I'm sure I need to do a for each <something> in my something..but I cant figure out what..I kinda want to make a trace program for my structure so I can loop through and split out the name and the value in it..
View 12 RepliesI have inherited some god awful vb.net code and having trouble trying to work out the generics for looping through the current structure in place.
here is a snippet of the struct
Public Structure ApplicationDetails
Dim ID As Integer
Dim AgentID As Integer
[Code]...
but i am not sure on the syntax to set the value and when trying to get the type i get item.GetTYpe() is not declared.
how to make a new structure somewhat, but what I need to know is how I can do something like, GetItemByName without having to do a loop when I have a list of my structure type. What I mean by this is if I had a structure like this:
[Code]...
Module Module1
Public Structure structure1
Public TRANS() As structure2
End Structure
Public Structure structure2
Public X() As Integer
End Structure
End Module
I'm new to VB 2008 after having spent a long time with VB6, so I apologize if this is a stupid question. But I'd really like to have this straightened out.
Let's say I have a pretty large structure that has lots of properties.
Code:
Now say that I want an internal database with about 10 instances of this structure total, describing, say, 10 different products that a store sells. When these values are loaded from a database, they remain totally static. (However, they can be different each time a program loads)
Now say that I have a class. Each instance of this class is a type of that BaseProduct structure. Meaning, each instance of the class pertains to one of the 10 types of products that the store sells. However, this class has additional properties that pertain specifically to each instance, which are not static.
Code:
Now, the problem here is... If I have 200 different transactions, each one contains an instance of BaseProduct. BaseProduct is HUGE, and is largely redundant (only 10 types possible), so I think it's a little silly to include a whole copy of it with EVERY transaction. However, the Transaction class really needs information regarding the base product it pertains to. Is there a way to, instead of declaring a New BaseProduct in the Transaction class, to simply make one of the properties of the Transaction class a pointer to a BaseProduct variable?
In VB6, I would accomplish this by making a BaseProduct(10) array, and then giving each Transaction an ID number referring to an entry in that array. But in VB 2008, using class structure, this is impossible. I can't define the BaseProduct(10) array outside of a class in a namespace, and if I define it in the actual application's form, then the class loses modularity since it relies on the application that's using it.
I am trying to communicate with an external device and i am trying to send a byte array to the external device via sockets but i am always getting a response the message size is too small so i am not sure what i have done wrong. Between the data type there should be no alignment present and all numbers are represented in little endian format. The char array is not null terminated as mentioned in the protocol specifications.
I have to send data based on a struct that embeds 2 other struct. So here's my vb.net code for the struct used to convert to byte array and the sending part.
Public Structure MESSAGETYPE_OIP_Login
Dim Header() As COMMANDHEADER
Dim UserName() As PSTRING

I'm experiencing a problem with the following c-structure:

The Marshal.SizeOf obviously calculates a size of 76 and it works with the DLL function, but it leaves me with some bad feelings.
I'm having a problem that's driving me crazy; I can't understand how to convert the XML structure into a class structure (that I want to use to hydrate a XML document).
The XML document looks like this:
xml

<artists xmlns:opensearch="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/" xmlns="http://www.spotify.com/ns/music/1">

Makes the following statement about the code below:
**"The computer evaluates the loop condition in the Do...Loop statment to determine whether the loop instructions should be processed. In this case, the inputsales <> String.Empty condition compares the contenst of the input sales variable to the String.Empty value. As you know the String.Empty value represents a zero length, or empty, string if the inputsales variable is empty, the loop condition evaluates to True and the computer process the loop instructions. *If on the other hand the inputsales variable is not empty, the loop condition evaluates to false and the computer skips over the loop instructions.
Based on the code I think it is the opposite: ...that while the inputsales value is not empty it should evaluate to true and process the loop and if it is empty it should evaluate to false and skip the loop?
See below.

