Hello everyone,

To implement a service, I think we just need to derived from ServiceBase class, and implement some event handler function, like OnStart, OnStop, etc.

As described in the sample,

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.serviceprocess.servicebase(VS.80).aspx

What is the function of method InitializeComponent? I found it never called explicitly in the class SimpleService, nor there are any document from MSDN about this method. Any ideas?

thanks in advance,
George

This is always where auto generated code lives, you should not modify it if you can help it.

Do we need to modify code for this method? Which party will invoke this method?

As Christian said, you don't need to modify it. Its just the designer code, so for example, if you drop a textBox on a form, all it's initialisations will go there such as it's size, location, name etc...

Thanks Phannon,

Your reply is great! I think you mean this method will be maintained by designer (for example, if we add new Timer control, designer will add initialization code for Timer control in this method).

If we want any initialization code, we should put in constructor, right?

George

As CG said, it is auto generated. In windows application, controls will be initialized and added to the container in this method. This will be called from the constructor. In service you don't need this since you are not using any components like Timer etc. If you are using components like Timer, you can make use of this method to initialize the component and add it to the components collection which is IContainer instance. This helps the application to dispose the components used when service is getting disposed.

Hope this helps

You can put the initialization code anywhere before the instance is used.

I guess for shift + tab its
Sendkeys.send("+{TAB}")

For Alt + tab its
Sendkeys.send("%{TAB}")

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.

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.

Regex.Replace Enquiry [modified]

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?
