Hi
Can any one provide me with help on how to serialize this collection of objects? I was trying to put some tags, but I am not really getting anywhere.
<br />
[XmlRoot ()]<br />
public class TableList<br />
{<br />
private ArrayList tableList;<br />
<br />
public TableList()<br />
{<br />
tableList = new ArrayList();<br />
}<br />
<br />
[XmlArray("tables")]<br />
public MyTableItem[] Tables<br />
{<br />
get<br />
{<br />
MyTableItem[] tables = new MyTableItem [tableList.Count];<br />
tableList.CopyTo(tables);<br />
return tables;<br />
} <br />
}<br />
<br />
public int AddTable(MyTableItem table)<br />
{<br />
return tableList.Add(table);<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
public class MyTableItem<br />
{<br />
TableInfo TableInfo = new TableInfo();<br />
<br />
[XmlElement("name")]<br />
public string TableName = string.Empty;<br />
[XmlElement("id")]<br />
public string OasisID = string.Empty;<br />
[XmlElement("Info")]<br />
public Object TableInformation = new Object();<br />
<br />
public MyTableItem ()<br />
{<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
public MyTableItem (string Name, string OasisID)<br />
{<br />
this.TableName = Name;<br />
this.OasisID = OasisID;<br />
TableInformation = TableInfo.GetTableInformation(Name);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
public class TableInfo<br />
{<br />
public TableInfo ()<br />
{<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
public Object GetTableInformation (string tableName)<br />
{<br />
if (tableName == "Table1")<br />
{<br />
Table1 tb1 = new Table1();<br />
return tb1;<br />
}<br />
<br />
if (tableName == "Table2")<br />
{<br />
Table2 tb2 = new Table2();<br />
return tb2;<br />
}<br />
return null; <br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
public class Table1<br />
{<br />
[XmlAttribute()]<br />
public string Prop = "Hello";<br />
<br />
public Table1()<br />
{<br />
<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
public class Table2<br />
{<br />
[XmlAttribute()]<br />
public string WhatIsThis = "Test string";<br />
<br />
public Table2()<br />
{<br />
<br />
}<br />
}<br />
Thank you very much!

A couple of posts down you were saying that you serialized an object. Did you read my response or you are just asking around without a clue?

Does anyone know how can I position the new form so that it shows the new record from the database, and not the first one?
I tried it like this, but it didn't work:
<br />
CurrencyManager cm = (CurrencyManager)this.BindingContext[myDataSet, "Author"];<br />
int numberOfRows = cm.Count;<br />
cm.Position = numberOfRows + 1;<br />

If you have a column that contains an Auto-Generated Index then you can sort by that and then pick either the first or last row based on how you sort. Otherwise, you would have to monitor each insert and handle it that way.

Anyone know a good method for implementing a findnext-ish function on a BindingSource?
bindingSourceObject.Find works great for finding single rows but won't find the next value.
I'm thinking maybe declaring a DataRow array and assigning its value with dataTableObject.Select. Once I do that I use bindingSourceObject.IndexOf(dataRowArray[nextindex]) to get the desired position of the next row.
Does anyone have any better, more efficient ideas? If so, I'd like to hear them.
|
|
|
|
|
I guess I was on the right track. Here's the code that makes it work.
BindingSource _mainBS;<br />
string _fieldname;<br />
TARData.TARDataSet.DataRow[] _mRA;<br />
string _searchstring;<br />
int _currentPosition;
_mainBS is assigned by a constructor, likewise _fieldname.
public void FindNext() {<br />
if (_searchstring != textBox1.Text)<br />
{<br />
_searchstring = textBox1.Text;<br />
_currentPosition = 0;<br />
string searchCrit = getColumnSearchString(((DataRowView)_mainBS.Current).DataView.Table.Columns[_fieldname].DataType);<br />
_mRA = (TARData.TARDataSet.Carter_TAR_MainRow[])((DataRowView)_mainBS.Current).DataView.Table.Select(<br />
searchCrit + " LIKE '%" + _searchstring + "%'");<br />
}<br />
<br />
if (_mRA.Length > 0) {<br />
this._mainBS.Position = this._mainBS.Find("Main_ID", _mRA[_currentPosition]["Main_ID"]); ;<br />
}<br />
_currentPosition = (_currentPosition + 1) % _mRA.Length;<br />
}
Just in case _fieldname is an int type, I throw in this little tidbit to perform a convert.
private string getColumnSearchString(Type type)<br />
{<br />
if (type == typeof(int))<br />
return "Convert(" + _fieldname + ",System.String)";<br />
else return _fieldname;<br />
}
Not too efficient, but I still like admiring it. Not a bad way to spend an hour of my day.

