They should have added something like this too:
bool MyClass.MyMethod(string hello)<br />
{<br />
return hello == "hello";<br />
}
at namespace level. This would allow u to group methods in logical groups and overcome some difficult design problems.

leppie,

Com to think of it, mate, isn't this one thing that partial classes can be used for?
ie. rather than:
bool MyClass.MyMethod(string hello)
{
return hello == "hello";
}do
public partial class MyClass
{
bool MyMethod(string hello)
{
return hello == "hello";
}
}I'm really not sure I think this is a good idea, but it should be possible if there's an extremely good reason for it.

Good. Maybe that'll discourage you from breaking up classes across multiple files. 
Not that you actually have to type in VS.NET, it'll probably do it all for you.

Why do partial classes make you cringe? I don't use generated code much, or at least not where it should be mixed with handwritten code, but it seems a big win for the majority who like code generating tools like form designers.
*chuckles* As to anonymous methods being dangerous... mmm, but isn't that half the fun?

Yeah, in some respects. I just worry about what some programmers I've had the misfortune to come across could do with such things available to them.
Entire hunks of code in initialization routines, just because they can't be bothered to learn how to write a delegate; and classes broken down into hideous numbers of files so that you can never find anything (imagine a project full of controls where all the rendering is done in one file, all the keypress handling in another file, etc - some developers would actually find that logical).
For anonymous methods, I could at least see a purpose. I couldn't for partial classes but then I very rarely use generated code, so that never crossed my mind. Now I suppose I have to cringe equally at both.

Anonymous classes, cool! I always loved anonymous event handlers in Java.
But they have not fixed that break; stuff in the switch blocks. Fall-through or not, there's no reason for typing the same word under every case block.

Ah but that would surely be a breaking change - think of all the sad programmers.

I am currently (again) updating a database application that I wrote last summer. I need to add a new feature....
This brought one big question to me: Is there now way of making my database loading smarter??? Like loading it all once in one place and link all things to that one place??
Well, here it is the question: Anyone having any idea if it is possible to load the database once and use it anywhere in the application? This should reduce the amount of memory needed by the application to run. Since information like "members" and so on will only be in memory in one place instead of the six places at this very moment.
(I ran out of virtual memory, and that's a bad thing  )
Greetings....

The tradeoff really depends on what you're doing. If you're going to be touching all the data often, loading it all in can be good. If you only touch a fraction of the data, then loading it is probably bad.
You may want to look at your database structure to see if you can make it more effective.
|
|
|
|

The data in the database is used very often and is mostly combined in one view.
My idea is to make a class the holds all the methods for editing and viewing the data
in the database. Then I need to make one static instance in the main class of my program, so I can access it from all the other forms and classes.
I use DataAdapters and DataSets to display all the data, I guess there's no other way than loading the whole table that's managed with the dataAdapter.
Maybe someone does have another idea for loading the data?
Greetings....

I've used the approach that you're thinking of with some reasonable success (but remember that I'm a Microsoft PM, and therefore, by definition, never write any *real code). Having it central has made things quite a bit easier, and allowed me to centralize things like caching.
My personal preference is not to use DataAdapters and DataSets when I take this approach, and write routines that look like:
public List<t> GetValues<t> (string selectStatement)
{
OleDbCommand select = new OleDbCommand (selectStatement, connection);
List<t> list = new List<t> ();
OleDbDataReader reader = select.ExecuteReader ();
while (reader.Read ())
{
list.Add ((T)reader[0]);
}
return list;
}
This is a version using Whidbey generics, but you get the idea. For me, this is much simpler to code and understand than using the built-in data support in VS. Of course, I spent 3 years working for a database company (SQL is my friend...), so your mileage may vary.
|
|
|
|
|
That's a good solution for reading only those values you need
I think I'm going to use that one instead of the large amounts of dataAdapters.

If I'm correct, you can try Application.Startup or somethun..

I was wondering if you figured this out as i have the same problem

NOt the exact answer but this return the path of helper assmebly which the think that we want:
this.Context.Parameters["assemblypath"]

There is Timeout WebException occurs at the 'stream.Read' of following codes.
Process hangs after reading a few times.
Why?
(Visual Sudio.net 2003, .Net Framework 1.1, Windows XP Professional sp1)
HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://download.adobe.com/pub
/adobe/acrobatreader/win/5.x/5.1/AcroReader51_KOR.exe");
HttpWebResponse resp = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();
Stream stream = resp.GetResponseStream();
FileStream fs = new FileStream("AcroReader51_KOR.exe", FileMode.Create);
long currSizeForThisFile = 0;
const int LENGTH = 1024;
const int OFFSET = 0;
byte[] buffer = new byte[LENGTH];
while (true)
{
/* Timeout WebException occurs after a few reading */
int rcvd = stream.Read(buffer, OFFSET, LENGTH);
if (rcvd > 0 && !enableExit)
{
fs.Write(buffer, 0, rcvd);
}
else
{
fs.Close();
stream.Close();
resp.Close();
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(50);
break;
}
}

Hello, I posted a similar msg earlier and I am writing a print command in an application. All it does, is to print out a document with some headers and footers. So, I used a simple way to printout headers and footers. However, I still cannot keep track of the page numbers when I print out a document. I looked up the properties of printdocument, pagesetupdialog and printpreviewdialog, but I couldn't find any 'related' property. I also tried to keep track of page numbers in my print function (a loop to Graphics.DataString(...), but failed.
Can anyone please give me some ideas? Thanks so much!!
|

I wrote an app where I could track the page number on a very easy way.
Declare for the full app
private int page = 1;
At the end (last line) of your printDocument_PrintPage class add
++page
in your PaintDocument class just use this.page
The PaintDocument class is called from the printDocument_PrintPage class just to split up the drawing of the page in another class.
|
|

|

Thanks! That page number problem is solved.
I am now trying to get the total number of pages.
|
|
|
|

Oh, I solved the total page number problem too. Great!

I want to set the state of a button. I am trying to make a button appear to be pushed. How do I do that?

I don't think, that there is simple way to do this, but you can use SendMessage API function to send WM_LBUTTONDOWN message to button. It will appear pushed until you send WM_LBUTTONUP message to it (or until user does something with this button). This will also raise OnClick event.
