View 6 RepliesI'm currently working on being able to import a DLL written in Fortran into Visual Basic. I've got all the basics down, so now I'm trying to take it a step further. The title basically says it all, but I'll explain what it is I'm trying to do anyways.
For kicks and giggles, let's just assume I want to pass an object that has three double values in it, possibly representing a point in space in three dimensions. In my Fortran method, I want to take that object, print out the x value, then change the x value to 7.5. Here's my Fortran code that does just that.[code]...

Is there a way in vb.net to create a sub/function that will take as an argument some kind of pointer to another function, and allow this new sub/function to execute the passed function? What I have are 10-12 xml-rpc functions I am calling against a remote server. Each of these functions has different argument lists (one takes 1 string, another might take 3 strings and one int, etc). All of them return an object.

Is there a way to choose between different methods and pass one into another method ?
Sub conditionnal_binding(ByVal list_box_reference As ListBox, ByVal list_box_final As ListBox, _

I wrote ??? because I don't know how to call another method inside a method.

So for instance I have this method: LoadFunkyInfo(byval funkyData as string) And I pass it something like this:

I read somewhere long ago, that it's better to assign the method to a variable and pass that variable to a method, as opposed to passing the method as a parameter. Is that still true? Or true at all?
This link explains the Encoder.GetBytes Method and there is a bool parameter called flush explained too . The explanation of flush is : true if this encoder can flush its state at the end of the conversion; otherwise, false. To ensure correct termination of a sequence of blocks of encoded bytes, the last call to GetBytes can specify a value of true for flush.but I didn't understand what flush does?
View 3 RepliesI have traditionally coded empty strings like this "", but for a couple of years now, I have been using String.Empty.I also normally never use optional parameters, but I'm refactoring a solution that's tied into my ERP, and I don't want to break anything. One of the changes was to add a parameter to proc, which pushes a new parameter into the method from which it is called. I coded it like this:
Optional BackReferenceID As String = String.Empty
But I got a syntax error "Constant expression is required." I guess String.Empty is non-deterministic??? Anyway, it seems like a bug. The workaround is of course to use double quotes.
What happened when parameter passing. Here is a test project I write.

From the project you can see, when pass integer type parameter (value type) into a method , if use ByVal keyword, the value won't change. If use ByRef keyword, the value will change (I can understand it, to my understanding, when using ByVal, It pass the value of the argument to the method; when using BvRef, it pass the address of the argument to the method, so the value can be rewrite)
Well, for the following two scenarios , I can't understand why.
String type is reference type, but it acts like integer type.
Val type is also reference type, but no matter what you use(ByVal or ByRef), the result will be the same.
So my question is what actually passed into method? What's the underlying mechanism about pass parameter? What's the effect of ByRef and ByVal to value type and reference type?

I have already defined in my SELECT statement in TableAdapter to tell it what to do if the parameters are Null:
SELECT a.ID, a.NameID, b.BNameID

AND ((@BNameID IS NULL) OR (b.BNameID = @BNameID))
Jst recently i came across the select() method of data table and felli n love with it instantaneously.
Basically I want query the data table on a date field, unfortunately the format of the date string returned from y database in to data-table and the date string i'm passing as inputs are different.
How can i make sure that the data is compared irrespective of the formats ? Can I use something like SqlParameters whoes data type is date for comparison ??
this is what i'm tying :
dim dat as date = "#1/3/2009#"
dt.select("StzDate ='" & dat "'")
entry in datateable dt : StzDate : 3/1/2009 12:00:000
Am I do'in something wrong ??
Also, can anyone redirect me to some site where I can learn a bit more about passing parameters to the select statement,etc...
In VB.NET, it is entirely possible to pass an integer as a string parameter to a method without calling .ToString() - it's even possible to call .ToString without the ()'s. The code will run without a problem, VB will interpret the integer as a string without having been told to. In C#, these would cause compilation errors - you are required to call .ToString() and to call it correctly in that situation before it will compile. Is there a way to make the VB compilation process check for the same things as the C# compilation process? Would it be best practice in a mixed team to force this check?

View 2 RepliesI have various shape objects, and I want each unique shape to implement a saveToDB method that simply calls a DB object that implements a Save method with an object as its input paramter. This DB.Save method will be a long case function that implements the proper SQL commands based on the type of attributes possessed by the input parameter object.how do I implement the SaveToDB method in my Shape class? Is it something like this:
Function Shape.SaveToDB
DB.Save(Me)
End Function
The goal here is to let each shape save itself without it knowing anything about database operations; I want to isolate db-specific information in my intermediary DB object, so the DB object will have to figure out what type of object wants to be saved into the SQL database and then execute whatever SQL instructions are needed. And then if I override the SaveToDB method in each shape subclass, I can avoid the case statement entirely, replacing it with a series of unique methods such as db.SaveCircle (ob), db.SaveSquare (ob), etc., sincle the caller already knows what it is.

I have an object, called 'PERSON' This person object has a title, firstName & Surname property as well as many other which are at the moment irrelevant. It also has a read only property called Fullname which concatenates the two or three parameters mentioned above depending on an optional parameter 'withTitles' passed over when you call PERSON.FULLNAME
PERSON.FULLNAME(true) <- Will add titles if there are any
PERSON.FULLNAME(false) <- Will give the name without the title
Public ReadOnly Property FullName(Optional ByVal withTitle As Boolean = False) As String
[Code]...
I get an error: PERSON does not contain a property of 'FullName'. If I change this to any other property that does not take a parameter it works as expected. Now I'm guessing that the binding procedure can't handle optional or mandatory parameters for object properties, is this right? Is there a better way to do it? I thought about looping through the collection to add them manually but that kinda defeats the object of DataBinding!
How can I get the name of the object that was passed byref into a method?
Example:

end sub

I'm using this for logging. I use one method multiple times and it would be nice to log the name of the variable that I passed to it. Since I'm passing it byref, I should be able to get this name, right?This would give you the parameter name in the method and it's type, but not the name of the variable that was passed byref.
using system.reflection
Dim mb As MethodBase = MethodInfo.GetCurrentMethod()
For Each pi As ParameterInfo In mb.GetParameters()

If you put that in "mymethod" above you'd get "o" and "Object".
