Create A Fake Array Using Generics Instead Of Using An Array
Jun 23, 2012
This was an experiment to see if I could create a fake array using generics instead of using an array. I decided to try it, because I may use it if I find any advantages to using it over an array. it works, I am just asking for a second or third opinion, have I screwed anything up, or is there an easier way to accomplish this? If I use it, it will be for a 2D game I am creating, and is used to draw the 2D screen graphics, placing an image based on what image identifier is located at what coordinates. The value stored in the fake array is an integer that disignates the graphic to draw and whether it is passible or not, i.e. 0 = a floor image, 501 = a wall image that is impassible (any image number > 500 is impassable) The Class definition:
I know boxing and unboxing part in arraylist but question is if I define only string in arraylist then there is no question of boxing or unboxing. What will be the difference.
I have an array of people stored in a custom structure array... how can i copy this array to a temp array so that the temp array has all the same values as the original custom array?
I am trying to create the following program Store in a 1d array a set of 5 place names and in a 2d array the distances between the places. Ensure that the order of the places is the same in both arrays. When the names are places are input the distance between them is displayed. If they are not both in the table a suitable message is displayed
Dim town(1 To 5) As String
Dim Dist(1 To 5, 1 To 5) As Integer
Dim First As Integer

I think the best way forward is pass a parameter to the function findnumber.
I want to create an array of an array (or arraylist of an arraylist) to hold strings.I want to fill an array1 with string values Then add this array to array2. - but only taking up 1 row in array2 e.g something like array2(index)=array1 Then clear array1 then loop through this again with different data, and add it to the array2.so will end up with something like
array2(0)... contains a collection of array1 data array2(1)... contains a collection of different array1 data .. and so on
i think i need to make new instances of array1 each loop, but not sure.I dont mind if it uses arrays, or arraylists, or lists, or structure of arrayslists?
I'm trying to create a fake virus for a collegue who keeps changing our desktop backgrounds. I have created a form in vb 2008. It as a window security icon and coule text boxs saying virus has been found, it has 3 buttons (Repair), (Quarantine) & (Ignore) and a progress bar on the form. I have put a timer event on the form too. My question is: How can i get the progress bar to pause at 50% and say files cannot be repaired, once ok is clicked on the pop up msgbox asking to Quarantine items, pause again on say 85% and msgbox say Cannot be repaired, try restart and run anti virus software.
Ive tried making my own array, and ive practically completed it, but it doesnt seem to work. The issue seems to be that it cant convert string to type double. but do not know how to fix the error.[code]...
I've come up with the following and it's partly working.
Public serial1, serial2, serial3, serial4, serial5 As SerialPort Public serialports() As Object = New Object() {serial1, serial2, serial3, serial4, serial5} dComPort = "COM4"[code]....
The above code works fine! But im having trouble trying to now retreive whats stored in the array.In the above example, an entry will be stored in serialports(4), all other array elements will be blank.If I do this it works.
MsgBox(serialports(4).PortName) ' this retuns the value COM4
But I'd like to loop though all array elements and print out ALL the PortNames, The below code doesnt work, I get an error Object variable or With block variable not set.
For i = 0 To serialports.Length - 1 MsgBox(serialports(i).portname) Next
I'm trying to sort an array based on a structure but whenever I do this, it basically erases all the data in the entire array.I have verified that the array is populated correctly, it is when using array.sort that everything returns blank.
I didn't think it fair to post a comment on Fredrik Mörk's answer in this 2 year old post, so I thought I'd just ask it as a new question instead..NB: This is not a critiscm of the answer in any way, I'm simply trying to understand this all before delving into memory management / the marshal class.
In that answer, the function GetByteArray allocates memory to each object within the given array, within a loop.Would the GetByteArray function on the aforementioned post have benefited at all from allocating memory for the total size of the provided array:
Dim arrayBufferPtr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(Marshal.SizeOf(<arrayElement>) * <array>.Count)
I just wonder if allocating the memory, as shown in the answer, causes any kind of fragmentation? Assuming there may be fragmentation, would there be much of an impact to be concerned with? Would allocating the memory in the way I've shown force you to call IntPtr.ToInt## to obtain pointer offsets from the overall allocation pointer, and therefore force you to check the underlying architecture to ensure the correct method is used*1 or is there a better way? (ToInt32/ToInt64 depending on x86/64?)
*1 I read elsewhere that calling the wrong IntPtr.ToInt## will cause overflow exceptions. What I mean by that statement is would I use:
Dim anOffsetPtr As New IntPtr(arrayBufferPtr.ToInt## + (loopIndex * <arrayElementSize>))
I've read through a few articles on the VB.Net Marshal class and memory allocation; listed below, but if you know fo any other good articles I'm all ears![URL]..
Per this UserControl that can be added to a blank form, I would like to use the HorizUnits array below to map custom grid x coordinate from a mouse x position.For a given input value 13, what syntax would I use to obtain a value of 2 where 13 lies between Value 10 and 16 for which 2 (Name) would be the custom grid's displayed coordinate position?
I have a 2d array of data that I have performed the sum of the individual column of the 2d array. I want to send the results to a datagridview and also will like to have the result as a 1d or 2d array.
Below is sample of my code
Dim Array1(,) as double Array1(0, 0) = 5 Array1(0, 1) = 7
I want to reading in a excel file and extract the sCodenumber sDescription ans the sStatus and store them in a array : StatusComposeArray(5200) As MyCompose. After this I need this array for comparing outside this class. But as can you see the array is defined inside the sub: ReadingIn_ExcelFilesCompose [Code]
n my project i am to enter a name and a test mark into two separate text boxes and then select the button to store the information into the arrays, one array for names and another for marks, but when it is reset using the Erase <Array> fuction andi try to re enter information, no matter what information is entered i get a "Null Reference Exception Unhandled" Error.I am using Visual Basic 2008.My code is as it says from now:
Public Class frmAdverageTestMarkCalculator Dim ClosingMsg As String Dim Closingtitle As String
I am writing a pizza order program for class and have gotten everything put together, even got my array setup and displaying but when i go to calculate it will not calculate the values coming from the array in any of the calculations.

