But thats the point the application already doest that. But what i want is instead of passing it 1 USERID instead i want to pass an array of USERIDs and it will generate a single report for each USERID and print the reports automatically after each other.

Ya.. Actually report will be one because it depends on the report viewer. What you can do is to place page breaks to have each payslip in each page. So when you print, it will look like it is producing multiple reports.
In rdlc you can place pagebreak on each control. Just see properties. 
|
|
|
|
|
1. Create a temporary table in the database with a single column that holds the EmployeeID.
2. Join this table with other tables in the report's query based on the EmployeeID column.
3. At the time of generating the report, populate this table with the list of employees for whom you want to generate the report.
4. If multiple users will be generating reports simultaneously, use an additional column to store UserID of the logged in user (or any unique value will solve the purpose).

Yes I was thinking of the same thing but my problem now is that how am I going to get that data from the temporary table and then from that data generate individual reports for each of the users that there are in the database. Now can you help me in means of what code to use so I can do this. Currently I am doing this with microsoft's report viewer but the problem is after I createvthe dataset and bind it to the report and then fill the data only 1 report will be generated now what iwant for a report for every user to be generated automaticcaly. Sorry if you are not understanding me guys.

If you want to generate the data for all employees, don't pass any parameter to the report at runtime and insert a page break at the group footer.

I need to create a form that allows a user to create a two dimensional array. I made a form that has 2 numericupdowns that allows the user to set the maximum number of positions and columns within the array. This set of numericupdowns will not be used again so any mention of numericupdowns refers to the following set. Then I have another set of numericupdowns, a textbox and a button to allow the user to set a value which is typed into the textbox for each array combination. The second set of numericupdowns lets them scroll through and set each combination they want to set a value for. I need it so that once they click the button the value in the textbox is saved and the first numericupdown is incremented by + 1 until it reaches it's maximum. I am new to C# and I am not familiar with programming in general. I am using MS C# 2008 to create this windows form. I don't know if it will help much but here is some of the code I have so far:
Ex of what I am trying to do.
Say a user sets the array to dimensions:
Array[3,2]
I want the user to be able to scroll through these possibilities using a numericupdown to set the value of each array dimension,
Array[0,0] = value set by user by typing it into textbox
button clicked and array dimension saved, first numericupdown increased by 1.
Array[1,0] = value set by user by typing it into textbox
button clicked and array dimension saved, first numericupdown increased by 1.
Array[2,0] = value set by user by typing it into textbox
button clicked and array dimension saved, second numericupdown increased by 1.
Array[0,1] = value set by user by typing it into textbox
button clicked and array dimension saved, first numericupdown increased by 1.
Array[1,1] = value set by user by typing it into textbox
button clicked and array dimension saved, first numericupdown increased by 1.
Array[2,1] = value set by user by typing it into textbox
I am hoping that make this more clear.
Here is some of the code I have so far:
namespace Assignment_1
{
public partial class Form_DefArr : Form
{
public int[,] IndxArr;
public Form_DefArr()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button_CreateNewArr_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
decimal FirstDim = (this.numericUpDown_FirstDim.Value - 1);
decimal SecondDim = (this.numericUpDown_SecondDim.Value - 1);
numericUpDown_FirstIndx.Maximum = FirstDim ;
numericUpDown_SecondIndx.Maximum = SecondDim ;
}
private void numericUpDown_SecondIndx_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
private void button_EnterData_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int ArrData = int.Parse(textBox_ArrElementData.Text);
ArrData = Convert.ToInt32(ArrData);
int FirstIndx = (int)numericUpDown_FirstIndx.Value;
int SecondIndx = (int)numericUpDown_SecondIndx.Value;
IndxArr = new int[FirstIndx, SecondIndx];
IndxArr[FirstIndx, SecondIndx] = ArrData;
}
}
}

What is the purpose of all this?
Is it just homework?
How often will a user need to use this? I don't think any user would enjoy using what you describe.
Is there a maximum number of rows and columns?
Is there a maximum value for each cell?
If the maximums are low then you may wish to create a grid and allow the user to set the cell values in a more intuitive way.
|
|
|
|

