.net Collections: Copy Objects From One Collection To Another?

Nov 24, 2011

I'm implementing a customized Graph algorithm in vb.net, and I'm having the following problem:

Supose the code:

dim col as new collection
dim myC as new system.collections.genericList(of myClass)
dim obj1 as new myClass
dim obj2 as new myClass

[code].....

'In the next statement, the myC2 inside col collection will be decreased to contain 'only obj1, like myC. I supose this is for myC and myC2 contains only a pointer to 'objects obj1 and obj2 as well col contains pointers to myC and myC2 myC.remove(obj2)'The problem is that I have to only copy myC to myC2, like a ByVal argument in a function,'instead a ByRef argument, in order to mantain a copy of objects in myC2 while these 'objects should be removed from myC. How should I do it?

Dereferencing Objects - Make CopiedCollection A True Copy (not A Reference) To The Listbox1.Items Collection?

Jun 30, 2010

Okay I've been wondering about this for a while now, but whenever you assign variable values to objects they tend to just become references to the original object

For example:

Dim copiedCollection As ListBox.ObjectCollection = ListBox1.Items
For Each L As String In copiedCollection
If L = "Goodbye" Then ListBox1.Items.Remove(L)
Next

As soon as it encounters the string "Goodbye" and removes the item from the listbox, the program will throw an error saying the the collection (copiedCollection) has been modified. How can I make copiedCollection a true copy (not a reference) to the Listbox1.Items collection?

Create A Collection Of Collections?

Sep 16, 2009

Is there a way to create a collection of collections? e.g. I created a collection ListOf(Lines) After I add all my lines to it, I want to store this colleciton in another listOf(Collections). The reason I want to do this is because i want to create several separate collections of lines and I'll need to loop through them all to look for a certain line and I thought this would be a good approach if it's possible.

Sql Server - Obtain A List Of Collections Which Contain Objects Which Implement An Interface In C#

Aug 28, 2010

I am new to .Net Programming and would like to know if Reflection is suitable for traversing an Object to discover Collections within an instance of a class. I am working with the Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo Namespace.

The plan is to connect to a database, determine what collections exists, then for each of those collections, if the Collection exposes objects which implement the IScriptable Interface, generate a script for the object.How do i do the following (This is pseudo-code as I am seeking assistance with using reflection or some other method to do the following)

Automatically Recognize And Handle Changes Of An Item In A "System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection"

Feb 4, 2011

I wanted to create a custom control with a custom Item-Collection in it.(Similar to the ListView Items, but with other properties)I wrote a Class that holds properties of a single Item data (ClassItemData) and another class that "Inherits System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection(Of ClassItemData)". The Collection class contains a public event (ItemCollectionChanged) which is raised when "ClearItems", "InsertItem", "RemoveItem" or "SetItem" is called. (I used "Overrides" on all these functions and added the Raise Event to them.) The event is handled in the custom control itself and causes the control to refresh/repaint itself. The collection class contains also "Default Public Overloads ReadOnly Property Item(ByVal index As Int32) As ClassItemData" which returns the Item at the speciefic index.

The control refreshes itself when I place the control on a form and use code like: ControlName.Items.Add("TestItem") Unfortunately the control does not refresh itself when I use: ControlName.Items.Item(0).Visible = False The value of the Item itself has changed after this, but the control does know about the changes and does not refresh itself. If I do a manual repaint/refresh of the control, it looks all fine, but it does not work automatically. Does anyone know, what I have to add, so I can handle an event or something in the control when a property in the ItemData class has changed? How do I recognize changes in existing items and raise an event in the custom event?

Collection Of Objects With A Unique Key

Jan 25, 2011

i've researched and written a generic class (all my objects are the same structure) and i'm was just working on the collection using a hash table but i've just read a comment within (url...) in this forum...that we shouldn't use hashtables at all with vs2008.i actually need and object collection that contains other object collections within them.the application i'm trying to write is relatively simple (but i'm new to vb.net)it keeps track of the time for weight lifting training/workouts.a workout consists of 'say' a bench press, military press, curls, dead lift, etc within the "bench" you have 1,2, or 3 sets (how many times you do "the bench", within a set you have 1,2,3 or 4 lifters, each lifter does reps.then it starts over with military press..i guess i could base it on a treeview type structure (with parent child type relationships) but i usually think in terms of collections it appears that a collectionbase has no key and i'd have to keep track of them on my own...

I have a question. I have a class of Cars that I need to display in a simpli-ish string if they will be sold or not base on their number.

I'd like to display a simple string like this:Cars to be sold: 1, 3-5, 7-8, 11, which is based of the .Sell value.Is there some kind of heuristic to create this kind of string in .NET or is it just a bunch of for/each and if/then and redimming of arrays?

