Enum Or Array - Store The Values
Jul 5, 2009I have the following code which obtains the compass direction from a degree value. I'm new to VB.Net and was wondering what is the best way to store the values, in an Enum or an Array?

I am trying to create a "Generate Number" application. It needs to generate numbers ( 1 - 100 ) and add them to the array. I have the numbers generated already and outputed into a list box. but I am not sure on how to add them to the array.
I have generated the numbers using for...next and do while loops. But I haven't been able to get the right syntax to be able to add the numbers into the array. [code]/...
I'm trying to convert old code to VB in VS2005. The code I'm working on is used to store values in a string, which will then be handed to a proprietary scramble function. This function is a given in this case. I've already switched from a string to an array of bytes in my .NET code.
The old code (VBA) was using a string value to store the data, example function for Double value:
Private Function DoubleToStr(ByVal value As Double) As String
Dim Bytes(7) As Byte ' 0-7 Double is 8 bytes
Dim n As Long
CopyMemory(Bytes(0), value, 8)
DoubleToStr = ""
For n = 0 To UBound(Bytes)
DoubleToStr = DoubleToStr & Chr(Bytes(n))
Next n
End Function
The code basically copies the memory contents (using API call CopyMemory) of the memory (held by the double variable) to the memory held by a byte array. It then reads the byte array and converts it into a string. Workarounds could be to convert a bool or long to a string, though that would be expensive in terms of memory/storage eg. 1234564787 would be 10 bytes in a string where as a long is only 4 bytes (factor 2.5 increase).
How to retain the original precision? Converting it to a string would result in endless numbers. Another problem (at least I think it could be) is that in VBA the variables are rather simple, but in .NET they are all objects, so how to retrieve the actual memory location of the value? let alone garbage collection moving stuff around. How to get those variables stored in my byte array?
I am attempting to teach myself visual basic and I cannot figure out how to send a calculated value (on a button click) into a one-dimension array and then recall the last five values in a message box when the user exits.

I have a code which retrieves values from database
[Code]....
i want to store all the values in a array for further processing.
I am a beginner at VB.net programming. this score calculator. The application is suppose to total up a sum of numbers added, show the count, and an average of the numbers inputted. I try using an array to store the inputted values. Now I'm have issues with my loop keeping track of the total. Also, how do I clear out the array to start over?
[Code]...
is that instead of receiving data from one row and assigning it to the same array Im receiving data from multiple rows, but the information is the same because its from the same one column from the database. The error I keep getting is 'index out of bounds of array'
here is the code
What it does is it loops through once and retrieves the first value from the db then it throw the exception when it goes to retrieve the second value.
Dim qBkNum As String = "SELECT BookingNum FROM Bookings WHERE BookingID = '1'"
Dim bkNum(5) As String
Try

In my example, i use a class array to which I assign values looping through textboxes in my form. Using the button Store (btnStore) the values are perfectly assigned to the array (i use an msgbox to check).The problem is that when i created another button (btnTest) to test if these values can be read outside the btnstore code, I get an error (NullReferenceException unhandled) which informs me to use the new keyword (cannot be used with arrays).I suppose the same applies when trying to access the array from another form. The question is how can i assign the values to the array "forever" and be accessed from "everywhere" in my program ?(tried public, friend, redim preserve the array with no luck).

How do you get the variable values to output like this?
<input type="text" value="Chang Beverages $19.00" id="Chang" /><br />
<input type="text" value="Ipoh Coffee Beverages $46.00" id="Ipoh Coffee" /><br />
<input type="text" value="Gula Malacca Condiments $19.45" id="Gula Malacca" /><br />
I have a URL lets say . some time i need to send HTTP and some time i need to send it to HTTPS for that i created a enum:
Private _protocol As Protocol
Enum Protocol
HTTP
HTTPS

Now when i get value back from protocoltype it returns me integer value as enum do so tell me how to get string from enum or other substitute.
Dim targetUri As String = setting.protocolType & "://www.mysite.com"
In this post Jon Skeet pointed out that the following code should be changed to conform with the .NET naming conventions. Doing that would also decrease the amount of noise in the code.

I must admit, I was pretty much like a sheep and was following what others have done before me. I thought the prefix did not look right and then to have it twice did not make sense either. After looking at a couple of .NET Framework examples, it looks like this would be closer to the standard.

I don't know how to convert the following line from VB to C#:
Dim values As New List(Of T)(System.Enum.GetValues(GetType(T)))
My version doesn't work:
List<T> values = new List<T>(System.Enum.GetValues(typeof(T)));
The best overloaded method match for 'System.Collections.Generic.List.List(System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable)'
has some invalid arguments
The constructor-parameter doesn't take it that way - what cast (or else) am I missing?
For clarification: It is wrapped up within the following generic method
public static void BindToEnum<T>()
{
List<T> values = new List<T>(System.Enum.GetValues(typeof(T)));
//...
}
In VS2008, you could write, for instance,
dim enumValue as MyEnum
enumValue =
And then as soon as you typed the =, you'd get a list of possible values of MyEnum. With VS2010, you have to type
dim enumValue as MyEnum
enumValue = MyEnum.
Before getting the list on typing the final. This makes for a lot more typing and seems to be a retrograde step ... is there an option I'm missing? (I have 'Auto List members checked in the Text Editor options under 'Basic').

I am trying to create the following program Store in a 1d array a set of 5 place names and in a 2d array the distances between the places. Ensure that the order of the places is the same in both arrays. When the names are places are input the distance between them is displayed. If they are not both in the table a suitable message is displayed
Dim town(1 To 5) As String
Dim Dist(1 To 5, 1 To 5) As Integer
Dim First As Integer

I think the best way forward is pass a parameter to the function findnumber.

View 4 RepliesWhich is better, using a nullable enum or adding the value None=0 to your enum list?Using nullables requires more code, but I kind of like it since it forces me to think about the possibility. Otherwise I'm liable to forget about the None enum and fail to account for it being a special case.
