I have an interface that describes an specialized list in my application...
[Code]....
Is there a way to make an interface serializable, or am I going to have to convert each of my objects into a concrete class implementing the interface, and then return that class?
I've got 3 forms that have exactly the same functions, so I decided to create an interface.
public Interface IExample
public sub Add()
Public sub Edit()
[code]....
At this point, objfrmExample is now instantiated, even though I've not done a "objfrmExpample = new [what-goes-here?] " and I'm curious as to why.I could possibly guess that because you cannot instantiate an interface variable, then vb.net automatically creates an instance. But thats just a guess. The question is , what is meant by declaring a variable of type Interface, and how does it work?
Here is the structure that I have:
Friend Class StandardFormatFile
Friend fileType As String
Friend numberOfSeries As Integer

After reading all the examples for list of T exists and Find and find first, none show how to handle multi-property objects. Below is bare bones example maybe someone could flesh out to show how this should be done.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim DatePriceList As New List(Of DateAndPrice)
DatePriceList.Add(New DateAndPrice(Date.Parse("1/1/2000"), 10.12))
DatePriceList.Add(New DateAndPrice(Date.Parse("1/2/2000"), 11.12))

I am having some trouble creating an object array of different object types. Here is what I have so far:
Public Sub New()
Dim b1 As New Book("Book Title 1", "Gold Book Publisher", 1.0, "Bob Jones", "192DJDJD212", "01/02/10")
Dim b2 As New Book("Book Title 2", "Gold Book Publisher", 1.0, "Bob Jones", "192DJDJD212", "01/02/10")
Dim b3 As New Book("Book Title 3", "Gold Book Publisher", 1.0, "Bob Jones", "192DJDJD212", "01/02/10")
[code]....
If I define the array As Book (Public publicationArray(6) As Book) or Magazine (Public publicationArray(6) As Magazine) I am able to access the properties of that class but not both. I think I need to define a type for each array instance but not sure how to do this.
I am working in VB.net and have a Class, Foo, that implements an interface, IBar.I have a List of Foo's, but I need to pass a list of IBar's into a function, but I keep getting casting errors, even when I use DirectCast.My code is [code]MainWorks works, but it would be really annoying and inefficient to have to do that everywhere I want to call this function.
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to make a .dll that contains a lot of basic functionality that a program can use. Currently i am trying to use interfaces to make a lot of this functionallity independend of the program using it but i hit a snag. The Basic idea is that a programmer will create his own object using the interface discribed in my .DLL file. Then implements those functions as he likes. He can then instanciate a controller (found in the same DLL) and sends his custom object implementing the interface to that Controller. The controller can then be started and will take over all the work. I do not know what type of object is send to the controller and idealy i want to program it in such a fashion that i shouldn't care as long as the object send implements that interface.In code I am trying to achieve the following: (quite simplyfied)
.Dll:
Code:
Public Interface MyInterface '<----Decleration of the interfaceFunction GetData() As Integer
Function SetData(Data As Integer)
end interface
[code]....
this propperly. I know that the second i set the interface adaptor in the Controller VS comes nagging that it can not be converted to a "MyInterface" Class. Obviously i am doing something wrong. I can change the datatype that the controller expects to the "MyController" type but that would completely ruin the whole idea of flexibillity. I am hoping someone sees what i am trying to do and can point out where i made the thinking error.
I'm working up a system where I plan on using RealProxy objects to enable intercepting method calls against a set of objects, handling the call, and then returning appropriate results. This works just find for simple return types like strings or ints, but I can't seem to return objects from the RealProxy.Invoke method. Everything works. I get no errors, but the returned value is always NOTHING, instead of an object.
I've worked up the smallest sample code I could, and have included it below. Essentially, just call RPtest and single step through. The code creates a simple object, RPTestA, with a string field and an object valued field It then retrieves the string

I am somewhat new to object oriented programming and am attempting to flatten a Linq object hierarchy by using a shim class.how to initalize a derived class with property values from a base class?I have two objects, a base object with about 100 properties, and a derived object which inherits from the base object and adds a few additional properties beyond those of the base object. My simple constructor creates the derived object, but I am looking for a way to initialize the derived object properties with values from the base object.Right now I am using reflection to iterate over the properties individually and I suspect there may be a better way. The following example shows my shim class constructor for the derived class, and two properties:
newProperty1 - a new string property of the derived class
flattenedProperty2 - a new string property of the derived class, copied from a 2nd-level object of the base class
Code example:
Public Class derivedObj
Inherits baseObj
Private _newProperty1 As String[code].......
Is this the correct constructor approach to flatten the object hierarchy using a shim class? My second question relates to initialization of properties in the derived class. The constructor above creates the derived object, but what is the best way to initialize the derived object properties with values from the base object? The following code uses reflection to iterate over the properties individually, but I suspect there may be a better way.
Code example:
' property names are in the string array fieldNames
'baseObjQuery is an ienumerable of baseObj
'derivedObjList is a list of derivedObj[code].....
Is there a simple way to initialize values for the properties in the derived object based upon the values of the common properties in the base object?
The last line in the code below throws the error. Is it because I haven't intialized the size of the byte array?
Public Class Form1
Private toSocket_IPP As Byte()
Public Sub New()

