Can I do anything more or less with IDictionary? How do these two collections differ?
View 5 RepliesI have the following web method:
<WebMethod()> _
<ScriptMethod(ResponseFormat:=ResponseFormat.Json, UseHttpGet:=True, XmlSerializeString:=True)> _
[Code].....
I wanted to use HttpGet here so that the result can be cached.
I tried every variation of calling this, but no luck. Is this possible with GET?
To be able to sort a dictionary by value I'm using this code:
Dim idCurrentJobs As IDictionary(Of String, Int32) = New Dictionary(Of String, Int32)
'The string in the dictionary represents a jobname and the integer is a counter for how many jobs im currently are running in the application'
idCurrentJobs.Add("JobName1", 2)

I am looking to write the contents of a dictionary to XML. I have written the dictionary contents to a string as i have been told it is easier to write from a string to XML instead of from a dictionary. But im not sure if this is correct?
Is there any way to write this to XML from the dictionary or string?
How does performance for reading/adding values from/to Dictionary(Of String, omeReferenceType) depend on the number of records already entered? I mean, does timeincrease as O(1), O(log n), O(n) when n goes to be large, or in some other way?
Dim index As New Dictionary(Of String, SomeReferenceType)
' N entries added in a loop

In VB.NET, how can I convert the following string into some kind of key/value type such as a Hashtable, Dictionary, etc?"Name=Fred;Birthday=19-June-1906;ID=12345".I want to extract Birthday or ID without having to split the string into an array.I'd prefer not to split the string into an array in case the format of the string changes later.I don't have control over the string.What if someone switches the order around or adds another element?
View 6 RepliesI need to do some comparing and shuffling of fields, (I come from a more PHP background and working with arrays is completely different, as suggested after reading many things here I know VB.NET uses list and Dictionary easier. I have a dictionary (of string, dictionary (of string, string)) which is filled well, but after I try to read it out, it's always empty....
Below I fill a few things. The var I am talking about it
fillDictionary inside the matcheswholename VALUES part.
I fill up the fillDictionary and add it to the matchesWholename
After which I clear it, because it is in a loop and more is to come.
Dim matchesTotal As New List(Of String)
Dim fillDictionary As New Dictionary(Of String, String)
Dim matchesWholename As New Dictionary(Of String, Dictionary(Of String, String))
Try
If ds.Tables("matchesWholename").Rows.Count > 0 Then
For Each dr As DataRow In ds.Tables("matchesWholename").Rows
[Code] .....
When later I try to readout like this, it returns nothing....I am actually sending a copy of the filldictionary into it or not? or does my clear() method clear what's inside it?
Dim pair As KeyValuePair(Of String, Dictionary(Of String, String))
Dim subpair As KeyValuePair(Of String, String)
For Each pair In matchesWholename
' Display Key and Value.
For Each subpair In pair.Value
Console.WriteLine("{0}, {1}, {2}", pair.Key, subpair.Key, subpair.Value)
Next
This code has changed and will be applied to another question
View 3 RepliesI was wondering if it is possible to write both the dictionary key and all records associated with the value to string?
However i only get the output of the Key and one item in value (service status)
What is the difference between:
Dim s As String
and
Dim s As [String]
tell me what the difference between:
as string AND as string() ?
I have a dictionary that I want to access with a key that is the combination of a string (AcctNum) and a date (BalDate).It seems to me the simplest approach is to create the key by simply converting the date to a string and concatenating:MyKey = BalDate.ToString & "|" & AcctNum
I know I also have the option of creating a composite key by writing a separate class and overriding GetHashCode() and Equals() a la this solution. To me, the concatenated string is a simpler, if somewhat less elegant, solution. Am I missing some compelling reason why I should go with the composite key class approach?
This lookup is the crux of the project I am working on, so performance is my main objective (with readability a close second).
So I had a smart idea to make a dictionary with all my variables so I could save them easily in chunks. This includes String, Boolean and Integers. When I was in Framework 3.5 I only had a few warnings about stuff that I didn't have coded in, but now in Framework 4 I am maxing out all my warnings with Implicit conversions. Personally I don't want to go to every number and put quotes around it put quotes around "True" because then it may change the method.
Public Function loadGeneral(ByVal fName As String) As Boolean
Dim tempDict As New Dictionary(Of String, String)
For Each kvp As KeyValuePair(Of String, String) In GeneralSettings
Dim v1 As String = kvp.Key
Dim v2 As String = QuizZing.My.Settings.GetSetting(fName, v1)

