Shuffling Items Inside A Movie List / Need To Delete Half List
May 16, 2011
Another program I am working on for fun, I am basically shuffling a list inside a listbox, what I want to do is delete the rest but not sure how to go through with that. At the moment I have this: [code] Just contains the code, declarations outside weren't included.So anyway, once clicked, it will call on the function to basically shuffle in a for loop, I was wondering if I should (or how should) create another function and call it in the click button or have just a loop in the click button so it deletes half the list. What I am doing is I have 20 list of items, I want the program to shuffle the items and then deleting the lower 10, meaning, if I had 10 items and wanted 5 top, I'd want: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and deleting 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
I have a question about comparing values inside of a List. I have a single list of strings. Inside the list are multiple values. The values are arranged so they can be dumped into a spreadsheet.
Example: Private ListOfStrings As New List(Of String) ValueA(0), ValueB(1), ValueC(2) 'These three values are the same as the three values in the 4th "row" below ValueD(3), ValueE(4), ValueF(5) ValueG(6), ValueH(7), ValueI(8)
ValueA(9), ValueB(10), ValueC(11) 'These three values are the same as the three values in the 1st "row" above. Since this is a duplicate, I need to add a "count" of value 2 and then delete the values of this row from the List. Etc...
Each line above represents a "row" in a spreadsheet. All three values in each "row" have the potential to be the same. So, I need a way to A) Compare and count all of the common "rows" (using only the first value from each row) and B) If common "rows" occur, I need to delete all but one row from the List. ListOfStrings.Remove ?
In my project, I want to use Coordinates of a place (eg; London) which is selected from a list of several thousands of coordinates of places.
I thought of using comboBox / ListBox to display the list of the coordinates of places.
I want to know how to make this "editable"; ie: anyone using this program should be able to Edit / Add / Delete a coordinates of a place. And the newly added Place should be saved so that he/she can use it whenever it is needed.
I'm looping all the properties in an object via reflection:
For Each p As PropertyInfo In values.[GetType]().GetProperties() If p.CanRead Then 'Do stuff End If Next
how to determine whether the property in question is a generic List(Of T)? If it is I need to loop the list itself.
I've experimented with GetType and TypeOf but have not managed to get anything working.
To clarify, I want to keep this generic. I do not want to specify the type of T, I need to loop the list items and call the ToString method on each item. T could be one of a number of different types (application specific reference types). Is it possible to do this without specifying types?
This program is supposed to allow the user to check items in a checked list box. If the item is checked, it goes into the Completed List Box on the right. The program then adds the unchecked items to the Pending list box on the left. I keep getting placement values (e.g. O,1,2) instead of the strings (e.g. "Key Returned") in the list box results (see photo attached)
Public Class frmCheckOut Dim i As Integer Dim cleaning As String = "Cleaning Inspection" Dim damage As String = "Damage Repaired"
I am attempting to read the results from a SQL query into a List(Of) and I can see the List.count while adding items to the List increments, however in another part of my code when I am attempting to read the List the List.Count returns 0. My List is as follows:
I have an error panel that is subbed in to a page if an error goes wrong to gracefully handle and display errors.Currently, I am just appending the error messages to a string and pushing that to a label. If you have multiple errors, this gets messy.I'd like to push each error to a list item in a bulleted, unordered list.How can I dynamically generate, from a vb codebehind file, new list items inside of an undordered list element?
I have two generic lists, named ListA and ListB. Both ListA and ListB could potentially have duplicate items. What I would like to do is use LINQ to grab the items in ListB that are not in ListA, but I'm unsure how to do so.
i want to search item A (from a list of X items) in list B but i want to get the item not found example Search ITEM A in LIST B if not found then return a print....if found continue with ITEM B..and so on.
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 have a List(Of MyObj), and I want to iterate through that list and compare each element to all other elements in the same list, excluding (if possible) the same element. I have a solution that works, but it's slow and uses double For loops. It may possibly have also summoned Cthulhu from his sleep. This below is a sanitized version of what I have:
Dim MyList As New List(Of MyObj)({Obj1, Obj2, Obj3, Obj4, Obj5, Obj6}) If MyList.Count > 0 Then For i = 0 To (MyList.Count - 1) Step 1
I want to know how to test the 1st list box if it has items more than the other list box but by one item, here is what i have: If lstInvisibleTv. Items.Count > lstInvisiblePc.Items.Count Then it works good if the lstInvisibleTv list box is greater than the other list box by one but it also works if it is greater the other one by one or more which I do not want. I want it to work just by one.
I have a program that will compare an array of grocery list items glist and an array of coupon item clist.When I compare the two and if there is a match somewhere in the array I want to have a picturebox visible.When there is no match, I want the picture box not to be visible. [code] The code seems to work great until I come to the else statement.When the code finds a match it displays the picture box and the msgbox without error, but as soon as the message box is cleared, even though i've input it as an ELSE statement, the picturebox goes false again.Does anyone have any idea of how I can "hold" the picturebox to stay visible while the match between the arrays exists?
i am writing a program that reads a excel report from accounting software with our weeks orders on... so basically the program reads a list of around 100 items which all works fine.I also have a database that holds info on each item, when the excel sheet is parsed the software checks to see if any new items have been added to the list that are not on the softwares database. this is where i am having the issue.I have two lists: ItemsOrdered & ExistsingItems.
