i got it...
i have tried this
for (int i = 0; i <= ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count - 1; i++)
{
ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["UID"] = 12; // or your dates
}
instead of
ds.Tables[0].Columns.Add("UID").defaultValue=12;
Thanks to every one of those who could not help me

Currently the application I have is single threaded. When the user goes into the form it sends a query to mySQL and starts to populate the UI with data.
The question I have is should I being running this on a separate thread using the invoke methods or is there some other/better way of doing this.
The queries are fairly optimized although they are not stored procs. When we run this in some of our centers that are on VPN this can take alot of time.
Any ideas and or suggestions welcome.
Thank you.
BTW I will be doing this reworking in VS2010 so these would actually be task...

IMO everything that fetches data outside the local PC needs to be threaded (as well as lengthy calculations), you simply should never let the GUI responsiveness depend on external factors. However I'm not sure many will agree, this point of view may well be considered too academic.
Example: I just finished tthis article[^], it is a little app that fetches web pages from the CodeProject site, using BackgroundWorkers. Data fetching tends to take several seconds.

What are your thoughts on updating the ui like that would it be better to load all of the data into a class and update the ui from that

I think that goes without saying. But using MVC or MVVM doesn't preclude performing the data fetch asynchronously.

I am not familiar with MVS MVVM...
I am referring to winforms I don't know if that makes a difference or not...

MVVM = Model View View-Model
Model = "class" (what holds the data)
View = "ui" (what presents the data)
View-Model = "ui class" (adds properties and such to a model so it plays well with the view)
Of those, the view-model is probably the most difficult to understand. For example, if you had a TreeView (a "view" component) that presented Animals (the model/class), you'd use an AnimalNode that both holds a reference to an Animal (exposing all it's properties) and has properties such as "IsSelected" (a view-centric property that needs to be stored somewhere, in this case on the view-model).
That's the high level... but to answer your question, yes it's a good idea to store data in instances of a class and then present that using a ui. I recommend loading all the data into an intermediate collection on a different thread, then call back to the main thread to present all that data in the view. Depending on the scenario, you may want to present the items in a streaming manner rather than after it's completely loaded (streaming = slower, but user gets first results faster).

Pretty much any lengthy processing should be performed on a separate thread.

I am using this code when for activated to get the URL address but the Messagebox keeps poping up when user clicked Yes or No.. why it's not returning? where is my mistake?
private void frmLinksEntry_Activated(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string url_address = Clipboard.GetText();
if (url_address != string.Empty)
{
try
{
System.Uri xx = new Uri(url_address);
}
catch (FormatException exp)
{
return;
}
if (MessageBox.Show("Do you want to use the selected URL?", "Link", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question) == DialogResult.Yes)
{
txtURL.Text = url_address;
}
}
}
|
|

|

You have shown a handler for the Activated event which will be called whenever the frmLinksEntry control receives focus. It's a bad idea to pop up a messagebox from the handler as this causes the control to lose and then regain focus. The Activated event fires again and the messagebox reopens etc etc etc.

but that's what i want, i mean when the user go to copy the URL from the browser then comes back to my application with the URL in clipboard and the frmLinksEntry active it should ask if he wants to use the copied URL?!
|
|
|
|
|
If the URL you get from the clipboard is the same as the URL in the textbox, then do not show the dialog again.
|
|
|
|
|
but it's not the same! the textbox is empty already!
|
|
|
|
|
I didn't say anything about the textbox being empty.

How do you expect anyone to give you a solution if your only symptom is "It's not working"?

Read the article again; point 3 explains how to add the reference.

You will have to read the documentation on MSDN, and also try searching Google. There is no universal index of this sort of thing and people tend to publish articles on lots of sites. I doubt that you will find a full step by step guide to what you want though.

so you mean there is no reference guide for it?!!

As I said before you can go through the MSDN Documentation[^]. If you want to get familiar with Microsoft technology you need to use MSDN as your prime source of information.

Does anybody know how to do this with the information entered in
this format? ##.####
I thought it might be in the Math class but isn't.
Thanks for any help.

It's not a built-in function, but it's certainly not hard to do the arithmetic.
Subtract the int part of ##.#### from the original. The remainder will be .####. Multiply that by 60 and again take the int part of the result - that's the minutes. Subtract the minutes from the result of the first multiplication, then multiply the result by 60 again. The result is the seconds, though there may be a decimal part in the result if the original datum wasn't an integral number of seconds. You can remove that if you don't want it by again taking only the int part of the result.
I don't yet have enough experience with the language to suggest the syntax - for all I know, Convert.ToInt() might round, rather than truncate real values. If so you'll have to try another dodge. But it shouldn't be too difficult to manage. It's such a frequent problem, though, that I'm rather surprised that MS didn't include it as a stock function.
