Specify Another Sort Criteria Like Size Or Extension?
Jan 13, 2010By default Directory.Getfiles returns files sorted by name. Is there a way to specify another sort criteria like size or extension?

View 12 RepliesI am trying to go through a datatable and sort records that fall within a certain criteria, one being distance.I have a function that will get the distance between two points based on Lon/Lat and my records in table have Lon/Lat Values
exisitng code
Dim dtrow As DataRow
Dim lat As Double = CDbl(34.213209)
Dim lon As Double = CDbl(-118.629276)
[code]....
I can I now use the function to filter records in table that are with a certain distance?
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"
in about ~50 extensions
this a small sample of extensions that I use, I got WAY more
<Extension()>
Public Function IsWhite(ByVal board() As bitPiece, ByVal pos As Integer) As Boolean
Return (board(pos) And bitPiece.White) = bitPiece.White
End Function

I started use this code:
ListBox1.DataSource = _
My.Computer.FileSystem.GetDirectoryInfo(_
"blablabaDIR").GetFiles("*.*")
[Code]....
So i got the files on the listbox at debuging.
But can i sort them so the biggest is first?
Why would I use an extension method instead of just creating non-extension sub or function?
For ex, I could have an extension function called IsNullOrEmptyOrAllSpaces on String, which does a check as its name implies. Or I can write a stand alone function that does the same thing. Other than having the extension show up in Intellisense, is there any advantage? Is a call to the extension quicker/more efficient than a call to a regular function?
I saw this post and I want to know if this is possible in VB. So like extension method, do extension properties exists in VB.Net? Here I've read they do, but cannot find any examples.

vb
<System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension()> _
Public Sub Invert(ByVal b As Bitmap)
is there any way of hiding this from inteli-sense if it is not used as an extension?so that pressing ctl+space only triggers it if you go "bitmap.Inve.." rather than prompting on "Inve..."?
How can I improve this bit below to make the items in the TreeView to sort faster or something totally different to sort them easier?

I have a MyObject; myObjects as List(Of MyObject) and a delegate Comparison(Of MyObject) that uses a lot of comparison functions (ByA, ByB, ByC etc) Ã la:
Shared Function CompareMyObjectsByName(x As MyObject, y As MyObject) As Integer
Return x.Name.CompareTo(y.Name)
End Function

Now all went well about from using the structure correctly. The working of the structure was perfect. How ever i missed Two important issues. The structure needed a fixed size of 10 items (9 in programming terms starting from 0) And also out of the 5 items allowed to be chosen as one of the member types for the structure a limit of 5 items of that particular type.

I am using VB 08 running an openfiledialogue wanting to get the result of the GDS file (*.gds) to be the default extension at the drop down menu instead of All file when the openfiledialogue box opens.
I coded it with:
OpenFileDialogue.Filter = "GDS File(*.gds)|*.gds|All files|*.*"
but the results i get in the open file dialogue box remains as all files being in the drop down menu as the default file extension. How to i set it to ".gds" format?
Sub Sort()
ReDim RollsCC(NumOfPlayers - 1)
For N As Integer = 0 To (NumOfPlayers - 1)[code]....
Here I am creating a temp single dimensional array, merging my 2d array into it, and then attempting to sort it by Rolls(N,1), which is a integer 1-6, Everything seems to be working right with the exception of this.
RollsCC.Sort(RollsCC, 0, 1)
How would one specify a numeral sort based on the first character in the string? im aware that I am switching Rolls(n,1) and Rolls(n,0) information during the sort.
Currently my ListView sorts items by image.index. So 0 is at the top, then 1, 2 and so on. Think of it as an IRC chat room nick list. Ops at top then the rest are sorted alphabetically

I have a label which appears full screen on a projector (VGA 2). In this label I will be sending strings. Some one liner's, some wrapped paragraphs. Some multi-line with carrage returns. My goal is to have the font dynamically change size to be as large as possible without overflowing the fixed label size.
View 10 RepliesWhats the font size real meaning? since when i use Arial font size 10 in the report its gonna take different space than the textbox im using (Both using exactly same font type/size/unit) its kinda if i set 10 milimiters to the font size why would the i and M for example have so diferent size.
i wish it was like in the Notepad where all the letters take the same space. what i need its to give a certain texbox(in the report) with auto grow to have always the same lines of height but its not posible to calculate it from vb b4 being inputed to the report.
How to make the form size automatic setting the size equals to the screen. or Maximize the whole form including the form components.

View 2 Replieswhen I click the Open button a file is opened and its items are sorted alphabetically. to do this I have doubled the size of my list. However, when I click the button again to reopen the same file, the items will ADD ON to the previous open-file event even though I have this piece of lstListboxTwo.Items.Clear()(the correct thing is to clear the previous items and add the new ones)So I think this has to do with the new size of my list..I think that I have to set the list size back to its normal size when re-clicking on the button.

Dim List() As String = {""}

I have wondered the solution to this question for many years! I doubt if anyone else knows much about it because the internet is absolutely zero help in this!
I have made a form1 with a webbrowser control on it. When the program is run it brings up the homepage (which is Google). However the homepage doesn't seem to fit inside the webbrowser control.
So I am hoping that someone could tell me how to make the (...I dunno how to ask this retarded question...) webpage fit completely (100%) inside the size of the webbrowser control. Meaning...I would like to see the entire webpage from the internet in the
size of the webbrowser control. To fill the entire size (whatever size I want).
Etc... if my webbrowser ontrol is seh, set to 600px by 400px, how can I program this so when it brings up the homepage (or any other page), it fills the entire size of the webbrowser control? Without any scrollbars. How to make the contents from the web
(or local) fill the size of the webbrowser - almost like a mini browser if you will.
Okay here's what I'm trying to do. I want to change the font size of a label based on the size of the form.If the form size is 0 through let's say 500 I want the label size to be 50. How can I write this?

View 11 RepliesI developed a form application on my computer, but when it was used in another computer with different screen size, i was told the form didn't fit. Do I have to adjust the form size or any other ways to let the form compatible on different screen size? (could be different screen size or wide screen)

If I re-size the form, the textbox inside should be re-sized to fit the form, NOT DOCK!
Try it yourself: Plug in a USB flash drive (just a normal one with a single primary partition on it, as is the manufactures configured) to your computer.
Run WIM "Select * From Win32_DiskDrive"
Note the USB drive's size (in my case, it is a Kinston DataTraveller G3 2GB drive):

Why the partition is bigger than the disk on which the partition is created and just a part of the disk?
