I want to change ListBox1 with ArrayList. But I couldn't find how to use adding a string to ArrayList in tread.
I have an arraylist (arrFirstArry) which I use to populate another arraylist (arrNoDuplicates) preventing any duplicates from being added. This works fine. What I would also like my code to do is prevent adding any partial values which may exist from being added. i.e. my array is like this

How could I declare an arraylist as strong typed arraylist of Strings I have tried this code

I'm trying to use an arraylist as the parameter to String.Format.
msg = msg & String.Format("<td>{0}</td>" & _
"<td>{1}</td>" & _
"<td>{2}</td>" & _ [code].....
But this code throws a FormatException
Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list.Am I wrong that it's possible to use an arraylist?
I have an ArrayList, and i wish to search it for a specific part of a string. Like the InStr() function.I can only find the WHOLE string. The ArrayList has strings like "This=Is A String", so if i do a check with ArrayList.Contains. It will only search for the whole string, and not something IN the string. Perhaps i need something like Starts With .
Code:
dim wordArr as New ArrayList
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If wordArr.Contains(TextBox1.Text) Then

Basically, Im running an SQL query to the database, which obviously returns data in their fields. What I want to do is add each record into an ArrayList and split the string based on fields. I.E
CustomerID,Surname,GivenName etc
How do I go about this? so far I have:
alstData.AddRange(sLine.Split(","c))
sLine = the record from the database.
This doesnt seem to work, it just display's the data in one line with no split such as 20205SmithJohn?
How do I convert an arraylist into a string of comma delimited values in vb.net. I have an arraylist with ID values

str="1,2,3"
I've got some code that creates a list of AD groups that the user is a member of, with the intention of saying 'if user is a member of GroupX then allow admin access, if not allow basic access'.
I was using a StringCollection to store this list of Groups, and intended to use the Contains method to test for membership of my admin group, but the problem is that this method only compares the full string - but my AD groups values are formatted as cn=GroupX, etc....
I want to be easily able to determine if a particular substring (i.e. 'GroupX') appears in the list of groups. I could always iterate through the groups check each for a substring representing my AD group name, but I'm more interested in finding out if there is a 'better' way.
Clearly there are a number of repositories for the list of Groups, and it appears that Generics (List(Of String)) are more commonly preferred (which I may well implement anyway) but there is no in-built means of checking for a substring using this method either.
I've settled on using a List(Of), and I've borrowed from Dan's code to iterate through the list.
I 've an ArrayList and to join all its elements with a separator in one string I m using...
Dim s As String = String.Join(",", TryCast(myArrayList.ToArray(GetType(String)), String()))
however, I would know if there is a smarter/shorter method to get the same result,or same code that looks better...
What I am doing is iterating through all the groups that belong to the top group (Generic reports). Then I take advantage of the GroupPrincipal.GetMembers(True) which will recurse through a given group name. I test to see if the user exits under that group and if true I put the group name in an arraylist.
I use the for each principal in GroupPrincipal.GetMembers to loop through each returned user to see if they exist.
Is there a way to put all the returned users Principal.Name from a given group in GroupPrincipal.GetMembers into an ArrayList? This would allow me to to use Arraylist1.IndexOf to search for user. Which would be much faster then iterating through a returned list using the for each construct.
Sub RetAllMbrs(strUser As String)
Dim oPC As PrincipalContext = GetPrincipalContext() '<- this is function somewhere else in the code
[Code].....
Speed is critical in my application. As of now, I'm using an ArrayList to store a list of Strings and I use BinarySearch functionality of ArrayLists to search for an item. Would I be able to do this faster using String Collection and a for loop?

