Connecting to MongoDB through VB.NET 2010 - vb.net

I am attempting to connect to a MongoDB database:
Dim server As MongoServer = MongoServer.Create("mongodb://localhost")
Dim db As MongoDatabase = server("mydb")
Dim coll As MongoCollection = db("coll")
Dim query = New QueryDocument("name","sid")
Dim item As BsonDocument = coll.FindOneAs(query)
The last line throws an error, and reads:
Public Overridable function FindOneAs(documentType As System.Type)As Object': Value of type MongoDB.driver.queryDocument cannot be converted to System.Type
Now I know that the object passed here is most probably of Type, but then I am not able to proceed. What should I pass instead of QueryDocument to execute my query?

You should be using the static methods of the Query class, like EQ which means equals. The other operators for MongoDb are also located on that class. You can find the details here.
Dim server As MongoServer = MongoServer.Create("mongodb://localhost")
Dim db As MongoDatabase = server("mydb")
Dim coll As MongoCollection = db("coll")
Dim query = Query.EQ("name","sid")
Dim item As BsonDocument = coll.FindOneAs(query)

WMI With ServerNetworkProtocol is not working vb.net

I have this piece of code , I am using WMI to get the ServerNetworkProtocol in vb.net and it does not perform any exception but mgmtcls.GetInstances() returns not a single value , Is there anyway else or is there anything wrong with this
' Specify server, SQL WMI namespace and class name
Dim mgmtPath As New ManagementPath()
mgmtPath.Server = "MAIN"
mgmtPath.NamespacePath = "root\Microsoft\SqlServer\ComputerManagement10" 'For SQL 2008
mgmtPath.ClassName = "ServerNetworkProtocol"
' Get instances of the ServerNetworkProtocol class
Dim mgmtcls As New ManagementClass(mgmtPath)
Dim mgmtColl As ManagementObjectCollection = mgmtcls.GetInstances()
'Enumerates ServerNetworkProtocol info
For Each mgmtObj As ManagementObject In mgmtColl
Dim svc As String = String.Format("{0}", mgmtObj("Enabled"))
MsgBox(svc)

VB net & Mongo: Using where clause with LINQ causes error "Unsupported where clause: (Boolean)Operators.CompareObjectLess"

I have a collection in MongoDB and I'm using MongoDB Driver in VB net. I want to update several documents depending on a condition.
For this, I want to use LINQ, but the select causes an error and I don't know how to fix it.
Here's the code:
Dim update_for As UpdateBuilder
Dim query_for As IMongoQuery
Dim coll_for = db.GetCollection(Of MyClass)("collection_1")
Dim queryMun = (From a In coll_for _
Where (a.field_1 < 10000) _
Select a)
For Each emp In queryMun
query_for = Query.EQ("_id", emp.Id)
update_for = Update.Set("field_1", BsonValue.Create("0" + emp.field_1))
coll.Update(query_for, update_for, opts)
Next
When it executes de For Each sentence, it raises the exception: Unsupported where clause: (Boolean)Operators.CompareObjectLess(a.field_1, 10000, true).
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you very much for your help.
I think the error is clear:
You can't use a Less Than "<" operator in you WHERE clause because it's unsupported.
I have found a way to do this update based on the value of the attribute itself. What I want to do is add a "0" at the beginning of the attribute value, for example, if field_1=4567, after the update field_1='04567'.
Here's the code:
Dim update_for As UpdateBuilder
Dim query_for As IMongoQuery
Dim opts = New MongoUpdateOptions
opts.Flags = UpdateFlags.Multi
Dim coll_for = db.GetCollection(Of MyLINQClass)("collection_1")
Dim queryMun2 As New QueryDocument
Dim query_1 = Query.LT("field_1", MongoDB.Bson.BsonValue.Create(10000))
queryMun2.AddRange(query_1.ToBsonDocument)
Dim queryMun = coll_for.Find(queryMun2)
For Each emp In queryMun
query_for = Query.EQ("_id", emp.Id)
update_for = Update.Set("field_1", BsonValue.Create("0" + emp.FField_1.ToString))
coll.Update(query_for, update_for, opts)
Next
And here is the definition of MyLINQClass:
Public Class MyLINQClass
<BsonElementAttribute("_id")> _
Public Property Id() As ObjectId
<BsonElementAttribute("field_1")> _
Public Property FField_1() As Object
End Class

