So, basically you are asking us to help you cheat. Them, if you pass your course, I assume you will want to get a job where you will be expected to write code - will we be expected to help you cheat then? Will you give us your salary?
I'm sorry, but I have absolutely no sympathy for you. You have wasted your time, and you are going to fail. I hear that Burger King are hiring.

Burger King still expects its employees to know how to follow instructions.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

Hi all,
As a part of my project I have an abstract class that looks like this:
abstract class TabPageTemplate : TabPage
{
public abstract void Process();
public abstract void Cancel();
public abstract bool LoseFocus();
public abstract void Populate(int identifier);
public abstract event EventHandler PageClosed;
}
I also have separate classes defined, all of which implement the above abstract class. On another Form (that contains a TabControl) I can then add any of these TabPages and know that each one will have implemented the four methods and one event handler so I can call any of them.
It works great, but there is one major inconvenience. I have to design the layout of all of those TabPages in code, I cannot use the VS Designer. The reason for this is that the Designer can't create an instance of whatever TabPage I'm busy designing (because the base class from which the TabPage inherits is abstract). This is the error message that the Designer gives me:
The designer must create an instance of type 'MyProject.TabPageTemplate' but it cannot because the type is declared as abstract.
Would anyone have some advice for me here? At first this wasn't a problem but these TabPages are getting quite complex now and doing all of the control layout in code is getting very tedious.

I see two ways to solve the problem:
1. drop the abstract keyword, which obviously means you're also dropping the "must implement" protection.
2. or: use Visual Designer to design either a specialized Pamel, or a UserControl, and use code to put one of those on each of your tab pages.

Sorry Sir,
But I am trying for 20 minutes to design a specialised Pamel but Visual Studio does not recognise this kind of control. I am using Visual Studio 2010. Please help! it's urgentz 
|
|
|
|
|
public class Pamel : Panel {
}
works for me every time.
PS: Feel free to choose another class name.

Thanks Luc, number 2 is what I have been doing so far but it is more tiresome than one might think - which is why I decided I need to make a plan and find a better way of doing this.
I can't just drop the abstract keyword because the section of code that calls the overridden methods doesn't know which TabPage it is accessing. It does something like this:
(TabPage_First as TabPageTemplate).Process()
which means that TabPageTemplate must have a Process() method and it must be overridden by TabPage_First (and all the other TabPages that implement TabPageTemplate).
I can however have TabPage_First inherit from TabPage as opposed to TabPageTemplate, then open it in Designer and do what I want to do, after which I change the inheritance back to TabPageTemplate again. It's a little bit of hassle but nothing as bad as the way I used to do it.
HOWEVER, once I did that I made another unpleasant discovery. You can't use Designer to design the visual layout of controls on a TabPage if the TabPage isn't inside a TabControl. All it shows is a list of all the controls on the TabPage but not positioned on the screen as their properties dictate. You can change their properties (size, location, etc.) but it doesn't show on the TabPage in Designer, you only see it once you compile and run the application.
So here's what I ended up doing, just in case anyone else is interested;
In stead of the TabPageTemplate as described above I defined a UserControlTemplate as follows:
public abstract partial class UserControlTemplate : UserControl
{
public abstract void Process();
public abstract void Cancel();
public abstract bool LoseFocus();
public abstract void Populate(int identifier);
public abstract event EventHandler PageClosed;
}
I then design various UserControls, all of which implement the above abstract UserControlTemplate. At runtime I then create a new empty TabPage, add this UserControl (let's say I call it UserControl_First) to the TabPage, set its Dock value to Fill and then add that TabPage to the TabControl.
I still have to change the inheritance of the UserControl_First from UserControlTemplate to UserControl in order to edit it in Designer and back to UserControlTemplate before compiling but other than that little hassle it works like a charm.

you could consider an interface instead:
public interface IMySpecialTabPageFunctionality {
void Process();
void Cancel();
bool LoseFocus();
void Populate(int identifier);
event EventHandler PageClosed;
}
then do
IMySpecialTabPageFunctionality tabPage=tabControl1.TabPages[0] as IMySpecialTabPageFunctionality;
tabPage.Process();
Apply the above either to a TabPage or to a UserControl intended to be put onto a TabPage.

