Hi,
I tried to create a class which must change the propety 'visible' of a
<linktag in the masterpage into 'false' when the user is logged. But i get
the error: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
for the line 'If mpg.FindControl("lkred").Visible = True Then'.
I couldn't find sofar the solution.
Any help would be appreciated ...
Thanks

Dim pg As New Page
Here you are creating a completely new instance of the Page class. The
Page class is the base class for pages and doesn't contain any controls
at all.
Dim mpg As MasterPage
If pg.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated = True Then
If mpg.FindControl("lkred").Visible = True Then
The FindControl method returns a null reference. As there are no
controls in the page object, the control you are looking for can of
course not be found.
....
End If
End Sub
End Class
code-behind:
-----------
Partial Class MasterPage
Inherits System.Web.UI.MasterPage
Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Init
Dim lg As New loginkl
lg.logkl()
Here you should to pass a reference to the current Page into the method,
so that it can use that to locate the control.
Better yet, why not pass a reference to the control into the method.
That way you don't have to use FindControl to locate it, and the method
can be used to hide any control that you like, not only a control named
"lkred".
I am not sure, but the Init event of the master page might also occur
too early to access the controls of the page. If the markup of the page
has not yet been parsed, the page does not yet contain any controls.
Then you have to use an even that occurs later in the cycle.
End Sub

Correction: I see now that you look for the control in the MasterPage
object, not in the Page object.
The same appplies, though, but the actual error occurs because you have
just declared a reference to a master page, and haven't assign any value
to it. When you try to use the reference, it's null.
(Are you sure that this is the actual code that you are using? I would
expect a compiler error as you are trying to use a variable that hasn't
been assigned any value.)
You have to send a reference into the method, either a reference to the
actual master page, or a reference to the control. The base class for
master pages can not be used to access controls in any specific master page.

Hi, thanks
I changed this line in the class:
Dim mpg As New MasterPage
I have no error anymore, but instead of changing the theme from red into
green, it remains red. So at least one test remains false:
If pg.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated = True Then
If mpg.FindControl("lkred").Visible = True Then
Could you please give me the right code for doing what you told me?

You are only declaring mpg as a variable, not an instance of a MasterPage
class, so when you write:
If mpg.FindControl("lkred").Visible = True Then
you get the error because "mpg" has not been set to an instance of a
MasterPage class.
You need to either instantiate mpg: Dim mpg As NEW MasterPage
or set mpg equal to an already created instance of a MasterPage:
Dim foo As New MasterPage
Dim mpg As MasterPage = foo

Here's an example of how you send a reference to a control into a method:
SomeMethod(theControl)
Here's how you declare the method to accept the reference:

As I have explained already, you can not access the controls of a
specific master page by creating an instance of the base class for
master pages. You need a reference to the actual master page that
contains the control.
Read what I have written in my other posts in this thread about sending
a reference to the method.

I tried it without class, defining everything in the code-behind of the
master page and it works.
If Page.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated Then
If Lkred.Visible = True Then
Lkred.Visible = False
lkgreen.Visible = True
Else
Lkred.Visible = True
lkgreen.Visible = False
End If
End If
I want to learn how to do the same with a class, but sorry, i can't find the
right code working with a class.
I tried a lot of things without succes:
- in web.config, i added a reference: <pages
masterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master">
- this is the updated class file:
Public Class loginkl

If mpg.FindControl("lkred").Visible = True Then

As you want to change two controls, you want to send to controls to the
method:
Public Sub logkl(link1 As Control, link2 as Control)
Dim pg As New Page
Dim foo As New MasterPage
Dim mpg As MasterPage = foo
Skip the masterpage references. You don't need them as you have
reference to the controls.
If pg.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated = True Then
If mpg.FindControl("lkred").Visible = True Then
Use the reference to the control instead of searching for it:
If link1.Visible Then
mpg.FindControl("lkred").Visible = False
mpg.FindControl("lkgreen").Visible = True
Same here:
link1.Visible = False
link2.Visible = True

mpg.FindControl("lkred").Visible = True
mpg.FindControl("lkgreen").Visible = False
link1.Visible = True
link2.Visible = False

When dealing with string literals (any value in quotes), case always
matters. It's not a VB thing.
For example:
"Scott" does not equal "scott", so:
Dim A As String = "Scott"
Bim B As String = "scott"
If A = B Then
MessageBox(A & "= " & B)
Else
MessageBox(A & " <" & B)
End If
You will find that the code in the Else always runs.

Scott,
Your message should be true, however, it is not always, it is strange enough
that in AspNet the string literals from ADONET can be mixed uper and lower
case. (I thought I had seen this in version 1.1).

When dealing with string literals (any value in quotes), case always
matters. It's not a VB thing.
For example:
"Scott" does not equal "scott", so:
Dim A As String = "Scott"
Bim B As String = "scott"
If A = B Then
MessageBox(A & "= " & B)
Else
MessageBox(A & " <" & B)
End If
You will find that the code in the Else always runs.

