Ok, then you have to do it the old fashoned way:
int[] values = dictionary.Values.ToArray();
values.Sort();
int tr = values[values.Length - 10];
List<KeyValuePair<string,int>> result = new List<KeyValuePair<string,int>>();
foreach (KeyValuePair<string,int> item in dictionary) {
if (item.Value >= tr) {
result.Add(item);
}
}
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

Quickly, off the top of my head, you could create a linked list of objects with which you will do an insertion sort. You then run the dictionary, inserting objects into the array ONLY if the value is higher than the value at position zero OR if the array is empty. When inserting a new object, just insert it in the correct place.
Wow, I was being exceptionally thick tonight. I just realized that you could just use an OrderedDictionary.
Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine.

Thanks Joe,
This is what I am doing currently, I think this approach is manual and I want to find whether there are some existing classes/APIs could do this -- sort by value or key/value pair?

Hello All--
I have a List<double[]> Values, where each double[] is an array representing one series (not from a database). I can have several dozen double[] and each can be 100k+ items.
I would like to display this to the user in a datagrid (I know this is a lot of information, but the user needs to be able to browse). Due to the size, it is prohibative to load the entire thing into the grid at once, instead loading rows as needed. From Google, it seems like I need to bind this data source to the datagrid.
I've tried this:
currencyManager = (CurrencyManager)dataGridViewData.BindingContext[Data.Values];
dataGridViewData.DataSource = Data.Values;
But this displays the property of each List<> item (the double[]) in the grid (length, rank, etc).
Any suggestions on how to properly bind this data source?
Thanks

Hi,
Is there some macro recorder in c# like the VB macro recorder in MS Excel?
I have visual studio 2008 pro, i hoped it to be there when editing excel in visual c#.
Thanks

I know there is one, not sure about the pro version, but I have that installed at work, so I can look for you in about 8 hours

Yes the Pro version does have a macro recorder.

I have a DataTable (dt) with a DataColumn (dc) whose Datatype is System.Int64.
I want this column to display the 64 bit Int in Hexadecimal format, as if the number had been converted like Int64Data.ToString("X").
What property of a column controls this display? There's no "format" property for a column, and "Expression" appears to be for aggregation.
It's important that the column datatype remain INT64 (and not string), or I would just do the formatting conversion myself.
Can somebody point me to the correct method for setting the column display formatting?
Thanks.

Doh. Of course. You don't format the display of a DataTable DataColumn, because it's never displayed. You format the display of the column in the DataGridView, in which the DataTable data is displayed.
Man, you don't do any table stuff for a year, and you forget everything.

Hi!
While browsing the .Net Framework source code I saw many methods marked extern, but without a DllImport attributte. My question is how could I use the extern keyword that way and when is it useful (no documentation on msdn; the only thing I found is this post[^].
For example, in String.cs:
[MethodImplAttribute(MethodImplOptions.InternalCall)]
private extern String PadHelper(int totalWidth, char paddingChar, bool isRightPadded);
And in comstring.cpp:
FCIMPL4(Object*, COMString::PadHelper, StringObject* thisRefUNSAFE,
INT32 totalWidth, CLR_CHAR paddingChar, CLR_BOOL isRightPadded)
{
CONTRACTL {
DISABLED(GC_TRIGGERS);
THROWS;
MODE_COOPERATIVE;
SO_TOLERANT;
} CONTRACTL_END;
STRINGREF refRetVal = NULL;
STRINGREF thisRef = (STRINGREF) thisRefUNSAFE;
HELPER_METHOD_FRAME_BEGIN_RET_ATTRIB_1(Frame::FRAME_ATTR_RETURNOBJ, thisRef);
WCHAR *thisChars, *padChars;
INT32 thisLength;
if (thisRef==NULL) {
COMPlusThrow(kNullReferenceException, L"NullReference_This");
}
(...)
So: how do I have to setup the compiler to build a program which has some methods marked as "InternalCall", without making a separate unmanaged DLL library.
Another question is why VS won't download the unmanaged parts of a source code and forces as to search for them manually...

This is normally built into the assembly. I do not know the exact details, but I think the method body just refers to some unmanaged section of code. I think you can 'get this' by using the Managed C++ compiler.

Hi,
From a webservice, is it possible to print out something directy to the printer? (Without showing the default internet explorer print dialog). I need that because a few barcode printers required data in a special format (usually an ascii sequence)
Thanks,

As long as your server has a printer it should work

Hi,
Sorry, I think my question was not good. My actual question is: Is it possible to print a line or something directly to a windows printer installed in the computer where the .aspx is been called? For example, If I make a webapplication, put a button on it and an event when the user clicks that button some text must be printed as it is, without the pre-formatation internet explorer does. If it's possible, how can I do that?
Thanks,
Dirso.

Hi,
1) I need to create a webservice that should receive a file and some string data and then write to the response stream the results
2) The major problem: How to create a client software that uploads async a file to this webservice and gets the responde with the results? I think the WebClient class doesn't fit my needs, because it was suppose to upload the file quietly, gets the response (and it can be a big response) also quietly and after all that shows a message or write to the log file the results
Thanks,
Dirso.

I need to retrieve some information from a text file that basically consists of two columns of data in a tab delimited format. The first column consists of a unique identifier to lookup the main piece of information contained in the second column. This text file will consist of approximately 60,000 lines of data and I need to search through the text file in response to a particular event to retrieve the main piece of information from the text file using the unique identifier to search the file.
This search process needs to occur rapidly (t < 1 second). Is there a way to search a text file that rapidly? Alternatively, I could pull this information into an MS Access database (the database format used by my application) each time the user logs in to my application and perform a basic SQL query to retrieve the relevant information.
Any advice regarding the best method for searching this information (searching text file or importing text file data into database or some other method) would be appreciated.
Thank you.

The database option would be fine with me. I think that the text file that my application will be supplied with will be updated only once a day and my application is used throughout the day with only 1 or 2 log in events per 8 hour shift, so if I retrieve the information from the database only on log in, I should be OK.
Another question I have, though, is how to optimize retrieving the information from the text file. I would need some sort of BULK INSERT utility with MS Access. I know SQL Server has a BULK INSERT command, but unfortunately I do not have the luxury of using SQL Server at present. Is there a way to get the same functionality from Access?
Thanks.

Hi,
there is a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition which is free, and I trust a
better performer than Access is.
