This small snippet of code is to increment a count value (integer) which is stored in a dictionary using my referenced object as a key. When the dictionary is small, multiple lookups aren't a big deal but this particular dictionary can get quite large.
Private RefCount As IDictionary(Of ILifeTimeManaged, Integer)
......... CODE HERE.....
Private Sub IncrementRefCount(ByVal entity As ILifeTimeManaged)
Dim prevCount As Integer
''# if we have no reference entry, add one and set its count to 1
[Code] .....
I find a corresponding dictionary entry then increment the int stored in the value, or add a new dictionary entry. Is it a bad idea to use a pointer to the dictionary value? Then I can avoid the second key lookup when I already have gotten the value. How would you implement it? Is this even possible in .NET4? Can I do it using IntPtr do you think? [URL]
RefCount.Item(entity) = prevCount + 1
I have created a Dictionary class (MyDictionary for the example). I am currently trying to pass MyDictionary into a function, filter it into a new instance of MyDictionary and pass this new instance into another method. When I am attempting to create the second instance from the filtered first instance of MyDictionary via Lambda Expressions and the ToDictionary Method, I am getting the following error:
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.Int32,System.String]' to type 'MyDictionary'. I have simplified the example and recreated it in LINQPad and am getting the same error.
I am coverting portions of a code project article [URL] to VB.Net for my own uses but I've run across a piece of C# code written in a way that I've never seen before and which I don't know how to convert:
private static Dictionary<type,> _cachedIL = new Dictionary<type,>();
To me this looks like a dictionary decleration with no type specified for the value. Later on in the same code block the author returns what I believe is a delegate that does something that looks syntactically similar:
I have a mutable class that I'm using as a key to a generic dictionary. Two keys should be equal only if their references are equal. From what I've read, in this case, I don't need to override Equals, GetHashCode , or implement IEqualityComparer.
I want to group items from a linq query under a header, so that for each header I have a list of objects that match the header title. I assumed the solution would be to use ToDictionary to convert the objects, but this allows only one object per "group" (or dictionary key). I assumed I could create the dictionary of type (String, List Of()), but I can't figure out how to write it. As an example I have written a simplified version below.
I have created a class with a function in it. I have a collection of data I want to pass back. I tried an arraylist first. Now I am trying to use a dictionary. My problem is that it creates the dictionary ok, but I am only get the last row of data from my
Function GetWeldAuditInfo(ByVal ResourceId As String, ByVal VendorId
countDictionary As Dictionary(of Category, Dictionary(of Date, Integer))
The Class has a Enumeration Property. For the purposes of demonstration, I'll call it MasterCategory.I have been trying to get out an object that looks like the following:
groupedCountDictionary As Dictionary(of MasterCategory, Dictionary(of Date, Integer)
Which results in a IEnumerable (Of Dictionary(of Date, Integer)) for each MasterCategory value.However, I need that IEnumerable of Dictionary flattened to one dictionary with all the integers summed (total counts) for each date. I then tried to use various selects and group bys (from numerous stackoverflow posts) to "flatten" it, but my efforts have fallen short.
Current Code
[Category Class] - MasterCategory As Enum - Name As String etc
I use VS2005 and I have just started working with the dictionary in particular the Dictionary.ContainsKey method. At the bottom of the page in the msdn library it says the following in the community content How to make sure that Contains functions properly.
I understand there are no pointers in VB.Net. I need to use something similar.The issue is that I have a structure that represent a deck of cards, with elements showing how many of each type of card there is. So I have my_deck.ace, my_deck.two, and so on.What I want to do is set a pointer called current_element that refers to any element in the structure. It may one time point to my_deck.three, and another time to my_deck.nine, and so on. It could point to any element.What I want to do is, for instance to set current_element to point to my_deck.ace, then decrementing current_element would reduce the count of aces by one.[code]that would work, but it's inelegant, I have about 30 different operations to perform, some of them using several lines of code. I'd like to avoid this if at all possible. I could tolerate doing it 2 or 3 times, but not 30.
