Reference to "System.Collection.Generic.List"

Encountered a problem when making a .NET method call:
MT8855.StatusCode SetBluetoothProfile(
MT8855.BluetoothProfileConfiguration newProfileConfiguration,
ref List<MT8855.InvalidSettingInfo> invalidList
Parameters
newProfileConfiguration
Type: Anritsu.MMD.MT8855x.TestSet.MT8855.BluetoothProfileConfiguration
The structure containing the new settings.
invalidList
Type: System.Collections.Generic.List (Of <MT8855.InvalidSettingInfo>)
A list to hold information about any settings that are invalid.
Return Value
Status code indicating the success or otherwise of the call.
What should I do in TestStand to pass the reference of the list?

Cannot implicitly convert type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItemCollection' to 'System.Collections.Generic.List T '_

Hi
I want use SPListItemCollection' to 'System.Collections.Generic.List<T>'.
How to achieve this.
Thanks,
Siva.

Hi Siva,
This is how I code it for looping all SPListItem in the SPListItemCollection using Generic List<T>
public IEnumerable GetEnumerator()
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.Url))
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
var list = web.Lists["Friends"];
var query = new SPQuery();
query.Query = "<FieldRef Name='ID'/>";
IEnumerable items = list.GetItems(query);
return items;
Then calling the method would be
var items = GetEnumerator();
foreach(SPListItem item in items)
Response.Write(item["FirstName"]);

Systems.Collections.Generic.List T Requires 1 Type of Argument?

I am having troubles with my code. I am trying to start a list entitles "studentList" and it is supposed to allow the user to enter in a list of student names and their ages.
Below is my code and this is a windows Forms:
<code>
List<Student> studentList = new List();
private void btnAddStudent_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
private void btnShowStudents_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
List<Student> sortedList = studentList.OrderBy(o => o.LastName).
ThenBy(o => o.FirstName).ToList();
String outputStr = "";
foreach (Student s in sortedList)
if (outputStr != "")
outputStr += "\n--------------\n";
outputStr += s.ToString();
if (outputStr == "")
outputStr = "No Student Records Yet!";
MessageBox.Show(outputStr);
</code>
I have other code as well but this is the problem area. I am getting a Systems.Collections.Generic.List<T> Requires 1 Type of Argument error on this line of code: List<Student> studentList = new List(); and I cannot figure out why.
If I change it to List<string>studentList = new List<string>(); I get an error later on in the code.
I'm sorry if this is confusing but this is a really complex assignment that I've been working on for hours and I'm completely frustrated because I'm so close to finishing.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks :)

I am having troubles with my code.
If you post this to a C# and not to a VB forum, you'll have the chance all your troubles are gone. :)

Collection Generics , List ? super T List ? extends T List T

Can you please tell me
The difference beteen
List<? super T>
List<? extends T>
List<T>
Thanks..

Hi,
Just to remind our self about generic
When a generic type is instantiated, the compiler translates those types by a technique called type erasure � a process where the compiler removes all information related to type parameters and type arguments within a class or method. Type erasure enables Java applications that use generics to maintain binary compatibility with Java libraries and applications that were created before generics
Now your method returns a type parameter T and T is already defined in the type argument in your method.
This type parameter has some special definition which is
It extends the comparable
The comparable has a type which is super to T
So there is a class which define a type parameter T like that
class A<T> {
private T t;
In you implementation i.e. when you populate the List<T>, you will populate it with Long as your preference type since Long fullfill you predefined parameter type conditioins
public class Test {
     public static <T extends Comparable<? super T>> T findMaxMin(List<T> list, boolean max) {
         Collections.sort(list);
         if (!list.isEmpty()) {
             if (max) {
                 return list.get(list.size() - 1);
             } else {
                 return list.get(0);
         } else {
              return new A<T>().getValue();
     public static void main(String args) {
          List<Long> ls = new ArrayList<Long>();
          ls.add(new Long(234234));
          Long lon = Test.findMaxMin(ls,true);
static class A<T> {
     private T t;
     public void setValue(T t) {
          this.t = t;
      public T getValue() {
            return t;
}Your method will return null when you send an empty list;
I hope this could help

