Get Name Of Class Without Instantiating Object Or Having A Static Method?
Feb 22, 2011
I hate to see the name of the class used as a string parameter like "FileDownloader" in the code, and I would like to use something like this FileDownloader.Name(), where FileDownloader is name of the class.Only problem is that I can't find out how to do that without instantiating object or creating a static method..Is there a way to get a class name in .net without having the object instance and without creating a static method that returns the name of the class?

Is it possible to instantiate a new class object within a Form Procedure where it is accessible to all other Procedures/Functions within the Form Module? For example, I have a Client Class Module that contains properties and Methods that reflect a Client DB Table. All the properties and Methods within this class are Public. So, when I instantiate a new instance within a Procedure, I declare it as such:
Private Sub cmdNewClient_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdNewClient.Click
Try
Dim client as New clsClient
[code]....
Normally, I would declare a new instance of this Class Object at the beginning of a Form Module. I'm trying to do this in order to have more control.

When an instantiated class calls a method in the parent form class, VB.NET starts a new instance of the form class instead of calling the method on to the active one.How do I tell it that I have just one instance of my form class, or that I don't want to create a new instance of the form and just call the method on the already active form?

I have a C# dll and want to use it in VB.NET. I'm using C# 2008 Express and VB 2008 Express. I have added a reference in a VB project to the C# dll. When I create an instane of a class in the C# dll, it gives the following error messsage: "Type 'RF.RabinFingerprint' has no constructors". My C# dll code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;

I have some files in vb.net that have "Option Strict Off" to allow for bad programming. When I convert to c# I use "dynamic" until I come back and fix problems, and this works in all cases But now I have this code:
Public Class ContractResults
'Big class definition
Public Shared Sub CleanCache()
[code].....
And in a file with Option Strict Off:
Public Sub VerifyResults(result as Object)
'Here, result is normally ContractResults
'first it check for that then call this:
result.CleanCache()
End Sub
In c# I use "dynamic", but a runtime error pops up when I call "static" method with dynamic reference. In vb.net, I can called "shared" sub from instance, but in c# this is not allowed
Exception:
"Microsoft.CSharp.RuntimeBinder.RuntimeBinderException"
"Member 'ContractTypes.ContractResults.CleanCache()' cannot be accessed with an instance reference; qualify it with a type name instead"
It seems I must convert code to use actual type, but then this means much rewriting of more parts. Is anyone able to show another way?I want to make sure you do not think I can use (result as ContractResults).CleanCache();Because all types that may be passed in have "CleanCache()" method, but do not inherits from anything the same other than "Object". There are many types (30!) that have this "static" method and so that is why it uses Option Strict Off?

Under Visual Basic 2010, I am trying to define a specific instance of a static method that was created as a Java class. I have a vendor supplied dll added in as a reference.[code]...
But, I can't seem to define a specific instance of this method. Using "IntegrationMethod.getIntegrationMode()"always returns a value of zero.
There doesn't appear to be any way to "setIntegrationMode" to a specific value.
The documentatoin for this Class as provided by the vendor are shown below.
When I asked the vendor for assistance, their response was: "
Our javadocs for the IntegrationMethod class show that we provide three predefined instances of the IntegrationMethod class[code]...

I am in the middle of (trying) to create a Class Library available for use in VB6/VBA. With some assistance received here I have now done the following:Created a Class Library Project in Visual Studio 2010 Express and put the code in a Class Module.Learned I needed this wonderful thing called an "Interface"... Made one of those:)I opened the project properties and went to "Assembly Information" and checked "Make COM Visible".I went to "Advanced Compile" options and targeted .Net 2.0 (it's very simple code).Removed all references expect for "System".Built the project (no warnings or errors) and copied the DLL out of the Bin folder into C:WindowsSystem32 Ran RegAsm /tlb. Everything seemes just fine.I popped open excel to run a quickie test and the TLB is available but I have two problems:
I can see both the class and the interface in the Object Browser/Intellisense.When I try to create an instance of either object (Set obj = New MyObj)I get the error:I can set a reference to the Object and the Intellisense can see it, I just get that error when I actually try to create the Object. Did I miss a step?

