hi guys
i am having trouble formating my string text for my listbox.
this is what i am using

String.Format("{0,-15} \t {1,-50} \t {2,-20} \t", data1,data2,data3);

however due to the amount of space some text used up when many words are used the tab always goes out of place and end up making untidy

does anyone have a better alternative or a solution for this problem? pls assist

Try a fixed-size font (e.g. Courier) and fill it up with spaces instead of tabs Smile | :)

Doesn't look to cool, I know. If you want something better looking, try the DataGridView or the ListView.

Hi,
I need to plot the Square Wave form which have X and Y- Axis. The Wave will get Plot in to the graph(Windows Form) using c#.
Thanks

I think you need to be a bit more specific here? How is your wave represented? As a frequency, a wavelength, an array of samples?

Are you just trying to plot it to the screen?

Thanks for your quick response Rob!!!

Yes the wave can be drawn from the Array of values and the possible values are follows;

- Along the X-Axis (1,2,3,4,....) Y-Axis(A, B, C, D...)
- Based upon the bit values like 010101010 it should come up with UP(1)/DOWN(0) for A in Y-Axis.

It would be helpful if you shown me how to plot the value for Single Y-Axis 'A' Row.

Thanks,
Palanivel

Okidoke, you don't need to worry about the X-Axis, this just always increments. So you've got an array of booleans which alter (which is pointless really as we can draw a square wave by appreciating its repeating manner).

Graphics wise you'll want a windows forms application. Derive a class from Panel. In the derived classes override OnPaint.

You get a Graphics object given to you by that which allows you to draw lines and such things.

Create the loop and draw the lines. I can't offer much more help without knowing about things like frequency, scaling etc.

Rob Philpott.

A flexible charting library for .NET[^]
See this and try to use the function in it.
For example :
X = 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, ...
Y = 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, ...

That is a square wave.

There's usually two approaches to XML things like this, a streaming one which has a small memory footprint or the document approach where you load the whole xml into memory. The latter is easier if your xml is not too big.

(There's also a swanky new way using Linq2Xml which I know nothing about).

Something *like* :

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(<the file="">);

XmlNodeCollection nodes = doc.SelectNodes("//<element name="">");</element></the>

That will return you all the child elements with the name your looking for. You can iterate over them etc.

You'll need to brush up a bit on XPath to do it, but its easy enough once you've got your head around that.

thanks for replies

I've changed my app a bit.
to be more precisive, the XML document is like:

<app>
<appname>application1</appname>
<action><arg>argument1</arg><ges>gesture1</ges></action>
</app>
<app>
<appname>application2</appname>
<action><arg>argument2</arg><ges>gesture2</ges></action>
</app>
..etc

I'm choosing a node from my treeview first, and the node in the treeview has the name with "title" node's inner text, (so arg and ges nodes are siblings for the title)

what I'm doing right now is;

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load();


XmlNode editing = doc.SelectSingleNode(treeView1.SelectedNode.Text); //here I'm trying to find a node with selected single node's text

editing.NextSibling.InnerText = "changedText"; //and here I'm trying to change the inner text of the arg or ges nodes' innertext

in fact, application gives "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." message pointing the "XmlNode editing = doc.blahblah" line

any further help?

edit: there's also a <title>NodeTitle1/2</> tag among arg and ges nodes which I forgot to add to xml example

The problem lies on you SelectSingleNode line.

You have to treat XPath statements a bit like directory structures. Unless there's a top level node of that name you won't find it.

You can use \\ to denote any (this node and all below). Try the below:

XmlNode editing = doc.SelectSingleNode(@"\\" +treeView1.SelectedNode.Text);

yeah this seems like the answer, but I couldn't understand the string structure

I've pasted your line in my code and it still gives an error:

XPathException was unhandled:
'\\Applications' has an invalid token.

Thanks Rob you've been very helpful

but now another error occured in the next line,

XmlNode editing = dom.SelectSingleNode(@"//" + treeView1.SelectedNode.Text);  //this is not a problem any more
editing.NextSibling.InnerText = "changedText"; //this line says : "NullReferenceException was unhandled....  Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I promise, no more questions =))

Derive a class from Picture box and override the OnPaint handler. You can then just treat your new class as a control and drop it on whatever forms you want.
