Display all the class name / objects

Hola,

I have this project where I created a lots of class and I need to process all the class/objects from this specific folder in my project named "Tables"

Attachment 181817

I already created the routine to get the real work done and I just doesn't want to type all the contents of the folder "Tables" to have them processed.

Is there any way to read and process all the class under the folder "Tables"?

Thanks in advance!

Perhaps you could actually explain what "process" means. You generally don't "process" classes, but instances of classes, i.e. objects. Those objects can be created in many ways but it's generally not "reading" from a folder in a project. In short, provide a FULL and CLEAR explanation of the problem.

When the program is running, that folder isn't really there, unless the program is looking back to the project that developed it and is manipulating the source code from which it is built. That seems pretty improbable, though.

You create your instance of your classes the same ways that if they weren't in a folder. VS doesn't care of the folder for the class so you just need :

Code:

---

dim att as new attendance
dim bene as new benefits
etc ....

Reflection is what you're looking for, but i don't know how you'd differentiate which folder your classes are in...

If things have been done properly, those folders map to child namespaces. If things haven't done properly, there is no way to differentiate the folders because the folders don't exist as far as the types are concerned.

Process, I created a function that will process all those classes.

Code:

---

Call Extract(input table name, var1, var2, var3)

---

I was thinking like using something like this but it seems not possible.

Code:

---

For each cls in folder Tables
    Call Extract(cls, var1, var2, var3)
Next cls

---

Thanks for all the replies and inputs. I will just create an instance of each class.

Stay safe everyone.

How is that an explanation of everything? If I ask you what X means I don't expect you to say "it means X". I meant what does the the function actually do. You know, an EXPLANATION.

There is no folder at runtime. That folder is part of your project and the project doesn't exist, as far as the compiled EXE is concerned. Sure, you could write code that assumes that the EXE is located in the output folder under the project folder but that isn't going to be valid if you deploy the EXE somewhere. You could write code such that the user provides a folder path at run time and you then examine that folder, but that's not something special that you should need our help with. Beyond that, we can't really help you do what you want to do if you won't explain what it is you want to do.
