In C# I have been performing a FindAll in a generic list as follows:List<group.category> tlist = list.FindAll(p => p.parid == titem.catid);Two questions, is this the appropriate way of performing such a thing and how do I convert this to VB.Net
View 1 RepliesSuch as:
mylist.FindAll(Function(item) item.property = variable)
The reason I ask is if I use syntax like this, I tend to get a string to whatevever conversion error, which makes me think "variable" is being treated literally as a string.
I'm trying to sort a list of string, which (each item) consists of a word followed by a space, then a number. I want to sort first alphabetically by the word, then numerically by the number. I tried something like this:
wordList = wordList.OrderBy(Function(x, y) CStr(x.Split(" "c)(0)).CompareTo(CStr(y.Split(" "c)(0)))).ThenBy(CInt(x.Split(" "c)(1)).CompareTo(CInt(y.Split(" "c)(1))))
Im hearing about this, can someone explain it to me or please show some basic code of Lambda with explanation.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to get specific elements of a listOf structure with the function findAll plus a lambda function, and then sort that result and keep that sorting of those elements saved in the list. The structure of the listOf has an id and an age, so what I want is get all the items with id=0 and then sort the ages of that result, keeping that modification in the variable.
View 1 RepliesI am working on a program for a client and will need a feature to search for strings from an array without case sensitivity. This currently works, but it is case sensitive. I commented out the code for readability.

I am importing data from an Excel spreadsheet into an array. I want to search the array to find the location of each "cell" with text that contains a certain string (e.g. "MyTestString"). So far the best I can do is loop through each element and test it using CStr, but the code takes too long to execute (please assume all variables are properly declared):
[Code]...
(1) Is there a better way than looping through each element, such as a built-in function or a lambda that will return an array containing *the location of* all string matches?
(2) Would it be faster to convert the Object array to a String array rather than using CStr on each element? If so, what is the fastest way to convert a 2-dimensional Object array to a String array?
I've considered using Excel's Find function instead, but would prefer to limit the number of Interop calls to Excel.
I have a list( of clsCourseList) which is a class that contains a boolean value "Scheduled" I want to return a boolean value if ANY of the items in the list of clsCourseList contain a "Scheduled" value of False.I was playing around and have this (courseList is the list of clsCourseList
courseList.Exists(Item.Scheduled = False)
but I receive an error for the item keyword. I don't really understand the syntax its just something I found online, but it was in C#.
The purpose of this is to quickly check if all classes are scheduled, without looping through each one as there are hundreds and this takes place a few times in the program.

As you can see its the content of the lambda that i am hitting a brick wall with.
I see lambda expressions have become a very useful tool at some points in the language. I've been using them a lot and most of the time they fit really nice and make the code shorter and perhaps clearer.
Now.. I've seen some , I would say excessive use of them. Some people like them so much that try to use them everywhere they can.. Some times the C# code looks like a functional language. Other factors against are the cost using reflection by lambda and that not friendly to debugging.I would like to hear opinions about how good and how code clear it is to use more or less the lambda expressions. (this is not the better example, but let's say it was the trigger)I was writing the following code. The use of the delegate { return null; } helps me avoid having to ask if the event is null or not every time I have to use it.
public delegate ContactCellInfo.Guest AddGuest();
public event AddGuest GuestRequest = delegate { return null;}
Im using resharper and the wise resharper( even it some times literaly eats the memory) made me the following suggestion
public delegate ContactCellInfo.Guest AddGuest();
public event AddGuest GuestRequest = () => null;
At my point of view the code using the delegate looks clearer. I am not against the Lamdba expression just would like to hear some advices on how and when to use them.

Functionally, is there any difference (apart from syntax onbviously) between lambda expressions in C# and VB.Net?EDIT: following up on CraigTP's answer: any references to the situation in .Net 4?EDIT: I'm asking because I'm used to C#, but for a next project the customer asks VB.Net. We're not a priori against that. We realize that most language constructs are supported in both languages. However, we're particularly fond of the way C# implements lambda expressions. We would like to have an overview of the differences with VB.Net
EDIT: accepted CraigTP's answer for pointing out what I currently consider the most important difference.
So to summarize: VB.Net 9 does not support multiline statements in a lambda expression, and a lambda must always return a value. Both of these issues are addressed in VB.Net 10
In looking at Fuzzy Date Time Picker Control in C# .NET? Piotr Czaapla's answer to that question is exactly what I need. unfortunately, I'm a VB.NET guy and I'm not that familiar with lambda expresions, so my attempts to convert the code have resulted in hours of misplaced parenthesis and banging my head with a brick.
Any chance some bi-lingual wizard could convert the C# code to VB.net for me?

Using lambda's in VB.Net results in no intellisense. Is this a bug with VS2010 or expected? Note that it works fine in C#
Return Array.TrueForAll(chequeColl, Function(x) x.Number <> "N") 'No intellisense Number does not appear
Return Array.TrueForAll(chequeColl, Function(x As MyClass) x.Number <> "N") 'Now casted intellisense appears
UPDATE: Here's an example

Async Sub like this: Dim f As Func(Of Task) = Async Sub() End Sub Produces compiler error: error BC36670: Nested sub does not have a signature that is compatible with delegate 'System.Func(Of System.Threading.Tasks.Task)'.Equivalent C# code compiles fine:
Func<Task> f = async () => { };Rewriting Async Sub into Async Function make code works.
Why does Async Sub() is not convertible to delegate types with return value of type Task?
