That is a nice article you linked to. I am wondering why it was voted down a bit... It may be an older article from 2002, but the information looks still useful.

Use System.DateTime.Now

textbox.Text=System.DateTime.Now.ToString();
at page load or any buttion's click event wherever you want.

exactly. and use a timer if u want it to look like a clock Smile | :)

there are no facts, only interpretations

And use the conditional operator ?: to format it like a real clock Smile | :)

int Hours = ((YourTimeVariable / 1000) / 3600);
int Minutes = ((YourTimeVariable / 1000) / 60) - (Hours * 60);
int Seconds = ((((YourTimeVariable / 1000)) - (Minutes * 60)) - (Hours * 3600));

strHours = Hours < 10 ? "0" + Hours.ToString() : Hours.ToString();
strMinutes = Minutes < 10 ? "0" + Minutes.ToString() : Minutes.ToString();
strSeconds = Seconds < 10 ? "0" + Seconds.ToString() : Seconds.ToString();

Time_TextBox.Text = strHours + ":" + strMinutes + ":" + strSeconds;

strHours = Hours.ToString("D2"); etc. will suffice.

- make Visual display line numbers: Tools/Options/TextEditor/...
- show exceptions with ToString() to see all information
- before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google

Or maybe just use the ToString method Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

DateTime.Now.ToString("hh:mm:ss");

only two letters away from being an asset

Prevent DataGridView to move to next row after edit?

or be lazy and use DateTime.ToLongTimeString ( alternatively :DateTime.ToShortTimeString ) methods

Is there a way to prevent dataGridView to move to the next row after editing the cell? It happens after EndEdit event, so handling EndEdit doesn't help.

Tnx in advance

Did you try saving the current cell address while editing and on the KeyDown event handler go back to the address you saved?? just a thought Smile | :)

Yes, the problem is that currentCell is moved after CellEndEdit event. I can reposition current cell back to coordinates I want in CellEndEdit event, but something after that happens in DataGridView that moves currentCell one field down, and I simply can't find out where it is happening.

'using' vs fully qualified types

Malcolm Smart18-Aug-07 0:22

C++ but applied equally, if not more so to C#...

On a recent contract I added a

<br />
using MynameSpace.MyStuff <br />

to the header and proceeded to use my classes. I got a roasting for the using 'using'. Some nobby quote like "If god had meant for us to use 'using' he wouldn't have given us namespaces'. I can see how 'using' can stop the prevention of name collision, but it does help in the speed of development.

<br />
System.Drawing.Color myColor1 = System.Drawing.Color.Red;<br />
System.Drawing.Color myColor2 = System.Drawing.Color.Green;<br />
System.Drawing.Color myColor3 = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;<br />

<br />
using System.Drawing;<br />
<br />
Color myColor1 = Color.Red;<br />
Color myColor2 = Color.Green;<br />
Color myColor3 = Color.Blue;<br />

Does anybody have any tips / hints /preferences when 'using' is ok, and when to use fully qualified types. Do you use 'using' for the framework and fully qualified for your own? A mixture of both?

I would use 'using' anywhere that I am going to use an object from that namespace more than once. Seriously, anyone who tells you otherwise is a moron. This isn't C++, where namespace std contains pretty much everything, .NET namespaces are much smaller.

Yes, therefore figuring out what namespace some Widget is in without resorting to Visual Sudio is very difficult, a fully-qualified name avoids the problem.

No, it doesn't. Perhaps if you're using intellisense to *search* for something, and elect to have to search *again*, rather than turn it into a using statement. I rarely find that I have to look, I know where most things I use are.

Oh, yes, you know where the things you use are, but I might not. And snippets posted on here rarely include the using directives.

In a team environment, or one with consultants coming and going, the standard should be to never use the using directive.

I would expect members of my team to figure out which namespace something is in fairly easy. Visual Studio 2005 makes it even easier because the smart tag will pop up asking if you want it to create the using statement or make it fully qualified.

And if they are a consultant then I would most definitely expect them to be able to figure these things out or I'll be telling them where the door is.
