Visual Studio (Visual Basic): Search and return the length of the longest string in a list

[Jonathan.12]

Hello,

I programming as a hobby and currently I make a a string counter in a Windows Form.

First: I made a XML file called "Words" with several type of words in different languages:

<Word English="Car" German="Auto" Spanish= "Coche"/>

<Word English="Beer" German="Bier" Spanish= "Cerveza"/>

<Word English="Dog" German="Hund" Spanish= "Perro"/>

Second: Use a LINQ Query and added all the items to a generic list of string.

Third: The first textbox show all the items in the list (comma separated):

Car, Auto, Coche


Beer, Bier, Cerveza

Dog, Hund, Perro

My question is: I want to show the length of the longest English, German and Spanish word in a second textbox. Is this possible?

In my example it is: 4, 4, 7

Thanks in advance,

Jonathan
