Hello,
In a Binary Search Tree I get the error : Object must be of type String
if I run the form only with the "Dim bstLidnummer As New BinarySearchTree"
it works fine.
Thanks for any help on this,

BenCoo,
Interesting homework assignment; I miss those days...
Anyway to answer your question:
Dim bstLedenLijst As New BinarySearchTree
Dim bstLidnummer As New BinarySearchTree
Dim txtOutput As String = ""
bstLidnummer.Add("5")
txtOutput = bstLidnummer.Search("3") & vbCrLf
bstLedenLijst.Add(New Persoon("Nicole", "Kidman"))
txtOutput &= bstLedenLijst.Search("Demi") ' & vbCrLf
Ah! There's the Rub!
bstLedenLijst contains a collection of Persoon objects, you are attempting
to compare Persoon objects to a String object! You need to pass a Persoon
object to bstLedenLijst.Search. I would recommend you change
BinarySearchTree to a Generic class; changing this obscure runtime error
into an obvious compile time error!
Something like:
Public Class BinarySearchTree(Of T As IComparable)
Private Class TreeNode
Private mData As T
Private mLeftNode As TreeNode
Private mRightNode As TreeNode
Public Sub New(ByVal data As T)
Me.mData = data
End Sub
Public ReadOnly Property Data() As T
Get
Return Me.mData
End Get
End Property
Public Property LeftNode() As TreeNode
Get
Return Me.mLeftNode
End Get
Set(ByVal value As TreeNode)
Me.mLeftNode = value
End Set
End Property
Public Property RightNode() As TreeNode
Get
Return Me.mRightNode
End Get
Set(ByVal value As TreeNode)
Me.mRightNode = value
End Set
End Property
Public Sub Add(ByVal data As T)
If data.CompareTo(Me.mData) <= 0 Then
If Me.mLeftNode Is Nothing Then
Me.mLeftNode = New TreeNode(data)
Else
Me.mLeftNode.Add(data)
End If
Else
If Me.mRightNode Is Nothing Then
Me.mRightNode = New TreeNode(data)
Else
Me.mRightNode.Add(data)
End If
End If
End Sub
End Class
Private mRoot As TreeNode
Public Sub Add(ByVal data As T)
If mRoot Is Nothing Then
mRoot = New TreeNode(data)
Else
mRoot.Add(data)
End If
End Sub
Public Function Search(ByVal data As T) As Object
Return Me.Search(data, Me.mRoot)
End Function
Private Function Search(ByVal data As T, ByVal node As TreeNode) As
Object
If node Is Nothing Then
Return Nothing
Else
Dim result As Integer = data.CompareTo(node.Data) '****** this
is the error I get on this line :Object must be of type String.
If result = 0 Then
Return node.Data
ElseIf result < 0 Then
Return Me.Search(data, node.LeftNode)
Else
Return Me.Search(data, node.RightNode)
End If
End If
End Function
End Class
Then when you define your trees, you give the type of tree they are!
Dim bstLedenLijst As New BinarySearchTree(Of String)
Dim bstLidnummer As New BinarySearchTree(Of Persoon)
NOTE: You need VS 2005 for generics.

If result = 0 Then
Return node.Data
ElseIf result < 0 Then
Return Me.Search(data, node.LeftNode)
Else
Return Me.Search(data, node.RightNode)
End If
End If
Note that Search returns type T; this ensures that BinarySearchTree(Of T) is
type safe and performant. performant in that the data will not be boxed. (in
the case of BinarySearchTree(Of Integer))
Although I would recommend defining Search as:
Public Function Search(ByVal match As Predicate(Of T)) As T
Or even:
Public Delegate Function Predicate(Of T, V)(ByVal obj As T, ByVal value
As V) As Boolean
Public Function Search(Of V)(ByVal value As V, ByVal match As
Predicate(Of T, V)) As T
Which I will leave as an exercise for you to complete...

Then when you define your trees, you give the type of tree they are!

Dim bstLidnummer As New BinarySearchTree(Of Persoon)
NOTE: You need VS 2005 for generics.

>Hello,
In a Binary Search Tree I get the error : Object must be of type String
if I run the form only with the "Dim bstLidnummer As New
BinarySearchTree"
it works fine.
