Store Objects With Key In Some Sort Of Collection/Dictionary?
Jun 10, 2012
I need to Store Objects with Key like:
Key: <Fontname & FontSize> / Object: <Font Object>
Example content:
ArialRegular8 | <Corresponding Font Object>
ImpactItalic10 | <Corresponding Font Object>
TimesRomanRegular12 | <Corresponding Font Object>
These font types come from an external library, the real type is DocumentFont, I prefer not to store just values and recreate the font object later, so I need to store the object, and i want to be able to call Contains() later without looping. like for example Dictionary (of T Key, T Value), is this the best option? Also, to be able to call Contains(), i will have to overload function Contains() using an Interface or this is already built-in in some Collections / Dictionaries when using a String as Key?

I'm having problems doing a sort of a custom collection. The collection is Device Classes which is a collection of Device Class. My sort does not produce an error but the treeview control shows nothing. I am not sure what I am missing. I'm guessing just a simple sort won't work here but I don't know what I'm missing in my code. Here's the code that creates the collection

Simply sorting the treeview will not work because it throws off the display of related info for a given device in listview controls. The collection itself needs to be sorted before the data is added to the treeview.

I need to order a Dictionary in VB.net based off of the keys. The keys and values are all strings. The dictionary does not have a .Sort(). Is there a way to do this without having to write my own sorting algorithm?

i 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.
Public Function SortDictionaryAsc(ByVal dict As Dictionary(Of Long, Decimal)) As Dictionary(Of Long, Decimal)
Dim final As New Dictionary(Of Long, Decimal)

I'd like to store a set of key/value pairs in the application settings of my ASP.NET web app, but I'm not finding a straightforward way to do that. For example, these two questions tell me that StringDictionary etc. won't serialize to XML and suggest that I'll have to roll my own implementation. But it seems like this should be easier to do; after all, web.config is XML and < applicationSettings> is essentially a collection of key/value pairs, so it feels like I'm missing something obvious. Given my specific case below, do I really have to roll my own serialization, or is there an easier workaround?
The web app in question is a basic contact form that sends email to different recipients based on the value of a parameter; e.g. [URL]...The goal is to be able add or remove recipients (or change their addresses) by editing the web.config file so that I don't have to recompile and can easily maintain different configurations in test and production environments. For example:
// I can use something like this for the sender address SmtpMsg.From = New MailAddress(My.Settings.EmailSender)
// And then just edit this part of web.config to use different addresses in different environments.
<setting name="EmailSender" serializeAs="String"> <value>webcontact@exampledomain.com</value>

I add objects (structure type) to a dictionary with string keys.
i don't figure out how to update a value of a object.
i use TryGetValue to get a reference to a object of the dictionary collection.
But the changes i made at the referenced object are not made at the object at the dictionary.
Any hints how to get a object reference to change values without to re-add the complete object?[code]...

I'd like to use a dictionary to store the contents of an ini file. Now I know you can simply say
myArray.add("key1","value1")
myArray.add("key2","value2")
etc...
But Id like to store more information with a specific key, not just a single value, so id like to associate other values with key1 eg firstname,surname,address.
So by knowing the value of 'key1' I could retrieve the firstname, surname or address associated with it.
I know in PERL, hash arrays work in this manner
eg
$hash{'key1}{'firstname'} = 'john';
$hash{'key1}{'surname'} = 'smith';
etc....

I am trying to populate a dictionary with objects created from data in a recordset, but am having difficulty with VB's object referencing. I am very new to VB. Pseudo code of what I am trying to do:
dim dict as Dictionary
rs = getRecordSet
while rs.moveNext
set myObj = new MyClass
myObj.properties = rs.relevantFields
dict.add myObj.getUniqueKey, myObj
wend
However, all 'objects' in the dictionary are actually references to the most recently created (and thus last) object in the dictionary. I know why what I am doing above is not working, but I don't know the correct way to do it so that each element in the dictionary is it's own object.

So any ideas on how i could store the items?

I'm having trouble implementing an IComparer method. Essentially, I want to compare the properties of two custom objects (the properties are of type integer).dE is a Dictionary(Of String, customObj)prTabIndex is a property of customObj and is of type Integer (these hold true for all examples)After some more searching I found this thread which suggested 3 things: a List approach, utilizing LINQ, and using some C# 3.0 features. I've tried three different ways:...rolling my own IComparer implementation:
Public m As Sub(ByRef d As Dictionary(of String, customObj))
Dim sortedD As New SortedDictionary(Of String, customObj)(d, myCompare)
End Sub
[code]....
Note that VS2008 has underlined 'dE.ToDictionary...' (to the end of the line) and giving me two messages depending on where I hover my mouse:
1) "Data type(s) of the type parameter(s) in extension method 'signature' As 'signature defined in 'System.Linq.Enumerable cannot be inferred from these arguments. Specifying the data types explicitly might correct this error. Seen while hovering over "ToDictionary".
2) Nested function does not have the same signature as delegate 'signature'. Seen while hovering over anything after "ToDictionary".
Q1) How far off am I in each of the implementations?
Q2) Which one is the computationally least expensive? Why?
Q3) Which one is the computationally most expensive? Why?

I don't know if this is doable, maybe with Linq, but I have a List(Of MyType):
Public Class MyType
Property key As Char
Property description As String
End Class
And I want to create a Dictionary(Of Char, MyType) using the key field as the dictionary keys and the values in the List as the dictionary values, with something like:
New Dictionary(Of Char, MyType)(??)
Even if this is doable, internally it will loop through all the List items, I guess?

we have 3 classes:Class S, class A, class B / A and B inherits S.A has a property A1 and B has a property B1.we also have a collection of objects that has A and B objects.ex.
Dim c as Collection = new Collection
c.add(new A)
c.add(new B)
Now we want to make a general object that will read from the collection.
ex .
Dim obj as S
how can we cast obj in order to see properties A1 or B1 according to the class;

i've researched and written a generic class (all my objects are the same structure) and i'm was just working on the collection using a hash table but i've just read a comment within (url...) in this forum...that we shouldn't use hashtables at all with vs2008.i actually need and object collection that contains other object collections within them.the application i'm trying to write is relatively simple (but i'm new to vb.net)it keeps track of the time for weight lifting training/workouts.a workout consists of 'say' a bench press, military press, curls, dead lift, etc within the "bench" you have 1,2, or 3 sets (how many times you do "the bench", within a set you have 1,2,3 or 4 lifters, each lifter does reps.then it starts over with military press..i guess i could base it on a treeview type structure (with parent child type relationships) but i usually think in terms of collections it appears that a collectionbase has no key and i'd have to keep track of them on my own...
