In the code below there is a inparameter named thumbs to the function CreatePage. thumbs is an arraylist. My question is if you know if it's possible to split the arraylist thumbs into parts of 15 and call the function with thumbs(1-15), thumbs(16-30), thumbs(31-45) and so on. Until the arraylist is empty.
html.CreatePage(txtTitleTag.Text, txtText.Text, "index", txtDirectory.Text & "\", thumbs, txtMetaDesc.Text, txtMetaKeywords.Text, "test.com", "test2.com", BackgroundColor, FontColor)
First of all, switch from an ArrayList to a List(Of String). ArrayList was already outdated in .NET 2.0, and you'll benefit a lot from strong typing.
Next, here's a method to chunk a List:
<System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension()>
Public Function Chunk(Of T)(ByVal this As List(Of T), ByVal length As Integer) As List(Of List(Of T))
Dim result As New List(Of List(Of T))
Dim current As New List(Of T)
For Each x As T In this
current.Add(x)
If current.Count = length Then
result.Add(current)
current = New List(Of T)
End If
Next
If current.Count > 0 Then result.Add(current)
Return result
End Function
Now, just use a For Each loop that iterates over the chunks:
For Each chunk As List(Of String) In myList.Chunk(15)
'Call the function and pass chunk as an argument
Next
Voilà!
ArrayList.ArrayList?Strings?
