Well i would say I am the best guy for writing the network component but would be happy to be proven wrong so its hard to disuse formal rolls or requirements at this point in time because I am very open to suggestion and kind of like equal partners myself.
Hidden away from the main forum might be the reason I don't get much of a response I suspect if anything but thank you for your comments !

I have installed C# 2008 express and use a local database to create tables and show the contents in a DataGridView which show a table I have created. My problem is I have two table that are joined and I would like to show a view in the DataGridView is this possible.

Yes, assuming you have two tables which share a common value.
For example, an Invoice would be two tables:
Invoices
ID INT, IDENTITY
Issued DATE
Company NVARCHAR(256)
InvoiceLines
ID INT, IDENTITY
InvoiceID INT, FOREIGN KEY to Invoices.ID
Product NVARCHAR(256)
Value MONEY Then you might retrieve data like this:
SELECT i.ID, i.Date, i.Company, il.Product, il.Value
FROM Invoices i
JOIN InvoiceLines il ON il.InvoiceID = i. ID And you would get the appropriate rows in the DGV
Or
SELECT i.ID, i.Date, i.Company, il.Total
FROM Invoices i
JOIN (SELECT InvoiceID, SUM(Value) AS Total
FROM InvoiceLines
GROUP BY InvoiceID) il
ON il.InvoiceID = i. IDAnd you would get invoice detail and total value

I think you can do this using table joints in a dataset and then binding that and not the table to the grid but it's been a long time since I did this.
Top credit for using an old version of visual studio and I try to stick with using VS2010 because it runs much faster and cleaner than 2017 that I only use when forced too.

Really struggling with these fairly simple thing.
I have some sensor values randomly generated from a class I call Sensor.cs. I use GeAnaloValues() method to get these values and display them in a text box i Form1.cs in the GUI. Now I need to make moving average filter and take moving average of the for example last 5 sensor values displayed on the screen.
I just don't know how to implement these values generated from the method GetAnalogValues() in the moving average algorithm ? 
I also wonder if I should make a separate class for the implementation of the MA-Filter?
This is my code:

My Sensor class where I generate my random values:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace DAQ_Simulator
{
public class Sensor
{
double AnalogVal;
int DigVal;
int sId;
Random rSensVal;
Random digSensVal;
public Sensor(int id)
{
sId = id;
rSensVal = new Random(id);
digSensVal = new Random(id);
AnalogVal = 0.0F;
}
public double GetAnalogValue(double minAnalogVolt=0.00F,double maxAnalogVolt=1.00F)
{
if(minAnalogVolt <= AnalogVal && AnalogVal<= maxAnalogVolt)
AnalogVal = rSensVal.NextDouble();
return AnalogVal;
}
public int GetDigitalValue(int digMin = 0, int digMax = 1)
{
DigVal = digSensVal.Next(0,2);
return DigVal;
}
public int GetSensId()
{
return sId;
}
}
}
|
|
|
|
|
For starters, don't use two Random instances:
rSensVal = new Random(id);
digSensVal = new Random(id);
Because they are initialized with the same value, they will have the same sequence - use a single instance (or better a single static instance) and you will get a "more random" set of values. You might want to consider using the parameterless version of the constructor, which uses the system clock as the seed value so it gives a different sequence each time your app runs.
For a moving average, just add an array of values the same size as the group, an index, and a count. This will become a basic queue.
So for five values, you would have five elements:
private double[] samples = new double[5];
private int index = 0;
private int count = 0; Then its just a case of a simple method:
private double GetMovingAverage(double newValue)
{
if (count != samples.Length) count++;
samples[index++] = newValue;
if (index == samples.Length) index = 0;
double sum = 0.0;
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
sum += samples[i];
}
return sum / (double) (count);
}
And you are done.

OriginalGriff, a bit confused in terms how I should implement the code you gave me here to my program?
I am assuming that method GetMovingAverage() shall be in the main class Form1.cs, correct ?
Also I tried to put in your code snippet, but what is newValue here?? Is that my AnalogValues?
I have a series of "random" sensor values every time I click Sampling button.
I tried to do something like this 
private double GetMovingAverage(double AnalogValue)
{
if (count != samples.Length) count++;
samples[index++] = AnalogValue;
if (index == samples.Length) index = 0;
double sum = 0.0;
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
sum += samples[i];
}
return sum / (double)(count);
}
I tried to print the Moving average values here,
for (int id = 0; id < maxAI; id++)
{
double AnalogSensorValues = sObj[id].GetAnalogValue();
sTxt = AnalogSensorValues.ToString("F3");
textSensorValues.Text += sTxt + " ";
txtFilterValues.Text = fTx1;
txtFilterValues.Text = GetMovingAverage(id).ToString("F3");
}
However when I printed to my Filter text box, I got rubbish 
I must have misinterpreted what you meant.
My main problem is I don't know how I get those values inside the moving average.
Any comments ?

