The dataset gets filled from a xml file. So I use dataset.readXML(string filename)

Thanks for the quick reply

I have a column name KEY, so I want to let the user type the KEY value in a textbox, then the grid must display all matches with that textbox value in the KEY column. How will the condition look for that?

Hi Everyone;
I try data dec&enc. small length of data is success but long size of data to return error Length of the data to decrypt is invalid.
Ex.

Encrypt data : 123465
up sample is decrypting no problem
Encrypt data "sample@sample.com"
this value decrypting is return error Length of the data to decrypt is invalid;

What is the problem

Everyone thanks

Block decryption ciphers require that the block size be correct for the cipher to work.

Inheritance and reflection

I've got an abstract base class containing a guild field called _id.

I've derived some classes from my base class.

1 class has overridden the _id field and one hasn't.

My problem is that the object that doesn't override the _id field fails on the SetValue() call with Field == null so i get 'Object reference not set...'

public static void InjectID(Guid id,AbstractBase dataObject)<br />
{<br />
   //Type abstractBaseType = typeof(AbstractBase);<br />
   Type abstractBaseType = dataObject.GetType();<br />
   FieldInfo Field = abstractBaseType .GetField("_id");<br />
   Field.SetValue(dataObject, id);<br />
}<br />

The commented out line was my original code and the line below it was an attempted fix, but both behave in the same way.

Is there a way of getting to the fields defined in a base class?

Thanks

Russell

Is the _id field a public field? If not the GetField method cannot find it, since it is only looking for public fields with the given field.
To find private fields use the GetField overload that takes an additional bitmask of one or more BindingsFlags e.g.

abstractBaseType.GetField("_id", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);

damn, that works. I don't understand why the one that overrides it worked fine though.

Thanks for the suggestion. All my constructors are called like that, got thrown of the scent by the object that worked.

Thanks again

base._id

I am not sure what are you doing here.

Are you using reflection because _id is private? Why not use protected virtual method/property? Is InjectID method of AbstractBaseClass?

I'm writing a factory class that populates the objects from a database.

The id field has a public get accessor but no set accessor for obvious reasons. The object is not defined in the same project as the datafactory so I can't use internal to get to it.

InjectID is in the abstractFactoryBase class from which my databasefactory is derived.

Probably a crazy way to design an app but it's working the way i want with that last change and so far it seems very clean to use.

There is attribute that does that. InternalsVisibleToAttribute[^]. Little brutal tho.

Problems when removing from ListBox

sinosoidal29-Mar-07 22:56

Hi,

I'm creating something looked like the development enviorment in Visual Studio.

I have a panel with a listbox for "Activities".

I also have a panel with properties to change those activities properties.

I'm working on the deletion of activities but i'm having problems with the listbox.

i have the following two functions

<br />
private void lbActivities_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
        {<br />
            if (lbActivities.Items.Count!=0)<br />
            {<br />
                selectedActivityName = lbActivities.SelectedItem.ToString();<br />
                selectedActivityIndex = activities.FindIndex(withName);<br />
<br />
                pgProperties.SelectedObject = activitiesPropertyBags[selectedActivityIndex];<br />
            }<br />
        }<br />

This is a event for the listbox item change.

Well, i use two global variables to keep track of the selected item name and index. I also use a list to store my activities.

(is this stupid? could i use the listbox to do the same as the list, and avoid the use of two different structures?)

And here i have the code for deletion:

<br />
if (lbActivities.Items.Count != 0)<br />
            {<br />
                if (selectedActivityIndex == 0) {<br />
                    selectedActivityIndex = (lbActivities.Items.Count - 1) - 1;<br />
                    lbActivities.SelectedItem = lbActivities.Items[selectedActivityIndex];<br />
                }<br />
                else {<br />
                    selectedActivityIndex = lbActivities.SelectedIndex - 1;<br />
                    lbActivities.SelectedItem = lbActivities.Items[selectedActivityIndex];<br />
                }<br />
<br />
                lbActivities.Items.Remove(selectedActivityName);<br />
                activities.RemoveAt(activities.FindIndex(withName));<br />
            }<br />
        }<br />

The problem is that when the lbActivities.Items.Remove(selectedActivityName); is executed, the SelectedIndexChanged callback is called, and occurs an exception in the following instruction:

selectedActivityName = lbActivities.SelectedItem.ToString();

This happens even after i wrote the code above, which trys to change the selected item in order to avoid the selection of non existent item.

Any tips?

Thank you very much,

Nuno

you could set a bool _deletion in progress when you start doing the delete. In the selectedindex changed look for that flag and exit after changing it back to false.

The temptation with a lot of this code is to stick your list into a listbox and use it to maintain your collection. I always try not to do this as i find it leads to logic that is very hard to disentangle from presentation code. It may take more effort to maintain code this way at the start but later on you'll be glad of the separation if, for instance, you want to switch to using a treeview instead.

Creating a custom Vista HotFix INstaller..plz help

ke3p_up29-Mar-07 22:34

29-Mar-07 22:34

hi guys

there's probably others way of installing 2 or more HotFixes on Vista, but i've decided that I'm going to write a program in C#, one that:

1 - will ask you to add the Htofixes to be installed
2 - Will send each of those Hotfixes to CMD.eXE in format of
eg : START /WAIT Windows6.0-KB931675-x86.msu /QUIET /NORESTART

but i'm already stock. i can't figure out to send a command such the one above to cmd.exe. i also have to wait til cmd returns from wat its doing before i can send the other command to it . How cam i do that? plz help

thanx

?

[correction]:

i tried:
Process.Start("CMD",@"START /WAIT C:\\Downloads\\Windows6.0-KB931675-x86.msu /QUIET /NORESTART");

but instead of the command been applied through CMD, i get
"Visual Studio 2005\Projects\WindowsApplication
2\WindowsApplication2\bin\Debug>" in CMD?

Also how is it possible to detect when CMD has returned from applying the patch? for example if i have 5 patches to apply, if i put on through CMD , i need to wait until that patch is done, and once thats done, only then i want the second patch to be appied. how can i detect that?

thanx

ok got that fixed Smile | :)

it should be :

Process.Start("CMD",@"/C START /WAIT C:\\Downloads\\Windows6.0-KB931675-x86.msu /QUIET /NORESTART");

Now how can i detect when CMD has finished processing the current patch and is ready so i can send the other patch to CMD then? thanx

Hi all,

I'm looking for a way to call functions in a VS2005 Shared Addin from an external VS2005 application.

a) The functions defined in Addin need some special demands?
b) In application how to invoke the function?

Thanks

Load xml string with ‘&’ sign

I’m try to read a xml-string into an XmlDocument like this:

string xml = "valid xml";<br />
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();<br />
doc.LoadXml(xml);

It works perfect if I don’t have any strange characters like ‘&’.
Why do I get the following exception if I use ‘&’:

at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(Exception e)
at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(String res, String arg)
at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ParseEntityName()
at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ParseEntityReference()
at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Read()
at System.Xml.XmlLoader.LoadNode(Boolean skipOverWhitespace)
at System.Xml.XmlLoader.LoadDocSequence(XmlDocument parentDoc)
at System.Xml.XmlLoader.Load(XmlDocument doc, XmlReader reader, Boolean preserveWhitespace)
at System.Xml.XmlDocument.Load(XmlReader reader)
at System.Xml.XmlDocument.LoadXml(String xml)

Because the string that you call "valid xml" is not valid xml. You have to encode characters like & into &.
