Pass A String From VB 2010 To A Fortran DLL?
Aug 3, 2011
I can pass integers, singles, doubles, and arrays of all these back and forth with no problem. But I can't figure out how to pass a string in Visual Basic 2010 to a character variable in the Fortran DLL. I keep getting the PInvokeStackImbalance error. I could just convert the Visual Basic string to an integer array containing the ASCII code for each character, send that, and convert back inside the DLL, but that's pathetic. There must be a simple way to do this.
I first tried using Dim txt(50) as Char in VB2010, and character*50 txt in the DVF F90 DLL but that didn't work.
Then I tried Dim txt as String in Visual Basic 2010 and made the string 50 characters long (also tried 49) but this didn't work.

I was wondering if there was a way to write fortran or to integrate fortran to Visual Basic .net 2010..Maybe with adding a refferance or something? what options are available?

I'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]...

I have a button on a form that is supposed to run an executable (compiled Intel Fortran v11) on the click event. Here is the code:
Private Sub RunButton_Click() Handles RunButton.Click
Try
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C: estDir estCode.exe")
[Code]....
I'm certain the path is correct and I have verified that running the testCode.exe from the cmd window works as it should (testCode.out file is updated). When I try to run the process via the RunButton it appears to work...no errors are reported or caught. However, the expected output file is not updated indicating testCode.exe did not execute. All of the online support I have researched indicates this should work.

So strings are reference types right? My understanding is a reference to the string in the heap is passed even when you pass the string ByVal to a method.
String myTestValue = "NotModified";
TestMethod(myTestValue);
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write(myTestValue); /* myTestValue = "NotModified" WTF? *[code].....
And what is going on under the hood? I would have bet my life that the value would have changed....

I am trying to use string.format on a url to pass several values into the string. It's probably a simple error but I cannot get the following code to work. It doesn't even build the string.

Dim url As String

I have several subroutines which are written in FORTRAN.
1) how I need to compile the FORTRAN subroutines?
2) what I need to do within VB 2005 to call these FORTRAN subroutines within the VB 2005 code?

I am running one fortran exe in .net application(calling from command line with the help of system diagnostic process). If we directly click on fortran exe, it shows inputs to enter for fortran in command window, after input entered it gets executed. We want same behaviour but want to run fortran exe from .net application, If we click on button in vb.net form, this exe should get called and should show inputs to enter on the command line, once inputs entered it should execute. How to achieve this with .net application? Right now, after clicking on button in vb.net form, exe get's opened in command window, but it is blank, and gets hanged. [code]

I have a DLL written in fortran that I know works because I am getting it from a working software package that we use daily. I am trying to call it from anything but am having problems i believe with passing the correctly formatted arguments in and out of it, so i decided to try and access it from a VB program. I chose VB because I have contacted the developer of the software package we are using and he gave me his DLL function call in VB6, even though he is not allowed to show me the FORTRAN source.
Problem is (perhaps, i think) that I am writing in VB.NET, which has different data types than VB6. Can anyone see why i am am having problems. The error i get upon running is: "AccessViolationException was unhandled: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt."

I am writing a simulator for a complex technical system. I have created a custom control which inherits from the Button control. My project requires around 100 of these buttons, which function identically except for one difference. The background image cycles between 4 different images, (depending upon whether the button is pressed and/or the state of a Fault parameter), and this group of 4 images is different for many of the buttons. So when I drag a new control onto the form, I'd like to be able to specify which group of 4 images to use for this button.
Currently I'm using this syntax:
if not IsFault and isOn then
MyBase.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.FaultOnButton01
...
But this means I have to change each image in the code for each individual button. To simplify matters I though of using the Tag attribute. That way the class code can select the images by a process like this:
if not IsFault and isOn then
Mybase.BackgroundImage=My.Resources. + mybase.Tag + "01"
Obviously this syntax won't work, so my question is: How can I pass a built-up string value to the MyBase.BackgroundImage?

