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

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.
[Code]...
I have the following object:
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)
The best result I could get was:
Lookup(of MasterCategory, Dictionary(of Date, Integer))
From:
countDictionary.ToLookup(Function(o) o.Key.MasterCategory, Function(o) o.Value)
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

If I want to get the length of Dictionary collection.Would this line of code be correct?
dim x as integer = Len(myDictionary)
I am supporting one old project built on VB6.0.Can anyone please tell me how to store and retrieve collection from Dictionary.I searched over net but got nothing satisfactory.I really got strucked because of this.Please provide Any Example or Any Link,so that i can do self study.
View 1 RepliesI'd like to store a set of key/value pairs in the application settings of my ASP.NET web app, but I'm not finding a straightforward way to do that. For example, these two questions tell me that StringDictionary etc. won't serialize to XML and suggest that I'll have to roll my own implementation. But it seems like this should be easier to do; after all, web.config is XML and < applicationSettings> is essentially a collection of key/value pairs, so it feels like I'm missing something obvious. Given my specific case below, do I really have to roll my own serialization, or is there an easier workaround?
The web app in question is a basic contact form that sends email to different recipients based on the value of a parameter; e.g. [URL]...The goal is to be able add or remove recipients (or change their addresses) by editing the web.config file so that I don't have to recompile and can easily maintain different configurations in test and production environments. For example:
// I can use something like this for the sender address SmtpMsg.From = New MailAddress(My.Settings.EmailSender)
// And then just edit this part of web.config to use different addresses in different environments.
<setting name="EmailSender" serializeAs="String"> <value>webcontact@exampledomain.com</value>

I need to Store Objects with Key like:
Key: <Fontname & FontSize> / Object: <Font Object>
Example content:
ArialRegular8 | <Corresponding Font Object>
ImpactItalic10 | <Corresponding Font Object>
TimesRomanRegular12 | <Corresponding Font Object>
These font types come from an external library, the real type is DocumentFont, I prefer not to store just values and recreate the font object later, so I need to store the object, and i want to be able to call Contains() later without looping. like for example Dictionary (of T Key, T Value), is this the best option? Also, to be able to call Contains(), i will have to overload function Contains() using an Interface or this is already built-in in some Collections / Dictionaries when using a String as Key?

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.
Here's the simplified version of my code:

Just started VB programming this week and have found a wealth of information about what I'm trying to do. Problem is, some of it is more complete than others.Here's what I'm trying to do:In Form1 (my main form), I want to instantiate a class that contains a couple of properties (speed setpoint and position setpoint). When I click a button, I want to pass this data to Form2 and populate two textboxes on Form2 with the properties of this object. I want to manipulate the property values on Form2 and click an OK button which closes the dialog and returns the manipulated data, updating the property values of the object. Here's the algorithm I'm following:1) On Form1, instantiate the class2) On Form1's "Pass Data" button click event handler, instantiate a Form2 object and invoke the ShowDialog method, passing the object as a parameter.
3) On Form2, overload the ShowDialog method to accept the object as a parameter and modify the method so that it returns the manipulated class data.4) On Form2, in the ShowDialog method, populate the textboxes with the class data that was passed in.Here's where I get stuck. If I press the OK button on Form2 (DialogResult.OK), it returns me to Form1, but what hook do I have in Form1 to receive the manipulated class data that the ShowDialog method is returning?Here's an example of what I'm thinking about:
Code:
Public Class Form1
Dim clsController1 As New MotionController

Is it possible to change the key of a dictionary?
View 6 RepliesI have a dictionary in the form of: { "honda" : 4, "toyota": 7, "ford" : 3, "chevy": 10 }

View 3 RepliesI have a dictionary of key=string and value=datatable. I use a key to retrieve a datatable and assign that datatable to a new variable. Then I make some updates to the variable. However, I find that the dictionary itself is being updated even though I'm only updating the variable. This causes significant issues when I try to reference the dictionary later. How can I set up my dictionary so that it won't update when I use a value?
dim dt1 as datatable
dt1=dictionary(key)
For row=0 to dt1.rows.count
dt1.Rows(row)(4)=dt1.rows(row)(4)/2
Next row
'at this point, when I look up dictionary(key), the value I get shows all of the original values divided by 2.

[code] For example, if the word was "cat" it would return true. If the word was "jlakfh", then it word return false. To do this i need some kind of dictionary array or something. How do I do this? If it helps, I only needs words with less than 7 letters in them, and more than 2 letters in them. Also, I don't need the definitions of the words. I only need the words themselves in the arary. Do I need to manually input all the words into an array or is there already a dictionary control or something that I could use?

The collectionSub needs to be cleared, it's in a loop for filling.

I have a series of "keys" and associated "descriptors". I have them set up in a VB dictionary to use the keys to select the descriptor for output (the descriptor is the English translation of the hexadecimal key; both are dictionaried as strings).I have looked at the help files and all they do is "for each" statements to retrieve the entire key list or the entire descriptor list. What I need to be able to do is take a key, determined early in the program, and use the dictionary to look up what the English equivalent is. I don't need to retrieve ALL the keys or ALL the descriptors.VB6 made this easy.I'm having trouble doing the same thing in VB 2008.I can provide a sample of the code I have been working with after I get access to that computer.
