Searching A List Box And Returning Matches To Another List Box?
Feb 24, 2011
I have a school project i am working on wich i am to build a program that randomly generates 500 alpha-numeric numbers (license plate numbers). the program needs to be able to search the 500 numbers and based on given criteria (a text box) that you put in return the matching results to another listbox. I got the 500 plate numbers to generate on form load but have been searching thru my textbook and cant seem to figure out how to take the imput from the text box and search the list box. Not asking for a ton of help but just a point in the right direction. i attached the assignment i was given from instructor.

That was probably bad title, but I'll illustrate what I'm trying to do. I have a method in a class that I need to call several times. The method returns a List(Of String). I'm just grabbing some information from a database.
VB.NET
Public Function GetTestList() As List(Of String)
Dim int As Integer = 0

I'm working on a small game that is based on a map of grid squares.I have a class (clsGrid) that stores a few properties for each grid square.The grid square objects are organized into a list(of clsGrid).A loop and stream reader are successfully reading properties from a text file, putting the properties into grid objects, and adding the grid objects to a my list of grids. When retrieving a grid from the list of grids, I'm getting unusual results. Regardless of the index I give the list, I always seem to get the last indexed grid in the list.The debugger seems to suggest that the right numbers are being read into the stream reader and they are being added to gridHolder. However, the message box at the end will always show me the LAST grid.id, regardless of the index I give it.

I have been reading extensively about searching generic lists in VB.NET with the usage of delegates.However, I still cannot seem to grasp how to achieve what I want to, which I believe is frustratingly simple! I have a list populated with instances of an object with three parameters (fields/ variables).When I receive a new object to add to the list I want to search the list for the "layer" field.If the field matches then I will replace that row (object) in the list with the new object, if no match is found then I will add it to the list.

My problem is probably something simple..I am trying to load a list of a perticularcustomer.I will have to load the list of all the purchases they have make (amount of tickets purchased (rseat). It runs fine, but when I change the file name from fri to saturday and keep the call name the same it still searches to the name that is in the call name textbox. I dont want it to do that. I want it to say the there are no reservation for that name if I change the file.here is part of my code.
Private Sub btnSearch_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSearch.Click
'resets file reader and put to the top of txtfilename

I want to use a System.Collections.Generic.List<Of T> and store custom objects in the list. I then want to filter the list by my own custom defined criteria and return a System.Collections.Generic.List<Of T> of all the objects in the list matching my search criteria. For searching in Java, you would create an object that implements the comparator interface. The object would then be passed as an argument to the list's sort method. Is there an equivalent VB way to do this BUT when searching for items in the list?I have looked at using delegate functions, but these pass EVERY item of the collection into the function, which is not efficient in any way.

Any best approach to what I'm trying to achieve (linq to sql, returning list of data to show in a grid/list etc etc)... Its complaining about anonymous type conversion, and from what I'm reading, thats not elegant way of doing it.
Public Function GetHistory(ByVal historyId As Integer) As List(Of ?????????)
Using dc As New myDataContext(Application.GetConnection)
Return (From t In dc.ActionTypes, a In t.MyTable Where a.HistoryID = historyId Select a.ActionOn, a.ActionBy, t.Description, a.ImpactedItem, a.ActionDescription).ToList
End Using
End Function

I want a form to search a directory (which i specify in the code) and then list all files with a file exstension that is .amxx .And that's not all, it should list them in a checked listbox.And of course a little + is that it only list the name of the file, not the hole directory + filename. But that feuture i don't really need, just for good looking.I looked into the problem and i tried something with DirectorySearcher but with no success.

It seems simple enough, but apparently I cant figure it out. Theres more to my actual problem, but once I figure out this concept then I can do the rest. I want to search a list for a given string, and if it matches, then print it out. If it doesnt match, then it moves to the next item in the list. If if doesnt find any matches, it says "no matches found".

Okay so i have a very large list of string (500 000 strings) i want to check the number of duplicate strings and maybe even isolate the duplicate strings if i can.
i cant find a fast method to do so :S
i tried using a string array (slower than list) takes ~15mins
i tried using list with the code below takes ~10 mins
that wont cut it :S i need something faster.

Is there an easy way to search through a List(Of Integer) and find duplicates? Or do I need to do loops to search through it with each number, comparing it to each one?

I am trying to call an external C++ function using VB.NET (answers in C# are fine, I can convert back) which returns a list of device names. This comes in the form of a pointer to a null-terminated array of null-terminated char arrays (correct me if I've misunderstood what I'm dealing with) with a function signature:
long GetNames(char*** names)
Most of the answers to similar questions I've found have involved something more like:
long GetNames(char** names, int length)
It appears from what I've read that I need to give it an IntPtr but I'm uncertain as to how this should be initialized, and in my case I don't know the length of the array. At the moment, in the VB module, I have:
<DllImport("MyExternal.dll", CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.Cdecl)> _
Function GetNames(ByRef names as IntPtr) As UInteger
End Function
I've tried calling the function by passing an IntPtr initialized as IntPtr.Zero or using Marshall.AllocHGlobal, but I always get an AccessViolationException.
Any ideas on how I should be calling this function and how I get the return value into a managed string array would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I've found a sample function call in native C as follows:
char **tmplist;
GetNames(&tmplist)

By the way what i want to achieve is how to get the data as a List(Of String),because if i put the getMenu function into the presentation layer directly,it gives me the data as i expected..Also if i return as a string instead of List(Of String),it gives me the single data.

I have a problem finding strings that do not exist in a column in a database. I am going to use linq but its more the 'way' of doing I am concerned with.
I have strings like;
MEAL
GPST
EXLEG
EXLG ...etc
I need to find records that does not have this list of strings in, so for example DBML BUT sometimes I can have the string MEALDBML, or more concatenated. So this is a known string of MEAL and unknown string of DBML. I would then want to see that record. I do not know the unknown strings up front, so its a case of feeding in the strings I know are ok, and finding one that are outside that list. I was also thinking of regex?

I have a problem which I have tried to solve in several ways, and by searching the Internet for various terms, searching through books and Visual Basic instructional videos, but none have yielded the correct results. My goal is as follows:
1. Create a Database listing job names, job numbers, and a link to the file about the job.
2. Create a form with 2 text boxes, a search button, a box to display results, and a preview panel.
The two above steps have been completed. The following is where I get stuck
3. I want to search for either the job name, and/or the job number, have VB search through the database and return the results in the results box.
4. On clicking on one of the results in the result box, the preview panel will show a preview of the file.
Notes:
i) The files being linked top are Microsoft Excel files.
ii) The box I have used for the results currently is a listbox, though I've no idea if this is the correct choice for what I want to do.
iii) The database I created is an *.xml database created in Visual Basic. I am a fair beginner to VB, learning as I go, but I'm stumped as to how to achieve this so any pointers on how to achieve points 3 or 4