I need to change the default windows pointer to this: not generally, just in my program. (Form1) There's a Pointer Control But I Dont Know What That Does.
I've got a 3rd party C application that's compiled to a non-.NET non-COM DLL. It has one simple function declared like so: Declare Function CapiTaxRoutine Lib "taxcommono.dll" (ByVal sInData As String, ByVal OutputData As String, ByVal intINPutLength As Long) As Integer
If I place the taxcommono.dll in my path (C:WindowsSystem32 is what I'm using because it's what the vendor recommends),I can wire up a call to the function and it works just fine.It returns a 1 or 0 for success/failure, but it also sets the value of the OutputData string parameter (using some C pointer magic I'm not familiar with) to a huge fixed width format return record that has the data I need.When I call it from a .NET .exe application, it works just fine.When I try to call it from an ASP.NET application via a referenced compiled .NET wrapper DLL, it runs but can't set that string.In order to get it to run, I can't have taxcommono.dll in my path, but rather have to place it in my Bin directory of the web project.Does anyone know of a reason it can set the pointer when called from an .exe application but not when called from a web app?The .NET wrapper DLL I'm using works when called from our ERP software, which is not web based. But when I add a reference to that same DLL in the web app, it won't give me that output value.am used to just getting a return value instead of a function setting the value of one of my input parameters.
In VB6 I have several child forms that have Subs and Controls with the same names.I need to access these Subs and Controls from public subs (in a module) that have a reference to the Active Form.[code]...
I'm by no means a good programmer and I'm just trying to wrap my head around some of this stuff, so please forgive me if this is a dumb question.I want the following to produce a message box that says "2", not "5":

How do I change my mouse cursor/icon to use a image or icon. I want to make a simple "wack a mole" type game but I dont know how to change the pointer to a icon or at least get a image to follow the pointer.
I have a form that has 100 text boxes with 100 coinciding labels. I want them hidden until another function populates the text boxes with data gathered elsewhere. The data could be between 1 and 100.
I would like one loop where I can assign the data to the correct text box, set it visible and set the label visible. I can not figure out how to do this in VB, or know if it is even possible.
Here is an example of what I would like to do
Dim i As Long = 1 Dim textbox As String = "textbox"
[code]....
I would also like to do this to hide all the items on the form in the on load event.

I'm trying to rewrite a C++ library. But I have an issue. I'm not extremely pointer-savvy. In the C++ class there is a std::vector that holds unsigned int pointers (vector<unsigned int*>), and the int pointer just points to an array of integer data.
I am trying to use VirtualQueryEx to read the memory of a process (first instance of notepad in this case). This function returns a pointer to the MEMORY_BASIC_INFORMATION structure. I am trying to read this structure.But everytime I try to access a member of the structure, I get a zero, which indicates I am messing something up.I am copying my code here.
I am using a DLL written in C#, and one of its API's wants to be used as such, (this is the sample useage they give, but it is also written in C#)[code]...
I have been looking into delegates today, have come across them a few times but haven't understood them. I started thinking today that a Delegate is like a Pointer (for those who don't know a pointer is a reference to a location used in C++ and other languages than VB) So how much of a pointer is a delegate? what can a delegate do that a pointer/pointers cant?
Similarly does anyone else agree with me that all .NET languages should be able to do the same things, why cant i use pointers or logical shift operators in VB.NET? Would you guys think that being able to use code from any .net language within your code would be advantageous?
I am attempting to hide the mouse pointer when there has been a few seconds of inactivity and then re-show the pointer again when the user moves the mouse. I have been able to get the mouse pointer to hide and re-show as I require it, however when I execute grid.Children.Clear() and grid.Children.Add() the mouse pointer re-appears (but again hides after a few seconds of inactivity).
My code is as below: Private Sub Window1_MouseMoved(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseMove
