I'm having problems binding 2 combo boxes to a generic dictionary, this is what i have done so far
Dim cb As ComboBox = sender
Dim name As String = cb.Name.ToString
Dim dict As New Dictionary(Of String, List(Of String))

You have a pseudo-table class and a pseudo-row class. The row is somewhat generic and has no strongly-typed fields. It follows the typical dictionary interface
Dim age As Object = person("Age") 'accessed via default property Item
vs
Dim age As Integer = person.Age 'an actual property typed as an Integer
What's the pattern to use so that we can bind our pseudo table and its rows to a grid or combo box?
Dim rs As New clsResultSet(tblPeople)
Dim id As Object = rs(0)("Id") '913
Dim name As Object = rs(0)("Name") 'Ted[code].....
I've done data binding to my Combos and it works fine but my data base has over 260 000 entries, so I can't let user to move trough it, one by one entry until finds a match.What I am looking for is that user select value from Combo Boxes and Text Boxes get filled in with a matching values from the same row.Auto Complete helps in selection but I still can't work it out how to get values to my text boxes.

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.
Here's the simplified version of my code:

So as the name states; I am a newer coder.
This is the code i have:
Public Sub RandomNumbers()
Dim s(4) As String
Dim RandomNumber As Byte
I don't know if you can tell what I am trying to do here, so I will try to explain. I what to create for random numbers and place them into for different text boxes. I also would like to do this with combo boxes and their selected indexes. So if the combo box has 10 items in it; the new selected index would be the random number generated above.
I'm in the middle of creating an application that will be used to input customer information whilst the customer is speaking to someone over the phone. This involves the customer giving the employee information such as name, address, postcode etc and the employee inputting that information into text boxes and combo boxes that are in the application.
What I would like to be able to do is after the customers information is given over the phone, I need to be able to send that information to a database which will probably most likely be done by button click. In this case, I'm using Microsoft Access. I'm also hoping that I can do this within Visual Basic coding.
The database is set out with multiple tables which include a customer table and a ticket table and both have multiple fields such as first name, surname in the customers table. Both of these tables are in use with the information that the customer gives over the phone.
I've already asked on other forums and people are where replying giving me third party programs that I could use to implement this, something I don't really want to do.

View 4 RepliesI am developing a program that makes it easier for users to log on to a website and search for specific data. I have the first portion finished in which I have a form with the Ax Web Browser control.
The web browser control navigates to a local website and automatically logs in for the end user. This is done by using code which automatically fills in the username and password and then submits the form to logon using something similar to this: WebBrowser1.Document.Forms.Item(, 0).elements("txtUsername").value = "user"
Once logged on - there is a search page which contains a combo box and list box. I am trying to set specific values for the combo box and list boxes.For example - the combo box on the website is titled: cbxDate and contains the following values: Today, Yesterday, This Week, This Month.
A list box titled: lstArea contains the following values: Zone A, Zone B, Zone C, All.I am trying to figure out if there is a way through code to select, in this example, "Yesterday" in the cbxDate and "Zone B" in the lstArea on the webpage.If anyone knows of a solution, please feel free to let me know. Be advised that I am using the Ax Web Browser Control.
I am getting an error when i try to populate some combo boxes with a value, the combo box has values in and the right amount the code is getting the right number.
the error msg is "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
I have a generic class called SessionManager to control the types of variables I store in session. I have been doing it for String, Integer, List(Of T) without any issues like this.
Public NotInheritable Class SessionManager
'''<remarks>
'''Private constructor to prevent instantiation of, or inheritance from, this class.
[code].....
I would like to do the same for Dictionary(Of T, T). I would like 2 generic private methods for Dictionary(Of T, T) for getting and setting; GetFromSessionAsDictionary and SetInSessionAsDictionary. (When nothing returns empty dictionary like the List(Of T) properties and sets in session) And this should allow me to create as many public properties of Type Dictionary (e.g. Dictionary(Of String, String), Dictionary(Of String, Integer)) as possible to store in session.
EDIT:This is what I have ended up doing after trying to make it generic Dictionary(Of T, T), and it works without any issues. What I want instead is a solution that would not constraint the type to Dictionary(Of String, Integer).
Private Const _Dictionary1OfStringInt As String = "DICTIONARY_1_OF_STRING_INT"
Public Shared Property DictionaryOf As Dictionary(Of String, Integer)
Get
[code].....
You can do this
Code:
Dim Test() As String = {"Stuff", "Stuff", "Additional Stuff"}
Is there a way to do that with a generic dictionary? Also, is there a name for that?
As I am beginner in LINQ, I have small problems. I have dictionary of Char and Long, and I would like to use LINQ to retrieve Char with highest Long Value. I saw some C# samples, which look pretty easy, but I can't achieve such expression in VB.Here are two expressions, and I don't think they are most efficient possible.

I have a mutable class that I'm using as a key to a generic dictionary. Two keys should be equal only if their references are equal. From what I've read, in this case, I don't need to override Equals, GetHashCode , or implement IEqualityComparer.

