Do your "special forms" use a different namespace? What about

"Tiers" are not a procedural thing. It's a way of thinking. It's organizing your code for seperation of concerns based on the requirements and design of your application. You cannot learn this by looking at someone elses project.

Execute below sql query agianest your database. It will retrieve all the tables availabale in the database you are using.

SELECT DISTINCT TABLE_NAME FROM information_schema.tables order by TABLE_NAME

Bind the resulted tabel to List box item

ListItem listImet;
lst.Items.Clear();
for (int i = 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i++)
{
string Text = dt.Rows[i]["TABLE_NAME"].ToString();
listImet = new ListItem(Text);
lst.Items.Add(listImet);
}

Can an Attribute class find out, to which class it is actually attached?

Background:
To implement localization I have derived from DisplayNameAttribute: LocalDisplayNameAttribute. When using this attribute, I only want to declare the ResourceString an a default string. The class LocalDisplayNameAttribute should find out on it's own, which class and which assembly is using it.

My idea is, to find the strings in related resources by reflection. The strings should allways be in AssemblyName.Properties.Resources.

Is it possible for a attribute class, to find out, who it is used by?

Example:

Assembly LocalizationTools.dll

namespace LocalizationTools
{
    public class LocalDisplayNameAttribute : DisplayNameAttribute
    {
        public LocalDisplayNameAttribute(string resourceName, string defaultText)
            : base(defaultText)
        {
            m_resourceName = resourceName;
        }
        
        public override string DisplayName
        {
            get
            {
                string name = string.Empty;
                try
                {
                    name = SomeVodoo(base.DisplayNameValue);
                }
                catch (Exception)
                {
                    name = base.DisplayNameValue;
                }
                return name;
            }
        }
        
        private string SomeVodoo(string defaultText)
        {
            // Find out to which class an assembly we belong. Then Find the Properties.Resources of the assembly
            // and find the m_resourceName
        }    
    }
}

Assembly SomeClasses.dll

public class Foo
{
    [LocalizationTools.LocalDisplayName("DisplayName_ImportantProperty", "Important property XYZ")]
    public int ImportantProperty { get; set; }
}

And in SomeClasses.Properties.Resources you can find DisplayName_ImportantProperty

PS: I have a IMO less elegant solution by declaring the type.

[LocalizationTools.LocalDisplayName(typeof(SomeClasses.Properties.Resources), "DisplayName_ImportantProperty", "Important property XYZ")]
    public int ImportantProperty { get; set; }
}

Thanks in advance

You don't. An atribute should NOT EVER modify its behavior based on the class name it's attached to. The reason is that now your attribute functionality is directly tied to the classes it's looking for. That's bad!

If you need to modify the behavior of the attribute, then you need two or more attributes, one for each behavior.

Hi Dave,

thanks for your answer.

Well, I did not want to change the behaviour of the attribute. It still should show the DisplayName, Description, Category etc. I only wanted to make it a bit more "smart" regarding localization.

I was just curious, if it is possibly for an attribute to figure out to which class it is attached.

It's ok for me, since I have a solution, inspired by different approaches which can be found here at CP and out in the web.

I'm fairly sure you can't do this without using a typeof(...) to pass it to the attribute's constructor.

Returning Object From HashTable

Hello. I am using a hastable to store and retrieve class objects. Now I can successfully get an object based on some key but the problem is: I can not return it from within the function. Here is what I am trying

public ClassName FindObject(int nKey)
{
  ClassName obj = new ClassName();
  obj = (ClassName)HashTable[nKey];
  return obj;
}

Now the line (ClassName)HashTable[nKey] is successful to find the required object but obj is still equal to null. Thanks for any input on this.

This world is going to explode due to international politics, SOON.

Can you post the code using the function FndObject?
The code you posted above doesnt seem to have any problems.

Why are you creating a new ClassName instance when the variable obj id immediately overwritten in then next statement?
The next thing you don't understand is that trying to retreive a an object via a key from a Hashtablehttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.collections.hashtable.item(v=vs.80).aspx[^] will return null when there is nothing stored under that key:

MSDN wrote:
The value associated with the specified key. If the specified key is not found, attempting to get it returns a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), and attempting to set it creates a new element using the specified key.

So what happens here is that whatever you passed into FindObject as a key has no instance of type ClassName associated with it.

Furthermore, the element at nKey may not be of type ClassName or a derived class - then the cast to ClassName will change it to null.
