Error "DirectCast(err, SetupApiError) = InWow64 {-536870347}"
Nov 30, 2011
why i get the error "DirectCast(err, SetupApiError) = InWow64 {-536870347}" when running the code below? i get this error when it calls the SetupDiCallClassInstaller method on the line: Case SetupApiError.NoAssociatedClass To SetupApiError.OnlyValidateViaAuthenticode Throw New Win32Exception("SetupAPI error: " & DirectCast(err, SetupApiError).ToString)
Dim result As Boolean = SetupDiSetClassInstallParams(handle, diData, params, Marshal.SizeOf(params))
If result = False Then Throw New Win32Exception
result = SetupDiCallClassInstaller(DiFunction.PropertyChange, handle, diData)

Does C# have an equivalent to VB.Net's DirectCast?I am aware that it has () casts and the 'as' keyword, but those line up to CType and TryCast.To be clear, these keywords do the following;CType/() casts: If it is already the correct type, cast it, otherwise look for a type converter and invoke it. If no type converter is found, throw an InvalidCastException.
TryCast/"as" keyword: If it is the correct type, cast it, otherwise return null.DirectCast: If it is the correct type, cast it, otherwise throw an InvalidCastException.
EDIT: After I have spelled out the above, some people have still responded that () is equivalent, so I will expand further upon why this is not true.
DirectCast only allows for either Narrowing or Widening conversions on inheritance tree, it does not support conversions across different branches like () does.ie: C#, this compiles and runs:
//This code uses a type converter to go across an inheritance tree
double d = 10;
int i = (int)d;

I learned how to use DirectCast over the last few days and it's really helped me. However, I have a similar issue, instead of textboxes I am looking at variables that are referenced in the class.To bring you all up to speed, I have four variables, a Boolean that dictates each of the 4 players I have playing my game. [code] I would assume it'd work similar to DirectCast but I am unsure. What I came up with caused errors: [code]

I am an experienced C/C++/C# programmer who has just gotten into VB.NET. I generally use CType (and CInt, CBool, CStr) for casts because it is less characters and was the first way of casting which I was exposed to, but I am aware of DirectCast and TryCast as well. Simply, are there any differences (effect of cast, performance, etc.) between DirectCast and CType? I understand the idea of TryCast.

I have an SQL query that gets a max value so that I can decide the next value to use in an ID field. The code works fine when there's a matching result, but if the query returns Null, it throws a Specified Cast is Invalid error.This is the code I'm using:
LastID = DirectCast(SQLQuery.ExecuteScalar(), Integer)
What would be the proper way to check for a null value?
I suspect this is going to be one of those cases where within 2 minutes of posting myquestion, I finally hit upon the right combination of terms in Google to find what I'm looking for...

I usually avoid VB's built-in conversion functions (CStr, CDate, CBool, CInt, etc.) unless I need to do an actual conversion. If I'm just casting, say from an object to a string, I normally use either DirectCast or TryCast, under the assumption that CStr, etc., are doing some extra stuff I don't need. But sometimes the DirectCast syntax is a little cumbersome, as in the following example.[code]SqlDataReader.Item returns an Object, which needs to be cast to a String. CStr is easier to read, type, and explain (IMO). My question is, does it matter which one I use? Should I just go with CStr (and CDate and CBool, etc.) and not worry about the extra work I assume those functions are doing? Is there any other downside to using these functions?

I was wondering if there was anyway for me to get the string value of a point variable so that I can compare it. I tried to do something like:

I turned option strict on, wich gave me some errors. The errors are quite easy to fix, but it seems like there are several ways of doing things. [code] 'previoustime' is declared as a TimeSpan, and the column "sluttid" is defined as a TimeSpan-column.Now, as far as I know, there are two ways of solving this; using CType and using DirectCast, like this: [code]

I find this behavior of TryCast in .NET 4.0 / VS 2010 rather confusing. In my understanding TryCast works like DirectCast, but will return Nothing instead of throwing an exception if a cast is not possible. VS 2010 / .NET 4

Ever since I moved from VB6 to VB.NET somewhere in 2005, I've been using CType to do casting from one data type to another. I do this because it is simply faster to type, used to exist in VB6 and I do not know why I have to be using DirectCast if there is apparently no difference between them.I use TryCast once in a while because I understand that sometimes casting can fail. I however cannot get the difference between CType and DirectCast.

I'm helping a colleague develop a "catch all" type error handler for some controls his application. What he wants to do is pass the object that has the error, and the type of that object, such a TextBox or ComboBox, and then call the DirectCast method within his handler to properly address the Text attribute within it. In general, the method is looking like this:
Protected Sub SpecialErrorHandler(ByVal TargetControl As Object, ByVal ControlType As String)
MessageBox.Show("Bad Juice: " & DirectCast(TargetControl, ControlType(ObjType)).Text)
End Sub
So far any attempts to do a type conversion within the DirectCast method (since it is expecting an object in the general signature) or to even pass in the a Type object properly set is not working.
Any ideas here, or is this one of those "Casting doesn't work that way." type scenarios?

How come this is not a valid DirectCast:

ByVal B As DataTree(Of T1))
Dim val_A As T1 = DirectCast(A.FirstItem, T1)

When I deployed my project on a server, in certain circumstances, I get an error page that indicates I should create a custom error page. I was wondering how exactly I would implement this custom error page the server asks for to give me a precise and helpful message or preferably, how I would get the error to just display on the main page?This is the error message I got below
Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuration>
<system.web>
[code]....
Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

This error first appear to occur randomly. Steps to recreate:Open Visual Studio and load a solution (some files automatically opened) - this is when the problem occurs Close all open files Restart visual studio and load solution (no issues)Open Exactly the same files again, restart visual studio and load solution so files open automatically (problem occurs!)
However, when trying to narrow it down to a single file (that is automatically opened when the solution is loaded), I couldn't reproduce the problem. Now with all the files open again the problem doesn't occur!!! So it looks like it is fixed - though this happened before and eventually the issue came back.
I think it is to do with one of the user controls with DevExpress controls on it - when the error occurs, the designer displays the error. Though I can't reproduce it at the moment to confirm that.

I got a serious problem. Though I have made my program newly it shows error. I have used 1280,1024 animation only for first form then used 1280,1024 image for every form. Today I was checking then it was showing me error message for 19th & 20th form. If I use On Error Resume Next then it shows error for another form ; if I use same code there in the menu item I mean so that I can get rid of error when I click to show a form it shows another error. First error message is "InvalidOperationException was unhandeled An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is parameter is not valid." and second error is "OutofMemoryException was unhandled Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown". I have noticed it that it doesnt show error message for those form which have few labels and text boxes. It shows error message for those forms which have 1 menu bar, 2 picture boxes(one is 1280,1024 & another is 250,456), 2 group boxes, 40 labels, 3 combo boxes, 38 text boxes & three buttons. Please help me I need to get rid of this problem. Does it mean that I cant use unlimited control there in my form?

I have the following Stored Procedures create or replace PROCEDURE WEB_AC
[Code]...
First one: At some point in the application I have the valor parameter (of the visual Basic Function) as a string with spaces that is something like "some string with spaces". When this happens, the stored procedure don't update the table. If I execute the SP directly in the DB (with SQL Developer) all works fine. I know it has something to do with the string missing some quotes(') but I haven't make it work yet. Some ideas on this?
Second problem: Sometimes, when debuging the application, if I interrupt the execution, I start getting the ORA-24338 'statement handle not executed' error for hours every time I try to execute it again. I believe it has something to do with an open transaction. But honestly, as I'm new in working with Oracle, I really have no idea what the problem could be.
