Get All Dictionary Values?
Dec 6, 2010It is possible to output all the dictionary values to a textbox? Not the keys, just the values of all the keys.

View 5 RepliesI 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

I have this dictoinary:
Dim chardict As Dictionary(Of Char, Integer) = Nothing
chardict.Add("A", 0)
chardict.Add("B", 1)
I wanted to do the following if statement but I am a bit stuck on the syntax:
if chardict.containskey("A")
'display the value that corrosponds to the letter "A"
'in this case display the character 0
[some code]
end if
Very easy today, I think. In C#, its:
Dictionary<String, String> dict = new Dictionary<string, string>() { { "", "" } };
But in vb, the following doesn't work.
Public dict As Dictionary(Of String, String) = New Dictionary(Of String, String) (("",""))
I'm pretty sure there's a way to add them at declaration, but I'm not sure how. And yes, I want to add them at declaration, not any other time. :)
I've also tried:
Public dict As Dictionary(Of String, String) = New Dictionary(Of String, String) ({"",""})
And...
Public dict As Dictionary(Of String, String) = New Dictionary(Of String, String) {("","")}
And...
Public dict As Dictionary(Of String, String) = New Dictionary(Of String, String) {{"",""}}
I have a dictionary of type:
Dim parentDictionary As Dictionary(int,Dictionary(string,string)).
Dim childDictionary As Dictionary(string,string).
parentDictionary.Add(1,childDictionary)
Now I need to iterate over childDictionary to fetch key value pairs.My childDictionary is inside parentDictionary.
is there a way i can have a dictionary or something of that sort that can hold 3 values to 1 key?

Basically, I want to do "How to insert values into C# Dictionary on instantiation?" with VB.NET.

I add objects (structure type) to a dictionary with string keys.
i don't figure out how to update a value of a object.
i use TryGetValue to get a reference to a object of the dictionary collection.
But the changes i made at the referenced object are not made at the object at the dictionary.
Any hints how to get a object reference to change values without to re-add the complete object?[code]...
If I had multiple entries under my value in my dictionary, is there anyway I can put each value in separate tags to create an xml document?
Is there anyway to split the 3 values into their own tags?

View 1 RepliesI have a VB.NET project where I am able to iterate through the keys and values collections of a dictionary object using an index:
MyDictionary.Keys(idx)
MyDictionary.Values(idx)
When this code is taken from the test project and placed into the real project I get the following error:
'System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary(Of Double, String).KeyCollection' cannot be indexed because it has no default property.[code]...
In the line in sub search that says "dtf.Keys(idx) = 0" place your cursor after the right parenthesis and backspace you should get a tooltip that says, "<Extension> ElementAtOrDefault(index as Integer) as Double - index: the zero based element of the index to retrieve.
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

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:

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?
View 3 RepliesI've got a nested dict like:
Public collectionMain As New Dictionary(Of String, Dictionary(Of String, String))
When inserting a new item:
collectionMain.Add(node.SelectSingleNode("key").InnerText.Trim, collectionSub)
collectionSub.Clear()
On the add my collectionSub is filled with key & values. But when calling clear, the collectionMain.value is empty.
How can i keep the collectionMain dictionary value?
The collectionSub needs to be cleared, it's in a loop for filling.

View 6 Repliesi was searching for a simple solution that i can use in sorting a dictionary by value, and i was not content with what i found, so i made up these two functions for sorting a dictionary ascending and descending. I do not assume that they are perfect, so improvements are welcomed. They are written in VB.Net and use an intermediary dictionary.
Public Function SortDictionaryAsc(ByVal dict As Dictionary(Of Long, Decimal)) As Dictionary(Of Long, Decimal)

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.
