I think that the standard states that NaN may be treated as not being equal to NaN - which seems fair as operations resulting in NaN are NOT returning an an actual numerical value. .NET does however treat them as equal when using Equals() but not when using ==.
I can't see how x.Equals(x) can evaluate to false for real numbers (whatever the implementation) when the 2 operands are references to the same object.
Do you think that MSDN is really just saying not to rely on it - even when referencing the same object? (If so it would be useful if they stated thay some other comparison should be used with reference to Epsilon.)

As I said, MSDN requires an inherited Equals to return true for x.Equals(x) unless x is of type float/double, in which case there is no such requirement at all.
Your point on one NaN not being equal to another NaN is absolutely valid; anyway, x.Equals(y) is not supposed to first check if x and y refer to the same object. So if they both refer to the same float variable and that happens to be NaN, then is really should return wouldn't be wrong to return false!
AFAIK the same argument applies to plus and minus infinity, one infinity does not equal another.

Hey everyone,
Any idea why one of my fields in a crystal report totally disappear from the report during runtime?? Everything related to that field, the header lable, the data field, and even the summary field!! All the other fields are just fine and were created just like this one by dragging them from the database field tree.
Many thanks!

Hey,
Just found the answer and it was stupid.. I accidentally misspelled the field name when filling the dataset that it was never filled with the other fields, now it's fine!
Thanks for reading.

Hi,
Is there a way to determine that a custom Visual Studio component has been deleted from a form at design time?
I am currently working on such a component.

The only two things that occur to me are:
1) It might (that's a very big might) be possible to override the OnControlRemoved method of your Form, test for DesignMode and then check if the ControlEventArgs.Control is your control. I'm not even sure that the method gets called at Design time, you'd have to check that for yourself. You would also conceivably have to do this for every container control on the Form.
2) Another possibility is to override the Dispose method of your control, or write a Destructor, and handle things there. Again, you'd have to test for DesignMode.
These two options may be either impossible or unfeasable. I'm pretty sure that others will tell me if I have it totally wrong, but that is where I would start investigating if it were my project.

Thank you for the reply.
I need a design time solution, independent of the container form.
Trying the second solution didn't work. The Dispose is called also when the form is closed during the design time.

Good Morning Fellow Coders;
I have a treeView that I have developed over the years. It has all the things that I need it to do in most of my apps including the ability for the user to persist it to a file on the hard drive.
The problem is that I use it in many apps that I write but, as I adapt it to different apps it can only open files for a the app it was compiled in.
My questions is this.
How do I re-use it and keep the ability to open any of these files from any app I use it in?
Do I create a stand-alone project for just the tree then change the namespace or do I have to make a control out of it?
Any thoughts will be appreciated...

You redesign it with extensibility points.
In your example, saving and retrieving the tree state from a file and you having different file formats for various applications, you would add the ability of being able to query in all ways necessary the state and structure of the tree. Another class is responsible for persisting this to where ever you need it (file, database, whereever). If you have multiple ways of storing it you have multiple classes responsible for persisting the information. Single responsiblity principle.

Let me see if I can clarify.
Right now I use it in a couple of apps. If I try to open one of the files made from myApp in myApp2 I get an exception...
"Unable to find assembly 'myApp, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'."}
All I have done was to copy my tree.cs file from myApp to myApp2 and changed the namespace so it will work in myApp2.
So...is this because the namespace's are different? If so can I just reference the myApp namespace in myApp2 and use the tree components from myApp?

Hi,
as long as you included a reference to your DLL, you can refer to its public types, either using the full name (mySpace.mySubspace...MyClass) or using a using statement (using mySpace.mySubspace; ) and a short name (MyClass instance=new MyClass()).
There is no need to modify namespace names, they exist to help you keep things apart (avoid name clashes), not to make your job more difficult.
PS: the types need to be public, VS often creates classes without attributes, just prefix "public".

Hi All,
I have a composite(custom) control in which I have a button control (call it button1). In the control I have coded for the button click event. i.e. inside the method:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
This control will be used by some other application developer.
The requirement demands the functionality that I have impelemented though my code in the button click event handler be overwritten by the developer who will be using my control in his application iff he wishes so or else the functionalty would persist.
The problem that I am facing is how to access the button click event handler in the cutom control from the application that is hosting the control. Making the event handling method public would be a bad work around. I believe I am missing on a concept.
Any guidance will be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Sid

Hi,
you could offer a public event, and have your button handler check for it being null or not.

Hi Luc,
Thanks for the reply.
But could you elaborate it a bit more. I mean a few lines of code will be fine.

Hi,
something along these lines, where another class may or may not add delegates to ButtonClicker:
public event EventHandler ButtonClicker;
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
if (ButtonClicker==null) {
} else {
ButtonClicker(sender, e);
}
}

Hey thanks for the reply.
I will try this. Seems I need to get my concepts on events and delegates proper.

hello
Trying to write simpler code... how can I reduce the number of the else-if blocks below?
<br />
if (o is DictionaryEntry)<br />
{<br />
DictionaryEntry oEntry = (DictionaryEntry)o;<br />
object oKey = oEntry.Key;<br />
object oValue = oEntry.Value;<br />
<br />
lstAnotherCollection.Add(oKey, oValue);<br />
... more ...<br />
}<br />
else if (o is KeyValuePair<string, System.Drawing.Bitmap>)<br />
{<br />
<br />
KeyValuePair<string, System.Drawing.Bitmap> oEntry = (KeyValuePair<string, System.Drawing.Bitmap>)o;<br />
string oKey = oEntry.Key;<br />
System.Drawing.Bitmap oValue = oEntry.Value;<br />
<br />
lstAnotherCollection.Add(oKey, oValue);<br />
... more ...<br />
}<br />
... many more else-if blocks ...<br />
I suppose I cannot cast KeyValuePair<X,Y> into KeyValuePair<Object, Object> ... because it defeats purpose of Generics in the first place?
Thanks
dev

I'd say you potenially have bigger problems that sorting out a bunch of if/else blocks.
How come you get to this code? Why can o end up being so many different things? There isn't event a common base class to tie it all together.
Excessive casting is a known "code smell" that indicates you are using the wrong types or the types are incorrectly defined.

it came from code generator code which uses reflection to examine object properties and wrap interceptors... etc. Kind of ugly.

H! All
I have a problem regarding window service. When I tried to start the service from the Services, it gives me an error, "Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"..
The code uses System.Threading not System.Timer..i tried to put an additional code to produce a log file so that i can see what is happening while starting in the services.., it executed the routine..from OnStart it calls a function and inside the function..it loops continuously..then i think it was five loops when the error showed up..it didnt pass to the OnStop method..
Another thing I am confused is that i can run or double click the EXE in the debug folder manually and it is running successfully. It seems that I am running an ordinary EXE not a windows service EXE..
BTW, this was built in C#.NET..
Anyone who knows this problem..Please help this is urgent..
Thanks in advance..Regards
