Using the Win32 API is a perfectly valid way to overcome limitations in .NET. (Or at least a way to cut off your nose to spite your face)

In order to test for a null within a DataTable Column I use
DataRowView corrAddress = (DataRowView)debtorBinding.Current;
if (corrAddress["PostCode"] != DBNull.Value)
{
corrPostCodeTextBox.Text = corrAddress["PostCode"].ToString();
}
But
if (debtorDataSet.Debtor[0].HouseName != DBNull.Value)
{
corrHouseNameTextBox.Text = debtorDataSet.Debtor[0].HouseName.ToString();
}
does not work. How can i correct the second code snippet to work please?

if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(debtorDataSet.Debtor[0].HouseName))

Thanks, but my data is DBnull not null. How can test for this by altering
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(debtorDataSet.Debtor[0].HouseName))
please?

Hi to everyone...
Can anyone help me?
I have a small desktop application build in C#. It should create an XML file (already done this), and then enter the xml file in db, in the correct tables. For example,
xml file has this:
<name>John
<info>OtherData
now this file shoud be opened, and read all information, and entered in db, in the respective tables, for example name should be entered in tblCustomer, info should be entered in tblInfoCustomer...
All the Best..

Parse the XML file for the values that you are looking for then create an SQL statement that takes the values as its parameters and inserts them. Look up SqlCommand on msdn, there are plenty of examples.

Is the problem in extracting the information from the XML file? If that's the case, you could use XmlDocument[^] class, load the data into it and then extract the info you want. After that, using parameterized commands, insert/update the data into the database.

Hello,
Can We create dynamic enums at runtime instead of statically creating a class
a enum class like
public enum IceCream
{
[DescriptionAttribute("Choco Chip")]chocochip= 0,
[DescriptionAttribute("Butter Scotch")]buttersoctch= 1,
[DescriptionAttribute("Vannila")]vanilla= 2
}
something of this sort.
i ll appreciate any help on this
Thanks,
Mamtha

Have you tried it? Most of the rest of us that don't know would have to...

You can create code in memory at runtime and compile it into an in memory assembly. This can be done with the System.CodeDom and Microsoft.CSharp namespaces. You would then use reflection (System.Reflection) to interact with the assembly. I've seen articles that talk about scripting implementations that give examples of using the classes in the aforementioned namespaces. I've been able to dynamically compile text that is syntactically valid C# code into an in memory assembly and use reflection to execute the code and return a result. So, you should be able to use the same approach to create an Enum in an in memory assembly and then load an instance of the Enum from that assembly. There probably won't be code out there that does exactly what you are asking about, but there is stuff out there that will get you in the ballpark.

If you think you have to do this, you really need to rethink your design and use an appropriate collection instead.

well i did had a look at that earlier but really cudnt make it work.
yeah i think enums are always a tough list to be choose, but i couldnt use lists as effectively as enums did. may be i shud just try dig in deep into lists

I disagree with that statement. I have an utility application that talks to several different tools that all use the same protocol. Rather than having to write custom code for each new tool that may be created, I made a text file format that describes the commands for each tool. Since some of the command parameters are best represented as choices in a ComboBox, dynamic enum creation was the way to go.
To the OP, when making dynamic types you can put spaces and other special characters in the type names, property names, enum names that a standard compiler would not allow, which may prevent the need for the Description attributes on the enum values. Below is the snippet from the utility described above. The prefix was a string like Enum.CommandName.PropertyName and the ParamDef class contained enum type name and the list of enum name/value pairs in the Values property. _module is a ModuleBuilder created earlier to contain all the dynamically created code.
Private Shared flagsCon As ConstructorInfo = GetType(FlagsAttribute).GetConstructor(Type.EmptyTypes)
Private Function CreateEnum(ByVal prefix As String, ByVal param As ParamDef) As Type
Dim eb As EnumBuilder
eb = _module.DefineEnum(prefix & param.Name, TypeAttributes.Public, GetType(Byte))
For Each ev As EnumValue In param.Values
eb.DefineLiteral(ev.Name, ev.Value)
Next
If param.IsFlags Then
eb.SetCustomAttribute(New CustomAttributeBuilder(flagsCon, New Object() {}))
End If
'save the type
Return eb.CreateType
End Function

I agree it's a requirement when writing code generators, but I seriously doubt that's what he's doing.
Usually, you won't see this question in the forums because the person who really does need this technique is already knowledgable enough to write it up without asking any questions.

|
|
Yes, but why? What would you then do with it?
|
|
|
|

Dynamically use the enums, of course.

Smile when you say that. 
But in what way? I don't see what can be accomplished with an enum dynamically.
Usually when I have an enum, I refer to it in a switch or as a parameter to a method; how can that be done dynamically?
Otherwise a Dictionary or HashSet may be a more appropriate solution.

To be fair I was intentionally trying to reel you in with that which is why I originally left off the smiley.

Hello,
i have a pictureBox. When i moving the mouse in the pictureBox, i want to draw a rectangle on the bitmap (that is on the pictureBox). I using the DrawRectangle-method for this. But i like, that there appears only one rectangle on the pictureBox. It should appear on the coordinates, where i moving the mouse at the moment. On this moment all rectangles are paintet on the pictureBox, at the coordinates where i have moved the mouse.
Thank you very much!

It sounds like you're getting multiple mouse moves and therefore multiple rectangles. You'll need to determine when the mouse has stopped moving (maybe a timer that is reset on each mouse move) and draw the rectangle then.