Thanks Luc,
When I started out doing all of this I thought that Interfaces would be the way to do it but I hit a snag and stopped that line of thinking. Maybe I just still don't fully understand Interfaces.
The problem I have is that an Interface itself can't inherit from a class. In other words, your IMySpecialTabPageFunctionality interface above has the extra functions and event handlers that I want but none of the properties, methods and event handlers of a TabPage. So if I implement that interface I have just an implementation of that interface, I don't really have an extended TabPage.
Like I said, I have limited experience with Interfaces so maybe it's the perfect sollution. Could you clarify the issue above perhaps?

Not sure what the problem is.
In the following situation:
interface IMySpecialTabPageFunctionality {
void Process();
}
class MyTabPage : TabPage, IMySpecialTabPageFunctionality {
public void Process() {
...
}
}
class MyApplication {
IMySpecialTabPageFunctionality object1;
TabPage tabPage2;
MyTabPage tabPage3;
}
object1 is whatever object that implements all members of IMySpecialTabPageFunctionality; it may or may not be a TabPage, so you can't just call tabpage-specific functions on it.
tabPage2 is a regular tabpage, however you can't call Process() on it.
tabPage3 is a specialized tabpage, offering real tabpage functionality as well as the extra interface functions.
One of those is bound to offer what you want.
BTW: tabPage2 and tabPage3 can be designed with Visual Designer, object1 can't.
Furthermore, if you need multiple specializations with a common interface, this is what I would consider:
interface IMySpecialTabPageFunctionality {
void Process();
}
class MyTabPage : TabPage, IMySpecialTabPageFunctionality {
public virtual void Process() {
...
}
}
class MySpecialTabPage1 : MyTabPage {
public override void Process() {...}
}
class MySpecialTabPage2 : MyTabPage {
public override void Process() {...}
}

That is perfect, thanks! That is exactly what I should have been doing from the very start.

I ran into that (or similar) a few years ago. Eventually I opted to use a UserControl and drop it on the TabPages. Since then I have come to the conclusion that all designing should be done on UserControls, not directly on Forms, so you can convert to Tabs if your app becomes more complex.

Thanks PIEBALDconsult. I was just typing my response to Luc when your answer came through, and it is in fact exactly what I ended up doing.
I've been ignoring UserControls for too long and it seems I've now paid the price for it as I'll have to do a fair bit of work to change all my custom TabPages to custom UserControls. You live and you learn.
I still have the problem of not being able to edit a control in Designer that implements an abstract control but I can live with that for the moment (see my response to Luc) - unless of course you know a better workaround for that?

Hi guys.. I have a console application developed on c# VS2003 which sends email based on the query check now when the query returns multiple rows i store them in a dataset can anyone kindly tell me how do i extract the contents from the dataset and paste it on the content of my email.
Any help is highly appreciated..
Thanx inadvance,
Tash

Plain logic :
Iterate over datset/datatable rows. Get data from each row format/align as your need.
And append this in email body.
Like
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
foreach (DataRow item in ds.Tables["TableName"].Rows)
{
sb.Append(item["columnName"].ToString());
}
|
|
|
|

Thanx for the reply, Have you got any sample codes to share???
regards,
Tash

Thanx a lot dude... now have to work on it..
Thanx alot..

is it possible to display as the table as such with the column names and all..??

<<tash18>> wrote: is it possible to display as the table
If by this you mean show in a tabular format like
Col1 Col2
1 A
2 B
As i said you have to format the o/p as you want to show.
foreach (DataColumn dc in ds.Tables["TableName"].Columns)
{
sb.Append(dc.ColumnName);
sb.Append(" ");
}
sb.Append(Environment.NewLine);
foreach (DataRow item in ds.Tables["TableName"].Rows)
{
sb.Append(item["columnName1"].ToString().PadRight(20,' '));
sb.Append(item["columnName2"].ToString().PadRight(20,' '));
sb.Append(Environment.NewLine);
}
May be their better way then this !!
