I am trying to convert an algorithm to use them in order to save memory. However, I am struggling to achieve error-free code while using "Strict On".
Here is a basic version of the code I am attempting to use.
Code:
Option Explicit On
Option Strict On
Module Program
[Code]...
It works when I do not use the Strict option. How do I improve the code to compile error-free?
I used to program with Visual Basic 6, so I have alot of old programs that I'm updating, plus I'm learning the new VB2008 methods. I'm writing a program that replaces the old "BitBlit" function which is no longer supported by Visual Basic 2008. It involves three picture boxes, one holds the sprite bitmap, a second holds the mask (silhouette) of the sprite bitmap, and a third has a background image.

I have two arraylists, and I would like to have a new arraylist with only the uncommon items. Is this the "best" or at least decent way to do it?
[Code]...
OK, so I am creating a bit of code that will allow me to randomly pick one "card" from a "deck", delete that "card" from the deck, and repeat. I found in all of my research that vb.net has the arraylist that is supposed to be very simple in these situations. However, when I try to populate them with a For Each statement, I only get odd numbers in the array list. What am I missing?
Dim a As New ArrayList
For i As Integer = 1 To 52
a.Add(i)

I have two arraylists that contains links in one and the root url in the other. Sometimes the lists dont equal in number and I would like to iterate through the links list and if it contains a matching root url add it to a third list but also avoid any duplicates. I tried this but am not getting consistent results.
For Each link As String In urls
For Each part As String In post
If part.Contains(link) Then
[code]....
Perhaps there is another way; basically the part in post is a link to a page and contains the root url( which is link in urls). After extracting all these I need to ensure the 2 lists match.
I was trying to use ArrayLists with My.Settings but I can't seem to figure out how to get them to work.If I make a setting called "Words" and make it an ArrayList without a value, the program has an error every time I try to run it. If I try to give it a value in the project properties window it always gives me an incorrect data type error. Besides, I don't want it to have a value, I want it to be blank such as when declaring a New ArrayList. The only way I can get an ArrayList My.Setting to work is by clicking in the Value box, clicking the "..." button in the corner and adding some kind of Object with the add button. This automatically puts some kind of wierd object in the first index of the array list. If I don't convert Item(0) of the arraylist to a string then it also gives me an error when I try to read it. As a string it comes up as System.Object. Even though I can use the my.settings.Words ArrayList with an object in the first index, how can I get the setting to start off blank without having to constantly avoid the first index?
View 10 RepliesI have been tempted to use List(Of T) in VB.NET instead of ArrayLists by someone-who-must-not-be-named-Robinson.Essentially, what I need to store are three things: One string, two integers, and maybe two booleans. I liked using ArrayList, because it treated all its elements as "Objects" so I didn't really have problems storing that variety of elements.But now I have been thinking on using List(Of T). But how do I do to store that variety of elements of mine? I have been thinking on making a Structure holding the five elements.Sounds like a good idea? I heard somewhere that Structures are expected to have a short life. But I fear I will be having my structures for... forever, as long as my app lives. That makes any difference? Finally, what if I needed to create... dunno...... 125000000 Lists, each containing a structure? Is that possible (and good)?

I have three arraylists (datasets and subsets) that I need to combine into one arrraylist so I can databind it to a repeater control and then present data to the user. As far as I know, you can only bind the repeater with one datasource (please correct me if this is wrong) that's why I'm combining these arraylists.Each arraylist has an ID from the database which I can use as a datakey to keep the data aligned. How do I combine these lists?

Background: I'm writing a application that will allow users to enters items on a form using textboxes, radio buttons and checkboxes. I then take each input item and write it to it's own arraylist. After the user is all done entering data the information in the arraylists will write out to a single .txt file.

View 16 RepliesTo detect 'death of player' I am using the mouseleave event of my picturebox background (background1). Unfortunately this triggers both when the mouse enters an 'evil' and the 'points' and ends the game without the player being able to collect points.
The obvious way to solve this would be to swap detection to entering evils.
Unfortunately I am dynamically creating my 'evils' and do not know how to also dynamically create subs to deal with MouseEnter. Here is my code for generating the 'evils'

I'm struggling with an event related to my communications class.I'm calling a 'DataChange' function via event handler any time I receive new data over my serial connection. I then proceed to load that data into a DataGridView, perform some formatting, etc for the users. I'm getting a ton of problems due to the frequency at which the DataChange event is called and seems to steal the focus out of othert subroutines and functions mid-process.For example, I'll attempt to transmit data back to the serial device. After I format the data, but before I can actually call the Send function from my library the focus is directed back to DataChange and I never actually transmit my data.
Is this a problem best addressed by threading the DataChange related routines, unhooking the DataChange event before a function or routine then rehooking, or is there some basic principle I'm not implementing.
The Visual developer express outline provides hide/plus-minus signs throughout the HTML code, and it does this for Class's, but not for my subroutines in an ASPX file.Is there a way for it to do this, so I can reduce subroutines I'm not working on at the moment? I know I can highlight areas and hide, but it's kind of clunky to do quickly through many subroutines if I have 2k lines and a hundred subroutines.

have been writing code to replace an old Fortran program. The Fortran program had very organized subroutines which could be called from anywhere in the project. Most of these were relatively small and left a small, easily followed main routine. I'm converting over to VB.net and when I write the subroutines they are all on the same form. Wading through 50-100 subroutines on one form is going to be messy.

View 1 RepliesI find myself calling functions from lambdas frequently as the provided delegate does not match or does not have sufficient parameters. It is irritating that I cannot do lambda on subroutines. Each time I want to do this I have to wrap my subroutine in a function which returns nothing. Not pretty, but it works.
Is there another way of doing this that makes this smoother/prettier? I have read that this whole lambda inadequacy will probably be fixed in VS2010/VB10 so my question is more out of curiosity.
