Richard is right, but ... it may depend on how the Android device is configured
.
There are two ways Android can connect to a PC - MTP for media transfer (pictures and videos), or UMS (for files): Android USB Connections Explained: MTP, PTP, and USB Mass Storage[^]
If the device is selected to "Charge only" or MTP, you won't see the device as a file source.

I got it now. I went into Settings => USB Preferences and selected "File Transfer". Now I can see the tablet and all the folders under it.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Error when parsing string as int

Hi all,

I am receiving errors when executing below code.
The code asks me how many items the array has, and then let me fill the array with input.
The problem is whenever I input letters instead of numers I get an exception.
System.FormatException: 'Input string was not in a correct format.

The error happens at the following lines

int size = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

array[i] = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

Now I know that I might be using the int.TryParse method, by I do not know how to implement it.
Of perhaps when the input is not valid, give an error like

Console.Write("Wrong input, only numbers");

My code:

//Ask how many array items need to be present
Console.Write("How many items in the array ");
int size = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
int[] array = new int[size];

//Enter array items
Console.WriteLine("Enter {0} array items", size);
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
    array[i] = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
}

// Print array items
Console.Write("\nThe following items are in the array: ");
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
    Console.Write("{0} ", array[i]);
}
Console.ReadLine();

Yeah, you cannot convert strings with letters to an integer since there is no logical conversion.

The documentation on Integer.TryParse can be found here[^] complete with examples and you can even run the example code in the browser and play around with it.

While we are more than willing to help those that are stuck, that doesn't mean that we are here to do it all for you! We can't do all the work, you are either getting paid for this, or it's part of your grades and it wouldn't be at all fair for us to do it all for you.

So we need you to do the work, and we will help you when you get stuck. That doesn't mean we will give you a step by step solution you can hand in!
Start by explaining where you are at the moment, and what the next step in the process is. Then tell us what you have tried to get that next step working, and what happened when you did.

Re: Find the smallest integer that is not in a random array

So how to generate 5 random numbers that fall into the range between 0 and 10000 and assign them to an array? Thanks.

OriginalGriff26-Mar-22 8:46

Re: Find the smallest integer that is not in a random array

26-Mar-22 8:46

Think about it: how do you generate one random number? Hint: see the Random class ...

Get that working, and you can then generate as many as you need.

Get that working, and you can store them in an array.

Get that working, and you can start on the rest of the task.

As the link I originally gave you explains: take a "difficult task" and break it into smaller ones. The smaller ones are "doable" on their own, and doing all of those means you do the "impossible" task as well!
Read the article, and see how far you can get.

Re: Find the smallest integer that is not in a random array

26-Mar-22 9:51

I made the initial code as below:

using System;
 
public class Program
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        int N = 10;
        int[] array = new int[N];
        Random rnd = new Random();
        for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
        {
            array[i] = rnd.Next(10000);
        }
        for (int j = 0; j < N; j++)
        {
            Console.Write(array[j])
        }
    }
}

But it fails to display any code. Can you please help? Thanks.

Chances are it does, but it closes down too fast and you can't see it ...
Run it in the debugger, and put a breakpoint on the close curly bracket at the end of the Main method. When you run it, it will stop at the breakpoint and you can see what has happened (or run it again and step through to see what it does while it is running!)

My insert code is not working fine, bcz if i click radionbutton2 and checkbox 2 means it was inserting data automatically radionbutton1 and checkbox1 only, actually if which textbox is selected that data should enter null value radionbutton data should not saved in db

The question is meaningless, you still haven't learned how to use a debugger, and you are still trying to get others to fix problems instead of thinking about what is actually going on.

what have you tried to work out what the problem might be, given that we can't understand your "explanation" of the problem, run your code, see your inputs, or access your DB?

And you are still posting a success message even if it fails.

I'm sorry but i don't understand your question. One thought I have - are you trying to do an 'exclusive or'? In other words, are you trying to see if button 1 is selected, or button 2 is selected, but not both at the same time?

As others have pointed out a few different times in response to your questions - you cannot assume a SQL command is successful just because control moves to the next statement. You need to check to see if you were able to perform the SQL statement. You may lose your connection, you may not be authorized to the database, the update may have failed to run. There are ways to see if the SQL statement worked before you proceed to posting a 'success' message.
