Variably Set Property Values?
Nov 1, 2010
I am still quite new to VB, and the whole OOP concept (Self-taught), I haven't coded in 30+ years, so I have a great deal to learn/relearn. I hope my ignorance is not too apparent.I'd like to set property values with the same names as the controls of a form to the value of the forms text (or checked or whatever) value. It appears that the 'Parent.Controls' statement below is doing what I want, but I can't seem to get this to work. I don't know if I should be using a structure for this, but I hope it demonstrates my intensions.

I've got a property MyEnumProp which is displayed in a property grid. The property is of type MyEnum. So all entries of MyEnum are available in the propertygrid to select.Now i have a second property and based on its value i want to limit the values available in the propertyGrid for MyEnumProp.Is there a way to accomplish this?For instance: The following 2 Enums are defined in an Interface:
Enum Country
England
France

I'm writing a custom user control for my asp.net site, for storing datetimes. It has two properties:
Private _includeTime As Boolean
Private _value As DateTime = Nothing
Public Property IncludeTime() As Boolean
[code]....
I call my custom control in this way:
<my:DateTimeInput runat="server" includetime="true" ID="txtWhen" />
This sets the includetime property correctly.In my backend code I also do this on page_load:
txtWhen.SelectedDateTime = now
When I step through with the debugger, I see that the property gets set, BUT when the page_load of the control itself loads, the property value is reset to nothing!
The page_load of the control:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
lbltime.Visible = IncludeTime
If SelectedDateTime().CompareTo(Nothing) > 0 Then
[code]....

I have an abstract user control(baseModule) that has a property that I plan on using a bitwise comparison on to determine what export types are supported by that module. In the designer of a module derived from baseModule, I am presented with a combobox with the ability to just select a single value (Html, Xml, etc.) I would like to be presented with a drop-down checked listbox so I could select which values I want.How can I accomplish this inside of VS2008? I've seen other properties support this.
Public Class ExportTypes
Public Enum ExportType
Html = 1
Xml = 2[code]......

I have a class called Item which contains all the information about all parts, finished goods, in process parts (parts made on site), purchased parts, and raw materials.
I have a Bill of Materials table which has the following columns (reflected in the BOM class)
ParentItem
ChildItem
ChildItemQty
Parent Items can only be Items which have subcomponents.
Child Items can be parts that are made on site, purchased parts that are bought ready made from other companies, or raw materials used to make a part that is made on site.
Parent Items and child Items both inherit the Items class.
I will limit the Parent item class to only items that are in the parent column of the BOM table. I believe I can limit that by doing a quick look up on a view which only shows the parent items.
I will limit the Child Item Class to only items that are in the child column of the BOM table. Same method to limit it by doing a quick look up on a view that shows only the child items.
That way, an instance of the BOM class will have all the detail information about any of it's components available whenever I need them.

I need to set property values with WMI but it doesn't work. For example:
obj = New System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem")
For Each objMgmt In obj.Get
objMgmt("description") = value
Next
That is supposed to set the computer description but it has no effects at all (and doesn't produce any exceptions). I can successfully retrieve value but I can't set it. The "description" property is supposed to be read and write, according to MS.

I have a custom control. I need to add a property, say, Comparison, to the control. The property should be set at design time using a dropdown. The Dropdown will have String values like '=','>','<' etc.
I tried using Enum values and working perfectly but I need to do some extra coding to convert the Enum values to the string I required. It would be great if I can get the values from the dropdown so that I can directly use the selcted value.

I create a class "Planet" that can be inherited. One of the purposes of inheriting is to create a template with different default property values. Eg:
Public Sub New
MyBase.New
MyBase.ForeColor = Red
[code]....
Now, to stop the defaults serializing in the InitializeComponent method, there are 2 ways:If I've implemented the properties using the 'DefaultValue' attribute, and made them overridable, the attribute can be overriden with the new value.The problem with this is, there's no way to just make just the attributes overridable, as opposed to the whole property.I could implement every property with protected Reset'PropertyName' and ShouldSerialize'PropertyName' methods. However, this is a bit of a pain in the arse.Is it, generally, an important consideration to ensure that someone who overrides your base class has the ability to change the default values of a property?

Does case 1 and case 2 yield same result, I mean is a private value necessarily in there?, can we use property itself to use its own value in its Set and get statements?

I thought I saw how to do this but can't seem to find it now.Is there a way to set the properties of all controls on a Form by Control Type?Meaning, if I have 5 textboxes on a form can I write code like .If page.contol is TextBox then
textbox.forecolor = Blue
Then when the page loads is sets all the textboxes forecolor on the form to Blue.

I'm trying to create an export Excel/CSV function that will iterate through a custom object and first output the property names and then output the values. I want to use reflection only where necessary so I'm attempting to save the property names when I output the headers and then reuse them to print the values. Is this possible? I'm a little weary of using reflection in a loop but is there a better way?

Is it possible to (or how can I) assign values to a class property array like this:
MyImgClass.RGB = (255,255,255)
I'm not sure how to build my Public Property setter to allow this, if it's possible at all.

