is there a way to filter out unique values in a dataview or an array? I currently filter a dataview as such: [code] So now I have a dataview filtering the table, but can I further filter this data to find the unique instances of an item in this table? I eventually have to pass a portion of this table to an array, so if there is a way to find unique values in an array, I can use that.

I am using XtraGrid in my application. Now, I want to display only Unique values for particular column when user will click filter button. I want to display this list check box items initially all checked. Also I want the information that what items user has selected/deselected from from checked list box.

View 19 RepliesI am using a DataGridView that has a filtered dataset and I like to validate a column in a new or changed row via a sub in the partial dataset class so that I can set the errorprovider to an error if the entered value isn't unique.I started out to set the field in SQL server with a unique key and then catch the sqlerror on the form. But data validation is best practice to do in the partial dataset class so I am trying to do it for this particular problem aswell. But after spending a lot of time I am stuck and wonder if it is even possible to do this particular validation in the partial class?

View 2 RepliesI need to create an array, then iterate through a string, adding the string value to the array only is it does not already exist, to produce an array of unique values. The issue I am having is with the array.length operation - on a array that is nothing I am unable to retrieve the array length (0), as such I am unable to redimensionalise the array to be array length (must be array length as arrays are indexed from 0), providing me the ability to add the new value to the array and then continue the loop until all values have been checked to see if they exist within the array (using contains) and the value contain only unique values..

View 2 RepliesI'm using MySQL to store some numbers. One of the columns in the database is defined as unique, but it does allow multiple NULL-values. That is exactly how I want it.ut when I'm trying to load the data into my strongly typed DataSet, I get a error saying that a constraint fails... I do understand why that happens (several rows with NULL-values in a unique column), but is it a way to keep a DataColumn in vb.net unique, but still allow several rows with NULL-values like in MySQL?
View 2 RepliesI'm using an Infragistics UltraWinGrid with a column of drop-down boxes. I don't want the user to be able to select the same value for multiple rows in that column. Is there a simple (or heck, I'd settle for advanced) way to do this? I'm using VB.NET
-EDIT-
I tried setting a filter on the data source for the drop-down box. But when I did that, the values in the other boxes in that column started disappearing (not the values themselves, but the descriptions that they were supposed to represent, so instead of reading "Information", it just said "1"). All of the cells in a column refer to the same combo box, so if you filter out a value from the data source for one of them, you filter it out for all of them. I'm currently trying to catch a CellChange event and check against all other currently-used values. If it was already used, I would put up a message saying as much and revert back to the old value. However, the value comes back as the previously-saved one, so... not helpful. About to see if I can use the "text" property.
I have a listbox which is populated from a sql table. I need to select unique month values from the dates in this listbox.
Dates are, for example:

21/07/2010
09/06/2010
I need to extract september, june and july only from the above, sort them and display them in a another listbox.

I have a stored procedure (I cannot edit) that I am calling via linq.
The stored procedure returns values (more complex but important data below):
Customer Stock Item Date Price Priority Qty

CUST1 TAP 01-04-2012 £30 30 1 - 30
CUST1 TAP 05-04-2012 £33 30 1 - 30
CUST1 TAP 01-04-2012 £29 20 31 - 99
CUST1 TAP 01-04-2012 £28 10 1 - 30
I am trying to limit this list to rows which have unique Dates and unique quantities in LINQ. I want to remove items with the HIGHER priority leaving rows with unique dates and qty's.
I have tried several group by's using Max and order by's but have not been able to get a result.
Is there any way to do this via linq?

Managed to convert brad-rem's answer into VB.net.
Syntax below if anyone needs it:
returnlist = (From p In returnlist
Order By p.Qty Ascending, p.Priority
Group By AllGrp = p.Date, p.Qty Into g = Group
Select g.First).ToList

View 1 RepliesI thought I had this sussed until I then wanted to filter between two values or greater than or less than two values. I have searched and searched all over the web for this and I just go round in circles. This is so frustrating why is this so difficult to find something so basic (anyway that is my rant). I have something like this but am totally confused and do not understand what I am doing now: how I get this working in plain English.
Me.BindingSource.Filter = String.Format("DeliveryDate >= #{0:MMM/dd/yyyy}# And DeliveryDate <= #{1:MMM/dd/yyyy}#", dtpStartDelDate.Value.Date, dtpEndDelDate.Value.Date) _
& String.Format("JobID >= {0} AND JobID <= {1}", txtStartJobID.Text, txtEndJobID.Text)
If I run this with just the date range filter it works fine it is when I add the second filter for the Job ID range I get the following error; {"Syntax error: Missing operand after 'JobID' operator."}
So I it is this line I have the problem with:
String.Format("JobID >= {0} AND JobID <= {1}", txtStartJobID.Text, txtEndJobID.Text)

View 3 RepliesI am using VB .Net to access the eBay API and store all completed orders in a database. This database is then fed into a proprietary shipping system, which can not handle an order number larger than 20 characters. eBay returns an order number like so 230407279314-680141236013 which is too long. The order number is always 12 numbers a hyphen and 12 more numbers. What I need to do, is turn this (the result can be alpha numerical) into a shorter, unique order key to store in my database alongside the true orderId (so that this can be referenced by the shipping software instead of the actual order number). The reason for the 20 character limit is the barcode algorithm used. Is there any way to achieve this in VB .Net 2010? This number can be anything unique, so long as it does not exist already (even a good uniqueid function would work, but I would have to query the database to make sure it isn't taken)