VB Web Service call error Object reference not set

Hey all I am trying to figure out why I am getting the following error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
on line 2 of code:
1. Dim HTPCws As HTPCWS.ServiceVB
2. Dim returned As String = HTPCws.DisplayMessageVB(what2send)
When I know what2send does have a value to send....
The Web Service code is this:
<WebMethod()> Public Function DisplayMessageVB(ByVal beingSent As String) As String
_strfromws = beingSent
Return "DONE"
End Function
What could I be forgetting?
HTPCws has not been instantiated. Change the code to:
Dim HTPCws = New HTPCWS.ServiceVB()
Dim returned As String = HTPCws.DisplayMessageVB(what2send)
Dim HTPCws As HTPCWS.ServiceVB declares a variable but does not assign it an object. Also the naming is a bit confusing. Better:
Dim service = New HTPCWS.ServiceVB()
Dim returned As String = service.DisplayMessageVB(what2send)

WCF EF return as list

Hi I got the error when return EF as the list. Here are my codes.
WCF
Public Function GetMerchantList() As List(Of Merchant) Implements IMerchant.GetMerchantList
Dim ws As New aMerchantService.MerchantServiceClient
Dim General As New General
Dim kWSUrl As String = ""
Dim endpointAddress = ws.Endpoint.Address
Dim newEndpointAddress As New EndpointAddressBuilder(endpointAddress)
kWSUrl = General.ConvertWsURL("App")
newEndpointAddress.Uri = New Uri(kWSUrl & "MerchantService.svc")
ws = New aMerchantService.MerchantServiceClient("BasicHttpBinding_IMerchantService", newEndpointAddress.ToEndpointAddress())
Dim Data = ws.GetMerchantList()
Return Data
End Function
Merchant Class
Public Function GetMerchantList() As List(Of Merchant)
Dim Db As New TTMSEntities
Dim Data = (From p In Db.TT_MERCHANT Join r In Db.TT_BRANCH_SETTING On _
p.MERCHANT_BRANCH_INTERNAL_NUM Equals r.INTERNAL_NUM _
Select New Merchant With {.MerchantID = p.MERCHANT_ID,
.MerchantName = p.DESCRIPTION,
.BranchID = r.INTERNAL_NUM,
.BranchName = r.BRANCH_DESC})
If Data IsNot Nothing Then
Return Data.ToList
Else
Return Nothing
End If
End Function
The error is Error Value of type '1-dimensional array of
TTMS.App.WebSites.Data.Merchant' cannot be converted to
'System.Collections.Generic.List(Of TTMS.Web.WebSites.WCF.Merchant)'.
Please help. Thanks
It looks like you're using a service reference. By default, WCF will serialize generic lists as arrays. To override this behavior, when you go to add the service reference, click on the Advanced button at the bottom left corner. This will bring up the Service Reference Settings. Select System.Generics.List for the collection type (the default is System.Array):

Using Value of String variable to call an instance in vb.net winform

I have UserControl named for example 'aaa'
then i have variable:
Dim a as String = "aaa"
Now, i declare
Dim uc as UserControl = new aaa
my question is, can i write declaration above using value of variable a like below
Dim uc as UserControl = new a
You can do this using reflection (in the System.Reflection) namespace. For instance:
Dim t As Type = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetType("namespace.aaa")
Dim o As Object = Activator.CreateInstance(t)
Notice that you will need the full type name, including the namespace, so you may need to concatenate that to your string, for instance:
Dim namespace As String = "MyNamespace"
Dim t As Type = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetType(namespace & "." & a)
Dim o As Object = Activator.CreateInstance(t)
