View 1 RepliesI have a Function that returns a struct in VB.NET:
CODE:
Where as in my struct I have two variables:
CODE:
When I try to populate the structure as shown above, I get an a nullvalue exception.
My brain may just be fried since it's the end of the semester, but my teacher kicked this back to fix and resubmit...she said that I am "returning the name of your function rather than your variable name".
Here is my code for all 3 forms.
code:
These are forms to calculate the cost of getting a cell phone package.
Public Class Form1 Public Declare Function GetModuleHandle Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetModuleHandleA" (ByVal lpModuleName As String) As IntPtr Public Declare Function GetProcAddress Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetProcAddress" (ByVal hModule As IntPtr, ByVal lpProcName As String) As IntPtr
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim hmod As IntPtr = GetModuleHandle(Nothing) 'Work Dim addrs As IntPtr = GetProcAddress(hmod , "TestFunction") 'Not work, always NULL why??
I need to access a DLL function which has a void pointer argument (probably written in C/C++). In VB6 it could be accessed by declaring the argument as 'Any'. VB2008/VB2010 does not know this variable type 'Any'.
I tried instead: Object, IntPtr, UIntPtr, Int32(), Long e.t.c. but there always occurs a compile error or a runtime error.I did a lot of Internet investigation but could not find any answer.
Is there a solution to this?
returning a function value? I have a simple function that returns an integer. This function works fine when executed in SQL Developer but, when called from my apps, it always returns 2 regardless of anything. I have checked it over and over again, I cant seems to find where I am going wrong.

Just come across the following snippet:
Public Function Checked() As Boolean
Return applyChange 'this is a string!
End Function
Whats going on here? How can a function with return type Boolean actually return a string? I'm assuming theres some implicit conversion going on here, which I'd rather not have.
I am hopeing someone can help me here with a recursive function I have that is not returning either true or false as I would have espected it to. The function loops through a Active Directory group for its members and then calls itself if it encounters any groups within the membership in order to gets its members as well. I am trying to return either true or false based on if any errors were encountered but not haveing any luck at all. It appears to just hang and never return back to the primary calling sub that starts the recursive function. Below is my code I am using:

If an object is created inside a function and the function returns that type of oject how is the memory handled.
Example:
Public Function GetEmployee(employeeid as integer) as employee
Dim oEmployee as new employee
oEmployee.FirstName="Bob"
[code]....
Does the variable that receive the object still a pointer to the memory location that was used inside the function?What about when you do a oEmployee2=oEmployee.Is oEmployee2 just a pointer? And any changes to oEmployee will now affect the other. Just trying to understand it from a memory perspective and how that scope works?

I am working on a project I would like to use a function in a class I created to return multiple values in order to populate a listbox. I wanted to use a do until loop to achieve this. I will just post a simplified example of what I am doing :
Public Function Listboxfiller
Dim astring As String = "This is a string"
Dim Counter as integer = 0
Do until Counter = 5
return astring
Counter += 1
Loop
Then on the form I would do something like :
lstListbox.Items.Add(Myclass.Listboxfiller)
What happens right now is that the listbox only gets the first value, when I ran through in debug mode I found the loop only runs once, even though it should go multiple times.
I'm trying to return changes to array data, including redimensioned arrays, from within a function call in code similar to:
fault = MyFunction(Array1, Array2)
Public Function MyFunction(ByVal inObj1 as UserStruture(), ByVal inObj2 and Integer(,)) as String
Dim myResult as String = "Failed"
Dim tmpStruct() as UserStructure = inObj1
[Code] .....
This works fine in updating the input array 'Array1', only when the redimensioning of tmpStruct is NOT performed. After redimensioning tmpStruct, the redimensioned array is passed back successfully into 'inObj1' within the function 'MyFunction', but is not passed out of the function call; i.e.
fault = MyFunction(Array1, Array2) -
The dimension of array 'Array1' out of the function call remains as it was before the function call. However, the data change; i.e.
tmpStruct(0).Nam = "New Name"
is passed successfully out of the function call.
Why the Redim operation is not passed back out of such function calls. I would like to return changes to arrays 'Array1' and 'Array2', plus a result string from the function call if I can. Furthermore, I would also like to change the dimension of the array within the function call, if required, and return the complete redimensioned array back out of the function call.
I want to return an object from a Function. I have used "set" as I should. However, I cannot access the damn object when I return it! Here is the code.

I have two functions in a class. One function returns a datatable, the other one returns a dataset. Both functions are identical except of the return type (Datatable or dataset). I would like to have only one function which returns either dataset or datatable depending on what the user of the class wants. How can I do this.
Following code shows my function returning a datatable:
