Hi there,
I'm writing a piece of code with VS.Net 2003, Framework 1.1.
And I can't make BinarySearch to work right. Look at this sample:
Dim sexy() As String = {"-", "a", "b", "ba", "A", "Aa", "Ab", _
"Aba", "B", "Ba", "Bb", "Bba", "BA", "BAa", "BAb", "BAba"}
Dim index As Integer
index = Array.BinarySea rch(sexy, "BAba") ' index = -11 ?? BUG!!
Debug.WriteLine (index.ToString ) ' How no match???
index = Array.BinarySea rch(sexy, "a") ' index = 1
Debug.WriteLine (index.ToString ) ' this one works fine
' so, wtf I'm doing wrong?
Please help me if you can, because I'm bugged; and I dont want to go
with a silly For Each, If Then, snoopy loopy. Yea, I know I can also use
the Array.IndexOf, but expert writter Francesco Balena says it's slower
then BinarySearch on large arrays, that is my case.
Thank you very much!
Kind regards, :-)

Simple, your array is not sorted. BAb is smaller than b because the sort order is character by character and B is smaller than b so should appear before it.

In fact to further illustrate this, if you use the sort method, look at your array after it is sorted, it sorts the array in descending order.

I'm trying to quickly grab the dimensions out of the headers of JPEG files.
I need to look for the hex string FFC0001108 in a file that will be from 1-40

is the most efficient method you have found for doing this? I can see doing
this by comparing the first byte of the string to each consecutive byte of
the file until it is found, and then checking for the rest of...

Hi
I have a sorted array containing strings. I am iterating through the array and clearing the contents one by one using "array.BinarySearch" to find each element. So far so good. But the moment I come to the last element, the BinarySearch method fails.It gives me a return value which is negative although the element is very much there. I am debugging through the code and I find nothing wrong with it.Note that i am using the first overloaded...

Okay, I can certinatly use a For..Next loop to find the specified info I
need, but I'm thinking the BinarySearch will be faster, if I can get it
working LOL
Anyhew, got an array, may have 5 or 5,000 elements, and I need to find the
string, say it's "Start here".
I've tried this:
Dim MyObj as Object = "Start Here"
Dim I as Integer = System.Array.BinarySearch(MyArr,MyObj)

Hello,
I have an array of strings and need to find the matching one with the
fastest possible code. I decided to order the array and then write a binary
search algo.
What I came up with is the following. I noticed that if I set:
int upper = strings.GetUpperBound(0);
I never match the last element in the array (i.e. "iii")

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
