I need to know if there is any simple way to sort an array in visual Basic.net. I have been trying for some time without any real reliable results or wierd results. Here is the code this is the sort routine which transfers a csv text file read earlier into an array.
Private Sub btnSort_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSort.Click
Dim i As Integer = 2 'inner loop
Dim j As Integer 'outer loop
Dim tempstore As String = String.Empty
ProgressSort.Minimum = 0
[Code]...
The data seems to be read into the array but the sorting takes a very long time and I am not sure if it is working or not. I have read from other forums that it is easier to sort the array read from csv before splitting it. This record I am trying to sort is 250 records long. I have no idea how long that should take. Not even sure if the algorithm I chose is correct.
I have been assigned a program for homework in which I need to take in information about songs from a text file and then be able to sort the list alphabetically, by genre and by length. I also need to be able to filter it by genre. The user can then move songs they choose from the master list to a playlist where again the list can be sorted by either genre or play order.My book only covered sorting array when they are one dimensional however I need to be able to sort a multidimensional array by different columns. I asked my teacher but she had so much going on that we didn't really have time to get into it, so I decided to ask here.
I'm not looking for code, just to get pointed in the right direction. For instance rather than using a multidimensional array would it be better to pull the values in and then put them into an array of song objects with properties for each value? And if I choose to go that route is an array the best structure to use? I have to use an array of some type, but the problem says nothing about whether or not it can be a list or other array type structure.
Basically the assignment says:Create an array that accepts user input. When the user inputs -1, stop the entering process.Check user input to circumvent bad numbers (numbers less than -1)Make two copies of the array (making sure the two new arrays are only as big as the amount of numbers the user input, might need a counter)Sort the first copy using any algorithmSort the second copy using standard array.sort method.Display all three arrays in a form.I have this so far, and I'm stumped as to where to go next.

In Visual Basic 2005 is it possible to parallel sort three or maybe four arrays? I have a function that is trying to accomplish this but it only parallel sorts the second array with the Array that it is being sorted with. Here is the code
Sub ParallelListBoxSort(ByVal byList As ListBox, ByVal otherLists() As ListBox) Dim ii As Integer = 0 Dim a As Integer = otherLists.Length

'listToArray' is just a function that converts a list to an 1-Dimensional array and 'setArrayToListCollection' just puts the array back into the appropriated list.
I would like to have a form application that I can drag n drop the words with their numbers into a Textbox1.text and have the Textbox1.text do the sorting.
I am very confuse over a Raise Events example and using delegate as a function pointer: I am clear with this function pointer example program below which creates a generic sort function for sorting integer arrays without changing the main sort function. ' Returns True if need to swap Delegate Function CompareFunc(ByVal x As Integer, _ ByVal y As Integer) _ As Boolean
Here are two alternative target methods for the delegate - one for an ascending sort and one for a descending sort: Function SortAscending(ByVal x As Integer, ByVal y As Integer) As Boolean If y < x Then SortAscending = True End If End Function Function SortDescending(ByVal x As Integer, _ ByVal y As Integer) As Boolean [Code] .....
I created a sorter that StrCmpLogicalW / shlwapi.dll. unfortunately it causes errors on partial trust environments. I am in a really bad need of a solution that does not use 'shlwapi.dll' or StrCmpLogicalW and works in the same fashion.
Here's the sorter that causes the error.

Basicly I have a program that retrieves data and parses it, which is fine, so it starts from:11:981.8 which equals to November 981.8 now what I have done is split the "November" and the "981.8" into 2 different arrays, with other similar data, now what I need to be able to do, is sort the array in either Ascending or Descending order, however keeping in tact, the November and 981.8 side by side in a list box.
My current code is:
Private Sub sortData(ByVal strYear As String, ByVal strSort As String) lbDispData.Items.Clear() Dim strData As String = My.Settings.usage2011 Dim arrRawData() As String
[Code]...
EDIT: Just to mention, there are many more values, not just November and 981.8, there would be for example December and 128.1, January and 191.1, etc.
I'm having my program sort an excel sheet by a few columns. However, it is only sorting by the first column not the rest that I specify.ere is my sort code below:
I have a WPF ObservableCollection which is bound to a ListBox and I have a Sort() method which when called will convert the ObservableCollection to a List(Of T), and undertakes a sort based on a date/time column within the collection.
The data is sorted, even when new items are added to the ObservableCollection, however the date/time isn't being correctly sorted. The data is sorting based on the date however it is very much random when it comes to the time portion. The following is an example of the outcomes I am experiencing:
[Code]...
Is there anything that I am doing incorrectly in this method that would cause the time portion not be included in the sort? Is there a better way of doing a sort?
In VB6 I load a recordset containg all of the records (6 fields per record)in a table into an XArray and then manipulate the records in the array and then write them back to the original table. The array issorted by the first field (1 to maybe 8000 or more) I need to find records in the array by an ID field and then move them (because of some external criteria that happens many times) from say number 400 to number 375. Then all of the other records between 375 and 399 were renumbered up 1 to fill the gaps left by the move.
The XArray worked well as it could find and also move to a next record easily to facilitate the revisions to each record quickly. Everything is done in VB6 in code and nothing visual needs to be shown to the user until say 2000 of these external changes are complete. What is the best, most efficient way to do this in the .Net framework in VB2010. Datasets, Dataviews. tableadapters, arrays. enums ?
My assignment is to have a user enter in big integers using what i think is two parallel arrays. I got this far but now im stuck. I think i need to actually convert the text box input into an array but i do not know how to do that. I am all over the place in this project.

