.net - Data Structure For Text Adventure?
Nov 6, 2011I'm designing a choice based adventure game in VB.NET 2010, where you are presented with a story label, and you choose between 2 buttons, which choice you want to make. I want to know the most efficient way to do this.My goals are to store the labels for the buttons and the story in some form of data structure, which is temporarily a hash table right now, and some form of structure for the choices. Right now I am using a custom class that references the indexes of the next 2 choices and their respective label indexes which stores the class instances in a hashtable.I've looked into things like arrays, dictionaries, lists, and collections, but I'm not sure which one best fits what I'm after. Any .NET data structure would work. What is the most efficient data structure for these 2 pieces of data? Would just a string array work?
View 2 RepliesBind A Text Box To A Structure Element?
Feb 6, 2011I would like to bind the text field of a textbox to an element in an instance of a structure that I've created in a class module. When I try to create a Data Source using an OBJECT type, all I see in the tree is the name of the structure, not the instance I've created. If I select the structure anyway, the Data Sources tree does show the name of the structure and the element I'm interested in. How do I bind to a specific instance?
View 1 RepliesAdding Textbox Name And Text To ArrayList Using Structure?
May 20, 2011I have a function which iterates through the TextBoxes in my form (and its child controls) and adds each TextBox's name and text to an ArrayList using a structure I called valTxtBox.
Here's a snippet of the
VB.NET
Public Structure valTxtBox
Public nome As String
Public texto As String
End Structure
[Code] .....
Now, the problem is that if I call Clear() for valsTxtBox in the getctrls() function, not all the elements get added to the ArrayList. However, if I don't call Clear() it works just fine. BTW, I'm using VS2008 express which might be relevant.

File I/O And Registry :: Get Input On File Structure?
Feb 13, 2009I am developing some program which will frequently read a file and occasionally write to the file. The file, however, is extremely huge - it may contain hundred of thousands of rows, and each row has a particular meaning to the program. That, is there may be loads and loads of rows, and a row may contain additional elements.For instance, a row might look like the following:
Code:
3 00000111000000 01110110 2 0
I am writing my program in C#, just fyi.Given my very large file, I am refraining from the idea of just using a text file, which is an obvious choice. I am also hesitating to use a database and a table.
Class Structure - Large Structure That Has Lots Of Properties ?
Jan 5, 2010I'm new to VB 2008 after having spent a long time with VB6, so I apologize if this is a stupid question. But I'd really like to have this straightened out.
Let's say I have a pretty large structure that has lots of properties.
Code:
Now say that I want an internal database with about 10 instances of this structure total, describing, say, 10 different products that a store sells. When these values are loaded from a database, they remain totally static. (However, they can be different each time a program loads)
Now say that I have a class. Each instance of this class is a type of that BaseProduct structure. Meaning, each instance of the class pertains to one of the 10 types of products that the store sells. However, this class has additional properties that pertain specifically to each instance, which are not static.
Code:
Now, the problem here is... If I have 200 different transactions, each one contains an instance of BaseProduct. BaseProduct is HUGE, and is largely redundant (only 10 types possible), so I think it's a little silly to include a whole copy of it with EVERY transaction. However, the Transaction class really needs information regarding the base product it pertains to. Is there a way to, instead of declaring a New BaseProduct in the Transaction class, to simply make one of the properties of the Transaction class a pointer to a BaseProduct variable?
In VB6, I would accomplish this by making a BaseProduct(10) array, and then giving each Transaction an ID number referring to an entry in that array. But in VB 2008, using class structure, this is impossible. I can't define the BaseProduct(10) array outside of a class in a namespace, and if I define it in the actual application's form, then the class loses modularity since it relies on the application that's using it.
Converting Structure Within Structure To Byte Array For Socket
Aug 29, 2009I am trying to communicate with an external device and i am trying to send a byte array to the external device via sockets but i am always getting a response the message size is too small so i am not sure what i have done wrong. Between the data type there should be no alignment present and all numbers are represented in little endian format. The char array is not null terminated as mentioned in the protocol specifications.
I have to send data based on a struct that embeds 2 other struct. So here's my vb.net code for the struct used to convert to byte array and the sending part.
Public Structure MESSAGETYPE_OIP_Login

View 1 RepliesVS 2008 - Writing Structure To File?
May 6, 2009Okay, I have a structure that contains numerous elements... mostly strings, one or two integers. I maintain an internal array of that structure. The structure contains ONLY data elements, no code.I want to save the data to a file. I know that I CAN use StreamWriter.Writeline()to put out a formatted string for each element in the array. But is there any way to simply open a binary output file and save each structure, one after the other? And conversely, to load the array again in similar fashion? Something similar to this in intent, though I realize the code below doesn't work.

