FYI: the presence of Value13 and Value24 makes your usage of [Flags] inappropriate, see the "guidelines" in MSDN[^]. ]Flags] expects all values to be "bitwise non-overlapping" so if A and B are values, A|B should differ from A as well as from B, which your set does not satisfy. However the compiler does not check this. AFAIK the only implication is on how ToString() will operate.

Maybe I'm to tired, but I don't see how does it brakes those guidelines. I have Value1, Value2, Value3 and Value4 as my enumeration values, and for "commonly used flag combinations" I have:
Value13, that means Value1 OR Value3
and
Value24, that means Value2 OR Value4
Value13 and Value24 mean "Value 1 or 3", "Value 2 or 4", not "Value 13", "Value 24". Obviously, this enum is just an example and in my real code it's more meaningful.

Sorry, you are right, I misunderstood what was written there. Having bit combinations defined in a [Flags] enum is perfectly valid (which explains why I never got a compiler message when I accidentally did what I thought was not allowed).
Here is an example of how [Flags] interacts with ToString():
enum Numbers {
Zero=0, One=1, Two=2, Three=3, Four=4, Five=5
}
[Flags]
enum Flags {
Zero=0, One=1, Two=2, Three=3, Four=4, Five=5
}
public override void Test(int arg) {
for (int i=0; i<8; i++) log("Numbers."+i+"="+(Numbers)i);
for (int i=0; i<8; i++) log("Flags."+i+"="+(Flags)i);
}
which yields:
13:53:36.826 CPTest.log-59 Numbers.0=Zero
13:53:36.835 CPTest.log-59 Numbers.1=One
13:53:36.846 CPTest.log-59 Numbers.2=Two
13:53:36.862 CPTest.log-59 Numbers.3=Three
13:53:36.874 CPTest.log-59 Numbers.4=Four
13:53:36.884 CPTest.log-59 Numbers.5=Five
13:53:36.896 CPTest.log-59 Numbers.6=6
13:53:36.906 CPTest.log-59 Numbers.7=7
13:53:36.915 CPTest.log-59 Flags.0=Zero
13:53:36.925 CPTest.log-59 Flags.1=One
13:53:36.934 CPTest.log-59 Flags.2=Two
13:53:36.943 CPTest.log-59 Flags.3=Three
13:53:36.951 CPTest.log-59 Flags.4=Four
13:53:36.960 CPTest.log-59 Flags.5=Five
13:53:36.968 CPTest.log-59 Flags.6=Two, Four
13:53:36.977 CPTest.log-59 Flags.7=Two, Five

Hi
I want help to import slides of ppt but from different veresion (2003,2007)
I think the reference change of microsoft I can add many reference to one program
or what to display any ppt form any version pleeeeese Help
Thanks

The object model changes between versions. Later versions should be able to import older versions though.
|
|
|
|
|
Coz some one not have new version and if instull our program not work there
|
|
|
|

Then you have a problem. Potentially you could solve this by having a series of importers, and then using Inversion of Control to load the appropriate one at runtime.

Hi,
I have this VB6 code to follow and I'm fairly new to C# but I manage to do most things with my COM object in C# that I used to in VB6, but I just can't get my hand around subscription in C# despite googling for days.
I'm trying to do something like this, but no luck.
------------C#---------------
void SubscribeToEvent()
{
g.OnServiceAccessPerformanceUpdate += new INetMonClientObjNotify_OnServiceAccessPerformanceUpdateEventHandler(g_OnServiceAccessPerformanceUpdate);
}
This is the code in VB6 that works...
------------VB6--------------
Private Sub SetServiceAccessSubscription(SiteID As String, IDList() As Long)
On Error Resume Next
Dim VariantIDList As Variant
VariantIDList = IDList
g_NetMonitor.SetServiceAccessSubscription SiteID, VariantIDList
If Err.Number = 0 Then
PrintLine ("Service Access subscription successfully set.")
Else
Err.Clear
PrintLine ("Failed to set Service Access subscription.")
End If
End Sub
-----------------------------
Anyone care to give me some ideas of how to subscribe to the COM object updates? 
|
|
|
|
|
Assumming the SetServiceAccessSubscription sub has the same signiture as the INetMonClientObjNotify_OnServiceAccessPerformanceUpdateEventHandler delegate, the code should be more along the lines of:
g.OnServiceAccessPerformanceUpdate += new INetMonClientObjNotify_OnServiceAccessPerformanceUpdateEventHandler(SetServiceAccessSubscription);
Note the change in the ...OnServiceAccessPerformanceUpdateEventHandler parameter from g_OnServiceAccessPerformanceUpdate to SetServiceAccessSubscription.
Hope that helps
"You get that on the big jobs."

