+5, that's the cleaner and recommended solution

I've caught myself overriding all the crap in a subclass before, then it dawned on me that this would be quicker to code and easier to debug when you don't have to wade through all the overrides.

Awesome, but i think im doing it wrong. I still have access to all the form properties, but my custom property named 'CustomProperty' isn't available.
Here's how my setup looks like:
[BaseDialogForm.vb]:
Friend Class BaseDialogForm
Form Designer code here, nothing else
End Class
[DialogForm.vb]:
Public Class DialogForm
Implements IDisposable
Private _dialogForm As New BaseDialogForm
Public Function ShowDialog() As DialogResult
Return _dialogForm.ShowDialog()
End Function
Public Property CustomProperty As String
Get
Return _dialogForm.Text
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
_dialogForm.Text = value
End Set
End Property
IDisposable Support code here
End Class

Which one of these classes is your code creating an instance of?? From your description of the problem, it's the wrong one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's OK. it's not really YOUR code in those considering it's nothing but a copy'n'paste job, but it's OK.
|
|
|
|
|
Well of course it's copy'n'paste.
Anyway, looks like it's working the way i wanted.
Thanks, Dave.

I have a masked text box that displays a date dd/mm/yyyy e.g. 01/03/2007
When I try and change the format to read yyyy-mm-dd, it displays yyyy-mm-dd and not 2007-03-01
If it was any ordinary text box the syntax is format(MyDateField.Text, "yyyy-mm-dd") and it works.
It does not when the text box is masked. I must be doing something stupid or missing syntax.
How do I get a masked text box to format correctly as above?

Have a look at the datetimepicker control, could this handle your requirements better?

Hi,
Just a few things :
- Try to be as accurate as possible when you ask for something. Noone will try to guess what is exactly the problem if you do not dare to describe precisely what you have done, what you are expecting and what is going wrong.
- Do not post the same question twice ; it is a rude attitude, and it make things much harder for people who want to follow the flow of the post if answers are scattered between several posts.

That's done using the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.openfiledialog.aspx">OpenFileDialog</a>[<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.openfiledialog.aspx" target="_blank" title="New Window">^</a>] class. Call it's ShowDialog method to show it, and retrieve the path of the file that the user selected using it's <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.filedialog.filename.aspx">FileName</a>[<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.filedialog.filename.aspx" target="_blank" title="New Window">^</a>] property.

You can use each directory. If you need to fetch the directory of a folder, consider using the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.environment.getfolderpath.aspx">GetFolderPath</a>[<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.environment.getfolderpath.aspx" target="_blank" title="New Window">^</a>] method
faravani wrote: with any format
It would copy the data there, provided that it's accessible (you have the appropriate rights, not locked by another process etc.)
Hope this helps

I have a situation with inheritance. In my base class I have a function GetName() which I want to supply the name of the class that calls the function. But how do I give the name of my current subclass and not the base class? This is my code so far.
Class Base
Public Function GetName() As String
' Bad code
'Return System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().ReflectedType.Name.ToLower()
' Good code
Dim type as Type = Me.GetType()
Return type.Name
End Function
End Class
Class Sub
Inherits Base
' Some unrelated code
End Class
' In program somewhere
Dim s as Sub
Console.PrintLine(s.GetName()) ' should print out Sub, but it prints Base
EDIT: I found the solution. about 30 minutes after this post, I found it.  Adjusted the code.

Hope this helps;
Class Base
Public Function GetClassName() As String
Return System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().ReflectedType.Name.ToLower()
End Function
Public Function GetCallingMethodName() As String
Return New StackTrace().GetFrame(1).GetMethod().Name
End Function
Public Function GetMethodName() As String
Return New StackTrace().GetFrame(0).GetMethod().Name
End Function
End Class
Class SubClass
Inherits Base
End Class
Module Module1
Sub main()
Dim s As New SubClass
Console.WriteLine(s.GetClassName())
Console.WriteLine(s.GetCallingMethodName())
Console.WriteLine(s.GetMethodName())
Console.ReadKey()
End Sub
End Module

The Reflection will give you the "Base" name. The StackTrace would give you the name of the calling Mehtod. I needed the name of the type of the subclass.
I know Sub is not a valid name, but I was making a quick example program, my actual program is a lot more complex, but I just needed the type of the subclass.

if you want information about the caller, Environment.StackTrace may be useful.
if you want information about the base class of some object, look at Object.GetType().
and then there is reflection.

Thanks mate, I needed the Object.GetType(), used Me.GetType() works too. Thanks for the help, both of you!

Hi,
I have to run crystal reports runtime before/after installing a new vb.net project on a user's pc. How can I include the automatic installation of crystal reports runtime file when deploying a project onto a user's pc e.g. run CRRedist2008_x86.msi. I know this can be done but how?
Thanks in advance.
|
|
|
|

You either have to include the CrystalReport merge modules in your .MSI or you have to create a setup wrapper (Setup.exe), otherwise called a bootstrapper, to install each .MSI. If you're installing the .NET Framework with your application, the Setup.exe cannot be written in managed code (i.e.: VB.NET or C#).
