I have a custom collection class. The main member of the class is a List(Of T). I did what this article says: [URl] For some reason though I can only foreach my collection once. The second time it tries it goes out of range because the position does not reset after the first foreach. What am I doing wrong?

i have the following snippet of
For Each tempstring In SourceDataCollection
LineToFieldsTemp = Split(tempstring, ",")
LineStringWithoutFirstEntry = "" 'reset the linestring
For i = 1 To UBound(LineToFieldsTemp)

essentially what i'm doing is to read through each item in a collection of comma separated variable strings. the first variable in each string is appended to a master filename and becomes the NEW filename to which the entire string will be appended. this is a way to split a CSV file into multiple files using the first variable in that string.
the trouble is that this is doing a LOT of writes to potentially a LOT of files, the IO is taking forever. is there a way to buffer this data until the end, then write it to a disk? be aware, the filenames and total number of files to be created is UNKNOWN at the begining of the loop. it just creates a new file each time a unique first column ID is discovered.
I have my regex setup, which works prefectly:
vb.net
Dim testStr As String = "<option value=""18621335"">graham23s</option>"
Dim rx As New Regex("<option value=""(d+)"">(.+?)</option>")

When i put it into my own application i have done:
vb.net
Dim stringSource As New Regex("<optionvalue=""(d+)"">(.+?)</option>", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase Or RegexOptions.Singleline)
Dim stringMatches As MatchCollection = stringSource.Matches(stringCle

what i am having trouble with is getting the values while in the foreach loop.
I have the following classes:
Product, Service and OrderItem
Product and Service must inherit OrderItem. So basically I want to store OrderItem object in my shopping cart and these object are store in a list.

Private m_strUserID As Integer[code].....
I have an ASP.NET app with lots of textboxes all over the page that need updating at various points through program execution. These textboxes actually belong to a certain class, so for easy updating I thought I could create a Dictionary(Of string, object) and add the control.ID and the control to it and then for updating do something like this:

I have recently started to try to convert some of the applications I have written in VBA in excel into stand alone programs. I don't have any formal programming training and I am learning the hard way that VB is really not very close to VBA!! I am trying to change the properties of radio buttons in a groupbox when a certain event occurs. In VBA I used this code:

I've got a page with a ton of checkBoxes on it. I would like to have a loop that can can just go through all of them but I can't get it to work. I know similar code works for a desktop application but apparently not for an ASP page. [Code]
View 5 RepliesI have 20 controls that I created on a form. the names are like btnRing1, btnRing2, btnRing3, etc.
So I have a do while loop , and I have my variables in place. One line of code is "btnRing1.Start = PlrName" So PlrName is a variable, pulling that info from a database. I don't want to list each btnRing1, 2, 3 in each block of code in my loop.
Is there a way to use the name btnRing + 1, or something like that so I don't have to list all 20 controls in my code.
I know I can dynamically build the controls, but I can only have 20, so I need to have a little control on the numbers. So I need to have the controls already built.
I have created a customised checkbox control (only the text and border appearance has been modified), and wanted to loop through them in a User quizto see which have been checked and are correct. I have used the Tag property (set to 1 or 0) to identify incorrect answers, and tried to loop through with the following code:For Each thing As GMAW.MyCheckBox In currentParent.ActiveMdiChild.Controls
View 7 RepliesI am trying to find a way to use the UseCompatibleTextRendering properties on each control on my form. However, it does not seem to be an option when i use the following code below:
For Each ocontrol As Control In Form1.Controls
ocontrol.UseCompatibleTextRendering = True
Next
ocontrol does not seem to have that option but has all other options for the button. If i do Buttion1.UseCompatibleTextRendering = True then it works just fine.
i have a winform and i have about 30 labels and 30 picture boxes on it. What i would like to do is fill each label and picturebox with a value and image from a backend database. I could have easily done this in vb6 using control struture , for eg.
for x = 1 to 30
picturebox(x).image = value from database
label(x).caption = value from database

I did a quick net search and found this which works great for looping through all the buttons to disable them. These buttons are located right on the form.
For Each ctlControl In Form_BLAH.Controls
Select Case TypeName(ctlControl)
Case "Button"
ctlControl.Enabled = False
End Select
Next ctlControl
However...when I tried it on a form where the buttons are contained within a Table Layout Panel it does not work.
I am now working on converting this entire application over to a Web Application, and I am stuck in the same position. I am attaching the code that works in VB.Net:[code]....
View 1 RepliesI have a dynamic webpage that loads a user control multiple times, including loading the user control within itself as many times as needed. Within the user control there are four controls: Title Label, Repeater, Placeholder and within Repeater a AjaxControlToolkit Rating control.
The structure can look like the following:
Webpage
Placeholder
UserControl (repeater hidden, no data)
Placeholder - [UserControl]
[code]....
how do I efficiently loop through this type of structure to find the rating controls?
I am converting a program I wrote in VB6 to Visual Studio 2010 VB.Net and have run into a problem. I am trying to cycle through 20 form elements on a form that all have the prefix 'chkCustomerItems' and then have a number 1 to 20 behind them. I am using this with a database lookup so that it there is a database entry it then applies the database item name to the checkbox's text field and turns visibility on. Here is the code I wrote:
ConnOpenClose()
Rs = New ADODB.Recordset
Sql = "SELECT * FROM CustomersItems;"
[Code]....
When it runs, I get a NullReferenceException error. This is basically the code that I used in VB6 (with some changes for .NET infrastructure).
I am looping through all controls on my form and for all checkboxes, I want to see if they are checked. I cannot get the Checked property when doing this. Am I doing something wrong?

