 CONTROL STRUCTURE

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 33

 Control Structure

 Program Executes The Statement One After Other.

 Control Structure Change The Flow OF Execution Of
These Statements.
 Control Structure Are Classified Into Three Groups:
 1) Decision Making / Conditional Statements
 2) Looping
 3) Other Statements

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 34

 1) Decision Making /
Conditional Statements

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 35

 1) Decision Making / Conditional Statements

 According To Value Of Variable, Control Flow Can Be

Changed For The Execution.
 Two Statements Of This Category:
 If – Else
 Select Case

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 36

 1) Decision Making : If - Else

 Syntax:
If <condition> Then
[statement]
ElseIf <condition> Then
[statement]
Else
[statement]
EndIf

 DATA STRUCTURE

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 55

 Data Structure In VB .NET

 DS is a way of storing & organizing data in computer,

so that it can be used efficiently.
 Different kind of DS are suited for different kind of
applications.
 Some DS are highly specialized for specific tasks.
 Various DS Are:
 Array
 Array Lists
 Enumeration

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 56

 1) Array

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 57

 1) Array

 Array can hold collection of values of same type.

 Element
 Variable in an array is called Element.

 Array has name & its elements can be accessed by

Index or Subscript.
 Array can be single, double or multi dimension.
 Lower Bound (LB) of all dimension array start with O.
 Array is reference type.
 Types of Array:
 Static Array
 Dynamic Array
28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 58
 1) Array : Static Array

 Size of Static Array remain same even at runtime.

 If Array is declared as Object type, we can store
different types of Data Type.
 Syntax:
Dim a(5) As Integer

Dim b(3,5) As String

Dim c( ) As Single = {10.1 , 24.7}

Dim d(3) As Object

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 59
 1) Array : Static Array

 Example:

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 60

 1) Array : Dynamic Array

 Size of Dynamic Array changes during execution.

 Used when you don’t know the size of Array.
 Size of Array not provided during declaration.
 Redim
 After declaration no one change the data type .

 Preserve
 Preserve data without losing when dimension of array change.

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 61

 1) Array : Dynamic Array

 Syntax:
Dim a( ) As String
Redim a(5)

Dim b( , ) As Integer
Redim b(3,2)
ReDim Preserve b(3,4)

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 62

 Determine upper bound of array.

 Lbound (arrayname)
 Determine lower bound of array.

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 64

 2) Array Lists

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 65

 2) Array Lists

 Flexible Data Structure.

 List can Grow & Shrink dynamically.
 Contain list of values, on which we can perform
operations like Add, Delete etc.

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 66

 2) Array Lists : Properties & Functions

 Add

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 71

 3) Enumerations

 Enumeration is set of related constants that define a

value type, where each constant is known as member
of Enumeration.
 Work for many constant of same type.
 It set object properties & specify values that are passed
to methods.
 Syntax:
[access modifier] Enum name
<Member List>
End Enum
28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 72

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 86

 PROCEDURES & FUNCTIONS

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 87

 Procedures & Functions

 They are group of related commands that perform

certain tasks and also called subprogram.
 Used for repeated task.
 Modular & easy to maintain.
 Easy to debug
 Any changes to code, you have to make changes only in
procedures, not every place of code.
 Subprograms can be invoked from calling block.
 Control transfer to procedure & after execution, return
back to calling procedure.

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 88

 Procedures & Functions

 Argument which is passed can be variable, constant or

expression.
 You can write the procedure in module, class module
and form module.
 Procedure of class module support OOP concept.
 There are four types of procedure:
 Sub Procedure
 Function Procedure
 Event Procedure
 Invoked according to action associated with controls.
 Property Procedure
28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 89
 1) Sub Procedure

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 90

 1) Sub Procedure

 Sub Procedure can not return value.

 Parentheses are not optional in VB .NET
 Even no parameters still procedure enclosed using
empty parentheses.
 For calling, procedure name followed by parameters.
 Syntax:
[Access Specifier] sub Name (Arg As DataType, …)
<Statement>
End Sub

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 91

 1) Sub Procedure

 Example:

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 92

 1) Sub Procedure

 Example:

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 93

 2) Function Procedure

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 94

 2) Function Procedure

 Return a value back to calling program.

 Function can return values in two ways:
 Using Return statement

 Assign value to function name, like VB

 If return data type is not mentioned, Object type will

be default one.
 Function can also called same as procedure.
 Syntax:
[Access Specifier] Function Name (Arg As DataType, …) [As DataType]
<Statement>
End Sub
28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 95
 2) Function Procedure

 Example:

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 96

 3) Event Procedure

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 97

 3) Event Procedure

 Events are actions associate with object.

 Foam Load

 Button Click

 Mouse Click

 Events can be raised by user action, by system or by

code itself.
 User can write code to handle events, called event
handling procedures.
 By these procedures, we can call the sub or function
procedures, called implicitly.

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 98

 PARAMETER PASSING

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 99

 Passing Parameter

 Code in a procedure needs some information about the

state of the program to do the job.
 These are passed to procedures as arguments.
 There are two ways:
 Pass By Value
 Pass By Reference

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 100

 1) Pass By Value

 Default mode of passing arguments.

 Copy of argument is passed to the procedure.
 Any change in value never affect the original variable,
but only affect the copy.
 ByVal keyword is used explicitly, otherwise compiler
automatically inserts this keyword.
 Syntax:
Public Sub disp (ByVal a As Integer)
<statements>
End Sub
28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 101
 2) Pass By Reference

 Address of argument is passed to procedure.

 Procedure can change its value permanently.
 Procedure have full access to argument.
 ByRef keyword is used.
 Syntax:
Public Sub disp (ByRef a As Integer)
<statements>
End Sub

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 102

 3) Optional Argument

 Optional argument is passed to provide some optional

argument with default value.
 If we not pass value of argument, default value will be
substituted.

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 103

 4) Named Argument

 Argument data type can’t be changed when we pass the

arguments to procedure.
 Using Named Argument, we can pass the value by
providing Argument Name followed by colon, an equal
sign and argument value.
 Arguments can be passed in any order.

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 104

 CREATING & USING
NAMESPACE

28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 105

 Creating & Using Namespace

 Namespace allows you to create your own namespaces

for holding classes.
 By default classes are created in root namespace that is
based on your project name.
 Syntax:
Namespace <namespace name>
Class <class name>
Members
End Class
End Namespace
28-11-2014 ANKIT VERMA 106
