I have a generic List(Of Customer). The customer class has a name, address, and phone number properties. I also have a property of another class that accepts a customer name array. I am able to do this by doing the following:
Dim names As String()
Dim i As Integer = 0
'customer.GetCustomers is a List(of Customer)
[Code]....
Is there a better way to convert this to a string array?
I am trying to avoid every single function affecting my response time.therefore my question is using ToArray while converting generic list to array, does this take significant response time?should I use array directly while building my array within for each or working with list of and then at the endusing ToArray? any difference?
View 1 RepliesI'm writing a program that reads a directory of xml files (not well-formed), parses the xml, and dumps the data into an Excel Workbook.The file contents are similar in that they have many common xml nodes/attributes.Some files have additional nodes/attributes.The xml in these files represent configuration settings for a Web Application, one file per user.The expected output is a worksheet with a column for each node/attribute combination and a row of node/attribute values for each user.I'm just about finished with the program, but I've run into a bit of a snag.As the final step in the process, I need to loop through a generic list of array objects (that represent a user row) and send the array elements to Excel.I don't know the correct syntax to get the array objects out of the list and have been unable to find sample code specific to generic lists of array objects.[code]
View 3 RepliesI have a function that works great in C# that I'm converting to VB.Net. I'm having an issue converting the result set to a generic list in VB.net.
The code:
Public Function GetCategories() As List(Of Category)
Dim xmlDoc As XDocument = XDocument.Load("http://my_xml_api_url.com")
Dim categories = (From category In xmlDoc.Descendants("Table") _
Select New Category()).ToList(Of Category)()
Return categories
End Function
The error occurs when convertng the result via .ToList(Of Category)() The error:
Public Function ToList() As System.Collections.Generic.List(Of TSource)' defined in 'System.Linq.Enumerable' is not generic (or has no free type parameters) and so cannot have type arguments.
Category is a simple object I've created, stored in the App_Code directory.
I have the necessary "Imports System.Collections.Generic" reference in the file so I don't see why I can't convert the result set to a generic list.
I have a Generic.List(Of ImportedVehicle) - ImportedVehicle being a simple class as below.There is an enum property which is marked as public.When I serialize to XML using an XMLSerializer, the enum's value is just set to it's default value (which is NotAllocated) and doesn't actually represent the value that is set in code.[code]

We are currently converting a larger legacy application from .Net1.1 to .Net2.0, both VB. Our new standard is Generic List, instead of arrays.We are recoding component by component. And while not everything is yet stored in generic.list we end up with compile time errors.Converting from generic.list to array is supported with myGenList.ToArray().But from array to generic list isnt that easy."Value of type '1-dimensional array of something' cannot be convertet to 'System.Collection.Generic.List(of something)"I know for sertain that the array consist of the type 'something', so an runtime exception converting is ok.Is there a good way to do the workaround untill the hole application is recoded?

I have the follow code in my program where I hit a SQLCe database to append the results into a list. That part works, but instead of exiting the function 'QueryDB' it goes to the else statement and runs the function again, which will return a null value. I designed it this way becuase I wanted to check to make sure the database is open before I try to execute the SQL statement, and if it's not open, call the method to open it and run through the function again.

I am trying to do a conversion of a sting to an array name. I have a few arrays called "f2250", "f2255", "f2260" and so on. When a user enters say 2.50 into a textbox, the program needs to be able to reference the f2250 array. Now ive managed to sucessfully code the creation of the string ie "f2250(1)" (Ive added the (1) as a test to refrence an index). How can I use that string to now return the value that is in the array? Does the string need to be converted into something else?

I'm trying to convert a large array to a string, and then back into the array again after sending it over a network connection. No problems with that, but to keep my string as small as possible, I want to convert each array element into a single byte. I know that each element is going to contain a number no bigger than 100, so there will be no problems keeping them all 1 byte long. Problem is, I can't find the correct conversion commands. I think I should use 'Chr' to convert them into a string, but I can't work out how to convert that back into a number at the other end.

I get the error: 'Number of indices is less than the number of dimensions of the indexed array.'I seem to get this error alot in my programming but don't exactly know what causes it. Even if I can fix this error I heard that Join only works for string arrays so this wouldn't work anyway.
I am working on a mini project that requires me to take a 8 byte hex string that I received from the Serial Port and convert it into a Byte Array and display it on the screen.An example of the string that I receive is 01050001FFFF8FFB
I am currently using the System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(str) to help me achieve this. However I realised that if this does not support extended ASCII so whatever byte that is > 7F, I will not get the right value.My current code is as follows:

Private Sub SerialPort1_DataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles SerialPort1.DataReceived

When voice is recognized it converts the recognized string into an array and checks if the first or last value of the array is either computer or the Bot's Name. However, I am still very new to VB.NET only been programming in it for a few days. (I know ASP and VBscript really well though) When it goes through the check I get an exception how do I fix this?

So, I'm creating an array of labels. I have labels set up as:
labal1
label2
label3
etc...
I've declared the array as such:
Dim labelArray(5) As Label
Now, instead of assigning the labels one by one to the array (labelArray(0) = label1, labelArray(1) = label2, etc...), I was hoping to use a loop (there will be more than 5 labels). I have something like this, which obviously doesn't quite work:
For i = 0 To labelArray(i) = "label" & i Next
Is there a function that I can use to convert the labelName string to an object, or have vb.net see that as an object instead of a string?
I'm calling a Windows API that gives me a byte array which represents a unicode string - the problem is that if I call Text.Encoding.ASCII.Get String on it I just get the first letter of the string. The reason for this is that byte array has an empty byte between each character. I've verified that removing these empty bytes resolves the problem by just using a simple For loop to add the bytes that do have a value in into a new byte array, then calling Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString on that and that gives me the full string I'm expecting.I'm just wondering if there is any easier way of getting the working string though without having to do a loop and create a new byte array etc?

For Each item In TheString
b(bCount) = Asc(item)

I have the following function,
Dim results() As Object = Me.Invoke("webdirect", New Object() {Company, LocationCode, CustomerNumber, OrderNumber, OrderRef, OrderDate, WebLines})
o_Company = CType(results(1),System.Nullable(Of Integer))
o_LocationCode = CType(results(2),String)
o_CustomerNumber = CType(results(3),String)
[Code] .....
So the return type of this function is a string, but I would like to get it back to its original form so I can access the individual sections i.e. o_LocationCode,o_CustomerNumber, etc how can I do that ?
Entire functions looks like this
Public Function webdirect(<System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(IsNullable:=true)> ByVal Company As System.Nullable(Of Integer), <System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(IsNullable:=true)> ByVal LocationCode As String, <System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(IsNullable:=true)> ByVal CustomerNumber As String,

Dim returnArray As String
returnArray = client.webdirect(10, "123", "123", "123", "147", "2011-11-1", webLinesArray, 10, "", "", "", "", "", webRespArray)
No errors on run time but the string seems to be just blank, thats why i was wondering how I convert the string back to the array so I can access the individual elements.
