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..
I have a need to provide mouse coordinates and click details to the sub-classes of an application. The details are stored in a typed variable in the main class, as they are not processed when the event occurs.
What is the correct way of getting the classes to refer to variables in the parent class that instigated them? I realise this is not standard practise, but at this stage in the project I am converting code from a procedural language and need to do this as an intermediary step. Using the mouse events is also not possible, as this is a DirectX-oriented real-time program, and some things still have to be processed procedurally. They have to be stored via the event and then processed manually.
I may have dozens of instances of the classes, so distributing the mouse data every time it changes is not a good option. Ideally, the class should be able to retrieve the data when it needs it.
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:
I used reflection to get the classes, methods inside an Net assembly. Everything works fine when a function only have one version (not overloaded), but when i get overloaded versions i can't get any version...
I build a simple application with a simple class and added a method with two versions, and i can get the correct version using the GetMethod.I don't know if it's the parameters type, but i can get it work. Example, the sub BASS_Init has 2 versions
BASS_Init(ByVal device As Integer, ByVal freq As Integer, ByVal flags As Un4seen.Bass.BASSInit, ByVal win As System.IntPtr, ByVal clsid As System.Guid)and
BASS_Init(ByVal device As Integer, ByVal freq As Integer, ByVal flags As Un4seen.Bass.BASSInit, ByVal win As System.IntPtr) And one of the next two should work, but none works get nothing every time:
My group is attempting to standardize on XML commenting for all of our classes and methods. We like the "Insert comments" option in VS 2005 but would like to add an additional tag <history> to the comments section. I know that we could probably do this manually each time we add a new class, but I would like to be able to have this new section come up automatically when we insert the comment.
I will preface this by saying Im previously an asp developer and am learning oop programming/Vb.Net
Im working on a 3 tier architecture and trying to abstract my code as much as possible since I have a very large intranet to convert. In my business layer I am defining my classes with management methods. Below is an example of one of my classes.
My question: Is there a way for me to genericaly refer to the class type and object type so that I dont have to continualy refer to the class name/type "ServiceRequest" throughout the class. For example something like:
I have upgraded a visual basic 2005 project to visual basic 2010 (.net framework 4.0). I want to list all obsolete functions used in this project in order to change it with newer ones. How can I treat obsolete functions warnings as errors in visual basic 2010 ms-build?
I am working on a VB.Net application that needs to access a web service that I am nearly certain has a C# backend. At bare minimum, the backend is providing classes to me that are differentiated only by case, and within a number of those classes, there are properties and methods that are only differentiated by case.
VB.Net is case insensitive, and it sees a number of these items as being ambiguous.I've thought of a few ways of dealing with this, but I would like suggestions before I go down a road that is likely difficult.
Here are some ways I have considered going about it.Modifying the generated code for the wsdl. This has presented problems in responding as the xml output would no longer conform to the webservice requirements.I think there might be some attributes I could use to override this, but I'm not sure what they are yet. Even so, this web service gets frequent updates and I would hate to have to keep refixing the service every time I refreshed it.Creating a csharp wrapper project where I expose the underlying classes with different names. Primarily through inheritance. Although the big problem here has been the issue with properties and methods that are only differentiated by case as well.
I'm sure at some point I could get one or the other of these solutions working, but if anyone has any better suggestions that I'm not thinking of,
I want to know what are classes , objects , a namespace , subroutines,functions,methods,properties and differemce betweem byval and byref in your words.
public class CategoryRepository: RepositoryBase<Category>, ICategoryRepository { public CategoryRepository(IDatabaseFactory databaseFactory) : base(databaseFactory)

Does anyone has an idea what i should change to let it work and let my UserRepository use the methods in RepositoryBase while implementing the IUserRepository?
I am working with a vb program, but there is something strange on one of my .vb code pagewhen i put the "dot" afther the object name its dont show the methods availables for this objectbut on other vb code pages i can see it. but in this one no.for exmaplethis is a piece of code: Dim sb As New StringBuilder()
I am not sure how clear my question is by the title, but I am trying to make Class methods instead of Instance methods in Visual Basic that way I don't have to waste memory and code creating temporary objects to execute methods that don't need instance variables.
I am not sure if you can do that in VB but I know you can in Objective-C by using either a "+" or "-" sign in front of the method declaration. And in C++ (at least I think, I can't remember) you put the static keyword or const keyword in front of the function.How would I do this in VB if it is possible? Or should I just make a separate set of functions that are not members of a class?
I have two classes, one nested in the other. [code]Neither "Name" or "ID" are unique between operations and records.I wish to construct a dictionary using LINQ = Dictionary(Of String, Of List(Of Integer), whereby the keys are uniqe examples of Names in my collection and the values are the collective set of distinct IDs that are associated with those names.
