It's not language-dependent. A single "\n" is unix-style, but Windows wants a "\r\n" to denote a newline. Mind you that "\n" is also treated as a newline, but it's not the convention.
Meaning that if you search an ASCII-text under Windows for newlines, you'd typical be looking for the "\r\n" combination. If you only replaced the "\n" character, a "\r" would remain.
Whot?

So C# is just sticking more closely to the "\r\n" convention that C++ did. Fair enough!

In C++ does \n write a \n or a \r\n on windows systems and \r on OS9 and prior macs. The intent could have been to use \n as an alias for the platform specific newline character </devils advocate>

Text files generally contain several "lines" of text, separated by "linefeeds" (ASCII 10).
On some operating systems, the file will also contain "carriage returns" (ASCII 13).
The developers of the original C library decided that, for portability, the programmer shouldn't need to know the details.
So, in C you just specify '\n' and the operating system will add a '\r' if it chooses. Likewise, when reading a text file, if the file contains '\r\n', the '\r' will not be returned to the program.
And it was good.
But the designers of .net decided otherwise and think that the programmer should know the details, so we usually have to specify the '\r' or use System.Environment.NewLine which is supposed to aid portability (not that they expect .net to be ported), but which will do just the opposite in the end.
In theory, on a Windows system NewLine will equate to "\r\n" and on some other system it may be "\n" or "\r" or who knows what.
The problem, as I see it, is that this won't work on OpenVMS -- OpenVMS supports many types of files, including many types of text files.
On an OpenVMS system, you can have text files with "\r\n", "\n", or "\r" or with Fortran encoding, just about anything -- what will NewLine be set to on OpenVMS if .net gets ported to it? I suspect they will settle on "\n" and let the operating system figure it out -- just like in C.

Since you've already been told the escape sequence is not language dependent, let me give you a tip that is specific to C#: don't use "\r\n", use Environment.NewLine instead.
Cheers,
Vikram. (Proud to have finally cracked a CCC!)

Thanks Vikram, I had spotted that one. Two characters in \n to 19 in Environment.NewLine...such is the price of progress...*sigh*

Worse, try embedding it in a string literal.
string s = "Hello, \nworld!"
is way better than
string s = string.Format ( "Hello, {0}world!" , System.Environment.NewLine ) ;

I have a list box in my WinForms app that uses up and down buttons to organize the items. What I really would like is to be able to drag the items to the desired position within the list box.
The only information I could find was regarding dragging & dropping to and/or from the list box. Can anyone point me in the right direction for what I'd like to do? Thanks!!! 
I should note that this is a .NET 2.0 app

Greetings all,
I am facing a problem in my project.
I created a button that should color the whole row to a red when cloumn " called status" is equal to "open".
As an example:
when column "status" of that row is "OPEN" then the whole row will be red.
When column "status" of that row is "STOP" then the whhole row will be green.
and etc depending on the condition.
that will be checked in the whole database.
Thank you for your help and regards,

What control are you using ? DataGridView ?
then:
foreach(DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView.Rows)
{
foreach(DataGridViewCell cell in row.Cells)
{
cell.Style.BackColor = Color.Red;
}
}

Hello,

Do you have visual Basic 6 runtime installed on your machine?Mswinsck.ocx which is Windows Socket Control is not part of Windows by default.In C# you really needn't to use this component.You have system.net.sockets namespace instread.

Hello!
I am using windows application and I have a datagridview which is i am filling from some datatable and after every 15 second i am fetching data from sql database table and filiing datatable again and then binding that datatable with the same datagridview. for refreshing datagriedview in every 15 second i have used timer control now i want to check if datagridview column call "premium" is less than the value in the newly filled datatable then i want to change that column's cell value to blue b'coz current value is greater than the previous value.
can anyone give me the solution for this....plz send me sample code
thanx in advance
|
|
|
|
|
this is a sample for changing color of all cells in a row :
foreach(DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView.Rows)
{
foreach(DataGridViewCell cell in row.Cells)
{
cell.Style.BackColor = Color.Red;
}
}
|
|
|
|
|
thanx for ur help
but how can i chack if that cell value is less than datatable column value... ie
if((convert.todouble(gv.rows[0].cells["Premium"].value)<(dt.Rows[0]["premium"]))
.......because when i bind datagridview with datatable then both shows the same value so how can i check the condition and where should i do this..
plz give me some sample code...
thanx in advance........

What do you want to compare ?
If you bind datatable to datagridview, it is the same. What you see in datagridview is the same with what you have in datatable.
Values in datagridview change automatically if you change something in datatable.
|
|
|
|
|
hii,
i want to compare the previous datagridview cell value with the current datatable value if previous datagridvalue is less than datatable current value then change the color of that cell value or only cell.
i.e.
if previous datagridview value is 5 and current datatable value is 10 then
change the color
|
|
|
|
|
yes, then save the new values in a new datatable. don't overwrite the datatable in datagridview. then compare both datatable.

OK This is one you either know what it is or you dont. Im drawing some text to a c# listview. When the mouse first moves over the listview the text flickers. Actually if you hold the mouse it looks like the text is actually being drawn over with the background. This isnt the case there is no way through the drawing code that draws the background without the text and like I said this only occurs the first time you mouse over a new item added to the list. Any mouse moves over a specific item after the first draw fine.
I know for a fact its not wm_erasebackground ( trapped that ) nothing.
Its not a double buffering issue either like I said subsequent mouse moves are fine.
Refreshing and invalidating in strategic places have no effect.
Im currently out of suspects so looking for some new suspects to test out.

Thanks and nice try but you've misunderstood the problem. Inserting items and the drawing in general are fine until you move the mouse over an item for the first time. As I said originally its not a double buffer or wm_erasebackground problem which are the normal culprits if it was either of those the problem would be continuous.
Neither is it a MouseEnter or MouseHover problem as I've trapped these and still no joy.
Basically the first time the mouse goes over a listview item the item text is removed and it takes my code a moment to redraw the image, which is why it flickers.

What version are you codding your app?
Does that happen to other version if you change?
Are you using custom cursors? Some cursors image doesn't have alpha-transparent image
And i do not know if this is relevalent, but try:
http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44953[^]
Edit: I often use ListView, but i have never seen this effect. I am coding in .NET Framework 3.5 SP1.

Not sure exactly when installed on a clean machine it requires 2.5 to run but I'm not exactly a dedicated follower of fashion these days.

No custom cursors at all.

Not really seen it myself before. I've been trying to make it worse by excessive calls to make it draw but it doesnt have any effect, no flickers nothing. Then I move the mouse over an item and instant flicker. It's definetly the mouse move causing it and I was wondering if it was because the mouse moves where swamping the message queue but again if it was doing that the flicker wouldnt clear up because once an individual listitem has flickered you can wave the mouse over it as much as you want and it wont flicker at all.

Look what just found
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.listview.drawitem.aspx[^]
"Because of a bug in the underlying Win32 control, the DrawItem event occurs without accompanying DrawSubItem events once per row in the details view when the mouse pointer moves over the row, causing anything painted in a DrawSubItem event handler to be painted over by a custom background drawn in a DrawItem event handler. See the example in the OwnerDraw reference topic for a workaround that invalidates each row when the extra event occurs. An alternative workaround is to put all your custom drawing code in a DrawSubItem event handler and paint the background for the entire item (including subitems) only when the DrawListViewSubItemEventArgs..::.ColumnIndex value is 0.
