Really!? Wow, I hadn't even thought of that 
The question was for the OP. If you bothered to actually look at the code that was posted I can't find where the session variable is actually being set. But then you are obviously better and wiser than I. Please teach me.

Because you're setting the text in that field by JavaScript, it's probably not getting sent in a postback. Show us the code on the button that saves the state.
Also, you should store the number of $50 and $100 tickets in the back end, and recalculate the price. If you read the price from postback, it is trivial to modify the post request so that you buy 3 $50 tickets for $2.

I have a table which have a filed which is xml type, and some more fields such as name and id.i want to read the xml field as well as the other fields in C#, i searched and got this
XmlReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteXmlReader();
but i want to get the other data in the table too. is there any option to do this using one command , or do i have to call two times to get the data.
any idea.
thanks in advance.

XmlDocument document = new XmlDocument();
using (SqlDataReader dr = oComm.ExecuteReader())
{
if (dr.Read())
{
if (!dr.IsDBNull(0))
document.Load(dr.GetSqlXml(0).CreateReader());
}
}
I think this is what you want

Using a windows app to batch run a DOS program.
Need to wait until the DOS app has finished before going on with the next file.
Using:
Process.Start(thecommand, thearguments);
System.Diagnostics.Process p = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess();
while (!p.HasExited)
{
aaa=5;
}
but it seems to be waiting for my windows app to end, not the DOS app. I can see my DOS app running in a DOS window, and it closes when finished (it takes about a minute to run), but my app sits there in the while loop. I put a breakpoint at aaa = 5; and the app definitely sits in that loop.

Uh, that's because you're assigning p to the current process, i.e. the one you are running! I think you want
Process p = Process.Start(thecommand, thearguments);

I must have misunderstood the examples in the answers to other similar questions!!
Working now.

What is better in terms of good coding practices:
protected virtual void RenderFilledHead(DrawingContext drawingContext)
{
double y = NoteVerticalPosition;
double yRadius = HeadYRadius * 1.1;
double xRadius = HeadXRadius * 1.2;
drawingContext.DrawEllipse(Brushes.Black, NoteHeadPen, new Point(xRadius / 2 + XOffset + 4.5, y), xRadius - 1, yRadius);
}
protected virtual void RenderEmptyHead(DrawingContext drawingContext)
{
double y = NoteVerticalPosition;
double yRadius = HeadYRadius * 1;
double xRadius = HeadXRadius * 1;
drawingContext.DrawEllipse(Brushes.Transparent, NoteBeamPen, new Point(xRadius / 2 + XOffset + 4.5, y), xRadius - 1, yRadius);
}
XOR
protected virtual void RenderHead(DrawingContext drawingContext, NoteHeadTypes type)
{
double y = NoteVerticalPosition;
double xRadius=0, yRadius=0;
switch (type)
{
case NoteHeadTypes.Filled:
yRadius = HeadYRadius * 1.1;
xRadius = HeadXRadius * 1.2;
drawingContext.DrawEllipse(Brushes.Black, NoteHeadPen, new Point(xRadius / 2 + XOffset + 4.5, y), xRadius - 1, yRadius)
break;
case NoteHeadTypes.Empty:
yRadius = HeadYRadius;
xRadius = HeadXRadius;
drawingContext.DrawEllipse(Brushes.Transparent, NoteBeamPen, new Point(xRadius / 2 + XOffset + 4.5, y), xRadius - 1, yRadius);
default:
break;
}
}
NOTE 1: there won't be any more HeadTypes probably.
NODE 2: No, it is not about empty or filled human heads, it's about musical notation

EDIT: added "*1" to emphasize that it is a factor as good as '1.2'

Probably a matter of taste, but I like the second one better.
That shows that apart from different radiusses you are dealing with the same thing. That's harder to see with the first approach.

What about the following:
protected virtual void RenderHead(DrawingContext drawingContext, NoteHeadTypes type)
{
double y = NoteVerticalPosition;
double xRadius=HeadXRadius;
double yRadius=HeadYRadius;
Pen myPen = NoteBeamPen;
Brush myBrush = Brushes.Transparent;
switch (type)
{
case NoteHeadTypes.Filled:
yRadius *= 1.1;
xRadius *= 1.2;
myPen = NoteHeadPen;
myBrush = Brushes.Black;
break;
default:
break;
}
drawingContext.DrawEllipse(myBrush, myPen, new Point(xRadius / 2 + XOffset + 4.5, y), xRadius - 1, yRadius);
}[Edited]myPen wasn't allocated via a constructor, so it shouldn't be disposed, and I'd missed the alternate brush.
|

|

Sniped!
I think you actually don't want to dispose the pen in this case, though, because it's being read out of a global variable which is presumably caching it.
(Also, the brush is different for the two cases, like the pen.)
|
|
|
|
|
I missed the brushes case, and you're right - the Pen shouldn't be disposed. For some reason I thought I'd newed it.
|
|
|
|
|
I don't like it because it prefers Brushes.Transparent over Brushes.Black. Both brushes are equal. Here, if switch goes to the default case, then Brushes.Transparent would be used despite there isn't any reason to use it and not Brushes.Pink. The same with radius factors -- factor '1.2' isn't more special than '1'.

