Creating An Array With A Variable Value?

Mar 22, 2010

i want to declare an array with a name that is the value of a variable. I need to do this because i want to create arrays from a text file that i'm reading.Basically, if someone could make this work then i should be able to change it to fit my use.

Dim var1 As String = howdy

Dim var1() as Integer

In this case i'd like to be declaring an array with the name 'howdy' that stores integers. In reality i'm looping a bunch of read names and would like to create an array for each name i read- but i'm quite capable of sorting the rest.

Multidimensional Array - Creating A Variable For A Grid In .net?

Sep 6, 2011

I need to store elements in a multidimensional array. Specifically, I need to save "tiles" to a grid (e.g.Grass at x:2 y:5, Dirt at x:3 y:5, etc.). Using a multidimensional feels very hacked up and is very glitchy (having to resize my arrays and having to create new ones were they are non-existant). Is there some kind of element made for this? Something I can say obj.getPos(2,5) and get my Grass Element and use obj.setPos(DirtObj, 3, 5) to set it to my Dirt Element?

I'm just wondering if there is something easier to use than multidimensional arrays in vb.net, that is all.

Creating An Array From A CSV Text File And Selecting Certain Parts Of The Array?

Mar 20, 2011

I have a Comma Separated value file in .txt format... simply put, its a bunch of data delimited by commas and text qualifier is separated with ""For example:

"So and so","1234","Blah Blah", "Foo","Bar","","","",""
"foofoo","barbar","etc.."

Where ever there is a carriage return it signifies a new row and every comma separates a new column from another.My next step is to go into VB.net and create an array using these values and having the commas serve as the delimeter and somehow making the array into a table where the text files' format matches the array After that array has been created, I need to select only certain parts of that array and store the value into a variable for later use.... how to make the array and selecting the certain info out of it..

Creating Variable Names From Other Variables?

May 20, 2010

how do I DIM a variable's name using previously declared string varialbes? I have been using PERL for processing data stored in text files but I now have a business need to use VB2008. I would like to do something like this:

dim name1 as string = "ABCD"
dim name2 as string = "123"

'here is the part that I don't know how to do - create a 3rd variable name concatenated from name1 and name2:

dim string.concat({name1,name2}), or maybe use a counter in a line like 'dim namex as string' with x being a counter value.

Essentially I want to dim variables using text strings extracted from a file. In PERL I have declared literals and arrays, such as 'my @$name1', which creates an array named with the contents of $name1. In VB2008 I am not sure how to make this work with the DIM statement.

Using Variable In Array Variable

Feb 14, 2012

if i generate a label dynamically i can change the text as followed, variable is a string: Form.Controls(variable).text = "test" I now have a sub that will create some and will get some information out of arrays. I have a lot of them. I only want the function for tat specific array. I do not want a case or if. Thats why i was wondering if i can use a variable in the array variable. [Code] But instead of TestArray being hard-coded i want it to be replaced with Shelf. So whatever gets send into the sub will change the array that i'm using. Is that possible some how or is the way totally wrong?

Creating An Array Of Controls?

May 19, 2009

I need to be able to refer to a set of controls on a Windows form using an array, but I'm having a few difficulties.

The Windows form (WForm.vb) contains two textboxes (TextBox1 and TextBox2).

In Module1.vb I have created an array reference to the textboxes thus:

Public wf As New WForm
Public ReadOnly TB() As Control = {wf.TextBox1, wf.TextBox2}

Then, in WForm.vb I have tried to refer to the textboxes via the array:

eg.

TB(0).Text = "Change text to this"

I know that the array is referring to the textboxes, because when I hover the cursor over the line 'TB(0).Text = "Change text to this" ' in debug mode, I get the following:

(0)|{Text = "Change text to this"}
(1)|{Text = ""}

but for some reason, the text in TextBox1 on the form isn't actually being changed!
(There is obviously no problem with change the textbox's text at this point in the code, because I've tried substituting the array reference 'TB(0)' with a direct reference to the textbox 'TextBox1', and the problem disappears.

Set An Array Variable?

May 30, 2012

I'm writing reports in Report Designer (VS 2008), and I've reached a point where I have to circumvent the restrictions on using aggregates in groups. I believe this can be done by utilising custom code, which is written in Visual Basic as far as I know (not sure what version though).

I have a dynamic number of "Pools", which each contain "Models". Each Model row needs to set the Pool Multiplier to the maximum of the current multiplier and proposed multiplier. The Pool row (parent group row) then needs to get the Pool Multiplier.[code]...

Correct Way Of Creating An Associative Array?

Aug 18, 2011

I'm a PHP guy and in PHP I would do something like the following:$variable = array('0001'=>'value1', '0010'=>'value2');

I'm pretty new to VB.net so I'm wondering how to translate the above code to VB.net

I think I have to use a dictionary:

Dim variable As New Dictionary(Of String, String)
variable.Add("0001", "value1")
variable.Add("0010", "value2")

Is this the correct way of doing it or should I use something else for this?
