Do you really need this keyword to overload methods? What is the difference between using the overloads keyword vs. just having different method signatures?
View 5 RepliesFrom what I can see online the Overloads keyword is optional but is there ever a time when it is necessary? It even seems to be an error when used in a Module.

View 1 RepliesComing from C#..I was looking at this website [URL]..And noticed that it said
public static void Main(string[] args) {is equivalent to Overloads Shared Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)
what is that "Overloads" all about?
I was familiar with the optional parameters in vb 6 and it made sense given the capabilities of the language but why the heck does VB.Net support optional parameters when there is method overloading? Which one should I use and is there a difference? If there is a difference when should I use each one?

Is there a more elegant way to add do this? One class would suffice, but since the Add methods have different arguments, then one really wouldn't work.

I have a question. In the framework, that was largely written before the generics came, you often see a function with lots of overloads to do something with different types. [code] and then have some kind of ifs/switch statements with typeof() to try to infer what the types are and what to do with them.What is best practise? Or what are the ideias that'd help me choose between a) and b)?

View 2 RepliesI'm looking for a library compatible with microsoft.net framework that allows the creation and verification of XAdES signatures (XAdES, XAdES-C, XAdES-XL, etc...).It is important that the library enable the programmer to choose:
1.- Type of certificate to use in the signature process (PFX file, Windows centralized store, SmartCard)
2.- CRL to validate the certificate.
3.- Possibility to include Time stamping on the signature.
4.- Possibility to include OCSP response on the signature.
All I found are libraries in Java, but have not found any libraries in .NET.

I added a table to my program and it generated two errors and not it will not build. I have added quite a few tables and this has never happened before. The reeors are:
1. public sub new ' has multiple definitions with identical signatures
2. 'Protected Overrides Sub OnCreateMainForm()' has multiple definitions with identical signatures.
I have deleted the table that I added and tried undoing everything having to do with it but nothing works.
I am assuming "No", but I cannot find conclusive proof on Google to back this assumption. Using keywords of 'vb.net "generic operator overload"' yields exactly 1 result, and removing 'overload' gives more, but no direct statement to the issue.
My thinking is given an abstract class, it'd be great to be able to implement a generic operator overload that a derived class can use in such a case when said operator overload has to return a New copy of the derived class, yet the code for each overload is the same. If that makes any sense.
This touches back to my previous questions on my custom Enum class and overloading the bitwise operators (And, Or, Not, & Xor), but, this particular thought was prompted by a mere curiosity of "Can it be done?".
Here's what one of my custom enums basically look like:
The parent, EBase is nothing special, just hosting common Name and Value properties, plus two shared operators, op_Equality and op_Inequality.
Friend NotInheritable Class EExample
Inherits EBase
Private Sub New()
[Code]....
Then (in theory anyways), calling EExample.OneA Or EExample.FiveE would work because the compiler would know to call the generic operator overload from EBase, know that EExample.Enums matches the IEnums interface constraint, and automatically supply T.
That or I'm just swimming up a certain creek here without a paddle and over-analyzing things. But it's an interesting thought, no? What is StackOverflow's consensus? Do I need to lay off the Spice a little bit?
PS: I use /* */ style comments because Markdown doesn't handle VB-style properly.
PPS: I know that, in the last example, Return New T( ... ) is invalid, but I can't think of a proper syntax that would articulate the basic idea.

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 am having a problem setting up automated email signatures for a company through VBScript. Everything works fine apart from the rich text file creation. In this section for some reason a double underscore (__) always appears at the end of the e-mail signature when a user has their outlook set up for rich text. As you can see the script creates the signature in all the file formats needed.

I have recently come across some code that has the following. First there is a Interface with the following function Function Validate() As Boolean. That interface is then implemented in the an 'ABSTRACT' class like this.
Public MustOverride Overloads Function Validate() As Boolean Implements IBusinessEntity.Validate
Question 1: Why use Overloads in the Abstract class implementation.
Question 2: The Abstract class is then inherited into a class (TestClass). In TestClass the Validate function is implemented as follows Public Overloads Overrides Function Validate() As Boolean. I understand the Overrides keyword is to insure that this is the version of the Validate that you want called and not the Abstract class version but why again use the keyword Overloads?
From what I understand you can overload a constructor of a class by simply changing the constructor signature. Also, you overload Methods and Properties of a class by using the Keyword Overloads. But why do it when your implementing an Interface method, or an Abstract Class method that's inherited.
Consider a MyForm class that contains a shadowed implementation of Show(). It also contains a CreateForm() method, which accepts an instance of the form and calls the shadowed sub:
