Use Linq ToDictionary To Return A Dictionary With Multiple Values In The Dictionary Items?
Jan 25, 2010
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 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:

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 was wondering if it is possible to write both the dictionary key and all records associated with the value to string?
However i only get the output of the Key and one item in value (service status)

To be able to sort a dictionary by value I'm using this code:
Dim idCurrentJobs As IDictionary(Of String, Int32) = New Dictionary(Of String, Int32)
'The string in the dictionary represents a jobname and the integer is a counter for how many jobs im currently are running in the application'
idCurrentJobs.Add("JobName1", 2)

Following code properly populates "wksSheetNames" Dictionary
Dim wksSheetNames As New Dictionary(Of String, String)
For Each Wks In xlsWB.Worksheets
Wks.Activate()
wksSheetNames.Add(xlsApp.ActiveSheet.codename, xlsApp.ActiveSheet.name)
Next
For example assume the code logic is correct (I know that the syntax is not correct)If wksSheetNames.(Key="Sheet2", Value="Inventory") then Stop What is the correct VB.Net syntax to "Stop" in the above line?

I know I can do this with a for loop cause that's how i'm doing it now. I was hoping for a more efficient way to accomplish the task.
I have a dictionary(Of Integer, Boolean) or Of String, Boolean. i want to get a list(of integer) or Of String from the dictionary where all the values are true(or false depending on what i need at the time)
and to generalize it or "black box" it, it could be any dictionary(of whatever, whatever) and return a list(of whatever) where the value = whatever i'm looking for at the time.
string, string where value = "Closed"
in short: i want all list of all the keys who's value = some criteria
my current code:
Public Function FindInDict(Of tx, ty)(thedict As Dictionary(Of tx, ty), criteria As ty) As List(Of tx)
Dim tmpList As New List(Of tx)

As I am beginner in LINQ, I have small problems. I have dictionary of Char and Long, and I would like to use LINQ to retrieve Char with highest Long Value. I saw some C# samples, which look pretty easy, but I can't achieve such expression in VB.Here are two expressions, and I don't think they are most efficient possible.

I need a simple LINQ query on VB.NET on the dictionary [Code] What I need here is to retrieve a SINGLE website (dictionary value of string type) or NOTHING (if the query cannot find an affordable result) given those rules: The dictionary key (integer) must be greater than startSite and not equal to mainSite or returnSite (both must be excluded from the result) Any hint?

I have a dictionary collection as bleow:

mydic.addvalue(key4, val2)
mydic.addvalue(key5, val2)
From the above dictionary I want to delete all the entries where value == "val1", so that the result would have only following entry:

How to avoid for loop (Dictionary Array) using LINQ
View 1 Replies
Dec 11, 2009
I've got a Dictionary(Of SomeEnum, Integer) that gets filled up while looping through some objects that have a property with type SomeEnum. Once the loop is done, I want the SomeEnum type that occurs the most in the list of objects. I also need the other counts as well for display purposes, hence the usage of a simple Dictionary(Of K, V).I am looking for a LINQ query to give me back the SomeEnum key that occurs the most by looking at each keys number of occurences. Or perhaps there's an easier way of going about it.I could do this:
Return (From kvp As KeyValuePair(Of SomeEnum, Integer) _
In Me.MyObjects Order By kvp.Value Descending _
Select kvp).First().Key
But wouldn't the sorting be a more expensive operation than trying to wiggle Max() in there somehow?

I have the following piece of code which is giving an odd error that I can't seem to locate.[code]...
I manually edited the file to remove the item where the error is happening and it continues to happen on the next item. If I stop it at 2500 no problems. Could it be to many items in the dictionary maybe.

I don't know if this is doable, maybe with Linq, but I have a List(Of MyType):
Public Class MyType
Property key As Char
Property description As String
End Class
And I want to create a Dictionary(Of Char, MyType) using the key field as the dictionary keys and the values in the List as the dictionary values, with something like:
New Dictionary(Of Char, MyType)(??)
Even if this is doable, internally it will loop through all the List items, I guess?

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 can insert values into a VB.NET Dictionary when I create it? I can, but don't want to, do dict.Add(int, "string") for each item.
Basically, I want to do "How to insert values into C# Dictionary on instantiation?" with VB.NET.
var dictionary = new Dictionary<int, string>
{
{0, "string"},
{1, "string2"},
{2, "string3"}
};
