Well, otherwise, your English is quite excellent. It is good enough that I couldn't tell it was not your first!

Thank you!! I use to check the spelling when I'm writing in english because I hate to feel that I'm writing bad whatever the language it is... Don't know how I missed that one... I already edited it so it's fixed.

Any recommendations on the report I'm asking about? I'm completely lost...

Thank you again.

When you connect your database to create a report add the tables and link the added tables on the id's. Then you should be able to drag/drop fields of those tables onto the report.

I wouldn't recommend using VS2008 for creating reports though (although this one is not really complex), if you have a Crystal Reports application, that would be much better.

Do you have a full understanding of the sections in the report, because of not you should try to understand that first.

Best of luck.

How to add images to a reportviewer ???

I suspect your data structure is screwed, this is what indicates the problem. If there is a new test type Test11 will you need to add another column?

HematologyId
ExamId
Test1
Test2... etc.

I would suggest you stop now and get an experienced data designer to create your database for you. It sound like you know your business (clinical laboratory), so get a professional to design your data structures (make sure he/she explains the reasons for the database design so you can learn from it). This will make it possible to create your application without continually running into data issues

As for the report you need to design a query in the database with all the required data, then design the report to present the data and finally put them together in you app by instantiating the report and passing the dataset with your query results in it.

populating a treeview?

User 251249410-Jun-10 6:05

User 2512494

10-Jun-10 6:05

I'm trying to build a treeview of 4 layers, using 4 tables in the database.

Layer 1: Departments
Layer 2: Groups
Layer 3: Products
Layer 4: Barcodes

No I've had a go at getting the 4 tables in as a dataset, and tried to populate the treeview, but only the first 2 layers will show up in my tree view.

If I make layer 2 my first layer, only layer 2 and 3 will show up.

<br />
private void Load_tree()<br />
      {<br />
         DataSet ds = new DataSet();<br />
         SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["CCS_HOConnectionString"].ConnectionString);<br />
         SqlDataAdapter daDepts = new SqlDataAdapter("barcodePrinter_get_Departments", conn);<br />
         SqlDataAdapter daGroups = new SqlDataAdapter("barcodePrinter_get_Groups", conn);<br />
         SqlDataAdapter daProducts = new SqlDataAdapter("barcodePrinter_get_Products", conn);<br />
         SqlDataAdapter daBarcode = new SqlDataAdapter("barcodePrinter_get_Barcode", conn);<br />
<br />
<br />
         daDepts.Fill(ds, "DEPTS");<br />
         daGroups.Fill(ds, "PRODGRP");<br />
         daProducts.Fill(ds, "PRODUCT");<br />
         daBarcode.Fill(ds, "product_barcode");<br />
<br />
<br />
         ds.Relations.Add("Depts_Group", ds.Tables["DEPTS"].Columns["DEPTCODE"], ds.Tables["PRODGRP"].Columns["PGRPDEPT"]);<br />
         ds.Relations.Add("Group_Product", ds.Tables["PRODGRP"].Columns["PGRPID"], ds.Tables["PRODUCT"].Columns["PRODGRP"]);<br />
         ds.Relations.Add("ProdBarcode", ds.Tables["PRODUCT"].Columns["PRODCODE"], ds.Tables["product_barcode"].Columns["prodcode"]);<br />
<br />
         dataGridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables["DEPTS"];<br />
         dataGridView2.DataSource = ds.Tables["PRODGRP"];<br />
         dataGridView3.DataSource = ds.Tables["PRODUCT"];<br />
         dataGridView4.DataSource = ds.Tables["product_barcode"];<br />
<br />
         foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables["DEPTS"].Rows)<br />
         {<br />
            TreeNode tn = new TreeNode(dr["DEPTSHORT"].ToString());<br />
            foreach (DataRow drGroup in dr.GetChildRows("Depts_Group"))<br />
            {<br />
               TreeNode tnn = new TreeNode(drGroup["PGRPSHORT"].ToString());<br />
               foreach (DataRow drProduct in dr.GetChildRows("Group_Product"))<br />
               {<br />
                  TreeNode tnnn = new TreeNode(drProduct["PRODSHORT"].ToString());<br />
                  foreach (DataRow drBarcode in dr.GetChildRows("Product_Barcode"))<br />
                  {<br />
                     tnnn.Nodes.Add(drBarcode["barcode"].ToString());<br />
                  }<br />
                  tnn.Nodes.Add(tnnn);<br />
               }<br />
               tn.Nodes.Add(tnn);<br />
            }<br />
            trvBarcodes.Nodes.Add(tn);<br />
         }<br />
         trvBarcodes.ExpandAll();<br />
       }<br />

I'm looking for a solution that will make all 4 layers show in the treeview.
Like
+Department 1
-+Group 1
--+Product 1
----Barcode 1
----Barcode 2
-+Group 2
--+Product 2
----Barcode 3
--+Product 3
----Barcode 4

I never know how many layers there will be within the child node, this is decided by the list in the database and that one can change.

Do a search in the articles for treeview, there are a number of strategies for this, I have done one suing the heirarchyid, there are a number using relationships in datasets and some using a single table with a calculated relationship field.

This is too big a question to be answered by a forum post!

List<T> Comparison [SOLVED]

Paladin200010-Jun-10 4:58

10-Jun-10 4:58

I have two methods used to compate Lists, and I would like to combine them if possible. The purpose is to ensure that all elements in two lists match.

private bool matchList_DateTime(List<DateTime> List1, List<DateTime> List2)
{
    if (List1.Count != List2.Count) return false;
    foreach (DateTime L1 in List1) if (!List2.Contains(L1)) return false;
    return true;
}

private bool matchList_String(List<string> List1, List<string> List2)
{
    if (List1.Count != List2.Count) return false;
    foreach (string L1 in List1) if (!List2.Contains(L1)) return false;
    return true;
}

An ideal candidate for generics

bool CompareLists<T>(List<T> listA, List<T> listB)
{
    if (listA.Count != listB.Count) 
        return false;
    foreach (T item in listA)
        if (!listB.Contains(item))
            return false;
    return true;
}

Edit: I haven't optimised your code at all - just converted it to accept generics. You should probably null check both parameters - if both are null it's up to you how you want it to return. As this is nothing really to do with an actual class it may be useful to make it static and possibly an extension method if using 3.0 or above.

That works, thank you. I was trying to find a way to pass them as IEquatables, which wasn't working out.

Why that?Perhaps using generic type constraints will help. Smile | :)

As a general List comparator, your method is flawed in one or two ways:
1. the order of items is disregarded (you may want to describe what "matching lists" is meant to mean);
2. when List1 holds duplicates, your method may return true even when List2 is not at all equivalent (even holding items that are not present in List1, or different quantities of List1 items).

Paladin200010-Jun-10 5:39

Good points. In this case, both lists contain distinct values (no duplicates).

The order is insignificant, the point of the method is to determine if all items in List A exist in List B, and no others.

Does it matter if the contents of those items are also identical?

I realized that I could simply return the comparison, as it is bool.

/// <summary>
/// Compares two lists to ensure that they match without duplication.
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="T">Generic Type; string, DateTime, int etc.</typeparam>

/// </returns>
private static bool matchList<T>(List<T> List1, List<T> List2)
{
    if (List1 == null || List2 == null)  return false;
    return ((List1.Count == List2.Count) && (List1.Count == List1.Intersect(List2).Count()));
}
