One solution indeed could be to throw an exception when an invalid value is entered.
But you should capture this error in the user interface before the data is entered into the model you are using.
The exception is only for the other developers that use your model in their applications.

At first thanks for the answer.
The class I'm writing is part of a class library, so I don't write a GUI myself. I'm searching for a way, to let an user of the class check for validity of an assigned value no matter if it happens directly in code or via GUI. Currently I favor the following solution:
public double Alpha
{
set
{
if (value <= 0)
throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("Assigned value has to be greater 0");
this.alpha = value;
}
}
public bool IsValidAlpha(double value)
{
return value > 0;
}
}
if (obj.IsValidAlpha(1.0))
obj.Alpha = 1.0;
else
...

You should be calling IsValidAlpha from within the setter instead of duplicating the code.

Hi:
I want to give an arbitrary number of arguments/parameters to a method and have it modify the arguments. C# says I cannot combine params and ref in the method decleration.
Please could someone suggest what I should do?
Thanks, Sam

Throw the objects you want to pass inside an array or ArrayList (or List<> if you're using .NET 2.0). Pass the array or list as an argument, where you can then modify the elements of the array/list.

How can I read a specific bit or series of bits (as a bit array) from a file. I can use a file stream and binary reader to get specific bytes but I do not know how to easily convert this into a bit array (at least not very efficiently).

To turn a byte into bits, bool is the most obvious choice ( the only one I can think of with 2 states ) and you & the value with 0x1, 0x2, 0x4, 0x8, ox10, etc to strip the bits.
I reckon this is what you've thought of, but I don't know of any more efficient way, excepting that I'd be more inclined to do this when I need the value, and not store it as bits in memory.

I still wonder if there's a quicker way - but speed is not essential for what I am doing - reading mp3 header information.

How can I set the position that is used for determining which item is chosen by the user pressing the up/down arrow keys? I've tried .Items[pos].Selected which works if called after the form is loaded, but it doesn't work when called from the constructor.

Answering my own question. making the call in the load event handler did the trick.

I'm creating a class that inherits from TreeView, the structure of the treeview ends up like this:
MapCategory
-Map
--MapFolder
---MapContents
-Map
MapCategory
-Map
etc. The class has two view modes, which arrange the contents into different folders. It's a complete change so I clear the Map node's children and recreate by parsing through a nested Hashtable.
However this is slow, parsing through the hashtable doesn't take long at all, but removing/adding nodes does take a noticable time. I tried to serialize the two views, but TreeNodeCollection isn't serializable, and copying the nodes out of the collection into an array, serializing it, then deserializing it into an AddRange() method call doesn't improve speed at all, since it still has to add them all.
Is there any quicker way of switching these views?
|

|
|
|
Could you not just have 2 treeviews, one for each view. Then just display the correct view?
|
|
|
|
|
That's my last resort, however I would prefer a solution that doesn't use up that much memory. Since each map can take up to 2MB of memory for one view, and 6MB for the other view, so having 8MB for each map could be too much. Actually on second thoughts that's not how much the nodes take up, I was watching the memory in the Task Manager, forgeting it's also loading the map at the same time. But memory is still an issue, just not that big an issue.

Don't know if you've solved it yet, but the tree exposes two functions called BeginUpdate and EndUpdate . Put the BeginUpdate before any tree modifications and EndUpdate when you're done. Should do the trick.

Pen p = new Pen( Color.Blue );
p.EndCap = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LineCap.Triangle
//How do I get it triangle to be bigger?
//How do I get a dashed line?
Thanks a lot in advance.....

Hello Dear SkunkedWorks
For drawing Dashed Line use these sample codes :
dashValues is an array of dash's length.
float[] dashValues = {5, 2, 15, 4};
Pen blackPen = new Pen(Color.Black, 5);
blackPen.DashPattern = dashValues;
e.Graphics.DrawLine(blackPen, new Point(5, 5), new Point(405, 5));
Bye.

I like formatting my constructor initializers like this:
public MyClass(int a) :
base(a)
{
}but for some reason VS 2005 likes formatting them like this:
public MyClass(int a)
:
base(a)
{
}It's really annoying and I haven't found a way to prevent it. Anyone have any tips?
Thanks,
Alvaro

VS2005 has alot of autoformating features that you can turn on and off. You can even turn on adding a space before and after a . for a class member. Its one of the many settings, but I don't know why they have some of them. I would look in the options->Customize and see if you can find these autoformat settings.

I've looked but found nothing. I'm hoping there's some undocumented Registry setting or something like that to allow me to adjust it.
I find it hard to believe the Microsoft guys actually like using that convention. I've never seen it before -- what a waste of space!
Thanks,
Alvaro

When my listview control loses focus the selected item is unhighlighted but not removed from the SelectedItems collection. How can I keep it highlighted even after a different control gains focus.

Sent the .HideSelection property to false.

I have a user that is wanting to automatically log in to some web pages, and I've got most of them doing this, but there's still one that's giving me fits that I'm hoping someone can help me with. I'm writing the code in C#, and am displaying the webpage via the Microsoft Web Browser COM component. The webpage that I'm having issues with is popping up a login box that looks very much like an AD login box. Any idea how I can capture control for this box so I can programatically populate it and hit the "OK" button?

Some more information:
I'm using the old VB WebBrowser COM Component (AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser). I think I've narrowed it down to the fact that I need the headers passed to the Navigate method to include the authentication information, but I'm not quite sure how to do this. Does anyone have any sample code (like this for Posting) for the Headers/Authentication?
Thanks

Hi.
I am trying to build a VS 2005 addin and I want to add a commandbar with a custom image (I am using VS's AddNamedCommand and a satellite dll). It seems that if the image is 16-colored then it is correctly attached to the commandbar. If it is 256-colored, then all I can get is a blank (missing) image. Is there any way to have 256 bitmaps attached to custom commandbars? Thanks.
