No, you don't have to provide 5 constructors for your TreeNode class. Since your extending the existing TreeNode class, all you have to do is supply your own constructor if one of the existing ones is not suitable. You could override the existing contructors to provide slightly different functionality, like filling in your extended fields with default data, or provide a completely new one so long as the signature of your constructor doesn't match an existing one.
If you wanted to provide a constructor that took two String parameters and an existing TreeNode object, instead of a single String and TreeNode, you could because there is no matching constructor in the base class constructor list.
public TreeNode( string text, string altData, TreeNode[] children );
Now, if you wanted to provide a new constructor that takes the same type and same number of parameters, like:
public TreeNode( string text, TreeNode[] children );
and
public TreeNode( string altData, TreeNode[] children );
Then you would have to rearrange your parameter list because you can't ahve two constructors with the same signature, in this case TreeNode(string,TreeNode[]):
public TreeNode( TreeNode[] children, string altData );

By the way, if you are going to be doing a lot with tree controls, you might look at the Infragistics tree control. It's a bit expensive, but it has a lot more flexibility than the Microsoft standard tree control.

Dave thanks for the response, I'm not sure if this got sent to you b4 or not but here it is again...sorry if its duplicated...
So now I'm alittle confused...
I have the following code:
MyTreeNode class implementation
namespace MyName
{
internal class MyTreeNode : System.Windows.Forms.TreeNode
{
private string ExtraLabel;
public string InternalLabel
{
get
{
return ExtraLabel;
}
set
{
ExtraLabel=value;
}
}
internal MyTreeNode()
{
ExtraLabel=null;
}
}
}
Instanciation
MyTreeNode Node = (MyTreeNode)new TreeNode(Drive,IconIndex,IconIndex);
I get an invalid cast exception thrown...what am I doing wrong ?

|
|
|

I think it's going to be more like this:
MyTreeNode Node = New MyTreeNode( parameters );
And when you add it to the Nodes collection in your TreeView:
TreeView1.Nodes.Add( (TreeNode)MyTreeNode );
And when you try an access that node, say, in reference to the TreeView's SelectedNode property:
MyTreeNode myNode = (MyTreeNode)TreeView1.SelectedNode;

Well when I first created this class I tried your first suggestion;
<br />
MyTreeNode Node = new MyTreeNode(Drive, IconIndex,IconIndex);<br />
but it would not compile, I got an error indicating that no constructor for MyTreeNode took 3 parameters (which according to my class is true...My constructor takes 0 parameters). Hence my initial question about needing to create default consrtuctors in MyTreeNode class duplicating the base TreeNode Constructors. This is why I'm confused.

That's right, you have to supply your own constructor if your going to do this. The TreeNode class doesn't have a constructor that understands the parameters you gave it, so you have to supply one that takes those 3 parameters in your MyTreeNode class code, but you don't need to recreate the constructors of the base class, TreeNode. Just add you own contructor.
public MyTreeNode( string drive, Int32 iconIndex, Int32 iconIndex );
The Int32's should be whatever type your trying to pass into your constructor...

ok, to recap:
I need to duplicate the base class's contructors in my inherited class's implementation if I use them in my inherited class.
If thats the case, and the TreeNode's constructor is suitable, then where does the following apply ?

When you need override the base class constructors and do some extra work that they don't. Your constructor will get called, then you do your extra processing or whatever, like setting default data in your version of the class, then you call the base class constructor with the same arguments that were sent to you.
Now, if you need to get parameters that the base class constructors don't support, then you have to supply your own constructor with the parameters that you need. But, don't forget to call an appropriate base class constructor, so it can do the setup work it needs to do.

If it's only adding a string property, why are you inheriting the TreeNode class at all? You can use TreeNode's Tag property to 'tag' (associate) any object with your node, including a string.

Hi Gurus!
I got some troubles to fill Dataset...
I've added a Dataset.xsd file to my ASP.NET application. Then drag&drop some tables I want to retrieve data from. And after all I got such query
select code, package1.func(domain_cd, code, 'EN') as descr
from table1
The matter is that in PL/SQL developer this code works fine, but when I'm trying to run following code in C#
OracleDataAdapter da = new OracleDataAdapter(sql, con);
DatasetXSD= new DatasetXSD();
da.Fill(DatasetXSD, "table1");
an error occurs:
Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints.
So I want to ask - do I need to set some relations in DatasetXSD during desing-time? And is it correct to use function in query to fill Dataset, or I should make it throught nested query? (I mean select code (select row1 from table2) as descr from table1)

I recently experienced the same problem, and I fixed it by setting up relationships between the table in your schema.xsd file. Seems like your relationships in the schema file need to match those in the database itself to resolve issues like this. Hope this helps

ok, thanx. I have rebuild my query by adding some resaltions, so for now I am retrieving data from two tables, and I got inner join. MMy sql query looks like
select t1.code,
t2.name
from tab1 t1, tab2 t2 where t1.code=t2.code
Then I call DataAdapter.Fill(DatasetXSD);
no errors occured but DatasetXSD is empty, and when I run the same query in PL/SQL Developer everething works fine...
Maybe some one can tell me anoter way to fill Dataset from multiple tables correctly?