What I need to do is read an ArrayList in My.Settings and add another ArrayList to it. The first think I'm trying to do is load My.Settings.Records into myArrayList. I'm not quite sure on the proper way to do this. I've tried things such as Dim myArrayList As ArrayList = My.Settings.Records, I'm not sure if I need New and I'm not sure if I need .Clone or .CopyTo.
Then I have another ArrayList myArrayList2. To get this into myArrayList I've done: [Code] Then to save it back to My.Settings I've done. My.Settings.Records = myArrayList. The problem is I keep on getting Object reference not set to an instance of an object error on the AddRange line. My.Settings.Records is definitely an ArrayList and it will sometimes = Nothing. The objects will only ever be strings.
I'm currently creating a web service that will allow the user to access a staff directory that is stored in an XML document format on a server. What I've managed to do so far is load my XML document into the server, convert the entire contents into a string and send it over SOAP to my client. The client successfully receives the entire content of the string. My problem however is that I'm finding it hard to find a technique that will allow me to convert my string back into an XML structure. I used a messagebox in the client to display the contents to make sure everything is received and all is well. Below is the code I'm using on the server side to convert the XML document to a string.[code]....

View 3 RepliesThis is my first time posting on the site, but I have found it very helpful in the past. I'm a self taught VB.NET developer and I have run across two questions.1) I'm working on a clients site to add a dynamic billing amount that is determined on what drop down list value is selected or what string gets input into the text box. I'm using nested case statements for this since it seemed a little easier, I'm also using two string arrays to hold my variables for use later on. Here is my question, since I am using strings for my variables do I need to convert them into integers to add them? I know the amp sign "&" is used for combining strings and whatnot, but does the plus sign "+" add the values together or combines them? I know if I convert the string to an integer then convert it back to a string that it will cause more processing to be done and I don't want that. What would be my best option in this case?
2) As for my second question, what's the best way to find an exact string? I have used InStr() before for small checks and it works just fine. But I was wondering if using str.Contains() is better suited for this task. From my understanding, InStr() looks for a relevance of the string you're looking for and str.Contains() looks a little more closely to better find what it is you're looking for. The reason I need to find an exact match is that if the user inputs 10 in the textbox, the code won't give them the price for 1. I have 4, 6, and 8 defined in the drop down list so I'm not worried about those. Would adding pound signs "#" around the string I'm looking for help narrow it down to only what I want?
As for the code, it's not completed. I just started it and began wondering on what was the best way of doing this. Private TUITION_COST As String() = {"900", "1800", "2700", "3600", "4500", "5400", "6300", "7200", "8100", "9000", "9900", "10800"}

I'm trying to convert a large array to a string, and then back into the array again after sending it over a network connection. No problems with that, but to keep my string as small as possible, I want to convert each array element into a single byte. I know that each element is going to contain a number no bigger than 100, so there will be no problems keeping them all 1 byte long. Problem is, I can't find the correct conversion commands. I think I should use 'Chr' to convert them into a string, but I can't work out how to convert that back into a number at the other end.
View 3 RepliesI've got the following simple code to convert Bytes to a Hex string :-
Code:
Shared Function BytesToHex(ByVal bytes() As Byte) As String
If bytes Is Nothing Then Return ""
Dim S As String = BitConverter.ToString(bytes)
[Code].....
The HexToBytes routine obviously can take a lot longer to complete than the BytesToHex routine and is noticeably slower when dealing with a lot of data. As I'm converting a lot of hex strings back to bytes, I wondered if there was a more efficient way of doing it without looping through the whole string as I am doing?

I have an application that monitors a set of opc boolean tags.When a tag changes from false to true (triggered), the application is supposed to query the database for data recording during a specific time period.I had the app done or so i thought until i realized that the background worker that i dimension to do the query is not firing the runworker completed event.at the start of the app, I create a new class for each trigger config in an xml file. Each trigger class has its own opc monitor and handle specific for that one boolean tag.If a tag changes to true a NEW instance of the query class is created.A new background worker instance is dimensioned to do the actual work.(this because there is a pre trigger query and a post trigger query which could be up to 24 hrs after the event has been "triggered" to true and the bg worker will wait until the required amount of time has completed before doing the post query).When the bg worker has completed, it should dispose of itself and all its managed resources.
The very first tag that changes to true will function as expected but when it is complete the RunWorkerCompleted will not fire. Everyone there after will operate as expected but not the very first one.I couldnt figure out why so I started commenting out some code.If I remove the line to create a new oracle connection, it works.
