How To Quickly Transform A List(Of Object) Into A List(Of "Object.field")

May 29, 2012

Suppose I have a list of Cat.

Public Class Cat
Public Property id As Guid
Public Property name As String
Public Property race As catRace
End Class

How can I quickly transform this List(Of Cat) into a List(Of Guid) using the id property?

I could do :

Dim newList As List(Of Guid)
For each item in catList
newList.Add(item.id)
Next

But I think there must be a way to do this faster (1 LOC). I just can't find how.

List Of T Find Date Or Other Property In A Object In The List - Then Return Found Object?

Sep 3, 2009

After reading all the examples for list of T exists and Find and find first, none show how to handle multi-property objects. Below is bare bones example maybe someone could flesh out to show how this should be done.

Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim DatePriceList As New List(Of DateAndPrice)
DatePriceList.Add(New DateAndPrice(Date.Parse("1/1/2000"), 10.12))
DatePriceList.Add(New DateAndPrice(Date.Parse("1/2/2000"), 11.12))

Display A List (Of Object) Which Has Single Objects And Child List (Of Object)?

Sep 6, 2011

Limited to using v2.0 of .Net framework (we use VB.net) due to environmental constraints on our servers.I've got an ASP.net webpage which pulls data from a webservice that performs checks on user accounts in active directory. Operators can check multiple accounts at one time using the web interface. The webservice returns a list(of AccountCheck) objects which themselves contain single properties like username, email address, and List(of AccountError) objects which contain multiple properties.[code]What I want to do is using some kind of repeater, create multiple panels or divs which contain labels showing the username, email etc, and a gridview which has the accounterror list bound to it to show all the errors. The users could be checking 2, 5, 7 accounts at once, and is dynamic.

Why Is List.add() Adding Items To Object AND Source Object As Well

Jun 15, 2011

I need to be able to add elements to a copy of mylist.testlist without modifying the global mylist object. (Which seems to be happening via the below code.)When I am working on x, which should be a totally separate object, mylist is getting modified as well. How can I fix this? I have worked with lists extensively and never seen this behavior before. I have tested and reproduced the problem in .NET 3.5 and .NET 4.0 on Win 7 Pro 32bit.

Source Code:

Public Class Form1
Public mylist As New test

Copy List Object To Another List Object

Jun 15, 2012

I am having a problem when setting VB.NET list object to another.I create an instance on ReadLocations and than create an object of ReadLocation where then I loop through ReadLocations and set ReadLocation1 equal to rl. What happens is that if I then go and change ReadLocation1 to something else (assdfhsd) it will also change the ReadLocations index. I am really confused why it would be doing that unless it is "=" sign means referencing instead of actually setting the value. Please help as I am a C# developer but the program I am modifying is in VB.NET.[code]

Can Get A Specific Object Out Of List

May 23, 2010

I have a number of custom objects of type X. X has a number of parameters and must be unique in the collection. (I created my own equals method based on the custom parameters to examine this) In each object of type x, I have a list of objects y.I want to add/remove/modify easily an object y. To write the add method, it would be something like add(objTypeX, objTypeY)I would check or the collections already has a objTypeX.If so: i would add the objTypeY to the already existing objTypeX else: i would create objTypeX and add objTypeY to this object. [code] Which collections should I use? I tried with hashset but i can get a specific object out of the list, without run down the list till I find that object.

List Of New Custom Object?

Sep 2, 2010

I created a simple (for now) custom object:

VB
Public Class Form1
Dim AllPartFiles As List(Of Part)

[code]....

As I search a folder for files, it returns FilePath as a string for each file in the folder, then assigns a new Part.FullFilePath to the current returned FilePath, then add the Part to AllPartFiles list. So I can retrieve each Part from AllPartFiles later. But everything I try doesnt work.I know below is wrong, but might show what Im trying to do:

VB
Dim Files() As String
Files = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(RootFolder, "*.ipt")
Dim k As String

[code]....

Create a New Part, change its values, and then add it to AllPartFiles list for later, then repeat?

.net List(of T) Not Returning Indexed Object?

Sep 30, 2011

I'm working on a small game that is based on a map of grid squares.I have a class (clsGrid) that stores a few properties for each grid square.The grid square objects are organized into a list(of clsGrid).A loop and stream reader are successfully reading properties from a text file, putting the properties into grid objects, and adding the grid objects to a my list of grids. When retrieving a grid from the list of grids, I'm getting unusual results. Regardless of the index I give the list, I always seem to get the last indexed grid in the list.The debugger seems to suggest that the right numbers are being read into the stream reader and they are being added to gridHolder. However, the message box at the end will always show me the LAST grid.id, regardless of the index I give it.

Adding Items To A List (of Object)?

Mar 28, 2010

I have some code that adds items to a List(of Object).

Here's my original code

Dim BeaconStoryList as New List(Of My.StoryType)
Dim BeaconStory as New My.StoryType
Dim NewStories() as New Foriegn.StoryType = GetStories

[Code]....

But as soon as the code assigned "Chicken" to BeaconStory.Title, then BeaconStoryList(0).Title would also change to "Chicken".

With my second version of the code this did not happen.

It's as though it was placing pointers into the elements of the array rather than values. If that is the case, however, then why does my second version of the code work - I'm still passing in the same thing - aren't I?
