Can anybpdy tell me why we are using Serialization , if we can save the data directly to data base... then what is the use of saving it on hard disk
Thanks in advance

Not every app, needs a database.

For example, I have a program where we use serialization to store a list of class instances that we want to be able to change by simply changing the config file, in an app that has no database.

Some examples where serialization can be uses:
* Load / Save documents in your app (where each document is object based)
* App configs / settings
* Offline data in smart clients
* As a file based queue before you write data to a DB

How do I fix this mess!! trying to C# programme which displays changing minutes and seconds, representing them by two long rectangles, maximum width of rectangle equal to 600 pixels (10 pixels for each minute and each second). redraw the two rectangles every second. please help!!!!
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace WindowsApplication1
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
private Random randomNumber = new Random();
//private void timer1_Tick();
private Graphics paper;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
paper = progressBar1.CreateGraphics();
timer1.Interval = 600;
timer1.Enabled = true;
//count = count + 1;
//label1.Text = Convert.ToString(count / 60);
}
private void start_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
timer1.Start();
}
private void stop_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
timer1.Stop();
}
private void clear_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
paper.Clear(Color.White);
}
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//int x = 5;
//int y = 20;
int x, y, size;
Brush myBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.Black);
x = timer1.Tick+= progressBar1.Width;
y = timer1.TickGetType+= progressBar1.Height;
size = randomNumber.Next(1, 60);
paper.FillRectangle(myBrush, x,y,size,size);

Disaster. Handle the paint event and invalidate your form in the tick event instead.

If it's a clock, why does it move randomly ?

any suggested alterations on this code???

Well, I'd say read up on the paint event and start again. If this is meant to be a clock, I can only assume you copied it from somewhere and you're trying to change it to work as a clock ? Start from scratch.

yes I did copy frpm some where and I thought it would guide me in getting what am trying to do. I now can't make sense of what am trying to do hence my post

Funny, I got a 1 and a 5 in the same thread....
Copying code you don't understand is never a good start. Someone posted code that should do all of what you want. I'd have preferred to walk you through it bit by bit, but you have the code on this thread, now I recommend you take the time to study it and research the bits you don't understand, so you learn from it.

Lovely
CreateGraphics has it's place, but it gets misused a lot, and a clock is surely something that could get obscured, even if it does repaint itself every second.

hey ketto
i see your new to this forum, would you please put code in your future posts in code and pre tags... especially if you posting quite a few lines of code...
the reson for this is to keep the formatting (indentation)... EG
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace WindowsFormsApplication14
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
}
}
now doesnt that look better?
good luck with your problem

Good Day,
Say I have an array of numbers. For instance:
int[] myNumber = {1,11,21,42,32};
and I would like to randomly remove 2 items from that array. It is easy to implement, but mine was sort-of inefficient (I'm working with large arrays). So I'm asking for some advice.
Thanks. 
It is said that the most complex structures built by mankind are software systems. This is not generally appreciated because most people cannot see them. Maybe that's a good thing because if we saw them as buildings, we'd deem many of them unsafe.

Let's see the code, how can where is it being inefficient?

Well, what I do is first I get the size of the array, say 10, then randomly generate a number from 1 to 10, then check if the number generated has already been removed, if not, generate again, if yes, remove it. So it's like a guessing game.

If you can't change it to a List as Christian suggests, then instead of generating a new value, simply increment (or decrement) until you find a non-removed value (be sure to wrap if you hit the end of the array).

There's no efficient way to remove from the middle of an array, use a list instead.

I have been doing C# (WinForms) development for the past 5 years. I have just started an ASP project. From my experience I have always programmed to type safe objects that implemented the needed interfaces to allow generics. The current projects is using DataTables as the primary object for storing all information and does not use type safe objects that implement generic interfaces. Today, I had a discussion with the programmer who wrote the system that uses only tables and was unable to give him a list of the true benefits that type safe objects using generics provide. Can anyone list what advantage using the type safe objects have over using table objects handling everything.
Thanks,
Steve

Well - the first one is typesafety. You know - letting the compiler catch errors rather than having to rely on runtime. Secondly, DataTables - yukk..... if you change a fieldname in your database then you are going to have one hell of a job catching all of the instances of the DataTable throughout the application. Also - it's not interoperable with none .NET systems without a great deal of work, and it's a hell of a big structure (serialization is a bitch with this).
There - is that enough to get on with?