I have a VB.net console app and I am opening a function in a dll written in fortran. I am passing 3 arrays through the function by reference. When they come back out the otherside they ahve all tunred to arrays of only one element And that element is 0.I read on the internet somewhere that when doing this kind of thing it is a good idea to only pass the first element of the array into the function.I tried changing my function declaration to accepting single elements rather than single dimensional arrays, and now the arrays are the same length before and after the function call, but they don't seem to be changing at all, so i'm not sure that this is working
the statement Dim state(49) As String and maintain a list of certain states. The list of states should always be in alphabetical order and occupy consecutive elements of the array. The buttons in the program should give the user the following options: (a) Take the state specified by the user in a text box and insert it into its proper position in the array. If the state is already in the array, so report. (b) Take the state specified by the user in a text box and delete it from the array. If the state is not in the array, so report. (c) Display the states in the array. "

I was wondering if anyone knows a built in method ( LINQ say or a LAMBDA expression or other way ) that you can compare2 arrays - collections that would be valid for an equivalent 3rd array - collection which is a combination of the 1st two.
Below you will find a code sample that I have dummied up to try and demonstrate the issue I am having. However, this is just a dummied up piece of code. The actual program has noting to do with STUDENTS or TEACHERS. Basically, the problem I'm having is trying to have a CLASS within another CLASS each of which contain ARRAYS that need to be dynamic in size. The sample has a CLASS called STUDENTS that can have in theory many students, the number of which are unknown to the CLASS. I need to be able to add STUDENTS to the ARRAY programmatically.
The CLASSROOM Class should also be an Array since each TEACHER will have MANY Students. There will be only 1 Teacher for a given classroom but the SCHOOL will have MANY CLASSROOMS. Again, I need to programmatically add Teachers and Students without having predefined Array sizes. The code I have listed below will NOT work but it demonstrates what I am trying to achieve. I want to be able to reference the CLASS by using something like this ...
I feel like I should be able to use ARRAYLIST in both classes but haven't been able to get it to work. I've tried DIM'ing as ARRAY and can't get that to work either.If I can get ARRAYLIST to work then I shouldn't need to worry about expanding the array via UBOUND (if it's even possible).The REAL question is "How do I have a CLASS within a CLASS, each of which has ARRAYS that need to be dynamic in nature so they can be expanded as needed? The size of the array cannot be determined ahead of time".
REMEMBER . . . the actual program has nothing to do with Students and Teachers. This was just my way of demonstrating the issue using an analogy that I thought everyone could understand. The actual Class is much more involved.I have purposely hardcoded some values just to make the sample easier to work with. This is NOT how I normally program but is just here to hopefully make things a little more clear.
Here is the sample code . . . '*********************************************************************************** '*********************************************************************************** '***********************************************************************************

i have a string that looks like this "apples,fish,oranges,bananas,fish" i want to be able to sort this list and get only the uniques. how do i do it in vb.net? please provide code
I have a the need for key value pair that I wish to sort so I decided to use a SortedList instead of a HashTable.I am adding the data in the order below to my SortedList which is the order I need it in
The key is a string and the value is a List of objects. The key is representing a time slot that has been concatenated from two integer values and delimited by "-". "700" as a string was 0700 initially an integer.e.g.
Dim key As String = slotTimeStart.ToString() & "-" & slotTimeEnd.ToString()
But once these key value pairs are added to the SortedList they appear in the order
Unfortunately I recieve the times slots as two integer values which cannot be changed.Is there any way to force a sort on a SortedList? or is this problem because of the way I am storing my key? Is there a better way to store it?
I have a VB.Net 2005 application in which I access a SQL Server DB to pull data into a Dataset. Within my app, this dataset is read sequentially. Then, a cross reference file is read against the dataset record. If there is a match (based on 2 fields from the dataset record), a field value from the cross reference file is used to replace a certain value in the dataset record. Once a dataset record has been read and processed...it is written to a new CSV file. This CSV file contains 5 columns.
I've been requested to now sort this new CSV file using 3 of the 5 columns as the "Sort Key". What would be the fastest way to do this?
I know one way would be to create a new dataset and insert the finished record into this new dataset in the order of the 3 fields (which I'm not sure how to setup).
I have a problem with sorting in datagridview. I load an xml file in a datagridview and I sort the collums for check. when I try to sort it according to it's number the sorting goes like this:
I have two columns in a datagridview, one is a year and the other is a month. These two form a date, but unfortunately the structure in the database I'm forced to use is that of two integers. I need to sort the rows by date, using these two integers. I tried creating an unbound column with a date, but sorting this way seem quite difficult. So, I thought I could do a multicolum sorting by year first and then by month using two columns

I've written the following class to create CheckedListboxes that use a Natural Sort algorithm. The overridden Sort() method, however, is not getting fired.(The code within that method is from the MSDN example on how to implement your own sort algorithm on a regular Listbox.)
[Code]...
A CheckedListbox derives from a Listbox, so I figured the Sort() override would work, but I'm stuck as to why it doesn't.I am setting the instance's .Sorted = True, but it's just sorting items using the default algorithm, and not the Natural Sort algorithm (which has been tested and shown to work as expected elsewhere).
