VS 2010 : Fill A "gap" After Removing A KVP In A Sequential String Key Based Dictionary?
Jan 2, 2012
I need to remove an instance in a class for which I also created a dictionary with a string key type. Like this...:
vb
'Declare dictionary
Public PersonsList As New Dictionary(Of String, Person)
'At the bottom of frmMain.vb
[code]....
As you see, I end having 120 instances of the class Person, each assigned with a string key consisting in "student1" to "student120".
At other parts of the program I repeatedly refer to PersonsList("student" & n) to set values at those class entries, mainly with a For n ... Next block.
Now... I need a routine to remove one of those instances for good, including its entry at the dictionary, so my first bet is this...:
vb
Public Sub ExpellStudent(ByVal student_index As Integer)
PersonsList.Remove("student" & selected_student_index)
students_count -= 1
End Sub
I assume this is good enough to remove the KVP at the dictionary AND the class instance proper... right?Well, even if that is ok, I foresee one problem... Let's say I removed "student46". Next time I run a For n = 1 to students_count I would bet that I'll receive an exception due to having a gap at "student46" KVP... and that without saying that students_count will be 119, so it will never reach "student120".In short, I need a way to reassign the KVP of the now 119 Person entries, so they're consecutive again (I don't care about them changing their string key values), so I still could use my For n = 1 to students_count ... Next blocks without problems... but I cannot figure out how.

I've got Visual Studio 2010 and I am looking to clean up my code technique, since I've taught myself and now I'm taking classes.
I'm trying to use a For...Next Loop so that I can fill a text box with sequential numbers. For some reason, all I can get in the text box is the last number and I feel that at this point I'm probably overthinking it...
All I want is on the button push the text box shows:
Here's what I have:
CODE:
Once I grasp this simple concept, I can move on to the actual challenge ahead of me, but I really want to know the proper way to handle this with out going all spaghetti code.

I have a ticketing application and I want to create a date based, sequential, ticket number.I'm leaning toward something based on Posix time as this generates a sufficiently large number and the likelihood of any two ticket numbers overlapping is slim to none (two people would have to just happen to hit the button at exactly the same time on two perfectly synchronized systems).Has anyone done anything like this or have any code snippets/ suggestions? At the moment, I'm just using a UNIX time converter someone posted elsewhere: [code] This works fine (although it's not POSIX time), but I wanted to see if anyone else had any feedback as well.

I basically want to do what you can do for controls like the textbox where adding a new textbox automatically autonumbers itself based on the existing textboxes(e.g. textbox1,textbox2, textbox3) except for an array or some other comparable instrument.

I need to parse an alphanumeric string leaving the characters "0-9", ".", "/" and space & remove everything else. I use "[^0-9./ ]" as my regex string and it works well. But now I have a couple other conditions that I dont know how to handle with my regex string. I actually only want to keep the "." character if it falls between two digit characters (ie. 3.5), otherwise remove it. And also I need to replace any "-" characters with a space if it falls between two digit characters (ie. 2-1), otherwise remove it.

If I want to remove 2 characters, or a specific letter or character from a string in VB, how would I accomplish this?
A usual input would be
"63.0" in string format
and I want it to be
"63"

I have a file location as a string. How can i remove the path from the string and just use the file name? For example:c:filesfile.zip - is the stringhow can i just make it so it's file.zip?keep in mind that the location is found by using anpenfiledialog(), so it needs to be able to remove the location wherever the file is.

I have been using the following code to remove text from strings so far;
String = Replace(String, "TextToChange", "")
However, I now would like to remove two words only when the occur consecutively for example, I would like to remove "Task 1", not all instances of the word "Task" and value "1".

I have strMyString that contains about 5000 lines of data. There are some lines of data that need removing if they contain a certain string, such as "http", "www.", ".com", "cat", "fish", etc. The whole line needs removing. Each line is separated by a vbNewLine or similar.
How can I do that? Does it need pasting into a rich textbox first before processing?

I am trying this slick way of doing it by the code below ( found on the web) without success so far but I got a feeling I am close to the solution. I am new to any kind of Programming. This is my first attempt. (so a chuckle or two is ok after seeing my "difficult" problem)

The user picks x amount of scenarios from the combobox, and x amount of columns appear in the datagridview. If the user changes the number of columns from x amount to y amount, the columns should be added/removed respectively but currently when y amount is chosen x amount of columns are in the datagridview.
I'm not sure how to do this, I've tried using an IF statement under the .SelectedIndexChanged event but the code adds columns until it reaches as high as it can go, then pulls an error saying too many columns.

I have 12 Boolean values in an array. Each of these values represent a CheckBox in my application. I want my program to output a string, based on each value not selected. Each of these values will have a predetermined string that is different from the CheckBox's caption and will be joined to create a final string. I want to generate all the possible combinations for when there are 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on up to 12 of these options at once. I can better explain my problem through the repetitiveness of the code below.

I have a SQL db that holds the records for my page. On my page I have a details view I want to populate with records from my db. I can populate the records just fine, I need to be able to populate in records based on a user selection from a drop box?To clarify, on my main page I have a drop down list with years (ie. 2011, 2010, 2009), and a drop down containing account codes (ie. six-digit numbers). Based on what the user chooses for the year (for example 2010) and the what they choose for the account code (for example 123456) I want to populate the details view (which is on a seperate page) with only those records from 2010 and with the account code 123456??

Suppose you have an array with 10.000.000 elements filled with values between 1 and 10, and you need to count how many fives it contains, something like:
Dim RandList As New List(Of Integer)
Dim r As New Random
Dim Counter As Integer = 0
For i As Integer = 1 To 10000000
RandList.Add(r.Next(1, 10))
[Code] .....
Here I got 2 problems, both versions are returning different values at each call with the same array, and the sequential ForEach is being executed much more faster than the parallel.

I'm new to VB and my book doesn't explain sequential searches very well. I need help with the application I'm creating for school. My application has to allow the user to enter a number and then it will verify if the number is valid by searching through the list of arrays I provided.The question:Create an application that allows the user to enter a charge account number. The application should determine whether the number is valid by comparing it to the numbers in the following list: (see code)The list of numbers should be stored in an array. A sequential search should be used to locate the number entered by the user. If the user enters a number that is in the array, the program should display a message indicating the number is valid. If the user enters a number that is not in the array , the program should display a message indicating the number is invalid.

I'm working on a new version of something I had created years ago in VB6. What I was doing then is populating a combobox with lines from a sequential file ("title","URL") like this:
Open "data.dat" For Input As #1
Do While Not (EOF(1))
Input #1, NameInput, URLInput
cmbEntry.AddItem NameInput
Loop
And then checking against it on a button click to load the URL associated with the selected name:
Open "data.dat" For Input As #2
Do While (cmbEntry.Text <> NameInput) And (Not (EOF(2)))
Input #2, NameInput, URLInput
Loop
[Code] .....
What I'm trying to do in Visual Basic 2010 is the same process, though I'll be including a third field ("category","title","URL") to determine which one of four different comboboxes I add the entry to. I know I need to use streamreader, but I'm not finding much in the way of documentation or examples on how to do what I'm trying to do, which is:
- Populate one of four comboboxes with the second value in each line of an external text file, based on the first value in that line
- Set a string to the third value in a line of an external text file, based on the second value of that line
How to read these values from the file.

How does performance for reading/adding values from/to Dictionary(Of String, omeReferenceType) depend on the number of records already entered? I mean, does timeincrease as O(1), O(log n), O(n) when n goes to be large, or in some other way?
