How to know instance name?

[Angel Mateos]

Is posible something like this?

public Class Class1
property readonly InstanceName
get
return me.InstanceName
endget
end property
end class

(...)

dim MyVariable as Class1
msgbox class1.InstanceName -> shows MyVariable

(..)
Thanks!

Just return a private member instead of calling the property again. Here you
call the property to returns the property value resulting in recursive
calls...

The example taken from the doc sis:
Class Class1
' Define a local variable to store the property value.
Private PropertyValue As String
' Define the property.
Public Property Prop1() As String
Get
' The Get property procedure is called when the value
' of a property is retrieved.
Return PropertyValue
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
' The Set property procedure is called when the value
' of a property is modified.
' The value to be assigned is passed in the argument to Set.
PropertyValue = Value
End Set
End Property
End Class

sorry but what I want to know is the name of the variable that has
instanciated the class

Thanks

Variables don't have "names", the word you see in the code is simply for
your convenience; the reality is that the compiler knows variables as
addresses in memory.

It would certainly be impossible for a class to be able to return any one
name, as there could be thousands of instances of the same class.

Not sure to understand (a variable doesn't instanciate a class, code does).

IMO your best bet is to explain us what you are trying to do (non
technically) so that one can suggest a solution. If you meant you would like
to know the name of a variable that "represents" a class instance this is
AFAIK not possible (names are just programming "symbols" for human, the
computer uses a pointer) plus you could have multiple variables etc...
referencing the same instance.

Explain rather what you are trying to do...