I don't think so Cor,
A string literal is always just that.
You may be referring to situations when you refer to a field name in a
database using a case that does not match the capitalization of the actual
field name.
For example, assume the following SQL statement:
SELECT * From tblCustomers WHERE NAME = "Smith"
It's up to the engine interpreting the strings to decide if it wishes to
enforce case-sensitivity. Many databases do not enforce it on field names,
but do enforce it when querying on a particular value (the WHERE clause of a
SQL statement). In other words, if the field name or string in the WHERE
clause isn't treated case-sensitively, it's because the database engine
processing the SQL statement did it that way, not because the language the
SQL statement was part of (VB.NET, C#, etc.) isn't case-sensitive.

Cor, you haven't given any specific example of "something I have tried in
the past", so I can't really speak to it.
The fact is that VB.NET strings ARE case-sensitive, always. This is not to
say that every class treats strings case-sensitively. It's that old
discussion about the difference between the Framework and the language.
As you know, strings are reference types (objects) and so, they are
instanced and stored on the heap. Each string is a different object (with
the exception of interned strings - - different topic) and we are not
talking about evaluating if one string object "IS" the same as another. We
are talking about the value of one string being equivellant to another. To
the CLR, the char "S" is not equivellant to the char "s" - that doesn't
change, ever.
Now, could you run into a class that takes a string as an input value in one
of its methods and could that method deal with that string in a non
case-sensitive way? Sure, but that is a very different thing from saying
that VB.NET strings are not case-sensitive, which is what Chris said:
" it's not case sensitive (VB.net)"

No scott I am not talking about that.

Select MyField from X.
In Windowsform I "had to" (must) use this when using a non strongly typed

dim myfield as string = thedatatable.rows(0)("MyField")
in ASPX i could use it as
dim myfield as string = thedatatable.rows(0)("mYfIELD")

Cor, this is exactly what I'm describing. I'm not sure why you say you
aren't talking about that.
In your two examples:
dim myfield as string = thedatatable.rows(0)("MyField")
in ASPX i could use it as
dim myfield as string = thedatatable.rows(0)("mYfIELD")
You are passing a string into an indexed property. As you yourself point
out, one example is passing it to a DIFFERENT TYPE than the other. It is
the TYPE that is or isn't enforcing the case-sensitivity, not the VB.NET
language.
You see the difference? There's nothing about your example that would make
the statement: " it's not case sensitive (VB.net)" a true one.

Scott,
What different type, they are both of the type object?
(it are DataRow Items) which have an index in the column object.
It seems that ASPNET was doing an extra job by setting those columnnames to
upper or lower case, probably as they are more bound to SQL, where the
expressions are as well not case sensitive.

Cor, this is exactly what I'm describing. I'm not sure why you say you
aren't talking about that.
In your two examples:
>dim myfield as string = thedatatable.rows(0)("MyField")
in ASPX i could use it as
dim myfield as string = thedatatable.rows(0)("mYfIELD")
You are passing a string into an indexed property. As you yourself point
out, one example is passing it to a DIFFERENT TYPE than the other. It is
the TYPE that is or isn't enforcing the case-sensitivity, not the VB.NET
language.
You see the difference? There's nothing about your example that would
make the statement: " it's not case sensitive (VB.net)" a true one.

>>Cor, you haven't given any specific example of "something I have tried

The fact is that VB.NET strings ARE case-sensitive, always. This is not
to say that every class treats strings case-sensitively. It's that old
discussion about the difference between the Framework and the language.
As you know, strings are reference types (objects) and so, they are
instanced and stored on the heap. Each string is a different object
(with the exception of interned strings - - different topic) and we are
not talking about evaluating if one string object "IS" the same as
another. We are talking about the value of one string being equivellant
to another. To the CLR, the char "S" is not equivellant to the char
"s" - that doesn't change, ever.
Now, could you run into a class that takes a string as an input value in
one of its methods and could that method deal with that string in a non
case-sensitive way? Sure, but that is a very different thing from
saying that VB.NET strings are not case-sensitive, which is what Chris
said:
" it's not case sensitive (VB.net)"

Scott,
It is something I have tried in past and I don't do it again.
The same code gave errors in windowsforms and was eaten by AspNet.
I found it very strange.
If you don't believe me, does not matter for me, it you keeps you on
the rule than you will never see it.

It's up to the engine interpreting the strings to decide if it wishes
to enforce case-sensitivity. Many databases do not enforce it on
field names, but do enforce it when querying on a particular value
(the WHERE clause of a SQL statement). In other words, if the field
name or string in the WHERE clause isn't treated case-sensitively,
it's because the database engine processing the SQL statement did it
that way, not because the language the SQL statement was part of
(VB.NET, C#, etc.) isn't case-sensitive.

