Difficulties Serializing Classes With Attached Events
Jan 27, 2010
Surprised this question has not been asked yet here, but here goes: Serialization in VB.NET is a bit of a pain. If you use the standard Serializable() attribute, and attempt to serialize a class that has events which are attached to handlers, it will attempt to serialize the handlers as well. Coming from a C# background I am not used to dealing with this problem, and the best solution I can find is using a class off of CodeProject.

Often it is very usefull to save data as a class by serialize and compress it. From few experiments I have noticed that
Class A
Public name as string
Public List as new list(of string) <---- empty
End Class
Class B
Public name as string
Public List as list(of string) <----- not instantiated
End Class
If I serialize and compress the 2 classes the class B uses less spaces once serialized and compressed. This suggests me that if a class contains a list that is instantiated but empty it is better to set that to nothing and reset as new when it is decompressed and deserialized. Is there any dll that optimizes a class to be stored (serialized and compressed) and restore it when it is decompressed and deserialized?

i have a complex object that holds a WPF Canvas with many child canvases, rectangles and, lines. The object includes some home grown classes as well. The main object and the home grown classes have the <Serializable()> attribute set. I tried the general formatter.Serialize(strm, rb_x) to serialize the object to a memory stream. I then found out that WPF classes are set as serializable. So after some research I discovered the System.Runtime.Serialization and found a generic Serialization Surrogate.So after some debugging I was able to serialize the object to a memory stream then copied the stream to an array of bytes then store that array in an OLE field in an MS Access table.
When I read back the access record and copy the OLE field byte array back to a memory stream and then de-serialize it back to the object I get a SerializationException "Error binding to target method."
So question #1 - is what I am trying even possible?Question #2, (assuming #1 is yes) do I need to do something special with WPF Baml type objects.

I find that I write a lot of code within my classes to keep properties in sync with each other. I've read about Events in Classes, but have not been able to wrap my head around how to make them work for what I'm looking for.For example, in this one I always want to keep myColor up to date with any change whatsoever in any or all of the Red, Green or Blue properties.
Class myColors
Private Property Red As Byte
Private Property Green As Byte
[code]....
If one or more of those changes, I want myColor to be updated. Easy enough as above, but is there a way to work with events that would automatically do this so I don't have to put myColor = Color.FromArgb(Red, Green, Blue) in every sub routine?

I am currently trying to make a calendar project it has 2 user controls one is the calendar and the other is the calender day control. When the month changes in the calender control I need to raise an event in daycontrol to update any holidays. In the calendar control I have the following code for the event:
Friend Event MonthChanged()
Public Sub New()
' This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.

I'd like to be able to log to the console every time an event is fired either in the object I've instantiated or in anything it's instantiated [ad infinitum]. I wouldn't see some of these events normally due to them being consumed further down the chain). Ideally I would be able to log all public and private events but if only public are possible, I can live with that.
I've Googled and all I can find is how to monitor a directory - So I'm not sure if this is not possible or simply has a name that I don't know.
The sort of information I'm after is similar to what's found in an exception - Target Site, Source, Stack Trace, etc...
Could I perhaps do this through reflection somehow?
To Give you an idea of the console App:
Sub Main()
Container = ContainerGenerate.GenerateContainer()
Dim TemplateID As New Guid("5959b961-b347-46bc-b1b6-cba311304f43")

[code]Now how do i do this in c#. I know there is not handles clause in c# so i need some function that is called and assign the event handlers there. However since its a shared class there is no constructor i must put it somewhere outside of a function.

I have a program with a base class and classes that inherit the base. A Windows Form will call a function of each child class which raises an event from the base class. The function call to the first child class works fine: the event is raised for the first child class.

Raising events in multithreaded classes?
I am running a class(gamepad handler) that uses many child threads to check for key input and the like then it raises events to my form to sort out the needed reaction, Is there a way to make the event raises on the same thread as the class itself.

I am having problems with serializing and de serializing my objects.The following is my code for serializing buttons and labels which I have in my form.
Dim nodes As New List(Of nodeclass)
Dim objStreamWriter As New StreamWriter(filelocation)
For Each btn As Button In myNodeBtns
Dim u As New nodeclass
[code].....
I get an error: There is an error in XML document (20, 3).Now I have found out that this is because I have 2 root elements and 2 xml declerations. When I save the xml for the button and te xml for the label in 2 different files, I have no problem. However I have no idea how to go about saving the xml for both of them in the same file and deserializing it back.

