[RESOLVED] List question

Is it possible to use lists in a multi-column capacity.. such as:

Oldname/New Name/Date
Jeff,Bob, 01012008
Lisa,Tina, 02012008
Fred, Barney, 01152008


If so, could someone demonstrate a simple sample for me?

Thanks

are you talking about for viewing the data on a form or for data storage in your code? Both of which are fairly easy to implement.

Just temporarily storing data in my code. I don't want to setup up three different lists. I was hoping to have one list with three elements per row.

set the listbox's .usetabstops property to true + then seperate the 3 columns with vbTab as you add each item to the listbox.

In that case you could create a data Structure to hold one instance of data, then create a List of data structures. Something like this....

vb Code:

Dim MyDataList As New List(Of MyData)
 
    Private Structure MyData
        Public OldName As String
        Public NewName As String
        Public Dayt As Date
    End Structure

vb Code:

private structure columns
    dim OldName as string
    dim New Name as string
    dim Date as date
end structure
 
dim list as new list(of columns)

edit: you beat me....

Excellent. Thanks guys. I really appreciate it. It was one of those things I knew I had seen done before, but just could not remember it.

Cheers!