I'm translating my VB.Net application, and I need to loop through all the controls on my form. Using a recursive function such as

But there is obviously an inheritance problem, since CommonDialog objects are not controls.
Is there a way for me to loop through really all the items displayed on my form?
I am familer with looping thru controls like so:

Next I have some labels on another form, that due to the design can't be in seperate panels. They are (lblChipColor1 - 6) and (lblChipValue1 - 7). I am trying to populate the color ones from the Array above. I can obviously loop thru the array, but I can't find a decent way to loop thru just the lblChipColorx lables ignoring the lblChipValue1x labels. It would be easy if they were on seperate panels. I tried adding the labels names to an array of type string and of type label, but got nowhere with that. Is there another way to group them, or build const array of label names, that I can work with?
I am trying something new. I now how to loop through items in a list box but this is where I am stuck. I am looking to loop through my list box and send a email to each email within my list box.I am unsure if I am using the right loop or not. I am using a for loop. Here is what I have so far in code:
Dim smtpserver As New SmtpClient
Dim mail As New MailMessage
smtpserver.Credentials = New Net.NetworkCredential(txtUsername.Text, txtPassword.Text)

I am looping through a list for a spellchecker in vb.net (using vs 2010). I want to go through a wrongly spelled word list. Each time the code picks the index that's one higher than the index of the last checked word.
In my version of notquiteVB/Pythonese I think it would translate something like:
(start loop)
dim i as Integer = 0
dim word as String
[Code]....
But this doesn't work at all...when it gets to the last item in the list and reaches 'word = ' it throws the error of 'out of range -- must be less than the size of the collection'.
How do you get the last item in a list? Maybe lists aren't what VB uses for this kind of thing?
I'm making a card game and I want to try and design my own card deck.
Dim X As Integer
Dim currentCard As Integer, currentCard2 As Integer
Dim RandomNumbers As New Random()
Dim NumberofCards As Integer
[code]....
I started a basic vb.net class for my fall semester of high school, and although I've learned a lot, my goal since the start of the semester has been to do this. I realize there are simpler way of assigning card values than writing 52 if then statements, but I'm planning on doing other things with the statements. As you can see, my main plan of action is to generate a random number for each card, loop through the array list to make sure the random number representing that card hasn't been assigned before, use the value to select the card, and then add the randomly selected number to the array list so it won't be used again (non-repeating random numbers).
1) I'm trying to represent all the numbers with Numberlist.Item(X) and that doesn't work because either a) x represents any one number or b) x always represents only 0, which means it only checks the first number.
2) I think I've read something about using this method for generating random numbers in a loop, that it doesn't work for some reason.
I want my loop to loop until it reaches the last string in my generic list. I know I could simply insert the last index of the list as an integer but I want to be able to use this if my list grows too. How could I achieve this?
View 5 RepliesI have a procedure in VB.net using VS.net 2008 which will get the list of Orders and build a XML file with the list of Orders as shown in the code below: As the number of Orders is getting huge, I want to build the XML file for every 500 Orders

Instead of building XML for all the records I want to create XML for each 500 records. I tried the following code and it is throwing an error saying Expression is of type Orders which is not a collection type.

I am trying to move through a list "TodaysCard" and print the TimeOfDay.ToString into the first column of every row and to only create the amount of rows that are needed. But am a bit of a novice when it comes to this and can only get it to display the TimeOfDay.ToString value for the first item in the list over and over again. Just wondering how I can get it to iterate through each item properly.

I'm a bit confused here. I'm copying all the controls from one form to a panel on the main form and for some reason only about half of them copy.
Private Sub switchComponent()
Dim selection As String = TreeView1.SelectedNode.Text
Panel1.Controls.Clear()[code]....
When stepping through the code, serverDic(selection).Controls has 12 elements, but only 6 of them get copied. Next time this gets called, only 3 get copied. Does Panel1.Controls.clear() somehow kill the references?
EDIT: Just to show that there are infact 12 elements in the collection:
Im trying to loop through a collection of controls see code:
Private Sub addZeros()
For Each ctrl As Control In Me.Controls

I often see code snippets for handling each control of a certain type on a form or panel, etc.They always start with For Each ctrl and the do a test for control type.Many .NET users are not aware, as I was not until I tried it recently, that we can LINQ on the controls collection.Below is a simple sub I created for resetting every checkbox on a panel I use as a validator.
Private Sub ResetCheckBoxes(ByRef pnl As Panel)
Dim ctrls as System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable(Of Object)
ctrls = From c In pnl.Controls Where TypeOf (c) Is CheckBox

I have been Google-ing for four days now and still i can find no solution to my problem:(and my brain hurts) i recently made a windows application that pulls data from a mySQL Database and populates my form but when i was told to use excel instead of MySQL thats when the problems started. while setting up vb to connect to MySQL i found a few articles that explained in good enough detail how to set up vb before ever doing any coding
ie.( boot vb, start windows form project, click project/add reference, click on the COM tab and add the MySQL reference then click ok. next click data/Add new data source, chose database click next, click new connection, choose MySQL data source click continue, enter database info(server, user, password, port) click ok. then start coding connection strings and commands ( which i have no problem with)
My problem i can find all sorts of code to work with excel but i feel i need to go through the same environment set up as with MySQL but i cant figure out how to set it up i only need to read data from excel file to populate my form data ie.( text boxes, labels, datagridview, Ect...) does anyone know how to set up the development environment to facilitate my use of excel. or does anyone know of a better way to store and retrieve my data maybe a vb local database ( does that travel with the .exe easily?)