View 3 RepliesI have a Generic Dictionary contained or nested as a child in another Generic Dictionary. I need to be able to access the child dictionary objects by key. When I attempt to do this I get the following error:
"Value of type 'System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair(Of String, String)' cannot be converted to 'System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary(Of String, String)'."
So it seems that the contained Generic Dictionary is being returned as a Generic KeyValuePair when accessed via a key as opposed to iterating through the parent dictionary in a For/Each loop.
The first section of the sample works OK (using a key to access a string value in a dictionary).
The second section of the code works OK (iterating through the dictionary values in a For/Each).
The third section of the sample is where the error occurs (using a key to access a nested generic dictionary...see underlined code).
Dim td1 As Dictionary(Of String, String)
For Each thisKey As String In td1.Keys
Debug.Print(td1(thisKey))

If i wish to put items into a System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary, I can either Add or set the Item.I know if you do Add it helps you check if the key already exists and if not it throws an exception.Now I'm curious, so if I'm adding a ton of items, should I prefer setting Item instead of Add since Add does unnecessary checks that may actually slow things down?
View 3 RepliesIs there any reason to favor one of these approaches over the other when inserting into a generic dictionary with the possibility of a key conflict? I'm building an in-memory version of a static collection so in the case of a conflict it doesn't matter whether the old or new value is used.
If Not mySettings.ContainsKey(key) Then
mySettings.Add(key, Value)

Recently started working with VB.NET, and I'm just playing around with the controls and everything. What I want to do, is populate a drop-down list or a combobox (on program load) with data from a dictionary. I'm used to php, so I tried a for each dictionary.items as newitem combobox.items.add(newitem) but I can't get it working. Can someone give me an example of this? And what if i wanted only the key to show in the drop-down, and the corresponding value shown on a label besides it when I make a selection?

What I would like to do is bind a combobox to my own object which is as follows:
Public Class Categories
Public Sub New(ByVal myConn As SqlConnection)
Dim myConnection As SqlConnection = myConn
myConnection.Open()
[code]....
(I have put breakpoints and I know this object has data.)So on my form how do I bind my combobox to this object? The code I have is below:
Dim bs As New BindingSource
bs.DataSource = New Inventory.Categories(myconn)
cboCategory.DataSource = bs
cboCategory.DisplayMember = "Description"
cboCategory.ValueMember = "CategoryID"
but it returns the following error: Cannot bind to the new display member. Parameter name: newDisplayMember
So I have the following
With Me.dgv
.AutoGenerateColumns = False
.DataSource = Info.PESList

View 1 RepliesI am having a problem setting up my combo box to pull its menu from a SQL Server table and store to the main data table.Currently my drop down list displays correctly but saves 'System.Data.DataRowView' to the data table. My main data table is called 'Survey' with staffname as a column, then I have another menu table of staff member names which populates the drop down menu.I found that when I remove the DataSource and populate the Items collection instead the combo box saves the correct value as expected but when I use the datasource it saves the words ''System.Data.DataRowView',[code]

View 3 RepliesI am trying to create a WPF browser application that allows you to search and display recipes. The combo box presents choices, the Ingredients display in one list box and the "cooking" instructions appear in the other list box. What's happening is the first time you make a selection from the combobox nothing displays, and this could be happening because the first line of code under Selectionchanged clears the List Boxes however, it should be populating those list boxes with content, shouldn't it? Anyway, as you make other selections List boxes 1 & 2 get populated but they do not match what displays in the Combo box, i.e. if you select "Easy Taco Dip" any random recipe might appear in List Boxes 1 & 2.

I was having a heck of a time populating a gridview combo box.I learned a ton in the last 48 hours but would really like to know the answers to the bottom three questions.You guys are the experts, so I'm hoping you will enlighten meBut the summary of it is below:I was never able to get the ComboBox to bind to the data source. I tried everything until I turned blue. So I went to the basics and coded all the automatic stuff. I'm curious as to why the automatic binding didn't work. Perhaps its because my gridview datasource was LINQ.Here is how I pulled it off. I hope someone down the road benefits from the last 48 hours of my delima:First of all, know that I have two drop down lists on my form, one is the GPField and the other is the BankField. These are already populated DDLs that are static. So I used them to cheat on the values instead of using enums.
Sub fillGPFieldListDDL(ByVal obj As Object)
Dim db As New CompanyDataDataContext
Dim myConn As New Connection With {.ConnCls = ConnCls}

i am using a couple bound comboboxes in a bound datagridview. It seems though, when the combo's are changed, and the tableadapter is filled again, the changes are not being saved to the table. Is there a special trick to getting the data in the combo boxes to saved when the values are changed?
View 4 RepliesI have two combo boxes: cboRepairCategory (plumbing, landscaping, etc) and cboVendors. I am using Stored Procedures in SQL to store the data from my database and then load them into the combo boxes.The cboRepairCategory will be loaded first. Once the user has selected what type of repair it is I want it to restrict the amount of vendors that can be selected, so instead of saying:CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.up_Fill_Vendor_Combo
AS
SELECT VendorID, CompanyName
FROM Vendors
[code].....
I would select only the vendors that have the RepairType of say Landscaping, so thecboVendor would load now only Vendors with Landscaping instead of all vendors.My question is this: Is this done in SQL in my Stored Procedure or is it done in VB in my functions for my combo boxes. I've never tried this before I am totally lost on it. I have fiddled with the code on both ends but to no avail.
