Thanks for the link. That was a really neat trick, must be the most creative use of ExpressionTrees I've found so far (besides their intended purpose).

Don't send in the name of the property, send in the PropertyInfo instead.
typeof(myObject).GetProperty("TestPropertyName")
namespace Template
{
public class X
{
public string
Name
{
get
{
return ( "Malcolm" ) ;
}
}
}
public partial class Template
{
private static void
DisplayPropertyNameAndType
(
System.Reflection.PropertyInfo Prop
)
{
System.Console.WriteLine
(
"{0} is {1}"
,
Prop.Name
,
Prop.PropertyType
) ;
return ;
}
[System.STAThreadAttribute()]
public static int
Main
(
string[] args
)
{
int result = 0 ;
try
{
DisplayPropertyNameAndType ( typeof(X).GetProperty ( "Name" ) ) ;
}
catch ( System.Exception err )
{
System.Console.Write ( err.Message ) ;
}
return ( result ) ;
}
}
}
The PropertyInfo can also provide the type to which it belongs: .ReflectedType

Thanks for all the help. I'm still not sure this is what I want. I don't want any hardcoded literal strings. In the code above I still have to use the string "Name" to get the information.
I have an object myObject which has a property TestProperty ie myObject.TestProperty. Using only this I want to get a string of the property name e.g. SomeCode(myObject.TestProperty) returns "TestProperty"

Have a look at the thread that this[^] message is in.
Ed helped me enormously doing remarkable stuff with properties/reflection and more here - it might get you going in the direction you're looking for.

myObject.TestProperty results in only the value of the instance's property.
myObject.GetType().GetProperty("TestProperty") should get you the property, but lose the instance.
I think I need to go back and read this thread from the beginning again to see what I may have missed.

Yeah I still don't think it can be done without either
myval.GetType().GetProperty("Name")
or
typeof(mytyp).GetProperty("Name")
But, consider this...
Write a custom Attribute and use it to decorate fields in the classes you want to use with your grid (assuming you only want to support classes you write).
Then just pass the new type into your grid.
public class GridAttribute : Attribute {}
public class MyClass
{
[GridAttribute()]
public int SomeProperty ...
}
Grid grid = new Grid(typeof(MyClass)) ;
--or, better--
Grid grid = new Grid<myclass>() ; -- Fixed brackets
Then in the constructor for Grid: enumerate the fields of typeof(T) (MyClass) , enumerate the CustomAttributes of each, add each that has the attribute.
P.S. This past week I was playing with passing an enum into a generic class that will investigate its fields looking for a CustomAttribute.

Hi there,
I have an idea that i saw first in the WPF implementation, you can put some public static const variables in your object implementation so that you can call the appropriate property:
<br />
public class MyObject<br />
{<br />
public static const string refTestPropertyName = "TestPropertyName";<br />
private string _TestPropertyName;<br />
<br />
public string TestPropertyName<br />
{<br />
get{return _TestPropertyName;}<br />
set{_TestPropertyName=value;}<br />
}<br />
<br />
....<br />
}<br />
now in your code:
<br />
MyObject myObject = new MyObject();<br />
myGrid.AddColumn(new ColumnDefn(myObject.refTestPropertyName , "", false, true));<br />
Hope that helped

Hi Experts,
I want to sort multiple properties in the collection using IComparer. I could explain below what exactly i am looking for.
I want to sort FirstName By Ascending and LastName by Descending order and vice versa.
I am not looking for below scenario.
collection.Sort(FirstName, Ascending)
collection.Sort(LastName, Descending)
But i am looing for below scenario.
collection.Sort(FirstName, Ascending, LastName, Descending).
Please need help on this. Thanks.
Vijay

Hi,
if you want to sort in a special way, you need to create a class that implements IComparer,
which means it provides a method int Compare (Object x, Object y) where you first cast
x and y to the appropriate class, then perform the comparison the way you want it.
Example, assuming the collection holds instances of class Person:
class MyPersonComparer: IComparer {
int Compare(object x, object y) {
Person p1=(Person)x;
Person p2=(Person)y;
int diff=string.compare(p1.LastName, p2.LastName);
if (diff==0) diff=string.compare(p2.FirstName, p1.FirstName);
return diff;
}
}
BTW: you could embed the Compare method inside an existing class (e.g. Person itself).

