Hi Guys. Hope you all had a great weekend.

I want to impliment some further validation on a textbox in one of my applications. I currently only check that the .TextLength is 11 characters and if not to throw an error message. Now, I wan to take it one step further by checking that first character is a specific character say, A or B and if not to throw an error.

i.e I want to check that the first character in A0812345678 is an A or B. If not then then throw error.

Can somebody please help with this?

Below the check to see if it is 11characters long:

if (txtboxHolderRef.TextLength < 11 || txtboxHolderRef.TextLength > 11)
{
    MessageBox.Show("HolderID should be 11 characters" , "Invalid Field Length",
        MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
    return;
}

Why would you throw an error ?

|| (txtBoxHolderRef[0] != 'A' && txtBoxHolderRef[0] != 'B')

Hi Christian. Because If they don't capture the data correctly I want to error rather than let them capture incorrect data. I need to process this data into the main system at a leter stage and getting the data correct when they capture it reduces any manual fixing later.

I will give your suggestion a go and see what happenes.

Thanks for the advice again.

^[abAB]{1}.*$

This expression matches with all the words starting with a and b. Use this pattern with Regex class and check for a match. If no match found, throw an error. Also you may check this[^] article which explain writing rules to your business objects and binding the error provider to the control. It can make life more easy.

if (!txtboxHolderRef.Text.Lenght.Equals(11))
{
throw your error and return
}
else
{
String StartLetter = txtboxHolderRef.Text.Substring(1,1)
switch (StartLetter)
{
case "A": do something; break;
case "B": do some other thing; break;
default: break;

Why are you still using .NET 1.1, and if you're not, why are you using arraylist ?

The List class certainly has an items collection which has a remove method, I believe ArrayList does, too.

Hello!

I´ve got this regular expression:

Regex.Replace(amount.Value.ToString(), @"(?<=^-?\d+)(?=\d{3}$)", ".")

it takes a value and returns it formated like this:

1 -> 1<br />
12 -> 12<br />
123 -> 123<br />
1234 -> 1.234<br />
12345 -> 12.345<br />
123456 -> 123.456

problem arises when number of digits are above 6, the code then returns

1234567 -> 1234.567

whereas I would want it to return

1234567 -> 1.234.567 and 12.345.678, 123.456.789 etc.
I realize the '$' character´s got go , since it means end of string, but if I remove it I get really strange results.

Could someone help me alter the expression to achive this?

An easier way to do this would be to just do it using string mashing. Or using string.Format to do decimal formatting for you.

Hi,

I want to load bigger size file into GUI (typically Text box),but it takes lot of time in the intial loading to avoid this like to load part of data and rest during scroll bar moving. For this i'm prefering to go for Lazy Loading.

Does anyone has solution example for lazy loading to meet his requirement? Is so give me link to walk through

Thanks

Sounds like you read a technical term while on the toilet and now you're hoping it will magically solve your problem. Lazy initialisation is not going to speed anything up, it just defers when something is loaded. IF a textbox takes a long time to load, one has to wonder why you're putting such a huge file in a textbox to start with.

AFAIK, this won't change. You need to write your own message box with required buttons.

Generate CREATE TABLE script from DataTable structure [modified]

netDeveloper13-Apr-08 22:01

13-Apr-08 22:01

Hi,
I have to export data from a given select in a database from one server to a table from another server.If the table where i have to insert data doesn't exist, i have to create it.Since i can't use select into which also creates the table(servers are not linked so select into won't work), i have to generate script manually and i'm using the column types from the DataTable filled using a SQlAdapter to do this.My problem is how do i map System.Type in the CREATE script.I tried using DBType, but that also returns strings like Int32, which i can't use.If let's say, i change Int32 to int will work, but doing this for every Type would mean a lot of work.
Any ideas on how to do the mapping, or is there a different approach to do this?
I could use select..into..where 1=0 on the source database to create an empty temporary table, use SMO to obtain the script and delete the temporary table, but i think it has risks so i'm trying to avoid it.
Thank you

Please don't make your post bold. It's jut annoying.

You need to copy the image, close the original, and save from the copy. This is a bug in .NET.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
