Read-only Properties With No Parameters Overload Eachother?
May 13, 2011
I've noticed that a class can "overload" a read-only property of its parent class, even though this isn't allowed within a class. I don't understand why this is allowed or what (if anything) it accomplishes.
[Code]...
The signature of mySubClass.SomeProp is identical to myClass.Prop—how can the former overload the latter?
In practice this seems to function just like Shadows, is that true?
the Threading.Interlocked class provides; I don't understand, though, why the Add function only offers two overloads: one for Integers, another for Longs. Why not Doubles, or any other numeric type for that matter?Clearly, the intended method for changing a Double is CompareExchange; I am GUESSING this is because modifying a Double is a more complex operation than modifying an Integer.
I want to have use several versions of the same property within a userControl that inherits a textbox. How can do this if it is possible?I tryed using an object data type insted of the integer and double but it seems like object datatypes carnt be used within a class, because when I tried to use the control the VALUE property was disabled.
'PUBLIC PROPERTIES Public Property Value() As Integer Get[code].....
In the example below, what would you name the parameter given that it is used to initialize the property FromDate?For class constructor methods, I like to have the name of the constructor parameter variable match the name of the property which is being initialized. For example, the parameter "fromDate" is used to initialize the module level variable "_FromDate" with the statement _FromDate = fromDate. Likewise, I could have alternatively written Me.FromDate = fromDate.
Proponents of C#'s case sensitivity would probably say that using a leading lower cased letter for the param variable name, which I believe is MS convention, is an acceptable approach to distinguish it from the Property of the same name but different casing.
However, VB is not case sensitive, which I generally appreciate. In the following example, I am using a param name that matches the property name, 'fromDate," and VB refers to the local instance when there is ambiguity. However, many would probably argue that this "ambiguity" introduces the opportunity for the developer to get confused and not realize which variable is being used. For example, my intent below was to have TWO params passed in, "fromDate" and "toDate" but I accidentily ommited one and as a result, the VB.NET did not warn me of the mistake because it assumed that the statement _ToDate = ToDate was equivalent to _ToDate = Me.ToDate instead of informing me that the variable on the right side of the assignment statement was undeclared.
Public Class Period Property FromDate As Date Property ToDate As Date

In my judgement, we should have a convention for prefixing all parameter variable with a prefix, but hasn't the use of prefixes been discouraged by Microsoft? For example:
Public Sub New(ByVal paramFromDate As Date, paramToDate As Date)
..or maybe it could be shortened to pFromDate, pToDate...
Dim unk1 As ULong 'always 0x70007 Dim unk2 As ULong 'always 0x70007 Dim unk3 As ULong 'always 0x70007 Dim unk4 As ULong 'always 0x70007 Dim unk5 As ULong 'always 0x70007 Dim unk6 As ULong 'always 0x70007
vb program to append two pdf files together into one? I have invoices that are created as pdf files and I need to append a special announcement also a pdf to the end of it so I can upload one file to the internet for customers to download and view.
I need to take six altitudes altitude1 and altitude2 and check to see if they are with in a value of 250 of each other. Then if there are any that are within 250 of each other, to make them turn red.
Second thing is:
I need to take 6 altitudes, and arrange them. I have them in panels and I have 6 empty panels as place holders for .location value however I need to know how to look at 6 values and say arrange these values accordingly highest number this place lowest number this place etc.
I have looked everywhere on the internet and maybe im just retarded when it comes to math in vb.net.
Is there any way to generate checksum for a dll from the main app (compiled) and the main app from the dll when I run the main app or something of this kind?
I am trying to figure out how to place controls on top of one another in html.For example. I am trying to place 2 labels on top of eachother. and also I am trying to place a text box under a dropdownList.
I have so far written a program where you click a button and a custom control is added to the form. These controls can then be dragged and positioned anywhere on the form.I know want to be able to align/snap these controls.
Is there a way to call a running application (my own) and read properties from it? In this case read and get a collection of objects and put it into a similar collection.