Instatiating a Class using a name in a String?
I have two projects as part of my solution:
Project: Font End
Project: Control Classes
In my front end project i have a string list of all the control classes. I need to instantiate the class into an object using the string name. How can I do this? The class must be of the right type and not just object?

#1 is C# Class Library, where I have my EF model defined (3.5 sp1) and some public methods.#2 is a VB winforms app.In the winforms app, I have referenced the C# library and added the connection string for the EF model. The problem I am having is that I have a form where the user selected a .txt file to import. On the VB side, I create a byte() from the file, then pass it to a public method cleverly called Process. In Process(), everything runs smoothly until I instantiate the EF model.

I want a string and a listbox, both which are in a form to be modified by an instance of a class method. Should (could I):
1. Pass the entire form to the class method as parameter.
2. Pass the listbox and the string to the method as parameters.
What's the best approach to get access and modify this string and listbox on the form.

I'm creating a Shared (static) method in ASP.NET MVC so it can be used by any controller in my project. This static method needs to generate a URL. I think I need to use System.Web.Mvc.UrlHelper, but I can't figure out how to call it from within a static method.The constructor seems to want a RequestContext.

I've got an .aspx page with this in it:
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Web.Mvc" %>
<%= AssetController.ScriptTag("/js/Community/CommunityWizard.js")%>
And I have an AssetController class:
Imports System.Web.Mvc
Public Class AssetController
Inherits Controller
[Code]...
What gives? I don't understand why I can use this controller everywhere in our ASP.NET Forms/MVC hybrid application, but not in a view.
EDIT: In fact, when I type <% System.Web. into the .aspx view, Mvc doesn't even appear in Intellisense!

In Visual Studio 2010, create a VB.net Windows Forms App. Add 2 forms: Form1 and Form2. In the Form1 Load event type Form2.Close(). Now if we look in the method definition Close() is not a static (shared) method. So how is this possible to compile or to work at run time.
Furthermore, do the same thing in C# and Form2.Close(); doesn't compile.
What's going on? Why is this possible in VB.net and what is actually happening when that line of code is executed?

Is it possible to prohibit an instance of a class from calling a shared/static method?
For example:
I want to allow this:
ClassName.MethodOne()
But I want to disallow this:
Dim A As New ClassName
A.MethodOne()
The reason this is desirable is that in this case it is semantically confusing if an instance can call the method.

I've got a shared class (static in C#) which mostly carries some settings data that any class in the application can read and sometimes write. Also there are some static properties which holds some internal states.
Now I want to revert this class to initial stage of it. With all default variables etc. Assume that the user want to reset the current state and start over without restarting the application.
In a singleton model I'd simply renew it with something like this :
Public Sub Reset()
_Instance = New MyClass()
End Sub
However this is not possible in a Shared class. Or should I switch back to Singleton?

This questions is for VBers, it's irrelevant in C#.
In VB, when you create a module, all it's fucntions and members are available in the scope without need to type the module name, just like all the VB functions (Rnd, Mid, IIf etc.).
I want to create a module but I should have to explicitly write it's name to access it's members, i.e. it shouldn't be loaded to the scope like a namespace.
Update
For example, I have a Module of extension methods, I don't want all it's members to show up on the scope and in the intellisense.
I want it to be available only by instance.ExtensionMethod().

Suppose we have a class like:
Public Class Question
Private Shared _field as Integer = CrazyIntegersRepository.GetOne()
' Some other useful things go here
End Class
And the method GetOne throws an exception... How can we manage that? Is a good practice to rewrite that into a static constructor? When is the GetOne method going to be executed if we leave it there in the inline _field declaration?

I need a static variable to get a ListItemCollection from a List control (I can do this, but if I don't set it as Shared It's not preserving the values as it should). The thing is that this class is a SharePoint webpart, so I most probably will be using the webpart more than once, and I need this variable to be unique to each webpart, which shared doesn't accomplish.I tried everything you can imagine. I placed a Static variable within a Sub (shared and not shared), I tried it with Properties (also Shared and not shared)...
