This might not be so 'VB' as it is 'SQL using VB' I have an application with a built in MS Access DB. I have a table that has a column full of integers, I shoot the DB a SQL "order by 'column name' " string and it returns the table ordered by my column of integers.BUT it returns them like this, and I want them like this

How do I get the OrderBY to do a descending list starting with the highest number?
i have a windows form application with a textbox and 2 listboxes on it. The program is designed where i type in a filename in the textbox and the contents of the file appear in the listboxes. In the the first listbox the names of the students and their grades appear in the listbox. In the second listbox each of the students last name and their overall grade appear in the listbox. What i need now is a sorting algorithm that will sort the students to appear in descending order so the the student with the highest grade will appear first and the student with the lowest grade will appear last.

Code:
Dim list As New ArrayList()
For Each item As String In l_input.Items

list.Sort()
Ok this sort the list from A to Z alphabetical order but how do you sort in from Z to A, i.e. descending order. Summat to do with the comparer? I have no idea how to use the comparer. Or is there an easier way?
My task is to create buttons to demonstrate how loops work on a form. Two numbers are entered and validated (lower bound and upper bound). They are then to display all the numbers between them in an "odds list box" and an "evens list box" in ascending order. If however, the lower bound number is higher than the upper bound number - they are to be displayed in the list boxes in "descending order". My code for the "For...Next...Loop" worked fine - but I am having trouble with the "Do While Loop". I can not seem to determine how to have it displayed in descending order.[code]...
View 2 RepliesI have 20 textboxes. each contains a particular number . I want the textbox1 to textboxN to have the numbers in the descending order. If any of the textbox has a zero value then I want to leave that textbox as it is. A sample code in vb.net needed.
View 2 RepliesI am currently building a table by retrieving a number and a name from an XML document and dynamically building a table. Currently, the table is built and you can check a box to choose whether or not you want to randomize the numbers that correspond to the name. I need to be able to check another box to determine whether or not you want it ascending or descending order. I don't know how to do sorts on a Table Object. Do I have to read it into an Array first and then re-read them into the table?
XML Document Example:
- <roster>
- <student>
<order>01</order>

I am trying to program my page in vb.net and asp.net so that when a user clicks on a column heading of a gridview, the data is sorted either in ascending or descending order. note that my data is coming from an SQL Server Express database. So far, I have done it so that the gridview can be sorted:

I created a DataGrid by dropping a DataSource on my Form. When I run it in debug, it works great.
My question is:
When I click on a column to sort by, ascending or descending, how can I tell which column was clicked on, and whether it is ascending or descending?
I am performing some filescans in a directory where I always neither get ascending or descending order of filenames. What I currently have is a logical order, but what I want to make of it is an ascending order.

View 1 RepliesHow would one code a button so upon cliking it items in listbox would sort either ascending or descending (depends on the button clicked). It mustn't be done with built-in Sort() but with a for loop for example. Tried to pseudo-code the solution to the problem, went as far as "store each listbox item in an array with a for loop".
View 1 RepliesA TextBox has the Following Words; " ABC : 12" , "EGF : 15" and "JUT : 02".I want to have "ABC : 12" to have Red color Font, "EGF : 15" - Blue Font and "JUT : 02" to have Green Font.Is it possible to do this? Changing the "Fore Color" in the "Property" of the TextBox changes the color of all the Texts to one color.
The other problem I am having is (how) to get these sorted according to the Number shown with the ABC, EGF etc,. They should be arranged either in ascending order or descending order.Each one is displayed as a String ("ABC : 12" is a String but "ABC" is a String and "12" is a Double converted to String).
I want to write a program in vb.net that arranges the english alphabets (A,B,C,.....Z) in ascending and descending order.

View 8 RepliesI'm trying to cycle thru the emails in an Outlook Inbox, but strangely, when my code cycles thru each individual email, the order of each in the FOR....IN.... loop is non-sensicle. The loop seems to start from the email in the middle of the list, cycles down to the end, then starts at the last email received and cycles down from there. When viewed in Outlook and sorted by latest email first and descending, the emails seems to be in order. This is my code:

Should I have to sort the emails first by received date descending? If so, how do I do that? If you look at my code, I have attempted that but it doesn't seem to work.

Please have a look at [URL]...It shows part of the task manager process list, and image name column is sorted in descending order.What i am trying to find out is how is the arrow pointing downwards (representing descending) is created.
Am i able to reproduce this "arrow pointing downwards" in VS 2005?
I have a ASP.NET web page which has several XSLT's to transform data in a xml file. The XSLT manipulates the data and presents it in a table.
Is it possible to allow the user to click on each of the table headings to sort the values in ascending or descending order?
The back end code is in VB.net in case it helps?
Very easy today, I think. In C#, its:
Dictionary<String, String> dict = new Dictionary<string, string>() { { "", "" } };
But in vb, the following doesn't work.
Public dict As Dictionary(Of String, String) = New Dictionary(Of String, String) (("",""))
I'm pretty sure there's a way to add them at declaration, but I'm not sure how. And yes, I want to add them at declaration, not any other time. :)
I've also tried:
Public dict As Dictionary(Of String, String) = New Dictionary(Of String, String) ({"",""})
And...
Public dict As Dictionary(Of String, String) = New Dictionary(Of String, String) {("","")}
And...
Public dict As Dictionary(Of String, String) = New Dictionary(Of String, String) {{"",""}}

I need to order a Dictionary in VB.net based off of the keys. The keys and values are all strings. The dictionary does not have a .Sort(). Is there a way to do this without having to write my own sorting algorithm?
View 3 Repliesi was searching for a simple solution that i can use in sorting a dictionary by value, and i was not content with what i found, so i made up these two functions for sorting a dictionary ascending and descending. I do not assume that they are perfect, so improvements are welcomed. They are written in VB.Net and use an intermediary dictionary.
Public Function SortDictionaryAsc(ByVal dict As Dictionary(Of Long, Decimal)) As Dictionary(Of Long, Decimal)
Dim final As New Dictionary(Of Long, Decimal)

I have the following dictionary:
Dim idQueuedJobs As IDictionary(Of Int32, KeyValuePair(Of String, Int32)) = New Dictionary(Of Int32, KeyValuePair(Of String, Int32))
Why duplicate KeyValue pair? This is because the first Int32 is just a normal index, and the String followed by another Int32 contains systemnames and the priority of the qued job in idQueuedJobs
I want to calculate the total number of systemnames in idQueuedJobs, how can i obtain this count by using the groupby method?
Something like this maybe?
numberOfSystems As Int32 = idQueuedJobs.Values.GroupBy(...)

Dim Rooms As New Dictionary(Of Integer, Of Integer)
Rooms(1) = 101, 102, 109, 110
Rooms(2) = 103, 104, 105
Rooms(3) = 106, 107
I want to know if i can obtain how many keys are in the dictionary For example, in this dictionary i have 3 keys, and if i use Rooms.Count it returns me 9 thats each pair of keys-values, but i want to obtain 3, each diferent value as key.
EDIT: Sintax error P.D: I cant use now because i have to use in a webservice filtered by IP, but VS2010 if i use count on the dictionary, tells me that will contain the number of the keys/value pairs.
