Recommended Practice Is For Importing Namespaces?
Mar 27, 2012
Just wondering what the recommended practice is for importing namespaces. Are you always better importing the namespace like the fisrt snippet of code, or are you better to type the full namespace inline with your code.
I like both methods; the first is tidier and takes less code, the second can identify exactly where your accessing some logic from which can provide some clarity when looking over the code. Just wondering if there are pros/cons for either or if this is just a personal preference, currently I use a combination but would like to keep consistant.

i hav a problem in building a solution in vs 2008.I'm opening vb.net project in VSS repository.When i tried to build the application its giving lot of compile error.After examining the code i've found that the namespaces are not imported in *.vb file , hence the types used in the file are not accessible .I know that we can import namespaces at application level

I would like to import System.Data.OleDb to my list of references, but it won't let me, I can't find it on the list but it's obviously there cause I can type olede.oledbparameter.
My list shows
System.Data
System.Data.DataSetExtensions
System.Data.Entity
System.Data.Linq
System.Data.Services.Client
System.Data.SqlXml
I can't find System.Data.Oledb. Now, I did a "hack" job and got it added, but I couldn't figure out how to do it with the GUI. I edited the .proj file with notepad and added it manually.
How can I add it with the GUI?
Steps:
Clicked on Project
Clicked on Add Reference...
Clicked on .Net, Com, Projects
Couldn't find it on either of those lists.

In the first comment (by J.W.) to this question: Using ObjectDataSource and DataObjectTypeName, How Do You Handle Delete Methods With Just An Id Parameter?, it is said that using ObjectDataSource is a bad design. What is considered good design for well-architected ASP.NET applications?

I'm trying to get started with a simple audio application under .NET 3.5 (preferably in VB.NET, but will happily use C#). What I'd like to do is: Continuously record audio from (the default) Windows audio input device in 8-bits-per-sample PCM format For every N bytes captured, do some analysis on the raw audio (some RMS and/or SPL calculations -- basically what you'd need for a pretty VU bar graph thingy) If the audio fragment is found interesting after analysis, save it using a compressed file format (e.g. MP3)

Which is the recommended approach for copying elements from one control to another? Currently I am using something like this:
For Each a As Control In control.Controls
Controls.Add(a)
Next
Should I stick to it, or should I change to use the ControlCollection.CopyTo method instead?

I come from a C# background but am now working mostly with VB.Net. It seems to me that the above functions (and others - eg. UCase, LCase) etc. are carryovers from VB6 and before. Is the use of these functions frowned upon in VB.Net, or does it purely come down to personal preference?

I was wondering if there is a recommended text for the creation of custom controls? I know a few years ago this book was out: Developing Microsoft .NET Controls with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET (Pro Developer)
It was published in 2003 I think. I have a great deal of experience in VB but not in actual control development, so I don't need a primer on classes and properties and the like. Wondering if this would still be worth it? I never dove into this part of VB and .NET before.

My program requires the reading and writing to a file that is shared among all users of a system. Currently I keep this file (an XML configuration file) in the directory that my application is installed to, which is C:Program FilesSomething by default. On Windows 7 (and probably XP too, but I haven't checked), regular users cannot write to this file. While I could probably set permissions as needed in my installation program, I'd rather find a more appropriate place for this file.All users need to read and write to it. Doing some Googling turns up C:ProgramData for Windows 7, but XP doesn't create this folder. Is there a common place on both platforms? Finally, is there an environment variable I can query for it?

The basic setup is this: VB.NET application, using Windows.Forms, a parent form is shown and the user interacts with that. Now, I want to show a child form, modally, configure that form with data from the parent and have the user interact with that child form and then return information to the parent code.Here is one approach that I have used, but it is a bit awkward. Parent has this code:
Dim cf as Child_Form
Dim initdata(3) As Byte
' Set up initdata[code].....

