I am trying to work out a way to group a collection of items like an enum so that I can access them through code else where in my program. i.e I have list of items and sub items
currently in my application I have a Global Collection that is a Collection of Collections.Currently I am trying to add items/ elements to one of the child collections of the Global Collection but I am unable to use the collections methods of the child.When I assign a variable to the child collection and return the collection it is just an object with the collection inside.
Ex: Dim GlobalCollection as New Collection Dim ChildCollection1 as New Collection Dim tempCurrentCollection[code]......
Maybe if I knew the right termanology, I could find the answer myself.. I am going to run a fairly long list of "If"s that will determine if certain controls appear on the form or not. In it's simplest form would be:
The documentation has an example about grouping on multiple properties[code]...
Is it possible to rewrite the original query to just return IEnumerable(Of CustomerRegionGroup), or do I have to use the anonymous type, and run a second query on the result of the first?
I'm trying to declare an enumeration and one of the names I'd like to use for an item is not usable apparently. Where I am declaring 'STEP = 3', I get this error message in visual studio: "Statement cannot appear within an Enum body. End of statement expected." Is it possible to use STEP as an item name somehow? [Code]
My head is fuzzled with this. I have an xml doc which has the layout for a grid stored in it. If you notice the columns are stored as "Items" in the XML. I am trying to retrieve each "Item" out of the XML using LINQ but no matter what I do I keep taking on straggler properties that I don't need.
I'm trying to drag an item between two Groups in the same ListView called 'listTasks'.
Private Sub listTasks_ItemDrag(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ItemDragEventArgs) Handles listTasks.ItemDrag listTasks.DoDragDrop(listTasks.SelectedItems, DragDropEffects.Move) End Sub Private Sub listTasks_DragEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DragEventArgs) Handles listTasks.DragEnter
[Code]...
With listTasks.PointToClient(New Point(e.X, e.Y)) you could use listTasks.GetItemAt(p.X, p.Y) to get the ListView item you're over. Is there something like this for Groups? Or perhaps a better way to determine what group is the target of a drag-drop?
I have a simple subroutine that loads a list from a database. I would like to be able to use the same code to load a ListBox and a ComboBox by defining the list type as the common abstract base class ListControl, and see no reason why I can't - except that VB.NET doesn't expose/implement/whatever the Items collection in ListControl. I note with frustration that this is not the case in ASP.NET. At moment my code is ugly because I have to check what type of list control I have passed in, in order to cast it to a type that has an Items collection. (My code may be ugly for numerous other reasons too, but it is beautiful to me). Is there a way to rewrite the code to avoid having to go through the testing and casting nonsense? (I've stripped it down somewhat so that all that remains is where the problem lies).
Sub loadList(ByVal db As SqlDatabase, ByVal strCommandText As String, lstHost As ListControl, Optional bClearList As Boolean = True, Optional bIsListBox As Boolean = True) If bClearList Then
i am trying to sort the items in a collection(of T), by the start date. but i do not know how to do it. i do know that we have to implement list properties.
I have a class that represents some business object, such as this:
Public Class MyObject Inherits SomeBaseObject ' Implements INotifyPropertyChanged and IDataErrorInfo Private mMyVariable as Integer Public Property MyVariable as Integer
[code]....
SomeBaseObject implements both INotifyPropertyChanged and IDataErrorInfo, such that a Validate method will populate the appropriate IDataErrorInfo fields when setting the property values.I also have a collection that supports change events, which I eventually bind to a WPF DataGrid.
Public Class MyCollection Inherits ObservableCollection(Of MyObject) End Class
Part 1: Let's say that I have a business rule which says that no two items in my collection may have the same value for MyVariable. How do I set up my events (or implement additional interfaces somewhere) to perform this cross-item validation whenever the property value changes on any item in the collection?
Part 2: Suppose I have a list of integers such that whenever I add a new MyObject item to an instance of MyCollection or change the MyVariable property on any item already in the collection, the value of the MyVariable property must exist in this list of integers?
