So, the 99/99 is the systolic/diastolic blood pressure which may be for either the left or right arm, but sometimes for both arms?
I'd use a tab control that contains two tabs. One tab would say "Left Arm" and the other would say "Right Arm". Each tab would have a label that says "Systolic / Diastolic" and a MaskedTextBox with the mask set to "990/990". I believe "9" means "digit is optional" and "0" means "digit is required". That would allow the user to enter a number between 0 and 999 for the systolic value and for the diastolic value. That would also allow the user to enter a blood pressure for the left arm and/or the right arm.
As far as storing it in the database, you could make it complicated, but I'd just keep two varchar fields (one for the left arm and one for the right). One field could be called LeftArmPressure and the other RightArmPressure. You could store each as string like this: "120/80". Then you just serialize/parse as necessary. If you wanted, you could create four fields (LeftSystolic, LeftDiastolic, RightSystolic, RightDiastolic) or you could normalize the field into a new table that points back to your primary table, but that is more complicated than it needs to be. Unless you need indexing on both the systolic and diastolic (unlikely), I'd just go with the two fields.

but i am trying to reduce number of controls on the form?!
is it possible to have one control, textbox for example with a mask of (999/999 Left) or (999/999 Right)? then save each separately in sql?

The tab control is probably the best option if you want the user to have the option of entering both a left and right value. Since the user only sees one tab at a time, that reduces the amount of space used by the controls on the screen. And you only have to interact with the two textboxes in the code.
If, however, you only want the user to enter either a left or a right, you would only need a textbox and either a button or a combobox. The user would enter "999 / 999" in the textbox. If you went with a combobox, you'd just add two items to it: "Left" and "Right". The user would select whichever. If you went with a button, you'd just have the text change when the button is clicked. When it says "Left" and is clicked, it changes to say "Right". And when it says "Right" and is clicked, it changes to say "Left". The code would be something like this:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (button1.Text.ToLower() == "left")
{
button1.Text = "Right";
}
else
{
button1.Text = "Left";
}
}
Also, if you wanted to add a third item to the combobox that says "Left and Right", the user might then enter text like "999 / 999 | 999 / 999". But you'd want to make it clear to the user that they should type it in that format (a MaskedTextBox is one way to do that).
If you are really ambitious, you could create a custom control that acts like DateTimePicker. The text is displayed like "999 / 999 Left". When the user clicks on "Left" and presses up or down, it changes to "Right" and when the users presses up or down when it says "Right", it changes to "Left". And when the user clicked on one of the numbers, pressing up or down could increment or decrement the numbers (and page up / page down could increment/decrement by increments of 10). You might even be able to get away with that by using a TextBox and using the events (such as key presses and mouse clicks) to create that functionality.

Hi,
I suggest you store the systolic and diastolic pressures in separate, numeric fields; don't turn them into a single string in your database. Use strings for texts, and for types the database cannot handle in any other way, but not for numbers.

I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that. All Toronto weekends should be extremely wet until we get it automated in regular forums, not just QA.

Now that I think about it, this is probably a better idea than combining them into strings. Makes working with the data easier in SQL. The data is also smaller that way.

can anyone help plz..
I want to have a textbox with a mask of ##0/##0 Left and ##0/##0 Right so user must both number and select either L or R to display Left or right
|
|
|
|
|
You are in luck. This post describes how to do just that.
jrahma wrote: select either L or R to display Left or right
What do you mean by this? Select what? A combobox? A button that toggles the text? A toggle button that is inside of the textbox? The keys "L" and "R"?
|
|
|
|
|
isn't it possible to have it all in the textbox without the button?
|
|

That's exactly what I described in the post I liked to. Read it.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction.
For our product, we need to implement a translation system for end-users.
We want them to be able to change the labeling of fields and use their
own "language" to make the app work for them. Different jobs take different jargon.
Perhaps there is a way to achieve this using localization?
Anybody wanna share their vision? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
TedLife would be so much easier if I had the source code!

I think that is the easiest aproach. But if you want end-users to translate your app, you would need to create manualy (A Lot of work).

Normally localisation would be the best approach for this, however if you are letting the end users define their own labels etc. then I suggest adding a set of metadata management tables to your database, create some management dialogs and read all your label captions from the database. For best performance you will need to cache the metadata in memory for the duration of the application life-cycle.

This is a simple 3 step process
1. Do some research
2. Do some codin'
3. GoTo 1

You missed a few steps:
2.1 Do some debugging
2.2 Do some more coding
2.3 Give up and learn to say "Do you want fries with that?"
Step 3 would not be needed  You should never use standby on an elephant. It always crashes when you lift the ears. - Mark Wallace

Many of us have never used ASP.NET nor went to that exam, so whe do not know what kind of these question will be. The best bet is to know ASP.NET inside and out. And congratiolation for posting your email here, you yust got on a spam list.

how to write data into a text file from a console application?
|
|
|
|

Maybe by using StreamWriter. On Codeproject there are a lot of articles with file reading and writing. Go out and search this site and if you can't find then start searching by using google.
