I am developing a routine to calculate the proper futures contract front month If i have a array of integers denoting month numbers ie, "1,4,7,10,12" and I have a variable integer that is 2.
How do i test the variable against the array and change the variable to the next highest available in the array if the variable itself wasn't in the array? ie in this case the variable's value of 2 would become 4.
I've tried various ways but am stuck now
If datenum >= (targetdayofmonth + adjdays) Then
currentmonth = currentmonth + 1
Dim currmonthname As String = MonthName(currentmonth, True)
For x As Integer = 0 To contractmonths.Count - 1
If GetMonthNumberfromShortMonthName(contractmonths(x)) = currentmonth Then
currmonthname = currmonthname
Else
End If
Next
Else
Dim currmonthname As String = MonthName(currentmonth, True)
End If
So based on Tim's comments I've updated the code to;
Dim contractmonthNos As New List(Of Int32)
For Each childnode As XmlNode In From childnode1 As XmlNode In root Where childnode1.SelectSingleNode("futures/symbol/Code").InnerText = commodcode
'get the available contract months for this contract
Dim contractmonthnodes As XmlNode = childnode.SelectSingleNode("ContractMonths")
contractmonthNos.AddRange(From subnode As XmlNode In contractmonthnodes Select GetMonthNumberfromShortMonthName(subnode.Name))
Next
If datenum >= (targetdayofmonth + adjdays) Then
currentmonth = currentmonth + 1
Dim currmonthname As String = MonthName(currentmonth, True)
Else
Dim nextmonth = From month As Integer In contractmonthNos Where month > currentmonth
If nextmonth.Any() Then
currentmonth = nextmonth.First()
End If
Dim currmonthname As String = MonthName(currentmonth, True)
End If
but I am getting a VS2012 squiggly under nextmonth in the If Then Else warning of "Possible multiple enumeration of IEnumerable"
