Let's say I've got: Dim los1 as New List(Of String) los1.Add("Some value")
Dim los2 as New List(Of String) los2.Add("More values")
What would be the most efficient way to combine the two into a single List(Of String)?
Edit: While I love the solutions everyone has provided, I probably should have also mentioned I'm stuck using the .NET 2.0 framework.
For example, I have string variable (MyString) as below.MyString = "First word || second order || third example || fourth item || fifth stuff"
There are separator "||" at MyString variable. I want MyString variable is spited based on separator "||"and stored it into new array variable.
Could you advise me the most efficient code to do this job in VB?
I 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 combine multiple lists of items into a single list, retaining the overall order requirements. i.e.:
1: A C E
2: D E
3: B A D
result: B A C D E
above, starting with list 1, we have ACE, we then know that D must come before E, and from list 3, we know that B must come before A, and D must come after B and A.If there are conflicting orderings, the first ordering should be used. i.e.
1: A C E
2: B D E
3: F D B
result: A C F B D E 3 conflicts with 2 (B D vs D B), therefore requirements for 2 will be used.
If ordering requirements mean an item must come before or after another, it doesn't matter if it comes immediately before or after, or at the start or end of the list, as long as overall ordering is maintained.
This is being developed using VB.Net, so a LINQy solution (or any .Net solution) would be nice - otherwise pointers for an approach would be good.
Edit: Edited to make example 2 make sense (a last minute change had made it invalid)

I'm trying to solve a problem regarding types of list. First of all I have a stored procedure in my DB which does a select of a single column and I try to proceed it in my app in VB. By making a method function I declared a DataTable that loads through the SqlCommand(with the CloseConnection behavior). After that I publicly declared a List(Of String) which needs to be populated with the rows/items from the stored procedure that is on the way. Below is my snippet of the code:
Dim dt As New DataTable()
Try
If conn.State = ConnectionState.Open Then
[Code]....
It's LPrefix = collection.Cast(Of String)() where I get an exception error telling me that I can't really convert it. The old fashion way is to iterate with for/for each loop but that's not what I want for best use of performance especially if the list will have thousands of rows from a single column. So basically, I want to insert those items from that DataTable to the List(Of String) without For/For Each loop.

The intention is to convert an IList of custom objects to a string equivalent comprising each element in the Ilist. Unfortunately I can't seem to find a way to get the underlying data of the custom object, and of course as in the above example, using object simply gives me a string of types definitions, rather than access to the underlying data.
I have two List(Of String) both containing several hundred thousand results.
Private Function AddUniqueFiles(lNewFiles as List(Of String)) As outList(Of String)

Dim files As New inList(Of String)

However the time it takes to do this comparison can be very long indeed - is there a better way of doing this type of comparison... All I am trying to do is add values from List2 in to List1 which are not already present in List1 - So in effect adding new Unique values found in List 2 in to List 1. I am only looking for performance improvements - nothing else.
I have a List(of String()). I have written a custom comparer (implements IComparer(of string)) to do an alphanumeric sort.Is there a way to sort the List using a given index to determine which position in the String() to sort by? In other words one time I might sort by Index = 0 and another time by Index = 3. The length of all String() in the list is the same.For reference this question is similar to Sort List<String[]> except I am using VB.net and that question is hardwired to Index=0.
EDIT from OP's comments:I started simple with the non custom comparer but I am getting an error: expression does not produce a value. Not sure what I am doing wrong.Here is the code:
Public Shared Function SortListOfStringArray(ByVal ListOfStringArray As List(Of String()), ByVal SortByIndex As Integer) As List(Of String())
Return ListOfStringArray.Sort(Function(x, y) x(SortByIndex).CompareTo(y(SortByIndex)))
End Function
It seems that when using With blocks in VB.NET, the resulting MSIL larger than w/o. So this leads me to ask, are With Blocks really more efficient? MSIL is what gets JITed into native machine code, so smaller code size should imply more efficient code, right?

I am working on an application that will need to read tons of records (close to 500,000) from one table and insert them into another set of tables in the same database. I though about using SSIS package for this but our DBAs don't want to use that. Now, I am thinking of a multi-threaded approach. I am thinking that I can have a few thread started that will read say (500) records at a time and insert them, then come back and read more.
Now, say I spawn off 3 threads of this application. The first thread reads 500 rows and starts processing them. Can I lock these rows that were already read so that the next thread does not pick them up? I am trying to find some articles regarding this on the internet, but perhaps I am not searching for the correct terms in Google.

I have a Page class and a PageCollection class in a 3d party ORM framework. I can fill the PageCollection based on parameters (pageid, parentid, url etc..) (SQL query). But I need the data multiple times around the ASP.NET MVC website (Sitemap, Authentication), so I chose to load all pages 1 time and reference that (global) collection.
GlobalClass.Pages //is PageCollection containing all pages
I have now created functions which return a temporary subcollection or single entity based on the parameters mentioned before (pageid, parentid, url etc..).
GlobalClass.Pages.GetByPageId(id) //returns single page entity
GlobalClass.Pages.GetByParentId(parentid) //returns subcollection
The site however got very slow.
cache the subcollections (GetByParent())? create internal hash-lookup tables for the collection? Something else...?
