Thanks again Tom for your help Smile | :)

I used the VS designer to add the strings to the combox box using "collection" under the combo box properties. This is the code it created under the form's designer.

// comboBox1
//
this.comboBox1.FormattingEnabled = true;
this.comboBox1.Items.AddRange(new object[] {
"Intense",
"Santa Cruz"});
this.comboBox1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(12, 25);
this.comboBox1.Name = "comboBox1";
this.comboBox1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(174, 21);
this.comboBox1.TabIndex = 1;
//

I am now trying to work out the code for the load resource file, which is added to the form's code... this is what I am confused with... Confused | :confused:

Again your help is greatly appreciated... Smile | :)

Did you set the parent Form's Localizable property to true? If so, then it should use resources.

Also, I'm assuming you are working with Visual Studio 2005. Is this correct?

Take care,
Tom

Hi Tom

Yes that is correct I am using VS 2005.

We need to adapt the program to load strings for the appropriate culture, but without using the form’s “Localizable” property, which will handle things automatically. I think it is done by using a Resource Manager?

I am having a few problems with my application. Is there a way of pasting screen shots in here so I can explain?

Thanks again for your help Smile | :)

apply foreach in a byte[] ArrayList

I'd recommend creating a new Visual Studio project that you can play with. Then set the Localizable property to true in the test project, add a combo box, and add some strings to it. Then you can see how VS is adding the resources and using them.

VS does use a ResourceManager to manage the resources. You can add a "Resource" from the "Add Item to Project" menu option. Make sure you don't already have a resource in your project though.

Another option would be to add a new (temporary) Form to your existing project, set it's Localizable property to true, add a combo box, and add some strings to it. This will create the resource for you and give you a sample of how it works. Then delete the Form when you are done. This will leave the resource file, so you can use it in your existing forms.

To load strings in the combo box for your existing Form, you would do the same thing that the test Form did (in it's Form#.Designer.cs file). Except, you would put your code to add the items to the ComboBox in the constructor of your existing Form (after the InitializeComponents call).

Take care,
Tom

Hi.
an example:

byte[] fileconte = new byte[6];<br />
(code and code....)<br />
ArrayList list = new ArrayList();<br />
list.Add(fileconte);

How i can use a foreach to get list objets into a byte[]?? like:

foreach (byte[] cont in list) {<br />
}

this?

byte[] fileconte = new byte[6];
//...
ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
list.Add(fileconte);
//How i can use a foreach to get list objets into a byte[]?? like:
foreach (object cont in list) {
  byte[] myByteArray = cont as byte[];
  myByteArray[0] = 5;
}

Hello,

As the 'as' could also return 'null',

this could leed to an null ref exception!

Of course I know, but I leave all the checking code as an exercise for the reader.

BTW that's enforce flexibility as you may choose to:

(1) Really write the checking code.
(2) Use a precondition/postcondition approach on your project.
(3) Simply thrust preceeding code (viable only for very small projects).

Re: apply foreach in a byte[] ArrayList

9-Oct-07 22:02

Hello,

This will work if you only Add "byte[]"'s to your List.

byte[] actArray1 = new byte[5];
byte[] actArray2 = new byte[6];
ArrayList actList = new ArrayList();
 
actList.Add(actArray1);
actList.Add(actArray2);
 
foreach(byte[] actArray in actList)
{
	int length = actArray.Length;
}

But will throw an exception (System.InvalidCastException') if you also add different types to the List:

byte[] actArray1 = new byte[5];
byte[] actArray2 = new byte[6];
Control actControl = new Control();
ArrayList actList = new ArrayList();
 
actList.Add(actArray1);
actList.Add(actArray2);
actList.Add(actControl);
 
foreach(byte[] actArray in actList)  //will throw the exception here
{
	int length = actArray.Length;
}

There for you could use:

byte[] actArray1 = new byte[5];
byte[] actArray2 = new byte[6];
Control actControl = new Control();
ArrayList actList = new ArrayList();
 
actList.Add(actArray1);
actList.Add(actArray2);
actList.Add(actControl);
 
foreach(object actObject in actList)
{
	byte[] actArray = actObject as byte[];
	if(actArray!=null)
	{
		int length = actArray.Length;
	}
}

IF you are using framework > .Net1.1, you could use a generic list.

All the best,

Martin

Now i'm remember that byte in ArrayList

This is my code:

            ArrayList actList = new ArrayList();<br />
<br />
            actArray1[0] = 0x6f;<br />

Protection for excel sheet

iet20009-Oct-07 21:17

Hi all,
We are automating an excel sheet using c#.

We provided security to the excel sheet by using protect() method.

The problem is,
the excel sheet can be modified by other unauthenticated users of the system inspite of the protection we provided programatically.

We need to modify the excel sheet only programatically but not manually by opening the excel sheet and modify data in the cells.

We also tried setting the protection level attributes in the excel sheet tools
manually...But we are not satisfied as the protection level attributes can also be changed by others.

Please help us.

Regards,

IET

explain me secend FDemo , explain that what is it? it has the same name with class:

class FDemo {
int x;
FDemo (int i) {
x = i;

}

Martin#9-Oct-07 21:23

9-Oct-07 21:23

Hello,

It's a parameterised constructor;
The constructor name has to be equal with the class name!

A class can have more than one constructor:

class FDemo
{
    int x;
 
    //default constructor
    FDemo()
    {
    }

    //parameterized constructor, which takes an int
    FDemo(int i)
    {
        x = i;
    }

}

If you now want to instanciate the class you could use:
FDemo fdemo = new FDemo();
or:
int actValue = 5;
FDemo fdemo = new FDemo(actValue);

All the best,

Martin

Like I said, to instanciate a class;

Or, do you mean, why we use parameterized constructors?
