when it says some languages represent it different, most, frmo my experience, either follow the C# convetion or use 1 to represent true and 0 or less as false (e.g. C). You can easily convert bools to ints using Convert.ToInt32(value).
However Convert.ToBoolean will acturately convert 1 to true and 0 to false, but when i tried it, converted -1 to true.

Whoa there! In C (and most other languages), false is 0; anything that is not zero is considered true. That is why -1 was converted to true when passed into Convert.ToBoolean.

At Jethro Tull's August 28, 2003 concert Ian Anderson mentioned that the group would be performing a medley of title tracks. The songs were "Songs from the Wood", "Too Old to Rock and Roll; Too Young to Die"; and from the Heavy Horses album, "Stairway to Heaven".

Exactly. Amazing how people get confused by 'bool' 
But wait, what the heck is the connection between GetHashCode and bool? Is the original poster insane or is it me?
|
|

I think the original poster was just looking for something on the Boolean class which returned an int, and GetHashCode just happens to do that.
I've replied with what I hope we can agree is a better way of doing what was wanted.

Actually, m not goin insane. hehhe. I was actually looking for a way to convert the boolean method without resorting to using Convert. Anyway, m just exploring C#. Thanks anyway!

Any ideas what Hashcode is?
GetHashCode is used to provide a value called a 'hash' for classes like System.Collections.Hashtable. These classes use that value to create a collection which can grow but still retain a fast look-up to get the proper value. A hash table is also called a Map by some people because you can map one value on to another.
For example, you can use a Hashtable to map a string representing the name of a customer onto an object that contains more information about that customer. Hashtable internally calls GetHashCode on the string so that it can find the customer object quickly.
Rather than calling GetHashCode on the Checked property you could just use the ?: operator.
Checkbox1.Checked ? 1 : 0;
That basically expands out to,
if( Checkbox1.Checked )
return 1;
else
return 0; HTH,

Hi, I have a problem:
I have an .NET application that uses Crystal Reports as reporting tool. I need to filter records. The problem is that I have just dataView.RowFilter string but Crystal reports do not accept it becouse they have their own syntax for selecting records.
Is there any way i can give normal MS SQL syntax string to filter records? (I mean where clouse)
Or I need to create translator from SQL syntax to Crystal syntax?
Do not offer to use ADO.NET datasets, they work very slow.
Thanx

MMm.... well you can set that DataView in a new DataTable, and pass it as parameter to the Report as a dataset parameter.

You can't use a DataView as a datasource. It's supposed to work, but my
contact at Crystal told me that there is a bug in the current release that
doesn't let it connect properly. Hopefully they will fix this in a future
release. If you want to see all the ways you can connect a datasource to a
report then check out Chapter 14 of my free online ebook.
-----------------------
You are right. CR works with datasets, but not dataview. I discovered this
while working on my book and discussed it with tech support. They worked on
it and decided that there must be a casting error in their code and they
created a KB issue for it. Hopefully it will be fixed in a future service
pack.

Hi guys,
Created a simple asp web app and compiled it fine and runs the web page.
So I dragged a label over and placed it on the form. In load_page put the code:

But when its run, it doesn't display the label!!
What am I doing wrong??
Thanks.

Hi,
Is it possible to get the event of scroll of a Form? I would like to do something every the forms is scrolling; (the form is set to AutoScroll).
Thanks for help~~!!

 Scrolling support in WinForms is not too good. You have to subclass the form and catch WM_HSCROLL, WM_VSCROLL, and WM_MOUSEWHEEL events.

sorry,jdunlap,
I'm stupid.Could you explain it a bit more?
Coz I'm just a fresh C# programmer. I'll be happy if you could provide me some part of codes/examples.
Thank you

Here is a basic subclassing class in C#:
class SubClasser : System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow
{
public SubClasser(IntPtr formhandle)
{
base.AssignHandle(formhandle);
}
protected override void WndProc(
ref System.Windows.Forms.Message m)
{
base.WndProc(ref m);
switch(m.Msg)
{
case WM_HSCROLL:
break;
case WM_VSCROLL:
break;
}
}
}

If the scrolling is not good in WinForm, then what can I use? Or I need to make a newcontrol?
I use autoScroll in my Form, because I don't want to waste much time on calculation. I've tried to use hScrollBar and vScrollBar, but the interface looks not beautiful as autoScroll bar.
Any idea for me??

I have a class library version 1.0. I want it to GAC(Global Assemly Cache).Now how can I use it in my application?I can't use object which exist in it,I have to first Add reference to the local compy of it,then if I delete dll file in my debug directory,because another version is exist in GAC I can use the version in GAC.HHow can I use that vversion from the begining.
My second question is I have careated version2.0 and v3.0 and put them in GAC,the question is how can I force my application to use my desired version?

Regards,
We have developed a multimedia software using C# which uses a .mdb (MS-Access file) as database. When burning the whole project on the CD, the program coulden't access the database so we had to to install the .mdb file on the user's system HDD and that works.
But I still wonder why it was not possible to read our database on the CD and if it is anyway to do so. perhaps C# needs to write some temporary files beside the .mdb file to work with or what?
Thanks for any note and help,

Yes,there is a lock file that should be written near .mdb file but I don''t think this is specific to C# only.

Yes, the Jet database engine, which Access DBs are based on, create a *.ldb database lock file. But this has nothing to do with whether or not you use C#.

I'm not experienced in Access so don't quote me - but...
Is it possible to open the database as a shared connection - would this remove the need to write the lock file.

Hi,
If you choose "Read Only" AND "Open Exclusive" together, Access won't create
the *.ldb file if it isn't already there.
Another option is to get any "ldb" file, and copy it into the CD as well... not very clean solution, but it seems that it works fine 
Good luck

Hi,
Have you tried to set "Exclusive Access" and login to the database with an user that only has "Read Data" access ?

Tools >> Security >> User and Group Permissions

It is possible to open an Access database which resides on a CD, but you must open it as Exclusive, Read-Only. This prevents the ldb file from being created.
