How can I map a class to a table that has two primary keys, I have a table called Region that has two primary keys, RegionID and DistrictID, here is my code: can someone tell me what I am missing? Thanks

Class Region
{
[Key, Display(Name = "RegionID")]
public int RegionID {get;set;}

[Key, Display(Name = "DistrictID")}
public int DistrictID {get;set;}

.....

}

A table can't have two primary keys; do you mean that the key includes both columns?
And which framework/ORM are you using?

You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Yes, it's a primary that has two columns, RegionID and DistrictID

That's a compound primary key; RegionID and DistrictID aren't primary keys, they are foreign keys - if the combination uniquely identifies a record, then the combination of both fields is the primary key.

What? That can't be. A table has only one primary key.

First we need to clarify what you mean with "two primary keys". Is it a rpimary key which consists of both "RegionID" and "DistrictID"? Or did you calculate an extra value from those data and make that your primary key?
Or is it actually one foreign key and one primary key?
Or something else?

Thanks, can you provide a simple code? Thanks

public int RegionID {get;set;}

// then what I should define here
public int DistrictID {get;set;}

You haven't stated what database you're using or whether you are using an ORM (which it looks like you are), and if so which one.

Personally I never use ORMs, so I can't advise I'm afraid.

public class Region
{
    [Key, Column(Order = 0)]
    public int RegionId { get; set; }

    [Key, Column(Order = 1)]
    public int DistrictId { get; set; }
}

That is, assuming you're using EF; you still did not specify which mapper you are using. I'd also like to recommend an artificial key, and to decorate your compound key with a unique-constraint. Having a single attribute to identify a record makes life a bit easier when having to reference a specific record.

Multiple cmd processes

Member 1095341617-Jul-14 3:55

17-Jul-14 3:55

Hi all,

I use a certain command/process which i run in the command line. After it is started, it'll keep polling until i hit Ctrl-C. I use the command in multiple cmd windows (it's used for multiple directories).

Now i want to create a little C# program which is shown in the Windows toolbar where the user can create new processes of it (multiple), can manage to 'stop' (ctrl-c) a certain process, etc.

But somehow i cannot get this to work, especially the 'multiple' part. I cannot create multiple command windows with different commands, which i can manage afterwards (by ID or so).

I tried the solution of this thread: Starting cmd.exe in console application in different window.[^]

However, in that example you can only give 1 command - so the Ctrl-C cannot happen at a later stage.

Is this possible in C#? And if not, which language can do this?

Sorry for my poor english.

Since your application is starting the external processes, it's simple: all you have to do is keep a reference to teh Process object you used to start it, and then use SendKeys:

StartProcess("Notepad.exe");
    }

private Process notePad;

private void StartProcess(string p)
    {
    notePad = new Process();
    notePad.StartInfo.FileName = p;
    notePad.Start();
    }

[DllImport("User32.dll")]
static extern int SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr point);

private void butSendDataToNotepad_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    IntPtr hWnd = notePad.MainWindowHandle;
    SetForegroundWindow(hWnd);
    SendKeys.SendWait(tbDataToSend.Text);
    }

Thank you for your reply.

I tried your suggestion with a little test. So far it worked, i was able to create 2 separate cmd.exe processes and was able to send commands to it any time i wanted. However, the windows of the cmd.exe processes where all open, and got focus if it wrote a command in it. When i tried to hide the windows with this:

this.process.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;

It didn't work anymore. The problem is here i think that the combination of 'SetForegroundWindow' and'SendKeys' will need an active window - it simulates user input, so it needs an active window which isn't hidden to send keys to it.

Is there some way to hide it? The user must not be able to see the cmd.exe processes, it should all just run in the background.

We do not do your homework: it is set for a reason. It is there so that you think about what you have been told, and try to understand it. It is also there so that your tutor can identify areas where you are weak, and focus more attention on remedial action.

Try it yourself, you may find it is not as difficult as you think!

In this case, a simple Google would find you all the answers: it found me this straight away.
