I needed to create an app using arrays. The goal of the app was to input a certain amount of points and display their level of contribution and any benefits they receive (for example: enter 500 points -> display "Gold level" and "Fieldhouse privileges, Parking at game, Football tickets"). I was supposed to use a loop and intLevel array to find the donor level that corresponds to the input amount, display the donor level using the strLevel array and using the strBen array display the benefits that apply to this donor.
What I was given:
Dim intLevel() As Integer = {50, 100, 200, 500, 1000}
Dim strLevel() As String = {"Contributor", "Laker Club", "Bronze", "Silver", "Gold"}
[Code]....
My app works, but my prof's comments on it were to get rid of the "+ 1" on the first "Do Until" loop, cross off the second Do Until loop and he just wrote "not quite" next to the bottom two lines.
So basically, I'm wondering how I would write code to search for the amount of points (without having to add the "2000" so it doesn't blow up on me) and matching it with strBen. To be honest, I don't understand why I am not getting points for this.
Lets say I want to create an array with 20 elements all set to a default value (let's say, 0)
But later, during runtime, I might want to resize the array. I might make it larger, to support 30 elements. The 10 new elements will have the default value of 0.
Or I might want to make my array smaller, to just 5. So I delete the complete the existence of the last 15 elements of the array.
I am reading data from an excel spreadsheet and i want to create several arrays to save the data in (according to how many rows of data i have which is an unknow untill i actually read the sheet).
I want to create a relational database in VB2010 and I am attempting to accomplish this goal by creating a structure of records to be stored in a Random Access File.For each record, I want to organize each fixed-length record so that 4-integer sets of data are stored into a a multi-dimensional array.But when I try to write the code below at the module level, I get an error.
Structure PictureDat 'len= needed for Open of Random Access File [code].....
Since I want to read/write/save the data in this structure to a Random Access File with a fixed record length size, I need to exactly specify the size of the record...which is, of course, determined by the array's dimensions.If I could accomplish this strategy, then I could search this random access file for a match of search criteria consisting of 4-integers with any of the 4-integer sets of data in each record and thus find, edit, delete and search records...therby retrieve information from my database.
Is my program design inefficient? Is there a better way to handle perhaps hundreds of thousands of records? The IDE keeps telling me that I am using a deprecated method of file I/O when I use FileOpen(), FileGet(),FilePut() and should be using MyFile.I am entirely comfortable with my time-tested method of data storage that ensures the security of disk storage while exposing only one record at a time to the PC's volatile RAM, thereby not allowing all my data exposed to possible memory corruption on a PC left on for hours, which would be the case if I loaded the whole file as a monster- sized string or stream. Also, these older file access methods allows my code to run on PC's with modest amounts of memory.
being used to PHP and the easiness of creating arrays with no specific size... I'm hating arrays in VB.
Is there a way I can create an array who's size I won't know?
I'm pulling information out of an XML file and need the information available in another sub - so I'm stashing it in a public array I create at the beginning of the form.
Basically the assignment says:Create an array that accepts user input. When the user inputs -1, stop the entering process.Check user input to circumvent bad numbers (numbers less than -1)Make two copies of the array (making sure the two new arrays are only as big as the amount of numbers the user input, might need a counter)Sort the first copy using any algorithmSort the second copy using standard array.sort method.Display all three arrays in a form.I have this so far, and I'm stumped as to where to go next.

I have the followig problem; i want to make a class with a private field as a 2-dimensional array, where it's dimension is set in the constructor of the class.Contained data does not matter at this moment.I've looked a bit around but couldn't find a direct solution to my problem, is this possible in VB.NET? [code]
In VB6 I load a recordset containg all of the records (6 fields per record)in a table into an XArray and then manipulate the records in the array and then write them back to the original table. The array issorted by the first field (1 to maybe 8000 or more) I need to find records in the array by an ID field and then move them (because of some external criteria that happens many times) from say number 400 to number 375. Then all of the other records between 375 and 399 were renumbered up 1 to fill the gaps left by the move.
