I know this one:

Marshal.GenerateGuidForType

[C#]
public static Guid GenerateGuidForType(
Type type
);

Returns the GUID for the specified type, or generates a GUID using the algorithm used by the Type Library Exporter (TlbExp.exe).

DataList Multiple Selection?

21-Mar-02 11:52

I have created a databinding DataList, and OnSelectedIndexChanged event, I have a SelectedItemTemplate to show additional two lines of details right below the row Selected, which makes it look like expandable/collapsible tree. But I can only expand one row at a time. What I want is to have an ability to expend more rows. ( like treeview control does). Can datalist support multiple selections?
If someone is interested in this question, give me an email, I will send you an image of what I have now.

ListBox Multiple Selection

21-Mar-02 10:53

The ListBox gets populated by SQL server database (databinding), I need to support multiple selection so that I can retrieve all the selected values in the ListBox and send them back to database as sql statement and then get the result back to show in the web page.

My question is: How can I construct the sql statement with parameter (array) that reflect those selections in ListBox? e.g. In sql statement " Where id=@id" works for single parameter, if id is type of int, @id is also type of int. Now I have an id array holding the selected id from ListBox. What will be the array type. How can I construct sql ?

You'll have to create an "or" separated parameter list for the Where

Taking your example:

"... Where id=1 or id=2 or id=3 "

So, I would say a for statement iterating through the array, getting each value and adding "or id=" + value

Something along theselines..
I'm not sure if this is clear enough, if you have any questions about it, i'll try to clarify.

Andres should work but you can shorten it down by using the "IN" keyword.

WHERE id IN ( @id1, @id2, @id3, ... ) I'm pretty sure you'll have to use dynamic sql generation if you try this in a stored proc though.

A post on the lounge reminded me of something I've been meaning to look up for a while: benchmark tests on .NET.

Does anyone know of any benchmarks available, and, would anyone be interested in porting some standard benchmarks to C#, VB.NET and/or Managed C++?

cheers,

creating a control as a container (like SSTabs)

20-Mar-02 5:32

How does one go about creating a control that acts as a container such as a panel control or the old SSTabs control?

my example is this: im creating a tab control that acts like the SSTabs control of studio 6.0. while in design mode, a user can add tabs with a properties dialog. By clicking the added tabs, one can access a separate container for each tab, allowing the user to create controls that reside in that tab's assigned container.

I'm really stuck on this one and i havent had any luck in the usual search engines (codehound, msdn, etc)

thanks

Using Collections of objects as public properties

20-Mar-02 5:30

Ive got a tab control im building from scratch. the control has a collection(ArrayList) of MyTab objects. How do i expose the collection so that in the properties of the control in design view, a user may add a MyTab object and set its properties?

If i simply expose the collection publicly, the "Collection..." field shows up, but the 'add' button only adds a System.Class. I need the add button to display a MyTab object.

you can see specifically what i want if you create an toolbar object on a form and click 'Buttons' in the properties section. when you add a new button, it shows up on the form and a 'toolbarbutton' object is created with properties you may edit.

do i have to impliment my own collection class?

thanks

Serialization (save and loading)

I created an application that Store an ArrayList (of file and file data) in a File using Serialization with BinaryFormater.

What I want to do it's to load each filepath stored in the file I created with the Serialization and create the path. After the path is created I want to store the data of the equivalent file that is store in the file I created with the Serialization in the new file I created in the loading process.

can you copy this code and try it and you will see what I mean. I want to replace the button3_onclick event where the MEssageBox are with a File Creation and data transfer to the new file created... and I want to create it in ONE file (store the data and the file path in the same file not in two separate files)

Thanks a lot, thanks thanks thanks Smile | :)

I haven't run the code, but why don't you just do something like this ?

Stream s = File.Open("D:\\path.dat",FileMode.Create,FileAccess.ReadWrite);
a.Serialize(s,<<whatever>>);
b.Serialize(s,<<whatever>>);

Wouldn't that work ?.

yes that's work, the first BinFormater (a) will store the path and the second (b) will store the data of each files

I'm ok for the Storing(Save) but my problem is when I want to Deserialize the file to take the data from the (a) to create file and the data from the (b) to store it to the new file I create in (a).

Do you understand what I want to do ?

I know it's not clear but it's the way I want this thing works Smile | :)

Let me see if I understand correctly.

You have two arrays, one contain a list of file names, the other a list of data corresponding to each file.

So, you want to create as many files as the first array contains, and write the data contained in the second array to the corresponding file.

is this correct ?.

this sentence confuses me:

/* copy */
I want to replace the button3_onclick event where the MEssageBox are with a File Creation and data transfer to the new file created... and I want to create it in ONE file (store the data and the file path in the same file not in two separate files)
/* copy */

what do you mean by "(store the data and the file path in the same file not in two separate files)" ?

you almost got it :

I want to create a file(just one file) in with I will store all the file path and each of these file DATA.
this Part i'm ok.

the part I don't know how :

When I load the file i created with all the file path and file data in, I want to retake all the file path one by one and recreate the file corresponding to the file path with his DATA ( it's something like a copy process, but all the file path and data are store in one file and when I load the file I want to replace all the files at their place with their data)

Is it more clearful now ? I hope, because I don't know very well how I can explain this. And I'm french so ... Smile | :)
