What framework variable do I use to access the path to My Documents?
|
|
|
|
|
My Documents is a "special folder" and is accessed using the Shell. So however the framework exposes the Shell that is how you get the solution.

That is not an answer to my question.

They hide the rest of the information in the Documentation[^]

The Documentation says it works with 1.1 but I'm not seeing the enum SpecialFolder.

Hello
Why don't you see it in your intellisense?? It should appear. Try writing without the intellisense. What compile error -if any- appears?
Piece of advice:
Remove you email address to avoid the possibility of spamming.

I have a class
public class myclass : BindingList<T> {}
I have created(shadowed) the GetEnumerator method to provide some custom sorting and what not.
But the problem is the type can be Category, Topic, or Entry.
And I need to test each one because each has its own sorting strategy.
I tried if( typeof(T) is Category) but that doesn't work.
What is the easiest way to determine the type T is?
--------------------------------------------------------
1 line of code equals many bugs. So don't write any!!

typeof(T) will always return a type of T, and T is really a type identifier. What you may try is this:
public void Sort(T item)
{
if ( item is Category )...
if ( item is Volume ) ...
}
|
|
|
|
|
lol. its a GetEnumerator(). Theres no definition like that.
<br />
Type t = typeof(T);<br />
<br />
if( t.Equals(Category) )<br />
<br />
I figured it out just a second ago
Thanks tho

Hi,
In my Win form, I have a variable name string myVar.
Ok, now I want to bind this varibale to a binding source same like a control's certain property is bound to a member of a data binding source.
Right now, In order to do this, I placed a hidden text box bound to a data binding source (text property) and created an event handler for TEXT CHANGED event and on text change, I update the value of the variable with the content of that hidden text box.
Now, How can I avoid this hidden text box and directly bind the variable with a certain member of a data binding source.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

You can do the same thing by creating a datatable, add a column named something with a typeof(string) and your data becomes bound to a "datasource".
For example: I'm adding a datasource for my checkboxes so that sorts keep the state of the checkbox.
....
batchSelectColumn = new DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn();
batchSelectColumn.Width = 30;
batchSelectColumn.DisplayIndex = 0;
batchSelectColumn.Name = "BatchSelectColumn";
batchSelectColumn.ThreeState = false;
batchSelectColumn.DataPropertyName = "SelectColumn";
batchSelectColumn.HeaderText = string.Empty;
viewer.BatchGrid.Columns.Add( batchSelectColumn );
DataTable BATCHHEADER = new DataTable();
BATCHHEADER.Columns.Add( "SelectColumn", typeof(bool) );

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
As I always make same table columns in dataset as available in real SQL database. Because, I did not learn if I have extra column in my dataset which is really not in SQL, then How can I reflect the changes of that DataTable to the original SQL database.
Now, would you please help me to with an idea, how can I access the bounded column’s value directly from my code ? In order to explain my question, please allow me to give you an example.
In the property editor of a Textbox, there is a property for databinding. In that property editor, I can use visual editor to set the text property of the text box to a bounded data column of the datasource (Selecting a NODE from the DataSource Table – Column Tree).
Now, how can I GET or SET value to that data column directly using variable from programming code ? By doing that, when the binding navigator will be used to navigate data row by row, I will be able to show a calculated value to a control from a particular data column’s value.
Thanks a lot in advance as I asked a long question.

is there a way to cancel a foreach loop before it has iterated through the entire collection, without throwing an exception?
i have a loop that feeds a string to a switch() and i want it to terminate if a certain parameter is fed to it.

when iterating through a collection, there are several ways that you can exit the for loop. Mostly it depends on the logic in your program.
foreach ( Element item in elements )
{
...
if ( item == condition ) break;
}
more logic
foreach ( Element item in elements )
{
...
if ( item == failure ) return;
if ( item == typeof(Bypass) continue;
... more logic ...
if ( item.State == State.NoPostProcessNeeded )
break;
post process logic ...
}
epilogue logic
return;

You mean this[^]

Yes that works but I want to know how to terminate the program by clicking a button without telling the user to press Alt+F4.
Is there anyother solution to closing this app?

I don't see that issue being addressed in the article so... not a known one, no.

Should be quite simple: If you look at the code you'll see that an event handler for Closing is being attached which is calling RegisterBar().
So you simply can add a button that's calling this.Close(); and you should be fine.

Hello
I hope Led gave you a good enough answer. I just wanted to nudge you about the code you posted. Posting a 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 pixels long code will surely discourage anyone from reading it!! Specially if you didn't enclose it with pre tags. You should only post the code that you suspect that is causing the problem. To get to this use break points, stepwise debugging, tracing, guessing, commenting/decommenting, or any other method that suits you. Just post as little code as you can.
Regards

I'm not saying that you are exaggerating, but at a screen resolution of 100 ppi, that would be almost a quarter of a light year...
