In it's simplest form of explanation, I'm just trying to expand "complex" macros in a string.
For example, say the caller calls me with "My dogs' name is $[User:Dog]". I need to return "My dogs' name is Spot".
I can have simple macros like $[DateTime] or more "complex" macros like $[User:Fullname=true].
I'm already caching the Regex object to save on the Regex engine having to parse the expression every time.
My other idea besides the $A1 / $B2 thing was to maybe on the first parse to build a string for a C# method like:
static void DummyFunc(User user)
{
return String.Format("My dogs' name is {0} and today is {1}.", user.DogName, DateTime.Now);
}
and compile it into a temp assembly. Or to do something similar using expression trees. My first thought went to the generating C# code at runtime and compiling it because doing something like this with expression trees is a big ol' PITA since I would need to call a bunch of functions to expand all the macros available.

Got bored waiting for your reply to my reply lol, so I tried my generating C# code at runtime and compiling into a temp in-memory assembly and creating a cached delegate to the compiled method. Works like a charm. The code is pretty gangster too  ! This is what the XML serializer does I believe.

It sounds almost like you want to write your own DSL for this. Our very own Sacha Barber wrote a very interesting article about this[^] very topic.

I don't because it typically doesn't get called enough. And when it gets called more than a couple of times it is often within something else and the 'rest' of the block has more impact.
If I needed to and given that your expressions look complicated I would probably first start by building a tree of computed expressions as a hashes and use the entire expression as a key (rather than attempting to replace each) and the value is the computed expression.

It sounds as though there is a problem with your binding, but impossible to guess without seeing your code. Please edit your question and add the required detail.

if (dgDetail.CurrentRow.Cells["Product"].Value != null)
{
dt = db.select("select PC.id,PC.ProductCode,(Ph.Header + '-'+ PS.SubProduct) Product from tblProductCodes PC INNER JOIN tblProductSub PS on PS.id=PC.SubProductID INNER JOIN tblProductHeader PH on PH.id=PS.Header where PS.id='" + dgDetail.CurrentRow.Cells["Product"].Value.ToString() + "'and PC.id not in (select ProductCode from tblInvoiceDetail)");
ProductCode.DataSource = dt;
ProductCode.ValueMember = "ID";
ProductCode.DisplayMember = "ProductCode";
if (dgDetail.CurrentRow.Cells["ProductCode"].Value != null)
{
dgDetail.CurrentRow.Cells["CostPrice"].Value = objDB.GetDataField("select CostPrice from tblProductCodes where subProductID='" + dgDetail.CurrentRow.Cells["Product"].Value.ToString() + "' and id='" + dgDetail.CurrentRow.Cells["ProductCode"].Value.ToString() + "'", "CostPrice");
}
}
This is my code the product column is for select products and productcode column is for select product's type related to products

I have a PropertyGrid in an application. I have a problem with a functionallity reverting to a old value if I detect the new value as invalid.
Here is some short information abut the PropertyGrid:
* There are properties which are strings.
* I cannot allow an empty string for any properties.
* I want a revert functionallity to revert to the old value.
* The PropertyGrid is localized so the DisplayName of each property is NOT the same as the name of the property.
With the event
PropertyGrid.PropertyValuechanged I can get what property was changed.
The event's callback pass a
PropertyCalueChangedEventArgs object which I use revert with these properties:
PropertyValueChangedEventArgs.OldValue
PropertyValueChangedEventArgs.ChangedItem.Label
This gets the old value and the DisplayName of the property which was changed.
Here is the class I display in the PropertyGrid:
public class Person
{
public Person()
{
}
public string FirtName
{
get;
set;
}
public string LastName
{
get;
set;
}
public int Age
{
get;
set;
}
}
I use this code to revert back to the old value:
private void Revert(object obj, string name, string oldValue)
{
Type type = obj.GetType();
PropertyInfo property = type.GetProperty(name);
property.SetValue(obj, oldValue, null);
}
The PropertyGrid.PropertyValuechanged event has this callback:
void propertyGrid1_PropertyValueChanged(object s, PropertyValueChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.ChangedItem.Value is string && e.ChangedItem.Value.ToString() == "")
{
Revert(propertyGrid1.SelectedObject, e.ChangedItem.Label, e.OldValue.ToString());
}
}
The IF-satement will detect any new values which is an empty string.
Here is the problem
As the DisplayName of each property in the PropertyGrid is localized the PropertyValueChangedEventArgs.ChangedItem.Label will contain the localized name and not the actual name of the property.
For instance the Person.FirstName property will be localized to "First name". Therefore the Revert() method will try to get a property called "First name" as name instead of "FirstName". This of course will not work.
I have search for ways to get the actual property which was changed. It seems almost impossible...
But with the debug in Visual Studio I can see that the
PropertyValueChangedEventArgs.ChangedItem
is a base class of the internal .Net Framework class
System.Windows.Forms.PropertyGridInternal.PropertyDescriptorGridEntry Read more about it here[^]
This class contain a property called "PropertyName" which is the exact name as the property's actual name!!!
With reflection I have tried to get this class by trying:
void propertyGrid1_PropertyValueChanged(object s, PropertyValueChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.ChangedItem.Value.ToString() == "")
{
GridItem item = e.ChangedItem;
object[] objs = item.GetType().GetFields(BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
Console.WriteLine(objs.Length);
object o = item.GetType().GetMember("parentPE");
}
}
In the object[] array it seems to be a field which is name "parentPE". This is of type:
System.Windows.Forms.PropertyGridInternal.GridEntry
I have no luck getting the object 
Is there a solution for this?
Note:
I'm aware I should not use reflection to access internal classes of the .NET framework. But I cannot see any other solution in the moment. I'm all for any other solutions.
Best regards,
/Steffe

