I have a form that has many text boxes on it. When the user selects a record to work with I load all the text boxes with the approiate data. I want to be able to determine if the user changed any of the content in any of the text boxes?

I have looked at the text change event, but won't this event fire when I load the text boxes from the db?

If any body has any suggestions or sample code for doing this it would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Two quick solutions.
0: Unsubscribe to the TextChanged events immediately prior to loading from the Database and add the subscribers again afterwards.
1. Use a boolean flag field that you set to true when loading and set to false afterwards. Check this flag in the TextChanged event handling method(s) and just return immediately if true.

I will vote for the boolean. Here is an example:

private bool mInUpdate;

private void LoadControlWithData()
{
//I want to keep the last mode

bool lastUpdateMode = mInUpdate;

try
{
mInUpdate = true;

//Update code goes here
}
finally
{
//restore the last flag
mInUpdate = lastUpdateMode;
}

}

private void textBox1_TextChanged(....)
{

//Test the update flag
if(!mInUpdate)
{
//Not in update lets do stuff
}

}

I have this scenario:

I have hash table with keys are same as private member variable names something like below:

key ---- value
--------------------
m_strID ---- "123"
m_strName ---- "xyz"

Now without writing any loop and case statement i want to assign values from hashtable to my class local variables:

I don't want to do like below as i have to hard code things:

foreach (string key in hashtable.keys)
{
switch(key)
{
case "m_strID":
(local member) m_strID = value
}
}

Even i don't want to use reflection, i guess, it has some overhead. I can't think of any other way. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks.

I don't think that's possible without Reflection. The overhead would only really be noticed if you loop several hundred times anyway, so there really isn't any need to worry if you're just putting together a small application

Thanks for the reply, i just want to confirm that there is no other way without reflection and am not missing any good logic. This bit which i am talking about is used in my serialize and deserialize process. Even there are few members (about 50), its going to be executed many times (every time i send a query across wire). Even MS logic for finding the serializable members and serializing uses reflection (hope i am not wrong).

Dhaim, we are implemented ISerializable in our classed and handling serialization ourself. I am looking more optimized code for serializing objects on ourown.

If you are looking for a faster way and less space, serialize the bytes your self using BitConverter class (static methods). The downside is that you need to hand code all of this unless you build a little SW that will do it for you.

You mean Ajax?[^]

Have a look at this article[^] and how it gets the data from the server side using the Ajax.Net framework.

Thanks for your reply, But no this is not what I mean

I want to raise an Event in C# DLL class and this should be Caught in Javascript Code

<script language="javascript">

var myObj
myObj = new ActiveXObject("myDLL.myClass");
myObj.myPropertyOne="value1";
myObj.processValue();

</script>

Now if I through Event with value 0 Then how can I get the Event in
Javascript.
Thanks!

Look, I just gave you an example of how to communicate between the C# and JavaScript. If you can't figure out how to do it then I suggest you do something else!

Loop {
response = checkValue();
if (response != 0)
    Do Event
wait(2 seconds).
}

hmmm pie

17-Mar-09 6:06

your app is a game? if so then why do you not do the connection within your own app?

Unless of course your just trying to capture packets and manipulate them from some other game, i.e. some sort of hacking ability...
