Here is a nice quick way of doing this:
string text = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Mauris ut dui vitae nulla eleifend malesuada. Aliquam semper tortor nec arcu. Donec consequat tincidunt ipsum. Praesent tempor magna nec massa. Curabitur ut tortor. Fusce massa. Pellentesque vulputate, ante quis mattis euismod, magna elit pretium enim, eu varius nisl eros vel nisl. Pellentesque quis enim. Phasellus eu erat. Ut convallis pede quis purus. Aliquam nec diam ut mauris congue suscipit. Nam eleifend congue sapien. Cras vulputate erat id ligula. Suspendisse potenti. Sed laoreet aliquet lorem.";
Hashtable charCounter = new Hashtable();
foreach(char c in text.ToCharArray())
{
if (charCounter.ContainsKey(c))
{
charCounter[c] = (int)charCounter[c] + 1;
}
else
{
charCounter.Add(c, 0);
}
}
foreach(char c in charCounter.Keys)
{
System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine("Char: " + c + " " + charCounter[c]);
}

I add a user control to my project, I then inherit from a TabPage. I add controls to the designer but when I switch between code and designer view i get an error

Well the code of the User Control might help. At least maybe the contructor and component initialization. It looks like you might have some invalid code in the user control. The designer has to instantiate and load the control in design mode. You need to make sure the code doesn't exception out or set any invalid arguments in the default constructor.

Hello one more time (and last time for the time being  )
In one of those forms I was talking about on my previous posts, I have a multiline textbox. The user types some text, presses Enter, and some more text. The data is correctly saved, and the form closes. But when I open the form again and display the text in the multiline textbox, it is displayed on a single line with some unreadable characters where line breaks should go.
I know is a problem of LF vs CRLF but my question is why if I take the text from a text box and then set it back, the line breaks are not recgonized. And, any quick way to fix it?
Thanks,
-- LuisR

How are you "saving" this data? It's important that you always use Environment.NewLine which is correctly defined on the platform on which the CLI implementation (.NET is Microsoft's implementation of the CLI).
If you're saving this text using a TextWriter, it should be saved with the correct line-ending.
The encoding could also matter. Make sure that you read and write with the same encoding. If you save using a Unicode encoding and then read the file back in using a 7- or 8-bit encoding like ASCII - or even a multi-byte encoding like UTF8 depending on the characters being encoded - you will notice problems (because the bytes would be 0x0d,0x00,0x0a,0x00, not 0x0d,0x0a).
If you could provide more information, that would also be helpful.

person.Address = txtAddress.Text; // person.Address is a string property
And then:
txtAddress.Text = person.Address;
And sometimes in between it is saved to and read from a database with a:
strSQL = "UPDATE ..... Address='" + person.Address + "' ....";
and read from the database with a:
person.Adress = datareader.GetString(...);
When I try output that person.Address to a printer, it comes out correctly in several lines.
Now that I'm typing it here, I'm thinking that the problem could be in the UPDATE statement. Any ideas?

The first problem with your UPDATE statement is...
...NEVER use string concatentation to build SQL queries! Thing for a moment what happens when I set txtAddress.Text to the following (which gets assigned to person.Address, which gets passed to your query):
blah' AND 1=1; DROP TABLE YourTable; -- You get 0wned - that's with a zero. If you store credit card numbers, I could grab those. And don't think I can't - I can easily read your IL and string literals with tools that even come in the .NET Framework SDK (ildasm.exe). Major RDBMS's like SQL Server and Oracle support quering for schema information, so I can also find out what columns, tables, views, and databases you have (among other things).
Use parameterized queries. If this is for SQL Server, you'd use the SqlCommand.Parameters collection property, which is well-documented and includes examples. Be sure to read them, because different ADO.NET providers provide support parameters differently: both SQL Server and Oracle drivers support named parameters (but identified a little differently), while the OLE DB provider you must use question marks (?).
The problem could be in how your storing the data. All strings are encoded somehow, and your database encoding might be the problem - same as I mentioned for the text files (though databases typically abstract this problem away).

You got a very good point there. I had not thought of that before, but in this particular case, this would not be a problem. It's a very little Windows Forms app using a VistaDB database (similar to an Access database, a single file, residing locally). But I definitely need to look into parametized queries.
On Monday, I'll take a look at how the database does the string encoding. If I remember correctly, the multiline text box shows only one non-printable character where a line break should go, so I could probably fix it by adding a carriage return if only a new-line is present, or viceversa.
Thanks, and I'll keep you informed of my findings.

I never said it was the problem, but it's a serious problem nonetheless. SQL injection attacks are one of the most overlooked problems and the easiest to exploit. Add to the problem that too many people run as privileged accounts. Always use the least privileges required. You should set up a separate account for your web site (if using database authentication) or add your ASP.NET account (by default, the local ASPNET account added during installation of the .NET Framework) if using SSPI (Windows Integrated Authentication) and give it only the privileges on objects (tables, views, and stored procedures) that are necessary.

Hello again,
On the same app I talked about the previous thread, my MDI child form has a toolbar and many textboxes.
I use the textboxes' Validated event to set a modified flag and save the value to an internal object. When I click the Save button on the MDI child toolbar, the object is saved to the database.
My problem is that if I modify a text box, and then click the save button on the toolbar, the Validating/Validated events are not generated, because the textbox doesn't lose focus. I have to go to another control, and then click save on the toolbar.
Any ideas on how to fix this or why this is happening?

