Refer To An Object By Its Name?
Jun 18, 2012
Is there a possible way to refer an object through it's name in Vb.Net?The case is, I have menu items created in my designer with names such as MenuA, MenuB and MenuC.On the database, I created a table consisting the list of all available menus in string format : MenuA, MenuB all the way to MenuZ.
Also I created a dynamic table consisting the user permission, what menu is accessible by a certain user.So when I started the app, it will get the name of menu assigned to the logged user, and start to turn the Visible property to TRUE.If it was a Control, I would just loop through it by Parent.Controls.Find(FoundMenu, True).My problem is most of it is not a control, it is an Item added to the Control, or even another SubItem added to the Item.So how can I found an object in my UI only by it's name?
SearchQuery = "SELECT menu_name FROM tbl_menulist menu, tbl_user user WHERE menu.id_menu = user.id_menu"
QueryReader = ExecuteQueryReader(SearchQuery)
QueryReader.Read()

I hope the question makes sense, anyways. I'm looking to know if in VB.NET, when we call an object's constructor, is there some kind of a reference that points back to the caller? I'm interested because of a corner case where I want the object being created to first be able to validate the existence of some data in the caller before it allows itself to be created. If this validation fails, I plan on throwing an exception. This corner case will never happen at runtime unless the object being created is used improperly by a programmer. The object being created is not inheriting the object I want it to validate, so I can't do anything with the MyBase qualifier.
It's bit of a "future-proofing" issue that I have a (bad) habit of doing. Not critical -- I can always leave stern comments behind as a last resort. Wanted to know if this was possible.

I am doing a calculator project.In the given code below I want to modify the line txtDigitPanel.Text = Trim(txtDigitPanel.Text) + "0" as txtDigitPanel.Text = Trim(txtDigitPanel.Text) + this.text (the word 'this' is taken as a reference to the object that has invoked the event ) to avoid hardcoding. Because when I copy the BtnZero, the same code will work for other digits also. Is it possible?
Private Sub BtnZero_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If Len(Trim(txtDigitPanel.Text)) < 15 Then
txtDigitPanel.Text = Trim(txtDigitPanel.Text) + "0"[code]....

Is there a way to reference an object by using the value of a string read from a text file? Here's an example of what I mean: I have a user control called 'Fish', one called 'Cats', and one called 'Dogs' and so on....

I have a label testlabel. is there some way I can refer to it as:
dim t as string = "testlabel"
(something here referring to the OBJECT with the same name as the string).text = "mytext"
? I have 50 labels with text to change and would love to be able to:
for i = 1 to 50
dim t as string = "testlabel" & i
convertsomehow(t, label).text = "mytext"
next
so that this would change testlabel1, testlabel2, testlabel3, ... , testlabel50.

I'm using win7 64bit + express 2010. in the program, I need refer to Microsoft HTML Object Library. So, I added it, then I found, it can not be "copy local". I remeber it could before when I use oit on vista + 2008.
Now, the question is: how can I include it in the setup? since some users may not have this dll on their pc.

I have a bunch of string variables, string1, string2, string3 etc.At the end of my program I want to write these strings to a file, but I don't want to have to laboriously type out string1, string2, string3 etc.
It would be much easier to use a loop to dynamically refer to (string & loopcounter), ie reference the variable by dynamically concatenating its name from a string and a number. Python can do this with eval(). How does VB do it? I can think of loads of examples where it'd be useful. Otherwise I have to type out all the different conditions and that's not efficient.

Im working on a project and just wanted to know to make a control refer to itself?I know that by using the word "Me", the system refers to the form but how about the control. I know that i can simply name the control (e.g. txtSurname.Clear) but if i was to use the code on multiple controls it would save alot of time if the control could simply refer to itself!

In VB 2010, I am trying to use this query, but I always get an error message because the numerical variable CHAVE is not correctly called. STATUS and HISTORICO are string type fields, that will be filled by the string variables SITUACAO and DESCRICAO.DIA is a date type field and will be filled by the date type variable PROXIMA.CHAVE is a numerical field and should be filled by the numeric variable CHAVE.
sql = " INSERT INTO " & conta & " (status,dia,chave,historico)" & _
" VALUES ('" & situacao & "', #" & Format(proxima, "M/d/yy") & "#, & chave &, '" & descricao & "') "

How do I refer to a form in my project by using a string variable? I'm running Visual Studio 2008.My main screen has a number of dropdown menus that, when an item is selected, a form will open:
Dim Mdi_frm_Doors As New frm_Doors Mdi_frm_Doors.MdiParent =Mdi_frm_Doors.Show()In this example, I am providing the name of the form directly (frm_Doors). What I would like to do is refer to the form as a string variable.I'm already doing something similar to access specific controls on other open forms (where str_Field is the name of the control I am accessing):

I'd like to know if it is possible to refer to section of an array. e.g.
dim a(10) as integer
foo(<reference to array a starting at item 2>) 'only use items 2 to 9 of the array
...
sub foo(byref a() as integer)
<do something with array>
end sub
Note that I don't want to copy the array to a new array or pass in indices, if I can avoid doing so. Subroutine foo should be able to process the array without knowing if it gets the whole array or just a section.

I have a bizarre vb.net problem.I'm working with a 3rd party library with a namespace called Telerik.Webcontrols. The library is in a web site project that I am in the process of converting to a web application project.
Telerik.WebControls contains a class called RadAjaxControl.In the original web site project, I have code that looks like this:
public sub page_load(...)
dim foo as Telerik.Webcontrols.RadAjaxControl
Once I convert to a web application project, it says that Telerik.Webcontrols doesn't exist.
However, the truly bizarre thing is that the following code does compile:
imports Telerik.WebControls public sub page_load(...)dim foo as RadAjaxControl
