Thank you for your reply Eddy.
Actually I had already tried this approach but I cannot get the "System.Windows.Forms" using directive not grayed. The event on clicked item method is likned to SelectedItemChanged PropertyThis might be for you a basic issue to deal with?
Consequently I get an error message about a missing definition for "SelectedNode" property.
Here is my method:
private void StateTreeView_SelectedItem(object sender, RoutedPropertyChangedEventArgs<object> e)
{
//SelectedItemName.Text = Convert.ToString(StateTreeView.SelectedItem);
SelectedItemName.Text = StateTreeView.SelectedNode;
}

If it is gray that means it is not used.

Not really; only difference is that it fires when the selected node changes, instead of a mouse-click.

..ah, I was assuming the Windows Forms treeview. Seems like you are using WPF.
You don't want to mix those two if you are a beginning programmer. I don't have much experience with WPF, but there's an article on exactly that specific subject here[^]

Thank you for your help.
I will give a look to that project and see what could be useful for my application.

If you want the "name" of "SelectedNode", then it's:
StateTreeView.SelectedNode.Name
(Name is a "property" of SelectedNode).

I have opened a project of mine and promptly stumbled over an old sin: A virtual method call in a constructor. The project involves a DIY UI that runs in a 3D engine and the virtual method call is needed in the constructor of the controls.
It works like a charm, but calling a virtual method in a constructor may cause trouble and I want to get rid of the warning. If you want to take a look: Video clickbait[^]
The problem is that I can't find a way around that virtual method when initializing the properties of a control. I can only do that in the constructor because the view layout is loaded from XAML, like this:
<cLoginView Id="LoginView" Width="405" Height="83" DockStyle="ADAPT"
xmlns="clr-namespace:FoC.MemPraeUserModule.Presentation;assembly=MemPraeUserModule"
xmlns:foc="clr-namespace:FoC.Praetor4UI.Controls;assembly=Praetor4UI"
xmlns:fpd="clr-namespace:FoC.Praetor4UI.DataObjects;assembly=Praetor4UI"
xmlns:fpt="clr-namespace:FoC.Praetor4UI.Theme;assembly=Praetor4UI"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<foc:cPraeLabel Id="LblLoginName" PositionX="5" PositionY="17" Width="75" Height="20" Text="Login Name:" />
<foc:cPraeTextbox Id="TbLoginName" PositionX="85" PositionY="15" Width="313" Height="25" />
<foc:cPraeImageButton Id="BtnListAccounts" Image="Button_128" PositionX="270" PositionY="45" Width="128" Height="22" Text="List My Accounts" LeftButtonClicked="BtnListAccounts_LeftButtonClicked"/>
<foc:cPraeListview Id="LvServers" Style="ServerList" PositionX="85" PositionY="85" Width="313" Height="150" />
<foc:cPraeLabel Id="LblPasswd" PositionX="5" PositionY="242" Width="75" Height="20" Text="Password:" />
<foc:cPraeTextbox Id="TbPasswd" PositionX="85" PositionY="240" Width="313" Height="25" PasswordCharacter="x" />
<foc:cPraeImageButton Id="BtnLogin" Image="Button_128" PositionX="137" PositionY="275" Width="128" Height="22" Text="Login" LeftButtonClicked="BtnLogin_LeftButtonClicked"/>
<foc:cPraeImageButton Id="BtnCancel" Image="Button_128" PositionX="270" PositionY="275" Width="128" Height="22" Text="Cancel" LeftButtonClicked="BtnCancel_LeftButtonClicked"/>
</cLoginView>
When a control is loaded this way, the constructor must do the following things before the properties are set by the XAML parser:
1) Set the default value for each property
2) Set the values from a control style, if one has been defined
3) Set the values from a named style, if one has been set for this control
The constructor of the base is simple enough:
public cPraeControl()
{
m_oUserInterface = null;
InitializeDefaultProperties();
ControlStyleChanged(cPraeUserInterface.CurrentTheme);
}
Calling InitializeDefaultProperties() ensures that the whole procedure is done for all properties of the topmost derived class, including the inherited ones. The derived controls have no own constructors that could interfere. That's why this works perfectly. I just don't see a way to get around calling InitializeDefaultProperties().
================================================================================
Edit:
I think I got it. It took only a few hours of refactoring, headscratching and debugging. The virtual method call (plus some hidden ones) are gone. Now every control has a proper constructor, like this:
public cPraeTextbox()
{
InitializeDefaultProperties();
SetStyle(GetControlStyle(cPraeUserInterface.CurrentTheme));
}
InitializeDefaultProperties() is now a normal private method that simply sets the default values for the properties, just as SetStyle() now only takes the for the class relevant values from the style object.
The magic happens in GetControlStyle(), which has the hard job of figuring out which styles have to be applied. Thank god for reflection! Since each class in the hierarchy now can find what it needs, there is no more need for constructing the controls top down (= no more virtual calls).
Now I have one control left that does not look right, but that will probably only take some more more debugging.
Thanks for the moral support. I knew you were all with me. Silently.