You should give your actual Analogue-Value to the Method from OG (as it's parameter) and you will get the Average-Value as Result back from this method.
The Variables 'Count' and 'Samples' and 'Index' must be declared outside this method ...
|
|
|
|
|
Nice, but how about ditching the loop? Just add the newValue to the sum (as a member, not local) each time, then deduct the number which it replaces in the array and you've just reduced the algorithmic complexity.
I know, I'm just in one of those picky moods today.
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

Yeah, but he seems to be a beginner, so I thought I'd make it as obvious as possible.
I'd probably make it a MovingAverage<T> class in my code, and complicate it that way!

Yes I am a beginner
Now I made some slight changes and I am getting average of the last 5 numbers, but still my problems is not solved 
When I generate my Sensor values in the text box , they appear like this:
TimeStamp AI.1 AI.2 AI.3 AI.4 AI.5 AI.6 AI.7
13:29:05.091 0.726 0.249 0.771 0.294 0.816 0.338 0.861
13:30:40.325 0.817 0.111 0.404 0.698 0.991 0.284 0.962
13:31:19.709 0.768 0.467 0.166 0.865 0.564 0.263 0.915
13:32:00.943 0.558 0.772 0.985 0.198 0.412 0.625 0.594
13:32:31.391 0.206 0.658 0.109 0.560 0.012 0.463 0.720
What happens is that program calculates average of the last five numbers in the text box which means in this case Moving Average=(0.109+0.560+0.012+0.463+0.720)/5=0.373.
While the moving average for example for AI.1 would be:(0.726+0.817+0.758+0.558+0.206)/5=0.615
This is obviously Wrong as I am getting average of the values from different sensors.
I need average of the last five values for Sensor AI.1, AI2,....etc
So I need to make some more changes to get this done.
Here is the code I have changed:
No changes to your method:
private double GetMovingAverage(double newVal)
{
if (count != samples.Length) count++;
samples[index++] = newVal;
if (index == samples.Length) index = 0;
double sum = 0.0;
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
sum += samples[i];
}
return sum / (double)(count);
}
The method was implemented like this:
for (int id = 0; id < maxAI; id++)
{
double AnalogSensorValues = sObj[id].GetAnalogValue();
sTxt = AnalogSensorValues.ToString("F3");
textSensorValues.Text += sTxt + " ";
txtFilterValues.Text = fTx1;
txtFilterValues.Text = GetMovingAverage(AnalogSensorValues).ToString("F3");
}

If you want separate moving averages, then you want to set up separate values stores - the array in my code is what you need for a single sensor, for t=five sensors you need five arrays.
The way I would do it is to set up a MovingAverage class, with its own count, index, and array, and move the method to that.
Then in your "main code" you create five instances of the MovingAverage class and use one for each sensor.
Does that make sense? (Remember, I don't know what "level" of beginner you are! )

I am a complete beginner, started with C# like days ago.What you are saying makes sense  , but another thing is how to do it?
What confuses me generally are arrays, I have noticed I find working with those challenging right now.

If you are having difficulty with arrays, then you probably need to shelve this project for a while - a week or two maybe - and focus on learning the basics before you continue to work on it.
Classes, arrays, and so forth are the "Building blocks" of the language, and you really do need to understand them properly before you get much beyond "Hello world!"
If you don't, then you will end up with something that works - probably - but you have no real idea of how or why, and that means that it becomes unmaintainable which is very bad news!
I can't teach you classes - there is far too much for a little text box like this, and I can't see when your eyes start to glaze over - and the only other way to do this is to have arrays of arrays, and several arrays of integers, which gets extremely clumsy and hard to read very, very quickly.
Seriously: go back to your book - or your course - and follow it through. trying to jump ahead to "the interesting stuff" just leaves huge holes in your knowledge that makes more complicated things very difficult to work out.