How can I structure my classes so that the user interfaces though a single class while the supporting classes are hidden from their view? I think its best understood in an example:
Public Class MyInterface Public Economic as EconomicClass Public Sub New() MyBase.New()
[code].....
So you might ask why am I even separating them? It's strictly for others who will be working with this interface. I need to funnel them though a logical structure:
This way everything is already handled for them in the background and they only need to run the method they need. I don't know if I can have it both ways in VB.NET.
I have been debugging my code for a while and looking at posts in other forums, but it seems to be that everyone has a different problem than mine and what works for them will not work for me.My dropdown list is supposed to filter a gridview by choosing all the Companies that are associated to a certain product. The solution I have found online is that most people did not have DataKeyNames set in their gridview. I do have this set, but not to CompanyID. It wouldn't make any sense. So I have no idea what I am supposed to do since this is the only answer I have found.
I have one scalar value function defined in sql database.It accespts 2 parameters and return an integer.Can anyone please help how to call UDF from vb.net using oledeb?
This seems so basic but I've been struggling to find a solution! I have a web page that take user data from aspx textboxes. Upon hitting a button, the click event submits the responses to a SQL table. Seems easy.I'm using VS10, dev express and VB code. I have established my datacontext class using LinqToSql...In a nutshell, the code is as follows...within the click eventNote that "database" was earlier defined as my datacontext sql connection, "Request" tablee
Dim vname As String = AspxTextbox1.Text database.executecommand("INSERT INTO [Requests] (ContactName) Values (@vname)")
im having this prob, when deleting a line from my gridview, this error shows out.Must declare the scalar variable "@productid".Well, i dont know whats wrong with the coding. As i have already declared the productid.
I am getting the following screen shot error when I am testing my code.
vb Private Sub cmdLogin_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdLogin.Click 'get todays date and assign it to a variable Dim TodaysDate As Date = Now
I'm writing a custom DAL (VB.NET) for an ordering system project. I'd like to explain how it is coded now, and receive some alternate ideas to make coding against the DAL easier/more readable. The DAL is part of an n-tier (not n-layer) application, where each tier is in it's own assembly/DLL.
The DAL consists of several classes that have specific behavior. For instance, there is an Order class that is responsible for retrieving and saving orders. Most of the classes have only two methods, a "Get" and a "Save," with multiple overloads for each. These classes are marked as Friend and are only visible to the DAL (which is in it's own assembly).
In most cases, the DAL returns what I will call a "Data Object." This object is a class that contains only data and validation, and is located in a common assembly that both the BLL and DAL can read.To provide public access to the DAL, I currently have a static (module) class that has many shared members. A simplified version looks something like this:
Public Class DAL Private Sub New End Sub Public Shared Function GetOrder(OrderID as String) as OrderData
[code].....
This cleans it up a bit, but it leaves a lot of classes that only have references to other classes, which I don't like for some reason.Without resorting to passing DB specific instructions (like where clauses) from BLL to DAL, what is the best or most common practice for providing a single point of access for the DAL?
In my propertygrid having one custom property ..suppose some text is there in this item.i want user to allow only delete the item.nothing more like editing ,backspace nothing..only provide delete key option to this property item..
At first I was using this as an extension method to update my detached entities...
Public Sub AttachUpdated(ByVal obj As ObjectContext, ByVal objectDetached As EntityObject) If objectDetached.EntityState = EntityState.Detached Then Dim original As Object = Nothing
[code]....
Everything has been working great until I had to update non-scalar properties. Correct me if I am wrong but that is because "ApplyCurrentValues" only supports scalars. To get around this I was just saving the FK_ID field instead of the entity object relation. Now I am faced with a many to many relationship so its not that simple. I would like to do something like this...
Dim Resource = RelatedResource.GetByID(item.Value) Condition.RelatedResources.Add(Resource)
But when I call SaveChanges the added Resources aren't saved. I started to play around with self-tracking entities but it seems they cannot be serialized to ViewState and this is a requirement for me.how to either save my many to many relationships or serialize self-tracking entities?
I am trying to write VB.NET query without writing SQL stored procs. I have already gotten many dataset text queries to work. But I am having trouble with getting this scalar query to work. All I want to do is to get the result of this T-SQL query. How can I code this successfully? select (DateDiff(w, '1/1/' + '2011', getdate())) / 7 AS SELECTED_WEEK (What this code does is it returns the current week of the year). And will this query above return the value as an integer datatype or string?
I tried your answers but it gave me this exception error:
System.InvalidOperationException: ExecuteReader requires an open and available Connection. The connection's current state is Closed.
