System.Configuration or Enterprise Library Config 3.0 for C# 2.0 [modified]

I would like to serialize a Data Class to an XML File. I know this was possible with Enterprise Library 2006 Jan version using 2 or 3 lines of Code. Any info if this is possible in System.Configuration of .NET 2.0 or Enterprise Library 3.0 version?

Example class:
Public partial class Employee
{
public int ID;
public string Name;
public Address empAddress;
}

public partial class Address
{
public string firstLine;
public string secondLine;
}

I would like to serialize the Employee Class to a Config file. (let's say EmpData.config)

Appreciate a quick response on this.

You don't need the EntLib to serialize your class. Use XmlSerializer

XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create("EmpData.config");<br />
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Employee));<br />
serializer.Serialze(writer, employee);

Thanks for your input.

I don't want to use XMLSerializer. Is this possible using EntLib or System.Configuration?
I remember something was there in EntLib 1.1 - Configuration.Write(FileName, Object);

Something similar in EntLib or in C# 2.0?

Is there something wrong with XmlSerializer? I'll give you a hint, Configuration.Write does the same thing, uses XmlSerializer.

No issue... Just wanted to understand if there is any equivalent in EntLib 3.0 or C# 2.0 ?

No idea why the same thing is removed in new version of EntLib.

Removing $ from string

I have currency values in a dropdownlist that are formatting to look like $50, $100 etc using {0:C0}

I need to remove the $ symbol before converting the string to an Int32

I tried using LoanAmount.Replace("$", ""); but this doesnt work.

What should I be doing ?

Well, how did you used it? Assuming LoadAmount is string, you must do LoadAmount = LoadAmount.Replace("$", "") or use another string variable because strings are immutable types, original string CANNOT change.

Would work fine if the amounts were all three digits. What happens with $50 or $4000?

I was merely explaining the principle, the code can be modified to handle the full length of the string.

What if it's $4000

s=s.substring(1,s.Length);
int amnt=Convert.toInt32(s);

Assuming you are using .NET Framework v2.0 or later, you can use the Int32.TryParse(String, NumberStyles, IFormatProvider, Int32) method[^].

For the NumberStyles parameter, you probably want to use NumberStyles.Currency.

Keeping a panel proportional

Hi,

I want to implement a preview area which i want it to have a proportional size to the display resolution.

I have a workspace which is a form which is docked fill to my main window.

This is my panel size adjust function:

private void AdjustLayoutEditorSizeToDisplay(int width, int height)<br />
        {<br />
            int panelHeight;<br />
<br />
            Console.WriteLine("Display size: " + width + " x " + height);<br />
            Console.WriteLine("tpLayout size: " + this.Size.Width + "x" + this.Size.Height);<br />
            Console.WriteLine("regionPanel initial size: " + regionsPanel.Size.Width + "x" + regionsPanel.Size.Height);<br />
            int percent = Utility.PixelsToPercent(this.Size.Width, width);<br />
            Console.WriteLine("The provided width is " + percent + "% of the maximum percentage.");<br />
<br />
            if (percent > 100)<br />
            {<br />
                int diff = percent - 100;<br />
                panelHeight = Utility.PercentToPixels(height, 100 - diff);<br />
                Console.WriteLine("The height calculated based on the percentage is " + panelHeight + ".");<br />
            }<br />
            else<br />
            {<br />
                panelHeight = Utility.PercentToPixels(height, percent);<br />
                Console.WriteLine("The height calculated based on the percentage is " + panelHeight + ".");<br />
            }<br />
            regionsPanel.Size = new Size(this.Size.Width, panelHeight);<br />
            Console.WriteLine("regionPanel final size: " + regionsPanel.Size.Width + "x" + regionsPanel.Size.Height);<br />
        }

I provide the resolution and suposly it will make the panel adjust its width to the workspace width and the height propotional to that.

But i found a problem, when docked, a panel seems to keep its original Size property and so it will not give me a correct proportion and it will not adjust its width to the workspace width.

WEll.. can somebody tell me if there is a turn around for this?

Thx,

Nuno

You're asking a very top level question. The answer is, you handle the event, postback on it ( which is nasty ) and make a database call. If you can't conceptualise it on a level that's closer to the problem than that, then you shouldn't be undertaking this task.

Change the properties of AutoPoatback = true

Then double click on textbox in design mode
you will get

protected void TextBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
//Write your code here<br />
}

Hi,

I did as it is. But I want when press tab in T1
(textbox1) it check database whether the given data
in T1 is exist or not? if exist it give message like
already exist and it again wait for data there (T1)
only. once we are giving data which is not in the
database, then it moves to next field.

according to your logic it checks database. not
only that if we press tab it gives msg. and it
comes to next field. again we come back to T1 and
press tab with out changes, this time it won't give
any msg also.

Please help me.

with Thanks