I am trying to use several Class arrays to hold values that I will cycle through at a later point to perform some calculations. I need to change the array sizes to fit the data as it is entered. I am using one procedure to set the first element of each array and then a separate procedure to pass the additional values as they are entered.
Until my last attempt at changing my code, my StartBalance sub seemed to work, I could step through and see the values assigned to the class arrays in the code block. However, when it moved on to the Transaction sub, it did not recognize that the first set of values were set, the array shows zero values for index 1.
I have gone through several changes trying different ideas from reading blogs and articles, but I guess I am not understanding how these work. I even used the class arrays directly instead of the Property procedures to see if I would get a different result, but I do not.
I believe I must be approaching this incorrectly and though I can find dozens of examples of setting class variables and even a couple on using arrays as class variable, I can not find any that show how to then pass values to those arrays.
Public Class Statement
Private _tranDate(1) As Date
Private _amount(1) As Double

I've mainly been recording keystrok macros... I created visual basic code that allows the user of a template to hide table gridlines - which works fine. The code to show gridlines does not work if the table has only one row. Here is the code - it is getting "stuck" on the
.LineWidth = wd
LineWidth050pt for a horizontal border, as there isn't one. I don't know how to change the code to not execute the command if a horizontal border line does not exist.

I've created a custom user control that has several properties. One specifies which database I want the control to access. I want to be able to present the user of the control a drop down from which he can select which database the control will interact with. How do I get the dropdown to work? I can get default values, but have yet to figure out how to get the selectable list.

The problem is: I have a list of objects, with some containing the same PlanId property value. I want to only grab the first occurrence of those and ignore the next object with that PlanId. The root problem is a View in the database, but it's tied in everywhere and I don't know if changing it will break a ton of stuff nearing a deadline.
So, if I have a list of PlanObjects like such.
Plan1.PlanId = 1
Plan2.PlanId = 1
Plan3.PlanId = 2
Plan4.PlanId = 3
Plan5.PlanId = 4
Plan6.PlanId = 4
I want to take a sub-list from that with LINQ (italics mean an item is not included)
Plan1.PlanId = 1
Plan2.PlanId = 1
Plan3.PlanId = 2
Plan4.PlanId = 3
Plan5.PlanId = 4
Plan6.PlanId = 4
For my needs, it doesn't matter which one is taken first. The Id is used to update a datsbase record.

I'm having some very weird issues with interfaces right now.
I have a very simple setup. In one of my class, I have a Property implementing a Property from an Interface.
In my class it's like:
Private _oForm As IForm
Public Property Form As IForm Implements IContainer.Form
Set(value As IForm)
[Code]...
I have like dozens of interfaces like this working throughout my project and I can't believe this simple one can't work!

I created a program that has serval labels on a form and a listview object. It has a button that when clicked reads a textfile and loads up values in the listview object. I then can click and drag text from the listview box to any label on the form and then the program removes the value from the listview box. Now, my question is how can I instruct VB to save these values in the text property of the labels so that the next time the program is loaded the labels will contain the values loaded during the last run time session?

I have a custom form that I use instead of msgbox for a number of reasons. The initial reason was to keep the message centered on it's parent rather than the screen. There are many articles about this but I still have not found an elegant way to get access to the Parent's properties from inside the Child without passing them in (by one way or another).
In the child form the me.parent, me.parentform are not instantiated and apparently can not be used.
The point is to have this form be totally encapsulated with the logic being self contained. This is not an MDI child, and I do not want it to be due to the limitations on MDI children.
My current workaround looks like this I use a ShowMsg Function in my MyMsgBox form which looks like this:

bare with me during this silly example. :-) Let's say I have a class like this:
Public Class Animal
Public iLegs as int32 ' Number of legs
Public bWings as Boolean ' Wings? Yes/No
End Class
And another class that inherits the "Animal" class and adds one more property:
Public Class ScaryAnimal
Inherits Animal
Public iScariness as int32 ' 0-100, how scary is it?
End Class
Now, if I have an instance of "Animal" with some values in it, and I decide I want to cast it to a ScaryAnimal for some reason, how do I do that without having to create a new instance of "ScaryAnimal" and copy each property value?Basically I'm looking for a way to do this, without having to write the lines marked with '*** below:

how to pull the "modifytimestamp" and "CreateTimeStamp" property values from a computer object in AD? These properties are not AD objects but if I do properties("modifytimestamp").value, the return string is that of a collection. When I do properties("modifytimestamp").count it returns 0 as the value so therefore there is no index. How do I return these values?

Is there a way for implementers of an interface where a ReadOnly property is defined to make it a complete Read/Write Property ?
Imagine I define an interface to provide a ReadOnly Property (i.e., just a getter for a given value) :
Interface SomeInterface
'the interface only say that implementers must provide a value for reading
ReadOnly Property PublicProperty As String
End Interface
This means implementers must commit to providing a value. But I would like a given implementer to also allow setting that value. In my head, this would mean providing the Property's setter as part of the implementation, doing something like this :
Public Property PublicProperty As String Implements SomeInterface.PublicProperty
Get
Return _myProperty

I searched on the forum / Internet for the solution how a PropetryInfo object (of a Public property) can reveal if it has a Private Protected Setter ... it was all in vain .... all help I found was about how to "Set" value of a public property having a Private Setter.I would like to know if I have a PropertyInfo object of a public property, how would I know if its Setter is Non Public?
I tried, in a exception handling block, where I did a GetValue of the PropertyInfo object and then called SetValue by setting the same value back... but to my surprise it worked well and didn error out.
