I'd like to be able to load it up with an array of the other class. However my attempt at accomplishing this results in a "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error. I know it's a rookie mistake, but I'm stumpedssist?
My code is as follows: Namespace Parking Public Class garage
Stack Overflowers:I have been racking my brain trying to get an List(of T) type array to be the property of a class. I know there has to be a simple way of doing it and I can't find a good example on google. Everytime I create a class that I think will work I get the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error when I try to use it. My thinking now is that I cannot use it in the way I was hoping to. Here is my latest attempt:
Public Class Item Private _itemno As String Public Property ItemNo() As String Get
I am working on a project which lets the user edit the students in a certain group using a datagrid. First I created a class called student and then I created a student-array. Displaying the students in a datagrid works fine. On form-load, I change the datagridview.datasource to the student-array. The datagrid has 20 rows by default (Public dbstudebt(0 To 19) As student). When I edit an existing student everything works fine but when I fill something in in an empty cell and press enter or tab to confirm and add a new student, it just clears the cell and nothing happens. So basically, editing existing studs in the datagrid works fine, making new student doesn't work at all as those cells are always cleared immediately.
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).
I want to create a user defined data structure, which will be a 2 dimensional array such that each individual square of this 2-dimensional array will also store the score and the grades. ( Iam using VB.NET) More details:
for example: There is an 2 dimensional array with 3 columns and 2 rows, I want to fill each of the
(0,0);(0,1);(0,2) with their own score (Integer type) and grades (String Type).
And this is same for the rest of the squares i.e. (1,0);(1,1);(1,2) and (2,0);(2,1);(2,2)
After creating such custom data structure: "CustomArray", I should be able to create the instance of this custom data structure (which will be a class) and code something like this:
Dim objCustomArray as CustomArray objCustomArray = New CustomArray for i as Integer =0 to 3
