Hi
I need to bind (or dock) a window to the right side of the screen. Also, no other window (from my or another application) show be able to go over it, maximized or not.
How can i do this ?
Thanks

You can just set the location and size of your window based on the current screen dimensions and specify it as a topmost window.
To make sure maximized windows don't extend under it you can use the Windows API to specify the work area of any monitor. The work area specifies the "portion of the screen not obscured by the system taskbar or by application desktop toolbars."
On the primary monitor you will need to make a call to SystemParametersInfo passing SPI_SETWORKAREA and a new rectangle that leaves room for the taskbar and wherever you want to put your window. For a monitor other than the primary one take a look at GetMonitorInfo...

I'm trying to do a quick search on a string array. I'm using IndexOf() but I'm not getting the desired results. I've tried two ways, the first I thought should work, the second is just to prove to you I don't know what I'm doing.
<br />
private int CheckIsDate(string ColumnName)<br />
{<br />
string strDate = "Date";<br />
int position = strDate.IndexOf(ColumnName);<br />
return position;<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
private int CheckIsCurrency(string ColumnName)<br />
{<br />
string[] strCurrency = {"Amount","Cost"};<br />
int position = -1;<br />
foreach (string s in strCurrency)<br />
{<br />
if (s.IndexOf(ColumnName) == -1)<br />
{<br />
<br />
}<br />
else<br />
{<br />
position = 0;<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
return position;<br />
<br />
}<br />
This should be simple right?

Oops, was asuming more was better.
I just want to know if my string exists in the array. In the debugger I can see that it does exist.
For example. I have a column named Amount billed. The strings in my array are {"Amount","Cost"}. I am using IndexOf to search the ColumnName for one of the strings in the array.
It doesn't find "Amount" for some reason.
Thanks

It should work. maybe it something else your doing
int iCOunt = -1;
foreach ( string s in strCurrency )
{
iCount++;
if ( s.IndexOf(ColumnName) != -1 )
return iCount;
}

No, I had it backwards. I was looking to see if s existed in ColumnName. so I needed to put ColumnName.IndexOf(s) instead of s.IndexOf(ColumnName).
Such is life.

I think what you're asking is to see if a particular string is in an array of strings. Use this:
public bool ExistsInArray(string s, string[] sList)
{
foreach (string item in sList)
{
if (item == s) return true;
}
return false;
}
In other words, check all strings in the list to see if the one I want is there. If it is, exit immediately I find it, returning true. If I fall through the loop, having checked all strings in the list, return false.

but if you do "==" arent you just comparing the instances and not the value
s.Equals(ColumnName)
|
|
|
|
|
No. The == operator for strings is overridden to compare the actual string contents.

well cool
I'm not an expert yet, but I play one at work. Yeah and here too.

I need to count the number of new lines(\n) in a string.
I thought about using regular expressions, but I do not really understand them very well. .NET also does not provide a way to get this information. The only other way I can think of doing it is writing a function to count them through other string functions, if there is a faster or better way to do it I would really like to know.

Check out the StringReader class. You could do something like:
public static int CountLinesInString(string str)
{
System.IO.StringReader strR = new System.IO.StringReader(str);
string temp = strR.ReadLine();
int count = 0;
while(temp != null)
{
count++;
temp = strR.ReadLine();
}
return count;
}
This would count the lines in the string. But this might not be exactly what you are looking for if you want an exact count of the character '\n'.
Hope this helps,
Nathan

Hmmm... what's a signature?

Actually the StringReader class will work better for what I want to do. Thanks for pointing me to it.

No problem... I am glad I could help.

I'd say keep it simple and direct:
public int CountNewLines(string s)
{
int result = 0;
foreach (char c in s)
{
if (c == '\n') result++;
}
return result;
}

C#:
<font color="blue">private</font> <font color="blue">void</font> button6_Click(<font color="blue">object</font> sender, System.EventArgs e) <br> { <br> <font color="#0000FF">int</font> x="some\nstuff\nwith\nnewlines\nin".Split('\n').getupperbound(0);<font color="DarkGreen"> <br></font> MessageBox.Show(x.ToString()); <br> }
that gives you the amount of \n in the string

Check this out...
private void buttonProgress_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
string byteFile2=this.textBoxActiveData.Text;
<big>this.timer2.Tick += new System.EventHandler</big>(this.timer2_Tick);
FileInfo myFileInfo = new FileInfo(byteFile2);
long lSize = myFileInfo.Length;
string gNiggas=lSize.ToString();
seconds=lSize/350;
}
on the Event Handler line, what is the += doing?
here is what it is calling...
protected void timer2_Tick (object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
this.timer2.Start();
int f=1;
int p=1;
for(f=1; f<20; f++)
{
p++;
if(f==19)
{
f=200;
this.timer2.Stop();
MessageBox.Show(f.ToString());
}
progressBar.Value=p;
}
progressBar.Value=0;
}
anyways... the problem is...
I can run the timer2_Tick once. But when I click on the button again it won't go... what is stopping it from re executing?

This line: this.timer2.Stop();
You need to start the timer again in buttonProgress_Click. Also move
this.timer2.Tick += new System.EventHandler(this.timer2_Tick);
line to the constructor or any place where it will run only once.

I don't understand what you want me to do with ....
this.timer2.Tick += new System.EventHandler(this.timer2_Tick);
/\ |_ E X E GG

|

|

you need to put :
this.timer2.Tick += new System.EventHandler(this.timer2_Tick);
in an area like the "#region Windows Form Designer generated code" is what Alexandre was trying to say. then the timer will always work when you click the button
