Difference Between Using The 'array' Class In VB And Just Declaring An Array Like Normal?
Mar 12, 2010What is the difference between using the 'array' class in VB and just declaring an array like normal. In other words, what is the difference between:
Dim numOfTicketsPerDay As Array
Dim intNumOfTicketsPerDay(6)
As Integer
Is there any preference of when one should be used over another?
Object / Array Reading (Row Or Column) Into Single Variable?

Sep 25, 2009I want to create an in-memory object in VB.Net with multiple columns. What I am trying to do is create an index of some data. It will look like:

Cast Array In Object Variable To Type In System.Type Variable?
Apr 14, 2010I have this function:
Public Sub DoStuff(ByVal type as System.Type, ByVal value as Object)
End Sub
The 'value' argument is always an array of the same type as 'type'. How can I loop through the values of the array?
I'd like to be able to do something like this:
DoStuff(GetType(Integer), New Integer(){1,2,3})
Public Sub DoStuff(ByVal type as System.Type, ByVal value as Object)
//Strongly types arr as Integer()

Object Array To Byte Array - Marshal.AllocHGlobal Fragmentation Query?
Jun 14, 2011I didn't think it fair to post a comment on Fredrik Mörk's answer in this 2 year old post, so I thought I'd just ask it as a new question instead..NB: This is not a critiscm of the answer in any way, I'm simply trying to understand this all before delving into memory management / the marshal class.
In that answer, the function GetByteArray allocates memory to each object within the given array, within a loop.Would the GetByteArray function on the aforementioned post have benefited at all from allocating memory for the total size of the provided array:
Dim arrayBufferPtr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(Marshal.SizeOf(<arrayElement>) * <array>.Count)
I just wonder if allocating the memory, as shown in the answer, causes any kind of fragmentation? Assuming there may be fragmentation, would there be much of an impact to be concerned with? Would allocating the memory in the way I've shown force you to call IntPtr.ToInt## to obtain pointer offsets from the overall allocation pointer, and therefore force you to check the underlying architecture to ensure the correct method is used*1 or is there a better way? (ToInt32/ToInt64 depending on x86/64?)
*1 I read elsewhere that calling the wrong IntPtr.ToInt## will cause overflow exceptions. What I mean by that statement is would I use:
Dim anOffsetPtr As New IntPtr(arrayBufferPtr.ToInt## + (loopIndex * <arrayElementSize>))
I've read through a few articles on the VB.Net Marshal class and memory allocation; listed below, but if you know fo any other good articles I'm all ears![URL]..
Passing An Array Of Integer To An Array Of Object In A Function
Mar 4, 2012I am creating a dll with all the functions and subroutines that I use all the time and I decided to create a function that I can pass different types of array to so the function obviously (or not) would have an array of type object. Now I no you can pass any type into an object type but when I pass an integer array into an object array I get an error.
value of type '1-dimensional array of integer' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of object' because 'integer' is not a reference type.

Creating An Object Array Of Different Object Types?
Mar 29, 2010I am having some trouble creating an object array of different object types. Here is what I have so far:
Public Sub New()
Dim b1 As New Book("Book Title 1", "Gold Book Publisher", 1.0, "Bob Jones", "192DJDJD212", "01/02/10")
Dim b2 As New Book("Book Title 2", "Gold Book Publisher", 1.0, "Bob Jones", "192DJDJD212", "01/02/10")
Dim b3 As New Book("Book Title 3", "Gold Book Publisher", 1.0, "Bob Jones", "192DJDJD212", "01/02/10")
[code]....
If I define the array As Book (Public publicationArray(6) As Book) or Magazine (Public publicationArray(6) As Magazine) I am able to access the properties of that class but not both. I think I need to define a type for each array instance but not sure how to do this.

Set An Array Variable?
May 30, 2012I'm writing reports in Report Designer (VS 2008), and I've reached a point where I have to circumvent the restrictions on using aggregates in groups. I believe this can be done by utilising custom code, which is written in Visual Basic as far as I know (not sure what version though).
I have a dynamic number of "Pools", which each contain "Models". Each Model row needs to set the Pool Multiplier to the maximum of the current multiplier and proposed multiplier. The Pool row (parent group row) then needs to get the Pool Multiplier.[code]...

Creating An Array With A Variable Value?
Mar 22, 2010i want to declare an array with a name that is the value of a variable. I need to do this because i want to create arrays from a text file that i'm reading.Basically, if someone could make this work then i should be able to change it to fit my use.
Dim var1 As String = howdy
Dim var1() as Integer
In this case i'd like to be declaring an array with the name 'howdy' that stores integers. In reality i'm looping a bunch of read names and would like to create an array for each name i read- but i'm quite capable of sorting the rest.
Getting A Variable Array To Work?
Dec 30, 2011ok, I got a lot of conceptual code for major chunks of the game's engine...like an inventory array of variables... he says that we will be using a lot of variable arrays, and I am trying to get a variable array dimmed in an inventory module, but when I try to declare what each index of the array should be, it says "declaration expected" and simply trying to reference the array from within another form, it does not register as existing...
the code is as follows, for he has not a clue how to program in vb.net
dim character_inventory(19) as array
and when trying to tell vb.net to set an individual index to nothing, it throws a "declaration expected" error...
character_inventory(0) = nothing is when it throws that error...

View 3 RepliesC# - Initialize An Array Variable That Has Already Been Declared ?
Sep 15, 2011In C#, I can declare an array variable like this: object[] Parameters;
And initialize it like this: Parameters = new object[20];
In VB, declaring and initializing an array is easy:
Dim Parameters(19) As Object
Dim Parameters As Object(19) ' Alternative Syntax
How would I initialize an array variable that has already been declared in VB.NET? Parameters = New Object(19) doesn't work.
For example, how would I translate the following to vb.net?
int value = 20;
object[] Parameters;
if (value > 10)
{
Parameters = new Object[20];
}

Determine Variable Types In An Array?
Sep 3, 2009I am having some trouble with an array full of data which I am trying to process. The data has been picked out of an Excel spreadsheet and contains items such as phone numbers. The problem is that when I drop this array back into a spreadsheet, Excel being clever, decides that some of the phone numbers are numbers and removes the "+" from the front.[code]...
I know that adding a ' in front of the + will remedy this. What I need to do is find out which of the numbers in the array are actually numbers and which have spaces/characters in them. IS there a quick way of doing this without having to search through each individual character of each array position?
How To Access Class Variable Via Array
Mar 23, 2009If I have the following class and declaration:
Public Class objLocation
Public SysLocationId As String
Public NameFull As String
Public LatRaw As String
Public LongRaw As String
Public Active As Integer
End Class
dim lLocation as new objLocation
I can access each variable thus lLocation.SysLocationId, etc. Is there an alternate way, so I can access each variable by index, so something like lLocation(0), lLocation(1), etc., which gives me the flexibility to compare to classes of the same type via a for next loop, or against other sources, like a datatable.
