I'm sure this is something pretty trivial but can't seem to figure out how
to do it.
I'm using Generic Lists in quite a few places in my app and for some of them
want to be able to create a ToString method that would return a formatted
string array.
For example, I might have a simple class as follows:
Class Foo
Public ItemIndex as short
Public Description as string
End Class
There would be a List object containing instances of this class e.g.
Dim MyFoos as List (Of Foo)
now say for populating a drop-down list I want to display items in the
following format:
1 : Item A
2: Item B
3: Item C
etc.
I would like to be able to populate the dropdown list (ddl) using the
AddRange() method, so I'd need something like
ddl.Items.AddRa nge(MyFoos.ToSt ring).
How would I implement this method? I've tried creating my own NumberedList
class which inherits from Generic.List but couldn't see how I could access
the list itself.
Thanks in advance 2 3558

I could be very wrong about this as I haven't done it myself, but I
believe you need to add the ToString method in your Foo class, not the
list. The addrange will go through each item in your list and to do
ToString method on it.

Thanks a lot! Think i was making too much of it. By implementing a ToString
method on the class itself, I was then able to use the List's ToArray
method...
ddl.Items.AddRa nge(MyFoos.ToAr ray)
Cheers :-)

Hi, all. I have a linked list. I need an algorithm to create a tree

Basically, I want to turn this:

, array( 'id' => 'B', 'parent_id' => 'A', 'value' => 'bbb')
, array( 'id' => 'C', 'parent_id' => 'B', 'value' => 'ccc')

I'm trying to get a method using Type.GetMethod. There are two methods with
that same name, one is a standard method, the other is a Generic method.
How do I get the Generic method? Is there a BindingFlag that will only get
the Generic one? Here is an example ...

I have a class SwatchPanel which takes Swatch as a parameter type. How can I call a static function within the Swatch class?
For example the code below fails on TSwatch.Exists. How can I get the call to work?
Exists is a method within the Swatch class NOT the SwatchPanel class.
Is this possible?
Suggestions would be very welcome.

I have a design question. I am creating a custom collection of products.
The unique key for the products is productId which is an integer.
By default, IndexOf(object obj), when obj is an int, would return the value
of obj because it returns the index of the item at position obj.
Thoughts I had were to let the default method perform the default behavior
and then create an overload as IndexOf(int index, ProductSearchCriteria

in a generic class, can I code the class so that I can call a static

In the ConvertFrom method of the generic TypeConvert class I want to

if (InValue is string)

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
