I want to copy Firstdgv rows to Finaldgv rows.So how can I refer to the second,third and... rows in Finaldgv in order to copy the second ,third and .... Firstdgv rows .
I think your assumption is right.but what should I do?

If you are trying to copy the values from one grid into another (and I'm assuming the second one is empty), then you Add the rows into the other grid.

Seriously, you could solve this part with a simple Google search. You really need to learn how to do that part. I'll give you a couple of hints here:

Your data is in a File. You want to Read All Lines from that file.
Once the data is in lines of strings, you want to Split each string into it's constituent parts.

It's that simple.

csv stands for comma separated values. The lines below your comment do not show any comma between the values, rather spaces. If all of your values are simple numbers and separated by spaces, just read the file line by line and get the contents with string[] contents = line.Split(' ');, then parse each item of contents into an int (int.Parse(...) or int.TryParse(...)).

working out a triangle hypotenuse

Member 1026649410-Sep-13 23:56

I am looking for my C# class to firstly work out distance between two coordinate points on the x plane and then work out the distance between the same coordinated points on the y plane.

There are potentially several ways of doing this. I was thinking:

Firstly calculate distance on the x plane (x1->x2):

in Excel form:

if (x2 > x1, x2 - x1, x1 - x2)
        (then)   (else)

Then calculate the distance for the y plane (y1->y2):

if (x2 > x1, x2 - x1, x1 - x2)

if we then think of a triangle (with right angle) we have

A(squared) + B(squared) = C(squared)

We would have the length A and B and therefore would be able to calculate C.

Is there an easy way of doing this in C# or is it best to code out the equations?

Any advise appreciated.

Feels like you need to find out the distance between 2 points on a 2D plane.

Point A (x1,y1)
Point B (x2,y2)

Distance between them would be=[((x1-x2)^2)+((y1-y2)^2)]^(1/2)
Use Math.Abs method to get the absolute value of the distance regardless of x1>x2 or x1

Member 1026649411-Sep-13 0:22

11-Sep-13 0:22

This looks like a good approach. I am really new to C# (after 10 years away), do you have a coded example?

Anurag Sinha V11-Sep-13 0:39

Its basic maths buddy.. Smile | :)

Let me try to write a simple app for you.

Distance between points (5,5) and the origin (0,0) should be:

public CalculateDistance()
{
double D;
int x1=5;
int x2=0;
int y1=5;
int y2=0;

D=Math.Abs(((x1-x2)^2)+((y1-y2)^2))^(1/2);
Console.WriteLine(D);
Console.ReadKey();
}

The above should do good.

Your question states that what you want is the size of the distance between two x co-ordinates, and the size of the distance between two y co-ordinates, but your code suggests that what you really want is the length of a line between the two points: which is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.

Assuming it's obvious to you how to get the distances on x, and y, and since you already know how to calculate a hypotenuse, then the answer to your question is: no, C# does not contain a built-in function to calculate a hypotenuse. Yes, you have to code it.

And, the real answer to your question is that you need to focus on mastery of the basic mathematics operators in C#, and you need to examine the functions available in the Math library, and get familiar with what it offers, and what it does not offer.

A small effort on your part now to learn the basic mathematics operators, and commonly used functions in the Math library, will enable you to express any equation.

It's a good idea to think carefully about what you are asking, before you post a question.

I am new to C#. I am not sure whether I am approaching my classes in the right way. I want my main class to act as a stem that activates other classes that performs various tasks like retrieving information or writing to file or performing calculation. I am not sure how to interrelate the classes. I know that some classes have to be public etc.

I was thinking that this stem class would take on the form:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Stem
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // retrieve file name from Main

            // activate 'Building' class (to generate array of coordinates)

            // retrieve array  containing coordinates
            
            //Like:
            //Id	X	Y
            //0	19	75
            //1	76	42
            //2	72	72



            // run through all IDed x,y coordinate combinations and fire off class that performs calculation, one coordinate combination at a time.  Results retrieved and held in array.

            // calls print class at end where output file is produced

        }
    }
}

Firstly I want to know if I am approaching the problem in the right way.

Secondly I would like bits of code that would help me build this stem (if poss).

I would appreciate any help given.

