How to get more than one value from a function or sub routine - Part III
In my previous article we have seen using the array and collection object to get more than one processed value from a function.
In this section, we will see one more method of getting the processed data from the function.
I believe most of you will be familer with structure. If not take a quick look at my previouse article Sturcture in VB.NET Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV, Part V.
Now Let see how to implement the structure to get more than one processed data from the function.
As we all know structure is a collection of one or more variable, possibly of different data types, grouped together under a single name for convenient handling.
So, we can group all the data which needs to be returned by the function, into a Structure and then we can return the structure object.
So, using the structes we can indirectly get more than one processed data from the function.
Now, lets see how the function which we built in our previous article can be changed to use the structure.
I need a function which will return me the day of the week, month in words, Hour, minutes and seconds in Integer.
Structure DateData
Public strday As String
Public intmon As Integer
Public inthour As Integer
Public intmin As Integer
Public intsec As Integer
End Structure
Public Function ReturnDateInfo() As DateData
Dim dd As New DateData()
dd.strday = Format(DateTime.Today, "dddd")
dd.intmon = Month(DateTime.Today)
dd.inthour = Hour(DateTime.Now)
dd.intmin = Minute(DateTime.Now)
dd.intsec = Second(DateTime.Now)
Return dd
End Function
Is that not simple.
Note
This hold good for both C#, VB.Net
