.net - Converting Linq To XML Result To Generic List?
Nov 22, 2009
I have a function that works great in C# that I'm converting to VB.Net. I'm having an issue converting the result set to a generic list in VB.net.
The code:
Public Function GetCategories() As List(Of Category)
Dim xmlDoc As XDocument = XDocument.Load("http://my_xml_api_url.com")
Dim categories = (From category In xmlDoc.Descendants("Table") _
Select New Category()).ToList(Of Category)()
Return categories
End Function
The error occurs when convertng the result via .ToList(Of Category)() The error:
Public Function ToList() As System.Collections.Generic.List(Of TSource)' defined in 'System.Linq.Enumerable' is not generic (or has no free type parameters) and so cannot have type arguments.
Category is a simple object I've created, stored in the App_Code directory.
I have the necessary "Imports System.Collections.Generic" reference in the file so I don't see why I can't convert the result set to a generic list.

I have a generic List(Of Customer). The customer class has a name, address, and phone number properties. I also have a property of another class that accepts a customer name array. I am able to do this by doing the following:
Dim names As String()
Dim i As Integer = 0
'customer.GetCustomers is a List(of Customer)
[Code]....
Is there a better way to convert this to a string array?

I am trying to avoid every single function affecting my response time.therefore my question is using ToArray while converting generic list to array, does this take significant response time?should I use array directly while building my array within for each or working with list of and then at the endusing ToArray? any difference?

I have a Generic.List(Of ImportedVehicle) - ImportedVehicle being a simple class as below.There is an enum property which is marked as public.When I serialize to XML using an XMLSerializer, the enum's value is just set to it's default value (which is NotAllocated) and doesn't actually represent the value that is set in code.[code]

I am trying to learn some VB.NET for my coo-op that starts next week, and for that reason i took my portfolio web site that is on C# and just started to converting it to VB.NET to get familiar with the syntax.
I am sure my problem is simple however i have a hard time solving it. I am trying to grab data with the linq query and then return it as list to bind to the Repeater.I have the following function:
[Code]...
And it would work fine. However if I try to use ToList() in VB.NET i am getting error that it cannot convert it from ling to sql List to the generic list. How do i do this convertion in VB.NET ? or maybe there is another way ?
I am decent when it comes to C# however somewhat lost with the VB.NET syntax.

I need to take a collection and group it via Linq but all the examples I've seen fail in some manner or other with some syntax difference that I can't quite lick.
My collection:
Dim a As New List(Of ProcessAlert)
a.Add(New ProcessAlert("0000112367", "5551110000@txt.att.net", "Alert", 2))
a.Add(New ProcessAlert("0000112367", "5551110000@txt.att.net", "Document", 2))

Dim tenItem = From t In _InvalidFeeList _
From i In ItemCount _
Where t.FeeCode <> i.FeeCode _
[Code]....
I am getting "Can not convert to System.generic.list" error. I look all over for this error and it seem like my code should work for example here
edit: I think i should explain what I'm trying to do here. I want to compare two object list and select the object from the InvalidFeeList if the FeeCode is not equal to the object in ItemCount FeeCode and take the first 10 objects from the InvalidFeeList.

Is it wrong? Please suggest me correct way.
Public Function ReadXML() As List(Of String)
Dim list As New List(Of String)
Dim xmlDoc As XDocument = XDocument.Load("C:\MappingFile.xml")

I am trying to create a list of a generic type in vb.net 2.0 framework.
This is the generic type definition:
Public Class GenericParamMap(Of T)
Public Sub New(ByVal pParamName As String, ByVal pPropValue As T)
mParamName = pParamName
[Code]....
The compiler does not allow a "T" in the method's parameter because it's not defined, but I'm not sure how or where to define it. I thought it was okay to have a generic method definition.

