Just think that you added one .dll file into your solution. Now this .dll file is common or visible to all files avilable in your solution. Once it is added to our reference folder then it is upto you to desided where to use the file.Suppose if you want to use this then explicitly you need to use the keyword 'using' to get that .dll reference there in that perticular .cs file.
To be consize, suppose if you want to use an external .dll then microsoft strictly ensure that the reference must be there in your application. And where to use and where not, that purly depend on us to decide.

Thats not true. I can add an assembly as a reference and use the classes within it without ever using a using in the cs file. For example, say I want to use a MyClass in MyAssembly within a namespace called MyNamespace. I add the reference to MyAssembly and then I can throughout the code put things like MyNamespace.MyClass mc = new MyNamespace.MyClass();

That's also not true. See the various Load methods in System.Assembly[^] which allow you to load an an assembly at runtime that wasn't referenced at compile time.

what is the difference between "using" a name space and adding
a dll as a reference
This is what the question that the submitter asked. Just think if that person want to ask this question, then how much experience that he have in .NET.
So according to me, we need to feed little amount first. Then little more next etc .
That's why i wrote like that. What ever you pointed is correct. But think , is this will digest for newbees.
anyhow thanks for your comment.

I see your point on the first part (about needing to reference an assembly in order to use it), but for the second part... Well, if you look at code generated by the designer you will see that it puts in the full namespace, and if you are adding SqlConnections/SqlDataAdapters and the like you'll notice it doesn't add using System.Data.SqlClient at the top of the file. This can actually be rather confusing to someone who doesn't know both ways as newbies are likely to be relying on the designer more than others and when they come to do some code of their own (in the class that the designer built) they will wonder why they cannot get some code to compile because they don't have a using at the top, but the object already exists in the class somehow...... And the whole thing swirls round in a mess in their head making them more and more frustrated because they can't figure it out.
I see your point about helping them push their knowledge forward in small steps.(They've got to learn to walk before they can run). But, I don't think (partially) misleading assertions help. I would say the better way would have been to say something like "there are other ways, but the more common and useful is...." (or something like that, depending on the situation).
Anyway, don't feel too bad. I'm now likely going to be critisised for being a hypocrit because sometimes I rush a response and make partially misleading statements in order to answer their immediate query, but not give a proper explanation of the whys and hows.

Reference is to an assembly (dll). An assembly can contain multiple namespaces. using says that you're using a particular namespace withing an assembly.

I’m not entirely sure what your trying to do but if you want to see the contents of an ArrayList for example the code would be something like this. (I’m not compiling this so it may have a syntax error or two but you'll get the idea)
ArrayList ai = new ArrayList();
ai.add(“Hello”);
ai.add(“world”);
IEnumerator _E = ai.GetEnumerator();
while(_E.MoveNext())
{
Console.writline(_E.current.ToString());
}
MSDN link is really good help too http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemiotextreaderclassreadblocktopic.asp[^]

In WebService, The WebMethod run normally, and return data success.But When WebApplication run the WebMethod, Error has "There is an error in XML document (421, 39)". may it what cause? How to do it?

|

your problem is simple : you have an error (bug) on the web server (an uncaught exception maybe)
maybe the application doesn't call the webmethod you think...
try debugging your web application from begin to end and find out where the exception ocurs and how to avoid it 
I hope you understand...
By the way... visit http://nehe.gamedev.net[^]

Given an int variable k that has already been declared , use a while loop to print a single line consisting of 97 asterisks. Use no variables other than k .
or this....
Given an int variable n that has already been declared and initialized to a positive value , and another int variable j that has already been declared , use a while loop to print a single line consisting of n asterisks. Thus if n contains 5, five asterisks will be printed. Use no variables other than n and j .
Any ideas. I have lots of questions like this. I just need help with one of them so I can work with the rest!
Thanks in advance.

First, welcome as a new member to CP. This would be better to be asked in the Visual C++[^] forum since you are asking for C code. This forum is for C# questions.

Logic is same whether it is c or C#. here i am writing example using C#. Try to use correct syntax in c for printing and reciving variable in c while using this logic.
using System;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Class1
{
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int n=5;
for(int i=0;i < n;i++)
{
Console.Write(" *");
} Console.Write("\n");
}
}
}

Do we have to smack you? Make suggstions and point her in the right direction! Don't write the code for her! How is she going to learn anything if your doing her work for her?

Hi all
I realise this is probably the most basic C# question I could ask, so apologies in advance, but I have searched everywhere and just can't seem to find a complete answer, all in one place.
I have a class called Donor. Inside Donor, I have properties such as Name, Address, Telephone, etc, but I would also like a collection of Donation classes.
The Donation class has properties such as Date, Amount, MethodOfPayment, etc.
So, I have a Donor class and a Donation class. And I would like my Donor class to contain a collection of Donation classes, which can be added to, removed from, and iterated around using foreach.
Could someone show me the basic steps I need to go through in order to achieve this, or point me in the direction of a good example that encompasses this problem.
Many thanks
M

You might consider having you Donation class inherit from CollectionBase which is an abstract base class for a strongly typed collection. There is a perfect example on MSDN located here[^]. If you have further questions please feel free to ask.

Here you are trying to create collection of your own type. That is cool. But before starting this, Please go through this article, which discuss clearly about custom collection and iteration. I recommand you to read this for better understanding of custom collection.

Hi all, I am trying to pass a function name as a parameter and use it to create an OracleDataReader:
<br />
private void DataHandler(string type, string function)<br />
{<br />
AuthViewsLookup myLookup = new AuthViewsLookup(m_AppParam);<br />
<br />
OracleDataReader rdr = myLookup.function;<br />
<br />
while(rdr.Read())<br />
{<br />
}<br />
<br />
rdr.Close();<br />
}<br />
setting the reader to myLookup.function does not work, b/c it wants the actual function name. How can I make this work? Thanks for any help.