I have a simple routine to find the next object based on a name property in an un-ordered collection of objects. I go through the collection and collect all the names in a List(of String) adding any names that are > my current name, which should give a list of everything that comes after the current key. I then sort the list using the default .Sort() method on the List(of String) and take the first item in the list, which should be my next item. I do the reverse to find the previous item, add all items < my current name, sort, and take the last item in the list.
However, this method skips over some items. For example I have items named 1210, 1210-ADA, and 1210_ADA_DB. Using this method, getting the next item skips the middle item 1210-ADA and finds 1210_ADA_DB, but finding the previous item seems to work.

I need to remove an instance in a class for which I also created a dictionary with a string key type. Like this...:
vb
'Declare dictionary
Public PersonsList As New Dictionary(Of String, Person)
'At the bottom of frmMain.vb
[code]....
As you see, I end having 120 instances of the class Person, each assigned with a string key consisting in "student1" to "student120".
At other parts of the program I repeatedly refer to PersonsList("student" & n) to set values at those class entries, mainly with a For n ... Next block.
Now... I need a routine to remove one of those instances for good, including its entry at the dictionary, so my first bet is this...:
vb
Public Sub ExpellStudent(ByVal student_index As Integer)
PersonsList.Remove("student" & selected_student_index)
students_count -= 1
End Sub
I assume this is good enough to remove the KVP at the dictionary AND the class instance proper... right?Well, even if that is ok, I foresee one problem... Let's say I removed "student46". Next time I run a For n = 1 to students_count I would bet that I'll receive an exception due to having a gap at "student46" KVP... and that without saying that students_count will be 119, so it will never reach "student120".In short, I need a way to reassign the KVP of the now 119 Person entries, so they're consecutive again (I don't care about them changing their string key values), so I still could use my For n = 1 to students_count ... Next blocks without problems... but I cannot figure out how.
I have a LINQ2Entity problem, I want to get the value, string, from a database, so I select FProducts.Serial_number, and to end the query, I do .ToDictionary. The problem is, it tells me that it doesn't have sufficient parameters, to convert ToDictionary. So I need something like select FProducts.Serial_number, Nothing). ToDictionary. Also FProducts.Serial_number, 0).ToDictionary doesn't work.
Sub GetStatistics(ByVal ProductNumbers As List(Of String), ByRef Passed As Integer, ByRef FailedProducts As List(Of String))
Passed = 0

Whats the function for converting a string that contains a class, into a class?for example
Public Class Desk
Public GetVar=1
End Class
Dim T = "Desk"
Dim Furniture = New T
What do I have to do to T to make it into a class from a string?
I can't make difference between public class and private class and friend and protected friend class.
View 1 RepliesI have a question regarding the some data which is being transfered from one form to my class. It's not going quite the way i'd like to , so I figured maybe there is someone who could help me.
This is my code in my class

I've got a form with a textbox( form1) in which the text is being inserted and passed through a buttonclick (al via properties).As you can see I've placed several traces and in the property of the class my trace works fine , however if I look in my Draw function it is already gone.
I have database with class names listed in string field. I want to circle thru records and call certain class.

Dim aClass as New ds.tblClass("ClassName")
Do something with aClass...

View 3 RepliesI had a problem with CLR profiler. But it worked eventually and the results were outstanding. My app took 47 milliseconds to run before and after some adjustments CLR profiler runs in 6 miliseconds! This had to do with String values in a resource file which apparently takes a lot of time. So this got me thinking, isn't it more effective if you would declare 1 String at the top of your class and constantly change it throughout your code? Instead of creating a new String in a method when you need it.
Instead of using:
Dim text = "blalblalba"
You would do this everytime you needed a string:
text = "blalbla"
My question is... What exactly happens when you say text = ""? Does .net create a new String? It looks like you replace the text but what happens in the background? Would it be faster then declaring a new string?
Is there any way to set max string length in a class used in a VB.NET web service so it gets into the WSDL as a maxLength attribute?

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.
