So really the upshot of this is that in order to actually convert BaseClass into a DerivedClass (rather than just changing references) is by explicitly mapping all the properties from BaseClass to DerivedClass?

Since both objects have different signatures, as far as I know you must copy eaach property separately. This can of course be done by explicitely setting each property but also by using reflection in which case you can create a small dynamic loop to set each property.
Previously I have used both techniques a lot, but since .Net Framework 2.0, when generics were introduced, I've been able to get rid of most of the reflection loops by using generic definitions. I'm not sure if they could help you in your case, but if you're not familiar with them, I believe that it's well spent time to have a look.
Hope this helps,
Mika

I am having a combobox on my windows form. i want to display some records in it which is in the datatable. The datatable contains only 1 column
(lets say column name is products).Inside the selected index changed event of combobox I write this line of code:-
// count is no of rows in my datatable
// dt is datable.
for(i=0;i<count;i++)>
{
Combobox1.Items.Add(dt.rows[i])
}
problem is that my combobox is not populating records,but my datable has all records of products column in it.I am using connected architecture.

Why do you want to populate at this event? Shouldn't it be on form load. 
Next, once you have the data in datatable, you can directly bind the combobox using the datasource property.
Please remember to rate helpful or unhelpful answers, it lets us and people reading the forums know if our answers are any good.

AFAIK, DataTable is not a connected architecture.

Hello!
Does anyone know how to send a ^ using the SendKeys class?
All other characters I tested work fine. ^ of course needs to be escaped using {^} (because ^ would press Ctrl), however when sending {^} it actually types a & ...
Best regards

Hi,
noticed this on documentation:
If your application is intended for international use with a variety of keyboards, the use of Send could yield unpredictable results and should be avoided
while SendWait-method does not have this note.

Sorry, I should have pointed out that I'm already using the SendWait static method of the SendKeys class.
Any other idea?
Best regards

If you change the keyboard layout to English, caret works just fine, but for example with Finnish layout, ampersand is sent instead caret (just like in your case). Since every other character works as expected, I would consider this as a possible bug.

Hi,
I'm creating a DAL for my project and I implemented IDisposable in my class because I wanted to dispose the SqlConnection object and SqlCommand object. The code goes like this:
public class CustomerDal:IDisposable
{
SqlConnection connection;
SqlCommand command;
private bool _IsDisposed = false;
public void Dispose()
{
Dispose(true);
}
protected virtual void Dispose(bool IsDisposing)
{
if (_IsDisposed)
return;
if (IsDisposing)
{
if (connection != null)
connection.Dispose();
if (command != null)
command.Dispose();
}
_IsDisposed = true;
}
}
during compilation, I get the error:
new protected member declared in sealed class
I dont use any unmanaged objects, so I need to dispose only connection and command object in this class. Could anyone help me with this error?
Regards,
Blumen

If you seal the class then you cannot inherit from it. If you cannot inherit from it then protected is a pointless access modifier to use. Use private instead of protected.
protected means that only members of this class (and any nested classes) and any class that inherits from it. private means only this class (and any nested classes).
Also, the virtual keyword is also pointless in a sealed class.

Thanks alot, making it private gets rid of the error.
But dispose is a method of base class, so is it okay to remove the virtual keyword?

The virtual keyword is supposed to go in the base class. In the derived class you override the method.

Does that mean I have to override dispose on my class like:
private override void Dispose(bool IsDisposing)
and make class sealed

If Dispose(bool) exists in the base class then yes.
Blumen wrote: and make class sealed
Sealing the class is not necessary - It was something that you wanted to do already.
Sealing a class means that nothing can inherit from the sealed class. If that is what you want then seal the class. If that is not what you want, or if you don't know whether you will want to inherit from the class then don't seal it.

Thank you for your time, I appreciate you patience in answering my queries.
I'm planning to use my DAL class with ObjectDatasource control in ADO.NET 2.0. So will this control call my class's Dispose() ?

I don't think so. Just put break points in the dispose method, or write some log entries in the dispose method to find out it calls dispose.
I don't know your whole DAL design, but from the code provided, I didn't find any use of implementing IDisposable here. You could dispose the command and connection after using it. Something like
public class CustomerDal
{
public void AddCustomer(...){
using(SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(...))
using(SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(connection,...)){
}
}
}. This ensures dispose of connection and command gets called after using it.

The reason why I implemented IDisposable is because i ran my dll in FxCop and it suggested me to use IDisposable because I was using SqlConnection and SqlCommand objects.

This is the whole problem with FxCop (and utility's like it). They give broad brush guidelines that people tend to end up as treating as gospel. This suggestion only makes sense if your SqlConnection/SqlCommand objects are member variables. If they are a local variable then there is no sense in using IDisposable to manage this.

While that is generally true, FxCop does provide some very solid guidelines. The end result is that it should be up to the developer/development team/... to decidd which guidelines are appropriate. I know that isn't always the case, but that's the idea behind these types of tools. They also help people learn the right way to do the majority of things in .NET.

Based on the sample code in the original message, this is the case so the guideline is accurate.

Very true and if that were the case, FxCop never would have flagged this issue.

Correct. It told you that because you are declaring your SqlConnection and SqlCommand variables as class-wide variables. In that case, you do need to implement IDisposable.
