I've got the following to sort entities by their job position. The desired order ist defined in another array. In C# this code works:[code]However I will have to convert this to VB.net. I read the equivalent would be something like the following:[code]This does not compile, gives me "Expression expected" right after the Function(x). What am I doing wrong?
View 1 RepliesI'm getting my feet wet with Lambda expressions and it's rather overwhelming.I have a UserPrincipal object called SelectedUser. I wish to get a sorted list of the user's groups This is what I have so far but when I include that code my application's form flashes a few times and closes! Also, what is the significance of the "r" in the "Return From r" statement?
Dim SortedGroups As PrincipalSearchResult(Of Principal) = GetSortedGroups(Me.SelectedUser.GetGroups())
Private Function GetSortedGroups(ByVal psp As PrincipalSearchResult(Of Principal)) As PrincipalSearchResult(Of Principal)
Return From r In psp.OrderBy(Function(t) t.Name)
End Function
In looking at Fuzzy Date Time Picker Control in C# .NET? Piotr Czaapla's answer to that question is exactly what I need. unfortunately, I'm a VB.NET guy and I'm not that familiar with lambda expresions, so my attempts to convert the code have resulted in hours of misplaced parenthesis and banging my head with a brick.

How would you convert this to VB (using .NET 4.0 / VS2010) ?

I thought maybe like this:

But it says Function does not return a value on all code paths.
I am pretty confused about lambdas. What I am trying to do here is write a function that will return an object from a certain table with a certain criteria. So lets say I can write:
function GetRecord(TableName as string,Criteria as string) as object
'do the linq-stuff
end function
Now I don't care if the parameters are strings or lambdas or whatever, but the end result must be that at runtime I don't know which table and which criteria will be used. As sometimes I need to get a customer record by email and sometimes a product by id etc. If possible I would prefer returning a list of matching objects and then I would just use .firstordefault when I want 1 (such as by id...).
I am trying to pass a lambda function to Linq's orderby and cannot get it to work.

I am dumb founded at this statement....maybe its just too many hours/days of doing C# to VB.Net conversion but i am drawing a blank on this conversion.
List<string> sColors = new List<string>(this.CustomPaletteValues.Split(','));
try {
List<Color> colors = sColors.ConvertAll<Color>(s => (Color)(new ColorConverter().ConvertFromString(s)));
What i have so far:
Dim colors As List(Of Color) = sColors.ConvertAll(Of Color)(....)
As you can see its the content of the lambda that i am hitting a brick wall with.
Using lambda's in VB.Net results in no intellisense. Is this a bug with VS2010 or expected? Note that it works fine in C#
Return Array.TrueForAll(chequeColl, Function(x) x.Number <> "N") 'No intellisense Number does not appear
Return Array.TrueForAll(chequeColl, Function(x As MyClass) x.Number <> "N") 'Now casted intellisense appears

View 2 RepliesCurrently, I have code similar to this:
xxx, _
If(dr.Table.Columns.Contains("EnterpriseID"), dr.Field(Of Integer)("EnterpriseID"), -1), _

I would like to create a Lamdba expression something like the following (this doesn't work):
Dim xCol As Func(Of DataRow, String, Type, Object, Object) = _
Function(dr, x, t, dflt) _
If(dr.Table.Columns.Contains(x), dr.field(Of t)(x), dflt)
So that I can say something like:
xxx, _
xCol(dr, "EnterpriseID", GetType(System.Integer), -1), _
xxx
I know in VB Lambda expressions must return a value and can only have one statement. But in my case I just need to execute a Sub that does not return a value. Is there a way to trick it by somehow returning a dummy value yet still call my Sub? If possible what would the syntax be like?

I am having a generic ListOf-collection holding the self-created User-object, I can filter for users by using lambda-expression like this:
Dim reviewers As List(Of User) = users.Where(Function(u) u.DvRoleID = 2).ToList
Instead of using the lambda expression I can also write the function and call it as argument like this:
Public Function GetReviewer1(ByVal u As User) As Boolean
If u.DvRoleID = 2 Then
Return True
[Code] .....
Now the question: why can't I create a delegate having the same signature as the GetReviewer1 function and use the delegate as argument inside the where-clause like this:
Delegate Function Criteria(ByVal u As User) As Boolean
Public Function GetReviewer1(ByVal u As User) As Boolean
If u.DvRoleID = 2 Then
[Code] .....
The compiler does not accept the crit delegate as argument.
I am trying to see if the controller class name is the name of the controller name passed in. I think my lambda expression is wrong and that is why it isn't working properly. I am passing in the correct controller names, but the export variable is always null.

controllerName As String)

In MSDN documentation defination about lambda expression is "A lambda expression is a function or subroutine without a name that can be used wherever a delegate is valid ". Here validity of delegate is necessery only when we are passing lambda expression as an argument to a method.

The reason I want the lambda expression is because I want that function to be able to get all the way through LINQ-to-SQL to be converted to SQL. The reason I want the direct version is because I have other code that I want to validate individual serial numbers before submitting changes. And I fear that GetValidSerialNumbers.Contains(serialNumber) will execute a more-complex-than-necesssary query.
