I'm having trouble using an arraylist with an object. [code] The arraylist Phrase gets populated with 4 objects (WordObject) filled with the word "Fox".The arraylist AnotherPhrase gets populated with strings "The", "Quick", "Brown", "Fox".Why does the Phrase Arraylist do that? Shouldn't there be 4 objects each with different words?
View 3 RepliesI want to create an array of an array (or arraylist of an arraylist) to hold strings.I want to fill an array1 with string values Then add this array to array2. - but only taking up 1 row in array2 e.g something like array2(index)=array1 Then clear array1 then loop through this again with different data, and add it to the array2.so will end up with something like
array2(0)... contains a collection of array1 data
array2(1)... contains a collection of different array1 data
.. and so on
i think i need to make new instances of array1 each loop, but not sure.I dont mind if it uses arrays, or arraylists, or lists, or structure of arrayslists?

Also, what is the difference if you put the () with the variable name or with the type? I see sometimes

I was wondering if there is a way to get an arraylist returned from strings.split as opposed to a 1-D array. I can't seem to find how to do it.
View 1 RepliesSpeed is critical in my application. As of now, I'm using an ArrayList to store a list of Strings and I use BinarySearch functionality of ArrayLists to search for an item. Would I be able to do this faster using String Collection and a for loop?
View 22 RepliesI want to save some strings in a Session("myKey") as an ArrayList in my asp.net application.
So I have somthing like that:
Dim s As String = "String1"
If I use
Session("myKey") = s
it is working for the moment.
After PostBack I want to add another string to the session.
If do the same thing again, then i will overwrite my Sessiondata.
So I'm searching for something like this:
Dim s As String = "String1"
TryCast(Session("myKey"), ArrayList).Add(s)
In this case the Sessiondata would be stored correctly, but my code is not correct.
Say I have a List(Of Tag) with Tag being an object. One member of Tag, Tag.Description, is a string, and I want to make a comma-separated concatenation of the Description members.Is there an easier way to do this than to read the Description members into a List(Of String) and then use the Join function?
View 2 RepliesWhat I am doing is iterating through all the groups that belong to the top group (Generic reports). Then I take advantage of the GroupPrincipal.GetMembers(True) which will recurse through a given group name. I test to see if the user exits under that group and if true I put the group name in an arraylist.
I use the for each principal in GroupPrincipal.GetMembers to loop through each returned user to see if they exist.
Is there a way to put all the returned users Principal.Name from a given group in GroupPrincipal.GetMembers into an ArrayList? This would allow me to to use Arraylist1.IndexOf to search for user. Which would be much faster then iterating through a returned list using the for each construct.
Sub RetAllMbrs(strUser As String)

I have an arraylist (arrFirstArry) which I use to populate another arraylist (arrNoDuplicates) preventing any duplicates from being added. This works fine. What I would also like my code to do is prevent adding any partial values which may exist from being added. i.e. my array is like this

