Look at the number again and note that it's in scientific notation.
You didn't get -4.something. You got -0.00000000000000000004, which is pretty close to 0.

Look again, that's -4 x 10^-20. That's extremely close to 0.

Hi,
I have procedure which returns huge xml data in ref cursor from Oracle procedure,
When the procedure is executed in Toad, it works fine, But when my method calls the procedure it returns an empty row in the datatable.
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Pramod

What does your method return in case of errors (e.g. timeout) - an empty row?
And what's the expected size of that xml string - GigaBytes? Then you ought to consider a different design.

|

it doesn't throws any errors, now I have changed and tried using a DataReader and that works. The XML contains more than 2000 lines and file size is just 83KB.
Somehow the DataReader can perform the operation, but the DataAdapter is not filling the datatable. Is there some kind of size limit?
Thanks & Regards,
Pramod

There are always size limits.
You might try slightly below 64k if you are interested. If that doesn't work then try 32k, etc.

How can I display everything at both the console and a txt file.

Replace your Console.Write and Console.WriteLine calls with a calls to your own method - it can then call the appropriate Console and file system methods.

Hello Everyone,
I would like to create my own barcode generator without using third party library.can i get some info on it?
|
|
|
|

Take a look at this article GenCode128 - A Code128 Barcode Generator[^]. This should help get you started. There are also plenty of other examples out there.
When I was a coder, we worked on algorithms. Today, we memorize APIs for countless libraries — those libraries have the algorithms - Eric Allman

Certainly. You can look at the answers you got when you posted[^] this question before.

CP holds 45 articles[^] with barcode in their title. I trust you read most of them?

Steps to creating your own.
1. Research what "barcode" means exactly. There are different standards. Initially probably best to pick one.
2. If you intend to print it then you are going to need to learn how to write code that prints an image.
3. You need to learn how to create an image in memory. This would be part of 2 but you need to create your own (rather than doing something like loading a jpeg file.)
4. Create code (like what you learned in 3) to implement what you learned in 1. So create a barcode image.
5. Print the image (4 and 2)

Hi all, I am trying to randomly select a character set from a list to be used in my function but I can't get it to work, below is what I have thus far.
public const string myChars1 = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
public const string myChars2 = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
public const string myChars3 = "0123456789";
private string RandomString()
{
char[] buffer = new char[24];
int i = 0;
while (i < 23)
{
int k = 0;
string S = "";
Random myRandomNum = new Random();
Random myRandomNum2 = new Random();
k= myRandNum2.Next(1,3);
S = Convert.ToChar(k);
buffer[i] = myChars+S[myRandNum.Next(myChars+S.Length)];
i++;
}
return new string(buffer);
}
I am trying to tack S to the end of myChars so that I will get myChars1, myChars2, or myChars3 randomly but it's not working. How could I achieve this? Any suggestions is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

not informative.

again, not informative. you've told that already. is it compiling? is it running without exceptions? are the results not what you hoped for?
A random number generator generates seemingly arbitrary numbers; it starts at some value, which depends on the seed you give it, or the current time. Your loop creates a new instance of class Random on each iteration, they will all run with the same initial value (as your program will last less than 1 millisecond), so there isn't much randomness at all.
Suggestion: create one and only one instance of Random and keep using it over and over.

If you're using a multitude of Random() objects, how will you give them arbitrary seeds? with another Random perhaps? And what would be the point of all that?
|
|
|

|
|
Right. I think that is well beyond the scope of this thread though.

Hi Luc, thanks for replying. The compiler is saying that myChars in the following line
buffer[i] = myChars + S[myRandNum.Next(myChars + S.Length)];
does not exist in the current context.
It's probably something simple and I'm scouring my book and the web for an answer.

You're not going to find an answer.
Where did you define myChars?? It's nowhere in the code snippet you posted.
|
|
|
|
|
The compiler is right. (It usually is, you'll get used to that).
There is no variable called myChars declared anywhere in your code.
And you can't concatenate parts of a variable name like that, you need a completely different approach to get what you want. You might store the three strings in a string array, then use a random index into that array.
