[2008] Base Class Inherited By 2 Derived Classes
Jan 30, 2009i've finally got round to learning about classes and inheritance, but i'm not sure how to proceed. i have a base class Employee, which is inherited by 2 derived classes. how do i use the same Employee class in both derived classes? obviously if i write a sub new for both of them + declare a new Employee class, they won't be using the same class. heres my Employee class:

Create A Enum Or Enum Type Functionality Witch Return String (enum Returns Int) In .net
Dec 30, 2009I have a URL lets say . some time i need to send HTTP and some time i need to send it to HTTPS for that i created a enum:
Private _protocol As Protocol
Enum Protocol
HTTP
HTTPS

Now when i get value back from protocoltype it returns me integer value as enum do so tell me how to get string from enum or other substitute.
Dim targetUri As String = setting.protocolType & "://www.mysite.com"
Returning A Inherited Class As Base Class Type With Web Services?
Sep 25, 2009I suspect I am being very silly here but I have the following setup
Class MustInherit myBaseClass
'some stuff
End Class
Class myInheritedClassA
[code]....
Running this results in the following error
Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidOperationException:
There was an error generating the XML document. --->
System.InvalidOperationException:
[code]....
is there any way of 'Widening' the inherited class to the base class so this would work?
EDIT:regarding XmlInclude(typeof inheritedClass), currently this method could potentially return a number of types of inherited class (i.e myInheritedClassA and myInheritedClassB) is it case of simply having to add each of the inheritedTypes in this tag?

Return An (Anonymous Type With A Function) From A Function?
Mar 3, 2011Just so it's known, this question is mostly academic, even though I tried to use the concept in a real-world solution. I realize the example is contrived, but I believe the concept is valid.I want to write some fluent code like this:
[code]...
I realize that I can't force an anonymous type into a specific type (like implementing an interface or some other class), and I don't want the overhead of defining a specific class just to match my desired fluent name with the actual method name. So I was able to make the code work like this:
copy(my_first_file).to.Invoke(my_second_file)So there is no IntelliSense or type awareness there, and I have to include the Invoke in order to have the method run. How can I get more type safety and exclude the Invoke method, under these constraints: Anonymous Type returned from Method No additional classes or interfaces Preferably, I do not want to pass in another parameter to the copy() method that tells what type to return, unless copy becomes a generic method (but I think that means defining another class/interface, which I don't want to do)

Mar 3, 2011I 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.

Function Without Return Type?
Dec 23, 2010In my project (which I inherited from someone) there are a lot of functions like:
Public Function DoSomething(ByVal s As String)
' Do something to public properties
End Function
And they are called like this:
DoSomething(s)
So the return value is ignored (which is object, as I see in the docs). Is it safe to change all these functions to Subs? Could I break something which isn't so obvious?
Differentiate Return Type Of A Function?
Mar 27, 2012I know a little about using a user specified type IE IIf(Of ReturnType)(ByVal expression as Boolean, ByVal TruePart As ReturnType, ByVal FalsePart As ReturnType) As ReturnType...Which works, however I've been trying to get this to work, but can't..
Protected Function InverseSign(Of ReturnType)(ByVal value As Double) As ReturnType
Dim result As String
Select Case Math.Sign(value)
Case -1: result = "+" & Math.Abs(value).ToString()
[code]....
Using try cast just gives me the error saying ReturnType has no class-constraints? whatever that means..But my goal here is to be able to return either a string or double.. However every method I've tried to convert my result string to the ReturnType doesn't work.I've also tried simply overloading the function, but I can't because they only differ by return type. So that didn't work either.

Inheritance (Private Overrides Function) - Create A Class And All Other Classes Inherit From It And Modify It A Bit
Oct 15, 2011I am cleaning up some code and I have multiple classes that are 99% exactly the same. So my understanding is that my options are...
1. Create a class and all other classes inherit from it and modify it a bit
2. Create an abstract class and all classes inherit from it and modify a bit ** I took this route
3. Create an interface and all classes Implement that interface.
Here is my 'original' class below (the one that all of them look 99% identical). This class is used in an arraylist so I have a listing of all my images from a folder I have searched.

