Declare Some Global Variables For Use In Various Subs/functions?
Oct 21, 2011
At the head of a module, I wish to declare some global variables for use in various subs/functions.
What is the difference between.Dim x as string and Private x as string / Public x as string, and when would I use one over the other?

Namespace MyClassLib
Public Class MainClass
Public Sub New()
[CODE]...
Is it possible to make it so that the user using the Class Library has to declare a new Instance of MainClass() before using Subs/Functions in Class2 or Class3?

What happens if I do: Dim x As New Int32? Is a object of int placed on the heap? If it is, maybe your application would be able to access global variables faster if they were reference types.
A global variable as an value type should be somewhere at the bottom of the stack most of the time and it might take more time to get to this then to get a object from the heap. Unless it's the same story with the pointer of this object is also at the bottom of the stack of course.

I have a solution with 5 visual basic projects in it. Each project has an identical module with a few functions and constants - like handling our RS232 data, outputting events to log files, etc, etc..
If I want to change any of this common code, then I have to manually go through and change in each project. Is there a way to have a single module or class that's shared throughout the projects in the entire solution? I've considered creating and referencing a class library, but I'm likely to be making several little tweaks and changes to this "global code" and that method sounds like it could be just as awkward. Can I not just have a module that's visible to all projects, and compiled into each one seperately when the solution is built?

I have an array that I created in a sub with a button. I was wondering how I could use this array in other subs after it has been created. I tried making it public and global, but it didn't work.

Is there a way to keep from extensions from appearing as global subs, even when you are not dealing with the relevant type? I guess from how they are created, they always show up as global functions whenever I use intellisense, which, depending upon how many extensions there are, can be a pain. I want them to appear only as methods to the relevant type variable.

I don't mean to sound unintelligent, but is there a way to insert your functions and subs into visual basic and call them from and program made in visual basic? I don't want to have to put the code in over and over again.

I was wondering how to implement a vb script file with functions and subs that can be used in all code pages of a project. Similar to the old VB 6 bas files.

Option Explicit On
Option Strict On
Public Class frmMain
Private Sub btnSub_Click(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles btnSub.Click
Call CalcSumSub(CLng(txtN.Text))
[Code] .....
I'm not receiving any errors or any thing I just need figuring out the logic in this program. The Program Needs to Accept Input in One text box and adds n numbers together and displays the sum using only subroutines and Functions.

Earlier I was working on a project, and I added a StatusToolStrip and the the ToolStrip I added a label and a progress bar. The label will say the current sub or function that is in progress and the progress bar will show how far along it is through the sub or function. I have tried this myself but I cannot figure it out as I rarely use progress bars.
An example of a code that I would like the progress bar to show would be like this:
Private Sub StopServer_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles StopServer.Click
'Checks to give server notice
If My.Settings.warningmessages = True Then
Dim cmd As String = My.Settings.warningmessagetext(2)
[Code] .....
So while the sub is running the label would say "Stopping Server" and the progress bar would show how far along the sub is.

This is very basic about the layout of classes, subs etc. 1. Should all my subs & functions always be inside a class? I haven't used classes too much before, mostly just a bunch of subs in a form file. Now I downloaded a sample program which I want to develop. This has all the code of the form inside "Public Class Form1": [Code] The code is an example of use of the ZedGraph library. It produce a simple window with one graph/chart. Now I want to develop this code with several tabs, a dusin different charts, file I/O and so on. I'm ok with most of the specific coding, but my question is on the general coding;
2. Should I continue my subs&functions inside this form? inside this class? inside a new class? Earlier when I've NOT been using class, I can make global variables by placing the "Dim" outside the subs. This does not seem to work within a class. 3. Should I avoid global variables all together, or how is this done without always passing arguments?
Also I will make more forms, for program options etc. 4. Should these forms be coded as classes? or just subs&functions in a form? Obviously I'm not well trained on the proper use of classes and have trouble to find this easily explained.

