I'd just do a select that joins the two tables on name, or if you do that often enough, create a view that does it. Don't do it in memory, get the database to do what it's good at.

let's assume this...
bt is a Button;
<br />
bt.Click += delegate( object sender, EventArgs e )<br />
{<br />
MessageBox.Show( "something" );<br />
};<br />
I also know that we can do this:
<br />
string s = "something";<br />
bt.Click += delegate( object sender, EventArgs e )<br />
{<br />
MessageBox.Show( s );<br />
};<br />
But.. what if I wanted to put inside the delegate some code that is stored in a string?
like...
<br />
string code ="MessageBox.Show( \"something\" );";<br />
bt.Click += delegate( object sender, EventArgs e )<br />
{<br />
??? code ????<br />
};<br />
is there anyway one can do something similar to this? I thought of reflection, but... the context would be missing. Any thoughts? thanks...

No you can't use a string for the body of the delegate. If you need to take different actions when the button is clicked, then create a handler and branch the code accordingly.

Even though... if I create an EventHandler, I'll still have the same problem. If the inner code is coming from another source, I still don't have a way to "reflect" that code. Am I right?
Thanks for the reply, btw

So, if I understand correctly, you have an object, call it B, who has the code (in string format) to run when some event in object A is fired, right? I don't understand why you can't have obj B simply add an event listener to the event of obj A. It sounds like you want to dynamically run some annonymous code from B that you won't know until runtime, but if at runtime you know the code, then why can't you just do A.Click += new ClickEventHandler(B.DoWhatever);? If this is not what you need (or want), then please explain a bit more on why exactly you need to have the php exec command in C#.

Well, the thing is, the code I do want to run, is not something I know. It's something I retrieve at runtime, let's say, from a file. I open a file, read the content, and then, have an event to run that content. That is what I want, so I can't have a B.DoWhatever function. I know this is something awkward to want... but this would be what I need. Any thoughts?
Thank you for the reply

Although as a programmer this approach appears to make sense to you (you are loading source code into a dynamic method), to the computer the approach does not make sense as the source code you are loading is not compiled. In order to achieve this, you would have to load the source code then compile it at run-time and then execute it most likely using reflection ;->

Those were my thoughts exactly, that I was stuck with reflection. Though, the context is a problem... I cannot fit the code in the context that I want.
Anyways, thank you for the replies.

Ahhhh, now I understand. Do you have control over the code in the file, or is it a third party thing that you don't want to edit? If you have control, why not make the code a class with a method that does the work for you? For example, if you want to take in a string a return a boolean, make a static class "Container" with the method "public static bool DoWork(string input)". Does this help at all? I think the problem is you are trying to modify the running dll at run-time, which sounds like it is not possible (without hacked code and a lot of work). You need to branch to new code, execute it, then return, which is exactly what functions are for. Hope this helps,

Yes, I kind of wanted something very weird, I said it. But it's only logical that it's not possible. That would mean to alter a dll in runtime... The decision I came up to go around this is using reflection. I send in a sort of a sandbox with variables that I might want to alter in the code, fetch the code from the file, encapsulate it inside a neat namespace with a class and a method, compile it, and run it. Seems to do the trick. I had to create a few "syntax hacks" to access the sandbox, like...
<br />
$var as Label.Text = "something";<br />
and in runtime replace the "pretty" line into something more ugly to access the sandbox. It works, and does the job very well.
I also needed to create two more "syntax hacks" in case I need an extra reference, or to use an extra namespace that is not included by default in the assembly chunk.
<br />
#assembly "System.Drawing.dll";<br />
#using System.IO;<br />
Those three "hacks" are not very elegant, but... it allows me to have this done in a very generic way, which, in the current project, is the only way.
Thank you all for the replies... and... if anyone as any thoughts on this, please let me know.

Hello.
I am new to c#.
When I am coding like this (I dont know whether it is right or wrong)
if (this.ColorGrade ="31-1" || this.ColorGrade="31-2" || this.ColorGrade="31-3")
{this.QGrd='F';}
I m getting the subject message.
What should I do?
|
|
|
|

Use == for comparision:
if (this.ColorGrade =="31-1" || this.ColorGrade=="31-2" || this.ColorGrade=="31-3")
this.QGrd='F';
As you can se you dont ha to include { and } when the if-line is followed by one statement only.

You're correct. Now, what does it have to do with the question that was asked?

That is a matter of programming style. For readability, I always include the brackets:
if (this.ColorGrade == "31-1" || this.ColorGrade == "31-2" || this.ColorGrade == "31-3") {
this.QGrd='F';
}
Experience is the sum of all the mistakes you have done.

Ditto me. Mind you, I hate the use of this.ColorGrade in the test. I'm not that enamoured of using this.. Note - I know this wasn't your code, so I'm not having a go here, merely stating my dislike.

I'd never been a fan till i worked on a a java project recently where this. and super. had been used religiously throughout the project. After a while i started to quite like being able to instantly know where in the inheritance heirarchy something had come from.
Saying that I still leave them out in my own projects, just too lazy i suppose.

|| is a boolean condition, which means that it is expecting boolean tests around it. So, you need a boolean condition. Now in this if statement, the boolean condition is going to be == rather than = because = is an assignment statement and not a boolean condition. I hope that's clear enough.

I've written a plug-in to work with a 3rd party app.
The code has to be installed to 3rdPartyPath\Plugins so I need to override the install path choice for the user. I can delete the page where the user gets to choose an install path but I can't work out how to tell the app to install to my custom location. I seem to be able to call out to my own dlls which should be able to tell me where to install but i can't work out how to do anything with the return value.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Cheers,
Russell

Hey guys, ive ran into a little problem here.. im interfacing with an unmanaged c++ dll in my c# application.
the dll structure is as follows:
APIENTRY ReadImage(
hInstance hObject,
unsigned char* pData,
unsigned long dataSize);
with pData being the top address of the image reading buffer allocated by the calling application.
how would i declare a variable in c#, allocate a specific ammount of memory to it, then return the
memory address of said variable. this is got me stumped :/

|
Take a look at System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal and associated information
|

Thanks for the info mike, i took a look at the class but i still have no idea how to pass the memory address as a parameter to the dll.