Asp.net - .Net Iniatialising A Class Using System.Reflection And System.Type To Create A Session Based Singlton Extension Method
Jun 11, 2009I have had several occasions recently to access a specific class several times over a relatively small time frame.So I've been storing the value of the class in Session and trying to access it on page load, if it's not available creating a new instance and storing that in session.
So instead of constantly replicating the same code for different classes on different pages I'm trying to create an extension method to do this for me.

I'm stuck on what to do when I make my new instance of my class (it would have to have a New() sub)
I'm not sure where to go from here... or even if this is the best way to do it.

There two possible return Type. I'm not sure what I should declare for the function return type.
Loose Typing - Created A Function With No Return Type
Jun 4, 2009I was playing with vb 2008 express and i created a function with no return type. Basically what it does is i specify a table name and a column name and it returns the value within but it doesn't type it until it gets to the calling variables type. So i have on function that i can use across all my tables.
Eg:
dim mydate as date = getvalue("tblSRs", "datelogged")
msgbox (mydate)
dim desc as String = getvalue("tblSRs", "description")
msgbox(desc)
Both return the correct values. were you always able to leave the typecasting till the end and whats the major downfall?
Customer Class - Return Array In Function?
Apr 12, 2009I have a class called Customer. It has some property like custID,custName..etc. Inside Customer class I have a function which returns an array of customer.
I wrote a function like this :
Public Function InitLoadCustomerDetails() As Customer()
sql = "SELECT* FROM tblCust"
ds = classDC.queryHandler(sql, "InitCustomerDetails")
Dim customerArray(classDC.maxrow - 1) As Customer
Dim currentCustomer As New Customer
[Code] .....
But it is not returning an array. Just a customer variable??
Public Function InitLoadCustomerDetails() As Customer()
Return customerArray
End Function
Fix this to return an array of customer!!
.net - Inherited Classes Returning Different Values?
Jun 25, 2010This is more of a conceptual question than anything.
I have a base class called "RawReader".
It sets up the framework for classes to inherit it and read in specific data systems.
For example, I want an app read in a known format of FoxPro database, a CSV file, or a SQL database (there is about 8 more formats currently), then transfer it over a webservice and create a SQL database from it.
I have everything working with CSV, FoxPro, Access, Excel, etc... Easy enough.
The classes that inherit RawReader, like RawCSV, RawFoxPro, RawAccess all return a struct that contains a dataset as one of the members. The dataset contains the data from the raw system. The webservice receives this struct and creates sql tables and loads the data into it. This has already been coded and works great.
My issue now comes to reading in SQL. Obviously, I could follow the same path, read the remote SQL DB into a dataset, transfer the dataset as above, etc... My "issue" comes in where I feel like it doesnt make much sense to transfer a SQL db to a dataset, transfer it through the webservice, and then try to programmatically recreate the SQL database. I feel like I lose a lot of the granular details from the SQL database (field sizes, extended info, etc..) It seems easier in practice to just create a backup of the database, convert it to a stream object and transfer the backup over to the webservice. But this is where the problem lies...
Since all of the classes inherit from the base class, they are set up to return a DataSet. The hack-ish way would be to just add a stream object to the return struct and in my webservice add other code to make a special case for SQL sources, but I was trying to avoid that.
Any thoughts on the "proper" way to go about something like this?

VS 2010 Structure Classes So That The User Interfaces Though A Single Class While The Supporting Classes Are Hidden From Their View?
Jun 13, 2012How 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:
interface.Economic.MyMethod
interface.Currency.MyMethod
etc
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.
.net - Apply Common Codes In Inherited BaseEdit For Inheriting Classes - In Order To Build A Read Only User?
Feb 20, 2012In businesslayer, there is a inherited Class Called BaseEdit which contains contractor and base properties. There are about 30 CustomEdit (inheriting classes), all of them has methods "Load","Save" and "Delete". The require for this existing system is to add a readonly user. Possible solutions considering the cost of works:
1) Modify the BaseEdit so all CustomEdit can stay the same. The system will check 'user role' in session by using httpcontext then to accept or reject the user's action.