I'm looping all the properties in an object via reflection:
For Each p As PropertyInfo In values.[GetType]().GetProperties()
If p.CanRead Then
'Do stuff
End If
Next
how to determine whether the property in question is a generic List(Of T)? If it is I need to loop the list itself.
I've experimented with GetType and TypeOf but have not managed to get anything working.
To clarify, I want to keep this generic. I do not want to specify the type of T, I need to loop the list items and call the ToString method on each item. T could be one of a number of different types (application specific reference types). Is it possible to do this without specifying types?

it seems always at this time I cant figure out how to do something maybe it has something to do with lunchtime.
Im having trouble using a method that is defined by an outside company
This is a link to their integration guide:

This is their documentation for the class Im trying to use
OrderQueryWebService Class
This class is for SID in particular and is made for use with the notification methods. This is for the Order Query Web Service specifically, allowing clients to return the status of transactions for their merchant, whenever they want to.
Methods
/ <summary>
/ Pass through the variables required and receive a list of Transaction
objects showing transaction status
[Code].....
The MerchantCode, the MerchantUsername, the MerchantPassword are all good the List is a custom type called SetComHash.Transaction
Everytime I try adding a string to the list such as the transactionNumber and some other values it gives me a type error:
"Value of type string cannot be converted to 'SetcomHash.Transaction'

I have 3 similar functions, that only change based on numeric type:
<Extension()> _
Public Function ToNullableShort(ByVal str As String) As Short?
Dim intReturn As Short
[Code].....
I was trying to make a generic function out of this, but couldn't do it. How can I make a generic function that will take a specific T and make it a Nullable(of T)?

I wrote my own database handling code (actually, I write T4 text templating files that generate my database code for me) and part of it takes care of converting values from a database (as Objects) to the desired types.
I have been using this generic function successfully:
vb.net
Public Overridable Function ConvertType(Of T)(value As Object) As T
Try
Return If(value IsNot Nothing AndAlso value <> DBNull.Value, DirectCast(value, T), Nothing)
[Code]....
Simple enough, but it doesn't work... The return type of the function is (and must be) T, so I cannot return a Boolean because a Boolean cannot be converted to T!
Well... It can in this case, because I specifically check that T is Boolean, but the compiler doesn't know this so it doesn't allow me to return a Boolean. I cannot cast the boolean to T either.

As I am beginner in LINQ, I have small problems. I have dictionary of Char and Long, and I would like to use LINQ to retrieve Char with highest Long Value. I saw some C# samples, which look pretty easy, but I can't achieve such expression in VB.Here are two expressions, and I don't think they are most efficient possible.

I am creating a 'generic input dialog': InputDialog(Of T).The idea is that I can create new instances of this dialog for different values of T. For example,I can create an InputDialog(Of String) and it displays a textbox.I create an InputDialog(Of Boolean) and it displays two radiobuttons (I could use a Checkbox, irrelevant).I create an InputDialog(Of Date) and it shows a DateTimePicker.
I do this by simply checking the type of T at run-time.In this way it is not really generic, as the dialog still has to know which type T is (which is usually not the case), but the generic is in the fact that the T can be multiple types that require a TextBox. For example, InputDialog(Of String), (Of Integer), (Of Single), (Of Double), etc, all simply display a TextBox (and it is validated later),so I still want to use generics as much as possible.Anyway, the result of the dialog is of course a property of type T. This property needs to return the value in the textbox, converted from string to T, OR the value in the DateTimePicker, converted from Date to T,OR the checked property of the 'Yes' radiobutton, converted from Boolean to T.In order to convert from any object to T I googled and found this
vb.net
Imports System.ComponentModel Public Class GenericTypeConverter Public Shared Function FromObject(Of T)(ByVal value As Object) As T Dim tc As TypeConverter = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(GetType(T)) Return CType(tc.ConvertFrom(value), T) End Function End Class
I have to use this, I cannot simply CType a string to T since a String cannot be converted to any type T.So, my Result property looks like this at the moment:
vb.net
Public ReadOnly Property Result()[code].....
This actually works for Strings, Integers, Doubles, Singles, etc. I pass it the String in the textbox and it converts it to 'T'(note: T is then a String, Integer or Double!) just fine.So, it can convert a String to a String, Integer or Double without any problems (I am validating the text before using the Result property so it will always be a valid integer, double, etc).However, it does not work for a Boolean, nor for a DateTime. When I try that, it says "BooleanConverter cannot convert from System.Boolean" or "DateTimeConverter cannot convert from DateTime". I realize it is a bit of a strange thing, since the object already IS a Boolean or a Date(Time) so no conversion should be done at all, but this doesn't work in design-time because I need to return the objects as type T.I know that T will be Boolean when the value to be converted is a Boolean, and that T will be DateTime when the value to be converted is a DateTime, but the designer does not accept a simple CType. As I said, it does not accept this:
Return CType(rbYes.Checked, T)
because 'Boolean cannot be converted to T'.
However, I did find a way to make it work, but it seems like a complete hack... I can assign the boolean to an Object and then convert that using CType:
Dim obj As Object
obj = rbYes.Checked
Return CType(obj, T)
This works, it's accepted during design-time, and it works during run-time, but it seems very wrong... Is there no better way to handle this?