The XArray worked well as it could find and also move to a next record easily to facilitate the revisions to each record quickly. Everything is done in VB6 in code and nothing visual needs to be shown to the user until say 2000 of these external changes are complete. What is the best, most efficient way to do this in the .Net framework in VB2010. Datasets, Dataviews. tableadapters, arrays. enums ?
My assignment is to have a user enter in big integers using what i think is two parallel arrays. I got this far but now im stuck. I think i need to actually convert the text box input into an array but i do not know how to do that. I am all over the place in this project.

I have a VB.net console app and I am opening a function in a dll written in fortran. I am passing 3 arrays through the function by reference. When they come back out the otherside they ahve all tunred to arrays of only one element And that element is 0.I read on the internet somewhere that when doing this kind of thing it is a good idea to only pass the first element of the array into the function.I tried changing my function declaration to accepting single elements rather than single dimensional arrays, and now the arrays are the same length before and after the function call, but they don't seem to be changing at all, so i'm not sure that this is working
the statement Dim state(49) As String and maintain a list of certain states. The list of states should always be in alphabetical order and occupy consecutive elements of the array. The buttons in the program should give the user the following options: (a) Take the state specified by the user in a text box and insert it into its proper position in the array. If the state is already in the array, so report. (b) Take the state specified by the user in a text box and delete it from the array. If the state is not in the array, so report. (c) Display the states in the array. "

at I do not know the number of or the names of the folders, they can be different in different cases, I only have the root path.how I can display folder contents in VB.net and the code worked but couldn't figure out how to create the arrays and display only folders within folders starting with "ad_".
System.IO.DirectoryInfo and System.IO.FileInfo to be used for getting the folders.A literal control can be used to create javascript arrays in ASP.NET. These js arrays can then be used on the client side.
I was wondering if anyone knows a built in method ( LINQ say or a LAMBDA expression or other way ) that you can compare2 arrays - collections that would be valid for an equivalent 3rd array - collection which is a combination of the 1st two.
Below you will find a code sample that I have dummied up to try and demonstrate the issue I am having. However, this is just a dummied up piece of code. The actual program has noting to do with STUDENTS or TEACHERS. Basically, the problem I'm having is trying to have a CLASS within another CLASS each of which contain ARRAYS that need to be dynamic in size. The sample has a CLASS called STUDENTS that can have in theory many students, the number of which are unknown to the CLASS. I need to be able to add STUDENTS to the ARRAY programmatically.
The CLASSROOM Class should also be an Array since each TEACHER will have MANY Students. There will be only 1 Teacher for a given classroom but the SCHOOL will have MANY CLASSROOMS. Again, I need to programmatically add Teachers and Students without having predefined Array sizes. The code I have listed below will NOT work but it demonstrates what I am trying to achieve. I want to be able to reference the CLASS by using something like this ...
I feel like I should be able to use ARRAYLIST in both classes but haven't been able to get it to work. I've tried DIM'ing as ARRAY and can't get that to work either.If I can get ARRAYLIST to work then I shouldn't need to worry about expanding the array via UBOUND (if it's even possible).The REAL question is "How do I have a CLASS within a CLASS, each of which has ARRAYS that need to be dynamic in nature so they can be expanded as needed? The size of the array cannot be determined ahead of time".
REMEMBER . . . the actual program has nothing to do with Students and Teachers. This was just my way of demonstrating the issue using an analogy that I thought everyone could understand. The actual Class is much more involved.I have purposely hardcoded some values just to make the sample easier to work with. This is NOT how I normally program but is just here to hopefully make things a little more clear.
Here is the sample code . . . '*********************************************************************************** '*********************************************************************************** '***********************************************************************************

Sorry, I'm sure this is something that has been covered many times, but I can't find quite what I am after.
I have a single row data table which contains various settings which are used within my web system. I have been toying with turning this into an XML document instead of the single row datatable, would that make more sense?Anyway, so, given that this is one record, there is a field called "locations," this field contains data as follows:
The ipAddress is just the first 5 digits of the IP and allows me to ensure that logins to certain elements (admin section managed by staff) can only be accepted when connected from a company computer (ie using our ISP) - this is a largely unnecessary feature, but stops kids I employ logging in at home and stuff!
So, as the user logs in, I can check if the IP is valid by a simple SQL query.
