• Lexin Shan ListView sorting question

  Hi I have a ListView control called HSlist on a form which has 3 columns. The adding data seems to work OK, but the sorting is weird to say the least. Initially, I thought that the list would be sorted on the contents in the first column, so I added to the ListView with the Item containing the data that I wanted the list to be sorted on (numerical). Then I found that the list was being sorted on the second column (strings), so I swapped th ...Show All

• dannycaro Converting a String to a Number

  Does anyone know of a way that I can convert a string word, ie. "seven" to the number representing that number, ie. 7 I thought about using a Generic Dictionary, and load up all the keys with the actual word, and have the value as the number, but that still doesn't solve my problem 100%. I really just need a converter to do all of this. This is probably a long shot, but I figured this would be the best place to look if it ...Show All
