there are any nifty in-built .net methods that can essentially return either the number of occurrences of each element in an array, or simply return the modal value.

I am in a "survey of programming languages" course and have a professor who doesn't teach. There is no text book for this course.I am working a VB Form project to take a URL, grab the HTML source code, parse out all words, and count the occurrences of each word on the page. I have built the form, and written the code to parse the words and store them in an array. What is the most efficient way to count the occurrences of each individual word in that array (case insensitive), sort the results decreasing from most frequent, and display the results of the ten most used words. I will be displaying the results in two separate listboxes on my form. 1 listbox shows the words, and the other shows the number of occurrences.

I'm using Streamwriter/Streamreader for the first time in this project and keep getting an "Argument out of Range Exception was unhandled" error.It says "length cannot be less than zero. Parameter name: length."This happens at "dblYearly Income." Also, how do I find out the number of occurrences of an item in an array? For instance, I have a Race combobox and need to find out how many occurrences there are for each race.Also, is there a way to count the number of occurrences of an array itself, I guess the upper index value?

After executing a query with LINQ to SQL, the result I have is an arraylist (.ToList) of items with ID numbers. The number of items and their occurences will vary with each query. I would simply like to count the occurences of each specific ID in the list.
How do I do that??
The only count function I know of (.count() ) is for a count on the entire list. I've also I've been reading on how to loop through the list items but I don't understand how I can do that if I don't know how many specific ID's there will be from each query result.
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?
a program is supposed to display the number of times a number occurs in a larger number. For example, iff the user enter 356, its supposed to show the numbers 0 thru 9 and say how many times the number occurs in the program. I am pretty sure somethings wrong with the first For loop, but I am not sure why it doesnt work, all it prints out are zeros.

I'm looking for a way to determine how many times a character occures within a string.
Let's say for example I want all comma's to be counted in the following string:

I'm scanning through all characters in a textbox. Then the program counts how many of each character is in the textbox. Here's the code which adds all characters to a list:

Everything's working fine, except this will also add returns to the list, which I don't want. I thought I could write like this:

End If

If I want to change a single element of one of the elements of the array, for example the DayHi field of the 0th element, then the code ATRList(0).DayHi = 4 causes the error: Error3Expression is a value and therefore cannot be the target of an assignment. Now I could get round this by reading all the items out of the 0th element into newATR, changing the field I'm interested in and then doing a "ATRList(n) = newATR" but there must be an easier way?
its like this if we think the original textfile like this [its meaning less] dim original as string = "myname is not thename wasthe notthe nameisnot nere!" i want to see what words are recurring, like name, the, was, not but i cant use split(), substring because they may even exist as combined words like thecat and i need to know the number of time it has recurred
View 1 RepliesI am trying to populate an ArrayList using the elements from a DataTable. I know I could do this using Loop, but I am trying to figure out how to using AddRange.Here's my code:SomeArrayList.AddRange(SomeDataTable.Rows.Item(0).ItemArray)

I have an SQL database with a single table with several colunmns. I want to count how many times a certain number appears in one of the columns. E.g. I have the following:
A B C
8 4 6
0 9 3
1 4 6
4 7 1
I want to count the number of times 4 is used in column B. I have looked at using the following, but not sure if this is even the right approach:
Dim db as New MainTblDataSet
Dim BCount = Aggregate B In db.MainTbl Into Count(B.B = num)
where num=the number I am counting the instances of (4 in this case).
The hope is that BCount will equal 2, but it returns 0 every time.

I have an application where event driven events are already detected. Each time an even is detected I increment a counter.I would like to add the following functionality:
1.) I would like to create a time stamp each time an event is detected and store them in some kind of data structure.
2.) I would like to count how many events are being stored (or in essence count how many events have occurred in the past 10 seconds, not once but continuously).
3.) I would then like to discard of any events older than 10 seconds note events are interrupt driven and can occur more frequently than once a second, but updating my count of how many events have occurred in the past 10 seconds can be done as infrequently as say once a second.