It has nothing to do with ASP.NET, since ASP.NET is nothing but a
client/server architecture that is not language dependant.
The two types you talk about are DataSet and Strongly-Typed DataSet, not
just the plain "object" type.
It's clear that Microsoft's standard DataSet requires the column name passed
as an index to the DataRow exactly as the real column name is written. But
a Strongly-Typed DataSet is a different class that inherits from DataSet,
but implements the default property of the DataRow differently. In any
case, we are talking about how the OBJECT expects the parameter, not how
VB.NET (the LANGUAGE) expects it.
Honestly Cor, I know you are smarter than your replies in this particular
topic would lead someone to believe. This is really quite simple.
"If "SCOTT" = "scott" Then" is processed by the CLR, there is no other
object involved here but the String type, so the decision as to whether the
expression is true or not is completely based on the language, which is
VB.NET, which will always return FALSE.
Your entire argument is not based on how the language would treat different
strings, you keep talking about how string data would be accepted by a type
and a type is not the same thing as a language.

My message has nothing to do with the behaviour of the string.
What I am writting about is use of the string as indexer in a not strongly
typed dataset.
I was once supprised that it seems that it seems that they have made in
ASPNET somewhere an unexpected inbuild string.ToUppercase (or string to

That is all, with that not denying what you wrote, only that there can

I think the way as you are telling it can be more misleading.
Telling that something has always the same behaviour, while there are
exceptions, can lead that somebody can search for a problem weeks. To
prevent that was the only meaning of my message.
You can answer this message but I don't answer that anymore. Not to be rude,
however because there is enough written and we both will not add new things
anymore
Cor
But, there aren't exceptions and that is my point. The language never
changes the way it handles strings, objects may, but the language doesn't.
To not separate the two things is right up there with those who believe the
Framework is the language and vice versa.

Scott,
I told not to write anymore, however maybe does this helps in this

Maybe we are talking about different things, have a look at this tested code
and than to the word Dataset inside the session.
That it has different cases is my point, this is the same for Net.Data names
here while it is AFAIK impossible for WindowsForms to use then different
cases.

Cor
Yes Cor, we are talking about different things, that has been my point here
all along with you. You are talking about how strings can be passed to an
object and how that object requires (or doesn't require) the string to be
passed case-sensitively. I get that, we get that. But that has not been
what I have been talking about and I've repeated that fact over and over
again.
Every one of your posts in this thread are true and correct, except the
first one, which you've been debating incorrectly ever since you made it.
I have been and still am, simply pointing out that the ADO.NET classes (or
any class) may require (or not) a string to be passed in a certain way, but
that has nothing to do with how VB.NET works with strings and since this
whole branch of the thread started with "it's not case sensitive (VB.NET)",
it makes no sense to me why you keep coming back with the same example that
has nothing to do with this stattement.
You've also made references to ASP.NET not being case-sensitive, but that
statement make no sense in any conversation since ASP.NET is an
architecture, not an object, nor a language. I think you mean to say that
in ASP.NET, there are certain types that you don't use in a WinForms
application, such as the System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGrid and the
System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid and since these are two different types, they
handle case sensitivity differently. This again, boils down to the type
differences, not ASP.NET.
It's really very simple VB.NET is not a type, it's a language. VB.NET has
its rules about how strings are handled and any given type can have its own
rules that may differ, but to say that VB.NET strings are not case-sensitve
*sometimes* and then to show an example of a string being used on a type, is
an incorrect statement to make.
You've shown code that uses strings on types, but you haven't addressed
strings used by the language. I originally showed this code in my first
example:
Dim A As String = "Scott"
Bim B As String = "scott"
If A = B Then
MessageBox(A & "= " & B)
Else
MessageBox(A & " <" & B)
End If
You will find that the code in the Else always runs.
Your response was:
"Your message should be true, however, it is not always,"
but, that is incorrect to say, the else portion will always run. You then
went on to say:
"it is strange enough
that in AspNet the string literals from ADONET can be mixed uper and lower
case. (I thought I had seen this in version 1.1)."
Which has nothing to do with VB.NET, it has to do with types.
You've made your point very clearly, you've just been labelling it
incorrectly and that's all I've been trying to point out to you.
Right comments, wrong conversation.

Scott,
I told not to write anymore, however maybe does this helps in this
communication.
Maybe we are talking about different things, have a look at this tested
code and than to the word Dataset inside the session.
That it has different cases is my point, this is the same for Net.Data
names here while it is AFAIK impossible for WindowsForms to use then
different cases.

Are you sure of that, my replies were based on your reply on Chris who was
denying this in a way.
"Stephany Young"
In the masterpage, the id of the control is Lkred and not lkred.
mpg.FindControl("lkred") returns nothing becuase it should be
mpg.FindControl("Lkred")
I am not saying that the message from Stephany is wrong there was my answer

Yes, as mentioned earlier, but I am referring to the default way that VB.NET
operates. The fundamental comparison of how a type deals with a string vs.
how the language deals with a string is what is at issue (at least for me)
here.
