D is a programming language that was designed as a successor to C/C++, but to include such things as garbage collection, design by contract, lightweight objects, RAII, compiles to native code, etc, etc. Think of a mix between C# and C++, leaning towards C++. It has some very interesting concepts.
It's designed and implemented by Walter Bright, a C/C++ compiler implementor from way back (I remember his company Zortech, later Zorland).

Conclusions: C++ has better performance in some areas, and C# has better performance in others, and there are a few places that Java outperforms C# and/or C++, but on the whole C# has better performance than Java. C++ starts up faster than C#, and C# has a number of new, modern language features.

is it possible to loop through each row of a dataset table, and populate the new column based on another column in the same row?
i have a Contacts class, and a Message Center class. Each get their information from completely different databases, and reference only by the ContactID. ( the messages table in its database only has a contactid field .. not a contact name field )
The constructor of the Contact class takes the ContactID as the argument.
I want to create a dataset of the last 50 messages and have the Contact Name in the same data set.
for example:
<br />
. . . . . . . .<br />
string sql = "SELECT ContactID,Message from Messages ORDER BY MessageID DESC LIMIT 50";<br />
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(sql,con);<br />
ds = new DataSet();<br />
da.Fill(ds,"Messages");<br />
<br />
ds.Tables["Messages"].Columns.Add("ContactName");<br />
Now how would I iterate through each row of the Messages.ContactID table, and populate the Messages.ContactName field of the same row ?
I hope I made sense =/ .. Thanks for reading this.

after messing around with the beautiful intellisense of vs, i think this might work:
for(int i=0; i ds.Tables["Issues"].Rows.Count ; i++)
{
Contacts.Contact Contact = new Contacts.Contact(ds.Tables["Messages"].Rows[i]["ContactID"]);
ds.Tables["Messages"].Rows[i]["ContactName"] = Contact.FirstName + " " + Contact.LastName;
}
|
|
|
|

In sql I would say
SELECT MES.ContactID, CON.COntactName, MES.Message FROM MessageDatabase..Messages AS MES
INNER JOIN ContactDatabase..Contacts AS CON ON MES.ContactID = CON.ID
ORDER BY MES.MessageID DESC LIMIT 50
that would combine them
or in code
dsTables["Messages"].Columns.Add("ContactName");
foreach( DataRow row in dsTables["Messages"] )
row["ContactName"] = Contact.FullName;

Foreach loop will be work in this case, but in some cases as adding/deleting rows or modifing primary keys or some computations (resetting expressions to null - it's .net error) will not.
Hi,

explain further on that. Dont see how foreach won't work. Its the same as using a counter just cleaner code. You can always test for null or the famous DBNull value

It's not a joke; see help (.Net Framework, foreach, syntax):
The foreach statement is used to iterate through the collection to get the desired information, but should not be used to change the contents of the collection to avoid unpredictable side effects 
I spent some nights with fighting with error at computed fields/expressions ...
Hi,

hey can you post a link to that?
I'm not an expert yet, but I play one at work. Yeah and here too.

Yes and no actually
The foreach statement repeats a group of embedded statements for each element in an array or an object collection. The foreach statement is used to iterate through the collection to get the desired information, but should not be used to change the contents of the collection to avoid unpredictable side effects. The statement takes the following form:
This doesnt mean you cant change the data in the elements of the collections just the contents of a collection.
Like so, if you add, delete, or sort the collection while inside an enumerator it will have un expected results for the simple fact that is an Enumerator and just grabs one time data. Much like modifying a pointer while iterating.
You can change the data inside the elements without it affecting them.
I have more than 20 classes linked to datagrids and use foreach to iterate through them and have not witnessed any unpredicted results yet. And besides all doc code shows ms using that especially in implementing collections.
Could use post a code example or detailed situation so I could try it and determine the root problem.

It's clear. The error is only with computed fields, I send it some time ago to C#corner forum (it's now unusable). It's solved now. The reason is:
1. I created a table with about 400 fields dynamically.
2. I assigned Expression based on another fields to one of them:
dtBufor.Columns["aggr"].Expression="...";
3. I assigned null (or zer-length string) to this expression
4. After it getting from any table field was possible, but setting - sometimes impossible. Using dtBufor.Rows[rowno]["fieldname"] generated an immediate NullObjectReference error and dtBufor.Rows[rowno].ItemArray[fieldno] updated nothing without error
5. After setting Expression="0" it works (workaround).
6. See http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/forums.asp?forumid=1649&mode=all&userid=56906&select=407524&df=100&app=50&fr=8305#xx407524xx

Hi,
 A terrible mistake I formatted the wrong drive and along with it my C# project.. All I have is the release executable.. Is there any way I can re-engineer this back to my code.. I mean if it's in byte code...
Please Please help!!