Calling a Web Service in a SSRS Report - Error Converting String to Generic List of Strings

Hello,
I am using SSRS version 2005 and am trying to call a web service to retrieve data for a SSRS report. I've looked on Google and MSDN for the past 2 days and have exhausted all options. Here are the details...
The web service method I am calling accepts 4 parameters...
Parameter 1 = Generic list of strings
Parameter 2 = DateTime
Parameter 3 = Int
Parameter 4 = Int
I have created a function (on the CODE tab in report properties) in my report that gets passed a comma delimited string and returns a Generic List of Strings that I use to format Parameter 1. The code for the function is as follows:
Public Function GetIDs(ByVal IDList as String) As List(Of String)
   Dim stringArray() = IDList.Split(",")
   Dim genericList As New List(Of String)(stringArray)
   Return genericList
End Function
I am passing a string to the function that looks something like this:
"1,2,3,4"
When I try to PREVIEW the report, I get an error that reads:
"There is an error on line 0 of custom code: [BC30002] Type 'List' is not defined"
I've tried changing the function declaration to pass back a string array:
Public Function GetIDs(ByVal IDList as String) As String()
    Return IDList.Split(","c)
End Function
This returned the error (from the web service):
"Error in line 5 position 22. Expecting state 'Element'.. Encountered 'Text' with name ", namespace"
I have also tried changing the function declaration to pass back an array:
Public Function GetIDs(ByVal IDList as String) As ARRAY
This also produced the error:
"Error in line 5 position 22. Expecting state 'Element'.. Encountered 'Text' with name ", namespace"
I know that this particular web service method DOES work because it is coded to accept nulls in the first parameter. So... when I call the method with nulls, it returns a recordset of ALL data (this works fine). Only when I pass a string to the function (which "filters" the recordset by the ID list), does the error occur.
Is SRSS limited with respect to VB.NET code so that the List(Of String) statement is not recognized? Has anyone done this before and if so, how did you convert a comma delimited string to a Generic List of Strings within a function in the SSRS report?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Bob

Hi Bob,
By default, in custom code, in order to use a variable or function that is not in the "System" namespace, we need to provide the full name.
In this case, the full name of the "List" is "System.Collections.Generic.List"
So, to solve the issue, please use the following code:
Public Function GetIDs(ByVal IDList as String) As System.Collections.Generic.List(Of String)
Dim stringArray() = IDList.Split(",")
Dim genericList As New System.Collections.Generic.List(Of String)(stringArray)
Return genericList
End Function
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

U will notice that there are 3 sets of list available here.
The first set of links contain the old broken links from "windowsteamblogs.com",
the second set of links contain the links from "blogs.windows.com" which are now also broken,
the last set of links contain the links from "blogs.windows.com" some of which are also broken.
So if u run the program using those links u will get a "nullpointerexception" error.
To solve this problem i updated a line of code in the "GetFeed" method from :-
var matches = _feedDataSource.Feeds.Where((feed) => feed.Title.Equals(title));
to :-
var matches = _feedDataSource.Feeds.Where((feed) => feed != null && feed.Title.Equals(title));
This line of code will ignore those empty(null) feeds.
For safety sake i also updated the code in the "GetItem" method, and this "FeedDataSource" class will compile without any error, but he program will crash in split.xaml without giving any proper
error message.
Here are some of the links where people have faced similar problems :-

Strange memory behaviour using the System.Collections.Hashtable in object reference

