I want to represent telephone directory in this way.
Certainly, anybody may have more phones and each of them must be visible.

It is all dispose in more columns, that economically use working surface.

Table:
TelDirectory (ID,Name,Tel)
PK(ID) - primary key

How to show data like this:

Name1.....Name4
------.....------
Tel11......Tel41
Tel12

Name2
------
Tel21
Tel22
Tel23

Name3
------
Tel31

...

Thanks for any help.

where are you showing it ? If in a web app, a repeater is your best option.

Then it's up to you to render the results any way you like. No built in control will give the layout you're wanting, however.

First of all, the ID cannot be a Primary Key as it will not be unique, since anybody can have more than 1 phones.

You can get the list sorted on ID/name of the customer. Once it is sorted it will be esily printed.

How does that make ID not unique

Looks fine to me - What did you think was wrong with it?

Ahhh, Ok. Its record ID and not the ID of the person where I thought wrongly. But in either case for the problem we had to print this Unique key do not have any role to play. We have to sort the list on the basis of the Name and get the values printed.

You posted this exact same question a few days ago. What have you tried since then? Even writing some long, slow, even poor code, to get the job done will give you a starting point. Then post snippets of that code, and the people here will help optimise it.

It isn't difficult as a table, but I dont know how to displey data on win form in this way. If I get names and phones into dataset, how show them?

How can I provide repetition structure unequal form, that contain name and suitable phones, where all phones are visible?

It seems datagridview isn't proper control to realize that. How else can I do it?

how can i count the number of words or letters that i used
as an input?

SAMPLE:
\\ input string: mississippi
\\ input search word: i
\\ result: search found 4 occurences of the word 'i'

If you call string.split and pass in 'i', you can work it out by how many strings it returns.

Or:

string textold= "mississippi";
int countold = textold.Length;
string textnew = textold.Replace("i", "");
int countnew = textnew.Length;
int Found = countold-countnew;

All the best,

it didn't work.. Cry | :((

what if my "input string" is not constant...
what if i can type any letters or words...
how will it work? Confused | :confused:

Hi Martin,

that was my reply months ago to a similar question, look here[^] for
a more compact form of it.

So either you read it and remembered the base idea unknowingly,
or you just reinvented it, it does not really matter.

Nothing got stolen, no problem; chances are I saw
it elsewhere a long time ago, I don't recall.

int i = new List<char>("mississippi".ToCharArray()).FindAll(delegate(char c) { return c == 'i'; }).Count;

Not very maintainable, expensive, possibly slow, but fun!;)

What are you confused about? I suppose we (I) went over the top throwing working but not helpful solutions at you. Detail, clearly, exactly what you want, why these solutions don't work, and we will help. Or at least try.

No, BBC Basic --> Clipper Summer '87 --> C --> C++ --> C#

Just obsessed with delegates (CG's fault partly) and what can be done with them! Big Grin | :-D

I like delegates too, but not that much; I typically try to keep a balance between
the easiest solution to come up with and the best maintainability (these are
not always identical). APL was the language that triggered lots of contests
a la "see what I can do in one line..."

But anything you can do without delegates, you can do with one or more delegates too.
Why not have your Main launch your main form with some delegate ?
