GET SUBNET LOCATION IN VB.NET

Re: GET SUBNET LOCATION IN VB.NET

You haven't yet created an instance of the "instance" variable, you've only
defined a place where a true instance can reside. You need to declare it
like this.

Dim instance As New ActiveDirectory Subnet(argument s)

where "arguments" are those values used to initialize the object. It requires
an active directory context, a subnet name, and an optional site name. Here
is the web page for the constructors.

ActiveDirectorySubnet Class (System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory)

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.directoryservices.activedirectory.activedirectorysubnet.activedirectorysubnet.aspx

The ActiveDirectorySubnet class represents a subnet in a Forest.

Re: GET SUBNET LOCATION IN VB.NET

Thanks, that takes it one step further.

I should get the subnet location for the computer that runs the program. Do
you have an example, for a newbie, on how to write that?

Re: GET SUBNET LOCATION IN VB.NET

I'm not an ActiveDirectory programmer, but it seems that the subnet is just
a standard TCP/IP subnet. The ActiveDirectory Subnet() method is looking for
a string subnet, so you would pass it "255.255.25 5.0" or whatever subnet
applies in your case.

It wasn't clear from your original question whether you simply made a typo,
or if you really weren't clear on what an instance of an object was. If it
is the latter, I highly recommend that you spend some time learning the basics
of .NET programming in Visual Basic, as instances and objects are pretty
much the central idea of .NET programming. If it was just an oversight or
a typo, then please forgive my forwardness in making this assumption.

Re: GET SUBNET LOCATION IN VB.NET

Thanks again, you are not on the wrong direction when assuming that I
haven't understood all of the basics yet. But it's getting better every
day, thanks to people like you answering stupid questions.

Once again, thank you for your help!!
