I use something similar to this to assign IDs to clients in my socket library, and in some other projects. Do note though that this isn't thread safe and it's better to use Interlocked.Increment if you want to call the ID generator from different threads.

32/64 bit mismatch!

you have to set the target cpu to x86, then it will work.

if you are running a .net application, build for target "any cpu", the program will start as a 64 bit application - if the machine is running a 64 bit windows.

and if your win32.dll (doesn´t sound like an .net dll) is build for 32 bit (why do i think it is? maybe the 32 in win32.dll?, then it is not possible.

you have to build the .net app explicitly for x86 target. dot.

Hi
I am trying to set the BackColor of a specific cell (C2010 Enterprise), but have failed so far - can you help!

I have tried this:
DataGridView1[2, 3].Style.BackColor = Color.Red;
but that didnt work (doesnt appear to do anything) Cry | :((

Have you any other suggestions?

Cheers

Try setting the DefaultGridViewCellStyle - some code here[^].

How/Where are you determining which cell and trying to set it?

I usually do things like this to highlight a cell containing a value that is out-of-tolerance or such, i.e. like below 75 or whatever.

private void dataGridView1_RowsAdded(object sender, DataGridViewRowsAddedEventArgs e)
{
  DataGridViewRow R = dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex];
  R.Cells[6].Style.BackColor = Color.Red;
}

Or do it like in the MSDN link in the CellFormatting event, which may be better. Smile | :)

Hi,

I am currently doing a project in C#.net. I am using a datagridview for data entry purpose.
The first column is a drop down combox column. After selecting the value from the list, I press Enter key. The cursor is not moving to next cell. It is moving to the next row of the same column. How to make it to move to the next column of the same row. Please help me.

Hello bugindia,

if I understand you hitting enter to move to the next cell in the same row, handle the KeyDown event of your datagrid class SystemKeys and force by moving the cursor to the right and subsequently has an example here.

private void dataGridView1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
    {
        SendKeys.Send("{Right}");
        e.Handled = true;
    }
}

Coding style II - O(n) checks instead O(1) or doubling code? [modified]

What is better:

void AddSharpsAndFlats(StaffVisual staff, Clef clef)
{
    int symbolCount = _context.GetSharpCount();
    if (symbolCount > 0)            
        for (int i = 0; i < symbolCount; i++)
        {
            staff.AddVisual(new SharpVisual
            {
                Position = clef.SharpPostions[(int)MusicContext.SharpOrder[i]]
            });
            staff.AddVisual(PlaceHolderVisual.ThinPlaceholder);
        }            
    else if (symbolCount < 0)            
        for (int i = 0; i < -symbolCount; i++)
        {
            staff.AddVisual(new FlatVisual
            {
                Position = clef.FlatPostions[(int)MusicContext.FlatOrder[i]]
            });
            staff.AddVisual(PlaceHolderVisual.ThinPlaceholder);
        }            
}

OR: move symbolCount < 0 inside a loop (and use abs(symbolCount))? Then I would have a single loop but I would also have n checks. Note: symbolCount is a value in range {-7,...,-1,0,1,...,7}.

EDIT: corrected typo

Thanks and

Your logic doesn't work here. You can't have i starting at zero and then being compared to symbolCount when symbolCount is less than zero. The loop won't run.

As these are mutually exclusive conditions, I think that having them as separate loops is a perfectly valid construct. As soon as you add the abs(symbolCount) condition in there, you are introducing something that requires thinking about by somebody reviewing your code. While this isn't, necessarily, a bad thing, consider that if this is a commercial project, then at some point, Nervous Nigel the spotty apprentice coder is going to try to do something with the code and end up breaking it because he doesn't understand it.

The KISS principal applies.

I dunno. Maybe squeeze the loops into a common method?

if (symbolCount > 0)            
{
    AddSymbols ( SharpFactory , clef.SharpPostions , staff , symbolCount ) ;
}
else if (symbolCount < 0)           
{
    AddSymbols ( FlatFactory , clef.FlatPostions , staff , symbolCount ) ;
}

Just a thought.

Otherwise, leave it the way it is.

The two loops set off my code style alarms. But having reviewed it, and worked out the domain here, it really is two separate operations, and there's not much there that is common enough to pull out. When it comes down to it you're duplicating four lines:

for(int i = 0; i < symbolCount; i++) {
 staff.AddVisual(something);
 staff.AddVisual(PlaceHolderVisual.ThinPlaceholder);
}

So I think I would leave it, but with a note (mental or explicit) to watch this space because if you add more key signature related stuff it could get messy and need refactoring.

Now you could take the duplication out like this:

void AddSharpsAndFlats(StaffVisual staff, Clef clef)
{
  int symbolCount = _context.GetSharpCount();

  if(symbolCount != 0){
    // I guess this is List<Position> or Position[]
    var Positions = symbolCount > 0 ? clef.SharpPositions : clef.FlatPositions;
    var Order = symbol.Count > 0 ? MusicContext.SharpOrder : MusicContext.FlatOrder;
    VisualCreator creator = symbolCount > 0 ? (p => new SharpVisual(p)) : (p => new FlatVisual(p));
    
    symbolCount = symbolCount > 0 ? symbolCount : -symbolCount; // abs for ints
    
    for (int i = 0; i < symbolCount; i++)
    {
      staff.AddVisual(creator( {
        Position = Positions[(int)Order[i]]
      });
      staff.AddVisual(PlaceHolderVisual.ThinPlaceholder);
    }
  }
}

... where

delegate VisualCreator(Position position);

(You could also have a VisualFactory that hides that selection away from you.)

I'm not convinced that for such a small duplication this is worthwhile.

			string     successZero = string.Empty;
			char[] arr;

but if I enter "001" the arr [0]= 48 '0' and NOT '0' only
I don't know it appears to me that 48 (I know it is the ASCII of 0)
but I want to discutate sur arr[0] == '0' or not

I'm not sure what you are trying to do but your code does not seem to correspond to your description. You are looking for a zero in the arry (maybe), or trying to count them, but the line:

if (arr [0] != '0')

means that you never enter the search loop if the first character of your string is '0', as is the case you describe.