I am constructing a program, i am new to Visual Basic, but i have past programming experience. I was wondering if anyone knew how to form a loop that could...lets say calculate the answer when two numbers are added together,and it would repeat this thousands of times, etc. And if there is a way, would it be possible to calculate the time taken to complete this loop.
View 5 RepliesI have written a function that gets the alexa ranking of a given url, now this function works perfectly but I want to loop through a ListView of urls and grab the alexa rank of each item (url) with my function.The code works great if I put a MessageBox in the loop to test that the function is returning a value but when I remove the MessageBox the loop does not work.I need it to loop through adding each result without a MessageBox stop in each loop.

So I made a simple patform game where the player has to jump quickly while the platforms move to the bottom of the screen, as to not touch the bottom of the screen. But, I need to know how to create a loop to loop the locations of the platform. This means that after twenty or so platforms, the same platforms come up again, so that the player will have an "endless" game. I've declared all the platform's locations relative to the location of the first repeating platform:

I'm completely new to working with more than one thread at a time but I've been reading up on backgroundworker quite a bit today. I get the general idea and think I could use it ok if it weren't for the fact I have a loop in a loop and I don't think they could be run inside a single thread together

I have created a public structure:
Public Structure LogicalEdge
Dim sTypeEdge As String
Dim dTotalLengthOfLines As Double
Dim lstLinesInEdge As List(Of Line)
End Structure
In my code, I create a new list of this LogicalEdge:
Dim myListOfEdges As List(Of LogicalEdge) = New List(Of LogicalEdge)
After, I create a new LogicalEdgecontainer:
LogicalEdge = New LogicalEdge
I set one of it's properties:
LogicalEdge.sTypeEdge = "endcap"
Now, I add it to the list
myListOfEdges.Add(LogicalEdge)
After looping a few times, i want to set one of the other propterties for the same item in my LogicalEdge, but when i do this:
LogicalEdge.dTotalLengthOfLines = 80.77
To look at the values in the collection, I loop through myListOfEdges collection; and I see that dTotalLengthOfLines doesn't pick up the value i have assigned to it. i thought I might need to identify which item in myListOfEdges to add it to... so i tried this:
LogicalEdge = myListOfEdges.Item(i)
LogicalEdge.dTotalLengthOfLines = 80.77
But that didn't work either.
I'm sure there is an answer to this somewhere but I'm clearly using the wrong terminology in my searches, so I apologise in advance for this inevitably being a duplicate.Take the function CType. Clearly I can cast (or at least try) a given object to a given reference type. The function will not work if trying to cast to a structure, i.e.CType(myObject, Integer)
will generate a compiler error. This I'm sure most often crops up when working with generics:
[Code]...
What is the opposite? I want only reference types so that CType doesn't fail. I can't overload the T As Structure with a plain T because it considers them identical signatures, so surely there's a keyword I'm missing somewhere?
Recently I found that I'm not able to instantiate a structure for an array:
Dim mObjectLists() As New objectLayout
Ok, fair but It's an easy way to store a bunch of data in an array instead define a class. And after that I tried to define this:
Dim mObjectLists() As Collection
And add structures to the collection. But it says you should instantiate the reference object first. I searched about creating own Collection based on the base collection class but I think It's wasting time to write a code with class inheritance instead the first sample.

View 2 RepliesIn a recent project I was working I created a structure in my class to solve a problem I was having, as a colleague was looking over my shoulder he looked derisively at the structure and said "move it into a class". I didn't have any argument for not moving it into a class other than I only need it in this class but this kind of falls down because couldn't I make it a nested class?
View 5 RepliesI need to convert structure from VB6 to VB.Net. This struct is used to pass to a c++ dll. The problem is that the following struct size in VB is 113, but for some reason in VB.Net is 116.

I have an unmanaged C++ dll that I am using in my program. I have successfully used several functions using DllImport. I have run into a problem with one function that takes a structure as input. I originally tried building a structure to pass to the function, but this was unsucessful. So i created a class to define the needed structure. When I pass this, I get no error message, but also no data is passed back to this variable. I have a C++ example of how to use this function, but I don't know how this translates to VB 2005. Here is how they call it in C++ .
