You have not explained your problem. And you still haven't.

Here's the part you may not be getting. If AudiA8 is a Car (i.e. it inherits from Car, or implements ICar), then you can pass it to a method taking a car. That is, you can do

MyClass.SomeMethod(new AudiA8(), new ZXR());

... given

class AudiA8 : Car {
 ...
}

class ZXR : Moto {
 ...
}

and

class MyClass {
 static void SomeMethod(Car car, Moto moto){ ... }
}

You don't need any runtime shenanigans with MyClass to make that work. You can still do this even if you're creating the cars/motos at runtime:

Car CreateCar(string classname){
 return (Car)Activator.CreateInstance(classname);
}

Moto CreateMoto(string classname){
 return (Moto)Activator.CreateInstance(classname);
}

void DoSomething(){
 MyClass.SomeMethod(
    CreateCar("YourNamespace.Cars.AudiA8"), 
    CreateMoto("YourNamespace.Motos.ZXR")
 );
}

MyClass.SomeMethod(new AudiA8(), new ZXR());

... given

class AudiA8 : Car {
 ...
}
 
class ZXR : Moto {
 ...
}

yes but from excel i have a string "AudiA8" and not new AudiA8()

myClass<car, mot>

...generic need car as a type but not as string, but I have only string as input

Did you bother reading my previous post all the way to the bottom where it shows you how to instantiate a type from a string?

PozzaVecia15-Feb-12 2:30

Yes sorry, I'm not able to fit the solution in my case

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace TestGeneric
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            //Input are string they comes from excel! I can customize the string but is a string
            string myCar = "carA";
            string myMoto = "motoB";

            //here the problem:

            // i SHOULD INIZIALIZE mPricer using string "carA" and "carB". 
            // I need to obtain an istance of mPricer<carA,motoB>  starting from strings

            mPricer< (car) Activator.CreateInstance(myCar), (moto) Activator.CreateInstance(myMoto)> Pr = new  mPricer< (car) Activator.CreateInstance(myCar), (moto) Activator.CreateInstance(myMoto)>();
           
        }
    }

    //dummy class for example.. It is only example to show it must have two generics
    public class mPricer<T, G> 
        where T:car, new()
        where G : moto, new()
    {
        double total;
        public mPricer()
        {
            T c = new T();
            G m = new G();
            total = c.GetPrice() + m.GetCost();        
        }

        public void ShowTotal() 
        {
            Console.WriteLine(total);
        }
    }

    public abstract class car { abstract public double GetPrice();}
    public class carA : car { public override double GetPrice() { return 11; } }
    public class carB : car { public override double GetPrice() { return 12; } }

    public abstract class moto { abstract public double GetCost(); }
    public class motoA : moto { public override double GetCost() { return 7; } }
    public class motoB : moto { public override double GetCost() { return 6; } }


}

There is no reason why mPricer should construct these objects within its own constructor. Construct them outside and pass them in, statically typed as car and moto, as in my example.

// I need to obtain an istance of mPricer<carA,motoB> starting from strings

No, no you do not, and until you understand this you're going to keep tying yourself in knots. You need to obtain an instance of mPricer the car and moto instances of which are instantiated from strings. I already demonstrated how to do this.

You seem to show a fundamental lack of understanding of the difference between types and instances, and frankly until you get a grip on that you shouldn't be dabbling with this sort of runtime creation.

}

That, i think, should do it ... you don't need a generic class

    {

            string myMoto = "motoB";

            Car c = (car) Activator.CreateInstance(myCar);
            Moto m = (moto) Activator.CreateInstance(myMoto);
 
            mPricer Pr = new  mPricer(c,m);
           
        }
    }
 
    public class mPricer 
    {
        double total;
        public mPricer(Car c, Moto m)
        {
            total = c.GetPrice() + m.GetCost();        
        }
 
        public void ShowTotal() 
        {
            Console.WriteLine(total);
        }
    }
 
    public abstract class car { abstract public double GetPrice();}
    public class carA : car { public override double GetPrice() { return 11; } }
    public class carB : car { public override double GetPrice() { return 12; } }
 
    public abstract class moto { abstract public double GetCost(); }
    public class motoA : moto { public override double GetCost() { return 7; } }
    public class motoB : moto { public override double GetCost() { return 6; } }
 
 
}

it helps to think about the interface exposed by a type ... regardless of which runtime car class you have you always want to call GetPrice ... we require that all car classes expose a getPrice method so this is either declared on the base class or interface. since this base class contains all the common functionality required it is sufficient for use throughout mPricer

generics would only be required if you wanted to expose the car/moto instances and didn't want to require a cast to their runtime types but, in an interface driven design you should probably ask yourself WHY you need the runtime type

Oky thanks a lot.
The problem is that mPrice is a hudge class and I can not change it.

public class mPricer<T, G>

Contrains are:
input as string
ublic class mPricer<t, g="">

So I think is not possible to solve my problem without changing the class

GParkings15-Feb-12 3:25

15-Feb-12 3:25

aye, if you cant modify mPricer you are in the unfortunate situation of being stuck with someone elses shoddy design ... we've all been there and you have my sympathy.

BobJanova15-Feb-12 3:40

15-Feb-12 3:40

Well, if the class is broken and you can't change it, then you're pretty screwed. You should have mentioned this in the original question :P.

How much can you 'not change it'? Is this because you don't have the source, or because someone has told you you can't? If the latter, ignore them and don't tell them, and make the trivial change to call a factory instead of using new() directly.