Hi.
I am trying to figure out how to find the appropriate icon for a specific file type (e.g. txt files), with out actually having a file to go by? I have tried the SHGetFileInfo, but that dont know when I dont have a file to get the information from. Can anyone help me?

}I just threw that together quick, so don't just copy and paste. You won't learn anything that way anyway. You had the right idea, but you must've been prototyping something wrong or forgetting about the marshaling stuff, whichis necessary is several cases in this example (such as pass-by-value strings).

Can anyone tell me how to trap the enter key on a windows form application? I want to call a function when the user hits enter. Also, can anyone tell me where I can find the ascii values for the keyboard keys.
Thanks
|
|

So many questions - so little time!
First, you can trap the Enter key with the keyboard events. You can capture the key with the KeyDown or KeyUp events on the Form, while setting Form.KeyPreview to true if you want it to receive notification of keyboard events from all controls (it's the parent HWND in the chain to be notified of messages if controls let them).
KeyUp would probably be better because it gives a (knowledgeable) user the chance to cancel the event with the Esc key.
Each of these events has a KeyEventArgs.KeyCode that corresponds to a Keys enumeration. You most likely shouldn't hardcode the ASCII key code because those can change with different codepages. .NET (and the Windows subsystem that drives it) takes a lot of this into account. Most likely the key code won't change for the Enter key, but why take the chance when it's so easy to just use the enumeration?
If you want the ASCII keys anyway (bad bad bad!) or for some other reason, just type "ASCII" into the help index - you know, the think you should've checked first. You'll see "ASCII character sets" (and many other links) that have the ASCII charts of 0-127 and 128-256.

Hi, just reading up on async delegates samples from MSDN.Reference:
".NET Framework Developer's Guide Asynchronous Delegates Programming Sample"
Some questions here, you guru can definitely explain this:
QUESTION 1:
Object state = new Object(); //What do we need this object for?
// Asynchronously invoke the Factorize method on pf.
IAsyncResult ar = fd.BeginInvoke(
factorizableNum,
ref temp,
ref temp,
cb, //Async callback delegate: invoke fc.FactorizedResults when pf.Factorize completes.
state); //What do we need this object for?
QUESTION 2:
I was expecting input parameter to WaitOne would be a Mutex or AutoResetEvent... etc:
AutoResetEvent e;
WaitHandle.WaitOne(e);
But instead, from our MSDN sample:
IAsyncResult ar = fd.BeginInvoke(
factorizableNum,
ref temp,
ref temp,
null,
null);
ar.AsyncWaitHandle.WaitOne(10000, false);
(2-a) I guess .NET framework signal a waitable handle encapsulated by IAsyncResult ar.. signaling it when fd delegate(s) completes. Is my understanding correct?
(2-b) What if there're more than one handler? Should I WaitAll instead?
ar.AsyncWaitHandle.WaitAll(10000, false);
That's it. Thanks.

As the documentation states, the state can be anything you want to pass to the callback. This could be an array of Object, since every array is an Array and an Array inherits from Object (as everything in .NET does). I use a similar mechanism (my own delegates and callbacks, but same idea) to use generics while passing specifics to the callbacks. For instance, I provide a tree service that has many methods that all use the same "find node X" method that takes a callback and a state parameter. When the node is found, the callback is invoked and the state is passed as a parameter. The callback method uses the state to do the actual work. Each publicly exposed method needs to find a node in the same way, but the callback does something completely different and is specific to the exposed method - the state is data that is passed through from the exposed method to the callback method.
When talking of handles, it all comes down to threads. You could simply pass an EventArgs derivative because those are created in many threads - the handle that you wait on must be global, otherwise one thread won't sync with another thread. The WaitHandle is global to all threads and WaitOne merely waits for it to be signals. If you look at the documentation, WaitAll and WaitAny are actually static methods. You must pass an array of WaitHandle instances to them and they will wait appropriately. WaitOne can be an instance method because it just uses the global handle of the WaitHandle from which it's being called.

In my application I want to be able to send mail with attachments.
By using the smptMail object I can add attachments by using a filedialog and then the code:
aMessage.Attachments.Add( new MailAttachment(VedleggTxtBox.Text,MailEncoding.Base64))
where the VedleggTxtBox.Text is set by whatever the user select.
Thats all good, but I want to put in a path to a document manually in the code instead of using a filedialog to automaticcaly set the value og Vedleggtxtbox.text.
Plz help..
Or could anyone direct me to a page or some code on how I do attachements by using Outlook in my application. I been searching a long time, and havent found a good example yet using c#.
