Making A Dictionary In .Net - Create "apps" For Wikipedia, Wiktion?
Jun 13, 2011
Basically, what I've done is given the user four tabs to choose from. The main one is the dictionary which I've compiled, and the other three tabs link to online encyclopedias and dictionaries. However, what I want to do is make an app for each of these, because of the fact that the screen space I am giving the user is limited (499px x 254px), and I also believe that it will look more professional.
What I'm thinking of doing is putting the logo towards the top, and then:For Wikipedia, putting the title and picture at the top and breaking the article into show/hide sections like the mobile version
For Wiktionary, putting the title at the top, and breaking it down into show/hide sections when applicable
For Dictionary.com. putting the title at the top and showing the definitions (with linked pronunciations) underneath
Of course, I'll need it to automatically redirect itself to the webpage I need it to go to, because I don't want to type another 300,000 lines of code just to go to a website.

Something ive wondered about as long as ive had an interest in making apps is generating serial numbers for software projects.Im wondering how is this done by the pro's so that someone can put a key into an app and without being connected to the net it knows the key is valid by using an algorythm.Id like to make something like that for the sake of learning how. I realise more and more programs now "call home" at the point of entering a key or to "activate" as with MS office and windows etc, but id like to start at the old school way of doing it.Generating the alpha numeric keys and also checking them.

I am planning on making a dictionary with translations from one language to another. I've already tried using the Google API translator but what i want to do for now is to translate the text inputted by the user without any need for internet connections.

I am creating a dictionary software in Visual studio 2010 (vb). I've already done one in which i used SQL server express 2008 to hold the data. But users find it very annoying to download SQL server (of 58 MB) before installing the software.I am definitely not using SQL this time. But I don't know which database technology does not need a prerequisite software. I guess ADO.NET will not be favorable too. So can anybody suggest me which one to select this time, so that the users can use my software having just the .NET framework 4.0 and nothing else?

I have learned to create programs in VB.NET with Visual Studio, but the downside of that is that i need the .NET framework, which is not on every computer. Can I create a program in VB.NET without it needing the .NET framework? If yes, what tools do i need?

We recently aquired a first generation ipad and after playing around with it, it occurred to me that many elements of my current vb project could find an audience in this technology. The suggested method of developing these apps is with a special software kit and an apple computer. Since this would require an unacceptable investment with my current finances, I am wondering if it is possible to create these apps using visual studio with vb.net, c#, etc.

Is there any sort of API for google dictionary or dictionary.com (note: i have tried the google API but that does not support dictionary!!!) or some way to download the information from those sites? i will be using this in a bigger program (a very basic chatbot) so the definition has to be able to easily be output to a string or textbox!!!
note: i have asked mr.google many a time but all the responses are not what i want! and i dont want to have to manually write my OWN dictionary (i.e. writing in each specific word and definition)

I'm attempting to create a customized dictionary object, because I want to add some code to the Add routine, and I can't just inherit because Add is not overridable.
So I'm creating a class that implements IDictionary. Already I am confused, because Dictionary implements a lot of interfaces, listed below:
Implements IDictionary(Of TKey, TValue), ICollection(Of KeyValuePair(Of TKey, TValue)), _
IEnumerable(Of KeyValuePair(Of TKey, TValue)), IDictionary, ICollection, _
IEnumerable, ISerializable, IDeserializationCallback
But IDictionary inherits ICollection and IEnumerable, so why implement all three (and don't they have overlapping methods)?
#2, when I implement IDictionary, the code fills in two Add methods (one for the ICollection add of a keyvaluepair, one for the Idictionary method). Apparently both these add methods are required for Idictionary, yet a regular dictionary (which implements IDictionary) only has one Add method that I can see. I actually would like to have only one Add method if possible. Why am I being asked to make two (and that's before all the other interfaces have been added)?

I have a function that has an optional dictionary argument. Since it's optional, it needs a default value, and I'd like to set it to an empty dictionary instead of Nothing. How do I go about that?

I'm trying to create a new instance of a Dictionary(Of String, ??) based on a ItemType variable I have. How do I construct the DictType so that I can use Activator to create an Instance of the type I'm after?
Dim ItemType As Type ' Data type of dictionary value
Dim DictType As Type = ???? ' Dictionary(of String, ItemType)
Dim NewDict = Activator.CreateInstance(DictType)

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.

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:

Interface makes sure a class does have a Method / Property, However is there a way to create an unInterface, making sure that the class does not have a method / property or is there a way to implement something that will unimplement every other implements except for itself?
what i want to do: i've got a class that serves as a storage for information only, so i decided to give it a blank interface IBank, the other classes that share this feature will implement this interface. they should not implement any other interface the use is that when i seek out the interface of a class and realise that its IBank i know that its just a class for info storage.