What would be the fastest way to sort a list that contains a list of objects, based upon another list? An example follows:Say I have multiple lists of employees. Each individual list has a common property value, say "Department". So I have a list of employees, in one list they all have the department string value of "Sales". In another list all the objects have a department value of "Finance". These lists of employees are then contained in a list which holds them all.
I have a second list, which should drives the sort order of the employee lists. The second list simply contains a list of strings like, "Finance", "Sales", "IT" and so on. I'd like my lists of customers to be sorted in the order of "Finance", "Sales", etc.I'm using VB.NET in .NET 2.0

I would like to implement a generic Linq query on a DataGridView.DataSource to retreive a row whith an idField. I did search MSDN, StackOverflow, etc... but didn't quite find what I'm looking for. how I could implement it ?
This is the non-generic code, but I would like to make it work whatever the type of the DataSource is (as long as it implements IEnumerable I guess) and the name and type of the key field.
Dim query = (From note In notesList _
Where note.IdNote = mIdNoteSelectionne _
Select note).FirstOrDefault()
Dim ancienIndex As Integer = notesList.IndexOf(query)
noteList is a List(Of Note), Note is a simple entity class I created, with just members and properties
This is in VB, but feel free to send some C# code, I'll translate it.

I wrote the following generic LINQ extension for calculating weighted average in Visual Basic 2010:
<Extension()>
Function WeightedAverage(Of T)(ByVal source As IEnumerable(Of T),

ByVal selectorWeight As Func(Of T, Integer)) As Double

Dim weightSum As Integer

How can I call this function as an Aggregate function of another LINQ query? I tried it in the following way:
Dim q1 = From jd In oContext.JobDatas
Where jd.Year = 2011
Select jd
Dim q2 = Aggregate num In q1 Into WeightedAverage(num.AvSalary, num.NumPosHolder)
The Visual Basic 2010 editor is telling me that the second query (q2) of the following code is not valid statement. On the comma between the first an second argument it's saying: ")" required.

I've long since built a way around this, but it still keeps bugging me... it doesnt help that my grasp of dynamic LINQ queries is still shakey.
For the example:
Parent has fields (ParentKey, ParentField)
Child has fields (ChildKey, ParentKey, ChildField)
Pet has fields (PetKey, ChildKey, PetField)
[Code].....
The above Join call doesnt work. I sort of understand why it doesnt work, but hopefully it'll show you how I tried to accomplish this task.
After all this was done I would have appended a Select to finish the job.
I tried it with the PredicateBuilder with little success. I might not know how to use it right but it felt like it wasnt gonna handle the joining.
