would like it to do nothing in some circumstances -- in other words I want it to just call the parent's event handler.
The pattern Microsoft uses (in all instances I know of) is the following:
Class Foo exposes an event named Bar, Foo also has a protected method called OnBar. OnBar does two different things, one is a side-effect of the other.
First, in the class that defines the event OnBar can include some processing but to my knowledge they just fire the event, leaving the processing to however that class calls OnBar. The Bar event is fired from within OnBar because events can only be fired while operating within the class that defines it, anywhere else you can only add or remove handlers.
The second thing that OnBar does is allow you to handle the Bar event without having to hookup another event handler, reducing a little overhead (though not much).
Because OnBar should only fire the event, you can also call OnBar yourself to fire the event outside of normal circumstances.
Another thing to note is that events (for the most part) are notifiers that something has happened so you can only respond to that thing happening. As you suggest later, in order to prevent the Click event from firing in certain circumstances you need to go to the source, the OnClick method, and not call base.OnClick in those cases.
Hope that makes some sense to you, my thoughts have been jumbled a bit lately.

I am using Visual Studio .net to try to make a button work like a ReadLine method.
I am using the button along with a textbox. The button is supposed to confirm the textbox after I have typed something in. I then want the textBox to stop reading after I have clicked the button and the information has been submitted. Then it should work again.
I'm using the Button event handler but that only works one time.

Hello,
I am attempting to create a custom class that is inherited from XmlNodeList.
public class MyNLClass : XmlNodeList
{
public string MyFunction(string name)
{
}
}
I would like to add a few additional functions. when I create class, I am getting errors like:
MyNLClass' does not implement inherited abstract member 'System.Xml.XmlNodeList.Count.get'
MyNLClass' does not implement inherited abstract member 'System.Xml.XmlNodeList.GetEnumerator()'
MyNLClass' does not implement inherited abstract member 'System.Xml.XmlNodeList.Item(int)'
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

The XmlNodeClass is cannot be created. Notice that the constructor is protected. Therefore this class was meant to be inherited from. Basically the class is essentially abstract and so are the members for which you are receiving errors.
Therefore, if you inherit from this class, you must implement all methods and properties that are abstract on this class. ie you must define these methods in your class. That is why you are getting the above errors. It's complaining that you haven't implemented them.

This more for my curiosity than efficiency, necessarily.
Is there a more straightforward way to get the fully qualified domain name of the machine the process is running on?
This is what I have so far, and it works:
<br />
System.Net.IPHostEntry ipEntry = System.Net.Dns.GetHostByName(System.Net.Dns.GetHostName());<br />
String hostName = ipEntry.HostName;<br />
In my case, at least, System.Net.Dns.GetHostName() returns just the name of my computer, not the domain name, too.

I need to create two different classes which differ only in the data member types. The first class is an "IntegerPoint" class, using integer values for the x and y. The second class is a "DoublePoint" class, using double values for the x and y.
These classes have extensive operator, method, etc. functionality. But all of the functionality is identical, again the only difference is the data member type.
Does anyone know what the "best practice" is for handling this type of situation? Can some form of inheritance be used here?

first a question:
do you need two implementations - are you having two because you are worrying about performance?
why not just have a DoubmePoint class - see if you have a problem then.
if that does not work then:
create a class called SanderNumber which can use either a integer or a double.
then create your abstract class SanderNumberUtil that uses SanderNumber.
then create a concrete class for integer and double.
This puts most of the complexity into SanderNumber - but allows you to use it polymorphically.
hope this helps.

why not just have a DoubmePoint class
I am not sure what you mean by "DoubmePoint class".
if that does not work then
I somewhat understand the theory of what your second solution is but I also can't really invision it very well. Could you give a little more detail?

type - i meant why not just have the DoublePoint class - do you really need the integer class?
otherwise
class SanderNumber
{
bool _isInteger = true;
int _valueInt;
double _valueDouble;
public SanderNumber(int value)
{
_valueInt = value;
}
public SanderNumber(double value)
{
_valueDouble = value;
_isInteger = false;
}
public int SomeFunction()
{
// if (!_isInteger) throw(some exception)
return _valueInt;
}
public double SomeFunction()
{
// if (_isInteger) throw(some exception)
return _valueDouble;
}
}
class SanderUtil()
{
SanderNumber _number;
public SanderNumber(SanderNumber value)
{
_number = value;
}
public SomeCleverStuff()
{
if (_number.SomeFunction()) > 24.0)
return;
}
}
this would give you what you want and would be type safe.....

