All of the standard sorted collections require unique keys which violates one of OP's requirements.

We always strive for minimal time; how many elements are in your list?

Then they're no longer "keys", but simply values. That equates to an array of objects - so, an IComparer would sort that.

You need a collection of ... what ? And, what is the "sorting algorithm" you require/need/want ?
.NET hands you the ability to easily sort (using a QuickSort algorithm) generic Lists of value types by just invoking the 'Sort function: "All numeric types (such as Int32 and Double) implement IComparable, as do String, Char, and DateTime. Custom types should also provide their own implementation of IComparable to enable object instances to be ordered or sorted."
And, writing your own IComparable is not that difficult; for example:
If you have a TreeNode Collection:
public List<TreeNode> sTNList = new List<TreeNode>
{
new TreeNode("1"),
new TreeNode("1"),
new TreeNode("2"),
new TreeNode("4"),
new TreeNode("1"),
new TreeNode("4"),
new TreeNode("8"),
new TreeNode("2"),
new TreeNode("3")
};You can easily define a custom IComparer Class to sort the nodes:
public class TreeNodeICompare : IComparer<TreeNode>
{
public int Compare(TreeNode x, TreeNode y)
{
return(x.Text.CompareTo(y.Text));
}
}And invoke it:
sTNList.Sort(0, sTNList.Count, new TreeNodeICompare()); See [^] for the documentation on the call to 'Sort used here. And, note: "This method uses Array.Sort, which uses the QuickSort algorithm. This implementation performs an unstable sort; that is, if two elements are equal, their order might not be preserved. In contrast, a stable sort preserves the order of elements that are equal. ... On average, this method is an O(n log n) operation, where n is Count; in the worst case it is an O(n ^ 2) operation."
Using a non-unique property of a collection, like the 'Text property of a TreeNode, you avoid possible duplicate key issues that might arise with other types of collections.
Perhaps if you describe the scenario in which your collection is being used you can get more than a "mind-reader's guess" type of response here.

If your list is almost sorted, you could use your own sort alogrithm.
If your run some tests[^], you will notice bubble sort does fairly well with lists that are almost sorted.

You could use the OrderBy<TSource, TKey>(Func<TSource, TKey>) extension method.
The actual sorting is deffered until result gets enumerated, so the call to OrderBy() itself is fast.
It performs a stable sort, which means that the order of already sorted elements is preserved.
it does not sort the original sequence in-place. Instead, the returned IEnumerable<tsource> returns elements of the original sequence in sorted order.
And you can speed things up a bit with parallel LINQ like:
var result = sourceSequence.AsParallel().OrderBy(item => item.Key);

Hi all,
i am trying to develop a simple application to capture image from USB 2.0 PC camera by pressing the phyiscal button on the camera.
i tried the below code. please help me. in the below code need to press button on the windows application to capture image from usb camera where as i need to capture image from physical button present on the camera.
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
webcam = new FilterInfoCollection(FilterCategory.VideoInputDevice);
foreach (FilterInfo VideoCaptureDevice in webcam)
{
comboBox1.Items.Add(VideoCaptureDevice.Name);
}
comboBox1.SelectedIndex = 1;
cam = new VideoCaptureDevice(webcam[comboBox1.SelectedIndex].MonikerString);
cam.NewFrame += new NewFrameEventHandler(cam_NewFrame);
cam.Start();
}
private FilterInfoCollection webcam;
private VideoCaptureDevice cam;
Bitmap bitmap;
void cam_NewFrame(object sender, NewFrameEventArgs eventArgs)
{
bitmap = (Bitmap)eventArgs.Frame.Clone();
pictureBox1.Image = bitmap;
}
private void pictureBox1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
pictureBox1.Image = bitmap;
}
private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (cam.IsRunning)
{
cam.Stop();
}
}
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Bitmap current = (Bitmap)bitmap.Clone();
string filepath = Environment.CurrentDirectory;
string fileName = System.IO.Path.Combine(filepath, @"name.bmp");
current.Save(fileName);
current.Dispose();
}

The VideoCaptureDevice class does not expose any events; AFAIK there's no code triggered by .NET on a physical push on a button on a device. It's not something that's "standard" available for any webcam.

Thanks for the reply.
any other solution? or sample code to do?

You should have to get with the manufacturer of the camera for an SDKto use so you can get at the button on it.

I need to make a 'bot' style program that will mimic real life user interface. On the fist page I have a login/pass on submit. This step I have conqured:
webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("ctl00_MainContentArea_sei_form_password").SetAttribute("value", "PASSWORD");
webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("ctl00_MainContentArea_sei_form_username").SetAttribute("value", "USER");
HtmlElementCollection elc = this.webBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("input");
foreach (HtmlElement el in elc)
{
if (el.GetAttribute("type").Equals("submit") && el.GetAttribute("name").Equals("ctl00$MainContentArea$sei_form_submit"))
{
el.InvokeMember("click");
}
}

This is set to not allow a cookie post/response set, so i need to try to get some kind of mouse move, tab move, and click value to associate the hyperlinks that are buried inside of that flash element.
All ideas are welcome!

What do you want to achieve: a tool for testing a website or a robot which downloads some files from some web location?
And neither of them would use "mouse move" etc., they look for the element (here: href), get the necessary data (i.e. URL), and perform the correct operation (i.e. download) on them.

Doesn't seem to be much info on them. Main goal is, given an array of polygon points, I want to extract / copy that region of the CAD drawing and save it out to a separate file. Preferably a TIFF. This is for work, so if I need to purchase a library, that is definitely an option. This is for a throw away / in-house util, so the quickest / easiest way would be best. Performance is an issue as this will be used in a big production run.
EDIT: CAD files will be pretty large... I don't think I want to use a command line AutoCad -> TIFF converter and then load the TIFF file... although that'd probably work, performance would be the issue as the large CAD file would have to be loaded, and then I'd have to load the TIFF file again. Twice the work.

Twice the work for the computer. How much weeks are you prepared to spend optimizing this task? And what would the gain be in terms of time saved, divided by the money spent during development?

Seen it. Not very useful. Yes, twice the work for the computer. Runtime is important. If it takes 5 seconds to load the file, 5 seconds to convert it in memory, 5 seconds to write it out, then another 5 seconds to load the TIFF version, that is not a good implementation for us. 20 seconds overhead is not a big deal for a single run, but when you are talking about 10,000 runs, that 20 seconds becomes 200,000 seconds = 55 hours. 100,000 runs now takes an extra 23 *DAYS*.

Do they have to be processed sequentially by the same machine, or would it be allowed to divide and conquer?

It has been a long time since I worked with AutoCad (2000 version), but couldn't you do this from within AutoCad by creating a layout with a polygon viewport and then plotting that to a TIFF print driver?

Hi,
I have a field in the database, which has 3 static values tied to it. Is there a way to define in the .dbml file some static values?
Meaning there is field called "CustomerType" in the database. CutomerType has only 3 values in dropdown, Patient, Physician, Nurse. Is there a way to tie this column to static values?
Thanks!!

|

What do you mean by "static" here? AFAIK, each record would be made "static" by it's primary key.
You mean that the list doesn't change? Then why not hardcode it? Would it hurt much to assume that at one point someone will add a "nurse chief"?

Hi,
This project is set up as a Dynamic Data Scaffolding project. Something that is new to me.
I am trying to insert an item, but it should have a dropdown list of the items.
