So you have a 2D grid of values, a struct to hold the values from one row, and an enumeration to map columns in one to fields in the other.
And you fill a Dictionary with the enumeration values.
1) Why is the key type of the Dictionary int rather than Fields?
2) Why is the value type of the Dictionary char rather than int?
3) Why do you protect yourself against missing values in the dictionary?
4) What's with the -64 ?
If the Dictionary is set up properly you should be able to do:
record.firstName = grid [ 1 , fields [ Fields.FIRSTNAME ] ].ToString() ;
The question is; how much control do you have over these details?
In fact, the grid would be more useful as object[][] rather than object[,].
The possibilities are endless.

1. Good point  .
2. Because it is importing data from an Excel spreadsheet, the char is the user defined column where the field is located
3. Above.
4. To convert the ASCII letter to its appropriate index in the object array

Your a bright man  . My code needs to be re-thought a bit here to clean it up.
Thanks for your help.

I would still handle 2, 3, and 4 when I create the Dictionary, rather than later.

No can do until you rephrase your question in a manner that is more understandable.

Makes sense now. Very tall order and cannot really be done in a forum post. In short, you'll need code that handles rendering the various formats.

No. I don't give out code, just suggestions on what to do.

If you can assume that the Adobe Reader is installed on the target machine, you could use a webbrowser-control to display the pdf, if I'm not mistaken.

It sounds like the OP wants to extract from PDF, and DOC files.

You can assume that a client machine have installed Acrobat Reader or similar software and use System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(string fileName) method to launch a PDF file.
If you don't want to make such assumptions (and you should not), you can attach to the installator a light-weight PDF viewer like a Foxit Reader[^] (the best PDF viewer I've ever seen). On this[^] page you can also get a Foxit SDK which allows you to render pdfs into bitmaps and then use them in your app. Hope it helps.

Bitmaps can be displayed in a Form with PictureBox control

You'll need to look at third party controls, perhaps.

My code :
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
winFormTimerLabel.Text = System.DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString();
}
This causes the label to display the current time when the form loads. However, the time does not change.
What should I do in order to make the label display the time like a digital clock (with time running)?
|

You'll need a thread.
I suggest using a System.Timers.Timer.
|
|
|
|

There are digital like text/label controls out there. I suggest you do a basic search on such thing.

Hi Lim,
If you create a timer that ticks every 1 second, and use the code below in the tick event method:
<br />
winFormTimerLabel.Text = System.DateTime.UtcNow.TimeOfDay.Hours.ToString() + " : " + System.DateTime.UtcNow.TimeOfDay.Minutes.ToString()<br />
+ " : " + System.DateTime.UtcNow.TimeOfDay.Seconds.ToString());<br />
I'd imagine it will do what you want.
Cheers,

System.DateTime.Now.ToString ( "HH:mm:ss" )
|
|
|
|
|
Show off  .

Ha ha! Ha ha! Mine's smaller! ... Oh, wait... 
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks for your efforts guys.
In the end this is what I did.
private Timer Clock = new Timer();//create a timer
void Clock_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//refresh the time every 1 second
this.winFormTimerLabel.Text = DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Clock.Interval = 1000;//every 1 second do something
//what the program is supposed to do when 1 second elasped
Clock.Tick += new EventHandler(Clock_Tick);
Clock.Start();//starts the timer
}
I finally understood where did I went wrong - I did not put in the interval value and I did not start the timer..... silly me
