I 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 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.

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 have done some code to write to Excel from a String Array of 3 items. These 3 items are written to columns 1, 2, 17 or 3, 4, 17, depending on the value of the 3rd item in the array. For certain Excel files, this is taking too long to write. Is it because I'm writing cell by cell? Is there any other way of writing faster to Excel?
View 9 RepliesI have a listbox that gets populated with files paths based on search terms provided by the user. I want the user to be able to select multiple items on the listbox, and then be able to export the files listed to another folder. See the attached image for what I'm talking about.
The problem I'm having is that I don't know how to take the items selected and turn them into a string array. Everything else I can figure out, but this one has me stumped.

i have 2 forms. in the 2nd form im updating the dictionary. i hav listboxes in form1 as well as on form2, i need to update both the forms with the dictionary values and these values should be displayed in the listboxes everytime the program is run.i had tried updating the listboxes directly from the databses, but this is giving me problems of repetition, so im trying out using dictionary.

I manually edited the file to remove the item where the error is happening and it continues to happen on the next item. If I stop it at 2500 no problems. Could it be to many items in the dictionary maybe.

Can I do anything more or less with IDictionary? How do these two collections differ?

So any ideas on how i could store the items?

Ok I have a project which has a MDI parent. Inside the parent I have multiple isntances of a form load(frmLine1t5). When my program loads it will load a different form(frmSelect) and if I manually load a different form(frmRetests) I can put frmSelect on top of frmRetests and bring one another to the front if it's clicked on(without using the bringtofront method)However as soon as I load a single instance of frmLine1t5 I immediately can no longer bring ANY form loaded into the MDI parent(before or after frmLine1t5 has loaded) to the front. I can only bring them to print IF I use .bringtofront method

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
[Code] .....
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)
For Each pair In matchesWholename
' Display Key and Value.
For Each subpair In pair.Value
Console.WriteLine("{0}, {1}, {2}", pair.Key, subpair.Key, subpair.Value)

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.
Public Function loadGeneral(ByVal fName As String) As Boolean
Dim tempDict As New Dictionary(Of String, String)

[Code] .....
This seems like it should be something very easy to do, but every time I approach this issue, I end up w/ solutions that feel "less than elegant" Here is my basic question: If I am looping through a dictionary that I have ordered in a particular way, within any given point in the loop how can I "peek" or get reference to a dictionary item 'x' places ahead of the current item without changing the current enumerator? For instance:
Dim tempDictionary = New Dictionary(Of String, String)
tempDictionary.Add("TestName1", "TestValue1")
tempDictionary.Add("TestName2", "TestValue2")
tempDictionary.Add("TestName3", "TestValue3")

I have created a class with a function in it. I have a collection of data I want to pass back. I tried an arraylist first. Now I am trying to use a dictionary. My problem is that it creates the dictionary ok, but I am only get the last row of data from my

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
