Re: Creating a custom class/Namespace

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi Juan,

Thanks for your help. I have tried what you suggested and am getting
some errors. Here, first, are the contents of my .vb file:
---------------------------------------------
Imports System.Globalization
Namespace ByteArray
Public Class ByteArray
Inherits System.ComponentModel.Component
#Region " Component Designer generated code "

Public Sub New(ByVal Container As
System.ComponentModel.IContainer)
MyClass.New()

'Required for Windows.Forms Class Composition Designer
support
Container.Add(Me)
End Sub

Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()

'This call is required by the Component Designer.
InitializeComponent()

'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent()
call

End Sub

'Component overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As
Boolean)
If disposing Then
If Not (components Is Nothing) Then
components.Dispose()
End If
End If
MyBase.Dispose(disposing)
End Sub

'Required by the Component Designer
Private components As System.ComponentModel.IContainer

'NOTE: The following procedure is required by the Component
Designer
'It can be modified using the Component Designer.
'Do not modify it using the code editor.
<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Private Sub
InitializeComponent()
components = New System.ComponentModel.Container
End Sub

#End Region
Public Function CreateTypeByte(ByVal strInput As String) As
Byte()
Dim i As Integer
Dim arrChar As Char()

arrChar = strInput.ToCharArray()
Dim arrByte(arrChar.Length - 1) As Byte
For i = 0 To arrByte.Length - 1
arrByte(i) = Convert.ToByte(arrChar(i))
Next
Return arrByte
End Function

Public Function CreateTypeHex(ByVal strInput As String) As
Byte()
Dim i As Integer
Dim arrString As String()

arrString = strInput.Split(New Char() {"-"})
Dim arrByte(arrString.Length - 1) As Byte
For i = 0 To arrByte.Length - 1
arrByte(i) = Byte.Parse(arrString(i),
NumberStyles.HexNumber)
Next
Return arrByte
End Function
End Class
End Namespace
---------------------------------------------

I then compile it using:

c:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\csc.exe /target:library
/out:ByteArray.dll /r:System.dll
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\testApp\ByteArray.vb

I get a bunch of errors of four basic types:

-Preprocessor directive expected.
-Single Line Comment or End-of-Line expected.
-Newline in constant.
-A Namespace does not directly contain members such as fields or
methods.

Do you know why I am getting them. If I take out the system generated
code, the errors decrease, but I thought that the system generated code
was supposed to make my class more usuable. (Plus, I still get some of
the errors even without the system generated code.)

Thanks,
Ryan