Hi everybody,
Could someone help me with the issue mentionned in the title?
I get NULLReference exception at line "EqtLevel2[] eqtlevel2 = EqtListDataBase.GetSetOfEqtLevel2(eqtlevel1[i]);" when running the code below.
Thank you for your answers.
RV
public TreeViewItem BuildTreeView ()
{
TreeViewItem TreeView = new TreeViewItem();
EqtLevel2[] eqtlevel2;
//EqtLevel3[] eqtlevel3;
EqtLevel1[] eqtlevel1 = EqtListDataBase.GetSetOfEqtLevel1(_eqtlist);
for (int i = 0; i < eqtlevel1.Length; i++)
{
TreeViewItem ParentItem = new TreeViewItem() { Header = eqtlevel1[i].EqtLevel1Name };
EqtLevel2[] eqtlevel2 = EqtListDataBase.GetSetOfEqtLevel2(eqtlevel1[i]);
for (int j = 0; j < eqtlevel2.Length; j++)
{
/*TreeViewItem Child2Item = new TreeViewItem() { Header =
eqtlevel2[j].EqtLevel2Name };
eqtlevel3 = EqtListDataBase.GetSetOfEqtLevel3(eqtlevel2[j]);
for (int k = 0; k < eqtlevel3.Length; k++)
{
TreeViewItem Child3Item = new TreeViewItem() { Header =
eqtlevel3[k].EqtLevel3Name};
Child2Item.Items.Add(Child3Item);
}
ParentItem.Items.Add(Child2Item);
*/
}
TreeView.Items.Add(ParentItem);
}
return TreeView;
}

Use your debugger. I'm going to guess that your index is out of range, and that there is no data at eqtlevel1[i].

Than you for your reply Eddy.
I will try to provide additional data concerning the issue I'm dealing with.
I have a root List called "eqtlist" which is composed of items called eqtlist1. Each eqtlist1 contains itself another List (eqtlist2). And each eqtlist 2 is composed of items called eqtlist3.
The idea is to build a treeview containing the details of that implementation. For that purpose, I need to access individually each item of that collection in order to get its name which will be displayed as an item of the treeview.
All this information is stored in a library called EqtListDataBase. My code allows me to access the first (eqtlist) and the second (eqtlevel1) levels. But when trying to go further, I get the NullReference error.

Which you need to investigate; one of those objects you are referencing on that line does not exist. Meaning it results in "null" and not in an object you expect.
Taking the usual suspects, "EqtListDataBase" could throw such an exception, but is probably initialized correctly, otherwise it would have crashed sooner. If the length of the array was incorrect, is would have crashed on the previous line.
What is the method called "GetSetOfEqtLevel2" returning? An array?

Yes, GetSetOfEqtLevel2 returns an array of eqtlevel2.
By running step by step the application in the console mode, I've pointed out that the issue comes from the eqtlevel2 items which dont have eqtlevel3 elements.
Lets consider the following example:
eqtlist: 2 items of type eqtlevel1 {eqtlevel1a and eqtlevel1b}
eqtlevel1a: 3 items of type eqtlevel2 {1a.eqtlevel2.1; 1a.eqtlevel2.2 and 1a.eqtlevel2.3}
1a.eqtlevel2.1: 1 item of type eqtlevel3 {1a.2.1.eqtlevel3}
eqtlevel1b: 1 item of type eqtlevel2 {1b.eqtlevel2.1}
In such a case the application will display the NullReference error when trying to get objects of type eqtlevel3 for 1b.eqtlevel2.1 since it hasn't any sublevel item.
Now the problem is slightly different. How I can prevent this error when reaching objects which have not sublevel items since the same method has to be applied whitout knowing in advance the content of the pointed objects?
Thank again for your availability.

The problem seems to be solved by putting the block:
if(eqtlevel2 !=null)
{
foreach (EqtLevel2 eqtl2 in eqtlevel2)
{
Console.WriteLine(eqtl2.EqtLevel2Name);
}
}
Console.ReadLine();
ahead of the incriminated line.
Thank you again.

Hahaha; yes, I was looking at the wrong line; it is not the line that you state that goes wrong, but the line after that;
EqtLevel2[] eqtlevel2 = EqtListDataBase.GetSetOfEqtLevel2(eqtlevel1[i]);
for (int j = 0; j < eqtlevel2.Length; j++) If your eqtlevel2 is null, then it is not possible to fetch its "Length" property. That would be the source of the nullreference-exception, and the stacktrace should reflect that.
Instead of having a check whether or not the method returns null, I'd prefer the method to return an empty array or list instead of null. That way you can enumerate it even if it is empty, without having to check if it is null or not.

