String manipulation

Im using the new TextFieldParser class and want to find out how to use the "Find" method of the Array object after I parse multiple fields of a line into a string array.
Here is the code:

Private Sub ParseData2()

        Dim fields As String()
        Dim parser As New TextFieldParser("c:\epp\test.txt")

        Try
            parser.SetDelimiters(";")
            parser.TrimWhiteSpace = True
            While Not parser.EndOfData
                 Read in the fields for the current line
                fields = parser.ReadFields()
                Dim str As String = Array.Find(fields, AddressOf ProductGT11)
            End While
        Catch ex As Exception
            Throw ex
        End Try

    End Sub

    Private Shared Function ProductGT11(ByVal p As String()) As Boolean
       code here will do the find
    End Function

The "AddressOf ProductGT11" inside the ParseData2 sub is giving me a compile time error:
Method Private Shared Function ProductGT11(p() as string) as Boolean does not have the same signature as delegate Delegate Function Predicate(Of T)(obj as String) As Boolean

How can I correct his?

The function ProductGT11 should take a single parameter that matches the type of the array - in your case a string. So the definition should be:

Private Shared Function ProductGT11(ByVal p As String) As Boolean

I just removed the parens from the parameter "p".

Not 100% sure and havent got VS handy to test it but I think the ProductGT11 method should look like

Private Shared Function ProductGT11(ByVal p As String) As Boolean

Thanks, that was it!
