I read somewhere that older VB .net (pre VB .NET 2005?) couldn't use overloaded operators in a C# class. Is it true for overloaded cast operators?Either way do you guys think it's a disadvantage for a C# class library not to include them and arithmetic methods as actual methods for other languages, like:
ToDouble
ToFloat
FromDouble
Add

I have a C# library that internal clients configure with VB.Net Their scripts are throwing an InvalidCastException where they really shouldn't.
So the code is something like this (massively simplified):
//C#3
public class Foo {
public static implicit operator Foo ( Bar input )
[Code].....
Strange - it looks like the VB.net compiler can find the cast operator but it's lost at runtime. Surely the VB and C# IL will be pretty similar here?
The VB.net code is dynamically compiled - the compile happens the first time a user logs into the app. it's being compiled as VB.Net against .Net 3.5, and I'm not using any COM interop.
Several of my overriden Equals methods have started throwing Invalid Cast Exceptions -
Unable to cast object of type 'System.DBNull' to type Common.ResolveUser'.
This occurs when binding List (of T) (where T is of type ResolveUser in this case) to a combo.
Equals Method:
Public Overrides Function Equals(ByVal obj As Object) As Boolean
Dim i As ResolveUser = CType(obj, ResolveUser)
If i.UniqueResolveID = UniqueResolveID Then Return True

I am assuming "No", but I cannot find conclusive proof on Google to back this assumption. Using keywords of 'vb.net "generic operator overload"' yields exactly 1 result, and removing 'overload' gives more, but no direct statement to the issue.
My thinking is given an abstract class, it'd be great to be able to implement a generic operator overload that a derived class can use in such a case when said operator overload has to return a New copy of the derived class, yet the code for each overload is the same. If that makes any sense.
This touches back to my previous questions on my custom Enum class and overloading the bitwise operators (And, Or, Not, & Xor), but, this particular thought was prompted by a mere curiosity of "Can it be done?".
Here's what one of my custom enums basically look like:
The parent, EBase is nothing special, just hosting common Name and Value properties, plus two shared operators, op_Equality and op_Inequality.
Friend NotInheritable Class EExample
Inherits EBase
Private Sub New()
[Code]....
Then (in theory anyways), calling EExample.OneA Or EExample.FiveE would work because the compiler would know to call the generic operator overload from EBase, know that EExample.Enums matches the IEnums interface constraint, and automatically supply T.
That or I'm just swimming up a certain creek here without a paddle and over-analyzing things. But it's an interesting thought, no? What is StackOverflow's consensus? Do I need to lay off the Spice a little bit?
PS: I use /* */ style comments because Markdown doesn't handle VB-style properly.
PPS: I know that, in the last example, Return New T( ... ) is invalid, but I can't think of a proper syntax that would articulate the basic idea.
We build a class (i.e. Server) and create a LOAD method that loads a dataset with all the details of that object.We need all that information sometimes... but what about when we only need one piece of data from that object (i.e. webserviceUrl).Should we build classes with a bunch of scalar methods that get back single pieces of data as opposed to only getting ALL the data and then only taking what we need?It's a waste to get all the data when we dont always need all of it but it also will take longer to write the extra methods..

View 16 RepliesI was debating on placing this in the Office Automation section, but I think that the error is actually unrelated to concepts in Office Automation, and instead related to VB.Net.
Anyways, I have been programming a Metrics application for the past few months. For all intensive purposes, I have just completed the programming. However, I recently started to get the error "Specified cast is not valid". You can see the stack trace below:
Quote:
Message: Specified cast is not valid.
StackTrace: at Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.OLEFormat.get_ Object() at Metrics_Application.Utilities.PrepareGraph(Present ation mainPres, String ObjectNum, Int32 slideDiff) in C:RSNF MetricsMetrics ApplicationMetrics
[Code]....
I am passing into the method the Powerpoint Presentation object, the string specifying the Object name of the graph Ole Shape, and an integer for the slideDiff (to help differentiate which slide the method is modifying). Also, for context, I am using this to automate a PPT presentation, using Powerpoint.Interop COM objects.
I have tried to research this on various forums. Typically, it seems like this problem is found when accessing databases, or when someone tries to put a string into an integer variable (or another type of incompatible variable type). Looking at the code, I always bring in the string for the Object Number...so the variable type is correct there.

HI, using vs2008 and building a web app. On a asp page called blackjack.aspx, I have four labels with id of lbBJTStatusP1 lbBJTStatusP2 lbBJTStatusP3 lbBJTStatusP4.
I want to address those labels in a single sub by casting the casting two strings into the control name, so that string lbBJTStatusP & "1" would refer to lbBJTStatusP1.This is done on the code behind page.
So far I have tried this but with no success. boxct refers to either "1" "2" "3" or "4".[code]...

I have a class that inherits DataTable, because we needed a couple of extra properties and methods.I did not create a derived DataSet to hold them because you can add myTable to a dataset because myTable is ultimately, a DataTable after all.My issue comes when I've used ReadXml or adapter.Fill or some other method to fill a DataSet.So when I attempt to set myTable = DataSet.Tables(0), I get the InvalidCast Exception or whatever it is.I know that DataTable cannot be cast to myTable unless the DataTable was first cast from myTable.So I feel that by some combination of nested Casts it could be done.I want to override the Copy method of the DataTable or the Widening and Narrowing operators or even all of the above. Some one please tell me it can be done.Now, I do have something that works for now, but it just feels sloppy to me and I know there HAS to be a better way.[code]
