How can I set the property of a loaded Assembly using reflection. My Shell
program will log in a person and retrieve a list of all programs the person
can use. When the shell program launches a program I use the following
code:
Dim extAssembly As System.Reflection.Assembly =
System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFrom("D:\testload\T estLoad\TestLoad\bin\Debug\testload.exe")
Dim extForm As Form = extAssembly.CreateInstance("TestLoad.form1", True)
Me.AddOwnedForm(extForm)
extForm.MdiParent = Me
extForm.Show()
(Right now I hard coded the program in loadfrom and the form name in my
program the program name and form name will be retrieved from a dataset).
Each called program will have a class that will contain all the properties I
need to set before it is run (I pass over the userID that logged in, the
UserType like admin or poweruser, and anther piece of infomation regarding
certification.) If my module contains the following code:
Module Login
Private strUserID As String
Private strUserType As String
Private strCertification As String
Public Property UserID() As String
Get
UserID = strUserID
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
strUserID = value
End Set
End Property
Public Property UserType() As String
Get
UserType = strUserType
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
strUserType = value
End Set
End Property
Public Property Certification() As String
Get
Certification = strCertification
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
strCertification = value
End Set
End Property
End Module
how do I set these properties in my loaded programs. This is imperative
that I pass this data so the called program can act like the user logged in
this program.
I want to load these programs in an MDI form. I can do this (as the code
above shows), however, my MDI form needs to have a tree view on the left
that contains a list of all programs they can use. In the right pane I want
to load the program. In addition, I would like an option to hide the
treeview if needed and expand the child window to fill the whole container.
Also, I do not want the user to launch more than one instance of each
program. If they click the program and it is loaded, I just want to show
the loaded child window. How can I create an MDI interface that will dock a
treeview on the left of the form and display the program on the right. I
tried using a split container but cannot find code to load a form into a
split container. How can I detect a loaded child window. Thanks.