PozzaVecia15-Feb-12 10:17

15-Feb-12 10:17

Are you sure you can compile it?
Activator.CreateIstance() doesn't accept string

BobJanova15-Feb-12 21:57

15-Feb-12 21:57

You might be right there, answering from memory doesn't always work.

Try

Type carType = Type.GetType("MyNamespace.Cars.Car");
Car car = (Car)Activator.CreateInstance(carType);

GParkings15-Feb-12 22:54

15-Feb-12 22:54

TBH, i just copied those lines from the OPs example without thinking, however there is an overload for createInstance that takes assembly name and type name as strings.. so i minor tweak Wink | ;)

Hi all:

I installed TFS 2010 with minimum requirement by using advanced wizard. So the TFS server has only IIS, and MS SQL databases without reporting services, and SharePoint server. I installed it with success. I tried to create an team project using MS Studio 2010 without success. Then I installed team explorer from the same disk as TFS server, and tried to create it, also without success.

When I create a team project, I have to pick a template. I tried agile ... or cmmi ... for template from pick up list, both without success. I searcedh on the internet for quite sometime, I did not found anything that helps. And I guess it may be caused by the lack of these supporting appliances such as report services from SQl and Sharepoint server. I've been a programmer for last 20 years. I really could not figure out where to fix it.

The error is the following from the log.
Please help me since I've stuck here for awhile. I thank you in advanced

All,

This is a strange problem, I tried to find answer without success. The file I am tring to transmit is an xslx file.

I have the following piece of code that works fine when our employees/clients access our website from outside our network.

Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.Default;
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + newFile.Name.Replace(" ","_"));
Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", new System.IO.FileInfo(newFile.FullName).Length.ToString()); 
Response.TransmitFile(newFile.FullName);
HttpContext.Current.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest();

But when someone within our local network/office accesses this website I get the following error, "Unable to download xxxx from xxxx.com. Unable to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. please try again later."

I tried different approaches like adding Response.Flush() and Response.End() etc., nothing worked so far, I appreciate any help with this.
This only happens with IE, works fine in Chrome and Firefox, if this helps.

Hi,

I try to use SMO for backup from my network server. But it's giving error like "Backup Failed for server "1.1.1.10"...

Anybody can point me that where I have a mistake...from the below code...?

Thanks Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

<pre>ServerConnection Conn1 = new ServerConnection("1.1.1.10", "admin", "xxxxxxxxxx");
Backup Mybackup = new Backup();
Server srv = new Server(Conn1);
srv.ConnectionContext.LoginSecure = false;
srv.ConnectionContext.Login = "admin";
srv.ConnectionContext.Password = "xxxxxxxxxx";
srv.ConnectionContext.Connect();
Mybackup.Action = BackupActionType.Database;
Mybackup.Database = "Invoice_Master";
Mybackup.Devices.Add(new BackupDeviceItem("C:\\Temp\\CHECK\\MyInvoices.bak", DeviceType.File));

Does Sql Server have write-rights on that specific path? In other words, can you backup to there using the Management Studio?

InfoPath 2010 with C# code entered data disappearing

Member 864367514-Feb-12 4:15

Member 8643675

14-Feb-12 4:15

Hi, I am new to InfoPath, and I am having an issue with a web-based form. I have a Rich Text Box that is in a repeating section that is
bound to an XHTML field. This is not in the main/default view, and the user can submit the form from the main/default view and from the
sub-view with this control in it. When the user adds more than one of these Rich Text Boxes to the form, the data that has been entered into
the field isn't always saved. I have, however, never seen the first time not be saved.

Scenario 1:
user enters text into the Rich Text Box. Then clicks the submit button. The text in the first Rich Text Box keeps the user entered text as
expected. The user then adds another field, enters text, and clicks submit. The form then saves, however, the newly entered text in the
Rich Text Box sometimes changes to "", and sometimes the text in the Rich Text Box stays as the newly entered text as expected

Scenario 2:
After clicking submit and the data stays as expected, the user then wants to change the value that is in the Rich Text Box. The user enters
new data in the Rich Text Box and presses submit. The form then saves, however, sometimes the text in the Rich Text Box changes back to
the data that was there previous to the user's changes, and sometimes the text stays as the newly entered text as expected.

This seems to be a random error. It sometimes happens on the second entered Rich Text Box and sometimes doesn't happen until the
4th or 5th. This error doesn't happen when debugging the form in infopath. The C# code I am using to debug this issue is on the submit
button clicked event.

XPathNavigator domNav = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator();
                XPathNodeIterator rows = domNav.Select
("/my:myTipLead/fxintakerequest:IntakeRequest/fusionx:AnalystNotes/fusionx:AnalystNote/fusionx:NoteText"
, NamespaceManager);
                while (rows.MoveNext())
                {
                    EventLog.WriteEntry(ERROR_SOURCE, "node value = " + rows.Current.Value);
                }

The event log show all of the times it acted as expected. When it fails to save the text entered, the event log has all of the previously entered Rich Text Box data and the newly entered Rich Text Box entry says "not value = ". I'm assuming that the text is never getting into the field. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!!

P.S. I know this isn't exactly a C# issue. I posted it in the SharePoint forums becuase we are using SharePoint to host our forms, and I was told that this was not a SharePoint issue. I'm not exactly sure where to post this question

Subscribe to the text changed event of the text box. Filter your list of potential suggestions using the current Text property. Display a listbox filled with the suggestions below the text box. In the double click event of the list box, get the currently selected item, transfer that to the text box, and close (hide) the list box.
