Re: object constants in c# - C# Discussion Boards

How do you use an object to return constants... or to select them...

like:
Whatever.CCN.use.HomePermanent; (when you hit the '.' after 'use' you get other options)

or I would like to set it like this
Whatever.CCN.use = "HP";

So in the 'use' class there would be constants set
HomePermanent = "HP";
HomeVacation = "HV";
WorkPlace = "WP";
Home = "H";

I think an Enum is probably what you're looking for.

Ok I've declared the enum

but now how do I use it in a class struct:

enum nameuse { Legal = "L", Alias = "P", None = "" };

public class theName
{
public string use; // so that this is supposed to only have 3 options
public string prefix;
public string FirstName;
public string Middle;
public string LastName;
public string Suffix;
}

instead of declaring use as a string declare it as nameuse

public nameuse use;
use = nameuse.Legal;

If I'm not mistaken it would be:

public nameuse use;

Then you should get a list when you use InstanceOftheName.use = (List of options)

Also I believe enums have to be a numbered list. Like this:

enum nameuse { None = 0, Legal = 1, Alias = 2 };

If you want something to return a string based on a letter, usually you have to use a function with a switch case statement inside it to return the value you want. That won't give you the nice ordered list in the IDE though.

Of course I've been relegated to the vb6 world of doom for a while now so my thinking could be a bit off on c#.

Yes I just got an error mesg... trying this method on:

Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'int'
public enum nameuse { Legal = "L", Alias = "P", None = "" };

and it points out on each of the stringed items... as if they need to be Integer.

I think I'll go back to Hanlon's method... and attempt that direction.

public static class use
{
  public const string HomePermanent = "HP";
}

This could be used by string myValue = use.HomePermanent; Is this what you're after?

ok I tried your method...

public static class thenameuse {
public const string Legal = "L";
public const string Alias = "P";
public const string None = "";
}

public class theName
{
public thenameuse nameuse;
public string prefix;
public string FirstName;
public string Middle;
public string LastName;
public string Suffix;
}
public theName[] Name;

but from the form class...
cn.Patient.Name[0].nameuse. (I do not get the the const values to populate when hitting the '.') I tried a few things, to no avail. What am I missing?

Hi,
I have a project suite that is written in vb6. Since some of the programs in the suite don't work, I created the same programs in c#. How can I create a setup file that will have the rest of the vb6 projects and c# projects?

Also, if this message doesn't belong to this message board, I apologize and would like it if you can tell me where I can ask this question.

Thank you,

Prateek

Graphics dc = this.CreateGraphics();
Pen redPen = new Pen(Color.Red, 10);
dc.DrawEllipse(redPen,10,10,50,50);

... not forgetting to call Dispose on the Graphics and Pen objects of course - better done in using blocks so you can't forget.

hi. i think you are looking for a template matching algorithm.
there are several ways for this. but the main problem in all algorithms is the size of object.
if you looking for a fixed size object then it can be a little easy but when you looking for circles of any size then you should read expert articles in this context.
sorry but i don't think that anyone in this heaven can give you a perfect code of this.
just google the "template matching" or "object recognition" to get some clues.

sometimes 0 can be 1

I'd start by writing out my requirements, and then mapping out a couple of possible solutions (probably using storyboards).

You can do almost everything using C# (IT related Big Grin | :-D

)

You can use this class[^] and use the DownloadData Method to get the byte[]. and then you can parse those data and create a excel file.
