Say I have a List(Of Tag) with Tag being an object. One member of Tag, Tag.Description, is a string, and I want to make a comma-separated concatenation of the Description members.Is there an easier way to do this than to read the Description members into a List(Of String) and then use the Join function?
View 2 RepliesI'm having a little trouble with this... I have a Session variable which contains a string of comma separated ID's which needs to be passed to a stored procedure but if it is more than 8000 characters, it needs to be split into more comma separated strings. For example;
[Code]...
I'm working on something relatively simple I am trying to create a dynamic amount of comma separated strings.I have a variable (numberOfStrings) which is the number of different strings I need.I just want to loop thru the aryDrivers and assign then to the different strings.Dim aryHeats(numberOfStrings - 1) As ArrayList
Dim aryDrivers() As String
aryDrivers = txtBatch.Text.Split(",")
For i As Integer = 0 To aryDrivers.Length - 1
For j As Integer = 0 To aryHeats.Length - 1
aryHeats(j).Add(aryDrivers(i) & ",")

I am working on a UDP Client/Server, and currently i have them sending back and forth strings, which i convert to bytes, and then open the bytes to read. I want to now send an Object instead of those strings, which includes multiple unsigned integers and strings.
View 39 RepliesI have a list of strings. For each string in that list, I want to prepend another string. I wrote a method to do it, but I was wondering if there was something already in .NET I could use to do this. It seems like something that could be built in, but I was not able to find anything.
Here is the method I wrote:
Private Function PrependToAllInList(ByRef inputList As List(Of String), ByRef prependString As String) As List(Of String)
Dim returnList As List(Of String) = New List(Of String)
For Each inputString As String In inputList
returnList.Add(String.Format("{0}{1}", prependString, inputString))
[code].....
It works, but I would rather use built in functions whenever possible.
I'm migrating from VB6 to VB.NET, in hence my questions below:
I have to write a function that returns array of strings.
How can I initiate it to empty array? I need it since I have to check if it's empty array after it returns from this function.
Is list of arrays better for this purpose? If I use a list - Is it empty when it firstly defined? How can I check it it's empty?

Which is the fast method to concatenate them?

I have a long string that has been divided into lots of smaller Strings using the following pattern:
Public Class Test
Public Prefix_1 as String = "1 to 100 bytes"
Public Prefix_2 as String = "101 to 200 bytes"
[code]....
And this Test class has been compiled as class library project (i.e. a .dll file) and saved to C:Test.dll note that I have no prior knowledge of how many Prefix_ string existed in the dll file.My question is: How to retrieve all strings that start with Prefix_ via reflection and concatenate it ascending-ly (i.e. Prefix_1 & Prefix_2 ... ) into a single string?
Suppose I have the following data
Key ID Data
A 1 Hello
A 2 World
B 2 Bar
B 1 Foo
I am looking to produce the result
A HelloWorld
B FooBar
I am struggling to get the syntax quite right - I was trying to use Aggregate, but I wasn't sure if I could (or should) use SelectMany
Dim data = result.Rows.
GroupBy(Function(r) r.Key).
Select(Function(g) g.OrderBy(Function(s) s.ID)).

Is there a way to use [string].Join to concatenate html stings including spaces? I want to join html strings with a special character so I can pass them as an array to javascript from the code behind.
Dim Array(100)
As
String
ArrayString = [String].Join(",", Array)
This works great if each item in Array is one word only, but what if each item in Array contains spaces?
So, what I have is a windows form with multiple user selections. I need to display one message box upon click which concatenates strings based on the users input.

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to create a form that accepts names (or any strings) as input and stores them in a object. See attached form sample.Form Image:
Operations: ï Initially the NumericUpDown object on the form should be disabled.The user enters a value (string) in the textbox and clicks the Add button or presses the Enter key to activate that button.The application then stores that name in a List object, and displays the last entry in the Label underneath.The NumericUpDown should become enable after the first entry. The user should be able to move between all the values entered using NumericUpDown.
I have been looking for examples to find the string between two strings. This top one works fine;

Now the first one is fine - Ext_Volume is result of the string between the strings <Volume> and </Volume>. <Volume> and </Volume> are unique so this is straight forward.
However the second one - "^FDExp:" is unique, but "^FS" is not unique. There are occurances of "^FS" before and after "^FDExp:".
How do I get the string to search AFTER the occurrence, not before etc?

Is there an easy way to find a certain string within a string and then return the strings that you find as an array?I have written this:

Dim StringStartposition As Integer
Dim StringEndPosition As Integer
Dim Currentposition As Integer = 1

View 2 RepliesI have a DataGridView that has some columns with dates. It binds to an in-memory Datatable which gets loaded from an string array of data passed back from the backend Some of the rows returned have nulls for the date columns. Solution 1: If I define the Date column in the DataTable as "string" I can easily convert those nulls to empty strings and display it in the grid as empty strings (desired results). However, if the user clicks on the date column header to sort by date, it doesn't order the rows as you want. You get a purely string sort order. Not acceptable

I would like to write a function GetHashCodeOfList() which returns a hashcode of a list of strings regardless of order. Given 2 lists with the same strings should return the same hashcode.
ArrayList list1 = new ArrayList()
list1.Add("String1");
list1.Add("String2");
[Code].....
I can first sort the list, then combine the sorted list into 1 long string and then call GetHashCode(). However sorting is a slow operation. I can get the hash of each individual string (by calling string.GetHashCode()) in the list, then multiplying all hashes and calling Mod UInt32.MaxValue. For Example: "String1".GetHashCode() * "String2".GetHashCode * ... MOD UInt32.MaxValue. But this results in a number overflow.
I have two List(Of String).Both Lists contain duplicate strings. I want to pick out all the strings which are contained in both the Lists. For example:
List1 ={"10X100","10X100","10X100","50X100","50X100","100X100"}
List2 ={"10X100","10X100","20X100","50X100","50X100","100X100","200X100"}
So, the result should be: List3={"10X100","10X100","50X100","50X100","100X100"}.How to do this?
Ok so what i'm trying to do is grab some strings from a list box and put them in an array so i can list them in a message box each index of the array on a new line
So it comes up like this
you ordered :
arrayindex1
arrayindex2
arrayindex3 and so on
This is my first time posting here although I have been lurking for quite some time. I'm stuck with a problem I have seen before and never solved: I have a long list (~23,000) of alphanumeric strings that I'm reading into a List(of String) from a text file, and then sorting. When I iterate through the list after sorting, it appears to be correctly sorted EXCEPT that the element that was originally at the beginning of the list is now at the end (and it should be somewhere in the middle after the sort)Here is a sample input:
PRE1-PRE2_00015648
PRE1-PRE2_00015649
PRE1-PRE2_00015650

Update: I didn't make it clear but I meant this to be a question about where/how I would use a function to return a list of strings when I'm trying to just work with classes.I have a class called Account.
I have data access class called AccountDAO.I have various functions that return lists of objects like GetAllAccounts, GetAccountByID etc.I want to populate a drop down list with just the account names and nothing else. It's proving rather slow when using lists of objects and databinding them to the dropdownlist.
I feel like I should be using a simple "Select Account_Name From blah" type statement and returning a list of strings but I don't know how to work this into my class and data access class.
