the data file contains a sequence of records
each record consists of several data fields stored sequentially in the order given

DATA FIELD DATA TYPE
Code String
Title String
Semester Integer
Credits Integer
Level Character
Short Description String

List<T> syntax in C#?

Lilli Alexis6-Oct-05 7:20

I have a List of objects of type Extension. I want to search through the list looking for an Extension e where e.name = ""
How do I do this in the .NET framework? I am confused on the proper syntax.
Thanks,
Lilli

Okay, so you've got a list that looks like this:

List<Extension> myExtensions = new List<Extension>();

Then you'd just iterate over it and find the one where e.name == "".

foreach(Extension e in myExtensions)
{
   if(e.Name == "")
   {
      // Whatever you want to do here
   }
}

Picture a huge catholic cathedral. In it there's many people, including a gregorian monk choir. You know, those who sing beautifully. Then they start singing, in latin, as they always do: "Ad hominem..."

Hi, if you like to experiment with some cool new features in C# 2.0 i'd propose the following:

class Extension
{
public string Name;
}

class ExtensionConsumer
{
List<Extension> extensionList = new List<Extension>();
Predicate<Extension> NameIsEmpty = delegate(Extension extension)
{
return extension.Name.Trim() == "";
};

public List<Extension> CheckExtensions()
{
return new List<Extension>(Array.FindAll<Extension>(extensionList.ToArray(), NameIsEmpty));
}
}

Currency Symbol

How can I get the currency symbol from just the ISO 4217 standard 3-letter code.

CAD = $<br />
USD = $<br />
GBP = £<br />
YEN = ¥

I tried creating a RegionInfo by stripping out the first two characters of the 3-letter code but is doesn't work for all cases.

Any ideas?

Stripping the first two chars of the code doesn't work because YEN => YE, but the country is JAPAN, code JP, BTW the ISO 4217 code for YEN is JPY, no YEN.

You can use a HashTable, and fill it at start of your application, this way:

HashTable ht = new HashTable();
foreach (CultureInfo ci in CultureInfo.GetCultures( CultureTypes.AllCultures ) )
{
RegionInfo ri = new RegionInfo(ci.LCID);
ht[ri.ISOCurrencySymbol] = ri.CurrencySymbol;
}

Later you access the symbol this way:

string sym = (string) ht[isocode];

simple user control / panel question

OK, I'm just trying to learn how to use panels. I have a panel "pnlWorkArea" and I have a user control "uctrlNewCostTracker".

I just want to write a button action that will make the user control show up in the panel (the button and the panel are both on frmMain).

This should be easy, right?

The ends can never justify the means. It is the means that determine the ends.

I do this frequently.

UcInfo = new ucInfo(this);         // Instantiate the UC
UcInfo.Parent = pnl01;             // Assign the panel as the UC parent
UcInfo.ShowLookup = false;         // I have preprossing in the UC that I want executed
pnl01.Height = UcInfo.Height + 8;  // In this case, I'm adjusting the size of the parent panel to the hieght of the UC
UcInfo.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;      // Now dock the UC into the panel
pnl01.Dock = DockStyle.Top;        // Position the panel on the form
... // There can be other preprocessing you might need done on the UC.
pnl01.Visible = true;              // Now show the panel

Exporting data from CVS and entering into MSSQL table

Hi
I have been asked to export data from a cvs file and enter it into MSSQL database table. This export needs to be performed using a webpage. So a person would visit the web page and select a cvs files from his local drive, press a button and export will start.

Now I have no idea how CVS works and how I can take some fields from a CVS file and put them into MSSQL table.

Can anyone guide me how I can achieve this
kind regrads

Do you mean CVS (Concurrent Versions System), or CSV (comma separated value)? I assume the later.

There is no official standard at all regarding the format of a csv file.

Here's briefly what I have found out:

Usually it's not comma separated at all, but semicolon separated. Each data line ends with a line break, but you can't read the data line by line, as the data may also contain line breaks. The first line may or may not be column headers, and there is nothing in the file that clearly tells if it does. If data contains semicolons, quotes or line breaks, it's surrounded by quotes. Quotes inside data is written as double quotes.

You will probably want to ask for an example file to examine.

If you have MS Excel, put text in some cells, containing quotes, semicolons and line breaks. Export it as a csv file, and you have a test file with all the tricky parts of the format. You might also notice that the format that Excel exports doesn't always contain the same number of columns on all the lines.

Reflection onto Assemblies with dependencies

MrEyes6-Oct-05 5:56

I have an assembly that is in the GAC which is using Reflection code to call a second assembly located elsewhere.

This second assembly has various dependencies, and for various reasons I dont want to GAC it or any of its dependencies.

The problem I am having is that while I can load the second assembly fine (by providing the full path to the Assembly.LoadFile(...) function, when I Invoke one of its functions I get a exception indicating that one of the dependencies cannot be found.

Is there anyway I can solves this problem without adding the second assemblies and its dependencies to the GAC??

I think the key here is the intellisense comment on the Assembly.LoadFile(...) function :

"..loading the assembly into the domain of the caller..."

Considering that the reflection code is called from an assembly in the GAC, does this mean that a virtual copy of the loaded assembly is placed into the GAC directories behind the calling assembly

Reading the documentation is always wonderful. Smile | :)

I would recommend rereading the MSDN entry on the Assembly object. From the docs:

Do not use LoadFile to load assemblies that you want to execute. LoadFile does not load files into the LoadFrom context, and does not resolve dependencies using the load path, as the LoadFrom method does.

LoadFile is strictly used to inspect an assembly on a file system. This is handy when you want to "look" but not actually run anything in an assembly. It does not load dependancies or do any other checking and hence is unreliable for execution.

P/Invoke

Hello,
could anybody help me, please?

How do I do the P/Invoke of the following function (from TTNCom.lib of TomTom SDK)?

static INT GetSdkVersionInfoV01(TNavVersionInfoV01& aVersionInfo);<br />
<br />
struct TNavVersionInfoV01<br />
{<br />
  char iVersion[16];<br />
  INT  iBuildNumber;<br />
};

I've tried:

[DllImport("TTNCom.dll", EntryPoint = "?GetNavigatorVersionInfoV01@CTomTomNavigatorCom@@SGHAAUTNavVersionInfoV01@1@@Z")]<br />
extern static int GetNavigatorVersionInfoV01(ref TNavVersionInfoV01 aVersionInfo);<br />
<br />
public struct TNavVersionInfoV01 <br />
{<br />
  char[] iVersion;<br />
  int iBuildNumber;<br />
}

but when calling it like:

TNavVersionInfoV01 nv = new TNavVersionInfoV01();<br />
<br />
int ShowTT = GetNavigatorVersionInfoV01(ref nv);

I get System.NotSupportedException.

There must be some problem with marshalling of types ... Confused | :confused:

Thanks anyway,

Honic

Hi!
Besides the fact that I don't know if your EntryPoint is correct (does it work if you leave out the EntryPoint parameter altogether?), you'll have to specify the size of iVersion for marshalling.
Right now you're just saying it's an array of char (without any size given), but the original declaration says it's a char[6].

Try this struct declaration:

public struct TNavVersionInfoV01
{
  [MarshalAs( UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst=6 )]
  char[] iVersion;
  int iBuildNumber;
}
