Possible To Override An Autogenerated Property In Designer File Using A Partial Class?
May 31, 2012
I am using Linq to Sql that generated a data contract for a table. I have a date field in that table which is a non-nullable field. I need to override the auto generated property of the date field to return a specific value, something like [code]Is it possible to override an autogenerated property in the designer.vb file using a partial class? I dont want to create a new property as it is currently being accessed in n number of places and I dont want to change it in every place.

I have cooked up my first iteration of a code generator which creates the basic Entity models from a SQL Database Schema. Currently, It will scan a SQL Db Schema, and create .vb code files complete with private members and Public property declarations for every User table in the Database. My next step is having it add the basic CRUD procedures as well. Are we mere mortals able to access whatever technology allows the Partial class files created by vs to be hidden/Linked to their "parent" files, such as the Partial Class files for Windows forms or any other designer-generated control? My thinking is that it would be handy to be able to re-generate code files from the database if necessary to reflect changes in the schema, without overwriting any other properties or methods added to a class in addition to those derived from the database. SO I am hoing I can have the Auto-generated output go to a Partial Class file, and then use a regular class file of the same name for the rest of the code. My Concern is the multiplicity of files that might result, so I was hoping it is possible to "tuck them in" to the parent code file in the Class View.

I have extended an Entity Framework 4 entity class with a calculated property in a partial class. This member is not available on the client to which the entities are exposed via WCF RIA Services.when using C# appears to be changing the extension of the partial class file from .cs to .shared.cs. I tried this with my VB.Net solution (.vb to .shared.vb) and got a long list of errors. I believe what happened is that the partial class lost its association with the entity on the client - it inherited from object rather than EntityObject.
My best guess is that this is related to the way that VB.Net handles namespaces.Each project has a 'Root Namespace' which is prepended to anything that is defined within a code file. C# has a 'Default Namespace'which is the namespace into which new types are placed by default - via a namespace statement within the file.The partial class is probably having the client namespace prepended to it which puts it into a different namespace than the entity with which it is associated on the server.Is there any means of extending an entity in such a way that those extensions are available on the client via WCF RIA Services and VB.Net?

I'm creating a UserControl that draws a simple radial gauge. I need it to be very customizable; the user should be able to customize everything such as the colors, fonts, sizes. So, I just made a property for every customizable detail. For example, I had ScaleFont, ScaleColor, ScaleStart, ScaleEnd, ScaleInnerRadius, ScaleOuterRadius, ScaleTickmarkFrequenty, etc.. etc.. etc...
Because there are so many properties about the same subject, I wanted to 'group' these properties into one "property". I've seen this done loads of times in third party controls, but I've never done it before myself.The idea is that the properties can be accessed like
Me.Gauge1.ScaleSettings.Start = 10
Me.Gauge1.ScaleSettings.End = 80
...
So far, I tried creating a class for each group, for example a clsScaleSettings class, containing properties like Font, Color, Start, End, InnerRadius, OuterRadius, TickmarkFrequenty, etc (corresponding to the same properties as above).
Then, for every 'group' or class, I create a Property. For example, I have the ScaleSettings property, which simply returns an instance of the clsScaleSettings class (I initialize the instance only once of course):
vb.net
Private _ScaleSettings As New clsScaleSettings
Public Property ScaleSettings() As clsScaleSettings
[code]....
Now, this works in the code editor. I can now use
Gauge1.ScaleSettings.Font = Me.Font
for example, and it sets the font correctly.But, I does not work in the designer, in the Property Grid. The whole reason I made the effort to move and rename nearly all properties (about 70!), and all references to those properties, to separate classes, was so that the user could design the gauge more easily using the Property Grid!Instead of having 15 settings related to the scale, scattered all over the Property Grid, he can now have one ScaleSettings property, which he can expand, and then he can edit the properties of that group easily.The ScaleSettings property is greyed out in the property grid... So I cannot expand it and view it's underlying properties.

I have a class that add extra information about a column for linq2sql (see code below) right now, I have to explicitly tell what column I want that info on, how would you put that code with a loop on every column in every table from a dbml file? I was doing my test on a very very small DB, now I have to implement it on a much more bigger database and I really don't want to do it manually for every tables/columns it will take hours.
how it's being used:
Partial Class Contact ''contact is a table inside a dbml file.
Private _ContactIDColumn As ExtraColumnInfo
Private _ContactNameColumn As ExtraColumnInfo
Private _ContactEmailColumn As ExtraColumnInfo

I am working in VB.NET 2010 Framework 2.0.
I don't want to allow some properties from going into form's designer file but the those properties will present on the form(property grid). The behavior of these properties will be same always.
I used the following code:
<DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Hidden)>
Public Property GradientBegin() As Color = Color.Red
But the problem I am facing is that -> on the property grid after changing the "GradientBegin" color to other than RED and compiling the program, it is replacing the new changed value to RED again. So I am not able to change the color actually.

How to override the SelectedItem property? When you look at the description of the SelectedItem property, the description shows as:"Gets the selected item with the lowest index in the list control". I would like to bypass the "lowest index" portion of the property...I have multiple items in the same list with the same value, but different text. I just want to set the SelectedItem to the actual item I've selected, not one with the same value that appears earlier in the list...