I'm using the following code to read in a highscores file with the score written first and the player's name written to the next line, and then display the top 3 scores or fewer if there aren't 3 scores written to the file. A highscores display should have the scores sorted with the highest first so that's what this program tries to implement.
Array.sort() isn't doing a damn thing. In fact, the program's not even reversing the arrays like it should either. I've tested array.sort() this way with the names and scores arrays given explicitly and it works fine. I thought maybe it was still reading the data as string even though it's declared otherwise but it rounds off decimals when I change the array type to Integer so I'm pretty sure it's not that.
I have no idea why reading the data in from a file changes how it's sorted. My teacher didn't understand what was going on either. Does anyone know what's going on here?

Can this be rewritten any better using LINQ? I'm a C#er trying to think in VB.NET for this current project. It's in an ASP.NET Web Forms .vb codebehind:
Public ReadOnly Property AllowedCategoryIds As Integer() Get Dim ids = New List(Of Integer)
I have a Comma Separated value file in .txt format... simply put, its a bunch of data delimited by commas and text qualifier is separated with ""For example:
"So and so","1234","Blah Blah", "Foo","Bar","","","","" "foofoo","barbar","etc.."
Where ever there is a carriage return it signifies a new row and every comma separates a new column from another.My next step is to go into VB.net and create an array using these values and having the commas serve as the delimeter and somehow making the array into a table where the text files' format matches the array After that array has been created, I need to select only certain parts of that array and store the value into a variable for later use.... how to make the array and selecting the certain info out of it..
Assume I have an array myArray1 = { A, B, C, D, E, F, ., T}I have another that contains a subset of the elements of myArray1 but where the order may vary
As per this illustration, I'm trying to increase the size of an existing array from 111 to 114 to be consistent with existing code. I need topreserve the existing values and add 3 new items to the end of the existing array of booleans,

thats just what i have so far but im really having trouble getting the other part into a 2d array. i want the second half to look like this when done: the oppsite of what it looks like in the file.
i have an array contains a-z.Then i have a textbox and when click on the button, it will replace the text inside the textbox to the index number of the array.Example, from "abc" will become "0 1 2" The code below do the job.how to do so that i can replace the text inside the textbox from "0 1 2" back to "abc" based on the array?
Dim txtKey As String = readKeyTxt.Text readKeyTxt.Text = "" For Each b As String In txtKey[code].....

if label1 = RF350022 label2 = Increase label3 = spring label4 = 100%
only if it contains all of these words it should return the first instance (row3) then end or null the rest (row4).how can i get row 3 to show in message box now it has been found?
I have to search within an array and display the number of occurrences that a value within the array appears. I know that my code is incorrect but this is what I have so far. If anyone can point out what I am doing wrong that would be great.
Private Sub btnResult_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnResult.Click Dim intSearchAmount As Integer Dim intCounter As Integer Dim intIndex As Integer
is there is any direct method or function in array class that can check if any given byte array is a subarray of other array?or should i loop through the each byte of main array to see if smaller array exists in that or not?
