  Class file referencing a function to return a variable

  Jun 27, 2016 02:04 PM|sanjshah|LINK

  Hi,

  I have a class where I am setting values fro inclusion on other pages,

      Private Shared m_ucToDisplayForApplicant As String
      Public Shared Property ucToDisplayForApplicant() As String
          Get
              Return m_ucToDisplayForApplicant
          End Get
          Set(value As String)
              Dim s As String = value
              m_ucToDisplayForApplicant = value
          End Set
      End Property

      Public Shared Function ucType()
  
          Dim ucTypeToShow As String = HttpContext.Current.Session.Item("SelectedVar")
  
          Select Case ucTypeToShow 
              Case "1"
                  ucTypeToShow = "ucType1"
              Case "2"
                  ucTypeToShow = "ucType2"
              Case "3"
                  ucTypeToShow = "ucType3"
              Case Else
  
          End Select
  
          Return ucTypeToShow
  
      End Function

  
  I am trying to use this function to set the value on my pages but the value is always returned null

          ucToDisplayForApplicant = ucType()

  
  Any help is appreciated.

  Regards

  Hi,

  Have you tried the VS debugger to see if the else clause is called? If it not expected to be called you could also thrown an exception to show you run into an unexpected case.

  If not familiar with the debugger see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt243867.aspx
