What I need is to be able to put in a SortedList a combination of two fields that are non-unique, but the pair is (like database composite keys).More precisly, i have my list, and i want to be able to do this with it
Dim myList = New Generic.SortedList(Of String, String)
myList.add("aaa","aaa")
myList.add("aaa","bbb")

I am using VB .Net to access the eBay API and store all completed orders in a database. This database is then fed into a proprietary shipping system, which can not handle an order number larger than 20 characters. eBay returns an order number like so 230407279314-680141236013 which is too long. The order number is always 12 numbers a hyphen and 12 more numbers. What I need to do, is turn this (the result can be alpha numerical) into a shorter, unique order key to store in my database alongside the true orderId (so that this can be referenced by the shipping software instead of the actual order number). The reason for the 20 character limit is the barcode algorithm used. Is there any way to achieve this in VB .Net 2010? This number can be anything unique, so long as it does not exist already (even a good uniqueid function would work, but I would have to query the database to make sure it isn't taken)

I have a text box that accepts an 8 digit hex encrypted string and adds it to a listbox1. Then I have a button that when clicked takes the string from listbox1 and
1) reverses the string
2) subtracts 235
3) Converts it back to a 9 digit number
4) Adds it to listbox2 using the
Private Sub decrypt_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles decrypt.Click
Dim i As Integer
Dim buffer As String = ListBox1.Items(i)[code].....
However something seems to be wrong because it get an arithmetic overflow exception.
I want to add only unique items into the list box.I am using lstListBox.FindStringExact(strKey) it works perfectly. But I have large number of strings and it is taking too much time. It also make the CPU uses 100%.

View 3 Replies1) SortedLIst has a GetKey property: you ask for the nth key in the sorted list of keys and you get it. SortedList(of TKey, TValue) does not have this kind of feature. Why not?
2) SortedList stores values as "object." Is this a less memory-effective method to store values of Double than SortedList(of TKey, TValue)?
I am going to have a series of numbers, I want to count how many times each unique number exists in the results.For example if I have this string" "1, 2, 3, 5, 3, 7, 1" I want to know the number 1 appears 2 times, the number 2 appears 1 time, the number 3 appears 2 times, the number 5 appears 1 time, and the number 7 appears 1 time.I want to load this up into a datagrid each unique number will be stored in a column named acct the number of times the number appeared in the string will be stored in a column named numref?

As a non .net programmer I'm looking for the .net equivalent of the old vb function left(string, length). It was lazy in that it worked for any length string. As expected, left("foobar", 3) = "foo" while, most helpfully, left("f", 3) = "f".
In .net string.Substring(index, length) throws exceptions for everything out of range. In Java I always had the Apache-Commons lang.StringUtils handy. In Google I don't get very far searching for string functions.
Edit:@Noldorin - My first encounter, although it took me several seconds to do the same in c#:
[Code]...
Note the static class and method as well as the this keyword. Yes, they are as simple to invoke as "foobar".Left(3). See also c# extensions on msdn.

I realize the code listed below, whose serial port using string formatting which I inherited is complicated. It formats a Date obtained from a DatePicker control into a "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" string format to send to a hardware device to be stored via Serial Port retrieves the date from the device and displays to user What I'm trying to do is port the code for use in a Socket rather than Serial Port which wants a Byte Arrray of the same Date Time string variable. I can't figure out how to encode and convert to Bytes the string value used in the Serial Port version. The evolution of the process is listed from top to bottom.

I want to create a VB.NET function that will take a string containing accented characters and convert it into the non-accented equivalent. My particular requirement is associated with non-English names. Some real examples are timac, Huki, Bttcher, Bj¸rnbakk, rnrohr and Synneg. I would want to convert those examples to Stimac, Hukic, Bottcher, Bjornbakk, Furnrohr and Synnevag, respectively.I am aware that a(with an umlaut accent) is often replaced by 'ue' but replacing it with u is better for my purposes. Similarly, I want to replace with o, rather than 'oe'. I am assuming that all the required conversions will need to be hard-coded in the function.Are there any slick ways to write such a function, ideally preserving the capitalisation in the original string?
View 12 RepliesI want the Function to accept List(Of String), Array & String and similarly return List(Of String), Array & String respectively. The Function simply adds a string (month) to the input collection. I just want to use it for string, array and list with needing to think of conversions.

I want to extract the link from the string i.e. dog cat plane car [URL]..that is approximately how it looks above - words and url substituted I want to just extract [URL]..I had an idea of parsing the string from http: to the end Then after that splitting the string up again to remove the }], however it does not return anything