Dear all,
Recently I came across a strange memory behaviour when comparing the system.collections.hashtable versus de scripting.dictionary object and thought to analyse it a bit in depth. First I thought I incorrectly destroyed references to the class and
child classes but even when properly destroying them (and even implemented a "SafeObject" with deallocate method) I kept seeing strange memory behaviour.
Hope this will help others when facing strange memory usage BUT I dont have a solution to the problem (yet) suggestions are welcome.
Setting:
I have a parent class that stores data in child classes through the use of a dictionary object. I want to store many differenct items in memory and fetching or alteging them must be as efficient as possible using the dictionary ability of retrieving key
/ value pairs. When the child class (which I store in the dictionary as value) contains another dictionary object memory handeling is as expected where all used memory is release upon the objects leaving scope (or destroyed via code). When I use a system.collection.hashtable
no memory is released at all though apears to have some internal flag that marks it as useable for another system.collection.hashtable object.
I created a small test snippet of code to test this behaviour with (running excel from the Office Plus 2010 version) The snippet contains a module to instantiate the parent class and child classes that will contain the data. One sub will test the Hash functionality
and the other sub will test the dictionary functionality.

'Add dummy data records to the child container with x amount of data For d_Count = 0 To d_CycleCount

Next

Hi Cor,
Thank you for going through my post and took the time to reply :) Most apreciated. The issue I am facing is that the memory is not reallocated when using mixed object types and is not behaving the same. I not understand that .net versus the older methods
use memory allocation differently and perhaps using the .net dictionary object (in stead of the scripting.dictionary) may lead to similar behaviour. {Curious to find that out -> put to the to do list of interesting thingies to explore}
I agree that allocated memory is not a bad thing as the blocks are already assigned to the program and therefore should be reallocated with more performance. However the dictionary object versus hashtable perform almost identical (and sometimes even favor
the dictionary object)
The hashtable is clearly the winner when dealing with small sets of data.
The issue arises when I am using the hash table in conjunction with another type, for example a dictionary, I see that the dictionary object's memory is stacked on top of the claimed memory space of the hashtable. It appears that .net memory allocation and
reuse is for .net references only. :) (Or so it seems)
In another example I got with the similar setup, I see that the total used memory is never released or reclaimed and leakage of around 20% allocated memory remains to eventually crash the system with the out of memory message. (This is when another class
calls the parent class that instantiates the child class but thats not the point of the question at hand)
This leakage drove me to investigate and create the example of this post in the first place. For the solution with the class -> parent class -> child class memory leak I switched all to dictionaries and no leakage occurs anymore but nevertheless thought
it may be good to share / ask if anyone else knows more :D (Never to old to learn something new)

Set Time Interval with custom fields in generic list with view(SPViewCollection.SPViewType.Calendar)

I need to set time interval range with custom date fields in sharepoint view SPViewCollection.SPViewType.Calendar. How to do that?
My code is this:
System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection viewFields = new System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection();
viewFields.Add("FechaInicio");
viewFields.Add("FechaFin");
string query = @"<Query>
<Where>
<DateRangesOverlap>
<FieldRef Name=""FechaInicio"" />
<FieldRef Name=""FechaFin"" />
<FieldRef Name=""RecurrenceID"" />
<Value Type=""DateTime"">
<Week />
</Value>
</DateRangesOverlap>
</Where>
</Query>";
SPView newView = reserva.Views.Add("CalendarView", viewFields, query, 0, true, true, SPViewCollection.SPViewType.Calendar, false);
"FechaInicio" and "FechaFinal" ara datetime fields in my generic list.
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to see the calendar view begin and end time for the time interval.
We can use the SharePoint Manager to view the internal name for the begin and end time for the time interval.
Open SharePoint Manager 2013->click your site->click
Lists->select your list name->click Views->select your calendar view name->click the
Schema Xml to check the internal name for the time interval begin and end.
We can download the SharePoint Manager in here:

[A, C, B]
[B, A, C]
[B, C, A]
[C, A, B]
[C, B, A]
Here is the simple code i have written. I hard coded the number of permutations as i know the value to make it simple.
The problem is in those 6 permutations, few are being repeated which I dont want
Please help me out with this problem.

