Search An Array Of Structs Using A String As An Index?
Apr 1, 2009
I have been searching for a while now, but I still can't seem to figure this out. I wrote a rather large program, and to make things more efficient I started to create structs to store more info in a variable.All was well replacing my old code with new code, till I reached a certain point and found that blindly using a loop of integers to access the indexes of the array wouldn't work anymore... I need to access a specific struct by the information contained in a single variable within the struct (like a hashtable key), but can't seem to figure out how.
Is it possible for me to go through my array indexes in a fashion like this?:
Dim myArray(TableCount) As myStruct
Dim TableName As String = "SomeTable"
As noted in my comment to Jon Skeet, this construct, along with the rest of the Object's components, executes 100,000 times in a profiling loop in ~570ms (rough average of 3-5 runs).
Exchanging the above construct out with a smaller Array.IndexOf construct loops 100,000 times in ~630ms (again, 3-5 runs, rough average, the whole Object). The new construct looks like this:
Dim p As Int32 p = Array.IndexOf(TestValues, s) If p <> tstNotSet Then
How on specific behaviour can be created in a custom class. I want to be able to create a custom class (a kind of list) where I can access the items by their index (this is the easy part), but also by a string that would describe them. Here is an example: MyClass(1).SomeProperty = "NewValue" MyClass("Item1").SomeProperty = "NewValue"
You can see this kind of behaviour in dataset for example where you can select a table by its name or by its index like this : DataSet.Tables("MyTable").Rows... DataSet.Tables(1).Rows... How can I create a custom class that will behave like this?
How to search and get position a string in a big file?I have searched in forum2 and get several ways to search for strings in files, but it is not for large files above 500 mb,I have just been make a function to search string and get its index,but it is very slow and uses lots of RAM.This is my function
Function StringInFile(ByRef fs As FileStream, ByRef substring As String, Optional ByVal occurence As Integer = 1,_ Optional ByVal start As Integer = 0, Optional ByVal count As Integer = -1) As Integer
i have an array contains a-z.Then i have a textbox and when click on the button, it will replace the text inside the textbox to the index number of the array.Example, from "abc" will become "0 1 2" The code below do the job.how to do so that i can replace the text inside the textbox from "0 1 2" back to "abc" based on the array?

I need assistance generating a xml file by reading values from an array of structs.
my struct looks like this: public structure myStruct dim ID as int dim myArray1 as boolean dim myArray2 as boolean dim myArray3 as boolean dim x as int dim y as int
I have several instances of these structs. I also have universal variables that are declared outside of the structs. I am looking to generate a xml file like this:
[Code]...
But how would I assign the values of each element by reading them in from the struct? Or do I need to use the XmlSerializer Class instead?
I have an assignment where I must read the information from a text file into an array of structs, so that when a part number is input, the correct price will be displayed.
the file is a text file named shoeinfo.txt
it looks like this: BZB34,40.99 BZJ25,54.50 JMM97,14.99
[Code].....
unfortunately I am unable to figure out how the code is to be read into the array. i.e. item(0).partnum = BZB34 item(0).price = 4099D
i have an array that contains a-z.When i enter text like "ab" into a textbox and click the button, it will search the array and replace the text accordingly to the index number of the array and rewrite into the textbox with the index number.
But what i got from the code below is "ab0 1".May i know how to do so that the textbox will only display the index number and not with the letters. Also, how do i search the array from index 12 onwards to the end of the array.
For Each b As String In TextBox2.Text If abc.Contains(b) Then Dim ab As Integer = Array.IndexOf(abc, b)
I would like to format output to a property of a custom control I have made.For instance I have a literal control in my control and when populated I want to check if it is longer than 30 characters long, if so, then go to the next space (as to not cut the word off) after the 30th character and place a <br /> tag in to place the next 30 characters on the next line.So if there were 100 characters in a string, there would be 3 line breaks in the label.I have the looping worked out to get the label populated but cannot get how to dymaically create the array based on the string lenth property and index of method.
I have a textbox which has about 120 lines of text but this can vary. I want to search for an array of words, like Boeing, Airbus, Saab etc there might be 3 options there might be 5 options in this array that i'm looking for. My question is how can I search the textbox and highlight all these words? Similar to (Control + F) in IE8. I've looked at InStr but am unsure if this is what I'm after as it does not seem to work for me.
I need to create a code that searches an array of movie titles. When the user enters a specific string, the first movie title that contains that string is displayed. For example, entering "he" would display Sherlock Holmes as opposed to the Blind Side. I don't know how to create a code that reads a string that the user enters.[code]...
Trying to input a high setpoint, low setpoint, a % load, and number of compressors, then calculate the temp that all compressors are off. Then build a datagridview with the staging of compressors from all off to all on for each compressor up to 10 compressors.I am trying to insert headers from 1 to 10 compressors (Variable) with the text "Comp1", "Comp2", etc....Two rows with header. I am trying to use an array with index number to insert the text, but that is where my problem happens."Index was out of range".Here is my code

