I'm trying to convert an object, that is a list of something, to that list, but I'm having problems figuring out exactly how to do that. I have created the following code:

I am currently writing unit tests for an application near completion (before management looks at it and turns it inside out). I am testing the business layer and a method is set to return a datatable of all "GroupID"s, which are simply an integer to represent the group that a user belongs to.
I'm assuming the best way to assert on this unit test would be to assert that the correct groupIDs are being returned from a controlled test database. However, I'm not sure how to assert on a datatable. Is the only (and best) possible way to accomplish this to simply loop through the datatable until it's empty and add each value to an array of integers? How would one go about asserting on this test?
After reading all the examples for list of T exists and Find and find first, none show how to handle multi-property objects. Below is bare bones example maybe someone could flesh out to show how this should be done.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim DatePriceList As New List(Of DateAndPrice)
DatePriceList.Add(New DateAndPrice(Date.Parse("1/1/2000"), 10.12))
DatePriceList.Add(New DateAndPrice(Date.Parse("1/2/2000"), 11.12))

Limited to using v2.0 of .Net framework (we use VB.net) due to environmental constraints on our servers.I've got an ASP.net webpage which pulls data from a webservice that performs checks on user accounts in active directory. Operators can check multiple accounts at one time using the web interface. The webservice returns a list(of AccountCheck) objects which themselves contain single properties like username, email address, and List(of AccountError) objects which contain multiple properties.[code]What I want to do is using some kind of repeater, create multiple panels or divs which contain labels showing the username, email etc, and a gridview which has the accounterror list bound to it to show all the errors. The users could be checking 2, 5, 7 accounts at once, and is dynamic.

Public Class Cat
Public Property id As Guid
Public Property name As String
Public Property race As catRace

How can I quickly transform this List(Of Cat) into a List(Of Guid) using the id property?
I could do :
Dim newList As List(Of Guid)
For each item in catList
newList.Add(item.id)
Next
But I think there must be a way to do this faster (1 LOC). I just can't find how.
The following code snippet is taken from Julie Lerman's, "Programming Entity Framework" 2nd edition on page 765. The code is in C#, and I don't normally have a problem manually converting C# to VB, but I can't figure this one out.
_activities is a List(Of Activity). Using VB, how would you convert a List(Of Activity) to a List(Of T) as in this code sample? The compiler doesn't like anything that I've tried thus far.

{
string typeName = typeof(T).Name;

I have a COM object in C++ and VB6 and everything is compiled and packaged using Visual Studio 2003. The C++ generates the DLL, and VB6 the EXE, so from the legacy code I can call the EXE that calls the DLL and so on. I need to migrate these to Visual Studio 2008. However, I have some questions
1) I can compile the C++ and generate the DLL - ( I think is ok)2) VB.Net doesn't have the option to generate COM/ActviveX anymore as VB6, so no idea - I tried to generate windows exe and call the dll, but it doesn't work. I think because it has some COM calls.
So what is the best solution to get rid of COM/ActiveX and deliver something?
Compile in C++ and load adding references in VB.net? I tried this but the DLL doesn't load..

I need to be able to add elements to a copy of mylist.testlist without modifying the global mylist object.

We have an object with properties, and a a SQL database we're reading in, to create a list of objects, with columns corresponding to each property.if a column is missing from the database (e.g. caused by an outdated version of the database), we want to assign a default value to it.I've created a dictionary, mapping the column name to its default value (both strings).However, I was wondering if it was possibly to somehow convert the column name (string) to an object property (e.g. the string "name" to AnObject.name?), as the property and column name are generally the same.I tried to use GetType().GetPropert("column name"), but I can't seem to do assignments through that)Alternately, is it possible to somehow create a dictionary, storing the object property as the key (and the column name and default value in a struct), and then grabbing it after.?
View 1 RepliesI am having a problem when setting VB.NET list object to another.I create an instance on ReadLocations and than create an object of ReadLocation where then I loop through ReadLocations and set ReadLocation1 equal to rl. What happens is that if I then go and change ReadLocation1 to something else (assdfhsd) it will also change the ReadLocations index. I am really confused why it would be doing that unless it is "=" sign means referencing instead of actually setting the value.

So, I'm creating an array of labels. I have labels set up as:
labal1
label2
label3
etc...
I've declared the array as such:
Dim labelArray(5) As Label
Now, instead of assigning the labels one by one to the array (labelArray(0) = label1, labelArray(1) = label2, etc...), I was hoping to use a loop (there will be more than 5 labels). I have something like this, which obviously doesn't quite work:
For i = 0 To labelArray(i) = "label" & i Next
Is there a function that I can use to convert the labelName string to an object, or have vb.net see that as an object instead of a string?

I have a function that works great in C# that I'm converting to VB.Net. I'm having an issue converting the result set to a generic list in VB.net.
The code:
Public Function GetCategories() As List(Of Category)
Dim xmlDoc As XDocument = XDocument.Load("http://my_xml_api_url.com")
Dim categories = (From category In xmlDoc.Descendants("Table") _
Select New Category()).ToList(Of Category)()
Return categories
End Function
The error occurs when convertng the result via .ToList(Of Category)() The error:
Public Function ToList() As System.Collections.Generic.List(Of TSource)' defined in 'System.Linq.Enumerable' is not generic (or has no free type parameters) and so cannot have type arguments.
Category is a simple object I've created, stored in the App_Code directory.
I have the necessary "Imports System.Collections.Generic" reference in the file so I don't see why I can't convert the result set to a generic list.
