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.Add(item) Next 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?
I 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.
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.
I have a combo box bound to a datasource. I need to change one combo box (of many) to order the items in descending order.I'm guessing I could order the collection in the dataset, but that will mean all my combo boxes will be reordered?
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
0 6 1 5 2 4
[code]....
How do I get the OrderBY to do a descending list starting with the highest number?
I need to sort three numbers that are entered in three different textboxes and display these numbers ascending and when I press a different button display them descending. Now I think that I need to put these three numbers into an array, sort and display, but I'm not really too proficient in code to accomplish this. Is there a way to do this without putting them into an Array.Which is not much of anything so far.[code]
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]...
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 would like to sort my query result alphabetically Ascending by LastName and alphabetically Descending by Gender. I want to display Male first then followed by girls. I tried the code below but obviously is not the answer.
SELECT TOP 50 PERCENT IDNo, LastName, FirstName, MI, SectionName, YearLevel, Adviser, Gender FROM tblEnrol WHERE SectionName = 'Sec1' ORDER BY LastName ASC, Gender DESC
A 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'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:
[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.
i am curious and also would like to know how to duplicate this user interface feature in Windows 7. I am aware that if you attempt to sort a column in Windows XP, there is no up/down arrow in the column.
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?
This is similar to How to keep the order of elements in hashtable, except for .NET. Is there any Hashtable or Dictionary in .NET that allows you to access it's .Index property for the entry in the order in which it was added to the collection?
I have a list of strings lets say the items are like this: item_1 item_2 item_4 item_10 item_8 item_11
If I do list.sort() I get the following item_1 item_10 item_11 item_2 item_4 item_8 Somehow I need to get these in order numerically but I am dealing with strings not numbers.
I have created a program that when a user selects a button, an input box is displayed to type in, for instance a name, when clicked ''OK'' the name goes into a textbox, how can i program it so that the contents of that textbox is automatically sorted into Alphabetical order according to the first to the first letter ?
I have an unbound datagridview that has 2 columns. Both columns contain numeric data only and will only go to 55 in count. How do you sort a Datagridview Column in collating sequence? I basically want to sort from 55 down to 1 and 1 to 55 in their respective numerical order.
I have a photo album gallery within my website and would like to allow users to sort the order of their photos within an album. After looking at very different ways I came across this example [URL]... which is exactly what I need. The photo are stored in the uploads directory and details in the database. The images are displayed using the ListView as shown below:
I have a program which is made with 12 labels, the first set of six are randomly generated and the second set are values obtained from the first set and the user has to choose in ascending order the numbers on the first set.The values chosen will be trasferred to the second set and then with a "check" button that set of labels have to be rearranged and compared to the user input.If the user for example manage to choose the right order, he will obtained a 6 of 6 and he will recieve a message.My problem is on the rearrage and compare part.
The code I made is very simple but is not working, basically it only check if the next value is smaller that the previous and changed its back color according to the case.
Here the code:
'check button Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click Dim Score As Integer Score = 1
[code]....
I would like to have a correct rearrange of the numbers and introduce a message according to the accuracy of the user.
I'm having my program sort an excel sheet by a few columns. However, it is only sorting by the first column not the rest that I specify.ere is my sort code below:
I have a WPF ObservableCollection which is bound to a ListBox and I have a Sort() method which when called will convert the ObservableCollection to a List(Of T), and undertakes a sort based on a date/time column within the collection.
The data is sorted, even when new items are added to the ObservableCollection, however the date/time isn't being correctly sorted. The data is sorting based on the date however it is very much random when it comes to the time portion. The following is an example of the outcomes I am experiencing:
[Code]...
Is there anything that I am doing incorrectly in this method that would cause the time portion not be included in the sort? Is there a better way of doing a sort?