SELECT ips FROM settings WHERE loginLocations LIKE '%" & Left(ipAddress, 5) & " %'
What I need to be able to do now, is get the name of the users location from the dataField array.
I've come up with a few long winded looping procedures, but is there a simple way to analyse
as a string and simply get the locationName where LoginIp = IpAddressX or am I going about this in a totally ridiculous way and should turn it into an xml file? (which will then create a whole load of other questions for you about parsing XML!!)
Arrays in Visual Basic When you use arrays, you can refer to multiple values by the same name, using a number called an index or subscript to distinguish them from one another. Arrays can shorten and simplify your code, allowing you to create loops that deal efficiently with any number of elements.How to Use Arrays, Why We need it to use.
I'm working with VB.Net, and have two one-dimensional Arrays. Is there an Inbuilt function for finding the elements that are common to both of them? Or do I have to write one for myself?
I'm having problems with 2 2-dimensional arrays. Whenever I change the value in a cell in one of them, the value of cell with the same indices changes in the other one.[code]
I need to loop through 2 different arrays.(Visual Basic)If I do a loop within a loop, will I get the results I need?For each order in ShippedOrders and For each order in UnshippedOrders........
I am calling external DLL (written in Fortran) function that has a multidimensional array argument. In VB6 the array is column major (the same as Fortran). However, I recently noticed that in VB.Net the array passed to the DLL seems to be in row major.
I need to know if there is any simple way to sort an array in visual Basic.net. I have been trying for some time without any real reliable results or wierd results. Here is the code this is the sort routine which transfers a csv text file read earlier into an array.
Private Sub btnSort_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSort.Click Dim i As Integer = 2 'inner loop Dim j As Integer 'outer loop Dim tempstore As String = String.Empty ProgressSort.Minimum = 0
[Code]...
The data seems to be read into the array but the sorting takes a very long time and I am not sure if it is working or not. I have read from other forums that it is easier to sort the array read from csv before splitting it. This record I am trying to sort is 250 records long. I have no idea how long that should take. Not even sure if the algorithm I chose is correct.
Let me provide a little detail to explain what I'm trying to accomplish before I get into the nuts and bolts of the question. I've got two data sources - one is a SQL Server containing part numbers, descriptions, etc. The other is a CAD system that does not have a database in a traditional sense. What I'm trying to do is read out the bill of materials from the SQL Server and compare it to the CAD assembly drawing to ensure that the CAD system contains the same information as the SQL Server.
Getting the data from the SQL Server is fairly straight forward. I query the database and populate a datagrid. Done. Quick. Easy.Getting the data from the CAD system is a little more involved. I have to load the assembly drawing to get a listing of all the component parts and then load those individual drawings to pull the "Part Number" property from the drawing. This is a somewhat time consuming and slow process (unfortunately) since each of the files must actually be accessed. I load those properties into an array (I guess a list might be more efficient).
So now I have a datagrid and array with part numbers. I need to compare them and colorize the grid accordingly. The grid should remain transparent if the part exists in both, color the row yellow if it only exists in the grid, and add a row colored red if only in the array.
As best I can tell, this means looping through the array on each line of the grid. The thought process is this:Default the grid to yellow rows.Loop through the grid and loop through the array to compare. If a match is found, make the row transparent and delete the element from the array.After step 2 is completed, the array should only contain elements that are not found in the grid. Resize the array to remove the empty elements.Add the elements of the array to the grid and color those new rows red.The problems with this logic is that it seems expensive from a performance standpoint. Surely there is a better method? Also, if I modify the grid in some manner (like a resort) I have to go through the process again.
I'm trying to translate some code from VB.Net to C#, but I've run into an issue.The Vb.Net line of code I want to translate is:[code]However, this is giving me a nasty 'Object reference is not set to an instance of an object' error.
This section of code is part of a much larger program.However, I can't seem to find the problem with this error.Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.[code]I'm using this array inside of a class form to maintain the memory of a computer player in a rock, paper, scissors game. There are two computer players involved; thus, the need for a unique instance of each array for each player.I'm struggling with this program and all of my errors are gone until I try to run the main form.I can link more code if needed.
