I have these two nearly identical methods:
''' <summary>
''' Converts a <see cref="DBNull"/> to an actual Nothing value.
''' </summary>
''' <typeparam name="T"></typeparam>
''' <param name="val"></param>
''' <returns></returns>
Public Shared Function DBNullToNull(Of T As Structure)(ByVal val As Object) As T?
If TypeOf val Is DBNull Then Return Nothing Else Return Val
End Function
''' <summary>

''' <param name="val"></param>
''' <returns></returns>
Public Shared Function DBNullToNull(Of T As Class)(ByVal val As Object) As T
If TypeOf val Is DBNull Then Return Nothing Else Return Val
End Function
But I get this compile error:
Public Shared Function DBNullToNull(Of T As Structure)(val As Object) As T?' and 'Public Shared Function DBNullToNull(Of T As Class)(val As Object) As T' cannot overload each other because they differ only by return types.
But they differ not only by return types, but also by generic type constraints (one works on structures, the other on classes) which are mutually exclusive. Is this still not allowed?
Of course I can rename them so they don't conflict, but that would be a bit annoying! Is there any other way to do this?
I have this class:
''' <summary>
''' Utility class for managing ASP.NET session state.
''' </summary>
Public Class SessionHelper
''' <summary>
''' Private constructor to prevent instantiation since classes cannot be declared Shared in VB.
''' </summary>
Private Sub New()
End Sub
''' <summary>

''' </summary>
''' <returns></returns>
Public Shared ReadOnly Property Session As HttpSessionState
Get
Return HttpContext.Current.Session
End Get
End Property
''' <summary>
''' Retrieves the current system connection string.
''' </summary>
''' <returns></returns>

Get
Dim raw As String = Session(SessionConstants.DotNetConnectionString)

End Get
End Property
''' <summary>

Public Shared Property Item(ByVal key As String) As Object
Get
Return Session(key)
End Get
Set(value As Object)
Session(key) = value
End Set
End Property
End Class
And I get a compile error when I try to call the shared indexer:
SessionHelper("DotNetConnectionString")
Error BC30109 'SessionHelper' is a class type and cannot be used as an expression.
What am I doing wrong? Or does VB just not support shared indexers? I can call it explicitly as SessionHelper.Item("DotNetConnectionString") but the indexer syntax is not working.
You are accessing the method like a default indexer by leaving out the "Item" method name, but the method is not declared 'Default'. In fact, you can't declare shared indexers in VB.
e.g., you have to change your call to the shared method:
SessionHelper.Item("DotNetConnectionString")
Note: I noticed after posting that Ahmed had included the same information in a comment, so he deserves full credit.
I am looking for an automatic method to create a shortcut to a network connection in Windows 7. I do not believe this is the same as a shortcut to a file.
I would prefer it to be in vb.net, but anything (VBS, PowerShell, etc...) would be fine.
I came up with the following script, but it requires you to click yes.
Const CSIDL_CONNECTIONS = &H31
Dim objShell As Object = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Dim objConnectionsFolder = objShell.NameSpace(CSIDL_CONNECTIONS)
For Each objConnection In objConnectionsFolder.Items
If objConnection.name = "Local Area Connection" Then
Dim colVerbs = objConnection.Verbs
For Each objVerb In colVerbs
If Replace(objVerb.name, "&", "") = "Create Shortcut" Then
objVerb.DoIt()
End If
Next
End If
Next
MsgBox("If the script ends too quickly then it doesn't finish.")
Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Powershell:
$WshShell = New-Object -comObject WScript.Shell
$Shortcut = $WshShell.CreateShortcut("C:\somepath\shortcutName.lnk"));
$Shortcut.TargetPath = "\\server\path";
$Shortcut.Save();
In VB.NET you could try to use my Shortcut Manager Helper Class.
Usage:
Dim Shortcut As New ShortcutManager.ShortcutInfo
With Shortcut
.ShortcutFile = "C:\New shortcut.lnk"
.Target = "\\server\path"
.Description = "Shortcut Description"
.Icon = "Icon.ico"
.IconIndex = 0
End With
ShortcutManager.CreateShortcut(Shortcut)
The Class is partially defined 'cause the character limit of StackOverflow (if you want the full version then go this link):
