So, let me guess writing [][] (Jagged array) refers to two "different" seperate arrays. Then using the struct would be faster because you are only one array reference instead of two?

Am I totally wrong?

Actually, a jagged array [n][m] will create n*m arrays.

MSDN[^] writes a bit about performance of value and reference types. If value types have a lot of members, that it might be better to use a reference to this type using the ref keyword. Of course this is only applicable if you want to allow modification of the value type. Reference types have some GC overhead though.

Not 100% cetain, but with modern processors and compilers there should be negligible odds. Any given structure is of constant size, and the offset into the structure for any given member is also constant. The array indexing is therefore trivial, and the member offsetting calculable at compile-time. e.g. If iterating in a for loop, it might typically add the struct size onto the index each time, which was originally primed with the address of the member variable in the initial array element.

I have made changes to code with the help of another developer...
This code does not seem to be working fine when there are multiple <NODE> tags
Do you see what the problem is please?
The xml is below:
Thanks

XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.Load("XMLFile1.xml");

XmlNode bNode = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("BIBLE");

string strBibleClientID = xmlDoc.DocumentElement.GetAttribute("CLIENT_ID");
string strBibleMatterID = xmlDoc.DocumentElement.GetAttribute("MATTER_ID");
string strBibleDocNumber = xmlDoc.DocumentElement.GetAttribute("DOCNUMBER");

XmlNodeList nodes = xmlDoc.SelectNodes("/BIBLE/NODE");

foreach (XmlNode node in nodes)
{
XmlNodeList docs = node.SelectNodes("./DOC");

foreach (XmlNode doc in docs)
{
string clientID = doc.Attributes["CLIENT_ID"].Value;
string matterID = doc.Attributes["MATTER_ID"].Value;
string docName = doc.Attributes["DOCNAME"].Value;
string docNumber = doc.Attributes["DOCNUMBER"].Value;
}
}

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<BIBLE MATTER_ID="00123" CLIENT_ID="12345" DOCNUMBER="65476">

Hi,

maybe you have to use "//DOC" instead of "./DOC"?

UML Modelling of C# / .NET Windows Apps?

C Change28-Jan-09 0:28

I'm in the process of learning C#/.NET & UML, having previously done many years of embedded C/C++, with a smidgen of UML and VS6/MFC. I'm doing a home project, and can now at least put *simple* windows apps together. I want to now do a good object oriented design for a C# project - I've got Visual Paradigm for UML to help me here.

The problem I have is this: How best to model in an OOD the windows infrastructure elements of the design:-
* GUI components. Forms, buttons, text windows, etc etc.
* Event handlers. Being event-drive they just "pop up from nowhere" and then disappear again.
* How the underlying infrastructure knits it all together.

I can imagine that if I have a "PressMeHere" button, then it would be an object having a "PressMeHere_ButtonClick" event handler as one of its public methods, but it would be nice to see what it is in the system that invokes this method, and how the major .NET components interact.

Can anyone point me to a UML modelling of a typical .NET Windows application? Something that clearly identifies the demarcation between .NET/Windows infrastructure, versus application. I'd be very grateful if anyone can.

You are not giving a URL to user for download.

But you are pushing a download to user.
In this case, file content is buffered in system memory and the content is pushed from memory only(not from disk).
Now if you delete the Source there will be no issue to one downloading the file.

Your application will close when the initial form closes.

Quick and dirty way is to call Hide instead of Close, call ShowDialog() for the new form and then call close on the initial form after that.

Another way (I'm not too keen on this but in some ways is better) is to take control of the Application thread yourself.

The reason the application closes when your initial form does is because of the Application.Run(new Form1()); in the Main method of Program.cs.

If you show the form yourself before this line and then just call Application.Run(); the application then won't close until Application.ExitThread() is called.

This method is static so can be called from anywhere. Just make sure it is definately called from any place that should be able to close the program.

Loading vjslib dynamically

Gareth H27-Jan-09 22:49

27-Jan-09 22:49

I am using a 3rd party DLL that uses the J# runtime. If J# isnt installed, i get a FileIO exception. I want to be able to check when my program starts up if J# is installed, I think the best way is to load the assembly, if its found, then carry on, if not, notify the user.

I tried:

Assembly.Load("vjslib"); and Assembly.Load("vjslib.dll"); but both throw not found exceptions.

The below works fine, but that means the path is hard coded. Is it possible to get the DLL's location dynamically?

string path = "C:\\WINDOWS\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v2.0.50727\\vjslib.dll";
Assembly assembly = Assembly.LoadFile(path);

Regards,
Gareth.

Just a thought, try if you can write a small search routine and search the dll in %systemroot%\\Microsoft.NET\\

If J# runtime is installed is it definite to have the dll in C:\WINDOWS\system32\? If yes use %systemroot%\\system32\\vjslib.dll

string path = "%systemroot%\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v2.0.50727\\vjslib.dll";
Assembly assembly = Assembly.LoadFile(path);
