I have a VB.NET web app that is about 2000 lines of code, contains about 20 different subroutines, and about 50 different functions.Is there an easy way to "rewrite" this to take advantage of classes and objects?

Lets say I have 30 text fields in a Frame on my form, and I want to set them all to disable (so users can't edit them).Is there an easy way to walk through those fields without having to create an array of text fields?
I.E., in ... VB 6, with an array of text fields, I can do something like this:
For i = 0 to 10
txtfield(x).enabled = true.
Next i
Is there something in VB.NET where I won't have to use an array of controls, something like this (assuming all txt fields are in a frame):

I have an error while using a collection that has been stumping me for years.I wrote a class to allow users to write equations in a txt file using RPN (stack based notation).The class runs through a select statement while reading the equation and then ends up with a final number as the answer. I have a collection to place these objects in for easy reference. For whatever reason I get random object reference not set to an instance of an object errors when there is nothing in the program that would remove objects from the collection, kill objects, or change the collection in any way. It is possible for one thread to call the calculate function while another thread calls the CurrentValue property. I'm not sure if this could be causing the error, but once it happens I get an error every time the program enters that code until I run out of memory.

I have a nested class, let's call it class1 and it has class2 inside it; VB.Net eg:[code]
1) How can I define X number of Class2 objects[let's call it: Node(x) array]** with NEW() subroutine called?' this raises error: dim cls2(n) as new class2 end sub.
2) How can I return actual number of Node() array? [code]Outside my class in main project I define cls1 object:[code]Now an array of class2 is created inside cls1.
3) Now,How can I access All of them[node(x) array which is created inside cls1] with all properties and methods available?
I remember I wrote a ProcessManager class with this functionality in .net 2003, nearly 4 years age, I don't have the code now.
The 1st part of the code required me to write a class definition for a class(Worker). The class should include Private variables and Property procedures for a worker object's name and salary.
The salary may contain a decimal place. The class should also contain two constructors:a default and a parameterized.
The second part for the code indicates that I need add a method named GetNewSalary to the Worker class.The method should calculate a Worker objects new salary, which is based on a raise percentage provided by the application using the object.
Before calculating the new salary, the method should verify that the raise percentage is greater than or equal to zero. If the raise percentage is less than zero the method should assign the number zero as the new salary
There are three text boxes which allows the user to enter the employees name current salary and raise percentage....the calculate button will display the new salary in the new salary label box...so far here is what I have for the worker class.
The Class for the code had to be written from scratch. Can you please look over the class code and see if I need to chang anything....that will allow the program to run.[code...]
In ASP.NET I have a form that has a Textbox named txtOutput and a button. In the main file.aspx.vb I can call a function from the button handler and in that function I can have [code]I have a bunch of functions in several other classes. For instance I have a class named AbleCommerce that does some database functions. These functions are called from my main class. In those functions, however, I have no visibility of txtOutput.All of my classes are, unfortunately, in the default namespace which I understand is not optimal but didn't seem to impact this issue.
View 2 Repliessuppose I have a collection of objects of different classes (like controls in a form), and all of their classes have a MyMethod extension method. How do I have the appropriatemethod be called for each object, depending on its type?or example,

1) Add a Private variable named _area2) Associate the _area variable with a Property procedure called Area3) Change the CalculateArea method to a Sub procedure. The method should calculate the area and then assign the result to the _area variable.4) Include a parameterized constructor in the class. The constructor should accept one argument: the side measurement. After using the Public property to initialize the Private variable, the constructor should automatically call the CalculateArea method.At this point I believe I've completed the first 2 steps for the Square method, but I'm not sure where to go from therHere is my code for the Square class and the Main Form, in tha order:
Public Class Square
Private _side As Integer
Private _area As Integer

Pursuing the Microsoft Certified Professional Developer Certification and working through the training kit.I've programmed for a while and mainly used classes as my objects.The training certification book I'm working through has a section on structures. they look very similiar to classes so my question is: why use them? Do they offer something that creating a class doesn't? What's the difference between structures and classes?
View 8 RepliesI've been trying to understand classes and objects. Yes, I'm thick headed and slow, but I made the decision to go to .Net and I am determined to improve my coding skills to be more efficient. I have spoken to Atma several times on the topic and read most of his posts concerning classes and objects, but still came away a little baffled (He's really advanced for me yet). I needed a simplistic analogy for a reference point to begin understanding. I was reading about OOP written by MikeJ in the following thread/post ...[URL] and it all started to become clear in this statement , but I would like some reassurance that I'm getting it ..."A car IS-A vehicle, while a dog HAS-A tail. The car would be an object declared as type Vehicle, while the dog would have a member that IS-A tail. However, Fido IS-A dog. The dog class is the base template for all dog objects, so when we declare Fido as a dog, Fido is an object. Since Fido IS-A dog, Fido HAS-A tail."
From this I have taken the following understanding...
Vehicle ... ' Class
Car ....... ' Object
Truck ... ' Object
Van ....... ' Object
And from that can I infer that this is true?
Dog ....... ' Class
Fido ... ' Object
Tail .. ' Member of Fido
So to apply this to a program I wrote recently that tracks Generator service...
Generator ' Would be the class
Brand X ' Would be an object
Spark Plug ' Would be a member
Gas Tank ' Would be a member
Brand Y ' Would be an object
Brand Z ' Would be an object
This statement also helped ...
""Class" and "object" are sometimes used interchangeably. However, classes describe the structure of objects, while objects are instances of classes. Each instance is an exact copy of its base class. Because an object is an "instance" of a class, the act of creating an object is called instantiation. To describe it better, a class is a blueprint, and an object is a building based on that blueprint". I can understand this (I think) and it refers to a basic template such as ..."Generator" (my class or blueprint or template) Generators have an engine, powerplant, fuel tank, etc. These are basic requirements to be a generator. (Template or Blueprint) They can differ by Brand of engine, Size of powerplant, and type of fuel used. (Based on template or blueprint) Do I have it down now? MikeJ also made this statement ..."you can't access certain types of class members from outside of the class itself." From this I assume you would need to assign a Global variable the value of the class member if you needed to use it outside of the class?

I have a Clients master object and then a number of child objects whose exact number is not known in advance such as Client-Contacts, Client-Payments etc, all of which have a one-to-many relationship with the Client master object.How do I define classes for such a scenario? Do I for instance create the master Clients class and can then I create an array of class somehow for child objects?

I must admit, I was pretty much like a sheep and was following what others have done before me. I thought the prefix did not look right and then to have it twice did not make sense either. After looking at a couple of .NET Framework examples, it looks like this would be closer to the standard.
