Whats the best way to convert a list(of string) to a string with the values seperated by ,
View 3 RepliesI want the Function to accept List(Of String), Array & String and similarly return List(Of String), Array & String respectively. The Function simply adds a string (month) to the input collection. I just want to use it for string, array and list with needing to think of conversions.

To be able to sort a dictionary by value I'm using this code:
Dim idCurrentJobs As IDictionary(Of String, Int32) = New Dictionary(Of String, Int32)
'The string in the dictionary represents a jobname and the integer is a counter for how many jobs im currently are running in the application'
idCurrentJobs.Add("JobName1", 2)

I'm trying to solve a problem regarding types of list. First of all I have a stored procedure in my DB which does a select of a single column and I try to proceed it in my app in VB. By making a method function I declared a DataTable that loads through the SqlCommand(with the CloseConnection behavior). After that I publicly declared a List(Of String) which needs to be populated with the rows/items from the stored procedure that is on the way. Below is my snippet of the code:
Dim dt As New DataTable()
Try
If conn.State = ConnectionState.Open Then
[Code]....
It's LPrefix = collection.Cast(Of String)() where I get an exception error telling me that I can't really convert it. The old fashion way is to iterate with for/for each loop but that's not what I want for best use of performance especially if the list will have thousands of rows from a single column. So basically, I want to insert those items from that DataTable to the List(Of String) without For/For Each loop.

How can I convert a csv string into a list in vb.net?
I have the following code:
[code]...
The intention is to convert an IList of custom objects to a string equivalent comprising each element in the Ilist. Unfortunately I can't seem to find a way to get the underlying data of the custom object, and of course as in the above example, using object simply gives me a string of types definitions, rather than access to the underlying data.
Normally, I'd choose List<String> [or, in VB, List(Of String)] over StringCollection whenever possible: see also Best string container.
However, as it seems, generics — and hence, List<String> — are apparently not supported in VS 2008's settings designer. Therefore, if I want to use a list of strings in my user settings, I have to resort to using a StringCollection there.
Now as I don't want to see StringCollection throughout my code, I need to convert it to List<String>. How do I do this efficiently? Or, even better, am I mistaken and there is a way to use List<String> in settings designer?
I am trying to Add the name of every folder in a directory to a combobox as a string to use in other code. Then I would like to truncate the last 3 characters off of the folder names.Example:
My main directory is C:Main
My sub folders are C:MainsubOne_bp
C:MainsubTwo_bp
C:MainsubThree_bp
I want a combo box with the following added durring run time.
subOne
subTwo
subThree
The following code will get me the folder names in the combo box, BUT it will not truncate the _bp off of the end and they are added as IO.DirectoryInfo that cannot be used as a string in other tasks.
Dim dir As String = "C:Main"
If (System.IO.Directory.Exists(dir)) Then
Dim di_dir As New IO.DirectoryInfo(dir)

I am looking for a way to convert my List(Of string) into an Object in vb. So in the end it would be the same as declaring Dim cArray() As Object = new Object. Can anyone point me to how i can achieve this? I cannot use the LINQ .ToArray as that creates a string array and this is not acceptable for my work. I need to pass this object into another one that has the parameter (aArray as Object).
View 4 RepliesI want to convert a List (of Long) into a string array.
Reason: it's a list of database IDs and I want to make a comma delimited string to pass into a stored proc.I tried this:
Dim commaDelimitedList As String = String.Join(",", itemIDList.Cast(Of String)().ToArray)
but I'm clearly not using the Cast correctly since it throws an exception:
System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Int64' to type 'System.String'..
Is there a way to get Cast working for this, or am I stuck with ConvertAll and a delegate function?
I have a number of classes that all implement the same interface. e.g.

Is there a better way of doing this in VB.NET using .NET 2.0?
I have a text box with a list of entries for example:
Reference 1
Reference 2
Reference 3
[Code]....
I plan to read the string back into a the textbox later using the split() method and assign each to string to an array.
I'm using String.Join to attempt to turn an array list into a string that is comma separated, such as "1,2,3,4". I can't seem to get the syntax working.
Here's what I'm trying:

How can I go about doing this properly?
I'd like to convert a string which contains a decimal number into string that contains the binary value, the octal and the hexadecimal value of that decimal number.Afterwards I also like to convert a string containing a binary, octal and hexd. number into a decimal string.Basically I'm looking for the functions:
dec2bin
dec2oct
dec2hex
bin2dec
oct2dec
hex2dec
I'd not prefer to rewrite a function, I'm sure the framework must have these functions already.
Is there any way to convert null terminated string to normal string.I mean I can easily make a program to find the location of vbnull but there has to be a built in function for that.

View 1 RepliesI 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

I'm working on a mass text replacer program because I'm sick of all the 10-day trial ones out there that aren't very good.The entire program is basically finished (All easy stuff), but now I need to code the actual replace/delete stuff, which I'm stuck on because apparently the way I originally intended to do it is not possible.
The way it works is you load a text file (.txt, .cfg, .ini, .doc, etc.) which opens a StreamReader which writes all the data into a listbox. Then you pick whether you want to replace or delete a string. If you select replace, then you enter the string to search for and in another textbox you enter the string to replace it with.
The way I originally intended to do this was like this:
If o1.Text = "Replace" Then 'The option
Replace(txtfile, str1, a1) 'txtfile is the data, str1 is the string to find and a1 is the replacement
End If
The problem is, I believe this method requires txtfile, str1 and a1 to be strings, but they're all 1-dimensional string arrays, which cannot be converted to strings, or at least I don't know how to convert them.
A friend told me one way I could do this is to open both a StreamReader and StreamWriter and do the replace/delete line by line as they are entered into the memory and write them to a temporary file which is then copied over the original. I can do this kind of, but I still don't know the proper way of doing the actual replace code because the string to find and the string to replace with are still 1-dimensional string arrays rather than strings.
I have the following code...
Const ToAddress As String = username.Text & "url..."
which sets to ToAddress to be used in on my Net.Mail.MailMessage that is to be created with the following constructor
Dim mm As New Net.Mail.MailMessage(username.Text, ToAddress)
which takes in a string and a constant string. But I get an error here[url]...
I have a function that takes string array as input..I have a string to process from that function..

I have also tried :
func(str.ToArray) // Give error since it converts str to char array instead of String array.

I understood that if I specify the length of the string() the compiler will not need to guess the length and it will be more fast that way, is it correct?

Value of type 'System.Func(Of String, String)' cannot be converted to 'System.Converter(Of String, String)
Why? They are both effectively a function pointer (or delegate?) to a function that accept a string and return a string.
I have two List(Of String) both containing several hundred thousand results.

However the time it takes to do this comparison can be very long indeed - is there a better way of doing this type of comparison... All I am trying to do is add values from List2 in to List1 which are not already present in List1 - So in effect adding new Unique values found in List 2 in to List 1. I am only looking for performance improvements - nothing else.
