I am working on a lottery application for homework. I am trying to have the Compare function return a number. I want to know how many numbers matched. I don't think that I am moving the random numbers into my lottery array in the correct place.

'Array to hold user numbers.

Just so it's known, this question is mostly academic, even though I tried to use the concept in a real-world solution. I realize the example is contrived, but I believe the concept is valid.I want to write some fluent code like this:
[code]...
I realize that I can't force an anonymous type into a specific type (like implementing an interface or some other class), and I don't want the overhead of defining a specific class just to match my desired fluent name with the actual method name. So I was able to make the code work like this:
copy(my_first_file).to.Invoke(my_second_file)So there is no IntelliSense or type awareness there, and I have to include the Invoke in order to have the method run. How can I get more type safety and exclude the Invoke method, under these constraints: Anonymous Type returned from Method No additional classes or interfaces Preferably, I do not want to pass in another parameter to the copy() method that tells what type to return, unless copy becomes a generic method (but I think that means defining another class/interface, which I don't want to do)

My question is whenever I compare "alt+ctrl+w" with "alt+ctrl+W" it tells me that both the strings are the same, but as you can see that both of these strings are not equal because it got small 'w' and the other one is 'W', how come both of these strings are equal?
I have 2 tables
First table contains
ID and Name
1 X
2 Y
3 Z
Second table contains dates. That my employees exit time
Id and Hour
1 17:00
5 17:01
6 17:02
7 17:05
Now I want to compare 2 tables and find who is ID number 1 ? How can I do this?
When Score exam is clicked, the answers from the keys file is read using ReadLine method 6 times to fill the Answer Array. then the users' answers and the answers from the keys will be paired up by calling "Compare_Answers" function in the RMV Global Module. and calculate the score and it will show on the main form.

The Funtion ZZNull always returns Nothing, so IsNothing(d) in the calling method should evaluate to True.
But it does not !
When you run these lines, then you will see that IsNothing(d) evaluates to False

So the program I am writing validates the controls on the page on button_click.
I want to write a function which checks which step the program is at (0-7) then return something depending on whether or not it validated.
My plan was to return the control which was not valid.
Private Function ValidateInputs() As Control
Select Case wizardStep
Case 0
[Code].....
1. could I return the names off all the controls which did not validate?
2. should I be returning a control type or would something like a string be better?

I've created my own version of HexToDec() to properly handle the negative flag. I saw other versions online that used "Not(value)" to do the Pos/Neg inversion, but that does not generate the proper value... No, it's not the most elegant my any means. But I couldn't find anything online that actually worked.
Long story short, I want to return NaN in the case that the function is passed a string that is not a valid hex string...
How do I do that? Everything I've tried generates a compiler error... (assign return value to double.nan, assign return value to non-numeric, etc)
Existing function is below:
Function HexToDec(ByVal hexStr As String, Optional ByVal signed As Boolean = False) As Long

I've create a new project, and set treat all warnings as errors in the compile tab.All the other warnings seem to be treated as errors, except the one which I'm interested in "Function/Operator without return value".I have a simple function within a class, which does not show an error if I do not add a return statement to that function. I have read in many places that VB.Net returns a "hidden" default value if the returns statement is forgotten.My software went out to production where an overloaded function was missing a return statement, which wasn't highlighted due to the above.

warnings got me thinking about old issues that always goofed me up when I was writing more VB.NET code.One of them was the fact that the compiler didn't warn if you declared a Function but never did an explicit Return statement or assign to the Function name. Running Visual Studio 2008, I just made a small experimental project, and it seems as though the behavior has never been fixed.I created a Visual Basic Console application, with the following code:
Module MainModule
Sub Main()
Dim test As Boolean = TestWarning()[code].....
I also went into the Project Settings and turned On Option Strict and Option Explicit.I also set the Warning Configurations so that "Function/Operator with no return value" was set to Error.I compiled the project and got no warning, and no error on the TestWarning() Function. This seems like a great place to put a warning, because it will default to False, and you may have simply forgotten to do a return. C# will error without a return statement. I thought that VB.NET did the same thing with the "Function/Operator with no return value" configuration. Is this a bug, or is there something I'm missing?
Edit: Further Experimentation
Function TestWarning() As Boolean
If DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Monday Then
Return False[code].....
If, and nothing in the Else, there is also no Warning/Error. It will simply take the default, even though you likely intended (via programming style) to have an explicit return. In this case, I explicitly returned False (which is the default for Boolean), so it's likely a hidden bug that I should have returned True in the Else.
I have a class in this class i call a function which should return some string the class connects to an ftp server and list the directory and returns the filenames of the dir.

Dim oFTP As FtpWebRequest = CType(FtpWebRequest.Create(host & currentdirectory),

So this should return all filenames of that directory

I have a function that returns a double. If in the function I decide the value is invalid, is there any way to return "error" instead of a double? Of course I could pass a boolean by reference and set it false and then check for that back in the calling function, but that seems awkward.
