I have a Dictinary(Of String, Item) and I'm trying to sort it into alphabetical order by the item name. I don't want to use a sorted dictinary and without it, I've having zero luck. Linq is not my strong point.

I want to group items from a linq query under a header, so that for each header I have a list of objects that match the header title. I assumed the solution would be to use ToDictionary to convert the objects, but this allows only one object per "group" (or dictionary key). I assumed I could create the dictionary of type (String, List Of()), but I can't figure out how to write it. As an example I have written a simplified version below.
[Code]...
I have the following object:
countDictionary As Dictionary(of Category, Dictionary(of Date, Integer))
The Class has a Enumeration Property. For the purposes of demonstration, I'll call it MasterCategory.I have been trying to get out an object that looks like the following:
groupedCountDictionary As Dictionary(of MasterCategory, Dictionary(of Date, Integer)
The best result I could get was:
Lookup(of MasterCategory, Dictionary(of Date, Integer))
From:
countDictionary.ToLookup(Function(o) o.Key.MasterCategory, Function(o) o.Value)
Which results in a IEnumerable (Of Dictionary(of Date, Integer)) for each MasterCategory value.However, I need that IEnumerable of Dictionary flattened to one dictionary with all the integers summed (total counts) for each date. I then tried to use various selects and group bys (from numerous stackoverflow posts) to "flatten" it, but my efforts have fallen short.
Current Code
[Category Class]
- MasterCategory As Enum
- Name As String etc

I have created a Dictionary class (MyDictionary for the example). I am currently trying to pass MyDictionary into a function, filter it into a new instance of MyDictionary and pass this new instance into another method. When I am attempting to create the second instance from the filtered first instance of MyDictionary via Lambda Expressions and the ToDictionary Method, I am getting the following error:
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.Int32,System.String]' to type 'MyDictionary'. I have simplified the example and recreated it in LINQPad and am getting the same error.
Here's the simplified version of my code:

I need to place objects of various types in a "collection" and be able to:
1) Change the value of a property on any of the objects by using it's key.
2) Read the objects in the order they were placed in the "collection"
3) Read the objects in the reverse order they were placed in the "collection"
My findings so far:
1) Collection won't work because Item property is read only
2) It seems that Hashtable and dictionary won't work because I cannot iterate through them in reverse order.
3) Stack won't work for obvious reasons.
Is there a collection like data structure that has satisfies the requirements?
I have a dictionary with the keys being integer and the values being string. I was wondering how can I sort the dictionary in DESCENDING order using its keys.

I need a simple LINQ query on VB.NET on the dictionary [Code] What I need here is to retrieve a SINGLE website (dictionary value of string type) or NOTHING (if the query cannot find an affordable result) given those rules: The dictionary key (integer) must be greater than startSite and not equal to mainSite or returnSite (both must be excluded from the result) Any hint?

How to avoid for loop (Dictionary Array) using LINQ
View 1 RepliesI've got a Dictionary(Of SomeEnum, Integer) that gets filled up while looping through some objects that have a property with type SomeEnum. Once the loop is done, I want the SomeEnum type that occurs the most in the list of objects. I also need the other counts as well for display purposes, hence the usage of a simple Dictionary(Of K, V).I am looking for a LINQ query to give me back the SomeEnum key that occurs the most by looking at each keys number of occurences. Or perhaps there's an easier way of going about it.I could do this:
Return (From kvp As KeyValuePair(Of SomeEnum, Integer) _
In Me.MyObjects Order By kvp.Value Descending _
Select kvp).First().Key
But wouldn't the sorting be a more expensive operation than trying to wiggle Max() in there somehow?

I don't know if this is doable, maybe with Linq, but I have a List(Of MyType):
Public Class MyType
Property key As Char
Property description As String
End Class
And I want to create a Dictionary(Of Char, MyType) using the key field as the dictionary keys and the values in the List as the dictionary values, with something like:
New Dictionary(Of Char, MyType)(??)
Even if this is doable, internally it will loop through all the List items, I guess?
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.
(From items In myDatabase.ItemAssignments _
Where items.BuildingID = buildingID _
And items.ResidentID = ResidentID _

I am using a modal form with a datagridview in order to populate textboxes on a parent form. The datagridview is bound to an anonymous type resulting from a linq query, which varies depending on the textbox control whose keypress event is called. I always want to display a key value in column 0 of the datagridview (along with a variable number of additional columns), and then use that key value once the user selects a row.
However, when setting an anonymous type from a linq query as the datasource for a datagridview control, the columns are indexed alphabetically rather than in the sequence selected in the query. This requires setting the displayindex as a workaround, and then keeping track of which column contains my key value. I read elsewhere that this was something fixed in VS2008 SP1, but I still encounter the behavior.
I have collections of 2 different types - let's call them Cars and Trucks. Both share base class Vehicle, which has property Passengers.I want to merge them into a single collection ordered by that property. E.g., merge Cars and Trucks and order by Passengers.