Fair point, but you could simply exit out in the default case (I've never been a fan of default in switch statements - it's always seemed that it should be for the error case).

Oh these sexy quotation boxes.
Well, it still visually suggests that Transparent is a default value, because brush is assigned twice. Oh and redutant assignment == wasted CPU cycles.

I rather agree – see my post where I used the default for a throw. When you're switching on an enum it's usual that you have defined behaviour for all cases and anything unexpected should throw an exception.

I prefer the second, but I'd take the ellipse drawing out of the switch, since the logic is (to me) 'set up parameters depending on head type, then draw it' and the last part is common. So I'd do:
protected virtual void RenderHead(DrawingContext drawingContext, NoteHeadTypes type)
{
double y = NoteVerticalPosition;
double xRadiusFactor, yRadiusFactor;
Brush brush;
Pen pen;
switch (type)
{
case NoteHeadTypes.Filled:
yRadiusFactor = 1.1;
xRadiusFactor = 1.2;
brush = Brushes.Black;
pen = NoteHeadPen;
break;
case NoteHeadTypes.Empty:
yRadiusFactor = xRadiusFactor = 1;
brush = Brushes.Transparent;
pen = NoteBeamPen;
break;
default:
throw new ArgumentException("Unknown head type");
}
double xRadius = HeadXRadius * xRadiusFactor,
yRadius = HeadYRadius * yRadiusFactor;
drawingContext.DrawEllipse(brush, pen, xRadius / 2 + XOffset + 4.5, y, xRadius - 1, yRadius);
}
|

This is good, I like explicitness of all assignments, like brush, pen and xyRadiusFactor. DrawEllipse may change individually for each method, but this solution makes future refactoring easy.

I'd personally go for option 1, I'm of the opinion that switches are evil, but everytime I express this view I get downvoted. Rather than explain why here, have a look at SwitchStatementsSmell[^].
If you can't alter your class design much, you could consider this option (removing duplication under the "DRY" principle) :
virtual void RenderHead(DrawingContext drawingContext,
Brush brush = Brushes.Transparent,
Pen pen = NoteBeamPen,
decimal xScale =1,
decimal yScale =1)
{
double y = NoteVerticalPosition;
double yRadius = HeadYRadius * yScale;
double xRadius = HeadXRadius * xScale;
drawingContext.DrawEllipse(brush, pen, new Point(xRadius / 2 + XOffset + 4.5, y), xRadius - 1, yRadius);
}
protected virtual void RenderHead(DrawingContext drawingContext, NoteHeadTypes type)
{
if(type==NoteHeadTypes.Filled)
RenderHead(drawingContext, Brushes.Black, NoteHeadPen, 1.2, 1.1);
else if(type==NoteHeadTypes.Empty)
RenderHead(drawingContext);
}
Note this code only works with .net 4 (for brevity), but the named arguments can easily be refactored back.

I prefer to remove the switch smell, but sometimes it's overkill. In all things there should be balance.

Sorry, but it's all bad.
1. First of all, it doesn't compile because neither NoteBeamPen nor Brushes.X are constant.
2. It is not clear what 'factors' RenderHead(drawingContext) are. I don't see why factor '1' should be 'more default' than, e.g. 0 or 10 or 1.5 or whatever.
3. Additionally, drawingContext.DrawEllipse is not actually redutant code. It can change to 'DrawGeometry' or other stuff in future, and then it would require refactoring if different geometry was used in these methods. And, using your solution refactoring wouldn't be straightforward.
4. You have replaced switch with ifs which doesn't actually change devilness.

I didn't copile it as I don't know which namespaces you are using, just describing the princple. Perhaps I should have made this clear.

This defaults to the "empty" version, but that is all they are defaults. You could default to whatever you feel safest, but defaulting to the one that scales at 1 makes the most sense to me.
For both the points above,you can drop the defaults totally and pass these in makes you feel any better, without altering the key point I made.

I didn't say that was redundant, just that you have repeated code, as other posters have pointed this out to you too. Further refactoring is unlikely be a huge chore, and you'd only need to do code on one place most probably. In any case I also question the wisdom of future-proofing against "geometry changes" unless they are reasonably certain to change. On this last point, if these are likely to change, how we we be able to tell, answer: we can't wihtout you letting us know your requirements.

Well they cannot be constant unless it was a 'null' constant.
I do not agree with an idea of defining "default" values, even if their usage is optional. In my opinion, method signature should force developer to explicitely assign parameters. And it is not all about providing more precise requirements. But well, you are impressively good in defending your ideas, 5 for this

If switch statements 'smell', then
if(thing == option1) ...
else if(thing == option2) ...
... also smells, and (unless it's a type for which switch is not supported in the language) it is worse than doing the switch explicitly because it's harder to see that that's what you're doing.
The rule of thumb is to do with duplication. If he's switching on this enum in several places, perhaps the class hierarchy should be adjusted so that it is not an enum, it is a class tree with a Render method (and methods for the other operations that are being switched on). There isn't really any evidence to suggest that that is the case in the original post, though, and it's somewhat outside the scope of the question that was asked.