Make sure CausesValidation is set to true.
If you have a custom control that was implemented differently you can force validation. My company used the following code in some of our projects:
public class Tasks
{
public static void ForceControlValidation(Control c)
{
Type t = typeof(Control);
MethodInfo m = t.GetMethod("NotifyValidating", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.InvokeMethod | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
object obj = m.Invoke(c, new object[0]);
if (obj is bool && (bool)obj == false)
{
MethodInfo m2 = t.GetMethod("NotifyValidated", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.InvokeMethod | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
m2.Invoke(c, new object[0]);
}
}
}
Does anyone have something that works better? Please let me know.

All controls have CausesValidation set to true.
The Validating/Validated events are generated when the control loses focus, for every control. But when I click on the toolbar, the focused control doesn't lose it. That's why it's value is not saved.
If I modify a control, click on some other control, and then the toolbar, there is no problem.

The ToolBar class in the BCL - and most other third-party toolbars I've seen - never gain the focus.
You need to invoke validation when a button is clicked. Since the ToolBar class in the BCL fires a single event for any button click, it makes it easy to do this: just call the function that implements your functionality before checking which button was clicked (well, in most cases I would imagine).
How do you implement this? There are several ways, such as recursively enumerating your Controls collection for each Control (starting at your Form, UserControl, or whatever control you're extending or using for your container) and check the Focused property defined by the Control class (so every control has it, but they may not implement it - like the Panel class).

So, that's the problem then.

That's easy enough. I'll implement it Monday morning.

How do I do invoke events for a control?
If it were a single control, I'd know in advance the event handler name and could call it directly. But I don't know. Also, I implemented the ValidateFocusedControl routine in my base clase, so it doesn't have access to derived clases' members.
I tried this:
public void ValidateFocusedControl()
{
foreach(Control ctl in Controls)
if(ValidateFocusedControlRecursive(ctl))
break;
}
bool ValidateFocusedControlRecursive(Control ctl)
{
if(ctl.Focused)
{
if(ctl.CausesValidation)
{
CancelEventArgs cea = new CancelEventArgs();
cea.Cancel = false;
ctl.Validating(ctl, cea);
if(cea.Cancel != true)
ctl.Validated(ctl, new EventArgs());
}
return true;
}
foreach(Control ctl2 in ctl.Controls)
if(ValidateFocusedControlRecursive(ctl2))
return true;
return false;
}
The recursion code works, I confirmed it with a MessageBox. But how can I call the validation routines? the above code gives me a compile error.
Thanks,

That's what the protected OnEventName methods are for. Note that calling these won't necessary perform the same actions as when the .NET Framework invokes them (like for mouse events), but in this case it will fire validation events that will invoke the handler list.

Reflection, or if you're referring to specific controls extend it and then you can call it (perhaps expose the protected member via a public member like Validate).
You could also make the control lose focus and regain it like so:
Control active = ActiveControl;
Control next = active.GetNextControl(active, false);
next.Focus();
active.Focus(); * To avoid getting into a case where invalid input (like no data for a required field) try searching back when possible.

Hello Heath,
Finally fixed it. This is what I did:
public void ValidateFocusedControl()
{
foreach(Control ctl in Controls)
if(ValidateFocusedControlRecursive(ctl))
break;
}
bool ValidateFocusedControlRecursive(Control ctl)
{
if(ctl.Focused)
{
if(ctl.CausesValidation)
{
TextBox txtBox = new TextBox();
txtBox.Bounds = new Rectangle(-100, -100, 1, 1);
txtBox.Parent = ctl.Parent;
txtBox.Focus();
ctl.Focus();
txtBox.Parent = null;
txtBox.Dispose();
}
return true;
}
foreach(Control ctl2 in ctl.Controls)
if(ValidateFocusedControlRecursive(ctl2))
return true;
return false;
}
Basically, just create a control, set focus to it, and then set the focus back to my control. It works!
Thanks for all your help!

You shouldn't instantiate and add that TextBox with each iteration of your loop! Talk about sucking up system resources. Instantiate it once in the first method, then pass a reference to it in the recursive method.

I only create the TextBox if the current control has focus and causes validation events. It is not for every control, only when I find the focused one. And once I find it, I immediately return and the loop stops. I believe that TextBox is created only once every time I call the main ValidateFocusedControl routine.
And still I only force validation when the Save button is clicked on the toolbar, so that's once or twice in the life of the form.

Hello,
I have a MDI application, with several types of MDI children. When I get a ButtonClick event from the toolbar in the main form, I want to determine the active MDI child, so I can react appropiately.
I have some code that looks like this:
void ToolBar_OnButtonClick()
{
foreach(Form form in this.MdiChildren)
{
if(form.Focused && form.WindowState != Minimized)
{
if(form is FormType1)
MessageBox.Show("form type 1 active");
else if(form is FormType2)
MessageBox.Show("form type 2 active");
}
}
}
I would expect a messagebox telling me the type of the active form when I click a button on the toolbar, but nothing happens. Any ideas?
