Will these links help you? Both use INotify.

One way to achieve this would be to have your collection implement INotifyCollectionChanged (if using ObservableCollection is out of bounds), and use a mediator class to monitor the changes. Obviously you'd want to use INotifyPropertyChanged for individual items in the collection.

Would using a DataGridView be a better option? I don't want anything fancy - I just need the listview to update items that have changed (possibly hundreds of items changing every 2 or three seconds or so).

BTW, this isn't a WPF application...

I don't know that DGV would be a better choice. The fact that the listview supports virtualisation is a big plus. BTW - I figured it wasn't WPF.

You can use the VirtualMode in list view.

This way you can specify your own content in call back events.

ComponentModel documentation [solved]

I'm trying to create a Component that sits in the Forms designer component tray and contains additional subcomponents that can be selected and configured via the document outline view (or through a collection property of the main component).

I've looked at numerous code project articles and even peeking at some MS components that behave kind of like this (e.g. ListView), but I can't seem to get my sub-components to show up in the Document Outline.

The MSDN is non-helpful in this area, their "documentation" consists of is a 2 sentence blurb describing an esoteric example and then 10 pages of code that assumes an intimate understanding of the entire .NET component model.

Anyone know of a good source of documentation on this area, or better yet any tips on what I might try?

Thanks,
-Chris

[solved]
I figured out how to do it. In my main component, add a custom designer:

[Designer(typeof(MyDesigner), typeof(IDesigner))]
public class MyComponent : Component

Then in MyDesigner, inherit from System.ComponentModel.Design.ComponentDesigner and override a couple methods, shown below:

public override void Initialize(IComponent component)
{
   base.Initialize(component);

   _myComponent = (MyComponent) component;
}

public override System.Collections.ICollection AssociatedComponents
{
   get
   {
      if (_myComponent == null)
      {
         return base.AssociatedComponents;
      }
      return _myComponent.Subcomponents;
   }
}

Now my sub components are selectable via Document Outline, but suppressed in the component tray (so as to keep it tidy). Cool | :cool:

Linq and IEnumerable - case insensitive?

shn40023-Dec-09 16:31

I have this piece of code that "selects" from an Excel data stream and also from an XML one:
foreach (var ex in dataExcel)
{
ExcelRecs++;
IEnumerable<xelement> part =
from item in Partlists.Descendants("Partx")
where (string)item.Element("Part_name") == ex.Name
select item;

.....
}

How do I make the comparison "case INSENSITIVE"? that is either one of item.Element("Part_name") or ex.Name can be upper case and the other lower case, the == comparise would still be true.

Thanks for your help!

you want to compare two strings in a special way?
what class could possibly help you?
and what would be a nice name for a relevant method in such class?

Use string.Compare.

var part = from item in Partlists.Descendants("Partx")
where string.Compare((string)item.Element("Part_name"), ex.Name, true) == 0
select item;

Problem with List<>

polomint3-Dec-09 7:40

Hi,

I have a problem with VS2010beta2 and .NET Framework Client Profile, although I would expect the problem to be something to do with my inexperienced coding.

I have this block of code..

struct sGamePort
{
    public string sgpProtocol;
    public UInt16 sgpPortStart;
    public UInt16 sgpPortEnd;
}

struct sGamePortItem
{
    public string sgpName;
    public List<sGamePort> sgpPortList;
}

List<sGamePortItem> sGames;


private sGamePort ParsePorts(string[] line)
{
    sGamePort gp = new sGamePort();
    gp.sgpProtocol = line[0];
    int num = line.Count();
    if (num == 2)
    {
        // single port opened...
        gp.sgpPortStart =  Convert.ToUInt16(line[1]);
        gp.sgpPortEnd = Convert.ToUInt16(line[1]);
    }
    if (num == 3)
    {
        // port range opened...
        gp.sgpPortStart = Convert.ToUInt16(line[1]);
        gp.sgpPortEnd = Convert.ToUInt16(line[2]);
    }
    return gp;
}

Where line is a string array which essentially holds some tokens.
ie.
line[0] = "NAME"
line[1] = "JOHN"
line[2] = "YOUNG"

Now, in a seperate function I have

sGamePortItem pi = new sGamePortItem();
pi.sgpProtocol = "TCP";
pi.sgpPortList.Add(ParsePorts(strCMD));

This gives me a Null Reference Exception, so I changed it to this...

sGamePortItem pi = new sGamePortItem();
pi.sgpProtocol = "TCP";
sGamePort test = new sGamePort();
test = ParsePorts(strCMD);
pi.sgpPortList.Add(test); // ERROR HERE

Now, the error only occurs on the specified line above.. What am I doing wrong? Is it to do with me using the new keyword incorrectly? Or do I not use 'new'?

Any help would be appreciated as this has been confusing me for a few hours now, lol

Thanks again.

John

The problem is that your line:

public List<sGamePort> sgpPortList;

should be:

public List<sGamePort> sgpPortList = new List<sGamePort>();

Need to assign a target to sgpPortList before you dereference it, hence the null ref exception.

Damn, I knew it would be something trivial...

Thanks for waking me up to a silly mistake, Big Grin | :-D

EDIT:
Now I'm getting the error "cannot have instance field initializers in structs"...
Hmmm, this could be a pain...

EDIT AGAIN:
I realised what was wrong.. I hadn't been initialising the sGamePortItem in the list..

sGamePortItem pi = new sGamePortItem();
pi.sgpPortList = new List<sGamePort>();  // THIS WAS NEEDED.

Thank you for your help, it made me think more about the initialisation...

You need to initialize the list of the struct "sGamePortItem" before assigning the object.

Hold the parent session when calling a showModalDialog child

Hi,

I am developing a web app in VB.NET 1.1. In some Webforms I call a showModalDialog child, but when I close it, the parent session is removed.

Please, how can I hold it?

Thanks in advance,

Modal dialogues can't refer to their parent using opener. You need to pass a reference to the parent in the second parameter to showModalDialog.

Hi Puri,

That is what I did. And I maintain a conversation between then parent and the child.
I am thinking if it is possible to send the parent session to the child and bring it back
to the parent when close the child.

Thanks for your interesting,
Jose