There is also another way to build this Average without using an array - but the base-problem is the same : it is necessary to know what the code does and how it works.
Independant from this - here is another Code-Solution :
int CountAct = 0;
double ValueLast = 0;
public double getAverage(double actValue, int Smoothing)
{
if (Smoothing < 1)
Smoothing = 1;
CountAct = Math.Min(CountAct + 1, Smoothing);
double myDivider = Math.Max((double)CountAct - 1, 0);
double Result = (ValueLast * myDivider + actValue) / (myDivider + 1);
ValueLast = Result;
return Result;
}
Here you can build an average from as much values you like - you only have to tell the method the smoothing-value you like to have ...

Thanks for the reply. Don't see exactly how this code snippet is gonna solve my exact problem, but thanks anyways .
Original Griff's code for getting the moving average of the last five values works , but problem is as I mentioned that I am getting moving average of last 5 values displayed on the screen and they are from different sensors so that obviously gives undesirable result.
I need to make some sort of array to store my past values for the respective sensors and than apply the GetMovingAverage() on each of the stored arrays.
The thing is I don't know how to do that 
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you could have a dictionary of moving average objects; one for each sensor. It shouldn't be too hard for you to modify Griff's code to do this (hint, each sensor would be a key in the dictionary).

The difference between my Solution and the Solution from OG is that my Solution don't need an Array for building a single Average. Another difference is that the smoothing is variable.
If you want to build also an average from the average of some sensors you need to add the values of the sensor-averages and divide it throught the count of the sensors which are added.
But that was allready mentioned by OG ... where do you stuck there ?
SumAverage := (Sensor_1_Average + Sensor_2_Average + Sensor_3_Average + Sensor_4_Average + Sensor_5_Average) / 5.0 ;
|

Hi, OG's Moving Average works fine. The problem is I am not able to apply it to the proper values.
It should be simple thing to fix, but its not.
As I said in one of the posts above. I get the Moving Average, means I get the average of the last 5 numbers , but I need to get it for each sensor column not row wise as I am currently. See the explanation below.
Ho do I fix that ??
TimeStamp AI.1 AI.2 AI.3 AI.4 AI.5 AI.6 AI.7

You should read carefully what is suggested to you ...
I would say : all what you need is told to you ...
|
|
|
|

A new day and I will try it once more to explain.
The fact is : you don't understand what you got suggested.
The Solution from OG and also the Solution from me builds the "moving Average" from the incoming values from ONE sensor - not from one timestanp.
So - what both Solutions are doing is : take the raw-value of one sensor (that means the incoming actual value) and build an average with the saved/stored values from the same sensor - that means the values before). By this you get a kind of smoothing of the incoming values. The return-value (the result) of the posted method should be stored by you in your table.
I suppose that you completly misunderstood the made Suggestions.
If you now still don't know how to get further you should post your actual method which writes the incoming values in your table (or List or whatever). Perhaps then we could explain you the mistake you make ...

Hi again Ralf and thanks for the patience. I understood what OG's method does in terms of the result I got. My problem is now how do I make this list to store my numbers that get generated by the GetAnalog Method.
I would need to have historical analog values for each Sensor and then apply OG's method on each sensor array or list , whatever is made.
Here is the GetAnalogMethod() from the Sensor.cs class,
public double GetAnalogValue(double minAnalogVolt=0.00F,double maxAnalogVolt=1.00F)
{
if(minAnalogVolt <= AnalogVal && AnalogVal<= maxAnalogVolt)
AnalogVal = rSensVal.NextDouble();
return AnalogVal;
}
In here I call this GetAnalogValue() method to generate "random" analog values for each of my sensor IDs:
for (int id = 0; id < maxAI; id++)
{
double AnalogSensorValues = sObj[id].GetAnalogValue();
sTxt = AnalogSensorValues.ToString("F3");
textSensorValues.Text += sTxt + " ";
txtFilterValues.Text = fTx1;
txtFilterValues.Text = GetMovingAverage(AnalogSensorValues).ToString("F3");
}
If you see above I store all my sensor ID values in a double variable I call AnalogSensorValues.I should have ideally have had a list so that each value gets stored and can be accessed so that GetMoving Average() method can be applied to it.
So yes, that is my problem. Basically sorting these values in a List. This may sound silly, but I don't know how to do it
