Re: finding a specific node in XML with given string

thanks for replies

I've changed my app a bit.
to be more precisive, the XML document is like:

<app>
<appname>application1</appname>
<action><arg>argument1</arg><ges>gesture1</ges></action>
</app>
<app>
<appname>application2</appname>
<action><arg>argument2</arg><ges>gesture2</ges></action>
</app>
..etc

I'm choosing a node from my treeview first, and the node in the treeview has the name with "title" node's inner text, (so arg and ges nodes are siblings for the title)

what I'm doing right now is;

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load();


XmlNode editing = doc.SelectSingleNode(treeView1.SelectedNode.Text); //here I'm trying to find a node with selected single node's text

editing.NextSibling.InnerText = "changedText"; //and here I'm trying to change the inner text of the arg or ges nodes' innertext

in fact, application gives "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." message pointing the "XmlNode editing = doc.blahblah" line

any further help?

edit: there's also a <title>NodeTitle1/2</> tag among arg and ges nodes which I forgot to add to xml example

The problem lies on you SelectSingleNode line.

You have to treat XPath statements a bit like directory structures. Unless there's a top level node of that name you won't find it.

You can use \\ to denote any (this node and all below). Try the below:

XmlNode editing = doc.SelectSingleNode(@"\\" +treeView1.SelectedNode.Text);

yeah this seems like the answer, but I couldn't understand the string structure

I've pasted your line in my code and it still gives an error:

XPathException was unhandled:
'\\Applications' has an invalid token.

Thanks Rob you've been very helpful

but now another error occured in the next line,

XmlNode editing = dom.SelectSingleNode(@"//" + treeView1.SelectedNode.Text);  //this is not a problem any more
editing.NextSibling.InnerText = "changedText"; //this line says : "NullReferenceException was unhandled....  Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I promise, no more questions =))

Derive a class from Picture box and override the OnPaint handler. You can then just treat your new class as a control and drop it on whatever forms you want.

I am not sure, but I think that it is using the ToString() method. As it is managing to store the class, I can only assume that the datacolumn type is one of the text variants (varchar, nvarchar etc.).

I think that you are going to have to use blob storage techniques, together with (possibly binary) serialization, to do this.

Maybe you will get lucky and someone who has done something like this will help.

well i cant image you are wanting to display the class in any way in a cell so why dont you try using the Tag property of the DataRow? I am assuming you just need to get information from the class why you have a row selected.

dataRow.Tag = myClass;

then when you need it you can just do...

MyClass myClass = (MyClass)dataRow.Tag;

1. How do you know the value is a string?
2. The property indexer of DataRow is typed to return object, but you can cast it back to the original type.

Crop a circle image from a square picture

hi,
I making a windows application in C# and my problem is that,
I have a square picture. I need to draw a circle on it, and everything
outside that circle to be set to a certain color, so the image looks framed

On other words, I want to crop a circle form a rectangular picture

Any hints/any help ..........

thanks in advance

Hi,

the Graphics class holds all you need: methods FromImage() and DrawEllipse() should do it.
You may use several DrawEllipse() with increasing radius to remove the four corners, or just one
with appropriate radius and Pen width.

Make the Ellipse bigger than the picture and use a huge pen width.

It does compile and it is showing that null reference eexception is unhandled
it is asking to create an object instance in this line (System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat)
how can it be done any help please

SaveFileDialog save = new SaveFileDialog();
save.Filter = "JPeg Image|*.jpg|Bitmap Image|*.bmp|Gif Image|*.gif";
save.Title = "Save the File";
save.ShowDialog();
string fName = save.FileName;

if (save.FileName != "")
{
System.IO.Stream fileStream = (System.IO.FileStream)save.OpenFile();

switch (save.FilterIndex)

For whatever reason, the OpenFile has returned a null Stream (Did you press cancel?)

Two things:

1:

SaveFileDialog save = new SaveFileDialog();
save.Filter = "JPeg Image|*.jpg|Bitmap Image|*.bmp|Gif Image|*.gif";
save.Title = "Save the File";
if(save.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) Use this to prevent exception on Cancel click
{
string fName = save.FileName;

if (save.FileName != "")
{
System.IO.Stream fileStream = (System.IO.FileStream)save.OpenFile();

switch (save.FilterIndex)
{
case 1:
this.button7.Image.Save(fileStream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
break;
case 2:
this.button7.Image.Save(fileStream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif);

break;
case 3:
this.button7.Image.Save(fileStream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp);
break;
}
fileStream.Close();
}
}
}

Not sure if this is right, you have a footer to the TABLE that will be based on the table content. I think you need a PAGE footer to do the fixed position at the bottom of the page.
