Is there any difference between & and + operators while concatenating string?if yes, then what is difference? And if No, then why below code generating exception?
Example:
Dim s, s1, t As String

Is it from a sight of resources reasonable to use a StringBuilder already to concat two strings or is there a minimum concatenation operations that makes the StringBuilder efficient?
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to compose a String from multiple Strings, where some of the Strings may be in Arabic letters, the problem is that when I concatenate them, their order is being messed !!
For example, I have the following Strings:
Ref1
مسكه
2
Left
I want to concatenate them with the same previous order seperated by "-", but instead I get Ref1-مسكه-2-Left, as you can see, 2 is written before مسكه Does anyone know how to fix this problem, because it's really important in my case to have the exact same order, and I don't know where or when I might have these arabic strings, because it's being entered by User.
I just looking how to use LINQ for grouping a list.
Class Item
Public col1 As String
Public col2 As String
Public col3 As String
Public description As String
[Code]...
Using VB.net and the following LINQ statement. I suspect the "Order by" does not work with Concat(). I want to list the current item the user has and then list more available items in asending order. So first i select the current item from the db and then select the next available items in order. LINQ is ignoring the order by statement and sorting by the PK (which is itemID) I examined the list immediately after executing the statement. When I break up the statement and do them separately they work as predicted.

How do I concat combo box data. E.g. value in combo box 1 is "L1" and value in combobox 2 is "03". How do I combine them together into L103? Part of the code looks like this.

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?

In VB.net, I tested concatenating 100k strings and found out one thread alone did it in 23 milliseconds. Two threads (each concatenating 50k) then joining the two at the end took 30 milliseconds. Performance wise, it didn't seem beneficial to utilize multiple threads when dealing with only 100k concatenations. Then I tried 3 million string concatenations and two threads each handling 1.5MM always demolished one thread handling all 3 million. I imagine at some point using 3 threads becomes beneficial, then 4, and so on. Is there a more efficient way to concatenate millions of strings in .NET?
fyi, this is the code I wrote:

When I am concatenating object values together to form a string in VB.NET, is there a difference in performance or a recommended best practice between using the & concat or the + concat with calls to .ToString() on each object?

Dim result2 As String = 10.ToString() + "em"

I've got a small app which I use to start a 3rd party application. When run from a shortcut the VB app starts the 3rd party app to and when loaded it displays its own file/folder interface, the VB app the closes itself. However, if you open a file in explorer associated with the 3rd party app, the 3rd party application loads and opens the file itself and not the file/open interface.
Uh OK, so what's the problem??The issue is I have changed the file extension associated with the 3rd party app to now use my VB app. I can successfully open files with the app from explorer if there are no spaces in the file or folder path however if there are, the 3rd party app opens and displays a File not found error message and gives the path up to the point where the space then follows.The relevant snippets of code from the app relating to the issue is below, specifically Dim Arguments variable where I am not quite sure how my string cocantenation should be to deal with the value of the variable 'Filename' which may or may not contain spaces.

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

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;

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?
