I have a problem that I have not been able to resolve. I have a C# EXE where I have exposed some interfaces. My problem is that every call to createobject creates a new instance of the application. What I need is one running application from which a client can connect to.
Scenario 1:
Application is launched from command line.
User connects to existing running application using createobject (this does not work...it creates another instance)
Scenario 2:
Application is not running
User run createobject to connect to launch application. App launches (however if another program does a createobject it creates yet another instance).
I have not found anything in my searches that have helped.
Someone please shed some light on this!
Thanks,
Loren

Hello everyone,
I have a ListView control which is populated with a large number of data (Many rows). As the result of large number of rows I have to use the scrollbar to see the entire rows. I am searching and selecting row of the ListView programmatically. The following code temonstrate this:
ListViewItem foundItem = listView4.FindItemWithText(boxSearch.Text);<br />
int foundItemIndex = listView4.Items.IndexOf(foundItem);<br />
<br />
if (foundItem != null)<br />
{<br />
MessageBox.Show("The Item has already been registered.");<br />
listView4.Focus();<br />
listView4.Items[foundItemIndex].Selected = true;<br />
listView4.Items[foundItemIndex].Focused = true;<br />
}<br />
else<br />
{<br />
MessageBox.Show("The Item has NOT been registered.");<br />
}<br />
Unfortunitly, if the selected row is not in the user's ListView, it can go without notice. Therefore, I would like to move the rows which are visiable in the ListView in order for the user to see the programmatically selected Item. I have been under impression that the following code do the job:
listView4.Items[foundItemIndex].Focused = true;
but unfortunatly, when I add it to the above code it practically does NOTHING.
Can anyone be kind enough to tell me how this can be achieved?
Thank you very much and have a great day.

It looks like there is something call topItem. So I think if you change your code to
listView4.TopItem = foundItem;
It should work.
I found this note:
Note
Setting this property has no effect when the Scrollable property value is false.
Setting this property is not supported in versions of the .NET Framework prior to version 2.0.
Hope that helps.

I want to add indexed access to a series of identical pre existing properties in a business object class. I can't change the existing properties in any way (they contain business rules and other code and are already in use in other areas) so I want to add some sort of method to access them index style.
For example, here are some hypothetical properties that pre-exist:
public string Custom1 {get{somecodehere;}set{somemorecodehere};}<br />
public string Custom2 {get{somecodehere;}set{somemorecodehere};}<br />
public string Custom3 {get{somecodehere;}set{somemorecodehere};}<br />
etc etc etc
Can I create a generic List<> of those existing properties or an array of properties (or any collection) of those existing properties so I can set and get those properties using their existing code but access them by index?
(without using reflection?)

Example (This is part of a much larger and complex class with dozens of other properties, database code etc, this is only an excerpt of the relevant bits for this issue):
<br />
class Class1<br />
{<br />
<br />
private string mCustom0 = null;<br />
private string mCustom1 = null;<br />
private string mCustom2 = null;<br />
<br />
public string Custom0<br />
{<br />
get { return mCustom0; }<br />
set<br />
{<br />
if (bReadOnly) ThrowSetError();<br />
else<br />
{<br />
if (mCustom0 != value)<br />
{<br />
mCustom0 = value;<br />
BrokenRules.Assert("Custom0", Messages.e255, "Custom0", value.Length > 255);<br />
MarkDirty();<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
public string Custom1<br />
{<br />
get { return mCustom1; }<br />
set<br />
{<br />
if (bReadOnly) ThrowSetError();<br />
else<br />
{<br />
if (mCustom1 != value)<br />
{<br />
mCustom1 = value;<br />
BrokenRules.Assert("Custom1", Messages.e255, "Custom1", value.Length > 255);<br />
MarkDirty();<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
public string Custom2<br />
{<br />
get { return mCustom2; }<br />
set<br />
{<br />
if (bReadOnly) ThrowSetError();<br />
else<br />
{<br />
if (mCustom2 != value)<br />
{<br />
mCustom2 = value;<br />
BrokenRules.Assert("Custom2", Messages.e255, "Custom2", value.Length > 255);<br />
MarkDirty();<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
public void SetCustomField(int index, string svalue)<br />
{<br />
switch (index)<br />
{<br />
case 0:<br />
Custom0 = svalue;<br />
break;<br />
case 1:<br />
Custom1 = svalue;<br />
break;<br />
case 2:<br />
Custom2 = svalue;<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
}