I have a subroutine that was written in fortran that I need to call from VB.NET where all of my other functions are written. I did not write the fortran, and hardly know fortran. I am getting the below exception on my dll function call and don't know how to fix it. I wonder if it is due to incongruent variable lengths? I have the source for my fortran and compiled it using the g95 compiler. I have tried compiling it with a flag on which is supposed to force all of the reals to 32 bits (-r4). It weirds me out that you don't seem to be required to initialize variables before use in fortran. I thought it was supposed to be a ridged language.

I have 2 source codes in fortrran (I have not written them). I visualized these codes by linking them to VB2005.when I excuate the VB.exe, when VB calls one of these DLLs, there is no problem, but in calling the other DLL, the DLL is executed but the VB.exe is closed and the interface page to the user goes out.

I could pass a User Defined Type data structure to a Fortran DLL, that contained Short Integers, Singles (real variables) and a series of Fixed Arrays, both short integers and real variables.I am upgrading my VB6 app to Visual Studio 2008 - VB, and I want to keep the same data structures as they are used in about 300,000 lines of code.I modified the Data Structure as follows below, making sure it is of Explicit Layout, since I want the position of all variables to be the same both in VS 2008 and Fortran.Two problems arise:
1) if the LayoutKind is Explicit, such as in the example below (only part of the data structue is shown, where "..." indicate part of omitted data structure members), whenever I try to run my app, I get the following exception message, which indicates that the VBFixedArray declared at Offset 154 is in conflict with some other object, unnamed by the exception handler.
Message="Could not load type 'MyApp.SomeStruct' from assembly 'MyApp, Version=1.32.3906.33480, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' because it contains an object field at offset 154 that is incorrectly aligned or overlapped by a non-object field."
Source="MyApp"
TypeName="MyApp.SomeStruct"
StackTrace:[code]....
2) if the LayoutKind is Sequential, the app will start, all the data preceding the VBFixedArrays is passed to the Fortran Dll without problem; everything that follows the VBFixedArray is garbled and unusable. To check this, I have made a Fortran subroutine in the Dll to which I pass both the Data Structure and a vector; in the Fortran subroutine, all the elements of the data structure are equivalenced to individual positions in the vector; upon return from the Fortran subroutine, I compare the elements of the data structure and those of the vector.
The problem here is that the Data Structure contains some 1300 names, and is used extensively in the application, as it is the way to pass elegantly a lot of data pertaining to a mathematical model with only one adress when accessing the Fortran Dll, in which the computing engine lies.
<StructLayout
<StructLayout(LayoutKind.Explicit, Size := 9226, CharSet := CharSet.Ansi)>

My challenge is to prepare for a presentation using a GUI interface to access a program written in Fortran.The Fortran program reads a data file and then writes an output file.For the presentation I need to be able to change a variable value in a VB form, update the data file, and run the Fortran program from the VB form.I also need to be able to create graphs using VB forms using the output file generated by the Fortran program.

I'm setting up a simple helper class to hold some data from a file I'm parsing. The names of the properties match the names of values that I expect to find in the file. I'd like to add a method called AddPropertyValue to my class so that I can assign a value to a property without explicitly calling it by name.The method would look like this:
//C#
public void AddPropertyValue(string propertyName, string propertyValue) {
//code to assign the property value based on propertyName
}
'VB.NET'
[Code]...
Is this possible without having to test for each individual property name against the supplied propertyName?

I have written a program that performs multiple httpwebrequests. It reports in to me by writing to the console. In the past, i have used a backgroundworker for this task, but the code became ugly and bulky. Now, i use threading.thread to start the background process. However, i can't seem to find an explanation on updating the UI from the worker thread.
I've read a lot on delegates, invoke and lambda's, and i just got more confused.
Let's say, in my current program i have this line to be displayed in a textbox on my main form:
"Error reading events!"
