I am inheriting some .net code and they use a couple things i am unfamiliar with and was wondering if someone could shed a little light on why they are used.
Here they are:
Public
Shadows
Sub RemoveAt(ByVal
indextmp As
Integer)
When and why would you use "Shadows"?
Public
Overloads
ReadOnly
Property Count()
As
Integer
When and why would you use "Overloads"?
PASTE ALL of this to your Form1 code window please and add one Button to Form1.
Now I am asking developers here who actually do software development for a living
especially those persons holding MCPD or similar Microsoft Certification please.
1) When redeclaring a method as in AnotherClass below which Inherits from ExampleClass,
is the recommnded way to use SHADOWS or OVERLOADS please? 2) What about when you do the same with a PROPERTY please?
Option Strict On
Option Explicit On
Option Infer Off
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

What are the differences between the Shadows keyword in VB.NET and the New keyword in C#? (regarding method signatures of course).

I knew VB.net is very weird when talking about shadows and overloads, but this this I'm completely baffled.I'm working with a model similar to the following one. Parent class:
Public Class Base
Function F() As String
Return "F() in Base Class"
End Function

I'm using the standard code for form drop shadows that creates an effect identical to that of XP's, but you will notice in Windows 7 that the shadows are much larger, are not visible only on the right & bottom sides of the form (example: [URL])
Here's the code I'm currently using:
Private Const CS_DROPSHADOW As Integer = &H20000
Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property CreateParams() As System.Windows.Forms.CreateParams
[CODE]...
Is there a way to expand the shadow to resemble Windows 7 more?

From what I can see online the Overloads keyword is optional but is there ever a time when it is necessary? It even seems to be an error when used in a Module.

I have a question. In the framework, that was largely written before the generics came, you often see a function with lots of overloads to do something with different types. [code] and then have some kind of ifs/switch statements with typeof() to try to infer what the types are and what to do with them.What is best practise? Or what are the ideias that'd help me choose between a) and b)?
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to run this code, but it displays the error "overload resolution failed".
[code...]
Here is the full error:[code...]
Coming from C#..I was looking at this website [URL]..And noticed that it said
public static void Main(string[] args) {is equivalent to Overloads Shared Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)
what is that "Overloads" all about?
I am assuming "No", but I cannot find conclusive proof on Google to back this assumption. Using keywords of 'vb.net "generic operator overload"' yields exactly 1 result, and removing 'overload' gives more, but no direct statement to the issue.
My thinking is given an abstract class, it'd be great to be able to implement a generic operator overload that a derived class can use in such a case when said operator overload has to return a New copy of the derived class, yet the code for each overload is the same. If that makes any sense.
This touches back to my previous questions on my custom Enum class and overloading the bitwise operators (And, Or, Not, & Xor), but, this particular thought was prompted by a mere curiosity of "Can it be done?".
Here's what one of my custom enums basically look like:
The parent, EBase is nothing special, just hosting common Name and Value properties, plus two shared operators, op_Equality and op_Inequality.
Friend NotInheritable Class EExample
Inherits EBase
Private Sub New()
[Code]....
Then (in theory anyways), calling EExample.OneA Or EExample.FiveE would work because the compiler would know to call the generic operator overload from EBase, know that EExample.Enums matches the IEnums interface constraint, and automatically supply T.
That or I'm just swimming up a certain creek here without a paddle and over-analyzing things. But it's an interesting thought, no? What is StackOverflow's consensus? Do I need to lay off the Spice a little bit?
PS: I use /* */ style comments because Markdown doesn't handle VB-style properly.
PPS: I know that, in the last example, Return New T( ... ) is invalid, but I can't think of a proper syntax that would articulate the basic idea.
Difference between overloads, overridable and overrides .
View 1 Replieswhen we have a method of a derived class implementing a method of an interface which is already implemented in the base class, the compiler throws a warning (by default). when i see a warning i will try to erase it and the only way to erase this warning is to mess with the settings of the compiler hence i hope that there is a way to declare "how" a method implements an interface's method. by this i meant that we should be able to declare overridable, overrides and shadows for the implements keyword. hence if we declare overridable-implement for a method of a base class implementing an interface's method, the compiler should give no warnings when we override this implementation (re-implementing in a derived class). Similarly, if the method of the base class implementing an itnerface's method was not declared as ovveridable-implement, the derived class should be able to Shadow the implementation example code which flags unnecessary warning:

Do you really need this keyword to overload methods? What is the difference between using the overloads keyword vs. just having different method signatures?
View 5 RepliesI was familiar with the optional parameters in vb 6 and it made sense given the capabilities of the language but why the heck does VB.Net support optional parameters when there is method overloading? Which one should I use and is there a difference? If there is a difference when should I use each one?
View 4 RepliesI have recently come across some code that has the following. First there is a Interface with the following function Function Validate() As Boolean. That interface is then implemented in the an 'ABSTRACT' class like this.
Public MustOverride Overloads Function Validate() As Boolean Implements IBusinessEntity.Validate
Question 1: Why use Overloads in the Abstract class implementation.
Question 2: The Abstract class is then inherited into a class (TestClass). In TestClass the Validate function is implemented as follows Public Overloads Overrides Function Validate() As Boolean. I understand the Overrides keyword is to insure that this is the version of the Validate that you want called and not the Abstract class version but why again use the keyword Overloads?
From what I understand you can overload a constructor of a class by simply changing the constructor signature. Also, you overload Methods and Properties of a class by using the Keyword Overloads. But why do it when your implementing an Interface method, or an Abstract Class method that's inherited.
I've wanted to know the answer to this question for a long time but I never really took the time to ask anyone. My question is, why do rounded edges or drop shadows of transparent form layouts turn white. Take a look at the following image to know what I'm talking about.
