I have got it working like this.
public interface ISettings
{
string Color { get; set; }
}
public interface IDimensions
{
Settings objSettings = new Settings();
int Height { set; get; }
ISettings Settings
{
get
{
return objSettings;
}
set{ }
}
public class Settings : ISettings
{
string Color { get; set; }
}
public class Dimensions : IDimensions
{
public int Height { set; get; }
public Dimensions(int height)
{
Height = height;
}
}
Is this the right coding? It anyway worked for me.
Thanks

That code can't be right. An interface has no logic in it, and your IDimensions interface is implementing things. An interface is a contract - it tells you what the behaviour should look like, but not how it's performed.

As Pete commented, the code you show here won't compile.
A helpful metaphor could be: an Interface is like the blue-print for a house; the house is not a blue-print; and, the blue-print is not a house ... it makes no sense to try and combine a blue-print with a house. Yet, we can say there is a relationship between a blue-print and the house whose construction implemented the design specified in that blue-print.
But, to really describe what is happening in C#, we need to add one more ingredient to the metaphor, the Class (or Struct) as "factory:" the Interface is a blue-print for the Class, and the Class becomes a "factory" when you use it to create new instances of the Class. The house embodies, in a way, the blue-print, but it is neither blue-print, nor the workshop and construction tools used to build it.
Interfaces are useful for many things:
1. they are a contract which Classes or Structs that inherit from the Interface must "fulfill," or implement.
1.a. they assist you in organizing your code
2. they contribute to encapsulation and separation of concerns by allowing you to "hide" certain views of object instances of the Interface by casting them to the Interface. When cast to the Interface, the only "visible" parts of the instances are those which are specified in the Interface and implemented in the Class.
That allows you to pass the Class instance object to other Classes for processing with the guarantee that you cannot change/mess-with the other (now "hidden") Fields, Properties, Methods, etc., of the Class.
So, Interfaces are a way to control what a Class exposes.
3. Interfaces, combined with generic arguments allow you to create 'Factory objects which can produce instances of Classes with varying Types (this is an advanced topic).
Keep in mind that your design of Classes, Structs, Interfaces, Enums, etc. are all ways of expressing your intent. Hopefully, you intent directly expresses your goal: how you want your program to function; how you want your user-interface to handle asynchronous events, etc.
Here's a "guess" on what I think you may be intending:
public interface ISettings
{
string Color { get; set; }
}
public interface IDimensions
{
int Height { set; get; }
}
public class Settings : ISettings
{
string Color { get; set; }
}At this point you have several choices; you could have your 'Dimensions Class inherit from both ISettings and IDimensions:
public class Dimensions : ISettings, IDimensions
Or, you could have it inherit from the 'Settings Class and IDimensions:
public class Dimensions : Settings, IDimensions
In the first case, 'Dimensions would now have to implement a 'Color Property as well as a 'Height Property; in the second case, 'Dimensions would automatically use the 'Height Property defined in the 'Settings Class.
Using the first example: you would then have two options to Cast an instance of the Dimension Class to an Interface "view," or "type:"
// assume you have a 'ctor that takes two parameters
Dimension myDimension = new Dimension(100, Color.AliceBlue);
ISettings myDimensionAsISettings = myDimension as ISettings;
IDimension myDimensionAsIDimension = myDimension as IDimension;
You now effectively have two "restricted views" of the Class instance 'myDimension; you can pass the 'ISettings view to some other Class to use, perhaps modify, and be assured that whatever happens cannot affect the value of the 'Height Property.
Think about your intent, your goal, and keep experimenting and studying; in my experience (as a teacher), it does take time and repeated multiple passes over what 'Interfaces are, and how they work, for it to "sink in"

Hai All. i am a newcomer of c# forum. i have problem with password policy implemetation in c# . i checking password character. but i have doubt in password changing days every 90 days clause in password policy . how to check whether password change required or not ?
|

it depends on how and where the passwords are stored .. if you're using a database, one of the fields you might have in the account/user record is a datetime field for 'password last changed', and another might be a flag for 'needs to change password'
a) at day=0, you force a refresh of all passwords by setting the 'needs to change password flag' to true, and probably just put junk in the password field to force them to use the accepted password change procedure
b) when the user changes their password, you set the 'password last changed' field to (now), and the 'needs to change password' flag to false
c) every day, you run a procedure to go through the 'database' and calculate the difference in days between (now) and the password last changed field - if that figure is '90' you set the 'needs to change password' flag to true
|

