Writing One 2D Array Onto Another?
Sep 7, 2009
It would be easy enough to make my own system for this, but I'm figuring that the .NET library, being as massive as it is, probably already has a class made for this very purpose.For hit detection, my VB.NET game uses two 2D arrays that store the state of each pixel in the level. Each element in these arrays is a Byte (or, more accurately, a value of a flag enumeration type based on Byte).
Public TiHD(,) As HitDT ''//State of each pixel in the level based on
''// its underlying tile.
Public SpHD(,) As HitDT ''//State of each pixel in the level based on[code].....
I would enjoy being able to just give each sprite & tile its own 2D array of hit detection data (defining which pixels of the object are solid, dangerous, etc) that can be directly written to TiHD or SpHD at a specified offset.I'm willing to bet that .NET has a class that can do this for me.Presumably I would just have to pass TiHD or SpHD to the constructor, and then I would be able to use the object to indirectly modify the array with extended functionality (similar to using a Graphics object to modify a Bitmap). Is there such a class?

I have an array that varries in number of values, depending on the information . I am trying to write the array values in a line in this format:Clients ("John,"Samantha","Joe")in this example I used Three values in the array, but in some senarios there might be more or less number of values.what would the best way to write this line in between brackets as I mentioned in the Eample.

I have a structure in memory which is working fine - now I need to write this entire structure to a file. The below code almost compiles, the problem is that "mstaRecordInfo" cannot be changed to a string, probably because of the Date field. I've just spent over an hour experimenting and searching the web but have gotten no closer to a solution.

Situation: I have a .csv file containing numerical values. I'd like to read the file and write the values to a 2-D array of the same form. Problem: I get all the rows of the .csv file written to a 1-D array. Looking at the code, I thinking I have the indexing for column and row positions incrementing properly but (besides experience in C#) I don't know what I'm missing. Below is the code accomplishing this.

I am trying to write a program that will use a Structure with <VBFixedString(4), VBFixedArray(10)> Public Test1() As String. Back in vb6 it was in the Type statement as Test1(10) as string *4 When I hit the line ".Test1(X) = TB1" i get the following error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I�m currently working on a school project and I have encountered a problem in my code. When i write the contents of my listbox to a file called stock.txt it seems write an invisible linebreak in-between each data entry, my problem is that when I load my array on the next form those invisible linebreaks causes my array to load the data incorrectly.
I have attached a pic of my stock.txt file
The Code that Edits and writes to stock.txt
Private Sub BtnRemove_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnRemove.Click
'Removes the selected item from the listbox then updates stock.txt

Now it seems like a really simple question and I may just be being thick, but what I'm trying to achieve is basically print an array to screen in the following format: Item 1, Item 2, Item 3, Item 4 Although I say to screen, as that was the best way I could describe it, I'm actually writing it to the page inside some Javascript. The way I'm currently going about writing it out is as follows:

I'm reading a txt file into an array and then writing a new file one line at a time. The reason i'm using array is that i'm searching for a few lines that i want to find and replace.
However in my file I have some ascii characters but they aren't read well. I read something about System.Text.Encoding.Default but I don't know how to implement it in my code.

I can write a 1-d string array to file with:
Dim test() As String = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
File.WriteAllLines("C:MyFile.txt", test)
but can't see how to write a 2-d array to file.
I've tried this:
Dim test(,) As String = {{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, {34, 22, 12, 33, 55}}
Dim myfile = File.CreateText("C:MyFile.txt")
Dim row, col As Integer

I am making the belated transition from VB6 to VB.NET (2008). I would appreciate some guidance on writing arrays to a file. I need to save and load large arrays of 4-byte floats (24 x 90,000 values is not uncommon). I can load or save them using nested for-next loops, but that's quite slow. I'd like to find a single operation that can read or write the binary data.In VB6 I could accomplish this (writing case shown) with Put #1 , , MyArray()I can read and write single variables from binary files without problems in .net. For example, [code]I have looked and looked, and Googled endlessly, but cannot find out how to accomplish a single-line numeric, floating-point array read or write in VB.NET.

I coded anything but I remember when using VB6 or Pascal/Delphi we used to define records/ structures with fixed length fields, then write those structures to a file knowing that they would always be the same length. You could then open a particular record within the file or simply find out how many records existed by reading the file length.From what I understand, it seems that such methods are depreciated in VB.NET and such structures are written as a stream.Does it now mean that we can define things like variable length strings and not need to worry about buffers or boundaries?Is it possible to read through such files and pick out individual records? Are there methods of determining how many records that exist in a file? What I'm looking to do is simply store multiple records of a structure in a file then retrieve them into an array so I can manipulate their order by sorting the array and search within the array. This is only a learning project so it is unlikely that the resultant array is going to be large, although if this is not generaly a good method of doing this then it might be interesting to fidn out what is. So far, I have read that they way to write a structure to a file is to "serialises" it and then write the bytes - is this correct?[code]

