On your project properties, change to "Output Type" from "Console Application" to "Windows Application".

"(null)" values in datagrid - how to avoid it? (in datagrid or dataset)
One solution is to change SQL query (i.e. NVL function), but it's not comfortable and I don't want to get the solution this way.
Many thanks for answer in advance.

You can change your dataset so it automatically changes null for, e.g., an empty string. Every dataset column has the "NullValue" property, check it on the dataset designer by clicking on a string column and pressing F4 to bring up the properties window.

Thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately I don't use any dataset designer.
I use the dataset object only for data visualsation in datagrid.
... <br />
myDataset = new DataSet();<br />
myAdapter.Fill(myDataset); <br />
this.myDatagrid.DataSource = myDataset.Tables[0]; <br />
I've been looking for NullValue property for dataset, but I couldn't find it:
myDataset.NullValue
myDataset.Tables[0].NullValue
myDataset.Tables[0].Columns[0].NullValue
No NullValue property for the objects above exists. 
But I've found smtg like this:
<br />
this.myDatagrid.TableStyles[0].GridColumnStyles[0].NullText = "-";<br />
but this kind of error appears:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: index was out of range. Must be non-negative or less than the size of the colletion.
Parameter name: index
at System.Collection.ArrayList.get_Item(Int32 index)
at System.Windows.Forms.GridCollumnStylesCollection.get_Item(Int32 index)
at................................
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The this.myDatagrid.TableStyles[0] causes the error.
Has anybody got any idea what's wrong?

Hi,
There's an option I think in the data grid, or in the drata grid style where you can change the "null" value for the string that you want, sorry now I don't have the code with me, but search for something like "NullText".

Hello All!!
I want to write the objects on file. I know how to do this in C++ but i m not geting the equvalent way in .net
e.g pseudocode is like
class MyClass{<br />
int a;<br />
int b;<br />
string c;<br />
}<br />
<br />
MyClass obj = new MyClass();<br />
obj.a=0;<br />
obj.b=1;<br />
obj.c = "can i do this";
In C++ I used to do it like
ofstream out(fileName,ios::binary | ios::trunc); <br />
out.write((char*)obj,sizeof(*obj));
But what is equivalent of ofstream in .net
Thanx in Advance.
sorry for my bad English.

Not gonna try like I am an expert by an means here but you should look at this article here on Codeproject http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/fileupload.asp?target=Upload%7CFile[^] about uploading files with ASP.net/C#, I know it sounds off topic but it shows reading in and writing out a file using the FileStream class. Maybe it will help you on the right track?

Thanx Kluch!!
Well! I can find the overloaded methods to write bytes, strings, integers on files using different streams such as filestream, binarywriter etc but i want to write my custom class object on file, as mentioned in VC++ code in my question. It is quite easy in VC++ and there must be an equivalent function in C# as well. But I coudln't trace it out.

Writing objects into a stream is called "Serialization", C# contains two different foramtters:
System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter for binary formatting, and
System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter for XML formatting.
The SerializableAttribute marks a class as serializable:
[Serializable()]
public class MyClass{
public int a;
public int b;
public string c;
}
To write an object of that class to a file stream, you can use the Serialize-method:
BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
FileStream stream = new FileStream(myFileName, FileMode.Create);
formatter.Serialize(stream, obj);
Later you can read teh object from the file with Deserialize():
MyClass obj = (MyClass)formatter.Deserialize(stream);

Didn't really know what forum to post this in, but I thought this would be as good as any.
What exactly constitues a "command bar"? To me it seems that almost anything can be one; menus, toolbars, popup menus, tabbed interfaces, etc. So what makes something a command bar?
Thanks

The term "command bar" typically refers to a component that can act as both a menu and a toolbar. A good example of this is the command bars in the Office suite. Using the Customize dialog, try dragging a built-in menu structure onto a commandbar toolbar. Notice that it becomes a dropdown button. Now drag a menu item onto the toolbar, or a toolbar item onto a menu - they're the same thing.