hi. i wonder how do i get all my Forms to be categorized into one folder in the vs solution explorer.. ???
e.g Folder1/ Form1.cs
then in the code where should i declare? e.g. when i add new forms. how it declared into the folder?
|
|
|
|
|
You can/move add them into any folder you like within the project. The important thing is the namespace which doesn't have to refer to the folder structure in any way.
|
|
|
|
|
hi i had move one of my form to a new created folder..
but when run it said form1.cs does not exist..
|
|
|
|
|
Is that folder visible in the project? Is the file still visible in Visual Studio Solution Explorer?
|
|
|
|
|
If you create forms(classes) inside existing folders in your solution their namespace is automatically created with the folder as part of it.
e.g. If you create an application called WindowsFormsApplication1, then create a folder called MyForms, then add a new form to that folder called Form2 - Form2's code will actually be
namespace WindowsFormsApplication1.MyForms
{
public partial class Form2 : Form
{
public Form2()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
}
}
and the Form2.Designer.cs file will have
namespace WindowsFormsApplication1.MyForms
{
partial class Form2
{
You can of course edit the namespace to be whatever is appropriate in your situation - just make sure you do it the same in both the Form2.cs and Form2.Desgner.cs
My guess with your
angels777 wrote: form1.cs does not exist
is that the namespace being used to reference form1 from elsewhere is not the same namespace that your form1 resides in.

I am adding a web reference to a web service, and coding against that reference (as auto-generated). I would like to know if there is a way to modify the HttpRequest that is sent when I call the API wrapper that is generated for me when I build the web reference? I plan to transfer file information with the request without requiring the user to know how to segment & order the file. Thanks for any help,
Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mondays

Hello,
I'd like to export a "List<t> type" field of a class keeping it unmodifiable by accesses "from outside". Exporting a copy of the List could be a solution, but I'd like to do it avoiding the copy operation. I mean,
public class MyClass
{
private List<component> component_list= new List<component>();
public List<component> Component_list
{
get {
//copy operation
List<component> list = new List<component> (component_list);
return list;
}
}
}
Can I get the same behaviour retrieving not a copy but a reference to component_list ?
MyClass obj = new MyClass();
List<component> readonlyListRef = obj.Component_list;
readonlyListRef.Clear();
//I want to avoid this code to clear MyClass' member component_list.
I think that neither "readonly" nor "const" make what i want, because the list can be modified during the execution, not only at the construction-time of the MyClass object.
thanks !

So you are saying that doing private readonly Listcomponent_list = new List(); doesn't get the job done? I don't understand why that doesn't do what you want?

Because he wants to allow outside access to the list.
|
|
|
|
|
Well .ToArray() will also copy it, but it's an option.
You could derive your own List (or a wrapper) that doesn't allow public modification.
|
|
|
|

First of all, check that "Ignore HTML tags in this message (good for code snippets)", or encode < and > in your generic list 
I think you should be able to expose it as ReadOnlyCollection<Component>. As I understood from MSDN it does exactly what you want, provides read only wrapper around that collection (and does not make copy).

Upps!! Sorry about the tags 
Hope to do it well this time.
I try it and I think you are right, ReadOnlyCollection<T> does what I want. I was looking for a keyword or an access modifier..., but this seems to be a good solution.
thanks dnh, and thank you all for your attention.

If you are working with a generic list and you want code outside your class to have access to a readonly version, you are in luck. You declare a property or method that returns a ReadOnlyCollection of the same type as your list and return the list using the AsReadOnly method. Here's a quick example:
private List<MyClass> _myList;
public ReadOnlyCollection<MyClass> MyList
{
get { return _myList.AsReadOnly(); }
}
|
|

Hi,
Using "AsReadOnly" method ReadOnlyCollection<MyClass> type property can be exported without having to declare and initialize a ReadOnlyCollection<MyClass> type object, so more simple way to do the same. I like it.
Anyway, I realize that the List object is ReadOnly but the objects that it contains are not. So I can't offer a Read-only access for my List of objects. It seems like I have to make my own wrapping code to export the objects with ReadOnly access too. Right?Another solution?
thanks a lot

I have developed an application that takes a photo. I have a fixed path that the photos are saved to. I am able to save just one and after that unless I restart the whole application I am not able to save to overwrite the file because it sees the file as being in use. Any idea how I can overwrite or delete file in use?