hi,
may be this can help you. i found this code in [http://compsci.ca/v3/viewtopic.php?t=5214|http://compsci.ca/v3/viewtopic.php?t=5214] under the user zylum.
the code is used for integers. but i managed to change is to Strings too and it shuffles without REPETITION. :) so i hope this helps:
int[] numbers = new int[52];
int randNumbers = new int[22];
for (int i = 0; i < 52; i ++) numbers[i] = i;
for (int i = 0; i < 52; i ++) {
    int idx = Math.random()*52; //i forgot how to do random in java so im using the action script way which is prolly the same way
    int temp = numbers[idx];
    numbers[idx] = numbers;
numbers[i] = temp;
for (int i = 0; i < 22; i ++) randNumbers[i] = numbers[i];

How to create collection that lists objects without a specific EXE file

I'm attempting to write a query that will show machines that are a.) Windows XP and b.) lack a certain .EXE file. Since I can limit by an "All Windows XP Systems" collection, that be seems fairly mundane. But I can't get the query to work for the
.EXE.
I've tried the following queries to no avail, where "MyFile.exe" is a placeholder name for the file. Again, I want to create a collection based on machines that DO NOT have this file:
Query 1 attempt:
select SMS_R_System.ResourceId, SMS_R_System.ResourceType, SMS_R_System.Name, SMS_R_System.SMSUniqueIdentifier, SMS_R_System.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup, SMS_R_System.Client from SMS_R_System where SMS_R_System.ResourceId not in (select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client
from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile on SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile.ResourceId = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile.FileName like "MyFile.exe")
Query 2 attempt:
select * from SMS_R_System where SMS_R_System.ResourceID not in (select SMS_R_System.ResourceID from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile on SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceID where SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile.FileName
= "MyFile.exe" and SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile.FilePath like "%\\Program Files\\Folder\\Subfolder\\%")
While I receive no errors when creating these queries, they don't return any results either. The collection remains empty. Updating collection membership and/or refreshing does not help.
-Nick O.

In you first query you can only have 1 column listed in your subselect, used ResourceID.

Only a fraction of the email addresses I have received mail and sent mail to show up i my collected addresses list.

I have thousands of email addresses I have sent to and received from but maybe 50 show up in my collected address list. I want to export my emails contacts but I can't find the majority of those names and addresses.
Thanks

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sharing_address_books
read section 'Share the OSX System's Address Book'
Do you have 'File' > 'Use Mac OS X Address Book' selected?
This might explain where the other email addresses/contacts are available.

Did you see my answer posted earlier in this string? "Apparently at the latest Thunderbird upgrade, the Mac OS reset a security preference. Found under System Preferences/Security & Privacy is a check box to Allow Thunderbird to access CONTACTS. Now all my Mac Address Book contacts are visible." This worked for me, and I am able to update CONTACTS, and see them in Thunderbird. I think I had to restart for this to take effect.

Passing listitemcollection to Generic list

Hi,
I am trying to pass the listitemcollection to a generic list. But I am getting error as Object reference not set.
I have used the below code:
using (SPSite oSite = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.Url))
using (SPWeb oWeb = oSite.RootWeb)
SPList lstTestLibrary = oWeb.Lists["TESTLibrary"];
SPQuery sQuery = new SPQuery();
sQuery.Query = "<Where><IsNotNull><FieldRef Name='ID' /></IsNotNull></Where>";
sQuery.ViewFields = string.Concat(
"<FieldRef Name='Title' />",
"<FieldRef Name='ID' />",
"<FieldRef Name='FileLeafRef' />",
"<FieldRef Name='FileDirRef' />");
sQuery.ViewFieldsOnly = true;
//This commented line works
// SPListItemCollection myColl = lstTestLibrary.GetItems(sQuery);
//Getting error in the below line:
List<SPListItem> listItems = lstTestLibrary.GetItems(sQuery).Cast<SPListItem>().ToList();
Is it possible to set the data to a Generic list? How to fix this?
Thanks

How do I set numbered lists for headings in Pages 5.2, and keep that system of numbered lists saved?