What I need to do is read an ArrayList in My.Settings and add another ArrayList to it. The first think I'm trying to do is load My.Settings.Records into myArrayList. I'm not quite sure on the proper way to do this. I've tried things such as Dim myArrayList As ArrayList = My.Settings.Records, I'm not sure if I need New and I'm not sure if I need .Clone or .CopyTo.
Then I have another ArrayList myArrayList2. To get this into myArrayList I've done: [Code] Then to save it back to My.Settings I've done. My.Settings.Records = myArrayList. The problem is I keep on getting Object reference not set to an instance of an object error on the AddRange line. My.Settings.Records is definitely an ArrayList and it will sometimes = Nothing. The objects will only ever be strings.
s there a difference between the arraylist in visual basic and arraylist in C#? I had to convert some C# code to VB and there is a call I make in a third party api that requires me to pass in an arraylist. When I do this in C# it works just fine, but when I do this in VB, I just get back a vaque exception from the api.
[Code]...
The exception I get is very vague and comes from the API. All i get is, "ARException Occured".
I am working on a UDP Client/Server, and currently i have them sending back and forth strings, which i convert to bytes, and then open the bytes to read. I want to now send an Object instead of those strings, which includes multiple unsigned integers and strings.
View 39 RepliesI have a list of strings. For each string in that list, I want to prepend another string. I wrote a method to do it, but I was wondering if there was something already in .NET I could use to do this. It seems like something that could be built in, but I was not able to find anything.
Here is the method I wrote:
Private Function PrependToAllInList(ByRef inputList As List(Of String), ByRef prependString As String) As List(Of String)
Dim returnList As List(Of String) = New List(Of String)
For Each inputString As String In inputList
returnList.Add(String.Format("{0}{1}", prependString, inputString))
[code].....
It works, but I would rather use built in functions whenever possible.
I'm migrating from VB6 to VB.NET, in hence my questions below:
I have to write a function that returns array of strings.
How can I initiate it to empty array? I need it since I have to check if it's empty array after it returns from this function.
Is list of arrays better for this purpose? If I use a list - Is it empty when it firstly defined? How can I check it it's empty?
I have been looking for examples to find the string between two strings. This top one works fine;
Public Sub ReadData(ByRef keywordStart As String, ByRef keywordEnd As String, ByVal filename As String)
Using reader = New StreamReader(filename)
[Code].....
Now the first one is fine - Ext_Volume is result of the string between the strings <Volume> and </Volume>. <Volume> and </Volume> are unique so this is straight forward.
However the second one - "^FDExp:" is unique, but "^FS" is not unique. There are occurances of "^FS" before and after "^FDExp:".
How do I get the string to search AFTER the occurrence, not before etc?
Dim str As String
Dim str2 As Array
str = "blabla duhduh"
str2 = str.Split(" ")

Is there an easy way to find a certain string within a string and then return the strings that you find as an array?I have written this:

Dim StringStartposition As Integer
Dim StringEndPosition As Integer
Dim Currentposition As Integer = 1

I am having a strang problem with button event handlers that I am creating at runtime.Actually if I set the form as startup form everything is working fine but when I set the main apllication form as startup form the events for buttons created at runtime are not firing.I am posting the code so that you can have a better look and see whts wrong?I have two classes under spotlight here "Class1" and "Grid"I am creating an instance of grid in class 1 and in a sub in grid I am creating buttons dynamically as follows and adding event handlers

Dim btn As New Button
btn.Name = ds.Tables(tblName).Rows(i)(btnName).ToString

I have several combo controls that need to be populated with a specific ID and name. I want the user to choose the name and have the ID in the background. Later when the data is exported from the database the specific ID's are exported and not the names.
I see that I can create the items in the combobox rather easily using their names. However, how can I associate the ID number for each of the items. Private Sub frmReceipts_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
' Add receipt types to combo box
cboReceipt.Items.Add("Monetary")
cboReceipt.Items.Add("Inkind")
cboReceipt.Items.Add("NSF")
End Sub
I thought it would be better to have a seperate table with the different receipt types and then somehow connect/link the contents of this new table to the combo box on this form. However, I am at a loss on how to do this.

I tried binding a DataGridView to a DataSet using the DataSource property but no data appeared in the DataGridView. I placed a DataGridView in an empty form, making no property changes except for the name. I did not create columns in the DataGridView. In the form's load event I placed the following code for loading a dataset named ds Executing in debug mode, I confirmed that there was data in that dataset. No column headings or data appeared in the DataGridView. What am I doing wrongly? There are 34 fields (columns) in the DataSet - maybe it exceeds the capacity of a DataGridView.

I have a DataGridView that has some columns with dates. It binds to an in-memory Datatable which gets loaded from an string array of data passed back from the backend Some of the rows returned have nulls for the date columns. Solution 1: If I define the Date column in the DataTable as "string" I can easily convert those nulls to empty strings and display it in the grid as empty strings (desired results). However, if the user clicks on the date column header to sort by date, it doesn't order the rows as you want. You get a purely string sort order. Not acceptable

How do I add rows that have already been populated. I saw a param that took an array. I have 8 columns, so would I need 8 elements in my array when I add them I have the code:

I am adding items to a combobox through user entry and need to save them, so when I close the application down, they will reappear when again opened.
