Thank you both for your links. Just what I was looking for. I'm very happy!
Jase.
P.S. Maybe I need to reset my cache... I don't know why searches are not returning any results.

Can anyone explain why the following won't compile and a possible solution...
string strSequence = (view.GetFocusedValue().ToString() == String.IsNullOrEmpty ? view.GetFocusedValue().ToString() : "");
I get the following error...
Error 16 Operator '==' cannot be applied to operands of type 'string' and 'method group'.
Many Thanks

String.IsNullOrEmpty is a method, not a property. Try to use this instead:
string strSequence = (string.IsNullOrEmpty(view.GetFocusedValue().ToString()) ? view.GetFocusedValue().ToString() : string.Empty);

.IsNullOrEmpty is a method
change to .Empty

Trust me, having if conditions that change variable contents is a good way to really mess your code up and cause such nasty bugs! I don't think Empty() does quite what you think it does...

string.Empty doesn't change the value of the string unless you assign it, and the OP was doing an equality test. What do you think it does?
If his test is if (value == string.Empty), this doesn't change value.

ms fxcop says:
dont use : (value == string.Empty)
use: (value.Length == 0)
|

Indeed, but that's for a separate issue (i.e. it's quicker to check the length). The fuller check is to use string.IsNullOrEmpty to check because the value might be null or it might be empty, in which case value.Length would throw an ArgumentNullException.

You are absolutely right, and I grovel, lots.  I can only blame complete and utter brain failure, brought on by unexpected sunshine.

Ok wait, what are you trying to achieve? This code (even if I pretend that the == works) does not do anything useful.
Suppose view is null: NullReferenceException
Or the value returned by GetFocusedValue is null: NullReferenceException
Or the value returned by ToString is null: strSequence is null
ToString returns "": strSequence is ""
ToString returns anything else: strSequence is ""
So you either get an exception, or you get a useless value in strSequence. What's the deal here? What did you want to do?
If what you want is: the value of view.GetFocusedValue().ToString() if it isn't null, or "" if it is null
Then you could do:
string strSequence = view.GetFocusedValue().ToString() ?? "";

Harold, Thanks for that - I think that is exactly what I need. Basically all I want to do is check if View.GetFocusedValue... is null. If it is null then assign a "" otherwise use the View.GetFocusedValue. What will happen with it if the value comming back happens to be DBNull.Value (assuming I was doing something with a dataset.
Thanks

With the code I suggested you could still get a nasty NullRef, but how about
var FocusVal = view.GetFocusedValue();
string strSequence = "";
if (FocusVal != null)
strSequence = FocusVal.ToString();
Alternatively:
string strSequence = (view.GetFocusedValue() != null) ? view.GetFocusedValue().ToString() : "";
Would call GetFocusedValue twice though so only use if that's ok.
Or if GetFocusedValue returns a string:
string strSequence = view.GetFocusValue() ?? "";
edit: oh I missed the DBNull thing, well that might change things in ways unknown to me - I've never used database code..

Engage your cranium.
This has nothing to do with C# and everything to do with Crystal Reports.

I have to read a file, search for a special character 'ç', its ascii equivalent is 0231 (c-cedilla) and replace it with a space. I have tried File class's ReadAllBytes / ReadAllText / ReadAllLines with Encoding.ASCII to read the file, but when it comes to this special character, it reads as '?' whose ascii equivalent is 63.
How to do this?
Any kind of help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

the file format is probably unicode. just find the byte, then replace it with "space"-byte.
|
|
|
|
|
maybe/maybe not. The file format is probably ascii, just not in the right codepage. Unicode should not have any problem.

how to find the exact byte and replace it. is there any class / method available in c# 2.0?
|
|
|
|

You are opening the file as a text file and so the codepaging is going through and saying 'bad c-cedilla, we no know you' and baneshes it to the wind.
Try opening the file as data and searching the bytes for the cedilla and blapping it.

how to do this, i mean which class i can use to open the file as data and then look for the specific byte for cedilla?
please help, thanks

The FIRST class in System.IO is BinaryReader. Guess what it does?
