I use serializer classes for storing data and each class can hold an array of objects for the same class which is a key feature of the class. I declare this array as so:
myClassObjects(1000) as myClass
My question is- can I declare the array as an arraylist so I can sort and count objects in the array(list) quicker and easier and are there any drawbacks to taking this approach?
getting the following error Unable to cast object of type 'System.Object[]' to type 'OrderService.webdirect_WebLinesRow[]'. On the line
webdirect(web_companyID, web_locationCode, web_customerNumber, web_orderNumber, web_orderReference, web_orderDate, webLinesArray.ToArray(), o_Company, o_LocationCode, o_CustomerNumber, o_OrderNumber, o_OrderStatus, o_OrdDescrip, webRespArray)
I created the webLinesArray.ToArray() array as such
Dim webLinesArray As New ArrayList()
Am I missing an additional cast or something ?
1. how do you edit objects in an ArrayList? 2. the code below works ok but is it ok to obtain a reference to an object from an ArrayList and then edit the object?

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

Is it possible to serialize an arraylist of objects into xml?Its damn urgent.Kindly reply.

I have the following code in Class B
FolderList.add(FolderCategory)
when i do a count it display a list of 25 items in the folderlist.Now i have a main class when i tried to use the following method

Console.writeline(MainClass.FolderList.count()) the value reflects as 0 items meaning is empty.i need to retrieve the arraylist from Class B using the MainClass to retrieve those items inside the arraylist.

I'm completely new to VB.NET and this is likely a few steps over my head, but have managed to get myself this far with just Google.I'm reading an XML file and creating an arraylist of classes for the values in there, as seen:

How can I sort an ArrayList of custom objects by public member? Example,If I have a list of article objects, and I'd like to sort the list by the rating member after I've filled the ArrayList
Public Class Article
Public bulletin As String
Public rating As Integer[code].....
Now I'd like to sort uniqueArticles by rating and print articles by rating order.How do I do perform that sort?
I have a group of objects stored in an arraylist. These custom type objects have a number of properties from their underlying class . I want to use one of the properties to sort the array. I cannot determine which Array.Sort method to use.
I want to sort based on an integer property. Virtually every example I can find involves sorting strings.
So, assume the Objects have the following properties.
Obj.name as string
Obj.ID as integer
Obj.Alive as boolean
The objects are kept in an arraylist called FriendsOfMine.
I want to be able to order the list by Obj.ID, both ascending and descending in value.
I have a class called Tree, it has an arraylist called alTreeNodes. alTreeNodes is an arraylist of TreeNode class. Since I am using ISerializable Interface, I have to provide a specific constructor. I know how to write it for string parameters such as name_value, but how should i do with arraylist of object then? See "???" in the code blog before.
Protected Sub New(ByVal info As SerializationInfo, _
ByVal context As StreamingContext)

I'm writing a tabbed web browser for someone who is learning VB.NET, and I have got to the point where I can add/remove browser controls into tab pages, controlled by one set of buttons on the main form, but I can't handle events from the WebBrowser objects.I have tried this but it says that 'DocumentTitleChanged' isnt an event of 'Control'...
Dim browser As New ArrayList
browser.Add(New WebBrowser)
browser(0).parent = TabControl1.SelectedTab
browser(0).dock = DockStyle.Fill
AddHandler browser(0).DocumentTitleChanged, TitleChangedHandler()
I want to update the tab title with the web page title when it changes. I started using a timer to update the tabs but there must be a way to add an event handler here.
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?
Can I create a 2 dimensional arraylist in VB.net?

I want to create an arraylist from MDI childforms and I did it like this:
vb.net
Dim sl As New SortedList(Of Integer, Form)
Dim i As Integer
Dim form As Form
For Each form In Me.MdiChildren
[Code] .....
It's working great, that means that if I delete a childform for example number 2 from all 3 then it creats first number 2 again and then number 4. Now the problem is that It only shows the childformnumber in the parentformtext instead of the name and number of that childform,like this: parentform - childform 1

I need two seperate lists, which every item is Integer, String, Bitmap - and one which every item is Integer, String String. However I don't know how to do this, or even where to look - I've googled for custom objects and custom object lists. What I'm trying to do is this.Custom Object1 is Integer, String, Bitmap Custom Object2 is Integer, String, String
In one thread I'll be adding items to List1(Of Object1), and processing them, and adding the results to List2(Of Object2), however I need to be able from other threads to look at the list and say only give me the items where Integer = (my thread ID), is this possible? Any help, or even links to information that would be relevant to this request would be helpful?
What I am doing is iterating through all the groups that belong to the top group (Generic reports). Then I take advantage of the GroupPrincipal.GetMembers(True) which will recurse through a given group name. I test to see if the user exits under that group and if true I put the group name in an arraylist.
I use the for each principal in GroupPrincipal.GetMembers to loop through each returned user to see if they exist.
Is there a way to put all the returned users Principal.Name from a given group in GroupPrincipal.GetMembers into an ArrayList? This would allow me to to use Arraylist1.IndexOf to search for user. Which would be much faster then iterating through a returned list using the for each construct.
Sub RetAllMbrs(strUser As String)
Dim oPC As PrincipalContext = GetPrincipalContext() '<- this is function somewhere else in the code

What I need to do is read an ArrayList in My.Settings and add another ArrayList to it. The first think I'm trying to do is load My.Settings.Records into myArrayList. I'm not quite sure on the proper way to do this. I've tried things such as Dim myArrayList As ArrayList = My.Settings.Records, I'm not sure if I need New and I'm not sure if I need .Clone or .CopyTo.
Then I have another ArrayList myArrayList2. To get this into myArrayList I've done: [Code] Then to save it back to My.Settings I've done. My.Settings.Records = myArrayList. The problem is I keep on getting Object reference not set to an instance of an object error on the AddRange line. My.Settings.Records is definitely an ArrayList and it will sometimes = Nothing. The objects will only ever be strings.
If I have a large number of classes, each similar to the other in certain aspects (they all share a common base class, but each does things differently), and I need to create Windows forms for each to allow easy changing of their values through a GUI? Create one matching form for each object in VS' forms designer, Or Use code to create the forms dynamically at runtime.
#2 makes the most sense to me, because a lot of these objects will share very common features of the form, notably "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons. But one object might need to draw a textbox on the form while another might need to draw a combobox. Not to mention, if I want to put icons on the "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons, I'd have to do this for each copy of the form in designer, and that sounds like it could get out of hand quickly.But is drawing forms through code sane? VS' forms designer is pretty sophisticated and designed to make life easier. Am I wise to consider ignoring its functionality and diving into the trench warfare of forms design through code? Or are there examples of automating form creation based on an existing object's properties?
I am trying to create a property for objects, though I am not sure if that is what it is called. For example, PictureBox.Image instead of Image I want to use my own property.
