I have been trying to use a bit array as a dictionary key and even though I know each bitarray value is different the program fails with a duplicate key message when a try to add the second record to the dictionary. Is there any way I can make this work?

How to avoid for loop (Dictionary Array) using LINQ
View 1 RepliesI have the following code, where I am trying to use returned JSON data, deserialize it, and return 1 part of that data back to the user.

I don't understand how to deserialize into the Item class, then how to get the data back out.
I am trying to deserialize a JSON string that looks like so: {'type':'clientlist','client_list':[]} I am using JavaScriptSerializer() to do it. For some reason the JavaScriptSerializer() is choking on the member 'client_list'. It doesn't give very good info. The error it gives is:

I need small code for array/dictionary to pullout data conditionally.i have data:
oid----opriority----task
10--------3-------Task1
5--------1--------Task2
1--------6--------Task3
i need to build one array/dictionary to store the data in this format then i can pull the value like.
select oid where task = task1 order by opriority
It is easy for me do in database table, This is run time and i need to work in RAM. how i can build the array and pull the data accordingly.
I want to group items from a linq query under a header, so that for each header I have a list of objects that match the header title. I assumed the solution would be to use ToDictionary to convert the objects, but this allows only one object per "group" (or dictionary key). I assumed I could create the dictionary of type (String, List Of()), but I can't figure out how to write it. As an example I have written a simplified version below.

I have created a class with a function in it. I have a collection of data I want to pass back. I tried an arraylist first. Now I am trying to use a dictionary. My problem is that it creates the dictionary ok, but I am only get the last row of data from my

I have the following object:
countDictionary As Dictionary(of Category, Dictionary(of Date, Integer))
The Class has a Enumeration Property. For the purposes of demonstration, I'll call it MasterCategory.I have been trying to get out an object that looks like the following:
groupedCountDictionary As Dictionary(of MasterCategory, Dictionary(of Date, Integer)
The best result I could get was:
Lookup(of MasterCategory, Dictionary(of Date, Integer))
From:
countDictionary.ToLookup(Function(o) o.Key.MasterCategory, Function(o) o.Value)
Which results in a IEnumerable (Of Dictionary(of Date, Integer)) for each MasterCategory value.However, I need that IEnumerable of Dictionary flattened to one dictionary with all the integers summed (total counts) for each date. I then tried to use various selects and group bys (from numerous stackoverflow posts) to "flatten" it, but my efforts have fallen short.
Current Code
[Category Class]
- MasterCategory As Enum
- Name As String etc

I have created a Dictionary class (MyDictionary for the example). I am currently trying to pass MyDictionary into a function, filter it into a new instance of MyDictionary and pass this new instance into another method. When I am attempting to create the second instance from the filtered first instance of MyDictionary via Lambda Expressions and the ToDictionary Method, I am getting the following error:
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.Int32,System.String]' to type 'MyDictionary'. I have simplified the example and recreated it in LINQPad and am getting the same error.
Here's the simplified version of my code:

View 3 RepliesI have a dictionary of key=string and value=datatable. I use a key to retrieve a datatable and assign that datatable to a new variable. Then I make some updates to the variable. However, I find that the dictionary itself is being updated even though I'm only updating the variable. This causes significant issues when I try to reference the dictionary later. How can I set up my dictionary so that it won't update when I use a value?
dim dt1 as datatable
dt1=dictionary(key)
For row=0 to dt1.rows.count
dt1.Rows(row)(4)=dt1.rows(row)(4)/2
Next row
'at this point, when I look up dictionary(key), the value I get shows all of the original values divided by 2.

[code] For example, if the word was "cat" it would return true. If the word was "jlakfh", then it word return false. To do this i need some kind of dictionary array or something. How do I do this? If it helps, I only needs words with less than 7 letters in them, and more than 2 letters in them. Also, I don't need the definitions of the words. I only need the words themselves in the arary. Do I need to manually input all the words into an array or is there already a dictionary control or something that I could use?
View 3 RepliesI've got a nested dict like:
Public collectionMain As New Dictionary(Of String, Dictionary(Of String, String))
When inserting a new item:
collectionMain.Add(node.SelectSingleNode("key").InnerText.Trim, collectionSub)
collectionSub.Clear()
On the add my collectionSub is filled with key & values. But when calling clear, the collectionMain.value is empty.
How can i keep the collectionMain dictionary value?
The collectionSub needs to be cleared, it's in a loop for filling.

View 6 Repliesi was searching for a simple solution that i can use in sorting a dictionary by value, and i was not content with what i found, so i made up these two functions for sorting a dictionary ascending and descending. I do not assume that they are perfect, so improvements are welcomed. They are written in VB.Net and use an intermediary dictionary.

I have a series of "keys" and associated "descriptors". I have them set up in a VB dictionary to use the keys to select the descriptor for output (the descriptor is the English translation of the hexadecimal key; both are dictionaried as strings).I have looked at the help files and all they do is "for each" statements to retrieve the entire key list or the entire descriptor list. What I need to be able to do is take a key, determined early in the program, and use the dictionary to look up what the English equivalent is. I don't need to retrieve ALL the keys or ALL the descriptors.VB6 made this easy.I'm having trouble doing the same thing in VB 2008.I can provide a sample of the code I have been working with after I get access to that computer.

What I would like to do is make an abstract class that will hold objects in a dictionary and manage the adding/deleting/key changes of those items in the dictionary. My problem is that in order to make the class as generic as possible I declared the dictionary as dictionary(of long, of SomeInterface).The problem is when I try to pass a strongly typed dictionary in the constructor using dictionary( of long, ClassThatImplementsSomeInterface) I get a compiler error because it cannot convert to that type.
The reason I want to pass the dictionary in the abstract class's constructor is so that I can use the strongly typed dictionary in the subclass and have the abstract class manage the keys when it needs to. So how can I do something like this? Also- If there is a much better way to manage keys than what I am doing feel free to let me know, but I am much more interested in how to make this work since I have encountered this type of problem a few times before.
Here's the abstract class:
Public MustInherit Class HasChildrenKeys
Protected m_childItems As Dictionary(Of Long, IHasKey)

Is there any sort of API for google dictionary or dictionary.com (note: i have tried the google API but that does not support dictionary!!!) or some way to download the information from those sites? i will be using this in a bigger program (a very basic chatbot) so the definition has to be able to easily be output to a string or textbox!!!
note: i have asked mr.google many a time but all the responses are not what i want! and i dont want to have to manually write my OWN dictionary (i.e. writing in each specific word and definition)