This is an assignment for a class I am taking. No real life purpose for this project, just that I have to do it.
There is no max number of columns or rows, just a minimum of 2 by 2.
There is no maximum value either for each cell.
|
|
|
|

I see a problem. Have you tried using debugger?
Since you are using numericUpDown to get maximum leinght.
Everytime you use IndxArr = new int[FirstIndx, SecondIndx]; you assign new memory location, while you lose all current data. That line shoud go to function: button_CreateNewArr_Click().
now you also need also to make sure after every click, numericUpDown are assign new value or use global variable to follow array position
|
|
|
|
|
How can i make it so that it assigns a global variable to each value?
|
|
|
|
|
Sorry, but when I talked Global variables, it means every class have access, but you only need access from a class not Global. Define like you did public int[,] IndxArr;
Do you know about Lifetime of variables?
If you define variable in Function, it will only exists in a function. If you define in for loop, you can't access that variable once for loop exit.
Now look at this line: IndxArr[FirstIndx, SecondIndx] = ArrData;. FirstIndx and SecondIndx you always assign from numericUpDown. If a user doesn't change manualy, it will always set value to a same location. If you want user to see witch location it will store that array and if you want it to make sure it increases automatic after you clicked that button, just increase its value based on alghoritem

public partial class Form_DefArr : Form
{
public int[,] IndxArr;
public Form_DefArr()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button_CreateNewArr_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
groupBox_EnterData.Enabled = true;
decimal FirstDim = (this.numericUpDown_FirstDim.Value - 1);
decimal SecondDim = (this.numericUpDown_SecondDim.Value - 1);
IndxArr = new int[(int)(FirstDim + 1), (int)SecondDim + 1];
numericUpDown_FirstIndx.Maximum = FirstDim;
numericUpDown_SecondIndx.Maximum = SecondDim;
numericUpDown_FirstIndx.Value = 0m;
numericUpDown_SecondIndx.Value = 0m;
}
private void button_EnterData_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int ArrData = int.Parse(textBox_ArrElementData.Text);
int FirstIndx = (int)numericUpDown_FirstIndx.Value;
int SecondIndx = (int)numericUpDown_SecondIndx.Value;
IndxArr[FirstIndx, SecondIndx] = ArrData;
FirstIndx++;
if ((decimal)FirstIndx > numericUpDown_FirstIndx.Maximum)
{
FirstIndx = 0;
SecondIndx++;
if ((decimal)SecondIndx > numericUpDown_SecondIndx.Maximum)
{
SecondIndx = 0;
;
}
}
numericUpDown_FirstIndx.Value = FirstIndx;
numericUpDown_SecondIndx.Value = SecondIndx;
}
Using this code what would I need to enter to make it save the input variables with specific numericupdown numbers?

Those lines would throw error while building. It only Accepts an Integer values. That letter next to 0 is BAD.
Nitegoddess wrote: if ((decimal)FirstIndx > numericUpDown_FirstIndx.Maximum)
Once again. this is incorrect usage of If statment. Therre is no need to convert int to decimal. Also do you want to prompt a user when he reaches the end with message or reset it to beginning?
Does that work for you. Have you tried running?
|
|
|
|

Yes I ran the program and it seemed to work without errors.
I took out the m's and changed the decimal to int like you said. It still seems to work the same. I don't think I need a msg box to let them know they have reached the beginning again but I know how to put that in if needed. I am now in the process of trying to test to see if the data was saved and if so how to get it to display in a msg box that is prompted in a form which is it's parent form. Do you know if the data is being saved and if so how I can create a button outside of the class that will allow me to access the data so it is displayed in a msgbox as:
Array[0,0] = 1.0
Array[0,1] = 3.8
Array[0,2] = 9.7
Array[1,0] = 5.2
Array[1,1] = 2.1
Array[1,2] = 5.8
for example.
From what I can tell it isn't being saved.
This is the code I am using for the button click on the other form:
Form_DefArr DefArr = new Form_DefArr();
if (DefArr.IndxArr == null)
{
MessageBox.Show("Sorry, no array to display");
return;
}
MyArray = DefArr.IndxArr;
string output = "";
for (int i = 0; i < MyArray.GetLength(0); i++)
for (int j = 0; j < MyArray.GetLength(1); j++)
output += "Element[" + i.ToString() + "," + j.ToString()
+ "] = " + MyArray[i, j].ToString() + "\n";
MessageBox.Show(output);
I say this because when I click it the MessageBox.Show("Sorry, no array to display") is displayed.

