I remember being pointed somewhere before about getting help for VB.NET but at this moment I can't find it (look at the timestamp, there might be a reason for that).
I'm working with a custom class in a disk-based app that creates a text file. One requirement is that if a certain set of parameters is met (name and value match), I have to, "copy that line, adjust these values and save both lines to the file." For brevity's sake I'll annotate my example: Public class a Public name as string Public Value1 as Decimal Public Value2 as Decimal ... End Class Dim test as New a() ... if test.Name = "CopyMe" Dim copy as a = test.clone() copy.Name = "Copied" copy.value1 -= 10 copy.value2 += 5 test.value2 -= 5 writeln(copy) End if writeln(test) Okay, the pseudocode's atrocious but again, look at the hour and forgive me please. I have tried "shallow" clones as well as "deep" clones (which borked because of serialization). In EVERY case I'm getting the original values that were in the test object before it was cloned. It's as if VB is saying, "yeah, I see your code and I'll run it but nothing's going to change your values. I've tried declaring GET and SET properties in the class. The only thing I haven't done (because I didn't think it would be necessary) is to either come up with a way to create the copy "fresh"... which I don't think would work because the values in the test object aren't being adjusted... or somehow move the logic back into the class. Anyone have an idea as to why VB is creating the copy and then saying, "screw you, I'm not changing any values!" Until Later! C.

Sometimes you just have to do some smelting to find it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:371364 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