Is there any chance of Microsoft fixing the problem with inconsistent casing in names of classes, namespaces, enums, what have you? Here's a sampling of things I've noticed lately:
System.Data.DbType
System.Data.DBConcurrencyException
System.Text.Encoding.UTF8
System.Web.Mail.MailMessage.Cc
System.Web.Mail.MailMessage.Bcc
Here's a good place to start reading about Microsoft's preferred casing styles:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpgenref/html/cpconCapitalizationStyles.asp
The guidelines clearly state that two-letter names should be uppercased, but this is inherently flawed because it leads to impossible situations like in the MailMessage class: how to satisfy the naming 'guidelines' but still remain consistent within the class? This two-letter rule is nutso. (I think that the designers of the MailMessage class did a good thing by being consistent within the class, though.)
Does this bother anyone but me? I don't mind adapting to ANY convention, but it makes it a headache when there is no clear convention in actual practice, and you have to integrate with or extend an existing API.
Thank you.

UTF8 is an RFC[^] so it wouldn't make much sense to change the case.

AFAIK, whether something describes part of an RFC or not has nothing to do with the Microsoft casing guidelines. I'm not trying to be curt, I just don't think that your criterion applies. I could easily be wrong-- I'm not a walking encyclopedia of Microsoft documentation.
If it were me, I would never have cased XML as 'Xml' either, so I agree with your design ethic for sure! There are lots of other naming inconsistencies besides the ones I posted, too. I just picked a handful.
Thank you.

I agree, what I was suggesting was simply why change the name of something that is actually described as an acronym somewhere else, in this case it is an RFC. Who knows the exact reasoning behind some of this; maybe someone from Microsoft will read this thread and offer some insight?

If they do, it'll break all code. So no, they won't (at least they better not, and they're smart enough not to).
BTW, Cc and Bcc do not conflict: in most cases in the .NET Framework BCL, they use camel case even when using acronyms. Bcc and Cc both start with upper-case characters and proceed to use lower case.
As someone that's followed the .NET Framework since early beta days, I can tell you the case changed a couple times. System.Xml used to be System.XML. Almost all acronyms were completely upper-case. Perhaps they felt that developers didn't want to hold down the shift key for so long. Why they didn't remain consistent on everything, I don't know.

I agree with you. What I'm really fumbling my way to saying, I guess, is that they should ditch this dumb two-letter-is-always-uppercase rule that they seem to have invented just to explain the name of the System.IO namespace. The standard should be heads-up camel, all the time. Of course, this would require them to admit that they made a few mistakes.
I also don't see Microsoft deprecating whole classes and namespaces in an effort to clean up the mess, and it's best that they don't!

I am trying to take a byte array and cast it to a string.
The closest I have come is:
<br />
ASCIIEncoding.GetString Method (Byte[])<br />
However, there is a restriction:
"Any element of the bytes array that is greater than
hexadecimal 0x7F is translated to a Unicode question mark
('?')."
I need to keep that extra bit.
Tym!

Where are you getting the byte array from? If it involves multi-byte characters, shouldn't you be using a char[] array instead?

I am creating the byte array from individual bytes that don't represent chars, simply 8-bit values. They are being put in a struct as a string and the struct is sent by reference to a win api function (interop).
|
|
|
|
|
Take a look at cultures and globalization. I assume you need an 8 bit encoder/decoder using some codepage.

I'm not too familiar with the encoders/decoders or how unicode particularly works, but my concern here is that if i have for example:
byte b1=0x85;
byte b2=0x7f;
the data i want to actually send should be:
0x857f
which I believe would be a valid unicode char.
first of all, i don't want and encoder to "pad" my bytes when building a string (0x0085007f), nor do I want a decoder interpretting the bytes and apparent chars... thereby messing up the raw bits.
I tried forgetting about building the array as a string and just defining it as a byte[] in the struct, but I couldn't get the marshalling right (unable to marshal struct as unmanaged type; cannot determine size...) When using a string, I am not getting a runtime error, I am just not building the string properly because I am getting incorrect results.
I am open for any and all suggestions!
Thanks