First off I am fairly new to VB .net however I have had some success in my project so far. I am creating a simple envelope accounting program for personal use. So far I have some basic forms created and have my class defined and a few methods for calculating my balances as well as changing the property data I want to work with. I now want to take this property data and save it to an xml file that I can easily retrieve the data into another form and save for later.
Here is a screen shot of the form used to gather the property data for my class
Here's the class code:
Public Class EnvelopeSystem #Region "Identification" Private eUsername As String = "" Public Property Username() As String
[CODE]...
I am looking for advice on how to get this to xml the most efficient way possible. Also if there are any blatant errors or easier ways to code what I already have I am still very new at this and would be glad to see easier more efficient ways of coding.
I'm writing a query to select all records that has any part of parameter. I have one table called Employees. Some people have name like this: John David Clark If the parameter is
[Code]....
I should be able to get result back as long as there's a match in the parameters. If I use Function Contains (q.FirstName & " " & q.LastName).Contains(employeeName), I will not get any result back if employeeName is "John Clark" Function Contains looks only for next words from left to right. It doesn't match a single word at a time. So that's why I used this in the Linq to SQL:
Well im currently developing an application for public use, I have a login screen in which the user enter's their registered credential's and the progressbar loads by increments of 3, now i placed 6 labels ontop of eachother and where the progressbar coding is i put:
If Progressbar.Value >= 1 Then Label3.Show() If Progressbar.Value >= 20 Then Label3.Hide() Label4.show()
And so on up until Label8 Show at 100%,
Now the problem is... As i have placed the labels ontop of eachother i need them hidden until they are called to show, i have tried adding a background worker to do this but have had no luck, all i see is the labels overlapping eachother when i run my application when i want them hidden untill Label3.Show() is called, and then to display them as they are called and hide them when another one is called to show...
I am getting error [07002] the # binded parameters < the # of parameters makers, i checked both parameters were perfect even though i am getting this error here is my code
I'm trying to support Basic.NET on my framework so I'm trying to convert C# 4 code to Basic.NET 10. Microsoft is committed to "co-evolve" these two but I'm having a problem with collection initialization... I found that I can initialize a collection much like in C#:
Basically Commands has Parameters and parameters has functions like Add, AddWithValue, and etc. In all tutorials i've seen, i usually noticed that they are using Add instead of AddWithValue.
[Code]...
since it saves my coding time. So which is better to use? Which is safe to use? Does it improves performance?
is there a way to get the GET parameters and POST parameters in just one function or Collection in ASP.NET? Like using $_REQUEST in PHP? I'm using VB.NET.
I've done plenty of Method Overloading, but now I have an instance where I would like to Overload a Property. The IDE in Visual Studio seems to allow it, since I can actually set up the two overloads, but I get an error saying it is not valid because they only differ in type. I think I'm missing something in my syntax?I want to be able to use two (or more) different custom classes as the Type for my property.
Public Overloads Property myFlexibleProperty() As myCustomClass1 Get Return _myFlexibleProperty1
I'm making a control and I am trying to finalize my design time properties grid. I have several List(of Class) items as public properties and when I click on the design time menu (while testing the control) there is the word "Collection" and a button with an ellipsis (...) that brings up a neat pop up with the buttons Add/remove and all of the public properties of the collection's class on the right hand side. Basically for a non-collection instance of a class (with public properties) I'd like a similar button to show up. I know I could put all of the properties in the main control class and group them, but I like the pop up box feature. Anyway to duplicate this? (think font grid item etc.)
In the form design I set up a TableLayoutPanel, 20x20 cells and in cell (1,1) a PictureBox (called Target) containing the image of a small target. The properties box for Target shows some very promising properties, Column and Row - and if you overwrite the values in the properties box, the PictureBox obligingly shifts to the corresponding cell position in th design. However in VB it is not possible to refer to Me.Target.Row or .Column - neither appears during coding in the menu of properties, and deliberately coding either of them produces an error like
Error 1 'row' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox'.
1. Why does the properties box show properties that cannot be altered programmatically?
2. How can my program move Target around in the TableLayoutPanel?
I am trying to pass multiple signature calls to an overloaded function. My understanding is that VB can recognize the different signatures and use the appropriate function.[code]...
