Hi. Is there a way to convert html to chm file programmatically using C# WinForms?

Hi guys. I need suggestions on C# projects that are not too hard but not too simple since it might be not pleasant for our professor. My group mates and I need to do an object oriented program/system and we cannot think of anything as of now since we are not really good at programming. Anyway, your suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

Is this for a computer science course of some description? If I were looking to do something like this, I'd pick something that interests me and look at writing a project based on that. The reason for this is simple - if it's something I'm interested in, then I already have some knowledge about the topic. That makes it easier for me to design the application.

Not exactly, it's an information technology course. I really cannot think of anything as of now and we need to pass a proposal on Wednesday. I was thinking of a payroll system but it's too hard for us without any guide or help at all

Remember that you are the team who have to write the code - we aren't going to do it for you, so anything you write has to be something you know and understand. What are your interests? Are you mad about morris dancing? Do you jitter with joy at crochet work? What do you do for fun?

I know  I was thinking of tracking system/program like what delivery companies have or an information system that lists employees and tracks their attendance. Are they applicable to be object oriented? That's my problem as of now since the project we need to pass has to be object-oriented coded.

Address book, Password keeper, Home inventory, Money tracker ...
Use the best guess

So I was thinking of creating an information system.
Modules would be:
-Employee List
-Attendance Tracking (how many absents or leaves)
-Time in and out
-Employee Information
- ???
I really cannot think properly as of now, forgive me. Is it good or bad?

Sounds like a good idea to me, but it all depends on what your professor is expecting.

This is your first projects. So you don't need to include many modules. What ever you listed is more than enough. You need to concentrate more on the functionality, the way project is structured. Try and use latest technologies. For example - Choose appropriate framework(like MVC, if it is web based), Use ORM like Entity framework.

Does it have to be boring?

Ooh, that's a great idea. A database that links drill bits to screw sizes and wall plugs, taking into account whether or not you need to use masonry bits.

The OP did say it was for school.

..and the prof has no bloody idea of what might be appropriate for someone with your level of expertise? Does the prof need a hand in Googling?
There's a "starter kit" for timesheets available from Microsoft.

Work on sth which have database (not advanced).
it can be find on Customers lists/info, Advanced Phone Address Book, Basic windows utilities or sth like that.
also in this Projects if you add a simple compute you can be BEST!
also i prefer using WPF for good style if you can.

Implement a game.
Most games are well defined, which will make it easier than an open-ended project like an inventory system. They're also more fun.
Games also range from simple card games to Monopoly or chess. Pick one at an appropriate level.

No one really agrees just what "object oriented" means, other than that objects are involved.
Anyway, please don't declare things like i or k as fields. The general guideline "variables should be declared in the tightest possible scope" is, of course, just a guideline, however it exists for good reasons. Code such as this, with i's and k's all over the place (and even a definition of i that hides the outer one) is harder to reason about. I had to read all of the code to find out that you really weren't sneakily using them somewhere before resetting them. And there was really no reason not to follow the guideline here, as far as I can tell.

 +5 just for reading through that.

That would give you an example, but it's not said that the example would help in determining whether the next class you encounter is OO or not. It's more efficient to research the difference between non-OO and OO-code.
Non OO-code in C# (procedural code translated to C#)
static class X
{
public static void Method1(string arg1, int arg2, bool arg3, bool arg4)
{
}
public static void Method2(int arg2, bool arg4)
{
}
public static bool AllBoolArgsTrue(bool arg3, bool arg4)
{
return ((true == arg3) && (true == arg4));
}
}Take note that it's a list of procedures that you can call, along with some parameters, without instantiating the object. The proper OO-version of this code would look similar to the code below;
class X
{
string arg1;
int arg2;
bool arg3;
bool arg4;
public X(string arg1, int arg2, bool arg3, bool arg4)
{
}
public void Method1()
{
}
public void Method2()
{
}
public bool AllBoolArgsTrue()
{
return ((true == this.arg3) && (true == this.arg4));
}
}The example might suck, but it shows clearly why we prefer OO-code; it's more readable, and hence, easier to maintain. Instead of passing a variable to each method of the class, we pass it to the object. Stuff that belongs together is grouped together - and each object becomes an easy testable black-box. No more spaghetti-code!
This would be the essence; good OO-code has more features, like inheritance - but one does not "always" require a base-class, it's not a mandatory construction. On the contrary, if it doesn't add anything (beyond complexity) then it should be omitted.

I am loading an assembly as follows:
Assembly assembly = assembly.LoadFile("file.dll");
I am then looping through the types within in and when a particular type is found I want to retrieve a property from it as follows:
Type[] types = null;
types = assembly.GetTypes();
foreach (Type type in types)
{
if(type.Name.ToString().Equals("TYPE"))
{
PropertyInfo proprty = type.GetProperty("PROPERTY", BindingFlags.GetProperty | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance);
}
}
The property is a HashTable but no matter what method I try to obtain the property value i.e GetValue etc I am unable to retrieve it.
I am probably doing something stupid. Can someone give me guidance as to the syntax required to obtain the property and cast it into an actual HashTable value that I can operate on?

First of all, you can't use the type until you instantiate it. Merely retrieving an assembly doesn't have any real effect. Secondly, why not use GetType instead of looping through the types? The following code should demonstrate some of what you need to do.
Assembly assembly = Assembly.LoadFile(@"pathtofile\TestFile.dll");
var type = assembly.GetType("TestFile.MyType");
if (type == null) return;
object instance = Activator.CreateInstance(type);
PropertyInfo propertyInfo = type.GetProperty("MyHashTable",
BindingFlags.GetProperty | BindingFlags.NonPublic |
BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance);
if (propertyInfo != null)
{
object myHashTable = propertyInfo.GetValue(instance, null);
Hashtable ht = (Hashtable) myHashTable;
ht.Add("Hello", "Hello");
}Obviously, you'll want to put a lot more checking in place, but this should give you the basic idea.
