getPrices

[gvigliani]

Good morning everyone.
I use the Com to upload the races and all the information regarding the races themselves.
I can't understand why getPrices always or almost always detects fewer participants (Horses or Greyhounds)

Code: Select all

If ba Is Nothing Then
    Set ba = New BettingAssistantCom.ComClass
End If
Dim prices
Dim price
prices = ba.getPrices
For Each price In prices
     nn
     nn
     nn
     nn
next price



Thank you

Are you sure it isn't just excluding non runners?

[gvigliani]

Thank you ,

Absolutely no.
I have also thought about this but by checking on the Betting Assistant and also on Betfair.com
all the competitors are starters

Are you saying there are markets where you cannot retrieve prices for all selections with getPrices? There isn't a bug that I am aware of. Unfortunately, your code sample isn't enough to provide evidence. I see you are asking for an example in VB.Net. I will provide one which uses getPrices()

Yesterday, the Get Prices function gave me an error on a match that had ended:
"Run Time Error 10
This Array is fixed or temporarely locked. "
Is there any way to catch errors on this function?
Thank you

There will be a way, but it depends on which language how it is implemented. Are you using VBA or VB.Net?

[GaryRussell]

If you are using VB.Net then code something like the following:-

Code: Select all

        Dim prices() As Object
        Try
            prices = BA.getPrices()
        Catch ex As Exception
            ' Error handling code goes here
        End Try

I'm using VBA.

Thanks

In VBA then code something like the following. It's not as elegant as VB.Net

Code: Select all

    Dim prices() As Variant
    Dim price As Variant
   ' If any of the following statements fail then execution will resume after pricesProcessed:
    On Error GoTo pricesProcessed
    prices = ba.getPrices()
    For Each price In prices
        Debug.Print price.backOdds1
    Next
pricesProcessed:
    On Error GoTo 0 ' turns off error trapping
