C# - From A List<object> , ToString() Them Just When They Are Primitive Types Or Have This Method Overridden??
Feb 15, 2011
Given a list of objects, I'd like to print a string version of them just in case the object.ToString() result is a relevant string.By that I mean I don't want to get things like:
obj.ToString() -> System.Collections.Generic.List`1[MyLib.Dude]
obj.ToString() -> System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.Int32,System.DateTime]
obj.ToString() -> System.Byte[]
But I want to get things like:
obj.ToString() -> Hi
obj.ToString() -> 129847.123
obj.ToString() -> Id = 123
What should be the best way to implement this in a method:
Public Sub PrintInterestingStuffOnly(ByVal coolList as Ilist(Of Object))
For Each obj in coolList
'insert solution here

Is there any class or specific method for getting non-primitive types in an assembly? FieldInfo.Gettype() will do for primtive types but what about non-primitive types?

I'm trying to code a class of RandomNumber. One of the class methods needs to populate a "List (Of RandomNumber)" ... which was passed as a parameter to the method ... with 10 random numbers between 1 and 50. DEAD SIMPLE :)

during some code conversion from another persons VB.net project to C#, i have come across the following code:
[Code]...
Now m trying to convert this to C#, but im a little confused as to exactly the meaning of this line:
If lbytRelayStateMask And (2 ^ lintCounter) Then It appears there something going on behind the scenes (that ill have to examine further) however before i do i would just like to clarify the result of this if statement. Am i correct in saying if either one of the sub-expressions equals zero then its false, otherwise its true? Sorry, im not too up to speed on VB.net.

addressing the need for getting the bytes of an object. But I am wondering if there is an approach to calling BitConverter.GetBytes on a generic type where I know the type is a primitive (Int32, UInt16, etc).
Public Sub Foobar(Of T as Structure)()
Dim x as T 'Assume T is declared as Int32
Dim y() as Byte
y = System.BitConverter.GetBytes(x)
End Sub
The above will throw your usual error:
Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'GetBytes' can be called with these arguments:
'Public Shared Function GetBytes(value As Double) As Byte()': Value of type 'T' cannot be converted to 'Double'.
'Public Shared Function GetBytes(value As Single) As Byte()': Value of type 'T' cannot be converted to 'Single'.
[code]....
One solution I think would work is a large Select Case calling GetType(), but that is horrendously slow (because of boxing) and looks ugly. I would think that since I call my higher level class with a primitive data type for T, that the compiler would be smart enough to figure it out, but I assume I am not providing enough information for it to derive what T's underlying value is at compile time for the invoked instances.

I have nine pictures that I need to animate -I need to use the ToString method and a counter to concatenate a file name into a string variable from the Image.FromFile method. Once the counter reaches its maximum value, and the last picture is displayed, the counter should be reset to zero or one depending on how the first image file has been name. Also a static counter variable should be incremented in the time routine. what I have so far -- I know what I have to do; however, I just do not know how to code this properly.. Right now I have this going thru a button procedure but it needs to go through a timer.

Is it possible to extend primitive types such as System.String and System.Int32 (IE: integer) in .Net 4 and if so how?
To be more specific, I am aware of the concept of partial classes but this doesnt seem to be the answer. Also I find that System.String is not inheritable and Int32 is a structure.
Lastly I am interested in knowing both a VB.Net and C# answer to the above question.

primitive types (integer, string, etc) are now classes. However to access the value of the class you just use the object name (ex, x=y). It isn't necessary to refer to a property of the class (x.value = y.value).

I have a class with a Property called 'Value' which is of type Object.Value can be of any type, a structure, a class, an array, IList etc.My problem is with the setter and determining whether the value has changed or not.This is simple enough for value types, but reference types and lists present a problem.For a class, would you assume that the Equals method has been implemented correctly, or just assume that the value has changed every time the setter is called?If I did assume it's changed, then perhaps I should assume it for value types as well, so that the behaviour is consistent.