You could implement an Interface for your methods which the two classes will inherit and have to implement. That is if the implementation of the methods are different.
|
|
|
|
|
|
you could make the integerPoint class, then derive the doublepoint class from that, and override the variables/properties inherited....just a thought.

I'm writing my first C# Windows Application using Win Forms. The program, a simple utility, is very processing intensive. Once the processing begins it continues for several minutes.
I need the program to process UI messages while it is processing data, obviously. I'm not sure how to do this using the runtime.
Would some kind person please point me in the right direction?

Well this involves some long explanation. It involves some windows understanding before you begin. What's important is that once the process is finished , it must call back on the windows message loop's main thread. I have the perfect article for you. Tale the time to read it. It's worth it.

My first thought would be to use the System.Threading class. Simply set you processing function as a thread and let it run simultaneously as your main thread.

The problem here is what happens if you want to be notified, when your thread is complete. That may be the case for many UI apps.
The article I have mentioned explains all this.

Well, just add a MessageBox function add the end of the method that contains your process

Not exactly. Again, in most cases you want to do more than add a message box. Say for instance that when the process is finished, you want to write something to a textbox on that form. You MUST NOT update the textbox in the new thread. That is a no no in Windows. You must only update controls on the windows main thread (the win proc).
The article I've already mentioned explains all this. Take the time to read it, it's informative and it helped me alot as well.

It is strange, anyone say : "it must be true", but .NET "no, rectangle isn't visible" !!!
RectangleF clippingRectangle = new RectangleF(0.0160072f,0f,0.002000898f,0.3201439f);
Region region = new Region(clippingRectangle);
bool success = region.IsVisible(new RectangleF(0,0,150,150)); // return false !!! 
Have you idea how can I correct it ? 
Please

I've found by experiment that the problem is with the width (0.002...). If either the width or the height of the rectangle used to create the region is less than 0.03125 then the problem occurs. I've also found that
region.IsEmpty(myform.CreateGraphics())
returns true if either the width or height is less than this value.
I'm afraid I've no idea why a width/height of less than 0.03125 makes a region empty, or what you can do about it (except check for a size less than this and make it bigger). 0.03125 = 1/32, so maybe this is some "magic number" used within GDI+?

Ohhh 
I use this for zoom in/out in my new control. (I was so lazy to recalculate everytime when zoom has changed cell-region and rectangle to new values)
Maybe it necessery but slower
Do you know how can I region flow by 1 pixel ? (I can be enoght in this case for me )
Thank you ...

Right. As a feature in my Animation engine, I want to be able to read an XML file for frame information.
In the engine I have an enum for storing specific types of frames.
For example one being for where the bitmap of the frame is stored.
public enum BitmapLocations
{
InExe,
Filesystem
}
Now, I have a dataset for reading an XML file into. I can cast any standard types easily. Such as:
(string)row["name"]
But when it comes to this enum value, I keep getting an invalid cast exception. I've tried:
XML:
<location>InExe</location>
C#:
(BitmapLocation)row["location"]
And this throws the exception.
I've also tried assigning the enum values to a number and using that instead, but still no luck.
Any ideas?

BitmapLocations dummy = BitmapLocations.InExe; // dummy assignment, does not matter
String s = "Filesystem";
// convert string to enum
BitmapLocations bl = (BitmapLocations) Enum.Parse(dummy.GetType(), s);