This is one of the most common problems we get asked, and it's also the one we are least equipped to answer, but you are most equipped to answer yourself.
Let me just explain what the error means: You have tried to use a variable, property, or a method return value but it contains null - which means that there is no instance of a class in the variable.
It's a bit like a pocket: you have a pocket in your shirt, which you use to hold a pen. If you reach into the pocket and find there isn't a pen there, you can't sign your name on a piece of paper - and you will get very funny looks if you try! The empty pocket is giving you a null value (no pen here!) so you can't do anything that you would normally do once you retrieved your pen. Why is it empty? That's the question - it may be that you forgot to pick up your pen when you left the house this morning, or possibly you left the pen in the pocket of yesterdays shirt when you took it off last night.
We can't tell, because we weren't there, and even more importantly, we can't even see your shirt, much less what is in the pocket!
Back to computers, and you have done the same thing, somehow - and we can't see your code, much less run it and find out what contains null when it shouldn't.
But you can - and Visual Studio will help you here. Run your program in the debugger and when it fails, VS will show you the line it found the problem on. You can then start looking at the various parts of it to see what value is null and start looking back through your code to find out why. So put a breakpoint at the beginning of the method containing the error line, and run your program from the start again. This time, VS will stop before the error, and let you examine what is going on by stepping through the code looking at your values.
But we can't do that - we don't have your code, we don't know how to use it if we did have it, we don't have your data. So try it - and see how much information you can find out!

Thank you for your reply OriginalGriff.
I've provided additional details in the messages above.
It seems that the problem has just been solved.
I've written the following line for preventing the application for execution the incriminated line by putting the following instruction:
if(eqtlevel2 !=null)
{
foreach (EqtLevel2 eqtl2 in eqtlevel2)
{
Console.WriteLine(eqtl2.EqtLevel2Name);
}
}
Console.ReadLine();
Thank you again.

Hi guys, I have a question about Microsoft Report Viewer C #. So my problem is this: I have a report generated with the previous version of the report viewer, now I have updated the current version of the report viewer, but now when I modify a report this xmlns is set with the report version 2016, The problem is that it does not work! how do I make sure the xmlns link does not update?

Bit of a long winded question I'm afraid.
I have an app which sends data to an open document displayed by an app such as Word, using a simple paste operation. This requires that I locate the handle of the window associated with the document. The user configures the file location of the application that displays the document, and the file location of the document.
Obtaining the window handle is usually quite easy using something like this:
using (var searcher = new System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT ProcessId, ExecutablePath FROM Win32_Process"))
{
using (var results = searcher.Get())
{
foreach (System.Management.ManagementObject item in results)
{
string ExecutablePath = (string)item["ExecutablePath"];
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(ExecutablePath) && (ExecutablePath == _destinationApplication.DestinationApplicationPath))
{
int processID = (int)(uint)item["ProcessId"];
System.Diagnostics.Process process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessById(processID);
if ((process != null) && process.MainWindowTitle.Contains(documentTitle))
{
return process.MainWindowHandle;
}
}
}
}
}
Unfortunately Microsoft Word is a pain as one instance manages multiple open documents. Calling GetWindowText() on the main window handle gets the name of one document. Using Spy to look at the window tree for Word shows that none of the child windows store the name of the other document as the window text, even though I can see the name of the document displayed by a window.
So, how do I locate the handle of the window in which the second document is displayed?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately that does not work as I cannot reliably identify which window belongs to the target document. And yes I do already use that method to enumerate through the child windows.

I have a table in SQL DB as such:
tblSoftwareCount with
3 Columns shown below for example with no identity (ID)Column:
Software, Count, Domain
Ms office| 1 | MSCom
I need help with C# code that will go and only delete the rows in the "tblSoftwareCount"
with the Column (Domain)(Value "MSCom")
So if the tblSoftwareCount had 100 records, I need the C# windows form code to only
delete the rows that have the Column (Domain) (Value "MSCom")
So something like
var Domain = labelDname.Text;
{
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("DELETE values ( Domain = labelDname.Text where Domain ....
Something to that effect. I need to pull the value from the labelDname.Text to include in the sql query used to delete the rows in the tblSoftwareCount in the Sql Sever Database.

DELETE
FROM tblWhatsitsName
WHERE Columname = @value You set the condition in SQL. Use a parameterized query, Google has examples

HI, i have a report viewer use dataparameter to filter data, please help me refresh it, no need close form.

Just fetch the data again. Which report-viewer? The one from MS? Does that even support changing data whilst viewing?

hi. thanks you! i use reportview of MS, i use dataset to bind into reportviewer. i need only close the form and open again that can refresh new dataset but it is not best for user, can you help me rebind dataset directly in this form, maybe refresh by another button such as refresh button. Thanks
|
|
|
|
|
Again, does the report-control support that scenario?
Do you have a small application to test that? If not, I suggest you start there. "Not closing" the form could be done by clearing all the controls on it and creating them again; would still mean that the form is repainting and flashing.
A report is usually a "print-preview", and that is not something that is usually updated on the fly, as it needs to be rendered anew by the printer-driver.