In VB.NET, it is entirely possible to pass an integer as a string parameter to a method without calling .ToString() - it's even possible to call .ToString without the ()'s. The code will run without a problem, VB will interpret the integer as a string without having been told to. In C#, these would cause compilation errors - you are required to call .ToString() and to call it correctly in that situation before it will compile. Is there a way to make the VB compilation process check for the same things as the C# compilation process? Would it be best practice in a mixed team to force this check?

My existing function takes datatable as input parameter which contains little bit large data (eg. more than 35000 rows) and in that function I am appending some xml node data and atlast I am returning the stringbuilder as a object.

I am facing an amazing problem in my application. On my Developement server when I am running my application, then there is one function where I am trying to put whole stringbuilder contents in a string object. This Function is used for paging the reports.For that I am using a method of Stringbuilder.tostring() and when I chek the value of this statement (stringbuilder.tostring()) it shows no such interface is supported, which later on throws exception of system is out of memory. Here i am using .net 2.0 framework and sql server 2005 database.But when I run the application on stagging server then there is no such exception thrown.[code]

I am having some trouble creating an object array of different object types. Here is what I have so far:
Public Sub New()
Dim b1 As New Book("Book Title 1", "Gold Book Publisher", 1.0, "Bob Jones", "192DJDJD212", "01/02/10")
Dim b2 As New Book("Book Title 2", "Gold Book Publisher", 1.0, "Bob Jones", "192DJDJD212", "01/02/10")
Dim b3 As New Book("Book Title 3", "Gold Book Publisher", 1.0, "Bob Jones", "192DJDJD212", "01/02/10")
[code]....
If I define the array As Book (Public publicationArray(6) As Book) or Magazine (Public publicationArray(6) As Magazine) I am able to access the properties of that class but not both. I think I need to define a type for each array instance but not sure how to do this.

After reading all the examples for list of T exists and Find and find first, none show how to handle multi-property objects. Below is bare bones example maybe someone could flesh out to show how this should be done.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim DatePriceList As New List(Of DateAndPrice)
DatePriceList.Add(New DateAndPrice(Date.Parse("1/1/2000"), 10.12))
DatePriceList.Add(New DateAndPrice(Date.Parse("1/2/2000"), 11.12))

Limited to using v2.0 of .Net framework (we use VB.net) due to environmental constraints on our servers.I've got an ASP.net webpage which pulls data from a webservice that performs checks on user accounts in active directory. Operators can check multiple accounts at one time using the web interface. The webservice returns a list(of AccountCheck) objects which themselves contain single properties like username, email address, and List(of AccountError) objects which contain multiple properties.[code]What I want to do is using some kind of repeater, create multiple panels or divs which contain labels showing the username, email etc, and a gridview which has the accounterror list bound to it to show all the errors. The users could be checking 2, 5, 7 accounts at once, and is dynamic.

I understand that different data types have different uses, String for text, Integer for numerical ect. However, if the Object type can be used for ALL types and supportive of everthign then why should i worry about using correct data types such as string and integer if i can just use "Object" for them all and it will work.I could do
Dim Test as Object = "John"
or i could do
Dim Test as String = "John"
They both do the same thing; there must be something very important im missing here but can only think of one thing that it could be; Memory Management.I think that by using a type such as object may take up more memory than using string?

I am building an ASP.NET application that needs dynamic tables. That's another issue that I've already posted about (and gotten a pretty good response!). Now, I'm running into another issue - I want to add new rows to my table, but given that I will have 10-12 tables on one page, each containing different objects in their rows (text boxes, check boxes, etc.) I need a way of simply generically adding a new row that has the same objects as the first row in the table. Here's my code:
Private Sub AddTableRow(ByRef originalTable As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Table)
Dim originalRow As System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableRow = originalTable.Rows(1)
Dim insertingRow As New System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableRow[code]......
Stepping through with a debugger, I see that this strategy is working - but the additional table row still doesn't appear...and still does when I do this statically.
