I have a struct setup like the following[code]...
I then loop through a counter and add each PersonInfo object to the Dictionary. The Primary defaults to false if the Code is already in the Dictionary, but if it has not been inserted into the Dictionary, I want to set the Primary to True. It would be easy to check if the Code was the key, but I can't because the Code is not unique.
I have the following
Public Structure Foo
dim i as integer
End Structure

In other words the values of the last row used are stored in every key, value dictionary combination. How do you prevent this from happening? It is clearly associated with the use of the temp variable, as the dictionary changed as the temp variable changes. Is there a way to only copy the values from the array rather then associate the dictionary with the changing values of the array?
What I would like to do is be able to take a Dictionary of key value pairs and make the key the name of a variable and the value the value. From searching the net seems to be very vague on whether this is possible.

way that I can create a program that has the ability to check spelling that are being entered by a user or even displays a definition of a word? For example, when a user keys in a word in textbox then displays a definition into another tetbox but the main concern here is the source of the definition. Of course, it would be a very long task if i would manually encode words and their definitions in a database and retrieve them. I mean, can I just retrieve definition from a dictionary source, like maybe
View 1 RepliesSo I had a smart idea to make a dictionary with all my variables so I could save them easily in chunks. This includes String, Boolean and Integers. When I was in Framework 3.5 I only had a few warnings about stuff that I didn't have coded in, but now in Framework 4 I am maxing out all my warnings with Implicit conversions. Personally I don't want to go to every number and put quotes around it put quotes around "True" because then it may change the method.
Public Function loadGeneral(ByVal fName As String) As Boolean
Dim tempDict As New Dictionary(Of String, String)
For Each kvp As KeyValuePair(Of String, String) In GeneralSettings
Dim v1 As String = kvp.Key
Dim v2 As String = QuizZing.My.Settings.GetSetting(fName, v1)

I want to group items from a linq query under a header, so that for each header I have a list of objects that match the header title. I assumed the solution would be to use ToDictionary to convert the objects, but this allows only one object per "group" (or dictionary key). I assumed I could create the dictionary of type (String, List Of()), but I can't figure out how to write it. As an example I have written a simplified version below.

I have created a class with a function in it. I have a collection of data I want to pass back. I tried an arraylist first. Now I am trying to use a dictionary. My problem is that it creates the dictionary ok, but I am only get the last row of data from my

I have the following object:
countDictionary As Dictionary(of Category, Dictionary(of Date, Integer))
The Class has a Enumeration Property. For the purposes of demonstration, I'll call it MasterCategory.I have been trying to get out an object that looks like the following:
groupedCountDictionary As Dictionary(of MasterCategory, Dictionary(of Date, Integer)
The best result I could get was:
Lookup(of MasterCategory, Dictionary(of Date, Integer))
From:
countDictionary.ToLookup(Function(o) o.Key.MasterCategory, Function(o) o.Value)
Which results in a IEnumerable (Of Dictionary(of Date, Integer)) for each MasterCategory value.However, I need that IEnumerable of Dictionary flattened to one dictionary with all the integers summed (total counts) for each date. I then tried to use various selects and group bys (from numerous stackoverflow posts) to "flatten" it, but my efforts have fallen short.
Current Code
[Category Class]
- MasterCategory As Enum
- Name As String etc

I have created a Dictionary class (MyDictionary for the example). I am currently trying to pass MyDictionary into a function, filter it into a new instance of MyDictionary and pass this new instance into another method. When I am attempting to create the second instance from the filtered first instance of MyDictionary via Lambda Expressions and the ToDictionary Method, I am getting the following error:
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.Int32,System.String]' to type 'MyDictionary'. I have simplified the example and recreated it in LINQPad and am getting the same error.

Trying to setup a VB array (jagged array?) that has an entry for each rcd that contains the # of bytes in the data, as well the data. If it's possible how do you setup and loop through something like this is VB?
EX (1024 max bytes of data but it could vary):
struct inpRcd {
int rcdSize;
byte data[MAX_RCD_BYTES];
} inpRcds[MAX_RCDS]
1- How can I check the size of a variable? Size in bytes, not length. (;
2- What data can be stored into byte variables? And what the maxium size of the variable?
3- How do I store data inside a byte variable?
To check if a setting has been set, I currently use:
If My.Settings.Username <> "" Then If this the best way to check? Is there a better way?
I have got a question to you. I want to know how I can check the listview items in form1.listview1.items and me.listview1.items to see that if both listview have got the same text property of the items then display the messagebox that says "you can't add the same items again. Please select a different item and try again!", otherwise display the messagebox that says "the items have been added".

I am looking into generics in .NET, and was wondering about the where T : struct constraint. I understand that this allows you to restrict the type used to be a value type. My question is, without any type constraint, you can do a limited number of operations on T. Do you gain the ability to use any additional operations when you specify where T : struct, or is the only value in restricting the types you can pass in?
I guess the question I am actually asking is that if I were to write, (in a discussion about how to use generics), "Now that you have constrained the type argument to value types, you can also do _________ on/with objects of that type", Is there anything to put in that blank? I can think of things for the other constraints, but not this one.

I have a BaseClass, a DerivedClass1 and a DerivedClass2 from a third party library. DerivedClass1 and DerivedClass2 both inherit from BaseClass.There's a ContainerClass, from the same library, with a member variable ActiveItem, which can be of DerivedClass1 or DerivedClass2, so it is declared as BaseClass.I want to know if ActiveItem is of DerivedClass1, as it can change in runtime without notice.If I do
Dim isDerivedClass1 as boolean = TypeOf(oject.ActiveItem) Is DerivedClass1
then I get a compile time error, telling me that ActiveItem can never be of DerivedClass1 type.I have tried several combinations of GetType and TypeOf but it doesn't seem possible to check this. I have also tried to declare an auxiliary DerivedClass1 variable and comparing their types, but haven't got any luck either.
