Hide/shadow A Framework Method?

Dec 6, 2010

I would like to make sure that certain properties/methods of native framework methods are not called in a project I'm working on. I want to use custom methods instead, and make sure that those methods are always used. How would I do that?

These are the details:

In a rather large web project, we have several pieces of code creating and sending email messages using the MailMessage object. I want to perform some additional checking, logging etc whenever an email address is added to either the To, CC or BCC MailAddressCollection
of a MailMessage object. Basically I'd like to make sure that it is not possible, in this entire Solution, to do this: MyMailObject.To.Add(something@somwhere.com), and the same for "CC" and "BCC".

First, I thought about not using the MailMessage object at all, but inherit it and override the methods that allow adding of addresses. I ran into some trouble though when trying to shadow the "To" property, since "To" is a reserved word... And then I realized that it probably wouldn't solve my problem entirely anyway, since there would be nothing stopping another developer (or myself being stupid) from creating an instance of the original MailMessage class and use it at will.

I have successfully created a method which centralizes all the adding of various recipient addresses, but I can't figure out how to prevent the original methods from being used by mistake.

VS 2005 Hide/shadow MyBase's Properties?

Nov 9, 2009

Is there any ways to hide/shadow MyBase's properties?

Such as MyBase.Location, MyBase.Font?

When I try to declare a local "Height" properly, VS prompts me warning to use "Overloads" instead. But when in form designer/control test run, I still see this property, or any other properties (BorderStyle) which I tried to hide.

Using Hide Method To MainForm?

Jan 15, 2010

I'm trying to go to a different form my main form and while I'm using the selected form I want the MainForm to hide. I've put the code MainForm.Hide() at the top of the code of the JobInformationForm where I'm directing the program. I thought this would cause the MainForm window to hide. However, I'm getting an error saying Declaration is Expected. How do I use this MainForm.Hide() feature?

Hide A Method In An Inherited Class?

Feb 13, 2010

Is there a way to hide a method of a base class that has been inherited?Lets say the base class has the properties:

x
y
Height
Width

and the method

sub SpecialInstructions()

Now this class is inherited by some classes that either use the SpecialInstructions method or override it. But one class inherits it but cant make use of the method and therefore wants to hide it. I tried shadowing but it still seems that the method is visible ex

Hide A Method/property For Intellisense?

Sep 28, 2009

I have a Class A that inherits from a base class. In the class A i have build some methods/properties.What I want is that some methods/properties from the base class are not visible in the intellisense which makes it easier for a developer. Basically i want to hide all the methods/functions/etc.. which are no use.Is this possible whithout having to use the EditorBrowsableAttribute for every item?The best way would be to tell the class that it must hide all props/methods/functions/etc... and after that i can specify which MUST be visible.

'by default hide all props/functions/etc.... ????

Me.Hide() Method In Form Loading Event

Mar 18, 2011

Why do Me.Hide() And me.visible do nothing under form loading event? Now the obvious answer to me was because how could you call a form to hide if it has not loaded. Make's sense to me. So i checked the documentation to see what options i had. If the form isn't loaded when the Hide method is invoked, the Hide method loads the form but doesn't display it. Interesting. So from what i gather here me.hide should still hide the form. Or have i misinterpreted the documentation? Because the form does still display. Neither also work under Public Sub New().

The only solution i found was under sub new was to change the forms opacity to nothing. Which works fine. But after reading the documentation on Opacity i am still left with another question regarding "Visible vs Hide Vs Opacity" Calling me.hide makes the forms visible property false, Calling opacity set to Nothing makes the form in visible. Both these methods do the required task but does one take up more memory or should be favored over the other? Just because some thing work's i have learned it is not always necessarily the best way to do something.

Shadow/override An Event?

Nov 25, 2009

I would like to shadow/override an event in VB.NET. I do it only because I have to implement in this object an interface, that contains the same event like the base object itself, and I need to keep this base event as is it without modification nor supplementary event additions.How can I do it?

Hide/Show Items - Possible To Hide A Group Of Text Boxes From View In A Form

May 5, 2012

I'm curious if it is possible to hide a group of text boxes from view in a form until a particular condition is met, and to have a custom set of text boxes for that condition. To give an example; I want radio buttons offering choices for a manner of searching records, the user selects one and then a specific set of text boxes are displayed for the user to utilize, if a different option is chosen a different set of text boxes will be shown. Is this something that can be done?

Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) Class?

May 9, 2009

I am looking for a way to create Volume Shadow Copies of individual files. I have searched accross the net now for classes and code to use but I haven't been able to find anything. I'm only really starting out in .NET and C#, C++ or any other language for that matter are completely alien to me. Everything I've found on the subject, even from Microsoft VSS SDK is either in C# or in C++. I don't want to use any external programs, everything must run from the single exe file.

Target End Result:

I'd like a file at "\global\class\VSSClass.vb" that houses all the code needed.

Public objVSSClassObject As New VSSClass

For in-line code I'd like it as streamined as possible as it will be used with arrays of pre-set filenames.

objVSSClassObject.CopyFile(srcFile, dstDirectory)

Here's a sample of how the code would be used.

Public VSS As New VSSClass
Dim dstDirectory = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop & "\Shadow Files"
Dim FilesArray() As String = {"absolute_path_to_file1.txt", _

.net - Remove Selected LineShape Shadow Effect?

Mar 23, 2010

Is there a way to remove the LineShape shadow effect when selecting the lineShape? I tried

Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs)
Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics
g.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias
Dim oldmode As SmoothingMode = g.SmoothingMode
g.DrawLine(_Pen, X1, Y1, X2, Y2)
g.SmoothingMode = oldmode
End Sub

but finally, this have some back effects on invalidation: when moving (in a panel) the line leave traces - does not invalidate properly.

Skin My Form - Shadow Edges Are Choppy

Nov 23, 2009

I tried to skin my application and failed. I can get it to work if I don�t have semi transparent pixels on the outside of my form. But I want to use a skin I found on Deviant art that was made for Miranda. It is really nice but and it has a shadow around it. To get it to work in vb.net (I�m using 2005 btw) I have to fill around the main picture and take out the initializing (I think that is what it is called). But then the form�s edges are choppy. How does Miranda allow the shadows but I can�t in vb.net?

I first tried to do it the easy way. I set up some transparent panels with transparent pictureboxes in them and put my corners and middle fills as the backgrounds. I made the form with no border and set the transparent key to transparent. That didn�t work, so I made the form magenta and the transparent key magenta. The outside of the for where the shadow is was drawn on the magenta and the magenta bled through. So I edited the png�s to be magenta all around the form (eliminating the shadows) and it worked, but the corners were choppy.

Then tried some code I found on the net that tried to make a new control as a transparent panel. It was overriding the paint events and drawing to an off screen bitmap. I really didn't understand it and it just showed up as a blank screen. There has to be a way to do this.

Create An Image With Drop Shadow On Text Programatically?

Nov 1, 2010

I'm currently building an intranet engine for a project I've got on the go at the moment,and I'd like to save myself a little time by generating header images from code where possible, however, I'd like it to match our concept image.What I'd like to achieve is below:My issue is I've not the faintest how to create that from code. I can do the absolute basics but that's about it.I start to fall down when it comes to the gradient background and the drop shadow on the text. I can get away with positioning the text on the larger header image, so if it's not possible to generate the exact gradient I have there, then I have a work around for that, but what I really want to achieve is the text with the font and drop shadow.
