I'm trying to use an arraylist as the parameter to String.Format.
msg = msg & String.Format("<td>{0}</td>" & _
"<td>{1}</td>" & _
"<td>{2}</td>" & _ [code].....
But this code throws a FormatException
Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list.Am I wrong that it's possible to use an arraylist?

I want to change ListBox1 with ArrayList. But I couldn't find how to use adding a string to ArrayList in tread.
I have an arraylist (arrFirstArry) which I use to populate another arraylist (arrNoDuplicates) preventing any duplicates from being added. This works fine. What I would also like my code to do is prevent adding any partial values which may exist from being added. i.e. my array is like this
[Code]...
var queryString = string.Format("filename={0}&filestream={1}&append={2)", fileName, Convert.ToBase64String(b, 0, bytesRead).ToString(), 1);
above line of code giving error 'Input string was not in a correct format.'
I have a function that is getting passed a String and a DataRow.The String is a custom formatter. The idea is to do this
String.Format(passed_in_String, DataRow("ColumnINeed"))
The reason this is being done is at this point we have no idea what the column contains.However, if the formatter is "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}" and the DataRow("ColumnINeed") is an integer containing 42, String.Format is returning: MM/dd/yyyy In this situation I need it to throw an exception instead of returning nonsense.Is there anyway to make String.Format throw an exception if the object does not match what the format string is expecting?
So I need a format string to pass to String.Format that would "move" the decimal point.I can't perform any math operations before doing the String.Format, so it has to work right off the bat.Basically I'm emulating a formatting string from a proprietary server. In it if I say:
"MR2"
for the value:
12345
The result is:
123.45
I'm close with this, but it's not spot on:
String.Format("{0:#0.##}", 12345)
an extra, but not necessary... there is also MR2Z, which moves the decimal 2 left, but if the value is 0 "" is returned.
however, i'm copying this directly from the book in its example format and still getting an error.
FormatException was unhandled
Input String was not in correct format

I want to format the Timespan to have format like this 49 hr 34 mn 20 sec
I used the String format below :
String.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}:{2:00}", theTimeSpan.TotalHours, theTimeSpan.Minutes, theTimeSpan.Seconds)
It formats the Timespan to this format 49:34:20. How can I add hr mn sec to the String.Format above? or there's another easy way?
I have an ArrayList, and i wish to search it for a specific part of a string. Like the InStr() function.I can only find the WHOLE string. The ArrayList has strings like "This=Is A String", so if i do a check with ArrayList.Contains. It will only search for the whole string, and not something IN the string. Perhaps i need something like Starts With .

Basically, Im running an SQL query to the database, which obviously returns data in their fields. What I want to do is add each record into an ArrayList and split the string based on fields. I.E
CustomerID,Surname,GivenName etc
How do I go about this? so far I have:
alstData.AddRange(sLine.Split(","c))
sLine = the record from the database.
This doesnt seem to work, it just display's the data in one line with no split such as 20205SmithJohn?
How do I convert an arraylist into a string of comma delimited values in vb.net. I have an arraylist with ID values

I've got some code that creates a list of AD groups that the user is a member of, with the intention of saying 'if user is a member of GroupX then allow admin access, if not allow basic access'.
I was using a StringCollection to store this list of Groups, and intended to use the Contains method to test for membership of my admin group, but the problem is that this method only compares the full string - but my AD groups values are formatted as cn=GroupX, etc....
I want to be easily able to determine if a particular substring (i.e. 'GroupX') appears in the list of groups. I could always iterate through the groups check each for a substring representing my AD group name, but I'm more interested in finding out if there is a 'better' way.
Clearly there are a number of repositories for the list of Groups, and it appears that Generics (List(Of String)) are more commonly preferred (which I may well implement anyway) but there is no in-built means of checking for a substring using this method either.
I've settled on using a List(Of), and I've borrowed from Dan's code to iterate through the list.
I 've an ArrayList and to join all its elements with a separator in one string I m using...
Dim s As String = String.Join(",", TryCast(myArrayList.ToArray(GetType(String)), String()))
however, I would know if there is a smarter/shorter method to get the same result,or same code that looks better...
What I am doing is iterating through all the groups that belong to the top group (Generic reports). Then I take advantage of the GroupPrincipal.GetMembers(True) which will recurse through a given group name. I test to see if the user exits under that group and if true I put the group name in an arraylist.
I use the for each principal in GroupPrincipal.GetMembers to loop through each returned user to see if they exist.
Is there a way to put all the returned users Principal.Name from a given group in GroupPrincipal.GetMembers into an ArrayList? This would allow me to to use Arraylist1.IndexOf to search for user. Which would be much faster then iterating through a returned list using the for each construct.

What I need to do is read an ArrayList in My.Settings and add another ArrayList to it. The first think I'm trying to do is load My.Settings.Records into myArrayList. I'm not quite sure on the proper way to do this. I've tried things such as Dim myArrayList As ArrayList = My.Settings.Records, I'm not sure if I need New and I'm not sure if I need .Clone or .CopyTo.
Then I have another ArrayList myArrayList2. To get this into myArrayList I've done: [Code] Then to save it back to My.Settings I've done. My.Settings.Records = myArrayList. The problem is I keep on getting Object reference not set to an instance of an object error on the AddRange line. My.Settings.Records is definitely an ArrayList and it will sometimes = Nothing. The objects will only ever be strings.
I have a field that I display via: String.Format({0:c},amount) This produces the string "$28.28" However, when I try to convert back to a decimal amount, I get an incorrect format exception: amount = Decimal.Parse(amount.Text, NumberStyles.Currency) I also tried it with NumberStyles.AllowCurrencySymbol with the same results. I verified that the value in amount.Text is "$28.28". Am I missing something? Shouldn't these two operations use the same currency symbol and formats?

I want to create an array of an array (or arraylist of an arraylist) to hold strings.I want to fill an array1 with string values Then add this array to array2. - but only taking up 1 row in array2 e.g something like array2(index)=array1 Then clear array1 then loop through this again with different data, and add it to the array2.so will end up with something like
array2(0)... contains a collection of array1 data
array2(1)... contains a collection of different array1 data
.. and so on
i think i need to make new instances of array1 each loop, but not sure.I dont mind if it uses arrays, or arraylists, or lists, or structure of arrayslists?