I have tried to set numbered lists for headings in Pages 5.2 but have not succeeded. I have read similar questions concerning this but this has not helped me...
When I say numbered lists I mean something extremely important and simple, for instance:
1. Introduction
1.1. Background
1.2. Purpose and Questions
2. The Legality of Clause X
2.1. Legality under Article 101.1
2.2. Legality under Article 101.3
And so on...
Heading 1. is selected as "Heading", 1.1 is selected as "Heading 2", and if I had 1.1.1 it would be selected as "Heading 3" and so on...
I have navigated my way to the Format window, and under the tab "Style" and down to "Bullets & Lists". I have here selected the following: Numbered, Numbers, 1. 2. 3. 4., Tiered Numbers, Continue from previous.
There are several problems with this currently.
First, based on the example it becomes "2. Background" when it should be "1.1 Background" instead.
Second, after writing some body text between the headings and then select a new heading, all the previously selected settings I mentioned above in "Bullets & Lists" have to be reselected.
So, how do I set numbered lists for headings, or so called sub-headings, in Pages 5.2? And how do I keep that selected system of numbered lists saved so I don't have to retype it for every new heading I type? (e.g. so that Pages knows that every time I choose Heading 2, I want it to number the heading in the way selected)
Obviously, manually writing the numbers for every heading is not a viable option, as it makes table of contents problematic and is simply tedious. You need an automatic way of doing it, especially if you write long documents where keeping headings in order is absolutely essential.
Also, reverting back to previous Pages versions (like v. 9 I think?) is not an option as that does not exist on my recently purchased Macbook Pro.
I need to be able to do this on Pages 5.2 and do it automatically.
I appreciate any help with this.

iWork '09 is not "outdated" it still works and works extremely well and whilst not perfect with MsWord it is far far better than Pages 5.2 which has a stream of major issues with exporting. It is also way better and faster to use than Microsoft Office.
So what is your time and work actually worth? If it is less than $19.99 for 6 months, you may as well just chuck it in and take that job on minimum wages.
You are assuming things for Office 2014 with absolutely no inside knowledge. Much as we assumed Pages 5 was going to be the long awaited improvement, but ended up being a downgrade to match the iOS version, Microsoft is headed the same way with their mobile versions.
This is not like getting the "latest" pair of pants where you go with the crowd and throw out your cigarette legs which replaced the flares, which replaced your low cuts which replaced your cigarette legs, which replaced…
This is work.
If it does the job and does it well, use it. There is nothing out there to really match what Pages '09 does. Yet.
LibreOffice can do most but not all, but has a UI that only a mother could love. It's great redemption is that it uses both open formats and the standard Microsoft formats and is under active development. It also opens and saves to just about everything. When they finally work out the Pages formats, I'm sure they will open those as well.
I use a lot of professional software. Just because the publisher's marketing department says change the product so we can sell more, doesn't mean you have to pay any attention whatsoever. Adobe being a classical example. Most designers are just ignoring their latest subscription based bloatware and getting on with their work.

Transporting 0material_attr gives reference source system error...

Hi Experts,
I know its not recommended but for some reasons we were trying to move 0material_attr data source and transfer rules and transfer structure 0material_attr_ba from quality system (QAS) to Development system. And every time we are getting the error "Source system QAS does not exist" while importing the request in DEV.
The reason for this error is that it is still keeping the reference source system of quality as QAS which is not there as logical system in DEV. My question is isn't it should automatically refer to R/3 DEV when imported to development system.
Thanks
Vishal

Hi,
As pointed out by Joke in the previous post, you need to maintain the mapping of logical system name for transportation.
In Dev, go to RSA1> Tools--> Conversion of logical system names.
Here create new entries.