In my project, I have a table that has an image column, but with vs2008 it stores the image as bytes. I have the column set to allow nulls. When I save my image I convert it to a byte array. Then when I retrieve that row, I convert the byte array back to the image, no problems. The problem is when there is not an image selected I return Nothing to the datatable, saves ok, but when I try to retrieve that row, The dataset.desinger throw the "value in column dbnull". I can temporary override this error with a code change in the dataset.designer, but it does not stay permanently. How can I override the dataset.desinger property permanently.
Original dataset.desinger code:
<Global.System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute()> _
Public Property Image() As Byte()
Get
Try
Return CType(Me(Me.tableCustomers.ImageColumn),Byte())
[Code] .....
All I did is add the if statement capturing the dbnull and forcing it to return Nothing instead. When I close VisualStudio, then reopen this change is gone. How can I keep this or override it.

I just start working with VB. In a programme I need to keep the value in text property after programme closed.That is why I want to change (override) Text property in TextBox.Then this value will be default value when I open the programme again.I will assing a value to textbox1 in a Sub.
Sub button1_click
Textbox1.text="ttt"
End Sub
Then I need to change the Text value under "Properties" window.TextBox1 System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
I think there is Get-Set method for property override but I dont know how to use.How can I do that?

In my never ending search for more knowledge, I have come across Partial Classes. I was wondering if some of the kind people who actually understand the uses could explain some of them to me. Now I know that when we create a form that we actually create a partial class which the generator rewrites when we add a control or change a property at design-time, and this allows us not to have to worry about setting up the controls ourselves.

I have a usercontrol with a picturebox and a few buttons related to it, such as LoadFromFile, Paste and Zoom (that last one pops up a new form). Is there a way to override the basic Enabled property of the usercontrol so that I can keep the Zoom button active all the time, while turning off the other buttons?
I realize there are 2 "obvious" replies. don't do Enabled=False, create a custom method. do everything in the one form, not a usercontrol, so you can pick and choose disabling. Both are less than ideal, given that I'm putting this control into a couple of existing forms, so I'd like to work around how those forms already behave. So is there a way to override the behavior of my usercontrol when it gets disabled? What would be my best strategy?

When you create a new asp.net page in VS 2008 and choose code behind, it also creates the typical aspx.vb or aspx.cs file to go along with it.
At the top of those files, VS names the 'Partial Class' name the file structure and/or name of the aspx file.
The question: Is there a best practice for this? Can I just use a single class name for all the pages in my application or perhaps a single directory instead of having to give each one a unique name?

I would like to create a partial class for my form. I have a lot of events, and it gets messy, so I would like to break up sections into their own files. The problem: When I create a partial class of my form, say:
Partial Public Class Form1
End Class
Visual Studio decides I need another form for this partial class.
1. How do I create a partial class for a form?
2. If I cant do that, how can I break up all the events in my form into different files?

I am reading a book (ASP.NET 3.5 Enterprise Application Development with Visual Studio 2008: Problem Design Solution, WROX)The source code is written in C#, but I am a VB guy, so I am giving it a try. Somewhere in the 2nd chapter, there is a Linq to Sql file used that is generated by drag&dropping the DB tables from the Database Explorer. Because some tables have the same type of fields, there is an interface generated called IENTBaseEntity. The writer says its a good practice to implement this interface in another partial class (not the designer.vb file!). The reason for this is that when the LinqToSql file is modified (and regenerated) the changes wont be lost.
In C# this solution is easy to do (i think), but in VB.Net I get an error, because the concerning properties in the LinqToSql file do not append the 'Implement IENTBaseEntity.Property' line. When I press [Enter] after the interface implementation line, VS generates other properties like this
Partial Public Class ENTUserAccount
Implements IENTBaseEntity '--->This line results in the error
' This is not the way it should be
Public Property InsertDate1() As Date Implements IENTBaseEntity.InsertDate
Get
End Get

I am trying to write some unit tests on a class that looks like this, using Moq [code] the parameterized constructor is private or internal one of the two methods relies on the result of the other.I want to check that when GetThisOrThat is called with a value, it actually calls GetThis. But I also want to mock GetThis so that it returns a specific well-known value.To me this is an example of Partial Mocking, where we create a Mock based on a class, passing the parameters for the constructor. The problem here is that there is no public constructor, and therefore, Moq can not call it..I tried using the Accessors generated by Visual Studio for MSTest, and use those accessors for the mocking, and this is what I came up with [code]

I have a listview but I would like to add 3 properties (for example one of them is "image") to the listviewitems in it. I was fine with making a custom class with the 3 properties and just inheriting ListViewItem but now I need to use MultiSelect, so it means doing things like(in For Each loops):
ListView1.SelectedItems.Item(i).Image don't work because it returns a ListViewItem not my CustomClass. I could always do : Ctype(ListView1.selectedItems(i), MyCustomClass).Image
But using that over and over again seems like a waste/wrong way to do it?

I'm trying to create a generic Controller Class for generic events. But these these events still need to access their class variable. So my idea is to create the Base Controller Class with a ModelBaseclass variable as _ClassVar, which is inherited by all of the other class Controller classes will derive from. But I want the derived controller classes to override the _ClassVar with whichever one they need.
I want to do this, so the ControllerBaseClass can have all the generic functions that all the Derived Classes would use.
Model :
Public Class ModelBaseClass
Public Overridable Function Foo() As String
Return "Name"