I am trying to search the 4 columns of my array by using this click event. The column is determined by a radio button as you can see. I changed my code from last time and now it works, but only for the first column. If i try to search out a string in the second or third columns I get an error based on the line highlighted in blue HTML accutally shows and it is green. the error says Index was outside bounds of array
Like i said It works fine for all values in the first column, accually the second (Numbered 1). If i enter a value in the partsnumBox and it is found in the the 2nd 3rd and 4th columns I want the value in the first column (0) of the same row.

I am coding a program for a movie trivia game that randomly shows a movie quote and the the user selects a movie name from a combo box that matches. I used a array for the movie quotes and a comboBox for the movie names. I have coded a portion of the program but I am stuck on how to compare the array quote being shown to what movie the user selects from the comboBox. I have tried numerous different things but none seem to work right. The way I have it coded now it shows that every movie I pick that it is right even if it is wrong. I am going to show part of the code here and also attach the entire solution for anyone that needs it .
Per this UserControl that can be added to a blank form, I would like to use the HorizUnits array below to map custom grid x coordinate from a mouse x position.For a given input value 13, what syntax would I use to obtain a value of 2 where 13 lies between Value 10 and 16 for which 2 (Name) would be the custom grid's displayed coordinate position?
getting started with creating an index search for parallel arrays. When the user enters the specific "code", and presses enter, the information in the other arrays should be displayed based on its matching index. I'm pretty sure I use "For i = " but I'm lost. I have my arrays set up like this:
How do I use the Indexof Method to search for an Index a number? The number will be different on each line of the file. Each array has a name and a different zip code. I want to tell it to search for the first number in the line. Everything before that index will be first name, last name, and then zip code.
I have the following code: indexOfSearchText = TextBox1.Find(item, start, TextBox1.TextLength, RichTextBoxFinds.WholeWord) If indexOfSearchText <> -1 Then startindex = indexOfSearchText End If But I want just the first result, if I have an example text: then it searches twice "is", I just want the first "is".
I am trying to do a search on a index/row number taken from a dataview i.e. I enter 379437 in the input box which I know has a index/row number of 6. Now when I replace the Rows(index) with a Rows(6) I get the results that I want. When I run the code below the index comes out as 75 which displays the first row from the dataset which is a completely different set of results.
I need to create a telephone directory with search option(textbox). I use sql db as backend and vb.net for frontend. In this the user must search for a particular name using the textbox and the results have to be displayed in the gridview. how to do this?

only if it contains all of these words it should return the first instance (row3) then end or null the rest (row4).how can i get row 3 to show in message box now it has been found?
I have to search within an array and display the number of occurrences that a value within the array appears. I know that my code is incorrect but this is what I have so far. If anyone can point out what I am doing wrong that would be great.

I have a List(of String()). I have written a custom comparer (implements IComparer(of string)) to do an alphanumeric sort.Is there a way to sort the List using a given index to determine which position in the String() to sort by? In other words one time I might sort by Index = 0 and another time by Index = 3. The length of all String() in the list is the same.For reference this question is similar to Sort List<String[]> except I am using VB.net and that question is hardwired to Index=0.
EDIT from OP's comments:I started simple with the non custom comparer but I am getting an error: expression does not produce a value. Not sure what I am doing wrong.Here is the code:
Public Shared Function SortListOfStringArray(ByVal ListOfStringArray As List(Of String()), ByVal SortByIndex As Integer) As List(Of String()) Return ListOfStringArray.Sort(Function(x, y) x(SortByIndex).CompareTo(y(SortByIndex))) End Function
I'm really struggling with the following pinvoke call. I've tried numerous different ways of doing this but still no joy. The call runs through, but I get a 'Bad parameter' message back with suggests there is something wrong with the struct, since I've ran through a c++ example of this code and the parameters are all correct.
i am using vb.net and i would to send some structs to a C++ tcp server.The problem is the structs i am sending might contain other structs.[code]Lets say i want to send FirstStruct over to the C++ Server.
