I am looking to write the contents of a dictionary to XML. I have written the dictionary contents to a string as i have been told it is easier to write from a string to XML instead of from a dictionary. But im not sure if this is correct?
Is there any way to write this to XML from the dictionary or string?
This code has changed and will be applied to another question
View 3 RepliesI was wondering if it is possible to write both the dictionary key and all records associated with the value to string?
However i only get the output of the Key and one item in value (service status)
i want to know how to manipulate the data from a Public ListD As New List(Of Dictionary(Of String, String))meaning read/write I've tried with ListD.Add("string_as_key", var_as_value) but it haven't worked?

In VB.NET, how can I convert the following string into some kind of key/value type such as a Hashtable, Dictionary, etc?"Name=Fred;Birthday=19-June-1906;ID=12345".I want to extract Birthday or ID without having to split the string into an array.I'd prefer not to split the string into an array in case the format of the string changes later.I don't have control over the string.What if someone switches the order around or adds another element?
View 6 RepliesI need to do some comparing and shuffling of fields, (I come from a more PHP background and working with arrays is completely different, as suggested after reading many things here I know VB.NET uses list and Dictionary easier. I have a dictionary (of string, dictionary (of string, string)) which is filled well, but after I try to read it out, it's always empty....
Below I fill a few things. The var I am talking about it
fillDictionary inside the matcheswholename VALUES part.
I fill up the fillDictionary and add it to the matchesWholename
After which I clear it, because it is in a loop and more is to come.
Dim matchesTotal As New List(Of String)
Dim fillDictionary As New Dictionary(Of String, String)
Dim matchesWholename As New Dictionary(Of String, Dictionary(Of String, String))
Try
If ds.Tables("matchesWholename").Rows.Count > 0 Then
For Each dr As DataRow In ds.Tables("matchesWholename").Rows

When later I try to readout like this, it returns nothing....I am actually sending a copy of the filldictionary into it or not? or does my clear() method clear what's inside it?
Dim pair As KeyValuePair(Of String, Dictionary(Of String, String))
Dim subpair As KeyValuePair(Of String, String)

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.
[Code]...
I have a dictionary that I want to access with a key that is the combination of a string (AcctNum) and a date (BalDate).It seems to me the simplest approach is to create the key by simply converting the date to a string and concatenating:MyKey = BalDate.ToString & "|" & AcctNum
I know I also have the option of creating a composite key by writing a separate class and overriding GetHashCode() and Equals() a la this solution. To me, the concatenated string is a simpler, if somewhat less elegant, solution. Am I missing some compelling reason why I should go with the composite key class approach?
This lookup is the crux of the project I am working on, so performance is my main objective (with readability a close second).
So I had a smart idea to make a dictionary with all my variables so I could save them easily in chunks. This includes String, Boolean and Integers. When I was in Framework 3.5 I only had a few warnings about stuff that I didn't have coded in, but now in Framework 4 I am maxing out all my warnings with Implicit conversions. Personally I don't want to go to every number and put quotes around it put quotes around "True" because then it may change the method.

Dim tempDict As New Dictionary(Of String, String)

I have the following object:
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)
The best result I could get was:
Lookup(of MasterCategory, Dictionary(of Date, Integer))
From:
countDictionary.ToLookup(Function(o) o.Key.MasterCategory, Function(o) o.Value)
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 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.

View 3 RepliesI 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 have a LINQ2Entity problem, I want to get the value, string, from a database, so I select FProducts.Serial_number, and to end the query, I do .ToDictionary.

Also FProducts.Serial_number, 0).ToDictionary doesn't work.