I have a webForm app that registers a user in the database based on the information provided with a web service, auto-generates a random password and username, and e-mails the user a link to take an application based on the marketing company selected. How do I get only the currently logged in user's groups to show up under the MarketingCo_DropDownList. Each user allowed access to the system will have membership in at least one of the marketing groups as defined by the web.config. For example, a user that is currently logged in and belongs to the BIG group under location "algACOMP_user_BIG", will only be able to see BIG in the Marketing Company drop down list. A user that is currently logged in and belongs to the NIS group located under "algACOMP_user_NIS" will only be able to see NIS in the Marketing Company drop down list.
Here's my best guess (located under Private Sub GetMarketingCompanies() method in default.aspx.vb): If InStr(WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Groups = "AMG", item.MarketingCompanyShort = "AMG", CompareMethod.Text) Then marketingCo.Items.Add(String.Format("{0} | {1}", item.MarketingCompanyShort, item.MarketingCompanyName)) For Each item In ac1 [Code] .....
I often have a class defined and I also define another class that is simply a collection of the other class. To do this I found it easiest just to define the other class as Inherits List(Of Type). The reason I define a collection class is to add extra functionality to the collection. Take the following code for example.
Class Car Property Name As String Property Year As Short
[Code]....
how can I define my own collection so that I can reference it by index or name like that. Right now I can only reference it by index.
removal of items in a collection or list using the " For Each " statement to iterate through.This code works:
For Each item As ListViewItem In ListView1.SelectedItems ListView1.Items.Remove(item) Next
This code does not:
For Each itemChecked As Object In CheckedListBox1.CheckedItems CheckedListBox1.Items.Remove(itemChecked) Next
I have been reading on this for hours today to find out why the first code block works, but the second does not.What I've learned is the "For Each" statement implements the IEnumerable interface. I have seen these terms used many times and scratched my head when it didn't make scense, then just moved along, something to strain my brain about later.Today was later...So since the IEnumerable interface is used, the .GetEnumerator method of the IEnumerable interface is called upon at the beginning of the "For Each" block, this evaluates the collection or list as in: For Each item As ListViewItem In myCollection This is done at the beginning of the iteration through the myCollection, so if the myCollection is altered as in:
For Each itemChecked As Object In myCollection CheckedListBox1.Items.Remove(itemChecked) Next
The altering of the list returns the error:List that this enumerator is bound to has been modified. An enumerator can only be used if the list does not change.
I am trying to add the file information of the contents of a folder to a collection. Although I am getting the collection to hold the correct number of items that the folder contains, all of the collection's items are the details of the last file in the folder.
I'm trying to use a loop to go through each item contained in the folder and then adding the item details to a collection with the following line
nCounter += 1 collFileDetails.Add(NameOfItem, nCounter) Next NameOfItem
I want to display a list of open windows on my computer in a rich text box. So, I'm trying to store the names of all windows in myString, and then set RichTextBox1.Text = myString.
Here's the code

Which is better, using a nullable enum or adding the value None=0 to your enum list?Using nullables requires more code, but I kind of like it since it forces me to think about the possibility. Otherwise I'm liable to forget about the None enum and fail to account for it being a special case.
I've done a little bit of LINQ but I almost exclusively return some elements from a collection based on some criteria. Now I'm trying to do something similar; let's say I have 50 winForm Controls in a collection - I want to set the .Visible property = True based on the controls name.
How would I do that? Below is my failed attempt.
myControls.AsEnumerable.Select( Function (myControl as Control) ( myControl.Visible = (myControl.Name <> "Hidden")) )
I have a ComboBox control with some items added to the items collection in design mode. What I want is when an item is picked from the ComboBox a different value is actually used in the code, instead of what is displayed. I am aware of the DisplayMember & ValueMember properties, but I'm not sure if that is what I need to use. All the examples I found were for bound data.
I have a problem getting the collection of items in the ItemMouseHover event. I want to get the collection of all the items and subitems when the Mouse Hovers in the ListView. I have the property of Full Row select in the ListView.
