The Font dropdown in the properties window should show all installed fonts.
It is possible to have font files in the Fonts Directory that have not been installed.
So firstly, make sure that the font you are looking for has been installed. (Open the Fonts Directory in Explorer and right-click, just in case you don't know.)

Search through list of objects.

I have a list that consists of 'customer'-objects. Every 'customer' has a full name, address, email, and phone. Now I want to be able to do a search that lets the user type in information in a form and then perform a search based on the information the user typed in. In the form the user can type in 'first name', 'last name', 'address' and so on.

But how do I compare the information the user types in with the information stored in the 'customer' objects? If the user only types in the 'first name' and 'phone' for example the search must pick out all 'customers' that matches that.

Thanks for help!

So, you go through all your objects, and you match all with the same first name, and phone, if that's what they typed.

Maybe you can modify this a bit to suit your own needs. I am searching on one given string in a text box and pull all data in the DB to a listbox.

private void btnSearch_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    FillListBox(textBox1.Text);
}

public void FillListBox(string searchValue)
{
    try
    {
        dataTable.Clear();

        DataAdapter =
            new OleDbDataAdapter
            ("Select [PicId], [Path] From [Pics] WHERE PicId = '" +
            searchValue + "'", conn);
        DataAdapter.Fill(dataTable);

        listBox1.DataSource = dataTable;
        listBox1.DisplayMember = "Path";
        listBox1.ValueMember = "Path";
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message.ToString());
    }
}

Thanks for your replies.

I came up with a solution that worked well but I don't know if it's optimal:

I search through all the information stored in each customer in the list. If the information in the customer object matches the information the user typed in the textbox the result is stored in a new list. If the information in the search textbox is empty it's also seen as a match. See below:

public int[] SearchCustomers(Customer searchCustomer)
{
//Create list for search results.
searchResult = new List<Customer>();

//Loop through all information in the customer-objects.
searchResult = customers.FindAll(delegate(Customer C) { return SearchFirstName(C, searchCustomer); });
searchResult = searchResult.FindAll(delegate(Customer C) { return SearchLastName(C, searchCustomer); });

searchResult = searchResult.FindAll(delegate(Customer C) { return SearchCity(C, searchCustomer); });
searchResult = searchResult.FindAll(delegate(Customer C) { return SearchCountry(C, searchCustomer); });
searchResult = searchResult.FindAll(delegate(Customer C) { return SearchStreet(C, searchCustomer); });
searchResult = searchResult.FindAll(delegate(Customer C) { return SearchZip(C, searchCustomer); });

searchResult = searchResult.FindAll(delegate(Customer C) { return SearchCellPhone(C, searchCustomer); });
searchResult = searchResult.FindAll(delegate(Customer C) { return SearchHomePhone(C, searchCustomer); });

searchResult = searchResult.FindAll(delegate(Customer C) { return SearchEmail(C, searchCustomer); });

The final result is a list containing the matches of all search words.

hello

This scripts runs okay on SQL*Plus and TOAD (using same account "dev") but not sure when I try to wire it down through "System.Data.OracleClient" I keep getting the following error:

<br />
ORA-06550: line 1, column 8:\nPLS-00103: Encountered the symbol \"\" when expecting one of the following:\n\n   begin function package pragma procedure subtype type use\n   ... System.Data.OracleClient.OracleException...<br />

		RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20000, 'AuditTrail.oracle.tables.sql - install failed');<br />
END;<br />

As you can see, the script is anonymous block taking no argument

And I looked at the code, can't see anything wrong.

<br />
oCmd = oConn.CreateCommand();<br />
				oCmd.CommandText = DBUtil.FixParameterNameForOracle(oContext.DefaultDBProvider, StringUtil.ReplaceSpecialTokens(SQL));<br />
				oCmd.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.Text;<br />
<br />
				oDataSet = new DataSet(CmdFilePath);<br />
				oTable = new DataTable(Name);<br />
				oDataSet.Tables.Add(oTable);<br />
				oAdapter = oFactory.CreateDataAdapter();<br />
				<br />
				oAdapter.SelectCommand = (DbCommand)oCmd;<br />
				oAdapter.Fill(oDataSet, Name);<br />

oCmd is of type "System.Data.OracleClient.OracleCommand". And it takes no parameter or input argument. I googled a bit closest I found is this:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/adodotnetdataproviders/thread/579b5a98-ec74-4f6f-b5b4-6919d8bc3e7c/[^]

But my script contains no parameter.

Also, using "oCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()" instead of dataAdapter.Fill didn't help. I finally found one get around (NOT A DECENT SOLUTION!), that is to collapse the multiline script to single line!

