Consider the procedure
Private Sub Adder(ByVal Num1 As Integer, etc. )
End Sub
which called by Call Adder( TxtNum1,.) where TxtNum1 is a text box.
Why does Num1 accept the value as an integer when the actual parameter being
passed is of type string? Why no type mismatch error??
Many thanks

That's one of the "features" introduced at VB4, and commonly referred to as
"Evil Type Coercion". If VB can coerce, it does. Here's an article I wrote
on that, way back when:

IN fact, when you pass TxtNum1, you are passing a TextBox, not a string. VB also
finds the default property of the TextBox, which is Text, which is a string, and
then does ETC and passes the result. Since default properties can also get you
in trouble, it is usually considered better to use TxtNum1.Text directly:
If IsNumeric(TxtNu m1.Text) Then
Call Adder(CInt(TxtN um1.Text))

If I have a parameter that has an Object type (as opposed to something like
a string), can I make that parameter a CONST?
Right now, if you pass an object into a sub/function, that sub/function can
modify the object no matter how it's defined (ByVal or ByRef).
In some cases, I want to make sure that you cannot modify the object. Is
there a way to do that in VS2003 or the up comming VS2005?

Hi everyone,
I'm having a really simple problem - I can't seem to insert a null value
into the database. When I do it tells me that the procedure expects the parameter
and that I'm not providing it.
Well, I am, its just a null value!
The code is:

Dear all,
Within a web service you are able to receive or send soap header values.
Does the soap header could be a place to pass web service parameter function ?
If this is the case, wjat is the real benefits on passing paramter value in
sop header rather that function parameter ?
Thanks for your reply

I have an issue with a simple function that has to make a linear search
for a key into an array.
If the key is found in the array, the function it has to return 1 to the
caller and pass array index through a out parameter.
The issue is that the out parameter is not being updated.
If I return the position to the caller (instead to use a out parameter)
all is ok.