As an addition to Garths design, I would have a settings table that stores the policy details. Instead of storing the needs to change flag and requiring a daily process to update it I would use a View which joins the settings table and the user table and calcs the need to change flag.
This eliminates a daily process and makes the policy and therefore the flag dynamic (controlled by the settings table and therefore available to be changed externally).
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Garth's way is fine, but rather than running a procedure every day, I'd do the "does it need changing" test when the user logged in. If it needs changing, then let him in, but take him directly to the "must change password" page, and don't let him in the rest of the site until it's changed.
I'd also dump the boolean "needs changing" value in favour of replacing the "last change" date with a "next change date". That way, then test is simple "is next change less than now?" and it's only one column to update when they do change it: nextChangeDueOn = CurrentDate + 90 days.

I'm using shellexecute in .NET 4.5 to run an program like notepad.
Process newProcess = new Process();
newProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
newProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\Windows\Notepad.exe";
newProcess.Start();
How do I set this notepad.exe that it runs to be the top most window?

You're running a process, one which may or may not open a multitude of windows. The "top most" is a highly contested place; my 3G connection thinks it is the most important application on my machine, but my MP3 player sometimes has similar feelings*. It is frustrating to see them fight for focus while reading your answer.
You can enumerate which windows a process opened. Find yours, and set the WS_EX_TOPMOST[^] style.
--edit;
*) there can be only one

I think the code in this solution to a QA question here: [^] will show you how to make the instance of NotePad.exe the top-most Window using the 'SetForeGroundWindow API call.

What the suject says...
I can format the selection to bold and to italic. but when I want the text bold and italic the formation is set to regular automatically.
Thats my code:
newfont = FontStyle.Bold & FontStyle.Italic;
richTextBox1.SelectionFont = new Font(currentfont.FontFamily, currentfont.Size, newfont);
|

& is AND - a binary operation that returns a 1 in each bit only if the corresponding bit in both operands is 1, and a zero otherwise.
So if these are in Binary:
0011 & 1010 Will return 0010 because only the second bit has matching "1"s in the same position.
The operation you want is OR : | which returns a 1 is either corresponding bit is 1.
0011 | 1010 Will return 1011.
So try:
newfont = FontStyle.Bold | FontStyle.Italic;

thanks a lot it works
do you know how I can say that I will get the currentFontStyle without bold ?
so if the selection is bold and italic and now i just want it in italic?
i only want the code...
|
|
|
|
|
Use:
existingStyle & ~FontStyle.Bold That turns the bit off.

Since you have not shown us the code, it is impossible to answer your question.
|
|
|
|

But surely you kn ow what code he is using? It's the same one everyone else does! You know, the one written in IBM S360/195 assembler in 1982?

Hi,
I have a c# windows application (Ticketing System) and I connect to the database on server (Primary Server) by the network, also I have another server used as a replication server (Secondary Server), my question is
How to make my application connect to the second server (Secondary) automatically if the first server not work or I can't connect to it.
I need my application to be online always with the database and it connect to the available server (try server # 1 if failed connect to server # 2).
Please help me ASAP.
Thank You

The obvious answer is to test if the first connection failed, and if so use the alternate. What exactly is the problem with this logic?
|
|
|
|
|
No it is not a problem but I don't want to depend on the exception when try to connect to the first server, I ask if there is any other way to check the SQL server is available or not.
|
|
|
|
|
That depends on what you mean by available, as there are many reasons why your connection could fail. But there is no way of knowing in advance which one to test for.
|
|
|
|

Google for "SQL Server High Availability". This really has nothing to do with your application code. Your code shouldn't care at all about each individual SQL Server and how to connect to it. All it should know is how to connect to the "cluster".
Keep in the mind that this is expensive and there is no way to reduce any servers downtime to zero. If you implement your "poor mans" solution, remember, you get exactly what you pay for. You may get a cheaper solution the way you want to do it but you also give yourself an administrative nightmare. If the list of servers changes how are you going to tell the clients that and update them?
You have no control over the client hardware, such as network interface, the quality of the connection between the client and the servers, the router and switch hardware between the client and servers, the server hardware itself, ...
There is no such thing as 100% uptime.