<br />
DECLARE count_item int; BEGIN SELECT count(1) into count_item FROM user_sequences WHERE sequence_name = 'AUDITLOGSEQUENCE'; IF count_item > 0 THEN begin dbms_output.put_line('drop sequence AUDITLOGSEQUENCE'); EXECUTE IMMEDIATE ('DROP SEQUENCE AUDITLOGSEQUENCE'); end; ELSE dbms_output.put_line('no need to drop AUDITLOGSEQUENCE'); END IF; EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE SEQUENCE AUDITLOGSEQUENCE MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999 START WITH 1 INCREMENT BY 1 CACHE 20'; dbms_output.put_line('AUDITLOGSEQUENCE created'); SELECT count(1) into count_item FROM user_tables WHERE table_name = 'LOG'; IF count_item > 0 THEN begin dbms_output.put_line('drop table LOG'); EXECUTE IMMEDIATE ('DROP TABLE LOG'); end; ELSE dbms_output.put_line('no need to drop table LOG'); END IF; EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE TABLE LOG (Id  numeric(19,0) NOT NULL, CreateDate date default sysdate NOT NULL, Thread varchar (255) NOT NULL, LogLevel varchar (50) NOT NULL, Logger varchar (255) NOT NULL, Message varchar (4000) NOT NULL, InnerException varchar (2000) NULL,CONSTRAINT PK_LOG PRIMARY KEY (Id))'; dbms_output.put_line('table LOG created'); dbms_output.put_line('setup complete'); END;<br />

What the hell!? I have a big script next and I'm really not impressed ... any suggestion besides this?

Thanks

How to read multiple lines from a file and save them into one variable (to be saved into the DB)

Nopo6-Apr-09 21:01

Hi all,

I'm reading files from a certain folder and save everything into the database. I have a problem of reading multiple lines for a certain heading in a file and save them into one variable (to be saved into the database later).

e.g File content looks like this:

1. Date of Transaction :
20030728

2. Type of funds :
_Cash

3. Amount of Transaction(s) in Rand Value:
13500.00

4. Currency :
ZAR

PART H: List of available documents
Deal slip
Moneygram form
Copy of ID
BOP form
Gift declaration

I'm reading each line and save the value into a variable to be saved in the databse. e.g:

while ((line = reader.ReadLine()) != null)
{
if (line != null && line.Contains("1. Date of transaction :"))
{
line = reader.ReadLine();
DateOfTransaction = line;
line = reader.ReadLine();
}
if (line != null && line.Contains("2. Type of funds :"))
{
line = reader.ReadLine();
TypeOfFunds = line;
line = reader.ReadLine();
}
if (line != null && line.Contains("3. Amount of Transaction(s) in Rand Value:"))
{
line = reader.ReadLine();
AmountOfTransaction = line;
line = reader.ReadLine();
}
if (line != null && line.Contains("4. Currency :"))
{
line = reader.ReadLine();
Currency = line;
line = reader.ReadLine();
}
if (line != null && line.Contains("PART H: List of available documents :"))
{
line = reader.ReadLine();
PartHListOfAvailableDocs = line;
line = reader.ReadLine();
}
}

Heading (PART H: List of available documents) from the file is having multiple lines underneath it. How do I read each line and save them all in variable 'PartHListOfAvailableDocs'.

I'd really appreciate your help in this regard.

Thanks.

Hi,

you could create a loop which reads a line, appends it to what you already have (with a separator), and test for done, which either is something you would recognize as end of list, or end of file/stream.

Yours is a strange file format!

If you want your base type to provide some default functionality out of the box, go for an abstract class. If you want everything to be up to your derived types, go for an interface.

For instance, if I want a Parser type whose descendants will parse files from multiple clients but those file formats have nothing in common, I'd make Parser an interface.

Also bear in mind you can inherit a type from at most one class, abstract or not. Interfaces don't have such restrictions.

sorry for my bad English

- use abstract when you want to design code that only in serial derivation objects
- use interface when you want to design code that can be implemented in parallel derivation objects

sample for using abstract object

public abstract class A(){...}
public abstract class B(){...}
//this class will get the published attribute from class A
class DA : A{...}
//this class will get the published attribute from class B
class DB : B{...}
//below this cannot be applied
//class AB : A,B{...}

you can compare to this sample of using interface

public interface IA{...}
public interface IB{...}
//this class will get the published attribute from interface IA
class A : IA{...}
//this class will get the published attribute from interface IB
class B : IB{...}
//this class will get the published attribute from both interface IA and IB, this is the difference implementation from abstract
class AB : IA, IB {...}

there are plenty resources from net, try search in Google with keywords "OOP in C#"
hope it helps
