Further thinking about your requirement, I just remember something that I did in a project.
You can have a "container" form, let's say FormContain form to contain both the FormList and FormUpdate. FormContain has a panel, and you will put both listing form and update form in the panel. Base on user action, you can bring FormList or FormUpdate to front.

I want to dial a number from COM port.I am using Nokia 6300 as a modem which is connected to USB port. Even though computer is accepting mobile as a modem i am getting error in port opening. Sample programs which i used to run application gives error "No phone is connected" or "Unable to open port as it is busy in other application".
So can anybody tell me what may be the problem & how to overcome from it? Can anybody give me correct code to dial a number from COM port in C#.Net?

It could be due to the baud rate. This[^] article is about sending SMS but it may help. Once connected you should be able to use standard AT commands to dial.

As you have said, the nokia modem is connected to USB port. Please make sure that you are using the same port in your application. A common mistake people do is to try to open a COM port #1 or #2 instead of USB one.

hi there,
i m having problem that i have some float value in string, and i want to convert it in float but the precision must be 4
e.g.
string a = "83.834244245";
float b = Convert.ToSingle(a);
now please tell how can i reduce precision ?

First create a subString of the required precision. Then Parse the string for the float value.

that will take too much time, i have about 1 lakh strings, please tell any short way

This seems a little clumsy but it works
float b = (float)Math.Round(decimal.Parse(a), 4);
The Math.Round method uses 'Bankers Rounding' which may not acheive the result you require. If not you may need to use this which is even clumsier
float b = float.Parse(decimal.Parse(a).ToString("N4"));

That's not clumsy at all. That's exactly what I would suggest.

Now, that is clumsy. Converting a string to a double, to a string, to a float... Why is there no base64 and serializing to xml in there? 
If you want a different kind of rounding, just specify that in the call to Round:
float b = (float)Math.Round(decimal.Parse(a), 4, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero);
Experience is the sum of all the mistakes you have done.

I did say it was even clumsier!
I haven't come across MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero before - more learning to do

Hi,
if the values well are within int limits, then you can do things such as:
float b = Convert.ToSingle(a);
int b4= (int)(10000.0*b+0.5);
b=0.0001*b4;
This does not create any objects; variants of it will all have similar performance.

The bankers rounding, is that what you want?? (you do realize it produces even numbers only?)
or the clumsy and slow one with an unnecessary ToString() and Parse()??

no, i dont want bankers rounding,
yeah i know your way is good, but a little bit long as i have to write it about in 100 lines in a big loop
so you can think 100 * 3 repeating lines will hard to understand and a little mistake can destroy the project

Hi,
you can put all three lines in a single one (not recommended).
you can turn it into a little method.
anyway, if you think you need it a hundred times, chances are there is something
wrong with your data representation to begin with. Normally there is no need to do so,
using arrays or collections should avoid a lot of code duplication (which normally is
a bad idea).

oh yeah, a method is good idea, thanks

public static double GetValue(string what)
{
return multiplierDivider * (int)(multiplier * Convert.ToSingle(what) + 0.5);
}
what do you think about it

No, it only rounds to an even number if the number is right in the middle of two possible results. I.e. both 1.00015 and 1.00025 would both be rounded to 1.0002, but 1.00014 would still be rounded to 1.0001.

Hi Guffa, you're right.
I forgot the details, since I decided long ago it was of no value to me.
I'm an engineer, so for me if 1.00015 rounds up, so should 1.00025
And I never understood the advantage, if any, of the banker's rounding.

The advantage is that in the long run it will round up just as many times as down. If you are doing millions of transactions, and the roundings doesn't even out in the end, you may loose a lot of money.
For us non-bankers, consistency makes more sense.

I am creating DataGridView dynamically could anybody tell me how to set
tab order for the same.
Truth Is The Simplest !!!!
|

tab order of DataGirdView!!!
AFAIK i know you are talking about column order of DGV, if yes then you can not change column order in one line, you need to delete all columns then add in the required order
