Creating objects dynamically in a loop

[RSH]

Hi,

i have a situation where I need to dynamically create objects in a loop. My
question surrounds intantiation naming in such a scenerio.

Below is a snippet that is basically hardcoding each object. My problem is
that I would like to create the objects dynamically but I can't figure out
how to do it
How would I go about dynamically creating the required objects so that I
could be using anywhere from 2 - 10 etc. ?



Thanks,

Ron



for x as integer = 1 to num

If x = 1 Then

' Create Object 1 ----------------------------

oDT1 = New DataTable

oDT1 = oDS.Tables(0).C lone

For i = min To max

oDT1.ImportRow( oDS.Tables(0).R ows(i))

Next

Dim oCompanyProcess 1 As New CompanyWorkerCl ass(oDT1, strServer, "TH1")

AddHandler oCompanyProcess 1.LineProcessed , AddressOf ClickCounter

AddHandler oCompanyProcess 1.Finished, AddressOf ThreadFinished

Dim t1 = New Thread(AddressO f oCompanyProcess 1.ProcessDataRe port)

t1.Start()



ElseIf x = 2 Then

' Create Object 2 --------------------------

oDT2 = New DataTable

oDT2 = oDS.Tables(0).C lone

For i = min To max

oDT2.ImportRow( oDS.Tables(0).R ows(i))

Next

Dim oCompanyProcess 2 As New CompanyWorkerCl ass(oDT2, strServer, "TH2")

AddHandler oCompanyProcess 2.LineProcessed , AddressOf ClickCounter

AddHandler oCompanyProcess 2.Finished, AddressOf ThreadFinished

Dim t2 = New Thread(AddressO f oCompanyProcess 2.ProcessDataRe port)

t2.Start()



ElseIf x = 3 Then

' Create Object 3 ----------------

oDT3 = New DataTable

oDT3 = oDS.Tables(0).C lone

For i = min To max

oDT3.ImportRow( oDS.Tables(0).R ows(i))

Next

Dim oCompanyProcess 3 As New CompanyWorkerCl ass(oDT3, strServer, "TH3")

AddHandler oCompanyProcess 3.LineProcessed , AddressOf ClickCounter

AddHandler oCompanyProcess 3.Finished, AddressOf ThreadFinished

Dim t3 = New Thread(AddressO f oCompanyProcess 3.ProcessDataRe port)

t3.Start()

next

Use an array of DataTable, something like

Dim oDTs(2) As DataTable

Mattias,

I would use the private keyword to show this instead of the ancient Dim in
this place.

Private oDTs(2) As DataTable

Re: Creating objects dynamically in a loop

That may handle his creation and loading problems but that alone won't solve
his Dim oCompanyProcess 1, 2, 3... and the multiple threads.

Frankly I believe you're going to have to create a class to encapsulate all
your knicknacks. The collection you create would be a collection of
whatever objects you call those things. The class would contain the
DataTable, your process, handler and thread. Now they don't have to be
named differently since there wrapped up in something more concrete.

It's time for folks to stop thinking "code" and started thinking "classes".

I assumed they were local variables.

Right, I didn't want to spell out all the changes. I hoped the
original poster would figure out the rest, since the principle is the
same for oCompanyProcess X. As for the threads, unless he needs to keep
references to each Thread object he could just reuse the same
variable.

Re: Creating objects dynamically in a loop

Mattias,

I thought that your idea around the sample was to place it global