I'm just starting out learning C# this may be really simple but in VB i have these namespaces
<%@ import Namespace="System.Data" %>
<%@ import Namespace="System.Globalization" %>
<%@ import Namespace="System.Data.SqlClient" %>
How do I go about using those namespaces in C#?
I tried
namespace System.Data
and
using System.Data
but they didn't work

I have a SQL 2008 Express database, which have following tables: [code] Now I need SQL query to search for word (i.e. Beyonce Halo Music Video) against these tables.
-For Title exact phrase will get 0.5 points
-For Description exact phrase will get 0.4 points
-For tags exact phrase will get 0.3 points
-For title all words will get 0.2 points
-For description all words will get 0.2 points
-For title one or more words will get 0.1 points
-For description one or more words will get 0.1 points
And I will show these videos on basis of points. What will be the SQL Query for this? A LINQ query will be more better.

I'm writing in VB.net 4.0 and using SQLExpress 2008 R2. In a DataGridView, I would like to display (no edits) data coming from multiple tables in my database.A second Grid (different data, still multiple tables) will need to allow editing and saving of data.I understand creating a View in the database and using that as a source for the DataGridView.I also assume that there are ways to query and create a data source for the Grid totally within my VB program.Would someone explain the consequences and implications of the different approaches?

I am allowing users of the admin panel of my website to upload photos, its a simple process where I check the validity of the image and then save it to a folder, then I also have to record a couple of database records for that image to be able to retrieve it later, my saving function is as follows...The function that uploads and saves the picture in the folder with a name i construct in another function: [code] and the function that creates the database record for that same picture: [code] Now I know that what I am doing is full of best-practices violations, so please point me out to what I should do, keep in mind that the users might delete the pictures later, so I wanna make sure that I can delete the database and file of the picture, and the whole issue of the path.

What is the best practice while working with dataset amd datatable.Actually I have seen that very few information is online when it comes to working with multiple base table.Suppose there is one master table and a details table. The need of MASTER table is suppose just one column (say ProductName), while the application mainly works with the DETAILS table.My idea, we use JOIN to create a single datatable and work with it. But am surprised how little information is available when it comes to working with Multiple Base Table and the limitation of SQLCOmmandBuilder in such situation.

What is the best practice way of detecting internet connection?
From Windows Vista onwards, a status is set in windows that is displayed in the task bar. However, I cannot call this function/api/whatever, since some of the client pc's are still on xp, and only due for upgrade in 18 months.
so do i use and request something like [url]... to try and see it it works, and on the catch block set the return value to false, or is there another way?
Second part of this question, If no network connection is available, I can use [url]... to dial a connection. Will this use internet explorer's settings, or dial the connection marked as default in DUN?

In C#, if you do this, it will compile:
namespace Name
{
public class Test
{
[code]....
I get (depending on the way I try to use "Test") either "'Name' is not a member of '<Default>'." or "Type 'Name.Test' is not defined." in my error list. I've found two ways to make it work, but neither are reasonable to expect of a user. One is to remove the "Root Namespace" from the project properties. The other is to include that namespace between "Global" and "Name".
I have made a custom tool that uses CodeDom to generate code for both C# and VB.NET. This is the reason why neither of the two fixes above are feasible: I can't expect my users to have an empty root namespace, and I'd hate to have to do VB-specific tricks in my code generation (kind of defeats the purpose of using a language-neutral tool, doesn't it?) such as picking out the "Root Namespace" (not that I'd know how off the top of my head) and including it in my code generation.
I don't want to leave out the global modifier either, because it protects the tool from users picking bad names for the generated output. Does anybody have a suggestion for how I should deal with this?

Is something like this possible?
Namespace Transaction, Document
Class Signer
Public Sub New()
[Code].....
I basically want to be able to instantiate the Signer class from either Namespace. The reason is that I mistakenly set it up in the Transaction class and need to migrate it over to the Document class without breaking existing legacy code. I'd prefer to not have the same Signer class duplicated in both Namespaces if possible.

I need to share variables across two forms in vb.net. One of them is the main form and the other is a child form.
Create a static/shared variable in one of the forms and access it in the other forms via:
Form1 frm = new Form1(); //creating object of parent to access shared variable
frm.a = "abc"; // passing value
Send an instance of the main form to the child form when creating the child form. The variables can then be accessed via a property function. Create global variables in a module. This seems like the easiest option, but I doubt it is the best option.I also read something about delegates and events, but I don't know how to implement this.
