• GBC143 How can you set variables to Nothing when using Return?

  Here's a hum dinger.... It's my understanding that it's good programming practice to set variables to nothing when you are done using them, however, how are you supposed to do this when a return statement is involved.  It's a catch 22... you cannot set the variable to nothing before you return it, and you cannot set the variable to nothing after you return it because no statements after "return" run. e.g. Public Function ReturnSomeCrap() As Crapola Dim SomeCrap As Crapola SomeCrap = New Crapola("100 lbs") Return SomeCrap End Function So, where and how do I set SomeCrap = Nothing, since I have to have it to return, and I cannot do it after the return I was referring to the OP code... This is a ...Show All

• UncleSam89 Display Same Object In Different TabControl Page

  Currently i have one databasegridview in tab page1, how can i bring this databasegridview to the other tab page Thank you. Can you please provide sample code to me Thank you. If interacting with the datagridview changes the underlying database, then reloading the datagridview with the database when you move the datagridview to a new page, should display the changed stuff. If the reason for moving the dgview instead of having a different one on each tabpage, is that you want to preserve changes to the layout, then why not let a single event handle every layoutchange in all the dgviews If a user moves a column in one tabpage's, the other dgviews show the columns the exact ...Show All

• Quirk Special Characters in XML File

  Hi all, I have a little problem with XML. This XML file is a UTF-8 codeification and most of the times a "tiny square" appears inside the text, I know I can replace the character but I just don't know which character is. Working with VB.NET (System.xml and System.XML.Path), I tried to get the char number but I get two values: 63 and 13 Dim CharWeird As Char = GetChar(xString, 15) ' 15 is the position of the character (zero based) CharWeird = 63 BUT if I..... Dim CharWeird As Double = Char .GetUnicodeCategory(xString, 14) ' 14 is the position of the character (1 based) CharWeird = 13 Not to mention that if I lookup the char inside the string: xString.IndexOf(63) or xString.IndexOf(13) it always returns -1 me ...Show All

• Nubby Difference between C# interfaces and VB.NET interfaces.

  I'm trying to convert a C# sample to vb.net and am running into a bit of a problem.
