.net - Difference Between String.Sort And Greater Than/Less Than Operators .Net?

Sep 28, 2011

I have a simple routine to find the next object based on a name property in an un-ordered collection of objects. I go through the collection and collect all the names in a List(of String) adding any names that are > my current name, which should give a list of everything that comes after the current key. I then sort the list using the default .Sort() method on the List(of String) and take the first item in the list, which should be my next item. I do the reverse to find the previous item, add all items < my current name, sort, and take the last item in the list.

However, this method skips over some items. For example I have items named 1210, 1210-ADA, and 1210_ADA_DB. Using this method, getting the next item skips the middle item 1210-ADA and finds 1210_ADA_DB, but finding the previous item seems to work.

Missing Operators - Operators Are Not Visible Although They Are There Since The Program Will Work?

Feb 17, 2012

I recently installed visual studio 2010 and am using visual basic.The problem I am having is that some operators do not show up within the editor. For example the code line below
test = 3 + 5 - 6 / 7 * 4

only displays

test 3 5 - 6 / 7 * 4

the = + operators are not visible although they are there since the program will work as intended....and if I open up the .vb file in notepad everything is there. It just won't display within Visual Studio.

Unit Testing - Use Assert.AreEqual To Evaluate If String Is Greater Than A Certain Length

Feb 1, 2011

I'm wondering how to evaluate an expression using the assert object. The idea is to check if a string is longer then what is minimally acceptable. For example, Assert.AreEqual(stringName.length, >5). I know this method doesn't work but the concept is what I'm trying to get across. Is there a way to test this?

Array.Sort(array) - Specify A Numeral Sort Based On The First Character In The String?

Jan 29, 2009

Sub Sort()
ReDim RollsCC(NumOfPlayers - 1)
For N As Integer = 0 To (NumOfPlayers - 1)[code]....

Here I am creating a temp single dimensional array, merging my 2d array into it, and then attempting to sort it by Rolls(N,1), which is a integer 1-6, Everything seems to be working right with the exception of this.

RollsCC.Sort(RollsCC, 0, 1)

How would one specify a numeral sort based on the first character in the string? im aware that I am switching Rolls(n,1) and Rolls(n,0) information during the sort.

Sorting - Sort List(of String()) Using A Variable Index Into String() As Key ?

May 30, 2012

I have a List(of String()). I have written a custom comparer (implements IComparer(of string)) to do an alphanumeric sort.Is there a way to sort the List using a given index to determine which position in the String() to sort by? In other words one time I might sort by Index = 0 and another time by Index = 3. The length of all String() in the list is the same.For reference this question is similar to Sort List<String[]> except I am using VB.net and that question is hardwired to Index=0.

EDIT from OP's comments:I started simple with the non custom comparer but I am getting an error: expression does not produce a value. Not sure what I am doing wrong.Here is the code:

Public Shared Function SortListOfStringArray(ByVal ListOfStringArray As List(Of String()), ByVal SortByIndex As Integer) As List(Of String())
Return ListOfStringArray.Sort(Function(x, y) x(SortByIndex).CompareTo(y(SortByIndex)))
End Function

VS 2005 - Sort String Contains Property That Is Not In IBindingList

I am using the following code to load a file into my program, everything works fine. When I open a new file everything works fine unless I have this line inserted:

How would one code a button so upon cliking it items in listbox would sort either ascending or descending (depends on the button clicked).

Sort String - Arranging Line In Ascending Order

Sep 7, 2009

HR_ICH_HUB_CLK66_R P1567 109761, 68424 39MIL;

From the above line I have to look the last word MIL. Then I need to arrange the line in ascending orders according to 30MIL,50MIL, 75MIL and 100MIL. Can I use IComparer? Because here I dont know how I can reach the word MIL and sort.
