you can easily do it with the <color="blue">switch statement ( it is really an equivalent to Select Case , just have to modify it slightly to tell if it's a + value or not, here's a simple example i made.
C#:
<font color="blue">private</font> <font color="blue">void</font> val() <br> { <br> <font color="#0000FF">int</font> x =-1; <br> <font color="#0000FF">switch</font>(x.CompareTo(0)<0) <br> { <br> <font color="#0000FF">case true</font>: <br> MessageBox.Show("the value is less than zero!"); <br> <font color="#0000FF">break</font>; <br> <font color="#0000FF">case false</font>: <br> MessageBox.Show("the value is greater than zero!"); <br> <font color="#0000FF">break</font>; <br> } <br> } <br>
hope it helps to understand the switch statement a bit more

This is not exactly equivalent though.
In the original code, the test is '< 0' and '> 0'. Your code is '< 0' and '>= 0', causing an inneficiency when x==0 (not that the original code was very efficient to begin with!)
If you wanted to preserve the logic of the original test with a switch statement, you would need to properly qualify the test if a trinary operator:
switch (x < 0 ? -1 : x > 0 ? 1 : 0)
{
case -1:
...
case 0:
...
case 1:
...
}Hope that helps to understand how refactoring needs good test cases!

Why don't you use switch ()

I'm writing a small app for my own use (mostly to play with an XML datastore) I'm trying to add a node to the xml document. This works fine, except that it keeps on adding an empty xmlns attribute to the new nodes. Is there anyway of stopping this?
I am contructing the xml node from a string
<NewNode>
<DataNode />
</NewNode>
and inporting it into the xml document like this.
<br />
xmlContactsList["Root"].AppendChild(NewNode);<br />
But the result I keep getting is
<doctype tag>
<Root>
<NewNode xmlns="">
<DataNodes />
</NewNode>
</Root>Is there anyway of getting rid of the xmlns attribute? The root node already has the correct value for this.

i have a form which includes search parameters at the top.
i want the datagrid to begin directly under the search fields.
the data grid needs to stretch from left to right no matter what size the form is, but i do not want to dock it to the bottom.
when i dock it to the bottom, then maximize, there is a big gap between the datagrid and the search fields.
is there any way to align the top of the data grid to a point, and still make it stretch from left to right no matter what the size of the form is?

If you're working in the VS.Net forms designer, set the Dock property to None, then set the Anchor property to all sides.
If you're hand coding, do it like this:
dataGrid.Dock = DockStyle.None;
dataGrid.Anchor = (((System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Top | System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Bottom)
| System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Left)
| System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Right);

Hi Folks,
How can I access system properties so that my app will match the appearance of the User's setting? Particularly after Fonts and colours.
Thanks,

Are you simply interesting in persisting user settings which you can load when the application starts and saving them when it ends?

Hi Nick,
No - I am after the system settings that can be set under the Appearance tab of the Display Properties (rightclick desktop).

How can I hide the Horiz scroll bar
public myClass : DataGrid
{
public myClass() : base()
{
this.HorizScrollBar.Visible = false;
}
doesnt do anything?

How do you indicate a default property or is that not possible and the toString is assumed?

There's no such thing as a default property in the same way as there is with VB(.NET or otherwise). Even ToString() isn't that. Come to think of it, ToString() isn't even a property, it's a method. I don't mean that to sound patronising, but it is an important distinction in C#.
Some functions will receive an object and use ToString() beause it's one of the few methods / properties available to everything deriving from object. But that's not the same thing as what I think you're asking about.
The function still has to call ToString() explicitly, while a VB "default property" is something used in the absense of a property. Default properties make for very confusing code sometimes (for very little gain, IMO) and C# is attempting to avoid that.
However, albeit in a completely different context, there are such things as Default Properties in C#: as in the property that is selected by default when a control is selected.
By your mention of ToString(), I don't think that's what you're looking for. If it is then I apologise and either I or someone else will explain that

Well my whole reasoning is that I have classes tied to a data grid and inside this class lies other objects. Is there a way I can tell the datagrid for this object I wil grab "abc" property or method?
That was myh reasoning not really a default but it pulls the
public override string ToString() method by default and thats how I synchronized the data but is there ways up specifying other properties or methods?

Well, this kind of thing is exactly what overriding ToString() is for: "How would you disply this object in String Format?" So a datagrid can say "I can only deal with display strings - so how has the developer told me to handle this object?".
If it works then I can't think of a single reason to try to do it another way. It's certainly not a hack, if that's what you're thinking; it's the sensible way of handling it. If you have a specific reason for wanting to do it differently then there probably is a way.
Give a simple example of what you're trying to do, if possible.

CustomerList : IBindingList
here I implemented this class and this adds Customer objects
CUstomer : IEditableObject
This is the customer class
inside is
private CVendor objVendor;
public CVendor Vendor
{
get { return objVendor; }
set { objVendor = value; }
}
And what I did was created a class that inherits the DataGrid and assinged a customer tab le style
I want to display Vendor.Name property
but when I tie this property it gives the default toString which is ACS.Vendor (namespace:class)
so I overrided the ToString()
what I would like is a way to map inside my column directly to custom properites within a class
thanks for the help

here is what i have and what is happening. I have a main form then another form opens when user clicks the add button. on this form when you add the new information an error check is suppose to run. my problem is i need the error check to stop running and leave the focus on the 2nd form to show where the error is. instead it wants to go back to the main form and finish executing the code that was started when the 2nd form opened! any suggestions thanks

try using a try/catch block on the code in question
I'm not an expert yet, but I play one at work. Yeah and here too.
|
|
|
|

that is not quite what i am looking to do. i believe a try catch is for debugging your own code sort of.....i need am trying to throw messages to the user if there input is wrong. thanks for the help though
|
|
|
|
|
well its about validation just because you use a try catch doesnt mean you do or dont have to throw a message. Obciously if there is an error you need to catch it and determine what is wrong and how to resolve the issue

try opening the form like this
Form2 fm2 = new Form2();
Form2.ShowDialog();