The ChangedItem property is declared as the public GridItem type[^].
That type exposes a property called PropertyDescriptor[^], which returns a PropertyDescriptor instance[^].
The PropertyDescriptor class has a property called Name[^], which returns the name of the property without any localization.
void propertyGrid1_PropertyValueChanged(object s, PropertyValueChangedEventArgs e)
{
PropertyDescriptor theProperty = e.PropertyDescriptor;
if (theProperty != null)
{
string propertyName = theProperty.Name;
...
}
}

This is easily done in each of your properties Set code. Just check the value of the incoming string and don't set the new value in the backing field of the property if it's empty or null.
You don't need any of the PropertyGrid code to do this.
Localized property names don't even come into play.

To add to the other comments; if it depends on internals, then it is not a solution - it's a dirty hack that may stop working without any warning.

I am new to this control and was given task on this i don't know how to bind data or document to this document viewer please help me anyone.

I've never heard of it. Where's the documentation?
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

If you've got questions about a specific library, your best place to ask is in a forum dedicated to that library.
I doubt any of the regulars here has ever heard of the control you're talking about so it's very unlikely you're ever going to get an answer on it here.
Wow! Look what I found: A Support tab[^] that has Support Forums, Product Documentation, Getting Started Tutorials and Programmer's Guide and Reference!
All you had to do was go to their website and you would have found exactly what you're looking for, plus product focused support, if you just put the tiniest bit of effort into looking for it.

I have to start timer at 12AM daily. It has to execute 4 items i have with 15min interval
i.e, item1 should be executed @12, item2 @12 15 and so on
i have written below code:
To start timer @12Am :-
private void SetTimerValue()
{
//// trigger the event at 12 AM.
DateTime requiredTime = DateTime.Today.AddHours(0).AddMinutes(00);
if (DateTime.Now > requiredTime)
{
requiredTime = requiredTime.AddDays(1);
}
TimeSpan periodTS = requiredTime - DateTime.Now;
myTimer = new System.Threading.Timer(new TimerCallback(TimerAction), null, 0, (long)periodTS.TotalMilliseconds);
}
In TimerAction i have 4 items which has to be called @ 15min interval
public void TimerAction(object e)
{
var collection = new List<string> { "item1", "item2", "item3", item4" };
// When timer is 12am, execute item1
// When timer is 12 15am, execute item2
// When timer is 12 30am, execute item3
// When timer is 12 45am, execute item4
}
My question is :
1. Can i create seperate timer inside TimerAction method?
2. How should i loop and execute all these 4 items?
3. Is there any better approach?. Please guide me to do this.

Avoid generating new timers at all - they are a scarce resource, so you should try to keep them to a minimum.
A much, much better approach is to use a single timer, that has a smaller interval: 15 minutes, or maybe five minutes.
You then check the current DateTime against the main trigger time - 12 AM - and set a new time for the next task - 12:15.
When you hit (or pass) that time, you execute your task, and set the next time to 12:30, and so on.
