.NET I want to clone a value type's fields. How can i set a field value on a value type using reflection (or something else dynamically)?
This works for reference types but not for value types. I understand why but I don't know an alternative.
shared function clone(of t)(original as t) as t
dim cloned as t
'if class then execute parameterless constructor

I cannot get the following to work for me: its the section that sets the default for system.data.linq.binary. The database I work with doesn't allow nulls in any field. So I generally run my buffer through this routine to populate defaults and then set the real values independently, (this works when I miss a field). I can set the Linq table field = fakeBinary and it works like a charm. Thus, I don't understand why using reflection can't pull of the same thing.
Ex: Me.CM20500WindowBuffer.Reconcile_Messages = New Byte() {0} works.
Try
Dim fakeBinary As System.Byte() = {0}
For Each fld In nObj.GetType().GetProperties
Select Case fld.PropertyType
Case GetType(Byte)

I have this code to get the default constructor:
Public Function f(ByVal t As System.Type) As Object
Return t.GetConstructor(New System.Type() {}).Invoke(New Object() {})
End Function
I need to pass values to the Constructor as
Public Function f(ByVal t As System.Type) As Object
Return t.GetConstructor(New System.Type() {someInteger,someString,etc.etc}).Invoke(New Object() {})
End Function
Also I have 3 classes of Type T, with all having different parametric constructor. It's important for me to have it generic as the Classes of type T might increase in future with less or more parameters.
I'm trying to create an object Of a specific type. I've got the following code, but it fails because it can't cast the new table object to the one that is already defined. I need table to start of an IEnumerable type so I can't declare is an object.

I'm attempting to dynamically register entities and configurations with a context (ef4 code-only). I would normally do:
Private Shared Sub ConfigureDatabase(ByRef Builder As ContextBuilder(Of ContextExtension))
'Load configurations for each of the tables (Entity sets) in our database...
ConfigureEntity(Builder, New ContactConfig)
End Sub
Private Shared Sub ConfigureEntity(Of T)(ByRef Builder As ContextBuilder(Of ContextExtension), ByVal config As EntityConfiguration(Of T), ByVal setName As String)
'Register the entity configuration with the builder
Builder.Configurations.Add(config)
'Register the entity set name with the builder
Builder.RegisterSet(Of T)(setName)
End Sub
Where ContactConfig is a class which inherits EntityConfiguration(Of Contact) and Contact is a class which implements an interface IEntity (IEntity is common to all entities). So... I need to search a namespace (say Project.DB.Client) for all signatures that match:
EntityConfiguration(Of <Class which implements IEntity>)
How can I achieve this?
I'm trying to check if a variable has been defined as a nullable Guid. eg.
Dim myGuid As Nullable(Of Guid) or Dim myGuid As Guid?
It seems doing a myGuid.GetType returns the underlying type, that is type Guid, not Guid?. So testing myGuid.GetType Is GetType(Guid?) always returns False.How do I find out if myGuid is a nullable type?
Ed: I can do the following, which correctly returns True for "Guid?" and False for "Guid":
Not Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(GetType(Guid?)) Is Nothing
The problem is that I don't know how to retrieve the nullable type from the variable itself, in order to test it. I've only been able to get the underlying (non-nullable) system type.
I've written a db helper function. I pass it an object comprised of public members, representing the row data of a table. The members are the table columns.Using reflection, I loop through these public members to create an INSERT statement for a command object and populate its parameters with the values in those members. So far so good.But now there's a table which has a uniqueidentifier column which I must not populate from the row object, as it defaults to "NEWID()" (using SQL Server 2008). Instead of skipping all Guid columns, which would be easy, I only want to skip ones defined in the row data class as "Guid" (non-nullable).Basically, I'm using the Guid? (Nullable) type to indicate it's ok to populate that uniqueidentifier column with data. If it's non-nullable, that tells me to skip it because the column has a NEWID() default value.
I'm passing a type name and some parameters from C# code into a navigation framework written in VB. The navigation framework looks for a constructor on the type that matches the parameters passed in using Type.GetConstructor(Types()). The constructor that I'm looking for expects an array of integers Integer() in vb. But it gets an array of System.Int32. I've gone so far as to try this:
[Code]...
And the VB code still sees System.Int32 on the other end, which means that it doesn't find the constructor.
I am pulling data from a local MSSQL database using a stored procedure, then send the data to a web service. Every part of the component works well except for a pesky problem will a DBNull being returned from the DataRow field, when I know that the field is not null and has valid data. The database and associated INSERT statements that add to this field are designed to not allow NULL entries. When I debug break the program on or right before the line that throws the error I see that the field has valid data for the current row.If I add a null check to the code (as below) the operation continues as normal:
Dim dataResultsTable = Me.myViewTableAdapter.GetData(int)
For Each myDataRow In dataResultsTable.Rows
If worker.CancellationPending Then

Why is the read operation returning DBNull instead of the data in the database?
EDIT: Just to be clear, the operation does return the proper data, but the data is not being saved into the variable.

I 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.

View 4 RepliesI've got a custom NumericEditor control that has a nullable Decimal property called Value. When I bind a data field to Value, I'd like to retrieve the underlying Type of the data that's bound, so that I can restrict the use of decimal places if the source field is an integral data type.I figure I'd have to do this in the BindingContextChanged event, but how do I get the Type of the data field from the binding itself? My Google-Fu is failing me at the moment.
In short, I'm looking for something like the GetValueType method mentioned in the following question: Simple databinding - How to handle bound field/property change. Winforms, .Net I imagine this method would also be handy if the Value property was an Object.
I have an vCard application that needs to read vCard Data, and have found a RegularExpression which gets the FieldName, Encoding and FieldValue from the file, here it is below:
^(?<FIELDNAME>[w-]{1,})(?:(?:;?)(?:ENCODING=(?<ENC>[^:;]*)|CHARSET=(?<CHARSET>[^:;]*))){0,2}:(?:(?<CONTENT>(?:[^
]*=
){1,}[^
]*)|(?<CONTENT>[^
]*))
This Regular Expression Reads these kind of values fine:
ORG:Company
FN;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE;CHARSET=UTF-8:RoguePlanetoid
However I want it to read these values also
TEL;WORK;VOICE:0200 0000000
Without skipping them. How can I modify the RegularExpression so TEL;WORK;VOICE ends up as part of the "FIELDNAME" and 0200 0000000 is part of the "CONTENT".I am unfamiliar with complex RegularExpressions and cannot figure out how to modify it, there is a regular expression that gets these:
^(?:TEL)([^:]*):(?<TEL>[^
]*)
However it only gets the FieldName as "TEL" and I need the whole value for this so I can tell the numbers apart in my application.If possible the Regular Expression would read the WORK and VOICE elements also like the CHARSET and ENCODING in the current regular expression, so they can treated like an Attribute and Type for example, however anything which allows the Regular Expression to read the whole TEL;WORK;VOICE as the FIELDNAME will be fine.
Edit
^(?<FIELDNAME>[^:]{1,})(?:(?:;?)(?:ENCODING=(?<ENC>[^:;]*)|CHARSET=(?<CHARSET>[^:;]*))){0,2}:(?:(?<CONTENT>(?:[^
]*=
){1,}[^
]*)|(?<CONTENT>[^
]*))
Reads up to the first Colon which covers the Whole FieldName, however it would be nice to store each SemiColon Element in a seperate item such as ATTRIBUTE or TYPE.
