Trying to declare some arrays. I haven't worked with them that I remember. I always took the long road, of declaring each and every variable, but would like to learn this method. The problem is I'm having trouble with the methods I'm finding on the net..[code]for some reason there is a squiggly under each MonsterName except in the declaration that says "declaration expected"
View 16 RepliesWe can declare a byte variable like this, for hex '88'
Dim bytes = New Byte() { &H88 } My case, 88 is assigned to a variable, hexvalue
How to declare the byte with the variable hex value?
Dim bytes = New Byte() { &H & hexvalue }the above throws syntax error.
I'm trying out a program which I found on the net. Why is it necessary to put to curly braces at the end of the statement? It gives an error: "Byte has no constructors". Dim data As Byte() = New Byte(1023) {} I can't put the code like this either, it produces the error "byte cannot be a 1-dimensional array".

I have declared this variable in a module : Public GenericForm As System.Windows.Forms.Form
and then through code I can asign to that variable a specific form .For example GenericForm = Form1. Then I can use that variable to handle that specific form , for example :
GenericForm.Show
My problem begins when I want to handle a control on that form , for example :
GenericForm.TextBox1.Text = "aaa"
This code creates an error reading :TextBox1 is not a member of System.Windows.Forms.Form.I have been using code like this in VB6 and was quite useful ,but now in VB .NET I cannot .You see I have many forms on which there are some text boxes with the same name,so I declare a generic variable as Form and accordingly insert the code the desired text box conform the form I wish each time . Can I do this in VB .NET too ?
I have started using the builder class to create my connection strings for the sole purpose of making more generic connectivity code. However, I am stumped on this issue. The MS eConnect product apparently expects to receive integrated security=SSPI in its connection string if you want to use integrated security, (vs Integrated Secturity=True). I thought I would just pass "Trusted_Connection"="SSPI" to the builder class.
as it turns out, the item for Integrated Security is boolean and despite what the documentation says, will not give me SSPI in my connection string. Has anybody else found this issue and is there a simple fix for it? as for now, I'll simply strip out the item and replace it in my string.

How do i declare a variable length array in VB.NET?
In VB6, i would just put:
Dim sArrayList() As String
But when I do that in VB.NET, it highlights my array name and says "unused local variable". What do I need to do to get it to work without an error?
I am building a generic search form in my application. This will allow the user to search for various records throughout the application. The one thing I cannot seem to figure out is how to allow the declaration of the TableAdapter to change at run-time. Each part of the app will be passing a variable to the search form to specify which table should be loaded. In the form class I have the following:
FRIEND WITHEVENTS tbaSearchData AS database.databaseTableAdapters.TableOneTableAdapter This is great for TableOne. But, I have about a hundred tables that could be searched through. To load the data I'm using a DataGridView and populating it via a private method.
I have a class that I would like to link at construction to a given control (say a textbox)
I know I can put a variable into a subroutine referentially but is there a way to store it in the same capacity?
I've got
Option strict ON
Option explicit ON
How should I declare the variable:-

These two snippets do the same thing - is there one that's better than the other, or is it just a matter of preference?
Using context As MyDatabaseDataContext = New MyDatabaseDataContext()

Dim context As MyDatabaseDataContext = New MyDatabaseDataContext()
Dim test = context.Employees.Count

I come from C# (use VS 2005, .NET 2) and I know that when I declare a private variable I can "extract" from it the corresponding "property". In VB.NET I've declared a lot of properties (in the diagram class designer). Now am I forced manually adding the corresponding private fields?

