Please put your code in <pre> tags so it is readable.

What is fis and files? From the little bit of context provided, can we assume fis is defined as FileInfo[]? There are multiple possibilities for files, most of which imply that it is some sort of collection or array. In that case, you won't have a CopyTo method.

There is also not a CopyTo(String, String) method on FileInfo, so is it safe to assume that you actually meant File.Copy(String, String)?

In either case, both methods only operate on an individual file and all parameters must be a fully qualified file name.

They do the same work and one really isn't any faster than the other, so it all depends on how you are getting the original file.

Scott.

Uhhh, what?? I have no idea what you're talking about. Are you saying that you WANT IT to put a small black box in the textbox when you hit the "Tab" key??

Not unless you describe the problem better.

Sure. Permission granted. With a question like this, there's really no other answer possible. You just asked if you could do it. Sure, why not? The real question comes in now, "Do you have the ability to do it??" Only you can answer that...

Or did you have a real question, like what part of creating your own custom button class are you stuck on??

You can, and this is done using owner drawn code, so that's what you want to google on.

Operator Reflection?

JoasiaP13-Sep-07 13:38

13-Sep-07 13:38

Hi,

I'm not sure if what I'm after is possible.
I have 3 values stored in the DB, two being variables and the third an operator (ie =, !=, >= etc) - all stored as a string.
What I need is a function that evaluates the 2 variables based on the operator and returns true or false.
so if(var1 operator var2)
return true;
else: return false;

I know that I could do a switch statement to check what the operator is and then type the code for it, but I was wondering if there is a dynamic way in which I could get at the operator based on the string values of "=" or ">=" etc ? That would enable me to add more operators to the db without changing code. The operators I need to support from the start are =, !=, >, <, >=, <= however there might be more in the future.

Any help greately appreciated.

Jo

You could use the CSharp.Compiler (see this article http://www.codeproject.com/cs/algorithms/matheval.asp[^]), but if you're concerned about efficiency at all, I'd go with the switch statement.

If you're using 2.0, you could write a ~~template~~ generic comparer class to handle variables of any type.

There might be a fancier/more efficient way, but this works:

public class OpEval<T> where T : IComparable<T>
{
public static bool Eval( T arg1, T arg2, string op )
{
int c = arg1.CompareTo( arg2 );

switch( op )
{
case "=":
return c == 0;
case "!=":
return c != 0;
case ">":
return c > 0;
case "<":
return c < 0;
case ">=":
return c == 0 || c > 0;
case "<=":
return c == 0 || c < 0;
default:
throw new ArgumentException("Invalid operator");
}
}
}

Call like:

bool equal = OpEval<int>.Eval(50, 60, "=");

You get the idea...

Or make a method for each operator, and have a Dictionary of them?

thanx,
djavid

Write a method in your C# code that calls a stored procedure that checks, based on the data being added, whether a matching record already exists.

Also you can set the column of the data grid's datatable which need to be unique to be true.

How to hide a serial number in a file?

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if there is a way I can add some information like a serial number to a file. I am currently doing this with adding the serial number to the file name using the System.IO.FileInfo class.

Would it be possible to have the serial number somewhere more safer. something like Metadata used in mp3 file.

Thank you very much and have a great day.

Hi,
Is there anyway to create the port for the printer and its interface?
I browsed online and couldnt' find any. I am not sure how to do it at all..
if you know any links or reference please tell me.

Thanks

Hi,

i don't really know what you mean by "create the port for the printer", but there are some articles on CP about using the printer-port in c#

For example: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/csppleds.asp[^]

I hope this helped you a bit

Port like FILE;(Print to File) using existing HP print postscript driver.
There isn't actual physical printer.

Thanks.

If you've installed the driver for your virtual printer correctly, there should be no difference to printing on a physical printer.

You are right, but I can's save to the specific location for all the files at once. Everytime the document prints, I got Message Prompted asking me where do I want to save the output file.
Here what I did when I add new Printer.

1) Add Printer
2) Click Next
3) Select Local printer attached to this computer
4) Click Next
5) Print To File Port
7) Select Printer Driver like HP Laser Jet 5Si PS

When I print test page, the printer ask me where I would like to save every time I print.

I would I tell the driver to save all the printed pages to specific location with user defined name??

From what I userstanding, port is the one who saving all the printed data into specific location? If I'm wrong, please correct me.

Thanks.

XML to HTM using C#

phillippio13-Sep-07 8:41

13-Sep-07 8:41

Hello All,

I am having issues trying to convert XML to HTML using C#. I have done this before using simple style sheets and simple xml documents.

I now have to do this on a larger scale.

The current issue is that I get an XsltException stating 'matches()' is an unknown XSLT function. This exception is thrown on the xslCompiledTransform.transfrom call.

Is this a standard function? If so how do I use it?

If anyone can help me with this I would greatly appreciate it.

My code snippet.

String outputFile = outputFileTextBox.Text;

XmlUrlResolver resolver = new XmlUrlResolver();

XslCompiledTransform tran = new XslCompiledTransform(true);

tran.Load(new XPathDocument(xsltFileTextBox.Text), XsltSettings.Default, resolver);

tran.Transform(xmlInTextBox.Text, outputFile);

Thanks in advance for all the help.

Looks like a problem in the XSLT. Do you refer to matches() in there?

Re: XML to HTM using C#

phillippio13-Sep-07 11:28

phillippio

13-Sep-07 11:28

The call to matches() is in the xslt

<xsl:when test="matches(//geia:JA_transportation_data/geia:transportation_indicator, 'S')">

Is this function standard in xslt or do I have to import something to use it. If so how?

Thanks,