I keep on getting a error "object not set to an instance of an object" i am puzzled by this since there are no errors until i run the program. I redim the array. the build is fine. the exception is handled. and the structures and "dims are all global"

I have an object that inherits from an interface. I can create and return the following:
Dim o As IRequest
o = New Request
Return o
This works fine. Now I want to return a List(Of Requests), so I try the following:
Dim o As List(Of IRequest)
o = New List(Of Request)
Return o
The error below is being given on o = New List(Of Request)
System.Collections.Generic.List(Of MyObjects.Request)' cannot be converted to System.Collections.Generic.List(Of MyInterfaces.IRequest)'.Consider using 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable(Of MyInterfaces.IRequest)'
I have a class i've called "buttons", which passes in 1 variable, the button text, and then returns a new button with that text. however, i do not know how to get the class, when called to return a button.
similar to how 'toString' works, except it would return a button object instead of a string. (im not sure how toString works in vb.net. in java it is automatically called when you call the new class, so newclass and newclass.toString(); return the same) [code]...
way to return an object.
For example.

Public class objProps
Property ORDERNUM() As String

I'm trying to return an object from a function. E.g. Ive got a function populateDog that returns Dog. So in my aspx class I want to be able to be able to pass in Lassie as the name of the dog(I have a dog class) and have the function return the object with the data it populated. [Code] The idea was to have a database and I would eventually pass in an ID to query results and return it.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on learning VB.Net after having programmed in VB6, VBA, and VBScript for several years. I'm assuming that something that begins with the letter I is an interface. However, a lot of places I see people/documentation referring to what appears to be class objects that begin with I. I guess I'm under the impression that Interfaces are contracts that class objects can agree to.

I have an object parameter and I need to check if the object implements a specified interface in vb.net. How to test this?
View 2 RepliesI was wondering if there's a way I can make my objects return their own variable name as a string, something like this:

Is this possible? I'm fairly sure it should be possible through the System.Reflection namespace, but I can't figure it out.
I 'm new to programming and to vb. So my question could be from misconception about what can i do. How can i pass a string to a "procedure" and get in return a object whith the same name as the string?
View 8 RepliesI'm needing to go through all the controls on a page, looking for a specific one. We've got a bunch of user controls, a masterpage, content panel, &c.
The basic idea is simple, but once I find the control I want, say five 'layers' in, the control is returned only one level.
I know I can do something cheesy like having a private variable and assigning the control to that down in the rabbit hole, but I figure there must be a more official method of doing this.[code]...

I have an interface, for the sake of argument called MyInterface.I Have a Control Class, lets name it "Parent" that implements MyInterface.I have another Control Class that inherits Parent, called "Child".I have a final Control Class lets call it "Container", that accepts dragging the parent onto it.[code]I want to modify this not to only accept Parent, but to accept ANYthing that implements MyInterface. I can't figure out how the heck to get it to work. Even more confusing, if I drag the child onto Container, with the code as it is above(checking to see if a Parent was dropped), GetDataPresent always returns false. I would figure it would work, since Child inherited parent.[code]But it bombs and GetDataPresent returns false whether I dragged a Parent or a Child. I'm being an idiot somewhere..
View 1 RepliesI have a base class called Schedule and three classes inherited: DailySchedule, WeeklySchedule, MontlySchedule. Now I would like to build a form in which users can modify the schedule and I have to compile different parts of it depending on whether the schedule is daily, weekly or monthly. Then I want to have back the schedule modified. Which object can I use on the form?
I thought to implement on the base class an interface iSchedule and to pass the interface to the form, but when I'm on the form constructor how can I cast the interface to the correct class? e.g. in the form constructor I will have a sched variable as iSchedule, I can see that, for example, is a DailySchedule from an interface property called Type. But how can I cast the interface to an instance of the DailySchedule class and to access to its members?
I use the IsAssignableFrom-method to check if the datasource of a bindingsource-object implements an interface i defined. The check happens inside the property-setter like this:
Private WithEvents _BindingSource As BindingSource

''' BindingSource containing datasource in which search is executed.
''' </summary>
''' <remarks>Datasource must implement ISearchAndFindable.</remarks>
<Description("The BindingSource to search within."), Category("Data")> _

I have to begin saying that I'm working with Visual Basic. The problem is that I have a Entity Framework object and I want to indicate that this object implements a interface, for example:
Public Interface ICatalog
Property created_at() As Date
Property id() As Long
End Interface
Those properties are allready in the object. In c# I've done this just by declaring a partial class of the object and indicates that implements that interface, but in basic is not working, I supouse that is because of the language sintaxis used to declare that a property is implementing some property of the interface, for example:Public Property created_at() As Date Implements ICatalog.created_at
