I'd like to create a Dictionary that is indexed by Strings: Dictionary(of String, ...). I'd like the Type after the comma to be an Array of MyObject's. If all I do is the following:
Dim D as new Dictionary(of String, Array)
I feel like I'm missing out on some performance very time I access a member:
Dim Object1 as MyObject = MyDictionary("Key1")(4)
Doesn't it have to perform some type of lookup to figure out what type of object the array is holding every time I access it in this manner?
I am trying to populate a dictionary with objects created from data in a recordset, but am having difficulty with VB's object referencing. I am very new to VB. Pseudo code of what I am trying to do:
dim dict as Dictionary rs = getRecordSet while rs.moveNext set myObj = new MyClass myObj.properties = rs.relevantFields dict.add myObj.getUniqueKey, myObj wend
However, all 'objects' in the dictionary are actually references to the most recently created (and thus last) object in the dictionary. I know why what I am doing above is not working, but I don't know the correct way to do it so that each element in the dictionary is it's own object.
I don't know if this is doable, maybe with Linq, but I have a List(Of MyType):
Public Class MyType Property key As Char Property description As String End Class
And I want to create a Dictionary(Of Char, MyType) using the key field as the dictionary keys and the values in the List as the dictionary values, with something like:
New Dictionary(Of Char, MyType)(??)
Even if this is doable, internally it will loop through all the List items, I guess?
I need some help with creating string sin a code which will increase in value if the code requires ie. if the code returns a result then there needs to be a string called Emails1 or something similar to be created and store a string. If later in the code (using a for/next loop) another result is returned then Emails2 needs to be created and a different string saved to that. Here is the beta code I can't get to work: [code] I don't understand how I can get this to work like the other variable() works.
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.
Say I have a List(Of Tag) with Tag being an object. One member of Tag, Tag.Description, is a string, and I want to make a comma-separated concatenation of the Description members.Is there an easier way to do this than to read the Description members into a List(Of String) and then use the Join function?
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
Function GetWeldAuditInfo(ByVal ResourceId As String, ByVal VendorId
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)
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.
I use VS2005 and I have just started working with the dictionary in particular the Dictionary.ContainsKey method. At the bottom of the page in the msdn library it says the following in the community content How to make sure that Contains functions properly.
I have a listbox and I want to loop through each of the items to see if the string im looking for is inside. I know I could do .contains but that wouldnt look at substrings. The code im using looks like this:
While tempInt > Listbox.items.count then if searchString.contains(listbox(tempInt)) then end if tempInt+=1 end while
Everything in the loop is fine but VB gives an error on the listbox(tempInt) part. The error is "class windows.forms.listbox cannot be indexed because it has no default value". get around the default value crap? I tried putting in a blank string but no change.
I am working on a UDP Client/Server, and currently i have them sending back and forth strings, which i convert to bytes, and then open the bytes to read. I want to now send an Object instead of those strings, which includes multiple unsigned integers and strings.
Public Sub LoadFromFile() Dim sr As New StreamReader("CoverageArea.dat") Dim strAreaLine As String[code].....
I have a question about that strAreaInfo()...I left the () with no number in it so that it wouldn't have a set # of values, and then I tried to give it 3 values, but I get the error in the title. Am I doing something wrong when I declare it?
I'm working on a small game that is based on a map of grid squares.I have a class (clsGrid) that stores a few properties for each grid square.The grid square objects are organized into a list(of clsGrid).A loop and stream reader are successfully reading properties from a text file, putting the properties into grid objects, and adding the grid objects to a my list of grids. When retrieving a grid from the list of grids, I'm getting unusual results. Regardless of the index I give the list, I always seem to get the last indexed grid in the list.The debugger seems to suggest that the right numbers are being read into the stream reader and they are being added to gridHolder. However, the message box at the end will always show me the LAST grid.id, regardless of the index I give it.
'A subroutine that generates a map (list of grids) Sub GenerateMap() Dim reader As StreamReader = File.OpenText("map1.txt")[code]....
I have a form with a lot of PictureBoxes. I created an array of these by name, but when I index the array I cant assign an image to the indexed item. In fact all the indexes appear to be nothing. Is there a way to create an array of controls and access them from the array?
Say I wanna bind to dictionary that TKey is string with XAML:<Label DataContext="{MyDictionary}" Content="{Binding Item("OK")}" />Doesn't work.How should I do it?
I am new to classes, and I am new to Visual Basic in general, but I am working on a multi class program. The code seems to be correct, but I am trying on instantiate a class oject with the code:
I would like to create a list of integers. The list will be items that I need to index by a key (string) or an index, which I set. For example I have items 1, 2, and 5. I would like to call Array(5) = 1. Where the the 5 is indexing a particular item 5, not the 5th item in the array. Using Array("5") = 1 could work as well. I tried using a List, but the only index is the ordered element of the list. I tried a Collection, but I kept getting errors that the items of the Collection are read only. How can I do this?
To be more specific, I have a simple game application which has a Player class. Each Player is trying to collect hits of say 3 fields {1,2,5}. I need to store how many times a player hits each of the 3 fields. So, I would like to read and write using logic like player(1).field(5) = 5. I want to add an object to the Player class which stores the number of times each of the 3 fields has been hit.
I've wondered this for a while, when I hover over an object's properties when the program is paused (from a breakpoint) I can see the values of each property but when it comes to a collection it wont list the objects in the collection unless I specify an index, how do I specify an index?Basically I have a form with a ToolStrip that has 12 items in it, I would like to see what the 12th item is but can't because it's an indexed property.
Can I have multiple 8 bpp Indexed Color Palettes and change them on the fly? And how would I refresh the image to the new colors? What I have is 8bppIndexed image, 256 colors.
I am getting a strange error when I try to build my solution. The error occurs when I am calling the oGetHeaderValue function and passing the parameters.
Dim oGetHeaderValue As New clsGetHeaderValue Dim returnString As String returnString = oGetHeaderValue(strInvoiceNumber, strOrderNumber)
The error message is: Class 'clsGetHeaderValue' cannot be indexed because it has no default property.
VB code: Public Class InputBox Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim a, b, S, p a = InputBox("Enter length") b = InputBox("Enter width") S = a * b p = a + a + b + b End Sub End Class
In InputBox lines i get this error: Class 'LearningVB.InputBox' cannot be indexed because it has no default property.
[code]This is my Code the error is Class 'System.data.datatable' cannot be indexed because it has no default property.. When i try this code in oledb it works but here it wont..
When writing to an Access file with one of the fields indexed (NO dupes allowed), I am getting the following message in the Immediate Window "A first chance exception of type 'System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException' occurred in System.Data.dll", when I enter a dupe.
I have put in a TRY, CATCH to catch the error and display a msgbox with the error. Is this message in the IMMEDIATE WINDOW just a warning message (generated by access), or is there something wrong with my actual program? My program does not actually crash, it seems to be working great.