Hmmm, I think you need to step back here as it sounds like you're trying to run before you understand the basics of building C# applications. Before you try building your own application, I'd recommend downloading and reading .NET Book Zero[^] by Charles Petzold. It's free, and the samples should help to teach you what you need to know.

I can see that I need to modify my approach. What approach to this would you take? Would you suggest that all the tasks that are on the list act as super-classes of the class that takes the main argument?

You're asking for a design when the problem isn't clear. That's why I suggest you start by reading the book.

I'm really short of time on this task.

The task is to take a csv file.
Process a list of x,y specified coordinate points.
Work out the distance between all these coordinate points.
Print results to file

Pete O'Hanlon11-Sep-13 2:51

11-Sep-13 2:51

Then, realistically speaking, you're stuffed. Without a basic understanding of the language, you aren't going to be able to write something that fulfils the criteria you laid out. Theoretically, you could do all of this procedurally in the Main method, but as that violates what I'm assuming the test is about, you would fail. At a high level, I would expect that they are looking at using an architecture similar to this:

A class that encapsulates a point (perhaps you could call it Point).
A class that, given a CSV file, would read it in and return a list of these points

Where it gets more subjective is, do you put the calculation of the distance into the point class, or is it in the class that contains the points? I'll leave you to decide that one.

What I wouldn't be worrying about here is superclass x or subclass y. That's irrelevant for a task like this.

This is similar to a programming test Sage used to do, just more maths than word based.

listViewNV_KeyPress function it does not run ?

11-Sep-13 1:34

How about this for a plan?

nested classes

class Z

// performs calculation

class Y

// retrieves result from calculation and prints to file


class X

// runs through coordinate possibilities
// calls calculation one at a time

class V

// calls input file and processes to produce array

class U

// takes input file from command line
// requests calculation

Re: how can I access to a DGV column contents?

10-Sep-13 20:59

Hi friends :
I want to know that how can I access to a column contents?
because "Gridcol" just returns columns header and in "Finaldgv" just columns header will be added. Actually I need each columns header text with its contents. Frown | :(

here ,I indicated the main line which copy "Gridcol" into "Finaldgv" by "****"
this is my code :

 private static DataGridView Firstdgv;    
        private static DataGridView Finaldgv = new DataGridView();     
        private static List<string> SelectedColumns = new List<string>();  
        private static List<string> AvailableColumns = new List<string>();  
 
 
   public  void Print_DataGridView(DataGridView dgv1)
        {
            PrintPreviewDialog ppvw;
            try
            {
                // Getting DataGridView object to print
                Firstdgv = dgv1;
                 
 
                // Getting all Coulmns Names in the DataGridView
                AvailableColumns.Clear();
                foreach (DataGridViewColumn c in Firstdgv.Columns)
                {
                    if (!c.Visible) continue;
                    AvailableColumns.Add(c.HeaderText);
                }
 
                // Showing the PrintOption Form
                FrmPrintOptions dlg = new FrmPrintOptions(AvailableColumns);
                if (dlg.ShowDialog() != DialogResult.OK) return;
 
                PrintTitle = dlg.PrintTitle;
                PrintAllRows = dlg.PrintAllRows;
                FitToPageWidth = dlg.FitToPageWidth;
                SelectedColumns = dlg.GetSelectedColumns();
 
               // RowsPerPage = 0;
 
                ppvw = new PrintPreviewDialog();
 
                //ppvw.Document = printDoc;
                Finaldgv.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
                foreach (DataGridViewColumn GridCol in Firstdgv.Columns)
                {
                    if (!GridCol.Visible) continue;
                    if (!SelectedColumns.Contains(GridCol.HeaderText)) continue;
                   Finaldgv.Columns.Add((DataGridViewColumn)GridCol.Clone()); ****
                     
                 }   
 
                DGVPrinter obj = new DGVPrinter();
                obj.PrintPreviewDataGridView(Finaldgv);

If you are looking for the values within the DataGridView fro a particular column, you don't access them via the Column directly: they are all organised by Row, then by column within the row.

So if you want the column header and all the values it contains, you can pick up the header from the Column as you are doing, but you then need to loop through the Rows property to collect the values from the DataGridViewRow.Cells collection - each entry in which contains the appropriate Column value.
