Im trying to compare two lists,to find out how which items occur in both lists. I also want to test for duplication within a list.Now, the obvious way is a loop/compare which works fine for a low number of items. Beyond 10000 items, things slow down much more than a factor of 10.
Dim List1 As New List(Of String)
Dim List2 As New List(Of String)

I have a method where I'm taking a generic object and using TypeOf to check what has been passed through. Now I would like to pass it a List(Of T) (T being anything) and no matter what T is I'd like to do the same thing to this list. I tried the following:
public sub foo(ByVal obj As Object)
if TypeOf obj Is List(Of Object) Then
'do stuff
end if
end sub
but this doesn't seem to work if I pass it List(Of String), say. I suppose that List(Of Object) and List(Of String) are being treated as different objects, but I thought that since String is an object, the comparision might work.
Now I realise that this is as ugly as sin and I'm better off overloading the method to take List(Of T) as its parameter, but I'm mostly asking out of curiosity: is there a way of comparing the types List(Of Object1) and List(Of Object2) and getting a positive result, since they are both just List(Of T)?
Compare differences between lists?I have two sets of lists below[code]...
View 1 RepliesI declare my 2D lists:
Dim _invoiceitems As New List(Of List(Of String))
Dim _dbitems As New List(Of List(Of String))
Each List is filled like this: Example Code To fill:
_invoiceitems.Add(New List(Of String))
_invoiceitems(0).Add("Code #")
_invoiceitems(0).Add("Quantity")
Well, now i need a third list called (_changesitems) Note that this result with the differences: be the result of subtraction of quantities if this is found (dbitems - invoiceitems).
I have two generic lists of type T. Both lists contain same type, and I'd like to create a third list (or a filtered version of list 2) based on the items in list two that do not exist in List 1, based on the ID of each item.Each list holds a "Package" object, which has an ID property.Right now I mocked up the code using For Each loops, which I know is horrible (the Big O is constant time) so I'd like a more efficent method. this code is in VB per project requirments, but I prefer C# - so either code sample would work for me.

I have 4 string lists as follows
Dim input_list As New List(Of String) Dim input_POS As New List(Of String) Dim trigger_list As New List(Of String) Dim trigger_POS As New List(Of String)
I want to compare the contents of the input list (containing words (e.g., want, the) etc. to the ones of the trigger list (containign again words) and if a same entry (i.e. word) get the POS for both input word and trigger word from the relevant lists and put them into a property list. For example
input list (want, the, right)trigger list(want, there, wait)input list POS (verb, article, adjective)trigger list POS (verb, pronoun, verb)
Output property list (want:verb, want:verb) (only want is common between input and trigger list). Then I need to conduct a test between the two property items for similarites. If they are exactly the same, the code should output a confirmation "i.e., Yes" into a textbox. If not the code should output a "No" plus the contents of the property list into a textbox.
I have recently moved from VB 2003 to VB 2005. While I am finding a lot of the new features quite useful, I am having trouble with List (of T). I want to be able to do something like this
Function GetList(MyObjectType as Type) as datatable
Dim list as new List(of MyObjectType)
End Function
Function GetList(MyObjectType as String) as datatable
Dim list as new List(of GetType(MyObjectType))
End Function
VB 2005 does not allow me to do this at all. Must the "type of" be srongly declared at all times? Can't this be done dynamically?
I have two lists. One list is a list of names, the other list is a list of how many times each name is found in the first list noted in the database

Nick
John

10
13
13
2
is the second list. Nick had 10, john 13 and so on.I want to sort the second list from large to small, but have the index for the first list still linked to the correct amount of calls.i do it this way so I can
for x = 0 to num_of_names
string = lst_name(x) & "-" & lst_count(x)

I am self learning vb. Currently i am developing an accounting application(Just finished one form). This is the first time i have come across 'Option Compare'.I have few text comparisons in my first form, Currently i am comparing both the text's by converting it to lower. Should i change the option compare to Text and remove the ToLower conversions. Will it make difference in the performs and is setting the Option Compare to Text proper for this kind of applications.

What I want to do is search that array of objects for a particular object type.I have to do this in several places, so I'm trying to create a function where I pass in the object array and the type that I'm searching for, and have that function return the object that matches that type - or nothing if no match is found.I wrote the following, but it isn't working, so I'm missing something:

Right now I have a viewmodel that contains three lists of inputs; textboxinput, dropdownlistinput, and checkboxinput. Each of these lists is a list of input objects, which contain four values; paramenums, paramname, paramtype, and value. I am using these input lists to generate a variable number of fields on a form dependent on how many objects each list contains.
My current problem is that I'm not sure how to validate the variables in the list objects with fluent validation. I know how the behavior of each list should behave with regards to returning Nothing, but I don't know how to code that behavior with FluentValidation.
[Code]...
The thing I want to currently do is confirm that in every object in each of my lists, they all have a value attribute that isn't nothing. Can I do this by validating the input model? Right now, the code works at confirming that the list itself isn't null, but the objects in the list can still contain all null values. Is there a trivial way to do this? Alternatively, should I have set my code up differently?

how to grab, and lists all into a listbox?
I have referred to the following question at: Using foreach loop to iterate through two lists. My question is this, with regards to the chosen answer: Can the o.DoSomething be a comparison? As in:
For Each a in ListA.Concat(ListB)
If(a from ListA=a from ListB) Then
Do Something here
End If
Next
I'm using VB.Net and would like to know how I can do what I have shown here. That would basically be to iterate through a joined list separately/independently.
Is the size of Lists cached in some way (calculated the first time you call it, and then retained untill some change is made to it), or does it get calculated every time you call the Count property? Same question for arrays.

how I would be able to move a line from one list box to another?

I have 3 CheckListBoxes, and I want to save all of their "checked" states. I tried to change the code to save and load one to work for three, and this is what I came up with:
vb
Private Sub savechxlst()
Dim FileStream As New System.IO.FileStream("C:CheckedListBoxData.cld", IO.FileMode.Create)
[Code]....
Unfortunately, all this does is combine all of the checkboxes into one list (ChxLstSym), and leave the other lists (ChxLstAud and ChxLstEx) completely blank. By this I mean ChxLstSym ends up having 15 checkboxes instead of each of the 3 Lists having 5 checkboxes (Which is how it was before I saved and Loaded), though it does remember which boxes were checked originally.
Is there a way to fix this so that I can save and load the checked states for all three of the checklistboxes (ChxLstSym, ChxLstAud, and ChxLstEx) so that they are all in their own lists upon loading them?
I have a program that takes some data from a Dictionary object, runs a batch process on it and then puts the output into a second Dictionary. The issue that I'm having is that the batch process can only handle 1000 records at a time and sometimes the list is larger than that. Right now, I'm looping through the Dictionary, taking records 1 to 1000 and putting them into a Dictionaryof the same type to process, running the batch, looping through the results to add them to the second Dictionaryand then starting the loops again at record 1001.
Is there a more efficient way to do this to pull out the first 1000 records into another Dictionaryand then batch insert the results into the output Dictionary? It seems like the kind of thing there'd be a function for, but I'm not sure how to do it.
