:(sigh:Hi Everyone,
Okay in the past two weeks I have learnt so much and I'm starting to work things out on my own. However even this one is tricky for me.
I am trying to automatically check checkedlistboxes based on data in the database.
I know I have to compare the dataset tableadapter to items in the ckedlistbox and then tick them if they match the ID. But how? I have created a join table aswell with EmpID and TechSkillsID so that people can tick multiple skills and they will be saved in there. Even though it isn't working yet. and yes the foreign keys are set up correctly. My code doesn't tick anything.
This is my code.
[code]
sql = "Select t.ProgLanguagesDatabase,e.EmployeeID,e.TechnicalSkillsID from TechnicalSkills t, employees e where t.TechnicalSkillsID = e.TechnicalSkillsID and e.EmployeeID = '" + FirstnameText.Text.ToString() + "'";
for (int i = 0; i < techSkillsCheckListBox2.Items.Count; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < this.dataSet1.TechnicalSkills.Count;j++)
{
if (i == j)
{
techSkillsCheckListBox2.SetItemChecked(i, true);
}
}
Thank you so much

I think your logic is wrong. All you are doing is comparing two numbers - the index of the item in the collection. Imagine techSkillsCheckListBox2.Items has 4 items and this.dataSet1.TechnicalSkills has 5 items. Your loop will look like
<br />
0 = 0 : true<br />
0 = 1 : false<br />
0 = 2 : false<br />
0 = 3 : false<br />
0 = 4 : false<br />
<br />
1 = 0 : false<br />
1 = 1 : true<br />
1 = 2 : false<br />
1 = 3 : false<br />
1 = 4 : false<br />
<br />
<br />
2 = 0 : false<br />
2 = 1 : false<br />
2 = 2 : true<br />
2 = 3 : false<br />
2 = 4 : false<br />
<br />
and so on , which is not what you want. You need to iterate through the dateset, retrieve the identifier of the skill, which should match an identifier on the check box, and then set the check box.
Step through with a debugger and you will see what's happening.

Thanks. so I've heard. Just ignore i==j.I've tried everything and I know what the debugger is showing me but I would love to know exactly how to iterate through the dataset and compare the items in teh table to the items in my checkedlistbox. If the items are matching based on the techskillsID then I have to have them ticked. I have retrieved the ID by using
sql = "Select t.ProgLanguagesDatabase,e.EmployeeID,e.TechnicalSkillsID from TechnicalSkills t, employees e where t.TechnicalSkillsID = e.TechnicalSkillsID and e.EmployeeID = '" + FirstnameText.Text.ToString() + "'";
Can you suggest how I can create the if statement. I know we are supposed to be taught the logic and we find the answer ourselves, but I think I understand the logic but can't find the answer anywhere.Its the fact that I have a checkedlistbox, and a sql database and table adapters. its hard to find the exact answer when you have so many topics involved.
Thanks. Much appreciated.

I am assuming (hoping) that you create your CheckBoxList dynamically, and read the possible options from the db. When you do, you add the checks as ListItems. Something like
<br />
while (myreader.Read())<br />
{<br />
ListItem myCheckBoxItem = new ListItem( myreader["DESCRIPTION"].ToString() , myreader["ID"].ToString() );<br />
myCheckBoxList.Items.Add( myCheckBoxItem );<br />
}<br />
To select the relevant ones, read all the skills for a user from the database
<br />
sqlstring = "select skillID from userSkills where userID = 'myuser'";<br />
<br />
DataRow[] rows = dt.Select();<br />
foreach(DataRow row in rows)<br />
{<br />
string techID = row["skillID"].ToString();<br />
myCheckBoxList.Items.FindByValue( techID ).Selected = true;<br />
}<br />
And that's it. Please excuse typos etc as I can't get to a dev box to test this.

Thankyou. that was an excellent answer. I am trying it, how ever...will that work with a winform not a webform? In order to use Listitem I had to add the web reference system.web.ui.webcontrols and that causes 1137 errors.
Hmmmmmm Is there someway of reading the dataset with out listitems?
Thank you

I am not reading the dataset with ListItems. I am reading the dataset with reader.Read() and then populating the checkboxlist with ListItems.
How did you create your checkboxlist? have you hardcoded all the entries in Visual Studio or do you create it dynamically?

