Are there any generic classes available that can be used in VB.Net to
perform common tasks such as Database Access and Logging?

Huh? Database access in .NET (doesn't matter what language) is handled via
the classes that make up ADO.NET.

There aren't any generic classes for data access as such - the classes have
specific functionality based on the underlying data access technique (OleDB,
ODBC, etc). However, the classes implement a common interface; you can write
your own generic classes implementing these interfaces to allow for a more
generic data access layer.
eg: All Connection classes (SqlConnection, OdbcConnection, etc) implement
the IDbConnection interface. Similarly, all command classes (SqlCommand,
OleDbCommand, etc) implement the IDbCommand interface.

Is that what you were looking for?

hope that helps..

Robin,
You mean like the Data Access Application Bock:

http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;829028

Or the Exception Management Application Block:

http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;829026

Or the Logging Application Block:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ml/logging.asp
There are a number of other application blocks available at:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ServiceAgg.asp

Hope this helps
Jay

XMLSerializer using generic classes

by: Johnas Owan | last post by:

Hi! I'd like to build xml out of some c# classes with the XMLSerializer. My problem is: I have an envelope and want to fill it with different types of sub-nodes. But I don't like to build the envelope class for each subsystem class again and again. Instead the type of sub-node shall be choosen during runtime. Is there a way to use class inheritance or something like that?

C# 2.0 Generic Classes

by: Rod Bass | last post by:

I was disappointed to see that you can't use a parameter type as a base class for a generic class. I would find it extremely useful to extend a generic type of class (as is done nicely using C++ templates). For example: public class SoapClientProtocolWithHeaders<T>: T where T: System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol { protected NameValueCollection m_Headers = new NameValueCollection(); public NameValueCollection Headers...

sizeof(T) for C# 2.0 generic classes

Is there some way to determine size in bytes for a type parameter T in generic class cls<T>. For instance, I need some generic way to covert T array to an array of bytes and conversely, as in BitConverter.GetBytes. To create a buffer I'd like to have something like this T srcData; byte buffer = new byte;

Casting Generic Classes - Possible Solution

I'm posting this to get some feedback on wether I'm going in the right direction, and at the same time hopefully save others from going through the process.

Generic classes, inheritance and polimorphism

by: =?Utf-8?B?Sm9hcXVpbg==?= | last post by:

OK, this was hard to explain on a short title. Sorry. I have an abstract class (MustInherit) named Base, and a generic collection class named ColBase which can only take Base and derived classes as it's type. I also have an indefinite number of classes that inherit Base. I want to make a method on Base that returns a ColBase(of Base), but instead of ColBase(of Base) use the derived class.

I have a generic class defined. My "server" code wants to call methods on the generic class after I've assigned the type to it. I was trying to do this via a SELECT CASE statement but I can't seem to determine how to declare the object at the module level (so I can use it in several methods) but assign the type when I create the instance. Probably this isn't the appropriate way to use Generics so if there are suggestions, I'm open to...

Generic Class example and how to use Generic Classes (format)

by: raylopez99 | last post by:

Here is an example of a home grown generic class, representing a pair of values. Adapted from Jon Skeet's book "C# In Depth". The generic class is "sealed" for some reason (I think for performance) so you cannot derive from it, but that's optional. The main thing in this example is to show the right format for using these generic classes, which was not present in the code snippet in Skeet's book. Does anybody know why the .Equals...
