Declared A Class Variable Inside Sub?
Jul 26, 2010I have a text file to read, at the first line will have a size of array, that means I cannot guess size of array, and I have to create a array in side a sub (Local Variable). Then, I want to use value of array in another sub, but I cannot use value of variable of another sub. What I have to do to make an array con be used in every sub/function in a class? Also, I've post an example file, code and error list.

Variable Declared Inside A For Loop - Make This To A Compile Time Error?
Mar 27, 2012Today I investigated a logical bug in our software and figured out that this is related to the way VB.NET thread variables inside a loop.Let's say I have the following code:
Dim numbers As New List(Of Integer) From {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
For Each number As Integer In numbers
Dim isEven As Boolean
[code]....
The problem is that isEven is declared but not assigned.In this specific case, it would be correct to write dim isEven as Boolean = false but I haven't done this.In VB.NET, a variable that is declared inside a for loop keeps its value for the next itaration. This is by design: [URL]but this is also dangerous pitfall for programmers.
However, until now, I haven't been aware of this problem/behaviour. Until now.Most of our code base is C# anyway, which doesn't allow the use of an uninitialized variable, so there is no problem. But we have some legacy code that is written in VB.NET that we have to support. So the best thing would be to generate a warning or even an error in this specific case.But even with Option Explicit / Option Strict this does not generate a warning / an error.Is there a way make this a compile time error or maybe a way to check this with FxCop?
Call A Function From Inside Another And Suspend It Until The Called Function Is Finished
Jan 25, 2010How can I call a function from inside another function and suspend the calling function until the called function is finished? I hope I can get some replies because I don't know how to ask the question and make sense:).
Anyway what I am trying to do in steps:
1. The user clicks button1 which triggers the click event.
2. From the click event I call a function
3. I then pop-up a form, that has instructions for the user to read.
4. After the user has read the form he will click the "Done" button and return to the calling function.
The problem is the the calling function continues to execute. I want to stop execution of the calling function until the users clicks the "Done" button on the instruction pop=up. I know I can use a msgbox but the instructions can be lengthly and does not look good in a msgbox.
I have tried the Call method with return in the "Done" button click but I can make that work. I also tried a goto statement but I can get that to work either. In the call statement I said call frmInstruction.show() and it got there but as I said the calling function continued to execute.
.net - Inconsistent Behavior From Declared DLL Function?
May 21, 2010Why might my GetRawData declared function return a correct value when called from my VB.NET application, but return zero when called from my ASP.NET page?The code is exactly the same except for class type difference (Form / Page) and calling event handler (Form1_Load, Page_Load).
Note: In the actual code, #DLL# and #RAWDATAFILE# are both absolute filenames to my DLL and raw data file respectively.
Note: The DLL file was not created by Visual Studio.

Return An (Anonymous Type With A Function) From A Function?
Mar 3, 2011Just so it's known, this question is mostly academic, even though I tried to use the concept in a real-world solution. I realize the example is contrived, but I believe the concept is valid.I want to write some fluent code like this:
[code]...
I realize that I can't force an anonymous type into a specific type (like implementing an interface or some other class), and I don't want the overhead of defining a specific class just to match my desired fluent name with the actual method name. So I was able to make the code work like this:
copy(my_first_file).to.Invoke(my_second_file)So there is no IntelliSense or type awareness there, and I have to include the Invoke in order to have the method run. How can I get more type safety and exclude the Invoke method, under these constraints: Anonymous Type returned from Method No additional classes or interfaces Preferably, I do not want to pass in another parameter to the copy() method that tells what type to return, unless copy becomes a generic method (but I think that means defining another class/interface, which I don't want to do)

Error:Events Cannot Be Declared With A Delegate Type That Has A Return Type?
Apr 22, 2010I have a delegate and its event in C# as below:

I am getting error on the above line saying that "Events cannot be declared with a delegate type that has a return type".I understand that this is not supported in VB.Net.
Return Inside Of Using Statement, Will Dispose Be Called.

But if my using block is

Will myresource be disposed?
I am wondering if a similar using block is causing memory lead in the app.

Making The Program Response To The Enter/return Key Inside A Textbox?
Feb 14, 2009I'm looking for a solution for making the program response to the enter/return key inside a textbox. After browsing the forum I end up with this
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal Keyasii As Integer)
If Keyasii = 13 Then
Label1.Text = TextBox1.Text
End If
End Sub
As this seems to be the answer to the problem, I still can't make it work. I just get a 'beep' and nothing happens.

The Funtion ZZNull always returns Nothing, so IsNothing(d) in the calling method should evaluate to True.

When you run these lines, then you will see that IsNothing(d) evaluates to False

How To Use A Function's Return Value
Mar 8, 2009So the program I am writing validates the controls on the page on button_click.
I want to write a function which checks which step the program is at (0-7) then return something depending on whether or not it validated.
My plan was to return the control which was not valid.
Private Function ValidateInputs() As Control
Select Case wizardStep
Case 0
[Code].....
1. could I return the names off all the controls which did not validate?
2. should I be returning a control type or would something like a string be better?

Return NaN From A Function?
Oct 5, 2010I've created my own version of HexToDec() to properly handle the negative flag. I saw other versions online that used "Not(value)" to do the Pos/Neg inversion, but that does not generate the proper value... No, it's not the most elegant my any means. But I couldn't find anything online that actually worked.
Long story short, I want to return NaN in the case that the function is passed a string that is not a valid hex string...
How do I do that? Everything I've tried generates a compiler error... (assign return value to double.nan, assign return value to non-numeric, etc)
Existing function is below:
Function HexToDec(ByVal hexStr As String, Optional ByVal signed As Boolean = False) As Long

CLR - Function/Operator Without Return Value?
Sep 4, 2009I've create a new project, and set treat all warnings as errors in the compile tab.All the other warnings seem to be treated as errors, except the one which I'm interested in "Function/Operator without return value".I have a simple function within a class, which does not show an error if I do not add a return statement to that function. I have read in many places that VB.Net returns a "hidden" default value if the returns statement is forgotten.My software went out to production where an overloaded function was missing a return statement, which wasn't highlighted due to the above.

So the return value is ignored (which is object, as I see in the docs). Is it safe to change all these functions to Subs? Could I break something which isn't so obvious?
