I'm still not able to get this going. Because the items are in no specific order I still am getting duplicates.

ne1 have any suggestions???

I have a text string like this coming out of a database....

string nodeText = "name1:name2/name3.name4.name5.name6.name7";

that i want to load into a treeview. The first, second and third item will always be singular (just one on them) but all the other items will have multiple entrys. In a way you can look at it like name 1 and name 2 are the grandfather and grandmother. name 3 is the mother's name, name4 is 1 of her siblings. The sibling (name4) has children etc. This list can go on for generations.
I can parse the string to break the names up but I'm not sure how to recursivly add these to the treeview.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

You don't need recursion here. Once you have a string array that contains name3, name4, etc, step through them. At each step, search for te node with that name, if it exists, step in, if not, create it.

I am reading a couple of thousand entrys at a time from a database. I'm not adding to an existing tree I am building a new one on the fly.

I was trying to..

once i added name3 i wanted to add all if the name4 items that belonged to it.

Then all the name5's that belong to name4 etc.

I'm thinking recursion is the only efficient way of doing this. But I have been wrong before. Smile | :)

Recursion is a waste of time when you know in advance the number of steps you need to take.

Problem is...I don't know ahead of time the number of steps I need to take.

I am a new to use Chart Control, I have the following two questions:

1: How to select the object such as line in Chart with multiple Series, it seems that Chart Forum also has these questions, but no reply so far, anyone can give one idea for it?

2: It seems current Chart Control can not be used to plot true 3D charts, such as f(x,y,z), am I right? The so called 3D charts in the help files are not true 3D charts, I think.

thanks.

I am also new to the chart control but I have found out that you can have multiple series using the y axis.
If you look at the samples of code that came with the chart control there are many examples of doing what you are talking about.

Have a look at this site and download the samples.

For the details they invented a thing called documentation[^] which google will be happy to locate for you.

Assigning an icon to Windows Application

Hi I am creating an application through which the user can select a mode and that will change the icon. I have added different icons to my project but don't know how to change the icon.

Note: What I'm trying to do is not the same as going into properties in visual studios and changing the icon.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Prateek

Re: Assigning an icon to Windows Application

Hi,

a file has an icon in Windows Explorer; for an EXE file that icon is set at build time through the project properties.

a Form most often has a visible icon in the title bar; that one is set through the Icon property of the Form, either through Visual Designer or by run-time code. It is also used in the task bar and in the task switcher (ALT-TAB). You would typically add one or more ICO files to the project, set them to be handled as an "embedded resource", then load them from there e.g. with the Icon constructor that takes a Type and a resource name. You can also see how Visual Designer does it, and copy and adapt that code.

you mean

this.Icon = ((System.Drawing.Icon)(resources.GetObject("$this.Icon")));

but, what is "$this.Icon" referring to? and from where can I change the location of the icon?
