I think I have to sort the array to be able to use binarysearch.So I need to sort the arraylist on TileDetails.TileURL(if possible) and then binarysearch on it.
Originally i wanted to ask if it's faster to sort Integers than Strings.But i have answered this question myself and i'm suprised of the big difference.Why is sorting and BinarySearch Integers as much faster compared to Strings?
The (VB.Net) Test with 1.000.000 Int32/Strings:
Private Function CheckIntBinarySearch() As TimeSpan
Dim watch As New System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch()
Dim rnd As New Random(Date.Now.Millisecond)
Dim intCol1 As New List(Of Int32)
[code]....
Consider having large collections of "String-Integers"("1","2","3",...). Would it even be better to parse them to integers before sorting and searching them? What is the cost of parsing Strings to integers?
I need to sort an array containing a list of words and search the same using binarysearch. For certain reasons, the word-list must always be sorted using the sorting-rules of "en-US" i.e. American Regional Settings. The code will run under various international Operating Systems and of course this will mean that the word-list will be sorted differently according to the local Regional Settings in use. One problem could arise on a computer/device running with Lithuanian Regional Settings. Why? Because the letter "Y" in most languages is sorted like X-Y-Z while in Lithuanian, the sort order is I-Y-J. This behavior would create havoc to my program.

However, in means of flexibility I believe Guffa's answer is the best one. Why? Let's use another example:In German, the letter Ö is sorted Ö-X-Z while in Swedish and Finnish, the order is X-Z-Ö. In Estonian the sort order is Z-Ö-X. Complicated, isn't it? Guffa's solution will let me force Swedish sorting-oder (changing CultureInfo) on a device running under German Regional settings. Using Comparer.DefaultInvariant with its association to English wouldn't help in this case, probably the letter Ö would end up with O. Therefore my vote will go to Guffa.

How can I sort an ArrayList of custom objects by public member? Example,If I have a list of article objects, and I'd like to sort the list by the rating member after I've filled the ArrayList
Public Class Article
Public bulletin As String
Public rating As Integer[code].....
Now I'd like to sort uniqueArticles by rating and print articles by rating order.How do I do perform that sort?
So I discovered the .net array class has a built-in binarysearch method. Do I want to use this all the time (that is, when I meet the prerequisite that the array is sorted) or are there times when I would want to just iterate through the elements starting at 0 and incrementing until I find what I'm looking for? Is there an optimal size that recommends using one way or the other?
View 9 RepliesWhat 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've got my text files read into an array.Which was step 1 .My code so far is:
Note: textSKU is just a text box. No event handler associated.
Private Sub BtnSeacrch_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnSeacrch.Click
Dim objCA As New System.IO.StreamReader(ofdCA.FileName)
System.IO.StreamReader(ofdWarehouse.FileName)[code]....
The message box is mostly just to test to see if it's finding the line. And the problem is it's returning -136.Which I'm pretty sure can't be a value in the array ( actually very sure, as I tested it just to be sure, and it says it's out of bounds).I know it's in the array, as when I change returnvalueCA to a...7 for example, it outputs the correct line from the .csv file.
Edit: Index was outside the bounds of the array. is what the debugger says, as it's trying to output the value of SKUSheet(-136)
why this sub show me -3?
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim s As String() = {"0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10"}

there are a total of 5 errors with this code.
error 1: Optional parameters must specify a default value - error location "lastEl As object) As Long" - closing bracket is highlighted
Error 2: expression expected - error location "Optional lastEl As Variant) As Long" - where optional is highlighted.
Error 3: comma, ')', or a valid continuation expected - error location "strCycleIDarray As Variant" - where "as" is highlighted
Error 4: comma, ')', or a valid continuation expected - error location "strSearchCycleIDvalueArray As Variant" - where "as" is highlighted
Error 5: Ismissing is not declared and may not be accessible due to its protection level - error location "If IsMissing(lastEl) Then lastEl = UBound(strCycleIDarray)" - where "IsMissing" is Highlighted.
I dont have an idea where to start solving these errors and i cant debug this search as the errors are there.If you dont understand the errors in the format i have put them in just copy and paste the code into a windows form using a button as an activiator.

I'm using a binary search to return the index of a value in an array but on this occasion it return -2 when I'm expecting a positive 2 to be returned.
If cBudgetID.Contains(AdditionalCostBudgetID) Then
Pos1 = cBudgetID.BinarySearch(AdditionalCostBudgetID)
cCost.Item(Pos1) += AdditionalCost
ElseIf AdditionalCostBudgetID <> 0 Then
cBudgetID.Add(AdditionalCostBudgetID)
cCost.Add(AdditionalCost)
End If
Values:
AdditionalCostBudgetID = 53
ArrayList CBudgetId = 0) 50 1) 60 2) 53
Anyone use the framework binarysearch methods?Can they do lower and upper bound searches?
View 4 RepliesWhat 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.
Sub RetAllMbrs(strUser As String)
Dim oPC As PrincipalContext = GetPrincipalContext() '<- this is function somewhere else in the code

I am new to arraylist. I have used standard 2 dimension or single dimension arrays which is there is .net & legacy VB.What I want is removing & searching in arrays to be easy ? VB.net does provide something called arraylist whereby we can remove items easily like X.removeat (index) or x.remove (search) etc.[code]Now I have a array person. To add i do redim person(10) or using preserve if I need to dynamically add etc. To remove is a pain as I need to copy contents and remove manually.Anyways in .net you have option called ArrayList.How can I use this to make life easier? If I want an arraywhereby I can do person.removeat (2) or person.add person.name="XYZ" & so on.Just wanna ease up on searching & removing.

I want to create an arraylist from MDI childforms and I did it like this:
vb.net
Dim sl As New SortedList(Of Integer, Form)
Dim i As Integer
Dim form As Form
For Each form In Me.MdiChildren
[Code] .....
It's working great, that means that if I delete a childform for example number 2 from all 3 then it creats first number 2 again and then number 4. Now the problem is that It only shows the childformnumber in the parentformtext instead of the name and number of that childform,like this: parentform - childform 1
I can do this with a for loop, but I was just curious if an arraylist can be updated using a for each loop. ie
For Each arrItem As String In myArrayList
arrItem = "My Stuff"
Next
If I loop through the arraylist again the values remain unchanged.
I have a access db that contains logs in it from a project of mine. I have set up a total of 10 columns per row for log ids to be inserted ex: Log_1, Log_2, Log_3, etc...
The logs are pulled from an XML file that I downloaded and extracted from in an array list: log_id_1, log_id_2, log_id_3, etc...The db columns are a fixed number, 10. While the log id in the array list are variable, from either none upwards to about 20 of them.
If my arraylist has more entries in it than db has positions, I dont get an error, but if my array list has fewer than the 10 fixed columns in the db, I get an index error.What should I do to fix the error, capture the error and ignore it or is there another, better method?
may i have an simple example to create,initialize an multidimensional arraylist some thing like
Dim i As ArrayList()()() and add / retrieve the values from specified indices
how do I do the code if I wanna delete a selected item from the array list and not all the items store in the array list? [Code]

View 1 RepliesI am working with an ArrayList of ArrayLists. Every time I add a new ArrayList to the main AL, it replaces all previously added ALs with the new one.Here's an example
Dim al As New ArrayList

I would expect the Final line should be "Final: one, two, three" but that is not the case. And if I pause and check my ArrayList (al), it shows 3 items, that all have "three" in every spot which is what the last AL I added looked like.