Thanks! Great, half way there...
What would the EventHandler sub look like? 
|
|
|
|
|
Don't know but Visual Studio is normally smart enough to autocomplete the statement for you. if you enter
g.OnServiceAccessPerformanceUpdate += Intellisense should automatically display the correct delegate. Hit tab and Intellisense will enter a default name for the subroutine. Hit tab again and a stub with the correct parameters should be created. So normally after you have typed the += symbols, all you need to do is tab, tab.
Hope that makes (intelli) sense
"You get that on the big jobs."

Thanks but that was what I initially did, and that's when I got the code I've quoted in my first message.
Maybe there's some problem with the "Intelli"-part of Intellisense? Or it might be just me, but I never get an Event. It compiles ok, but still "no action" when subscribed, and this COM object does send a lot of updates...
|

|

Are you sure the COM component is calling the event? The two code snippets you provide are different in their approach to subscribing. Perhaps you need to call SetServiceAccessSubscription from C#, instead of just hooking onto the event?
COM interop can be a bit strange to use because many COM components do not quite work how a .Net person expects.

I'm starting to think that myself. Just have to figure out Variants in C#. 
Thanks!

I think you can use object, and then use is or GetType to work out what further to do with it.

So, I am currently writing some software for my job. I am using OLE DB to connect to a Microsoft Office Access 2007 database, where all the data is stored. I have no issues for the most part. However, I have a question concerning null field values when using OleDbDataReader.GetValue/String/Int/DateTime/etc.
Some fields in the database are required. This is no issue because I validate the necessary data in the software before attempting to insert/update records. But what about the fields that are not required by the database? Do I have to use "IsDBNull(ordinal)" for each field before I attempt a GetValue/String/Int/DateTime/etc. Or is there an easier way to go about "looking over" null values?
I have a class, RepairRecord, which stores the information about each record. And as an example, I have a field, Comments, which is not a required field. If I insert a record with no value for Comments all is well. That is, until I attempt to SELECT the record. If I simply use "reader.GetString(11)" and the value is empty I get an InvalidCastException, which I understand. I just need to know if there is a simpler method which I am looking past for dealing with these. The Comments field is not the only field that is optional.
If I am leaving out any important information just let me know.
Tools I am using:
Visual Studio 2010
C# (.NET 4.0)
OLE DB

For one thing, I never use the Getxxx methods -- they're as useless as the Convert class  .
For another, don't use the ordinal values; use the names -- the order of things could change unexpectedly.
And, what do you do when it is null? Apply a default?
You may want something along the lines of:
System.DateTime somedate = System.DateTime.MinDate ;
if ( reader [ "somedate" ] != System.DBNull.Value )
{
somedate = (System.DateTime) reader [ "somedate" ] ;
}
(I don't feel like testing that right now, so I hope it works. Come on, beer, do your stuff!)
P.S. Oh, and I suppose you could write a generic Extension Method to simplify that for you.

Oh, thanks for the timely response. :-P I will give that a try as soon as I get back on the project. I knew I was missing something, I just couldn't figure out what. But I haven't had much experience AT ALL with database-driven application development. So please stick with me, as I am a noob. xD

That made me wonder about a few things, so here are two questions for you:
1.
I understand if your SQL says "SELECT * FROM ..." you will get the fields either in their table structure order, or in an arbitrary order (which is the same for all practical purposes as someone could change the structure).
However if your SQL says "SELECT A,B,C FROM ...", would reader["A"] and reader[0] not be absolutely equivalent?
2.
If so, it gives another good reason to name the fields explicitly in the SQL statements. And yes, I would still prefer to use the field names as an index, as that improves readability. Would it also negatively affect performance?

I haven't bothered to compare, but I suspect that the overload with the name performs a lookup and then calls the overload with the index -- it would therefore be slower, but easier to read and maintain etc.
P.S. Oh, and don't forget that if you are using stored procedures for your queries , some one may mess with one.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Slower and better looking.

Well, obviously, the best of both worlds would be to set some constants above it all, i.e. A=0, B=1,C=2, so Reader["A"] would be the equivalent of Reader[A], and so on.
Almost time to go home. Silliness abounds.