Got a question regarding declaring a variable. Basically I have a module that writes to a text file using textwriter which is declared for the whole module to use at the top of the code. But what I want to do is clear the contents of the text file when the program is executed (using file.writealltext). The problem I have is that the file is obviously already in use as a result of the textwriter and the file cannot be modified because of this.
My question is: is there any way of declaring the textWriter object later on (not during the initial initialization of the module) without passing the object between functions? Setting the variable as inactive or something along those lines during initialization would be ideal.
What's best practice (in VB.Net):
Function GetSomething() as String
GetSomething = "Here's your string"
End Function
or
Function GetSomething() as String
Dim returnString as String = "Here's your string"
Return returnString
End Function
Obviously, neither of these implementations make any sense, but they're just meant to illustrate my point. Is there anything to be gained by using GetSomething itself to store the return value instead of declaring returnString locally and then returning that (does it avoid having an extra string allocated/instantiated - and if so, are there any performance/memory benefits)?
I have a problem involving late binding, and I absolutely cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix it. I have spent hours researching the problem to no avail, so I am turning to stackoverflow as a last resort.The problem is pretty much this: I am creating a grocery list application. I have a class named Item which stores the name, price, quantity, and description of an item on the grocery list. I have a module named ListCollection which defines a Collection of Item objects. I have created an Edit form which will automatically display the currently selected ListCollection item properties, but whenever I attempt to fill the text boxes, it tells me that Option Strict disallows late binding. I COULD take the easy route and disable Option Strict, but I'd prefer to figure out what the problem is so I know for future reference.I shall paste pertinent code here. (Late binding error is in EditItem.vb)

I have tried declaring a String variable and assigning the Item property to that, and I have also tried grabbing the value directly from the List item (not using the Get function), and neither of these made a difference.

I'm in a beginner programming logic and technique class that also teaches us VB, and I'm working on a program that is to simulate total theater revenue, that asks for the number of tickets sold in a particular section and then displays the amount of sales generated from that section. It needs to validate that the total number of tickets sold is not over the maximum seating in that section.[code]
1) I have a warning that "Variable 'section' is used before it has been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime" in line 18.
2) Regardless of the changes I've made, I always end up getting "0" as my end result. I'm actually supposed to use the toString currency format function when getting my end result, but that was mixing me up so I figured I'd at least make sure the output is correct before I fix that part. I thought I was on the cusp of having this working but I think I'm confusing myself more and more the more I mess with it.

View 5 Repliesi am developing this program in .NET (2010) and i connect on a form in VB6 using this code;
Dim P As New Process
P.StartInfo.FileName = "PathAndNameofVB6App"
P.WaitForExit()
P.Start()
now, how can i set a global variable that is accessible from my VB6 form to .NET(2010)?A little detail:VB.NET calls VB6 frmLogin then if Access Grant, x = 1, Exit() then VB.NET stores the value of x into database.
I get nothing but headaches when I try to update settings in the My.Settings class, or when I try to assign a newly assigned setting to a variable. Sometimes the settings update OK at run time; other times times they update only after the application closes; and other times still they appear to update at run-time, then when I close the program and reopen- they go back to the previous settings.This is how I assign a value to a my settings and how I assign a setting value to a variable.[code]

View 10 RepliesI am binding a textbox's text value setting to my a variable in my configuration file. I only consider the input from this textbox to be valid if it's an integer number bigger than 1. Right now what I was doing is letting the user write whatever he wanted in the box, and I'd only let him save the settings after calling a validation function. The problem seems to be that my binding variable in the Settings class seems to be being updated as soon as the textbox is being edited, and that's a behaviour i'd like to skip. How can I do this?
View 3 RepliesIm trying to create a diary system that on click event of the built in calander in vb.net opens the current diary entry for that day. i am using the my.settings variables to store the entrys the problems i am having is how to create a my.settings variable automaticly if one dosnt exist for that date (will be using the date of the clicked day as the name e.g. 10/5/2011)
So basicly i want the user to be able to click through the dates on the calander and the entry be displayed in a text box next to it, blank if nothing is there and the user can edit/save them after just need the code to auto create and i guess how to search the my.settings im quite new to using this storage, i normally use text files. the pic shows the program so far, it has one diary entry but it has no relation to the date. the label is linked to the calander also , displaying the selected date.
