I'm working on a long term project. If I tailored the tool specifically for this project, I could make it work

If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Persists GridView Textbox Value

V.9-Dec-13 20:51

It kinda depends I guess. For example: When you have tables where each record is considered an "object". You should use one class/table. Examples: Persons, tickets, companies, products, ... things like that.

If you have tables that start having calculations or objects that are (complex) joins of tables or where multiple records can makeup one record, you should probably tackle that a little differently.

hope this helps.

c# listview insert not working

I am trying to insert (not add) data to a listview. The listview has 7 cols.
The code I am using is:

ListViewItem item = lvBOM.Items[2];

lvBOM.Items.Insert(2,"Hi");

This code is activated by a button click. The result is that a row is inserted but the word "HI" does not appear.
Full row select is set to true.

Thank you,

I just tried that and it worked fine, is there something else that you are doing?

Thank you for replying.
The app has 2 listviews. The lvBOM listview has 7 cols.
I have supplied test data to all 70 rows in the first col only.
Here is the code for that:

for (int i = 0; i < intRCount; i++)
{
ListViewItem myItem = lvBOM.Items[i];//row
myItem.SubItems[1].Text = "5";//col

}
In the same button_click I followed that code with this code:

ListViewItem item = lvBOM.Items[2];//row

lvBOM.Items.Insert(2,"Hi");

The result is that the row is inserted but the data does not show. This data is test and only used to test the insert function.

I have four rows and three columns in my control. When I press the button it runs the following code:

ListViewItem item = listView1.Items[2];//row
listView1.Items.Insert(2, "Hi");

The row is added, and the word "Hi" appears in column 1. I can only assume that there is something in your code that you have not shown us, which is causing a problem.

Thank you for hanging in there with me..

I just started a new project. In the form load I have the following.
I still cannot get it to work.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
lvBOM.Clear();
lvBOM.Width = 451;

lvBOM.Columns.Add("", 0, HorizontalAlignment.Center);//skip first col
lvBOM.Columns.Add("Level", 40, HorizontalAlignment.Center); //level 1 is base
lvBOM.Columns.Add("Part Number", 100, HorizontalAlignment.Center);
lvBOM.Columns.Add("Description", 250, HorizontalAlignment.Center);
lvBOM.Columns.Add("Qty", 40, HorizontalAlignment.Center);
lvBOM.Columns.Add("", 0, HorizontalAlignment.Center);//InventoryMstrGUID
lvBOM.Columns.Add("", 0, HorizontalAlignment.Center); //InventoryMstrGUIDMAIN

lvBOM.FullRowSelect = true;
lvBOM.View = View.Details;
for (int i = 1; i <= 70; i++)//'initialize rows so grid looks like a grid
{
var lvi = new ListViewItem("");//will add to column(0) not being used
lvi.SubItems.Add("");
lvi.SubItems.Add("");
lvi.SubItems.Add("");
lvi.SubItems.Add("");
lvi.SubItems.Add("");
lvi.SubItems.Add("");
lvBOM.Items.Add(lvi);
}
ListViewItem item = lvBOM.Items[2];//row

lvBOM.Items.Insert(2, "Hi");
}

When you add the new item the text is placed in the first column. But you have chosen to hide that column, so the text never shows. Change the width of that column to something larger than 0 and it will work.

Thank you so much. But I apparently am having a fundamental problem.

ListViewItem item = lvBOM.Items[2];//<<<< this line inserts the row

lvBOM.Items.Insert(2, "Hi");//<<< I thought this line would select the 3rd col since the index is 2.

Column 0 is hidden = 0 index
column 1 is visible = 1 index
column 2 is visible = 2 index

I thought the "HI" would go into the 3rd column which has an index of 2.

What am I missing? How do I do this?

Richard MacCutchan9-Dec-13 7:47

No, you are adding an Item into the second position of the view. You need to set the string into the second subitem position of the item that you add.

I am rather new at listviews so please excuse my ignorance.
I searched for hours on the net before signing up for this forum.

I do not understand why this >> lvBOM.Items.Insert(2, "Hi"); won't work.

What is the '2' if not to place data in the 3rd col?

Can you give sample code?

Nothing wrong with that, we all had to learn at one time. Make good use of the reference pages on MSDN, like the ListView pages[^].

C# XML or Database

I'm looking at trying to make a app. that keeps track of camp-sites for a season. I was wondering if I should go with a full blown database (which I assume cost money) or maybe go with a XML file.

If I went XML I was wondering what would be the best way to do it. All the information in one xml file. Or maybe one xml for each month of the season and keep track that way.

Any input would be great, thanks for taking the time to help a noobie out.

Microsoft offers SQL Server Express[^] or SQL Compact Edition[^], both free. It does depend somewhat on your total requirements.

Not much for requirements, it's just a simple booking system I guess. I really new to C# are programming as a whole, did some PHP a while back. I just wanted to make something that could be useful while I am learning.

Thanks for the info!

Addition to Richard's suggestions, you could choose one more instead of XML. Sqlite[^]

Don't go with XML. There're many advantages(Editor-GUI, Security, Performance, etc.,) if you go with Database.

Just FYI(XML vs Databases), check these

I also used XML for storing some data in some cases.

An advantage: You can manually tell the application which file you want to load (or store to) and keep multiple different versions at the same time without causing any problems. If you're using a database this is getting a bit more difficult. Also if you want to store them in a e.g a Source Control as most Databases store the data in some binary format. You can however easily compare different XML files with each other.

Besides. Database might generally offer better performance but they can also require quite a lot of resources to run. If you don't have lots of data an XML file might still be faster than a database.

Thanks for your suggestion, I will read up on Sqlite
