When you use array.length you get the size of the array and not the number of items in it.
For example:
Dim MyArray(10) as String
MyArray(0) = "Potato's"
MyArray(1) = "with"
MyArray(2) = "salt!"
MyArray.Length will return 11
How do I get the number 3? I am creating a class library so it's kinda hard to keep testing all kinds of methods until I get the right one .
I've got some old code of mine that I'm going back to and updating a little bit. On one part of it I need to check if there are any items in the recycle bin or not.
This is the code I was using to accomplish this:
vbcode
Private Declare Function SHQueryRecycleBin Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "SHQueryRecycleBinA" (ByVal pszRootPath As String, ByRef pSHQueryRBInfo As SHQUERYRBINFO) As Long
Private Structure ULARGE_INTEGER
[Code]....
The msgbox and end is just in there for debugging purposes. This always returns all 0s, even when I know that there is something in the recycle bin.
I'm trying switch from using arraylist to arrays. Seams like arrays are not as easy to use when you don't know the size of the array.
Is it possible to use an array without having to specify the size of the array like in this example?

When you have a single dim array, you get number of items in with simple Ubound(array). What is the most efficient way, to get number of items in each "column" in 2 dimensional array? My code (part):
.NET
Public Shared LoopStock()() As LoopStockDef
Public Structure LoopStockDef
Dim EntID As Int32
Dim LoopNo As Int16
Dim LoopType As String
Dim loopStPtX As Int32
[Code] .....
You can't Ubound multidimensional array as you can do with single dimensional array, as the second dimension can have different number of items in each column (DimX in the following table)
DimX | (1) | (2) | (3) | (4) | (5) |
-----------------------------------------------
DimY | | | | | |
(1) | 45 | 41 | 15 | 48 | 49 |
(2) | 35 | 26 | 98 | 15 | 31 |
(3) | 12 | 23 | 36 | 69 | |
(4) | 88 | | 26 | 28 | |
(5) | 74 | | 89 | | |
(6) | 36 | | 25 | | |
If you do
.NET
UBound(LoopStock, 2)
You get size of 2nd dimension, not number of items in the table for particular column. The best solution which comes to my mind is to define another array, a multidimensional counter, like
.NET
LoopStockDims() As Int16
And count every added item for each column. Is this the best way?
I am trying to program the hamming code in vb... theoretically i understand and know how to do everything, first problem I've encountered is dynamic arrays in vb.net ... is it possible to determine the length of an array from the number of items entered in it, since I have no means of figuring out an exact number or length prior to several mathematical function which outcome will be the data .. directly saved to the array !!
View 4 RepliesI need to write a program that requests a high number and a low number from the user, then the program searches the array and finds all elements within the two numbers. The program is used to search for past presidents, so if I type 43 for low number and 44 for high number, the program will display:
George Walker Bush
Barack Hussein Obama
I think I have an idea of how to search up to a certain point, but not to stop at a certain point....Here is the code that I have for that particular sub procedure:

What is the maximum size of a multidimensional array in VB.NET (in my case two-dimensional)? I'm using Visual Studio 2008, Framework 3.5 I found in msdn [URL]: "The length of every dimension of an array is limited to the maximum value of a Long data type, which is (2 ^ 64) - 1. The total size limit of an array varies, based on your operating system and how much memory is available. Using an array that exceeds the amount of RAM available on your system is slower because the data must be read from and written to disk." However, I am trying to use an array of data type single, with dimensions 64513 by 301 but Visual Studio seems to freeze when I execute the line to redimension the array ( Redim myArray(64513, 301) ). I have 4Gb of RAM and am using Windows XP (32-bit).
View 5 RepliesI have a program that will compare an array of grocery list items glist and an array of coupon item clist.When I compare the two and if there is a match somewhere in the array I want to have a picturebox visible.When there is no match, I want the picture box not to be visible. [code] The code seems to work great until I come to the else statement.When the code finds a match it displays the picture box and the msgbox without error, but as soon as the message box is cleared, even though i've input it as an ELSE statement, the picturebox goes false again.Does anyone have any idea of how I can "hold" the picturebox to stay visible while the match between the arrays exists?

I have to fix this by making a variable with type made by Structure bullet and then redimming it, i.e

This means for every variable with the bullet type i create i have to redim. Is there a way i can set the size of .mesh with .capacity for every single variable created with the bullet type automatically?
I am upgrading a project from VB6 to VB.NET. Unfortunately, I cannot include the DLL or even the name of the DLL that I am using here, I am under a confidentiality agreement. However, I hope I can post enough info here to get this frustrating problem solved.
In VB.net: Code:
So, if I run it as such, it errors out while calling SetParameters saying
The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG))
If I comment out the line m_Parameters.SProperties = New S_Properties(9) {...}, then it does not error out, however the function returns 0, which means it did not actually set the parameters to the device. Trying to ReDim SParameters(9) will also give the hresult error. Doing it with my example above, I put a watch on m_Parameters in both VB6 and VB.net and they look IDENTICAL. All data is the same. Why would I get this ArgumentException in VB.NET and not in VB6 when I am passing in the exact same arguments as in VB6?
I'm attempting to get the size of a bunch of files located in a directory with an array. Using a single file, it works great. But as an array, I get an error. This is the code I was using:
VB .NET
Dim filepath() As String = Directory.GetFiles("C:Test", "*", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
Dim lvi As New ListViewItem
Dim fi As New FileInfo(filepath.ToString)
[code]....
It works... kind of. It adds each file to the ListView, when I just want the whole sum. I was hoping I could just use "DirectoryInfo" from the System.IO namespace, but everything I've been reading says I need to loop through the files.
I'm using extension methods based on an array and I would like to know if there is an easy way to check that array got a specify size instead of me doing a copy paste of
if array.count != 1000
throw new exception "size of the array does not match"