To repeat, I want to write an entire structure to a datafile quickly and easily, without having to save each member of each element in the array. And conversely, to read the data back in the same way for easy loading of the array.
VS 2008 : Reading A Structure From A File?
Apr 12, 2010I have several quesions about reading/writing structures from/to files.In a scenario when I open a data file having its own header and variable data fields I create a structure that represents a header consisting of 9 bytes:
Public Structure HeaderInfo
Public DataField1 As Integer
Public DataField2 As Byte
Public DateField3 As Integer
End Structure
I'm using this code for the time being:
vb.net
Public Function ReadHeader(ByVal FileName As String) As HeaderInfo Dim ReturnInfo As HeaderInfo Try Using br As New IO.BinaryReader(New IO.FileStream(FileName, IO.FileMode.Open, IO.FileAccess.Read, IO.FileShare.Read)) With ReturnInfo
[code]....
The first question is - can I fill the structure directly somehow? Some structures are very long and filling them this way will be tedious. For example, if I know the length of the structure I could read the needed number of bytes in a byte array and somehow marshal these bytes into the structure.I can use Marshal.PtrToStructure, but then I would need to get an IntPtr of my byte array. I use <Serializable()> attribute for my structure.
Extracting Data From CSV File Into Searchable Structure?
Jun 25, 2010I have a csv file with 48 columns of data. I need to open this file, place it into a data structure and then search that data and present it in a DataRepeater. So far I have successfully used CSVReader to extract the data and bind it to myDataRepeater. However I am now struggling to place the data in a table so that I can filter the results. I do not want to use SQL or any other database.
So far, this is working in returning all records:
Private Sub BindCsv()
' open the file "data.csv" which is a CSV file with headers"
Dim dirInfo As New DirectoryInfo(Server.MapPath("~/ftp/"))
Dim fileLocation As String = dirInfo.ToString & "data.txt"

Find A Log File Encoding And Understand It's Structure
Oct 14, 2011My questions isn't really about a programming language but, since I did not find a general programming forum, I chose this one as I know VB.Net. There's this game, that you might already know, which is called Star Wars Galaxies (And is ending soon actually .. ). For each account and character, the game automatically saves chat logs in a .cht file. A player can have multiple chat channels that have different chat filters (group chat, public chat, etc) and they are all saved in this file. I'm thinking they are probably separated by some kind of a "flag" for the game to be able to detect them.

Matching A Specific File Name Structure With Regex?
Jun 21, 2011Regex in VB2008.I have a file system directory that my code is watching. When a file is placed in that directory my code kicks off a processing application. Based on the filename structure, the code will perform different processes. So I need to match the filename structure specficially to get the correct processes to run on that file.My file name structure is: IK2YYYYMMDD_VV.e;where YYYYMMDD is well, the year, month and day. And VV is a verison number from 00-99 If the new file saved in the directory match this structure then I want a TRUE returned. From a filewatcher I get the filename as an "e.Name" (FileSystemEventArgs) variable. My current code to see if it matches the baseline structure is;
Dim IKPred2Match as New Regex ("^IK2.*\.e$") Dim ValidIKPred2Match as MatchCollection = IKPred2Match.Matches(e.Name)I've tried many different regex match patterns, and just can't seem to find the magic one.

VS 2008 Loading A Variables From A Structure In A File?
Apr 21, 2009Im trying to load a price of an item from a prices file (Items). The variable (ItemName) is taken from a listox populated from the file on another form. And (Item) is the structure which i saved the prices information for into (Items).
What im trying to do is take the string from the listbox and change the textbox (txtCurrentPrice) text into the price for the highlighted item, which is also the name of the (txtItem) textbox.
However i cant find a way to reference the Item.(ItemName) to get the correct price from within the file, as ItemName isnt a member of the Items structure Item instance.
ChangeItemForm
Private Sub ChangeItemForm_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

ItemName holds the name of one of the variables saved in the structure. So say if ItemName was holding "IridescentRoll" As its string I would be trying to find Item.IridescentRoll, which would show me the price of IridescentRoll which im trying to put into the textbox. and As Item.IridescentRoll = 3.35 it would display 3.35 in the textbox.
As you have probably guessed, the Item.ItemName doesnt work ('ItemName is not a member of...'
Is there any way to write this without having to create a new record for each item? As that would take a while, and im not sure i have the time x.X
