I see where you're coming from. Richard's solution below is the best for this particular situation I think as the array doesn't actually need to be in memory all at once. I can simply create the instances as required using yield return directly.
Thanks for your input though, it has helped clarify some of my thinking in regards to iterators and foreach which will be helpful in future, and encouraged me to dig deeper into the whole thing that I previously just took for granted

Another alternative to consider:
public IEnumerator<IMyType> GetEnumerator()
{
yield return new MyType(...);
yield return new MyTypeOther(...);
...
}

Good thinking, much better creating the new IMyTypes as needed. 5d

As was said earlier, there is not much reason to create a custom enumerator these days. The reason for an enumerator is to be able to use the ForEach loop. The Yield statement. Then there is also LINQ, Not sure why you are even bothering with an Enumerator given the alternatives avaialable.

That's why I asked, it felt somewhat unnecessary.

There are many types in the library that are responsible for creating multiple instances of the interface IMyType (the quantity and implementation differs by the type) when required, and all these types need to be able to be passed to one common method so it can iterate over the interface instances - IEnumerable<IMyType> fits this scenario/concept perfectly, what is was designed for IMO.

hey guys , i hav a dll file and i want to add this dll file in my c#.net project reference . i knw ,i can do this by simple clicking,copying and paste but i want to do this through a program.
pls help me
as i ma newbie.
thanks

References don't exist at runtime so you're question doesn't make any sense.
Are you talking about using this .DLL as a "plugin"?? You can try reading this[^].

You can create macro's in Visual Studio, and yes, you can manipulate the IDE from code. However, when would this type of AddIn execute? Probably when the user initiates it, say, by clicking somewhere.
..or are you referring to the "using" group at the top of the file?

I just made a very simple app.
Enter some numbers, click a button, program calculates a result.
I tried to build a "release" version.
Ugh.
I want a simple executable file where the user can click and it runs, without going through an installation procedure.
I have searched here and MSDN for...
"BUILDING A C# APPLICATION THAT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE INSTALLED"
... and I'm finding zero and a little bit less.
This is a simple practice program, 24 instructions, 75 lines total, all just click click and it puts a number on the screen.
What did I miss ? Please tell me this can be done. I want to show my boss that I am capable of doing something; if only a simple thing.

- Code and debug the app.
- Switch the configuration to "Release" and rebuild.
- Give the app's release mode
.exe to your boss to run.

Actually all you have to do is go into the bin\Debug (or what ever folder you want), and pick up the exe from there. The pdb file contains the debug information, and you can actually attach to the process and debug with the pdb containing the symbols.

All applications have dependencies, and .NET application depend on the correct .NET framework to be installed. We're not talking about native code here that you compile, but some kind of portable executable.
If you target-machine has all the prerequisites (correct .NET framework, various service packs) then you could do a simple xcopy and move the executable, as noted by the others.

I have been working on a WPF application and looking for the best way to implement the 'Ok' and 'Cancel' button click functionality in the modal dialog boxes.
The question has two parts:
Part -1:
Currently, I am doing it by creating a copy/clone of the actual object whenever we load the dialog. Later, I perform all the operations on the cloned object in the Modal dialog. If user press 'Ok', i'll assign all the values in the clone object to the actual object. If user press 'Cancel, i'll discard the cloned object and set it to null.
For E.g:
Suppose, I have a class Person
<pre lang="c#">
Class Person
{
public string FirstName {get; set;}
public string LastName {get; set;}
}</pre>
I have another class which holds the list of 'Person'
Class PersonContainer
{
public List<Person> Persons{get; set;}
}
We have a Window class 'PersonViewModel' which has all the things with respect to the view. This class has a ObservableCollection which is bound to a Datagrid in my View and properties 'FirstName and LastName' are bound to the columns of the Datagrid.
The view contains button to 'Add/Remove/Modify' the records and 'Ok' and 'Cancel' button.
suppose we have PersonContainer object 'originalContainer' with 2 records. In the load event of the view, we create a copy/clone of PersonContainer with 2 records. Let's call it as clonedContainer. When we perform any operation(Add/Remove/Modify) through the dialog, we do it on clonedContainer. Once, we are done, on press of 'Ok' button, we just update originalContainer with the clonedContainer. On press of 'Cancel', we discard the 'clonedContainer' and set it to null.
Q: what could be the best way to handle 'Ok' and 'Cancel' in a dialog? Is creating a cloned object right way?
Part 2:
I have to implement the undo/redo of all the actions(Add/Remove/Modify the record) that happened on the Dialog. This has been implemented through the ICommand pattern with Execute/Unexecute methods. Whenever, we add a record, we add it the through the Execute method. However, we use the clonedContainer object and not the real one. In the Unexecute, I am using the 'originalContainer' instance and remove the added Person object. Now, if we perform 'Redo', we need to create the removed 'Person' object. By this time, clonedContainer is no more as it has been destroyed once we close the dialog.
Q: How can we implement undo/redo here?
Thanks in advance!!!

