You must do, those in case of the switch to declaration are just to offer the necessary judgment vessel. Exactly, remember that you express question future better offer perhaps then we is possible the answering which is better.

I need to be able to read and extract information from Windows' shortcuts. (The file being launched, and the comment.) Maybe I'm missing something really obvious, but I can't find a way to do this. (Honestly, how hard can this be?  )
Thanks in advance,
Bobert

What do you mean, like a shortcut to your application or, all shortcuts?
|
|
|
|
|
You need to know the structure of that file to read and extract it's contents.
|
|
|
|
|
Windows shortcuts are exposed using the IShellLink interface.
The methods you need are GetPath and GetDescription.

I am making an application that is rendering timeline data. The data is simple - I have an array of Events, Event being a class I've defined with several simple properties.
One of the properties that I'm trying to define is the relationship an individual Event has with other events. Basically, I want some events to be Parent events, and others to be children of those parent events.
How do I define a property that is a pointer to another instance of a class of the same type? In C#, you can't use pointers to classes that contain managed types, so that doesn't seem like an option.
I suppose I could create several arrays, each one representing a parent class, with the parent class being the zeroth element and child classes following the zeroth element, but I was hoping to simplify the data by making one big Array of Events and having each element contain relational data.
Thanks!

You use a reference. You have already used them, an array of Event is actually an array of references to Event objects.
You can use a parent referene:
public class Event {
public Event Parent { get; set; }
}
Or you can have a list of children:
public class Event {
private List<event> _children = new List<event>();
public List<event> Children { get { return _children; } }
}</event></event></event>
Or you can even have both a parent reference and a childrens list. It depends on how you are going to use it. If you have only a parent reference you have to loop through the array to find a child, and if you only have a childrens list you have to loop through the array and loop through the children of each item to find a parent.
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

You should try to implement a composite pattern (which is exactly what the other user suggested), a tree structure for representing hierarchies.

Hello,
I have few UserControls and one Form. In my application I switch the Controls depending on user work. Creating of these Controls is to much time-consuming. I need a method to pre-create this Controls for example in Idle or another Thread. The Idle event blocks the user work and creating Controls in another Thread throws exception "Cross-thread operation not valid".
Do you have some idea how to do it?
Thanks, Vodpik

Hi,
AFAIK you can't, and IMO you should not even want that. If creating your user controls is time consuming I expect at least one of the following:
1. you did something wrong, making the initialization too slow (e.g. not using SuspendLayout/ResumeLayout when adding lots of items to a listing control)
2. you designed an unrealistic control (too many controls, say 50 or more, in one user control); try changing your design, use listing controls (ListBox, ListView, etc) rather than large numbers of simple controls.
3. you are spending lots of time in getting the data to initialize the controls (e.g. due to networking,
slow web access, slow database access). Start using separate threads to obtain the data, then use Control.InvokeRequired/Control.Invoke to apply the data.

Hey, my name is Yahav and i am a .NET programer (and PHP expert but never mind...)
In my currect program, i am tring to connect to my website SQL server (server type - mySql).
i have downloaded the dll C# lib to do that connect and i have got mySQL "test connection program" who checks the sql connection and give me to edit the program
the link to download: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/[^]
the problem is when i entering my host address (pearservices.com) or the ip address 62.90.136.206 i got error: "host address {my home address} could not connect to this SQL server."
({my home address} = my home ip address)
but when i entering localhost (mean my own mysql server that i have insalled on my computer) its works very well
someone can explain me why i get this error, and how can i connect to remote server, if this is a problem with my website host, do you have a hosts that give me the abillty to do that?
thanks you very motch, Yahav.
P.S.: Sorry, my engish is not very well.

Just a couple of possibilities... The database server is not visible or not configured to accept connections from outside of its machine (if the webserver resides in the same machine), or from outside the network, or from a network that includes your home IP.
I have never used mySql, but this is what I can think of.

|
|
|
|
Firewall issues as well, perhaps?
|
|
|
|
|
Mabye it can be... but do you know a SQL server (I dont mind use mySql/MS Access/SQL Server) that i can connect with it? i searched the net and didnt find... (and its not like the host will say to me "i gives you the abillty to connect from other machine" ^^")
Thanks you very moch for your answers, ill talk today to my host administrator and try to find the problem.

Hi,
i have a class "user" that implements INotifyPropertyChanged.
with databinding i bind a objekt user1 to textboxes on a winform.
If i change the properties from user1, the textboxes will be updated.
Now i have a function that returns an objekt(user).
user1 = getuser(); -> no changes in the textbox.
with debugging i see, that the setter was not called.
How can i get this done ?
i want to see the returned data in my textboxes.
bye jo
|
|
|
|
|
Did you try rebinding the text box to the new object reference and see if the Notification fires ? You are changing the object reference which your text box was bound to. I suspect the textbox is still bound to the old reference of user1. A rebinding should make it point to the new reference.

Hi
I need to create a visual graph editor (with drag and drog), something like state diagrams with nodes and arrows, for a specific application.
Any advice on any component\code\framework to support it ?
Thanks for any help.

There are loads of examples of 'Drawing Board' or UML type apps, both of which use some of the techniques you will need. Try googling for 'UML c#'
or 'drawing board c#'.
An alternative is 'network graph c#', although that does not get such relevant results.
Tell you what, try some for yourself, while you're waiting for someone to come up with a better answer.

Hi,
I need to build a datagrid dynamically, entirely in c# so no asp tags can be used.
I need my datagrid to contain a textbox in each cell; pre-populated with the corresponding value from the datatable.
My code creates the text box in each cell perfectly BUT every value in the columns is the value of the last cell in that column of the datagrid.
The InstantiateIn method doesn’t seem to be being called for each row and only runs once for the last row. I can’t figure it out....
I pretty inexperienced with c# so any answers would be most appreciated.
Please help.
Thanks,
Jules

I spotted one bug in your code:
you are looping through columns, and for each column you are looping the rows, so tc.ItemTemplate = new DataGridTemplate(ListItemType.EditItem, RowCallName); gets updated for each row, but it is used only one time, after exiting the loop, so last value of tc.ItemTemplate is the last row value.

You cannot do this using tc.ItemTemplate, you are not using it correctly. ItemTemplate is used to specify the template of a column, so you cannot specify 5 templates (for 5 rows) - for the same column.
Anyway, the colums templates are defined ok, but the binding is wrong.

Hello,
I am trying to initialize a jagged array as shown below. "Screen2 button IDs" and "Screen3 button IDs" arrays are a replica of the "Default screen button IDs" array. I was hoping to find a way where I can declare and initialize a 1-dimensional array similar to the "Default screen button IDs" one then use this array in my jagged array initialization. This will help me preserve some space and make the array look shorter. Any advice on how to achieve this?
Thanks,

Just place it in a temporary variable first?
