Adding Items To List Results In Duplicates?
Jul 29, 2009I have this code to return a list of fund sources for our organization.
Dim FundSourceList As New List(Of FundSource)
Dim fs As New FundSource
If results.Count > 0 Then[code].....
The problem is that when I loop through the resulting FundSourceList all it shows is the last value. For example, if I have three fund sources (state, federal, athletic), then when I use this code to loop through all I get listed is athletic, athletic, athletic.
For Each FundSource In FundSources
Debug.Print(FundSource.FundDescription)
Next
So I change the code to this. I moved the creation of the fs variable inside the loop.
Dim results = From result In dsResult.Tables(0) Select result
Dim FundSourceList As New List(Of FundSource)
If results.Count > 0 Then[code]....
This works fine but now I'm creating a new class over and over again. It seems a little inefficient to me. Can I not create the class outside the loop and use it over and over again?

View 2 RepliesLINQ VB How To Check For Duplicates In A List Of Objects
Oct 11, 2011I have a list of objects, each with 2 relevant properties: "ID" and "Name". Lets call the list "lstOutcomes".I need to check the list for duplicates (meaning object1.ID = object2.ID, etc.) and set a flag (valid = false, or something) if there is at least one duplicate. Also, it would be nice to send a message to the user mentioning the "Name" of the object, when it fails.I am sure I will need to use the Group By operator to do this, but I am not used to doing that in LINQ, and the examples out there are just not helping me. This article seems to be close to what i need, but not quite and it's in C#.
Here is a starting stab at it...

View 2 RepliesException When Sorting List
Jan 29, 2010I'm trying to sort a List of objects with a generic comparison.I get an exception when the property on which I'm sorting happens to be null in one of the objects.VB.NET 2.0, web.i've read several posts on this exception, and still don't get it.[code]It is true that this only happens on properties which happen to be null somewhere in the list.Sometimes I sort on other properties which happen to always be always non-null (using a different, but similar, comparison method), and this technique works just fine.I've tried to implement the CompareTo for both IComparable and IComparable(of FollowupSurvey) so I could capture this exception while debugging, but netiher actually get invoked (despite what it seems like the exception is telling me). At this point, I don't have a CompareTo in my FollowupSurvey object; thus, it's using Object's.It doesn't seem as if I can really help if the base CompareTo doesn't reutrn 0.anyone have any idea what this exception really means, and how to make sorting work properly?

View 1 RepliesSorting - List.sort Not Working?
Apr 3, 2009I 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

View 1 RepliesSorting Number Numerically In List View?
Dec 18, 2010In 2007 I created a program that reads weather data into a listview. When a user clicks on the column header it fires off the column click event handler which calls the Sort Wrapper function. The Sort wrapper will re-order items either in ascending or descending order.
I have never been able to get negative integers to sort properly. I have created a stripped down listview program with a few numbers in the grid for testing. (see attached program zip file).When you run the program, click on the column header that says "Val" and you will see right away that the numbers do not sort correctly.
Sorting System.Collections.Generic.List?
Feb 2, 2012I have a lists of different custom classes and each must be sorted severals times before the algorithm is complete. For each sort I wrote a comparer. Sofar so good. Everything works. But: By now I have abou a dozen different comparers in more than one class and it is still getting more. I wonder if there is a way to limit the number by writing a new general function that can be used to sort all lists without the need for a specific comparer.Below is what I've got so far. But it does not work.

VS 2008 Extracting Best Laptime And Sorting A List
Aug 22, 2011So I'm working on this school project where I'm supposed to add names and laptimes from textboxes to a list. I've got that sorted out with some help from Shaggy_Hiker (thanks!). Now what I'm trying to do is get the best laptime from the list of entries and display that in a label. I also want to sort the list by laptimes in ascending order, and I've tried the.Sort method without too much luck + all entries with a laptime over 60 min should be disqualified.
(I'm thinking of adding all of these to a seperate list which I've named feilreg, but right now all entries that doesn't meet the right criteria like empty textbox, negative laptime and so on gets saved to that list. I'd like to make it just entries over 60 min) I also can't seem to figure out why a laptime of say '32.45' won't register, it has to be with a comma like '32,45'. I've got a function in my class 'Rundetid' to format the output to two decimals maximum.

Sorting A List Based On An ArrayList Within A Custom Object
May 24, 2010I am using a list to keep track of a number of custom Row objects as follows:
Public Rows As List(Of Row)()
Row has 2 properties, Key (a String) and Cells (an ArrayList).
I need to be able to sort each Row within Rows based on a developer defined index of the Cells ArrayList.
So for example based on the following Rows
Row1.Cells = ("b", "12")
Row2.Cells = ("a", "23")
Rows.Sort(0) would result in Row2 being first in the Rows list. What would be the best way of going about implementing this?
