I think that if I were to switch to PHP I'd have difficulties to begin with, but that would mostly be down to not knowing the proper keywords to stick in a search engine. When I'm looking for something I ususally get what I want on the first page of hits.

If you listen to podcasts, and if you don't they are an excellent way to learn while driving, you could get hold of DotNetRocks[^], they've also started webcasts which are also really useful dnrTV[^]. Their plan is to put the podcast out early in the week (so you get the high level overview) then have the same guest come back and drill down deeper in the webcast while showing actual code.

Re: Edit feature (Cut, Copy, Paste)

Hi Colin,
Would you please help me with a clue about adding EDIT feature (CUT + COPY + PASTE + SELECT ALL + UNDO) to all editable controls in Windows form. This features should be available from Right Click Mouse Menu, CTRL+C, ...etc, and Edit Menu. I have 20 controls in my form and its reallt getting hard to write code for every control. I thought there must be some way available for this purpose as every programmer needs to implement this feature. I was thinking about a way like this,

Cut Event Handler()
{
// get the control reference who has focus.
// ficusedControl.Cut();
}

But i cant get the clue how can i determine who has focus. If i want to check one by one like
if( control1.focused )
.....
else if (control2.focused)
....
etc...

Then for 20 control, it will be a very clumsy code. moreover, if i get the control name, i am not sure if that control reference will support .CUT() method.

Can you give me any clue please..

Thanks and regards
Emran

You would be best posting a new topic so that everyone sees it. That way you are more likely to get a response from someone.

You might like to look at the MEMENTO pattern. It is a design pattern that helps to hold state so that it can be used elsewhere. Typically it is found in Undo/Redo code, but I think it would lend itself quite well to cut/copy/paste operations also.

I'm not an expert on WinForms applications, but if that is the only way to find the control with focus then that's what you have to do.

If you have your own control classes then you might want to consider implementing an interface for the cut/copy/paste operations and having the control also inherit from the interface. Then in your loop you can easily find if the control supports cut/copy/paste as you can check for the interface. e.g.

if (theControl is ICutCopyPaste) {}

Where ICutCopyPaste is the name of the interface that you might create.

How Can they do that who make Screen Controlable NumericUpdowns, Which can be controlled both with or without arrows. LETS take the hour example. U can set the alarm both from arrows at the right hand site, and also from clicking o a simple number. And as far as I saw there is not any other hidden control there.

Simple XML Parsing?

Hi, i'm developing a smartdevice application and i'm trying to read in elements from an XML document that i created? I've looked around and found i'm slightly lost

<client>
<currentclient ID="01">
<clientTeam>Arsenal</clientTeam>
<clientName>Dave Dunn</clientName>
<clientPos>1st</clientPos>
<clientWon>0</clientWon>
<clientLost>0</clientLost>
<clientDrawn>0</clientDrawn>
</currentclient>
</client>

Is the XML document and currently i want to be to say take the value of clientTeam "Arsenal" and set the text on a label elswhere to the value.

<code>public void UserReader()
{
string Path1 = "/Program%20Files/SmartDeviceApplication4/User.xml";
XmlTextReader Reader = new XmlTextReader (Path1);

while (Reader.Read())
{
if (Reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element)
{

if (Reader.LocalName.Equals("clientTeam"))
{
this.TeamTitle.Text = Reader.Value;
}

if (Reader.LocalName.Equals("clientName"))
{
this.ManagerName.Text = Reader.Value;

}
}</code>

Is what i had, but i really dont think its what i'm looking for - it compiles but the label values dont change. Cry | :((

Hi davedunn,

Try giving

this.TeamTitle.Text = Reader.ReadInnerXml();

insteadoff

this.TeamTitle.Text = Reader.Value;

Guess this will help you.

Thanks and Regards

DataBinding 2 tables

Hi.

I'm having a little trouble getting this thing to work.

I have two tables Houses and People

Every "Person" belongs to a House, but only one per house is the "OwnerOfHouse".
So I made a colum named "HouseOwner" in the "House" table, which has the PersonID. And every person has a "HouseID_FK" which tells them to which house they belog.

SO here is the thing. I'm working with ADO.NET 2.0, and using BindingSource. So I have a BindingSource that has my Houses in a nice DataGridView, and when I click on any of them, I have another DataGridView which displays the people that live there.
That works Fine.

Now, when I chose one of the inhabitants, and press a button, His ID is updated on the Houses table, and I have a reference that tells me he is the Owner. So far so good.

What I want to do is that when I choose a House in my first DataGridView, The Owner is selected automaticlly in the People DataGridView. So far I've tried everything I could thinf of, but it allways selects the first element (the first person on the list).

Thanks in advance.

Once again, the only practical option you have is to rewrite the application from scratch. There are no steps to go through to convert the code! You have to write your own steps based on your own VB6 code!

Specifying range to the property in PropertyGrid

I'm currently developing some kind of editor by using the PropertyGrid. I saw in VS.Net that the property in PropertyGrid can be validated in range, I want to add that feature in my application also, but I don't know how.

Does anyone know anything about this ? Do it need to create new TypeConvertor ? Or just specify the attribute to that property ?

Hi

ProperyGrid control displays the properties collection for an object. For
each property in the propertygrid, its value can only be displayed in
string representation.

For a property that is build-in type, .Net has provided the
validation, while for custom type, we should implement the TypeConverter to
do the type convertion and validation.

Thanks and Regards

I would like to ask one more question.

What is displayed in the PropertyGrid Cells anyway, is it just take string from ToString() method, or using some mechanism to create the panel and display it there, etc ? And how can I customize the way it display property in the PropertyGrid.

Well, I means, what is espect to return from TypeConverter to use in PropertyGrid ?

I think it uses the output from TypeConverter.ConvertToString(). There are some other options in the TypeConverter class that can help you 'change' it a little.

That is not possible I think. You can convert from VB6 to VB.Net but even then you have to do some things manually.

The best solution is a complete rewrite, by hand, from scratch.

You COULD convert the app using the Conversion Wizard with VB6, then convert that code to C#. Chances are, you'll have to tweak a bunch of stuff by hand to get it to work in VB.NET, then you'll have to do a bunch of other things to get it to work in C#.

Use the upgrade wizard to convert to VB.NET. It's not perfect, but it can be done.

Once your code is in VB.NET you can easily convert to C# using either ours (Instant C#) or any other decent VB.NET to C# converter. There will be some manual adjustments, but nothing you can't handle (we offer support to help out with this also).

Why would you want such a messagebox? WTF | :WTF:

It's not good UI design.

If you *really* think you want something like that, you can create a new form with no Ok or Cancel buttons and display your message there instead.