I've tried rewriting this code several times, it spits out the bytes correctly, but then when trying to read the array created from the memory stream, it's empty, what am I doing wrong?
Dim bytes() As Byte = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("test this shit")
Dim bytesString As String = ""
Dim i As Integer = 0
i = 0
Dim byteStream As New System.IO.MemoryStream

I am writing a 2D array to a text file.Is it digital map data, so I write each row at a time, and the format is readable by my map application.I have pasted the code below. The array is called edgegridArray. Everything else is pretty obvious. I don't know if streamwriter is the best way to do things,
Dim swr As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter("D:edgeoutput.txt")
swr.WriteLine("ncols " & cols - 2)
swr.WriteLine("nrows " & rows - 1)

I am attempting to gather a group of file names from a directory. I am able to do this. I tested the code by having the list populate into a listbox and all desired items were added to the list.
Here is my code:
Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo(strPath)
Dim dir1 As IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles("*.txt")
Dim dFiles As IO.FileInfo
ListBox.Items.Add(dFiles)
However, a listbox is not my desired output. I am attempting to write these file names to a text file for purposes of then parsing the information to a datatable to compare with another datatable. How to get my filenames written to a textfile.

I'm designing a small GUI Windows program that allow staff at a cinema to reserve seats for customers. There will be a total of 60 seats in the cinema. I have two classes in my program:-
1.) MainForm.vb - used for I/O actions and user interaction
2.) SeatManager.vb - used to hold and handle the background methods and functions that make the program work
Here is the code for my MainForm.vb class thusfar:-
Public Class MainForm
Private Const m_totalNumberOfSeats As Integer = 60
Private m_seatManager As SeatManager
[Code]....
Basically, when the program opens, the lstReservations list in the MainForm class will be populated with a total of 60 (m_totalNumberOfSeats) entries to represent 60 seats. Each of these seats will contain the index number from the array m_nameList; this index number (+1) will represent the seat number and then in the lstReservations list, after the seat number, I'd like it to contain the respective entry from the m_nameList array. As all entries will be held in RAM, when the GUI is opened, all m_nameList array entries will be empty. As the user uses the program, they can highlight a row in the lstReservations list and then use the GUI textboxes to enter the customer's name which will then be populated into the respective array entry.
how to, when the GUI opens, ensure that the lstReservations list takes all of the blank entries from the m_nameList array and from there, I can highlight a row to carry out further methods on?

I am trying to create the following program Store in a 1d array a set of 5 place names and in a 2d array the distances between the places. Ensure that the order of the places is the same in both arrays. When the names are places are input the distance between them is displayed. If they are not both in the table a suitable message is displayed

I've come up with the following and it's partly working.
Public serial1, serial2, serial3, serial4, serial5 As SerialPort
Public serialports() As Object = New Object() {serial1, serial2, serial3, serial4, serial5}
dComPort = "COM4"[code]....
The above code works fine! But im having trouble trying to now retreive whats stored in the array.In the above example, an entry will be stored in serialports(4), all other array elements will be blank.If I do this it works.
MsgBox(serialports(4).PortName) ' this retuns the value COM4
But I'd like to loop though all array elements and print out ALL the PortNames, The below code doesnt work, I get an error Object variable or With block variable not set.
For i = 0 To serialports.Length - 1
MsgBox(serialports(i).portname)

I didn't think it fair to post a comment on Fredrik Mörk's answer in this 2 year old post, so I thought I'd just ask it as a new question instead..NB: This is not a critiscm of the answer in any way, I'm simply trying to understand this all before delving into memory management / the marshal class.
In that answer, the function GetByteArray allocates memory to each object within the given array, within a loop.Would the GetByteArray function on the aforementioned post have benefited at all from allocating memory for the total size of the provided array:
Dim arrayBufferPtr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(Marshal.SizeOf(<arrayElement>) * <array>.Count)
I just wonder if allocating the memory, as shown in the answer, causes any kind of fragmentation? Assuming there may be fragmentation, would there be much of an impact to be concerned with? Would allocating the memory in the way I've shown force you to call IntPtr.ToInt## to obtain pointer offsets from the overall allocation pointer, and therefore force you to check the underlying architecture to ensure the correct method is used*1 or is there a better way? (ToInt32/ToInt64 depending on x86/64?)
*1 I read elsewhere that calling the wrong IntPtr.ToInt## will cause overflow exceptions. What I mean by that statement is would I use:
Dim anOffsetPtr As New IntPtr(arrayBufferPtr.ToInt## + (loopIndex * <arrayElementSize>))
I've read through a few articles on the VB.Net Marshal class and memory allocation; listed below, but if you know fo any other good articles I'm all ears![URL]..