Is there anyway to unbox an object without knowing its exact type? I have a situation where I have an object that is guaranteed to be castable to a double. I want to compare it to another value that I have stored as a double. Just casting the object to a double results in an invalid cast exception if the object is not of type double.
The only other way I can see to do this is to hard code cases for every value type that the object could possibly be, but this is obviously a pretty undesirable solution.
|
|
|
|
|
You could always try
try{
Convert.ToDouble(...)
}
catch (...)
{
}If you're using .NET1.1. If you're using .NET2 then take a look at
bool isDouble = double.TryParse(value.ToString(), out doubleVal);
|
|
|
|

Thanks for the advice. Parsing it as a string works perfectly.

How can this
jka347 wrote: Just casting the object to a double results in an invalid cast exception if the object is not of type double
be a problem if this
<blockquote class="FQ"><div class="FQA">jka347 wrote:</div>an object that is guaranteed to be castable to a double</blockquote>
is true?
You could also try object.Equals ( val1 , val2 )

Hey guys, I have this really weird issues and I can't seem to figure it out, the code list below run fine with no errors what so ever when I run it from a GUI application, but when i put it into a service and use it, it gives me a System.NullException error, but what is weird is that it gives me that error in the Finally Statement, but for some reason it doesn't even bother writing to the registry like it is suppose to, but it keep in mind the exact same code works if it is in a GUI application.
I have labeled the two lines that the error is given at.
Thanks for those who help.

Hi,
your code is not safe.
regKey initially is null, it is only some way down the try block it may get a non-null
value, yet you use it without any checking in the finally block.
Imagine OpenCon() fails, you'll drop into the finally without a valid regKey.
remedy: perform a null-test in the finally.
in future: add debug/log statements, or single-step through your code. You can easily
solve this kind of problems yourself.

I appreciate your help, I added the code to check for null values. Another question I am hoping maybe you can help with is, I added debug code to help me sort out any further issues and I noticed that the line that says:
rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
fails to execute, it drops immediatley into the catch block, do you have any ideas why that may be happening.
Thanks,
Travis

Hi,
when you catch an exception you should display and log the entire exception.ToString(),
not just parts of it. That probably will tell you some.

CREATE PROCEDURE msp_AddPreferredProperty
i have this code. I want that if the property and username exists it wont be added for 2nd time, but if they dont exists i want them to be added in the table
thanks
@CustomerUsername varchar(50),
@PropertyId int
As
if EXISTS
( Select count(*) From tblPreferredProperty Where CustomerUsername = @CustomerUsername
And PropertyId = @PropertyId)
Begin
Insert into tblPreferredProperty(PropertyId, CustomerUsername)
values(@PropertyId, @CustomerUsername)
End
GO
|

Looks not far off to me. Try this:
create proc msp_AddPreferredProperty
(
@CustomerUsername varchar(50),
@PropertyId int
)
as
if not exists(select 1 from tblPreferredProperty where CustomerUsername = @CustomerUsername And PropertyId = @PropertyId)
insert into tblPreferredProperty(PropertyId, CustomerUsername) values (@PropertyId, @CustomerUsername)
go

