Open the project, attach the debugger to the process that consumes your dll and set breakpoints.

I want to get,
how many rows and columns are hidden in an excel sheet
Is there any direct function as i have to check each row and column, and check whether it is hidden or not.

I am new to C#, and have come across a situation where I need to perform different tasks based on the criteria value (string).
Thought of using 'switch' statement, I know (from C++), if you order the 'case' statements according to most frequenly occuring 'cases' at the top, it will optimise the 'switch' statement (don't know for sure, but I practiced it), but in C#, order of the 'cases' doesn’t matter.
In my situation, I would end up with around 50 'cases', so I would like to know if there are any other alternatives (to improve efficiency) apart from 'switch' statement?
Any thought/help would be greatly appreciated.

What on earth makes you think that ?
Yes, put your most common cases near the top, as they will get checked first, the MSIL for a switch is no different to a bunch of if/then/else statements. switch is just more human readable.

That statement is talking about the syntax of the switch construct, not the performance.
The performance is a whole different matter:
The order of the case labels matters if you only have five of less of them. Then you should place the most commonly used ones first.
If you have more than five case labels the switch uses a hash table, so then the order of the case labels doesn't matter at all.
(I determined this by performance testing a switch in C# 3 (VS2008) targetting framework 3.5. The implementation may of course differ in older versions of the compiler or framework, but I doubt that this was ever any different.)

Wow - I did not know that. I doubt very much that has always been the case, the C# 1.0 book I read delved into MSIL a lot and never mentioned it. I worked out this week that the TryParse methods arrived in 2.0, I suspect that sort of stuff did not come before 2.0 at least.

Yeah I just tested it. The claim is BS. It creates the same construct regardless of the number of cases. It will reorganize cases to make the lookup more efficient, but there is NO hashtable!

Not at all.
Here is the generated code for a switch containing five case labels and one containing six case labels. Do you see the fundamental difference?

Eish, we are really splitting micro-bits here! 
What are you case labels for either case?
IMO, this JIT is way too low level to care about. Maybe doing the native layout, etc for more than 5 cases are a bit expensive.
I was looking at MSIL level though, so I didnt really know (and still dont care) about what happens under those covers (but good to know none the less) 
Thanks

Yes, but it can at least be good to know that if you have a lot of case labels, you don't have to try to order them for performance.
leppie wrote: What are you case labels for either case?
Just labels with strings and no code, so that it tests the performance of the switch only:
switch (selection) {
case "00":
case "01":
case "02":
case "03":
case "04":
case "05":
default: break;
}
(I tested it with code in the cases also, so that I know that it behaves in the same manner.)
My results for a 10000000 loop for each case label, with switches having five and six case labels:
00 : 105 ms.
01 : 205 ms.
02 : 303 ms.
03 : 421 ms.
04 : 500 ms.
00 : 602 ms.
01 : 605 ms.
02 : 589 ms.
03 : 622 ms.
04 : 615 ms.
05 : 577 ms.
There is definitely a measurable performance difference for the first labels in the shorter switch, but even 60 ns. isn't much to whine about.

so we are talking 50 nanoseconds here per iteration.

The MSIL for a switch is jumptable, not if/else branching. For integral types, the target offset is simply computed (not sure what happens internally), in your typical state machine fashion. For strings the behaviour could be different.

If you have five or less case labels, the code generated uses if/else logic. You can easily determine this by testing the performance, and see the difference between selecting different values.

Or you could try a Dictionary of delegates. It may at least help with maintenance issues.

Hi,
i have a Java application that stores a timestamp object as a bigint in a MySql database.
Now, my C# application has to convert it to a DateTime object. How do i do this. I tried using the Datetime.FromFileTime(timestamp); but the output it gives is not correct. Here is the sample.
long tm = 1217404627332;
DateTime dt = DateTime.FromFileTime(tm);
Response.Write("Time: " + dt.ToLongDateString());
The output it gives is Tuesday, January 02, 1601 when it should be Wednesday, July 31, 2008
How do i do this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

One approach would be to search for how the number translates to a date in Java, and write code to do a conversion.

The Windows FILETIME datatype, and hence .NET's DateTime, counts in 100ns intervals: there are 10 million of them in a single second. The base date is 1 January 1601. Your number, big though it is, only means 121,740 seconds or a little less than 34 hours.
You need to find out how large a time interval one tick represents in your source data, and you need to find out what the base date is, so that you can manipulate it correctly for .NET.

Java time represents milliseconds since January 1, 1970, so if you account for that date instead of the January 1601 date, you should be OK.
long tm = 1217404627332;
DateTime dt = new DateTime(1970,1,1,0,0,0);
dt = dt.AddMilliseconds(tm);
MessageBox.Show("Time: " + dt.ToLongDateString());
HTH - although I get Wednesday July 30,2008....closer!

There are three problems i am facing
1. If i specify (1,1) then i should get A1, how can i achieve that.
2. How can i get reference of a particular cell,without using Range class , i want to get cell's forecolor and backcolor directly.

i have created a winform.but i can't connect it with my database.there are no error has shown but there have 3 warning about path.but i can't find the right path.How can I solve this problem?

Well, hard to say without knowing what sort of DB it is, and what your warnings are, and what your connection string is.