I have made an application which involves the .NET Chart control by Microsoft. My difficulty here is that I'm targeting my applications for lower specs computers, i.e. with fresh installed Windows XP and with .NET Framework 2.0 installed on them. Whereas the Chart control requires .NET 3.5 to be installed on the system.
I was thinking, is it possible that I make my app that runs on the system which has .NET 2.0 on it, and in the part where my app shows the Chart, it simply shows a message that "please install .NET 3.5 in order to view the trend charts". And when the user installs the .NET 3.5, my app detects it and enables the chart control.
Problem is that if I want my app to run on 2.0 framework, I have to set the target framework in compile options to 2.0. But that way I cannot put the Chart control on my WinForm because it requires at least 3.5 framework to be set in the compile options.If I set the 3.5 as target framework, then obviously it wont run on 2.0 system.
Can some kind of conditional coding be done that only runs if the system is equipped with 3.5 framework. I dont want to create two separate applications for 3.5 with chart, and 2.0 without chart.

I have problem on deploying applications to workstations that uses crystal reports as its functionality. My Platform is Visual Basic 2008 with .NET 4.0 Framework combined with MySQL Database and Crystal Report integrated to the VB 2008 IDE. Here are the problems:
1. When the user attempts to generate reports, he is prompted to enter his username and password. This problem is encountered in MySQL database.
2. The application uses a text box with passwordchar property to mask the password. On some computers, it works but on others it is not able to mask it.

I'm trying to use a generic list without knowing the type when loading the page. I have a typePropertyCollection which inherits from List(Of PropertyData). The usercontrol that uses this collection doesn't know what type of data is used (which objects). So when the page is loaded, I pass along the type to the usercontrol using a dependencyproperty. This type ends up in this method:
Private Shared Sub OnObjectTypeChanged(ByVal obj As DependencyObject, ByVal args As DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs)
Dim objectType As Type = TryCast(args.NewValue, Type)

I have two classes, one nested in the other. [code]Neither "Name" or "ID" are unique between operations and records.I wish to construct a dictionary using LINQ = Dictionary(Of String, Of List(Of Integer), whereby the keys are uniqe examples of Names in my collection and the values are the collective set of distinct IDs that are associated with those names.

How can I structure my classes so that the user interfaces though a single class while the supporting classes are hidden from their view? I think its best understood in an example:
Public Class MyInterface
Public Economic as EconomicClass
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
[code].....
So you might ask why am I even separating them? It's strictly for others who will be working with this interface. I need to funnel them though a logical structure:
interface.Economic.MyMethod
interface.Currency.MyMethod
etc
This way everything is already handled for them in the background and they only need to run the method they need. I don't know if I can have it both ways in VB.NET.

I'm trying out MVVM in VB.Net for a while now and started out with some of my entities using List(of T)s, which I xml serialized to disk. Now, I updated the classes used by the Lists to implement INotifyPropertyChanged so I also changed the List(of T)s to ObservableCollection(of T)s.After which, the XML serializer stopped working :'( A colleague told me that ObservableCollections, unlike generic Lists, are not serializable.If so then how can I make them Serializable?

I'm not positive I'm going about this the right way. I've got a suite of applications that have varying types of output (custom defined types).For example, I might have a type called Widget:
Class Widget
Public name as String
End Class
Throughout the course of operation, when a user experiences a certain condition, the application will take that output instance of widget that user received, serialize it, and log it to the database noting the name of the type.
Now, I have other applications that do something similar, but instead of dealing with Widget, it could be some totally random other type with different attributes, but again I serialize the instance, log it to the db, and note the name of the type. I have maybe a half dozen different types and don't anticipate too many additional ones in the future.
After all this is said and done, I have an admin interface that looks through these logs, and has the ability for the user to view the contents of this data thats been logged. The Admin app has a reference to all the types involved, and with some basic switch case logic hinged upon the name of the type, will cast it into their original types, and pass it on to some handlers that have basic display logic to spit the data back out in a readable format (one display handler for each type)NOW... all this is well and good...Until one day, my model changed. The Widget class now has deprecated the name attribute and added on a bunch of other attributes. I will of course get type mismatches in the admin side when I try to reconstitute this data.
I was wondering if there was some way, at runtime, i could perhaps reflect through my code and get a snapshot of the type definition at that precise moment, serialize it, and store it along with the data so that I could somehow use this to reconstitute it in the future?

Possible Duplicate: Fastest serializer and deserializer with lowest memory footprint in C#?
I'm using BinaryFormatter class to serialize an structure or a class. (after serialization, I'm going to encrypt the serialized file before saving. (And of course decrypt it before deserialization))But I heard that some other serialization classes are present in .Net Framework. Like XmlSerializer, JavaScriptSerializer, DataContractSerializer and protobuf-net.I want to know, which one is best for me?Less RAM space needed for serialize/deserialize is the most important thing for me. Also speed is important.