Not sure if I completely understand what you are looking for. Something like this?
PropertyCollection[Custom1].Value
You could derive a class from CollectionBase

I can't change the existing code with the exception that I can add anything I want to that class. What I want to do for some new UI code is access those properties by an integer index. I want to set and get those properties like normal, but do it through an as yet undefined....something.
I'm not sure what you're suggesting there but I don't think it's access by integer index, sorry if this isn't clear, I'm not sure how else I can explain it.
If this were a new class that I could write however I want to I would start from scratch with a generick List<string> instead of replicating those properties, instead I have to somehow "fake" it instead.
What I've done as a really crappy workaround for now is created separate set and get methods that accept an integer index and through a long switch statement set or get from the existing properties, but this seems inefficient compared to a directly indexed collection. Perhaps a collection of pointers to the properties, I don't know and searching about it is returning nothing but unrelated results.

Is this closer or am I totally off base
public class Custom1<br />
{<br />
private string m_Test;<br />
<br />
public enum Property<br />
{<br />
Prop1,<br />
Prop2,<br />
Prop3<br />
}<br />
<br />
public string this[Property x]<br />
{<br />
get<br />
{<br />
switch(x)<br />
{<br />
case Property.Prop1:<br />
return Prop1;<br />
default:<br />
return string.Empty;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
set<br />
{<br />
switch(x)<br />
{<br />
case Property.Prop1:<br />
Prop1 = value;<br />
break;<br />
default:<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
public string Prop1<br />
{<br />
set{ m_Test = value;}<br />
get { return m_Test; }<br />
}<br />
}<br />
Custom1 c = new Custom1();<br />
c[Custom1.Property.Prop1] = "Hello, World";<br />

Hi Mark, that's sort of what I do now as a workaround with the switch statement, I want to do this without a switch statement. I've updated my original post to include a sample class of exactly what I mean.

Without using reflection that is an interesting question. Sorry I can't think of anything at the moment.

Well I guess on the bright side I feel better that it wasn't something simple and obvious. 
Thank you for looking at it, I appreciate it.

You mean like a List of delegates?
led mike
|
|
|
|

No I don't think so, delegates would be used with methods, not properties within the same class.
Maybe what I'm looking for is just not possible without resorting to reflection and string comparison of property names which is not much better than the giant switch statement way of doing it.
|
|
|
|
|
You seem to be eluding to introspection that does exist without all these limitations. Perhaps if you post some code or a link where we could see what you are referring to it might help.

I think your switch statement approach is fine; it's the way I'd do it. If you wanted to get fancy, you could initialize an array with anonymous methods that delegate to the propery:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
namespace PropertyTest
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Example e = new Example();
e[0] = 42;
e[1] = 3;
Console.WriteLine(e[0]);
Console.WriteLine(e[1]);
Console.Read();
}
}
public class Example
{
delegate int PropertyGetter();
delegate void PropertySetter(int value);
private int prop1 = 0;
private int prop2 = 0;
private List<PropertyGetter> getters = new List<PropertyGetter>();
private List<PropertySetter> setters = new List<PropertySetter>();
public Example()
{
getters.Add(delegate()
{
return Property1;
});
getters.Add(delegate()
{
return Property2;
});
setters.Add(delegate(int value)
{
Property1 = value;
});
setters.Add(delegate(int value)
{
Property2 = value;
});
}
public int this[int index]
{
get
{
return getters[index]();
}
set
{
setters[index](value);
}
}
public int Property1
{
get
{
return prop1;
}
set
{
prop1 = value;
}
}
public int Property2
{
get
{
return prop2;
}
set
{
prop2 = value;
}
}
}
}
I'm not sure if there's any real advantage of this approach over a switch statement. It may mean just as much work if not more.

Interesting, I think this is what I envisioned, but as you say it's probably not any better in the long run. I spent some time a while ago profiling a method that uses a big switch with simple assigments in each case and it was surprisingly slow so I've been avoiding them, but for this code simpler is probably better.
Cheers and thanks for looking at it.

In 2003 you can have regions automatically expand by settiong Tools->Options Text Editor->C#->Formatting uncheck Collapse Region when files open.
How can I do this in 2005? I can't seem to find the option anywhere I have looked.

I tend to right click then go to outlining.
Then toggle all outlining
Hope that helps.

That will do it; Not as good as the check box but a lot better than clicking on all of those region markers.