If you have relationships established between a couple (or more) tables, your Fill statement won't work because you're only filling one table ("table1"). Make sure you fill the whole DataSet.
Your SelectCommand can contain multiple SELECT statements, delimited by semi-colons (just like in SQL).
Make sure you add table mappings, though. A DataAdapter will, by default, map to tables "Table", "Table1", "Table2", ... "TableN". See the DataAdapter.TableMappings property for more details.

Hi,
has anyone figured out how to get round the PrintToFile issue with .Net?
The PrinterSettings.PrintToFile property can only be set by the System.Windows.Forms.Printing.PrintDialog class. The Print to file option only appears on the System.Windows.Forms.Printing.PrintDialog when the System.Windows.Forms.Printing.PrintDialog.AllowPrintToFile property is set to true. For more information, see the KB article "'PrintDocument Class' Does Not Implement The PrintToFile Feature (820644)" on Microsoft TechNet, at Technet Article[^].
I really want to be able to print to a temporary file (using a pdf driver) for e-mailing.
Thanks in advance,
Gary

I want to dublicate the textbox/richtextbox functions GetCharFromPosition, GetCharIndexFromPosition, GetLineFromCharIndex, and GetPositionFromCharIndex without API.
Unfortunately, I don't have a clue how to start. Can anyone give me some idea's?

Either use the IL disassembler (ildasm.exe) from the .NET Framework SDK if you now how to read IL (Intermediate Language) or a good decompiler like .NET Reflector[^] to examine how those methods work. This is a handy approach to figuring out how code works. Some companies will obfuscate their code making it more difficult, but not impossible. Microsoft does not obfuscate their .NET FCL assemblies.

Well, I decompiled the Textbox, Richtextbox, and TextboxBase from the .Net framework a while back. The problem was, the functions that I want use API to get the info.

That's right! Most of the .NET FCL classes are wrappers around API calls...

I visually generated control,
variable in code appears.
But I have class derived from that type,
(extend functionality to reuse),
by which I want to handle visual part,
I change type to derived, ...
but editor not see precise type and removes control from the form.
So,
How to connect variable to control in such case ?
Thanks

I'm not sure I understand you (your question is very difficult to read, you might try elaborating a bit), but if you want to change the Type in your container (Form, UserControl, whatever), then make sure both the variable type declaration and the instantiated Type (in the InitializeComponent method) are the same, derived Type. Also make sure that that Type has been compiled and is either in the same project or a dependency project that has been referenced by your current project (when you right-click on the project and select Add Reference, select the project tab and add the project to make sure that a build dependency is established and that the build configuration (i.e., release, debug, whatever)is always in sync).

???????????????????????????????????????????
This doesn't make any sense what-so-ever...
Are you saying that you created your own UserControl class, inheriting from an existing control?
Did you drop YOUR control on the form, or drop the base control that you inherited from? If you want to use YOUR version of the control, you'll have to add it to the Toolbox, then drag that onto your form, not the control you inherited from.

Witout new control creation - in a visual way,
I can not do it programmatically - to just add some small functions,
in inherited class?
but continue to edit all other properties - visually.
(control disappear from editor)
As extending Buttton in other languages, pure programmatically ?

|

What your saying is VERY difficult to understand.
Are you saying that you want to set the properties of a control in a Properties Page like Visual Studio has in the bottom right corner of the screen? Is this control one that you wrote?
Are you trying to write your own extended Button class and have your extended properties show up in the Property Page?

Im trying to make a specification here at work for how we should write our classes.
what i mean is for readabillity / make it as easy as possible to find the correct parts of your code.
some might suggest an apporach like this
class
{
//variables
//events
//constructor(s)
//propertis
//methods
//overrides
//interfance implementations
//nested casses
}
or
class
{
//variables
//events
//constructor(s)
//propertis (all propps , overriden propps , interface implemented propps)
//methods (all methods , overriden methods, interface implemented methods)
//nested casses
}
do you guys have any other suggestions?
what about regions ?
i tend to add regions to everything i do , but when im done it usually looks like crap with lots of folded blocks in it.
anyone seen any code that you think "it doesnt get any better than this" (layoutwise/readabillity that is) ??
//Roger

I've once read the following structure in a book and use it since that time.
All parts are coded as a region and i try not to have more than two nested regions.
class
{
class variables
instance variables
construction, destruction
class methods
instance methods (further grouping depending on what the methods do)
interface implementations
}
