Is it possible to have a 2 dimensional array of a type struct such that the size of the last dimension can vary by element of the first?eg:-structure mydatadim param1 as integerdim param2 as byteend structuredim main_array(100,10) as mydataThen at anytime change the size of the last dimension like...redim main_array(10, 5)redim main_array(15,7)leaving all other array entrys' last dimension unchanged and independent??VB2005 starter
i am in the process of learning myself VB.net (2010 dotnet 4 )And am a litte confused in whats the best way to program what can be called an array.i want to have an array that looks like this,
{{"aap", 1}, {"noot", 2}, {"mies", 3, "boom"}, {"vuur", 4, 7}} now i tried to declare
Structure MyInformation <VBFixedString(4),System.Runtime.InteropServices.MarshalAs(System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanagedType.ByValTStr,SizeConst:=4)> Public ReturnStatus As String
I just made a multidimensional array that was 1024 x 1024 x 1024. I get an OutOfMemory exception. What is the largest size multidimensional array that is safe to use? I'm doing this in VB.net so all .net answers are acceptable.
EDIT
When I said safe, I mean, a good size for just about any computer. What size would run smoothly on a 32bit operating system. I didn't realize that the 1024 size was 4G. I'm hoping for something a 16th of that.
I tried hashtables, dictionary, lists and arrays in .net, all I could get is a simple key=>value array Is there a simple solution if not, is there a class or something for this?
Currently, I am working on a personal project of mine to create a Pokemon Battle Simulator, mainly because I wanted to see if I could. I have created a multidimensional array used to hold all the information needed for each Pokemon I add (Currently it is only two Pokemon) The code for this is as follows:
I'm looking for something similar to using vectors and pointers that I've used before in C++; unfortunately, it doesn't seem like there's an equivalent function in VB.net.What I have is a copy of the array behind a multi-line Rich Text Box, and I need to separate the words from each line (or element of the array) so I can analyze each one separately.In C++ I would do something like this, so I could continuously expand as needed:
EDIT: SI have a web service which uses a class of functions in order to return data used in various business processes (via InfoPath). One of the functions takes a given SQLCommand object and executes it into a SQLDataReader. Now depending on the SQL command text used this may return one or many rows of one or many columns. So what is the best class for this function to return bearing in mind it needs to be serialized by the web service.
My existing code is: Dim array As New ArrayList Try
Is there any way to create a multidinensional array that contains arrays of different lengths (similar to nesting arrays of different lengths in python).
Because if I were to declare a variable Dim accounts(2,2) As Integer all 1D arrays at each dimension have the same length. Is there any way to create an array so that this is not the case?
e.g The above code would create an array like this: [[0,0],[0,0]] but would it be possible to create this: [[0,0],[0,0,0]]
If I dim an array to say, 5 elements, should it not fail if I go to add a 6th? I thought this used to require a redim. In .NET 2.0, I have a character array of length = 3. When I populate it from the db, one record had 4 characters in it and it successfully added all 4 characters to the array?
I need to store elements in a multidimensional array. Specifically, I need to save "tiles" to a grid (e.g.Grass at x:2 y:5, Dirt at x:3 y:5, etc.). Using a multidimensional feels very hacked up and is very glitchy (having to resize my arrays and having to create new ones were they are non-existant). Is there some kind of element made for this? Something I can say obj.getPos(2,5) and get my Grass Element and use obj.setPos(DirtObj, 3, 5) to set it to my Dirt Element?
I'm just wondering if there is something easier to use than multidimensional arrays in vb.net, that is all.
I'm currently developing an editor for an AFL management sim.I want to be able to load three or four multidimensional arrays to the program, then save them to the same file. I tried the tutorial on here but got completely muddled up. Why can't it be easy like in VB6 When it was like 10 lines of code tops!
I have an integer that is storing the result of a division between two numbers. I usually receive an result that looks like 5,2496874654. How can I limit the variable length so it looks more 'approximated', like 5,25?
