In .NET, the Generics Lists have a sort function that accepts IComparer or Comparison. I'd like to sort just part of a list. Hopefully I can specify the start index, count of elements to sort, and a lambda function. It looks like you can only use lambda functions to do this if you're sorting the entire list. Is that right or did I miss something?
View 4 RepliesI am programing a basic P.O.S. (Point of Sale) system, ad am looking for the best way to save Inventory objects. The object contains a few Singles and Strings (Such as barcode, name, price...ect). Assuming the user could possibly input thousands of such items, what is the best way to store and handle these?
My first, and simplest thought, is to add each inventory Item to an ArrayList, then once the user saves, or closes, the ArrayList prints each object to a text file, then when the program opens it reads the text file to re-populate the Array list. However, this seems very un-efficient (I assume). Would it be better to use an excell file or a Database (I know almost nothing about databases, but I can learn), or something completely different?
I am using file.readalllines to read the file into a string, then using listbox.items.addrange and splitting by vbcrlf to insert the items. Is there a way to reduce the lag it causes for loading huge lists?

View 2 RepliesI have a List(Of T) storing a list of Custom classes called Advertisement. Each advertisement contains 3 properties, Year, Make and Model. I need to sort the list By Year, then by Make and then by Model. I have a property in the Advertisement class called Vehicle which returns a formatted string with the Year Make Model like 2007 Toyota Tacoma and ive been sorting on that but its not working how I thought it would. Basically I want to sort the list by Year (decending; lowest year first) then sort by the Make and Model (in alphabetical order) Is that even possible? Here is the code ive been using.

I have a list of Objects. Each of these Objects contains a list of other Objects (pseudo code) :-
Private Structure Object1
dim Name as string
dim ListOfObject2 as List(Of Object2)

I need to sort the list of Object1 by the Value in Object2. I have a comparison class which sorts Object2 by its Value nicely.
What would be the fastest way to sort a list that contains a list of objects, based upon another list? An example follows:Say I have multiple lists of employees. Each individual list has a common property value, say "Department". So I have a list of employees, in one list they all have the department string value of "Sales". In another list all the objects have a department value of "Finance". These lists of employees are then contained in a list which holds them all.
I have a second list, which should drives the sort order of the employee lists. The second list simply contains a list of strings like, "Finance", "Sales", "IT" and so on. I'd like my lists of customers to be sorted in the order of "Finance", "Sales", etc.I'm using VB.NET in .NET 2.0

We have a generic List(Of Product) that must be sorted on two or more properties of the Product class.
The product class has the properties "Popular" numeric (asc), "Clicked" numeric (desc), "Name" string (asc). In order of naming the properties we want the list to sort.
How can it be sort with an lamba statement? If have found to sort the list based on one property.

This is my first time posting here although I have been lurking for quite some time. I'm stuck with a problem I have seen before and never solved: I have a long list (~23,000) of alphanumeric strings that I'm reading into a List(of String) from a text file, and then sorting. When I iterate through the list after sorting, it appears to be correctly sorted EXCEPT that the element that was originally at the beginning of the list is now at the end (and it should be somewhere in the middle after the sort)Here is a sample input:
PRE1-PRE2_00015648
PRE1-PRE2_00015649
PRE1-PRE2_00015650

View 2 RepliesI have a slightly odd problem that I think is most likely due to an act of foolishness on my part, but for the life of me I (and other members of my team) can't see it.I have an object that contains a generic list property which I would like to sort. I have written a comparer class to do this for me and I am calling it in the following way:baseObject.ListOfThings.Sort(new ThingComparer()I have debugged into my compare function and it is returning the right values.However After the sort call, the list remains unchanged. Have I missed something obvious, or is there something else I need to do.EDIT: Yes I was being a fool, and the property returning a list was recreating it from scratch each time it was accessed

I am working on the old hangman game. I am up to a part were I have to use a sort button to alphabetically sort the letters already guessed that are showing in the list.
I have found this code:
Array.Sort(strLettersGuessed)
lblGuessed.Text = ""
For i = 0 To strLettersGuessed.Length - 1
lblGuessed.Text = lblGuessed.Text + strLettersGuessed(i) + ", "

The problem I am having is where the flow chart asks us "is the letter at counter < the letter at counter -1? In my above code I am trying to answer this with this line:
If intCounter < strLettersGuessed.Length - 1 Then
I have tried about 50 different things in place of intCounter as well as strLettersGuessed.Length -1 and nothing seems to work. Sometimes I get an error stating can't be infinite, etc or I get no error at all but the sort button doesn't work.
I have a generic list, like this:
System.Collections.Generic.List<Question> myquestions = new System.Collections.Generic.List<Question>();
And I have a paging example, using a LINQ table acquried from database, doing this for paging:
var questions = context.Questions
.OrderBy(sidx + " " + sord)
.Skip(pageIndex * pageSize)
.Take(pageSize);
Right now, for paging my populated from code list, I have:
var questionss = myquestions
.OrderBy(x => x.Id)
.Skip(pageIndex * pageSize)
.Take(pageSize);
And what I want is being able to order "myquestions" by a string as in the above example. Is that possible?