I define some global variables of a class as follows:
Private Class MyClass
Private var1 as Decimal
Private list1 as List(Of string)[code].....
But I found that after this form is closed, all above variables, var1, list1, list2 still exist in memory. I thought they should be collected by gc since the form is already disposed as I confirmed.
Add: I have monitored half an hour after the form is closed. But these variables are not collected by gc. I have an automatic update procedure on the form which uses above variables.Since the above variables still hold values, the automatic update procedure is always called which causes exception. (One quick fix is to check if form.isDisposed in update procedure. But I do not think this is elegeant. Besides, these variables occupy memory.)

I am porting an app from VB6 and I run into problems with references to functions and subs. Basically, let's say I have 2 classes added to the project, like this.
Public Class OOOOO
Public Shared Sub BBBBBBB(ByVal FileName As String)
...
Call CCCCCC()
Call DDDDDD()
etc.
...
End Sub
[Code] .....
I had to make the BBBB() shared to be able to call it from another function AAAAAA() from another class PPPPP. However, I get error on the references in the BBBBB(), that CCCC() and DDDD() have to be made also shared (so instead of 1 error I got number of errors).
When I tried to make them shared as well, I got tens and tens of errors due to other references of both variables and functions.

How do I pass parameters of LINQ DataTables through Functions and Subs

I have a number of unrelated subs and functions that do various things on my server (e.g. Lighting control, data caching, server maintenance, etc). They are all in various classes which I have coalesced into a single solution.My goal is to create a single, simple interface which each of these disparate classes can be integrated and called from a command line interface. Instead of hard-coding a longish case statement which parses arguments and passes them to the various subs, I wanted to make a generic class which can be instantiated with a minimum of information and put into a data structure. Ideally, adding a new function would involve:
1.) Providing the function pointer (Delegate). The delegates will have various signatures. This is the crux of the question.
2.) Providing ancillary info such as the command-line callable name, number of arguments, argument types, etc.
I have a 100% working class called "node" which is basically a hierarchical tree of node instances. I can use this to simply organize function calls in related branches. All is working quite well.NodeFunctionDelegate(ByVal args As String) As String.The node takes the arguments passed to it by the command line and sends it as the "args" string as comma-separated. The delegate function then needs to know how to split up these comma-separated values, type them, tryparse them and etc. It then must return some string.It works, but it involves writing a middle-man function stub which can receive the argument string from the node class, do the parsing and type checking, and then call the destination function.My goal is to eliminate this trivial middle-man function. The problem is, I can't figure out how to create a variable-signature delegate for the node class.

I have an application that queries DHCP and pulls scope/subnet information. There are roughly 8k scopes on our network to query so reporting this data takes a little bit of time. I currently have this running on it's own thread and reporting to a progress bar so the applications doesn't seem inactive.
The DHCP api functions can report a total, a max read and a resume argument. This means that I can, in theory start 4 threads and have each thread read through 2k subnets, so it will only take 1/4 of the time to read all this data. Would I need to create four separate background worker handlers, do_works, runworkcomplete, report progress etc.?

I'm almost sure that I've seen this somewhere, but I can't find it anymore. Or maybe I'm imagining it, which would'nt be strange either.
When creating a sub or function and adding parameters used when calling it.
-Is it possible to list the parameters that I can enter when using it somewhere in my code?
E.g.
Public Sub MessageMain(ByVal Message As String, ByVal MessageType As String (List of possible values for MessageType)) Same for example as when you have boolean values in a sub/function. As soon as you use that somewhere in your code intellisense will present you with True/False to select.
I'd like the same for parameters in subs or functions I create and calling them from somewhere in my code. Saves me the trouble of remembering which options are available for those parameters.

I have a page where the page loads with the code as shown below. Pretty much every other sub on the page uses the variables gFilename, gPicType and gPicPath. In every other routine I have to go through the process of recreating gPicPath (as per the if/then block in the code). How do I create these variables ONCE, and then store them so that all the other subs can access them?
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
' check to see if this is the first time the page is loaded.
If IsPostBack = False Then

I'm having an issue where I need to pass the value in a variable from one sub to anotherHere is the scenario. I have two forms; Main_Form and frmClient. I take a value from frmClient and pass it into a sub called Form_Activate located in Main_Form. I then need to take the value from Form_Activate and use it in a sub called when the user selects a menu item in the toolstrip.Starting point is frmClient and the code there is this:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender as System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim Client As Integer
