C# has nothing to do with it. The program on the other end needs to read HTML mail, and then the images need to be linked to in the email.

How to sort arraylist ?

Hello!
I have a ArrayList, that contains class (for example):

<br />
class A<br />
  {<br />
    int a<br />
    int b<br />
  public A() <br />
  {<br />
    a=0;<br />
    b=0;<br />
  }<br />
  public A(int Na, int Nb)<br />
  {<br />
    a=Na;<br />
    b=Nb;<br />
  }<br />
}

How to sort this elements in the arraylist ? The sorting field is A.

If you're using .NET 2.0, use a List instead and provide a sorting function. I can't recall, but I thought you can do this in 1.1 and 1.0 as well, probably just with lots of casting of objects.

Yup, for sorting operation there must be operators <, >,= defined (or some of them at least), which System.object does not have. Smile | :)

I don't understand this!

Don't you mean you whant to sort your Collection of "A"-class instances, with the value of the "A"-class member "a" (which is an int)?

As others said, if you are using .NET 2.0 use generic collection (List<A>). As for sorting, you probably mean sorting by field int 'a'? As you dont expose anything (a,b is private) you could implement IComparable. Or if you can expose sorting field, custom implementation of IComparer that knows how to sort class A (e.g. A.SortByFieldAComparer). Look up appropriate interfaces in MSDN or google.

Hello,

Just because I'm curious:
Do you know of a equivalent Comparer class to System.Collection.CaseInsensitiveComparer, which comparse int values?
Or is the solution to use "ToString" for comparison.

I'm happy that it's not only me, who thinks that the question is not valid.

Hmm, there is only one way how to compare integers (that makes sense) as far as I know. System.Int32 implements IComparable, so no need for comparer.

Martin#4-Apr-07 22:12

Hello dnh,

2 minutes after I posted this yesterday, I hoped you would ignore it. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

So the .Net 1.1 solution for me would be, use the Sort method of the ArrayList class and give a user specific IComparer instance as parameter.
Userspecific IComparer instance would be something like this:

public class ComparerForIntMemberaInClassA : IComparer  
{
    int System.Collections.IComparer.Compare( object x, object y )
    {
	A firstA = x as A;
	A secondA = y as A;
	return firstA.a.CompareTo(secondA.a);
    }
}

What's your feeling about it?

Thank you for you interest!

All the best,

Martin

DavidNohejl4-Apr-07 23:06

4-Apr-07 23:06

yes, that looks fine. Other solution would be implement IComparable in class A; I don't know the guidelines but to me it feels like for "default" sorting I would implement IComparable in class I want to sort (if it is class I own - if it is e.g .NET framework class then I can't do that) and non standard comparations (e.g case insensitive) would go into custom comparers. If you are sorting by private members, nested class should solve access problem.

How ToExecute DTS using C#.Net Code behind ?[modified]

4-Apr-07 0:35

Hi,

My name is srinivasan and I am new to this DTS concept.
I have to execute the DTS package from the C#.Net Code behind.
I managed to create a small DTS Package in SQL server and execute it from SQL Server Enterprise Manager.
But I can not execute that Package from C#.Net.
Can any one help?

I’ve written a small Class for Executing the DTS but it's not working.

CLASS: Class1
Function: DtsPackage()
---------------------------------------

public void DtsPackage()
{
try
{
Package2Class Package = new Package2Class();
object pVarPersistStgOfHost = null;

Package.LoadFromSQLServer
("<server name>","<user name>","<password>",DTSSQLServerStorageFlags.DTSSQLStgFlag_UseTrustedConnection,"","","","Test Package",ref pVarPersistStgOfHost);

Package.Execute();
Package.UnInitialize();

System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(Package);
Package = null;
}

--------------------------------------------------
And when I execute this I am getting an error.
__________________________________________________________________
ERROR: Sniff | :^)

Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a    trusted SQL Server connection.

__________________________________________________________________

What could be the reason?
The 'server name', 'user name' and the 'password' was also correct.

Server name is SQL Server's Name.
User Name is SQL Server's User Name.
Password is SQL Server's Password.

Thank you in advance,
Seenu.

Sir/Madam,
Can somebody please provide the help with the help of an easy example how to differentiate between
Protected
Internal
Internal protected

Please help.
Thanks and regards
Pankaj Garg

Re: problem.

Christian Graus4-Apr-07 0:38

Difference between protected and internal protected

4-Apr-07 0:38

Protected means that only derived classes can see it
internal means that only classes inside the current assembly can see it.
Protected Internal would mean that only derived classes within this assembly can see it.

'Problem' is not a very useful header.

Sir,
Sorry for the irrelevant header.
Next time i will take care for it.
Can u please explain with example the difference b/w internal and internal protected.
Thanks and regards

internal:

Access is limited to the current assembly.

protected internal:

Access is limited to the current assembly or types derived from the containing class.

Hi,
Here an example.
U have 2 dlls : DLL1 and DLL2.
In DLL1 u have a class Employee with a method Fire()
In DLL2 u have a class Boss.

1- if u declare the Fire method as protected, in the boss class u can invoke the Fire method and U cannot invoke the fire method anywhere else the Boss class
2- if u declare it as Internal : u can invoke the fire method anywhere in DLL1 but not in DLL2. U cannot also view the method in the Boss class (because it's in the DLL2)
3- If u declare it as Internal protected, u can only invoke the method from a class inheriting from Employee located in the DLL1.

HTH.

Hi all,
I am trying to add .dll file as a reference in my C#.NET application but i am getting error i.e.
A reference to 'C:\STAF\bin\STAF.dll could not be added. Please make sure that the file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component.
Is there any other way out to add dll into C# or no. Because what i am doing is
Project->Add Reference->Browse->*.dll
Thanks