I don't know why you cloned the object, if the collection keeps the current record, you can save the index of it and if cancel is clicked, remove from the collection and only save when the save button is click, here is a small sample, just play with this and see if it can help you.
1-You need to implement commanding in your project (you are already doing it)
2-in your view
link you button to a command in your viewmodel
Example a Save button:
4-remember your imports, this way you can display on the view the message for the user to answer and don't need to clone.

Thanks for the response!
Here I have used Person, PersonContainer and PersonViewModel just for representation. In actual scenario, the object is complex which updates many of its properties on Addition/modification of items in the datagrid. So, saving the index won't serve the purpose as we need the actual values.
Can you elaborate more on the 'imports' mentioned on #4? Still, i believe we need to clone the actual object and work on it. Appreciate, if you can help me a little detailed code.

There is no "right" way, there are only efficient, inefficient and non-compiling implementations. FWIW, I'm doing something similar; I clone the object and throw it in a PropertyEditor. Has a third button that says "reset" that simply clones the original again and uploads it anew in the PropertyEditor. Works well, doesn't have much overhead.
Rags1512 wrote: Q: How can we implement undo/redo here?
An undo/redo is usually limited to the form where one is editing. You'd need the Memento-pattern, saving the internal state of the object every time the user performs an action. Undoing the action is then as simple as fetching the internal state from that point.

Looks like memento pattern is the solution. Let me understand and try it.

Like Eddy said, there is no right or wrong to do it, using observable collections, you could have 2 and a flag, if the record is dirty (meaning that was modify) then in the save event in your viewmodel you just save the record, if cancel was hit and it was dirty then restore from either the db. again (re-read the record) or copy it from the other collection. What I mean with the 'imports' is that the 'Message' needs a import on the viewmodel.

There are essentially two ways to do this. The first is what you've done: copy the object, have the dialog operate on that copy, and update the original if you press OK. The second is rather similar, but instead of having a copy of the base data object to operate on, you operate on a specific data object for the form (i.e. it has properties for the fields that are editable on this form only), and if you press OK you assign all the properties from that data object into the source.
In the second case the data object can actually be the form itself, particularly with WPF's data binding that allows you to have UI controls display numbers, enum choices etc simply. This is normally what I do.
Re undo/redo, you need to save a command when you change the original object, i.e. press OK. Do you need to be able to undo each thing individually? ... I would normally expect 'Edit Object' to end up as a single undo action which is easier (you just have a command which stores the properties that were changed and the previous value, or even the whole before and after states, of the source object). If you do need undo entries for every dialog interaction then you need to have a local command stack within the dialog, and when you save the object you can execute them all in order on the source object and push them onto the global undo stack against that object.

Hi I'd like to run a method of a class calling it using its name in string format. Is it possible using reflection??
Thanks a lot
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Reflection;
namespace testMenu
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Type r = typeof(MyClass);
r.InvokeMember('a',null,null,ob....).
}
}
class MyClass
{
public static void a()
{
Console.WriteLine("Have good time");
}
}

As stated no.
A method belongs to a class.
The class belongs to a namespace.
A class belongs to an assembly.
You must at least know about class/namespace/assembly to call a method.
If the class is in another assembly then you must load the assembly.
Then you must properly access the method.

False – the question has access to the class he wants to look up in and once you've got the Type then you can use reflection on it.

I was wondering what the 1 votes were about....
So tell me - exactly how often have you found it useful to invoke a method of class within the same class?
Myself I would just call the method.
I answered the question for the cases that are actually useful.