All the items ordered this week are in ItemsOrdered and all the items not in the items in the database are in the ExistsingItems list. using these two lists how can i find items that are in ItemsOrdered but not in ExistsingItems.
Title says it all. How can you obtain a list of files (as a stringcollection or some other storage method) which contains the full path on the user's computer to the files?
I am having a hard time trying to pass the values from a list inside of a class. I am trying to display multiple lines of values from a list inside of a class. My "client" class stores multiple lines of values into a list(of class transaction), with the number value (num) counting each transaction that it adds to the list.
Ex: Public Class Client Private m_tranlist As New List(Of transaction) If CInt(tid) = m_ID Then 'create client tran, add to list nextTran = New transaction(m_ID, tcode, tdate, ttype, tshares, tprice, value, num) m_tranlist.Add(nextTran) num += 1 End If
Now I am trying to display each line that is stored in the list in a label, and I am having major trouble. How do I call the list in my main form in order to display all of the values?
I've been working on a program lately. On the form load it loads a list box with a list of names from a .txt file. It's a sign in form, so when people click their name then the button it will write to a .txt file their arrival time, and the folder is their name. I can make it do it one at a time, but that's so inconvenient. I have the list box set so it accepts multiple selections, but I need to make it write the time for everyone.
how to delete the selected name from the list that would be extremely helpful, that way the person isn't signed in multiple times.
I have a button inside a one of my forms which contain a lot of coding and normally a lot of variables declaration.
Is there is a option/add-on that I can use/set that enable me to display all the variable used inside the sub or function I am currently working in?
All I can find is add-on to display the Properties/Methods and only Public variables inside the form or inside the class. but I need to list the local variables also.
i am new to vb. i have created a program which has work areas/image areas. i can create as many as i like and i have created a code to delete a work area. but i cant delete more than one and i cant find out how to fix the problem i will post my code so you can see what i have out so far,
I am trying to generate a script which handles more than 1 file from FTP. For example I have 4 files on the FTP and I need to have them saved locally and after that to delete them from FTP. I was trying and example for list and get but it is not working correctly.
Here is what I have: Public Function GetFileAndFileList(ByVal StartsWith As String, ByVal EndsWith As String) As List(Of String) Dim oFTP As FtpWebRequest = CType(FtpWebRequest.Create("ftp://testftp.host-ed.net/customer"), FtpWebRequest) oFTP.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("xxx", "yyy") oFTP.KeepAlive = False [Code] .....
I have 4 files; it is working OK for 3 of them but the application crashes on the last one.
I have a MyList (List Of Longs) in which I need the check a specific relation between any two members of that list, if the relation-check returns true I need to delete checked member.I was used to do something like that with 2 For Next Loops, is there a better way. Would it even work that way with Lists?What is happening when an Item is removed from the List that has not been called by the outer For-Next yet? [code]
have an ArrayList of arrays and I am having issues iterating through it to delete cetain entries.I want to go through the entire ArrayList and check if the array at index 0 equals "". If it does, then put that into another array.heres the exception i get

I have a list (of lines) and i'm looping through them and identifying certain ones as edges; I would somehow like to tag these lines so that when i loop through the list again later, I know which ones i tagged. I hope i'm explaining this ok. if not, let me know. What's the best way to deal w/ this type situation?
url...I've got a drop down inside an update panel, and I am trying to get it to allow the person using the page to add users to a list that is bound to a gridview. The list is a global variable, and on page_load I set that to the gridview's datasource and databind it. However, anytime I click the 'add a user' button, or the button to remove the user from the list. It appears like it is doing a full post back even though all these elements are inside the update Panel.[code]Now I thought the point of an update panel was to be able to update things inside of it without doing a full post_back and reloading the page. So if that's the case, why is it calling page_load everytime I click the buttons? I ran this code and debug and I see that even before any of the code associated with button press fires, page_load runs again.I tried putting the gvAssociatedUser.Datasource = associatedFaculty and the line below inside the Page.IsPostBack check, that prevented the page from working. I tried every combination of settings of the update panel for ChildrenAsTriggers and UpdateMode, and none of them worked.
I've tried won't get it to work.It wasn't causing a full postback so I was wrong as to the cause. I thought the page was doing a full post back thus resetting my associatedFaculty list global variable, but it isn't doing a full postback.The issue I am having is everytime I click btnAddUser it will add one element to the associatedFaculty list and thus bound to gvAssociatedusers. This works the first time, but the second time I click it, it overwrites the first element. So it appears like my associated Faculty list is getting reset each time I click the button?
I need to get a list of distinct names inside the data table and the sum of values for each one. I know some basic stuff about linq, but i don't know how to put the distinct and the sums together.
I have a list box which displayed the var_field from the database. when the user select a data from the list box and press delete the data should be delted fromt he l;ist box and the row from the database. Im using the following code. but it shows some error called "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
Private Sub Deletebutton_Fielddetails_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Deletebutton_Fielddetails.Click Dim form As New Fielddetails()
