I would be more that happy for someone to tell me I am missing something very simple here I am writing code that - amongst other things - talks to code on other servers using the tcpclient function in .net
What I want to do is - in essense very simply. I want to define a structure which includes an array load it with data and sent it to the other end of the socket.

i am currently running a program that will allow me to save all data on the form to open and edit at will. It uses a structure of 8 arrays, each with 16 values to save the information.

I have a structure called 'Scheme' and in my program I want (ideally) an ArrayList of 'Schemes' (so i can add, remove schemes etc.). However, within the 'Scheme' structure, I want to have an ArrayList of 'Item''Item' is another structure. Are there any solutions out there for iterating through these arrays quite easily?
How can I easily add multiple Items to a Scheme and mutliple Schemes to my Scheme array. Code is below. When I try to add Items to a Scheme, I get the 'Object not set to a reference of an object, try the 'New' keyword', but you cannot declare 'New' keywork within a structure.

I read in the Book "Mastering Microsoft Visual Basic 2008" about "User-Defined data types".The example given is creating a Structure as follows.I wanted to check that so I wrote all the code given; I used a TextBox and a Button for this.(I didn't include the "CheckDate" here; that is in the book)
Structure CheckRecord
Dim CheckNumber As Integer

The problem is this does work.What I get is "00000". and I found out that the "Checks(4)" Array does hold any value ie: on keeping the cursor over that, it shows "CheckAmount 0.0, CheckNumber 0 , CheckPaidTo Nothing ".
I'm currently doing this project where i have to create a program that let's the administrator manage students (and their tests.)

I want to create a relational database in VB2010 and I am attempting to accomplish this goal by creating a structure of records to be stored in a Random Access File.For each record, I want to organize each fixed-length record so that 4-integer sets of data are stored into a a multi-dimensional array.But when I try to write the code below at the module level, I get an error.

of Random Access File [code].....
Since I want to read/write/save the data in this structure to a Random Access File with a fixed record length size, I need to exactly specify the size of the record...which is, of course, determined by the array's dimensions.If I could accomplish this strategy, then I could search this random access file for a match of search criteria consisting of 4-integers with any of the 4-integer sets of data in each record and thus find, edit, delete and search records...therby retrieve information from my database.
Is my program design inefficient? Is there a better way to handle perhaps hundreds of thousands of records? The IDE keeps telling me that I am using a deprecated method of file I/O when I use FileOpen(), FileGet(),FilePut() and should be using MyFile.I am entirely comfortable with my time-tested method of data storage that ensures the security of disk storage while exposing only one record at a time to the PC's volatile RAM, thereby not allowing all my data exposed to possible memory corruption on a PC left on for hours, which would be the case if I loaded the whole file as a monster- sized string or stream. Also, these older file access methods allows my code to run on PC's with modest amounts of memory.

View 1 RepliesI have the following code... in an MDI application. [code] Various lines of code which put data into the Myinstance and then save the instance into the ArrayList.I have buttons which run procedures and functions in the formchild and also in the Class1. I need it so you can jump between formchild instances, and when you do so and click a button on that form, it will run the Class1 code but using the data in the arraylist and myinstance that was set previously by the selected formchild. Then if you switch to another child it uses data from this form. Can this be done by declaring the arraylist with more dimensions and then refer to the records with the index of the selected form instance, e.g.Selected Child is index(3)
View 1 RepliesI have created an MDIparent form and a MDIchild. There is a button on the parent which makes multiple 'clones' of the child form, each time its clicked.I also want (maybe with a module) a set of variables, and array of a structure but these are available to each copy of the child, but each copy's variables, arraylist etc contain its own data?Therefore if you select child1 the variables and array will have different data to child2, child3...etc...

When I do this everything works fine and I am able to pass value to dll. I am passing two structures arrays and other single values like int and double etc. So far so good. But when I insert this code in another application (created in same vb.net 2005) where I actually intent it to use then i get the following error -
System.Runtime.InteropServices.SafeArrayTypeMismatchException
Specified array was not of the expected type.
I am puzzled as to why is this happening. I checked basic settings and they are same. In short the code works if i create a new project and go on but does not work and gives error if I insert in an existing application's code where i wanna use. To test I created a dll without passing structure arrays and then it worked in that application.

I'd like to give a homework assignment to a person learning VB.NET. I'd like it to use basic inheritance and a variety of data structures including queues, lists, arrays, or stacks in a windows forms application. I was thinking of a pizza-ordering application. This would allow them to utilize some basic inheritance and practice using .NET UI elements.

i have a main module called "main", within the module i have declared 2 other modules "Interfacing" and "Espec", within these 2 submodules they both have a structure called "coord" which is identical. The problem is that when i have defined a function in one module with "coord" as type and try to assign a value in the other module with coord type i get error message "Value of type Main.Interfacing.Coord cannot be converted to Main.Espec.Coord", so basically how could i pass that structure?

I'm attempting to create a list of structures that contains a list of structures. I can't seem to figure out how to properly allocate the object for the inner list of structures. I expect the outer list of structures to have a couple thousand entries and the inner list of structures to be fairly small at 2 to 10. Both lists will grow over time but the number of elements within the inner list will be constant for an instance of the outer list. Meaning, if an instance of the outer list has 2000 entries each of those will have the same number of elements on the inner list, say 4 entries.
Here is a simplified code fragment. This fragment makes no attempt to create the instance of the inner list "StructBlist" since I can't figure out where to put it. Tried "New List(Of StructB)" in the declaration as well as "Alist(0).StructBlist = New List(Of StructB)" but neither works.

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 ?

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

View 15 RepliesI have a 2 dimensional array. Im trying to use it to generate a maze via some algorithms. Its pretty much way over my head though.But thats beside the point. If i need each array coordinate to store multiple values (like if south, west, north, east has walls), what would be a clever way to do so?
For instance:1, 1 in the array needs to keep track of 4 values at least (as do all other positions).
Should i make it an integer value like "1111" and replace with 0's where the wall is gone? the first 1 being north, second being east e.t.c. Would you choose this option?If someone wants to do a bit more research, here is some info on mazes:[URL]..

I am toiling with the best way of doing this. So far, I am not having much luck. I have used arrays quite successfully in Java, but I am not sure that this is the best way to go here. I would have to get how many lines there are and read each line. Make the changes, and then go on to the next line. I think scanning the document line by line using a loop is the best way. However, I am not sure.