Hi!
I have the following classes:
<br />
[XmlRoot("shoppingList")]<br />
public class ShoppingList<br />
{<br />
private ArrayList listShopping;<br />
<br />
public ShoppingList()<br />
{<br />
listShopping = new ArrayList();<br />
}<br />
<br />
[XmlElement("item")]<br />
public Item[] Items<br />
{<br />
get<br />
{<br />
Item[] items = new Item[listShopping.Count];<br />
listShopping.CopyTo(items);<br />
return items;<br />
}<br />
set<br />
{<br />
if (value == null) return;<br />
Item[] items = (Item[])value;<br />
listShopping.Clear();<br />
foreach (Item item in items)<br />
listShopping.Add(item);<br />
}<br />
} <br />
<br />
public int AddItem(Item item)<br />
{<br />
return listShopping.Add(item);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
public class Item<br />
{<br />
[XmlElement("name")]<br />
public string name;<br />
[XmlElement("price")]<br />
public double price;<br />
<br />
public Item()<br />
{<br />
}<br />
<br />
public Item(string Name, string Price)<br />
{<br />
name = Name;<br />
price = Convert.ToDouble(Price);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
When I Serialize it I get the following XML back:
<br />
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><shoppingList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><item><name>eggs</name><price>1.49</price></item><item><name>bread</name><price>0.99</price></item></shoppingList><br />
As you can see from the definition of the ShoppingList class, I have an attribute [XmlElement] defined before the Items property, with the "items" name. So in my XML every element is <item>. What can I do, so that when I serialize my ShoppingList object, each "item" element will have it's own name.
So, one element will be "Table1", next will be "Table2", and so on.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

First of because the Items property returns an array you should use the XmlArray attribute class:
<br />
[XmlArray("Items")]<br />
public Item[] Items<br />
{<br />
}<br />
To specify a name for each item use the XmlAttribute class like this:
<br />
public class Item<br />
{<br />
[XmlAttribute("name")]<br />
public string name;<br />
....<br />

Hello.
I am using the Windows Encrypted File System to encrypt a file. I want to transfer this file across a network to another computer in its encrypted state so i am trying to use the OpenEncryptedFileRaw Read, Write and Close api methods. (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365429(VS.85).aspx[^])
I've found an example that uses ReadEncryptedFileRaw to save a file in its encrypted state, which seems to work fine.(http://www.jensign.com/JavaScience/dotnet/rawefs/rawefs.cs[^])
However I am having trouble understanding the call back functions and the IntPtr's. I need to convert the raw efs file created from rawefs.cs back to the files original state using WriteEncrypedFileRaw, but all my attempts to write an import call back required by the WriteEncryptedFileRaw api have failed.
Has anyone used these api methods in C#, know of an example or just in general have any helpful advice as to how to go about writing such a call back?
Thanks.

Hi,
I am trying to create a log file with the following stmt(in C#):
private LogWriter DataLog = new LogWriter(new System.IO.StreamWriter( @"C:\"+DateTime.Now.ToLocalTime()+".txt", false ));
I get the exception - "The given path's format is not supported."
when i try to access the DLL (with this stmt) in another console applic.
Can anyone suggest me what the problem could be?
Thanks,
Priya.

A datetime string has characters which are illegal when used in file names. For example "/" is not allowed.
You could either try using DateTime.Now.Ticks which would give you a value which contains only numeric characters. Or you could try something like this:
<br />
DateTime time = DateTime.Now;<br />
String filename = time.Year.ToString("0000") + time.Month.ToString("00") + time.Day.ToString("00") + time.Hour("00") + time.Minute("00") + time.Second("00");<br />
<br />
private LogWriter DataLog = new LogWriter(new System.IO.StreamWriter( @"C:\"+filename+".txt", false ));<br />
A third option would be to use the String.Replace method to remove spaces ' ', colons ':' and forward slashes '/' from the datetime string.
