I'm trying to develop an application wherein I have an XML file. The contents of this XML file should be dynamically converted into a C# class(with properties). I learnt when the contents of a C# file ie properties are given to Microsoft property grid in .NET, all the fields in the grid are populated with the C# class properties. Could the classes that you have mentioned be of any use to my application. I was exploring the idea of developing a wizard in VC8 that should address this situation. I have many xml files and the point here is that I want a generic application to do this job.
The whole idea behind the above design is to show xml data to the user and when the user edits the data from the grid the xml file gets updated. Any comments are highly appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply, but if I have to develop something like a wizard in VC2005, then what changes do I ought to do. basically the thing is that we do have a whole lot of ini files aand at any moment we can have a situation to change an ini file. This neccesitates generation of a tool whcih is genric enough to handle the operatio. Each ini file is unique and is supposed to have a unique C# class for it. The wizard whould be capable enough to convert the XML data to C# file. The above discussion is based on the fact that I have a way to convert ini file to XMl or is there any better way lets say directly pass the ini field to the wizard.

As far as I know property grid does not take C# file. It takes object of a class and populates itself with the properties of the object.
Since you have XMLs ready, serialization wont help you in easy way.
You would need to follw these steps..
- Design a serializable class with the same structure as your XML file.
- Parse XML for the first time to populate an object of that class.
- pass that object to the PropertyGrid
- Serialize the object to an XML file when user wants to save it.
- Use this XML file in the future not the original one. Which would make you enable to directly deserialize the file into an object instead of parsing it.
This may not be the best possible way but...
Every bit counts

XmlSerializer is the way to go. You can use XSD.exe, which sucks, or something like this[^]

hi
i tried to add items to a listbox from another app (vb6) using sendmessage and LB_ADDSTRING.
the items get added in the c# app, but it seems that its just a visual thing.
listBox1.Items.Count is still 0.
what do i have to do to make the c# app recognize the new items ?
another thing connected with that:
why does the listbox have a classname like "WindowsForms10.LISTBOX.app.0.3b95145" ?
everytime i start the program, the last part ("0.3b95145") changes. why is that ?
this makes it hard to use findwindow to find the controls
thx in advance for any help

Hi,
Try forcing a Refresh() operation on the listbox. It might help
|
|
|
|
|
that didnt help
here my test code:
int LB_ADDSTRING = 0x0180;
int LB_GETCOUNT = 0x018B;
int res = SendMessageString(listBox1.Handle, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, "test");
listBox1.Refresh();
int count = SendMessage(listBox1.Handle, LB_GETCOUNT, 0, 0);
int lcount = listBox1.Items.Count;
results are:
count = 1
lcount = 0
wonder why that is, why does the api say there is 1 item in listbox (which is actually correct), but the listbox itself says 0 items in it.

Probably because the Items collection is implemented entirely in managed code; it has no knowledge of the actual items in the list box; just a count of the items contained in it. If you go behind its back and add a new ListBoxItem to the ListBox, the managed Items collection won't know about it.

Hi,
I have an c#.net windows app that runs on client laptops with a MS Access database sitting on a server. Sometimes the users need to work on the system on the road so I need to create a local copy of the database on theie laptops. Obviously I need to synchronise the databases when they plug back into the server....I guess my question is, does anyone know of a 3rd party product/tool that will handle all this for me (preferably free...or cheap). I could try and write my own code but was hoping to save time by using an existing product....Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Craig

Hi, I have a class running on a secondary thread that listens to an IRC channel (don't worry if you aren't familiar with IRC, all this code is working), and fires an event when it receives a message, passing on this message on.
The problem is that I need the main thread to do all the business once a message is received. Attaching events in the normal manner causes the code fired by the event to be run on the secondary thread, which is not good.
So basically; how can I attach an event handler that runs on my main thread to events fired on a secondary thread?
Hope that all makes sense, I have done lots of searching but cannot find what I'm looking for, this is partly because I'm not really sure what I am looking for, as I am totally stuck.
thanks
Martin