How To Create Accumulator For Collection Objects

Apr 23, 2012

I am trying to maintain a total for multiple collection objects in a class. When I create a new object, it resets the total to zero, only adding the current value being passed to the function. I have tried to use a static variable, create a second variable to hold the old total while adding the new value. The base class holds the total value, while the sub class creates the new object that holds information. I am passing the new value to a function in the base class adding the new value to the total when each new record is created.

Pass Collection Of Objects To BackgroundWorker?

Nov 19, 2010

I have an object of type Dictionary(Of Int16, Polygon) and which contains sometimes up to 15 or so Polygons that i am creating bitmap files with the Polygon. This can take like 20 seconds sometimes so i was trying to pass the full Dictionary to background worker as an argument but i get an issue when trying to access each individual Polygon inside of the Dictionary because the Polygons still belong to the UI thread. How can I access the Polygons inside the Dictionary with the backgroundworker?

Dim worker As New BackgroundWorker
AddHandler worker.DoWork, AddressOf MeasurePolygons
AddHandler worker.RunWorkerCompleted, AddressOf WorkerCompleted
worker.RunWorkerAsync(PolygonCollection)

that is how im calling the thread. PolygonCollection is the Dictionary(Of Int16, Polygon) that contains all the polygons that i will be creating a bitmap file out of.

Sort Of A Collection Of Class Objects?

Feb 28, 2012

I'm having problems doing a sort of a custom collection. The collection is Device Classes which is a collection of Device Class. My sort does not produce an error but the treeview control shows nothing. I am not sure what I am missing. I'm guessing just a simple sort won't work here but I don't know what I'm missing in my code. Here's the code that creates the collection

[Code]...

Simply sorting the treeview will not work because it throws off the display of related info for a given device in listview controls. The collection itself needs to be sorted before the data is added to the treeview.

.net - Binding A Collection Of Objects To A ComboboxColumn In A DataGridView?

Jan 24, 2012

I have a GUI which allows the user to select a report to view/edit. When the user selects a report, it shows the Items in the report. The Item has many properties - most of which are binding properly. One of the properties is Owner, and this is bound to a ComboBoxColumn.

Report

Items

Owner

I have done something very similar to this a few times and had no problems when I set the DataPropertyName, DataSource, ValueMember, and DisplayMember. The only difference is that this time instead of the Item type having an OwnderID it actually has an instance of the Owner object.giving the items bound in the list a self-referencing property that allows them to return themselves for the purposes of setting the ValueMember.However, When I bind it this way:

OwnerColumn.DataPropertyName = "Owner"
OwnerColumn.DataSource = ownersBindingSource1
OwnerColumn.ValueMember = "Self"
OwnerColumn.DisplayMember = "OwnerName"

I get a lot of errors like: Unable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'Owner'.

and:

The following exception occurred in the DataGridView:

System.ArgumentException: DataGridViewComboBoxCell value is not valid.To replace this default dialog please handle the DataError event.I was able to get around some of these errors by binding it like this:

OwnerColumn.DataPropertyName = "Owner"
OwnerColumn.DataSource = ownersBindingSource1

and also by making the ToString function on the Owner display the OwnerName property. This seems pretty hacky though - and I think I'm misunderstanding something fundamental as it still does not function properly.

Collection To Place These Objects In For Easy Reference?

Nov 11, 2011

I have an error while using a collection that has been stumping me for years.I wrote a class to allow users to write equations in a txt file using RPN (stack based notation).The class runs through a select statement while reading the equation and then ends up with a final number as the answer. I have a collection to place these objects in for easy reference. For whatever reason I get random object reference not set to an instance of an object errors when there is nothing in the program that would remove objects from the collection, kill objects, or change the collection in any way. It is possible for one thread to call the calculate function while another thread calls the CurrentValue property. I'm not sure if this could be causing the error, but once it happens I get an error every time the program enters that code until I run out of memory.

Store Objects With Key In Some Sort Of Collection/Dictionary?

Jun 10, 2012

I need to Store Objects with Key like:

Key: <Fontname & FontSize> / Object: <Font Object>

Example content:

ArialRegular8 | <Corresponding Font Object>
ImpactItalic10 | <Corresponding Font Object>
TimesRomanRegular12 | <Corresponding Font Object>

These font types come from an external library, the real type is DocumentFont, I prefer not to store just values and recreate the font object later, so I need to store the object, and i want to be able to call Contains() later without looping. like for example Dictionary (of T Key, T Value), is this the best option? Also, to be able to call Contains(), i will have to overload function Contains() using an Interface or this is already built-in in some Collections / Dictionaries when using a String as Key?

Add Object To Collection (copy Not Reference)?

Mar 27, 2009

i have a user define object which i'm initializing with data from external datafiles.... the purpose of this object is to reduce the amount of disk/data access and processing required every time i need to add an instance of this object to a collection.so, whenever i add a copy of this object to a collection, i would simply reference the "base" object, and avoid having to process all the data and perform the conversion and so on...the issue is when i add the object

Collection.add(Base_Object, Key)

the collection ITEM is a Reference to the base object and not a copy.