I tried to copy your code but it won't let me use listitems at all because it belongs to webforms. I have used tableadapters and have used Technicalskills list to bind as below. Sorry I'm a little confused. 
private void TechnicalSkillsList()<br />
{<br />
<br />
DataSet1TableAdapters.TechnicalSkillsTableAdapter technicalskillsTableAdapter = new ResourceSearchTool.DataSet1TableAdapters.TechnicalSkillsTableAdapter();<br />
<br />
DataSet1.TechnicalSkillsDataTable techSkillsDT = technicalskillsTableAdapter.GetData();<br />
<br />
foreach (DataSet1.TechnicalSkillsRow techSkillsRow in techSkillsDT.Rows)<br />
this.techSkillsCheckListBox2.Items.Add(techSkillsRow.ProgLanguagesDatabase);<br />
<br />
}<br />

I have worked out on my own how to save multiple skills. so now its down to automatically populating the checkedlistbox with the skills.
which still brings me back to my precious forum post,,,but I'm still working on it and i'm giving you a 5 for being such a good response anyway.

Okay I was wrong. I didn't work it out. I'm still trying to save multiple skills and I thought it was saving them but it was actually saving the number of the index instead of the ID. Here is what I'm using. I still need the answer of how to get the id of the ticked items and then store it.
<br />
string sql = "SELECT t.TechnicalSkillsID from TechnicalSkills where TechnicalSkillsID = '" + techSkillsCheckListBox2.CheckedItems.ToString() + "'";<br />
if (techSkillsCheckListBox2.CheckedItems.Count != 0)<br />
{<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
for (int x = 0; x <= techSkillsCheckListBox2.CheckedItems.Count -1; x++)<br />
foreach (int i in techSkillsCheckListBox2.CheckedIndices)<br />
{<br />
<br />
sql = "Insert into EmpSkills(EmployeeID,TechnicalSkillsID) values ('" + this.EmployeeID + "','" + techSkillsCheckListBox2.CheckedIndices[x].ToString() + "')";<br />
<br />
SqlCommand adoCmd = new SqlCommand(sql, adoConn);<br />
adoCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you so much ...this is killing me! I thought I had it.

how to connect xml file to form in windows applications and even to connect two forms in windows applications

could you elaborate the question a bit more what u mean by connect xml to form in window application? As far as connecting 2 forms is concerned, u can create an object instance of form1 in form2 and call the show method to display the form, and if u want to send data across forms then better use overloaded constructors and pass data in constructors between forms.
Regards

You need to think about what you are trying to achieve with the connection of 2 forms. If they are just different views of the same underlying data, then you should really consider looking at either the Model View Controller or Model View Presenter patterns. There are plenty of samples on the web (especially here in CP) that show how to achieve this.
XML file? Do you mean to ask how to load it, or how to bind it to an item?

Hi,
I have some blinking cursor in my RichText and in some other places in my WinForm.
How i remove it ?
Thanks.
|
|
|
|

If you are using Visual Studio there is a cursor property in the properties pane which gives you a list of options. If not there is a method you can try. If its not the deafult I'm sure the intellisense will give you a good option. Goodluck!
private void UpdateApplication_CursorChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default;
}

Also could you let me know if I was correct?
Thanks

I looking a way to turn off / kill the line cursor that blink on rich text line in case you click on the line with the mouse.
You mean in your replay that the mouse cursor will change to the default shape - and this is not what i mean.

Hi All,

Yes, by using the System.Runtime.InteropServices namespace.

Sure, there are basically two options for this. One is COM, this is only possible if the libraries are implemented as COM type libraries. Another option is DllImport, this is possible with normal C++ libraries.
You can import make a wrapper for a COM library using tlbimp.exe which is available with the .NET SDK.
You can import functions from a standard C++ library in the following manner:
public static class MyFunctionImports {
[DllImport("<dll name="">")]
public static extern void MyMethod(string text);
}
Of course you need to know the exact signature of the methods you need and the types that they need.
I know from experience that device libraries are almost always standard C++ libraries. So the second option fits best here.

This link details the file format and there are thousands of google hits for reading files in C#. Just put the two together.