of course it won't display. You just defined DefArr with new instance. And didn't even show that form.
If you use DefArr.ShowDialog(), you will block executing code until you close the form. But as you showed your code, you create instance without actualy showing and running its script.
Didn't I Mentioned about Variable Lifetime?
Put a line public Form_DefArr DefArr; as you did with IndxArr. After that entire class can access that form.
Nitegoddess wrote: I took out the m's and changed the decimal to int like you said
In those if statements, you compared index value with NumericUpDown.value. Both values are integer but not double.
Also I Noticed your array[,] is defined as integer, however currently you put values such as 5.8 is a Double not Integer. Conversion from Double to Integer loses its accuracy.
I suggest you read some C# books. Did you program in any other language beside C#. C# is one of the easiest language.

My knowledge on this is limited, but I think that might be the problem. Try moving the if statement below the code the following:
MyArray = DefArr.IndxArr;
You define a brand new instance of that array and it has no set values yet. It then hits the if statement, sees it as true and does as told.
At least, I think this is how this is working. I am still working on figuring stuff like this out myself. You also seem to be willing to do a lot of the work yourself, just don't seem to have very good instruction as to some of this stuff. Get a Teaching Assistant or the instructor to be your new buddy, ask questions and make them work with you to go through this. While CP is an awesome resource, the local ones are the best since they can answer on the spot and have better interaction.

He access that array in a different form. As from the last code I assume he shows form after that, he uses a button on original form, where it defines another new instance of a form that doesn't have value set to that array. That way any variable will be either null or have values that was filled by a constructor. as I Get it, he accsess like this:
the below code is for just a show what is going on
public class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1(){}
Int32[,] IndxArr;
}
public class Form1 : Form
{
public buttonShowForm2_Click()
{
Form2 frm = new Form2();
frm.ShowDialog();
}
public buttonReadArray_Click()
{
Form2 frm = new Form2();
if (frm.IndxArr == null)
{
}
}
}
|
|
|
|
|
Right so how can I open a new form using one button and save the data created in it, so that i can use the data on the first form by clicking a different button?
|
|
|
|
|
as I got your email, you did it correctly AFAIK.
|
|
|
|
|
Yea, I see that now.
Form Define_Array is being created on a button click and that grabs the data.
But I don't see that data being passed back to what is supposed to read the array.
As we all know in the C# forums on CP, moving data from one form to another is asked at least once a day...
Yea, making a new form without that data being sent to it isn't going to work. I'll let you answer, you saw that and I didn't. You are much better able to do so.

Yeah I tried that and now I am getting an error during debugging. The error says: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. It is during the MyArray = DefArr.IndxArr; step
Here is the code:
namespace Assignment_1
{
public partial class Form_CreateArray : Form
{
public Form_DefineArray DefineArray;
int[,] MyArray;
public Form_CreateArray()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form_DefineArray DefineArray = new Form_DefineArray();
DefineArray.ShowDialog();
}
private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Application.Exit();
}
private void button4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MyArray = DefineArray.IndexArray;
if (DefineArray.IndexArray == null)
{
MessageBox.Show("Sorry, no array to display");
return;
}
string output = "";
for (int i = 0; i < MyArray.GetLength(0); i++)
for (int j = 0; j < MyArray.GetLength(1); j++)
output += "Element[" + i.ToString() + "," + j.ToString()
+ "] = " + MyArray[i, j].ToString() + "\n";
MessageBox.Show(output);
}
}
}

Acording to email I Got from you, did you clicked that button: button_CreateNewArray, since there you have created instance of Array. Put a breakpoint on Close() in second form and then look if in Quick Watch if Index array is populated. I can help you in about a hour, then I will be home ready to test your sample
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks I will try this, one question, which variable in the code do I add the watch too?
|
|
|
|
|
Whell aray of course, then use step out. Then you will land outside DefineArray.ShowDialog().
After that look in a quick view, if that Array has any walues
|
|
|
|
|
Yes the array contains all the data.
