Is there any way to select items in a list that aren't contained in another? For example:list1 = From t In list1 Where Not list2.Contains(t.column1)That gives me the error:Value of type 'Integer' cannot be converted to '<anonymous type>'which makes sense, since list2.Contains is expecting the same type as list2. However, the list types are different. I want only to select based on column comparisons.
View 3 RepliesAssuming a base type of "Message"...
[Code]...
I would like to have one collection of Message objects which can be either PhoneMessages or MailMessages, so that I can iterate through the list and deal with each message based on what type it happens to be.
Attempting just to use .Add() fails, saying that I can't add an item of type PhoneMessage to a List(Of Message). Is there some elegant way to accomplish what I'm trying to do? I had thought I could accomplish this with generics, but I think there's a gap in my understanding. If it can be accomplished in .NET 2.0, that would be ideal.
I have two string lists in VB.NET 2010, one with questions and one with answers:
questionlist.Add("When shall we meet?")
questionlist.Add("Let's meet at eight")
questionlist.Add("Shall we meet in front of the bar?")

When a button is clicked the program will check if the answer matches the answer in the list. The problem is that I need it to pick the corresponding entry from the answer list to check if the answer is correct. How can I do this?
I have two objects that are derived from same the base class. ets say ObjA is the base class, and ClassB and ClassC inherits ObjA. f I have a dim lst1 as List(Of ClassB) im list2 as List(Of ClassA)nd and I want to check for the existence of something being in lst1 that it is in list2, now I am only interested in comparing against one key bit of information that it is declared in the base class and is a string. How can I iterate through the lst1 comparing against list2? I thought I could I overload/override the Equals method but I am having no joy for either of the classes and say some thing similar to
Public Overloads Overrides Function Equals(ByVal obj As Object) As Boolean
Dim temp As ClassA = TryCast(obj, ClassA)
If temp.Id = Me.Id Then

I am using VB.NET (version 2008). I have two types of items populating in a listbox (checked listbox). For example: lets say one is type "A" and other is "Type B". Their names maybe same so if the user sees those items in listbox then he won;t be able to determine their type until he click on them and checks out its properties. I wanted that I add each item to listbox and colour them so that blue for example means type "A" is there and red means the other. So this way I will be able to know at a glance that how many item of what type is present. I guess it may not be possible to do that in a standard checkedlistbox. I am also using component factory's krypton controls which enhance the gui of an application. But I dunno if I can progress using that.

I'm looping all the properties in an object via reflection:
For Each p As PropertyInfo In values.[GetType]().GetProperties()
If p.CanRead Then
'Do stuff
End If
Next
how to determine whether the property in question is a generic List(Of T)? If it is I need to loop the list itself.
I've experimented with GetType and TypeOf but have not managed to get anything working.
To clarify, I want to keep this generic. I do not want to specify the type of T, I need to loop the list items and call the ToString method on each item. T could be one of a number of different types (application specific reference types). Is it possible to do this without specifying types?

This program is supposed to allow the user to check items in a checked list box. If the item is checked, it goes into the Completed List Box on the right. The program then adds the unchecked items to the Pending list box on the left. I keep getting placement values (e.g. O,1,2) instead of the strings (e.g. "Key Returned") in the list box results (see photo attached)

Another program I am working on for fun, I am basically shuffling a list inside a listbox, what I want to do is delete the rest but not sure how to go through with that. At the moment I have this: [code] Just contains the code, declarations outside weren't included.So anyway, once clicked, it will call on the function to basically shuffle in a for loop, I was wondering if I should (or how should) create another function and call it in the click button or have just a loop in the click button so it deletes half the list. What I am doing is I have 20 list of items, I want the program to shuffle the items and then deleting the lower 10, meaning, if I had 10 items and wanted 5 top, I'd want: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and deleting 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

Given a list of objects, I'd like to print a string version of them just in case the object.ToString() result is a relevant string.By that I mean I don't want to get things like:
obj.ToString() -> System.Collections.Generic.List`1[MyLib.Dude]
obj.ToString() -> System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.Int32,System.DateTime]
obj.ToString() -> System.Byte[]
But I want to get things like:
obj.ToString() -> Hi
obj.ToString() -> 129847.123
obj.ToString() -> Id = 123

View 9 RepliesI am working with LINQ to XML in VB (although answers in C# are great, too). First off- my code works, so this is not critical. However, I can't help but think that what I'm doing with conditional logic should already be doable using the LINQ query itself. Here's what I've got:

Please don't be too critical of my method of locating the sibling nodes- the XML files are produced by a third-party testing device and this is the only generic way to get the values I need. What I'm really looking for here is a better way to handle the If block.
