I am curious as to why ASP.NET returns values a different way from VB or
VB.net (or can you use both).
In my one book I have it returning using a return statement
*************** *************** *************** **************
function RollDie As Integer
Dim Roll As Integer
Randomize
Roll = Int(rnd * 6) + 1
Return(roll)
end function
*************** *************** *************** **************
instead of return it only with the assigment to the function name:
*************** *************** *************** **************
function RollDie As Integer
Dim Roll As Integer
Randomize
Roll = Int(rnd * 6) + 1
end function
*************** *************** *************** ***************
Are both of these correct?
Thanks,

Assuming the second one is RollDie instead of Roll, they are just alternate
syntaxes AFAIK.

The VB 6.0 way was to assign the function name to a value. In .NET, you
use: "Return someValue".
So,
Return Roll
....and...
RollDie = Roll
would return the same value (in your second example you didn't set the
function equal to anything, so you would get any value from your second
version).
The difference between the two is that "Return" not only set the value of
the function, but it also exits from the function after it executes, so any
code written after Return will not run, whereas by setting the return value
= to something where all the code will run up to the End Function statement.
For example:
Function RollDie As Integer
Dim Roll As Integer
Dim y as new Random
Roll = y.next(1,6)
Return Roll
'This next line will never execute because the function will "Return"
control back to the calling procedure after the above line.
Dim x as String = "Test"
End Function
Also note the use of the new .NET Random class and its next method as
opposed to the VB 6 Randomize() and Rnd() functions.

My mistake here as the line should be:
RollDie = Int(rnd * 6) + 1
Which does work.

I'll definately need to look into these.

I've looked at a couple of my favorite sites and books and can't find an
answer either. I can write a Function to return a single value. No big
deal. But I want to call a Function from another Sub and the function finds
and returns an entire db record. Using ASP.NET (VB!), how can this be done
and how can I differentiate between the fields/columns?

I am often in the situation where I want to act on the result of a function,
but a simple boolean is not enough. For example, I may have a function
called
isAuthorised ( User, Action ) as ?????
OK, this function may return a boolean, and if this is true, then no message
back is really required, but if it fails then some supporting message needs
to be returned to the calling code. As I see it there are a few options.

Hello,
I have a question about casting a function pointer. Say I want to make
a generic module (say some ADT implementation) that requires a function
pointer from the 'actual/other modules' that takes arguments of type
(void *) because the ADT must be able to deal with any type of data.
In my actual code, I will code the function to take arguments of their
real types, then when I pass this pointer through an interface
function, I...
