VB2010 Accepting Pointer To Sub As Argument?

Jun 23, 2011

I want to pass the address of a sub as a callback to another method. From what I can find, a function is passed using the format:

Public Sub test(ByRef callback as Func(ArgClass, ReturnClass))

The thing is, as mentioned, I don't want to pass it a function but a sub. There doesn't seem to be an equivalent class Sub which will stand in place of Func, and it won't allow me to set the return class as nothing, so I'm somewhat stumped. How should this problem be solved?

How To Access A DLL Function Having A Void Pointer Argument

Jan 4, 2012

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?

Unmanaged DLL Structure Conversion (unsigned Char Pointer)

Oct 28, 2009

I'm making a "wrapper" for an unmanaged DLL (written, I'm fairly certain in C). I have a c++ "wrapper" that I'm trying to convert to VB.net. I've got most of the program working, but I've hit a brick wall.

I'm trying to convert the following two structures from their c++ versions to their vb.net versions. I cannot be sure which is the problem because both must be passed at the same time. The error I am getting is thrown by the object and indicates "Invalid structure size specified". I can cause this error on other objects when I either don't set the dwSize variable, leave off a parameter or change the parameter type incorrectly. Note that the dwSize parameter is supposed to contain the size of each structure. I'm successfully calculating that for my other structures and I'm using the same method on these and the results appear correct, so I do not believe the problem is found there. The object uses a lot of structures and the rest of them are working. These two are the only ones with a) an unsigned character pointer b) an unsigned long array and c) doubles.

C++ versions:

CODE:

I don't think I'm missing any parameters - the help file seems to agree with me on this, but it's theoretically possible that there is something missing (though I don't think so for other reasons as well). My suspicion is that it's dwPalette, pImageData or pMaskData with (in my uninformed opinion) more suspicion on the pImageData and pMaskData.

Class Structure - Large Structure That Has Lots Of Properties ?

Jan 5, 2010

I'm new to VB 2008 after having spent a long time with VB6, so I apologize if this is a stupid question. But I'd really like to have this straightened out.

Let's say I have a pretty large structure that has lots of properties.

Code:

Now say that I want an internal database with about 10 instances of this structure total, describing, say, 10 different products that a store sells. When these values are loaded from a database, they remain totally static. (However, they can be different each time a program loads)

Now say that I have a class. Each instance of this class is a type of that BaseProduct structure. Meaning, each instance of the class pertains to one of the 10 types of products that the store sells. However, this class has additional properties that pertain specifically to each instance, which are not static.

Code:

Now, the problem here is... If I have 200 different transactions, each one contains an instance of BaseProduct. BaseProduct is HUGE, and is largely redundant (only 10 types possible), so I think it's a little silly to include a whole copy of it with EVERY transaction. However, the Transaction class really needs information regarding the base product it pertains to. Is there a way to, instead of declaring a New BaseProduct in the Transaction class, to simply make one of the properties of the Transaction class a pointer to a BaseProduct variable?

In VB6, I would accomplish this by making a BaseProduct(10) array, and then giving each Transaction an ID number referring to an entry in that array. But in VB 2008, using class structure, this is impossible. I can't define the BaseProduct(10) array outside of a class in a namespace, and if I define it in the actual application's form, then the class loses modularity since it relies on the application that's using it.

VS 2005 What Can Use Instead Of A Pointer

May 1, 2010

I understand there are no pointers in VB.Net. I need to use something similar.The issue is that I have a structure that represent a deck of cards, with elements showing how many of each type of card there is. So I have my_deck.ace, my_deck.two, and so on.What I want to do is set a pointer called current_element that refers to any element in the structure. It may one time point to my_deck.three, and another time to my_deck.nine, and so on. It could point to any element.What I want to do is, for instance to set current_element to point to my_deck.ace, then decrementing current_element would reduce the count of aces by one.[code]that would work, but it's inelegant, I have about 30 different operations to perform, some of them using several lines of code. I'd like to avoid this if at all possible. I could tolerate doing it 2 or 3 times, but not 30.

Compiled C Dll Can't Set Pointer When Called From ASP.NET App?

Dec 10, 2009

I've got a 3rd party C application that's compiled to a non-.NET non-COM DLL. It has one simple function declared like so: Declare Function CapiTaxRoutine Lib "taxcommono.dll" (ByVal sInData As String, ByVal OutputData As String, ByVal intINPutLength As Long) As Integer

If I place the taxcommono.dll in my path (C:WindowsSystem32 is what I'm using because it's what the vendor recommends),I can wire up a call to the function and it works just fine.It returns a 1 or 0 for success/failure, but it also sets the value of the OutputData string parameter (using some C pointer magic I'm not familiar with) to a huge fixed width format return record that has the data I need.When I call it from a .NET .exe application, it works just fine.When I try to call it from an ASP.NET application via a referenced compiled .NET wrapper DLL, it runs but can't set that string.In order to get it to run, I can't have taxcommono.dll in my path, but rather have to place it in my Bin directory of the web project.Does anyone know of a reason it can set the pointer when called from an .exe application but not when called from a web app?The .NET wrapper DLL I'm using works when called from our ERP software, which is not web based. But when I add a reference to that same DLL in the web app, it won't give me that output value.am used to just getting a return value instead of a function setting the value of one of my input parameters.

Object Properties Via Pointer?

I would like one loop where I can assign the data to the correct text box, set it visible and set the label visible. I can not figure out how to do this in VB, or know if it is even possible.

Here is an example of what I would like to do

Dim i As Long = 1
Dim textbox As String = "textbox"

I would also like to do this to hide all the items on the form in the on load event.

Pointer - Rewrite A C++ Library

Jan 4, 2012

I'm trying to rewrite a C++ library. But I have an issue. I'm not extremely pointer-savvy. In the C++ class there is a std::vector that holds unsigned int pointers (vector<unsigned int*>), and the int pointer just points to an array of integer data.

Here is the C++ code I'm a bit unsure about:

unsigned int* relocation = m_relocations.front();
m_relocations.pop();
unsigned int* reloc = *(unsigned int **)relocation;