Me and my coworker were discussing variable names today because we both have completely different naming conventions...but we were wondering is the a limit on the length of the variable name??? is it posible to do this: dim
ItsPeanutButterJellyTimePeanutButterJellyTimePeanutButterJellyPeanutButterJellyPeanutButterJellyWithABaseBallBatPeanutButterJellyPeanutButterJellyPeanutButterJellyWithABaseBallBat as string = "lol"
I need to truncate to sertain amount of decimals for example : dim x as double;x= 6.98455 textbox1.text = x that mean textbox1.text= 6.98455 I need textbox1.text= 6.99
I'm trying to call the GetInterfaceInfo Windows API - it accepts a structure as one of its parameters and this structure has a member that is an array. The API populates the contents of the array when it is called and there can be any number of items in the array. How can I define such an array in my structure?
If I just use a normal .NET array like so then the program just crashes (no exception thrown)
<StructLayoutAttribute(LayoutKind.Sequential)> _ Public Structure IP_INTERFACE_INFO Public NumAdapters As Integer
[Code]...
and this works fine, but the problem is I have to define the SizeConst attribute as you can see to something large (64 in this example) so that the API doesnt fail because the array wasnt big enough. Firstly this is a waste of memory as in most cases the number of items the API sticks in the array will be less than 10, but secondly if there was ever a case where the API wanted to put more than 64 items in then it would fail.
Using ReDim to set the length of the array at runtime seems to have no effect, and that SizeConst attribute has to be set to a constant value so there's no way I can dynamically set it.
I try to determine the lenght of a string variable, but get the wrong outcome when using: testje = Len(testSTR). When I insert the following line of code: testje = testSTR.Length the answer is still wrong but when I click "Length" I see the correct value. How to get at that value, so I can use it?
I have a problem when debugging a code. On top of class I declare an array, and the length of array is an integer variable which is applied value below declaration of array.
E.g. class declaration Dim array1 (2, integer) as string Public Sub integer = 5 End Sub
So basically, array is created with integer being 0 or whatever, because it is declared before integer was assigned a value. But the problem is, I need it to be declared at class variable so I can use array in different subs.
I am wanting to create 2 tables called Stores and Locations. Locations is a table containing a unique location_code and a location. Stores is a table containing a unique store_code a store name and a variable number of location_code's and a relationship is set up between the 2 tables.
creating the Stores table in particular the location_ code. Can rows in a table have differing numbers of columns? as a particular store type could be in many diferent locations. I feel it should be possible to set up some sort of array of Location_code's in the Stores table.
Using VB or C#, I am getting a string of variable length from the database. This information is sensitive information that only certain users will be able to see.I have two cases that will use the same logic (I think).scenario 1: replace all characters with xscenario 2: replace all characters with x except the last 4 characters (assume length > 4 - this check is being done).I thought that this would be easiest using Regex.Replace(input, pattern, replacestring). As opposed to a lot of string handling with substrings and forcing a length of 'x's.
While using the Socket.Receive method to receive messages through network, you should define a variable as the buffer and you have to specify the length like this: Code: Dim _ReadBuffer As Byte() = New Byte(LENGTH) {} My question is: What is the bad thing about increasing the length of this variable even if the received messages are sometimes shorter? (i.e. if some body let it 10000).
I have an existing vb.net application which uses a home grown database. The database has over 60,000 unique multi-field records in it.The user can search in each field using drill-down to find a record, and then can add that record to a separate database.(60,000 collectibles described in a master database. User can drill down by category, manufacturer, year produced, etc. to find a record and then add it to their own 'collection', 'wanted', 'have for sale', or 'spares' database for record keeping.)
Instead of having them drill down, I would like for them to be able to perform a search and have all of the results (any amount of matches from 1 to 60,000+) appear on a scrolling form with a checkbox next to each so that they can simply check any that they want and do a mass add to their list databases.
The part I cannot figure out is how to have vb.net (2008) create a variable length scrolling form with the results, and how to identify the checkboxes (generated by the system for search matches) to see which, if any, have been checked by the user.
