The plain TextBox uses just \n as line separator, while the RichTextBox uses \r\n.

			Size = new TV_3DVECTOR();<br />
			ColorR = 0;<br />
			ColorG = 0;<br />
			ColorR = 0;<br />
		}<br />
	}<br />
}<br />

I get my Error when i fist try to acces the array:
Grass[x, y, i].Position.x = PosX;

I really dont know why, because i init my array correcly (atleast i think).

Do u guys know what im doing wrong here?

You've only allocated memory for the array. For each index in that array, you need to call new GrassType() to allocate memory for each object, before attempting to use it.

You've allocated the array for your GrassType objects, but didn't instantiate the array elements.
Add
Grass[x,y,i] = new Grass();
after
MeshRandom = (float)random.NextDouble();
and you should be fine.

How do I pass listbox control to a class method and obtain access to the .items collection?

You would pass a reference to the control the same way you'd pass any variable to a method as a parameter:

void ClearList(ListBox listBox)
{
  listBox.Items.Clear();
}
 
void Example()
{
  ListBox listBox = new ListBox();
  ClearList(listBox);
}

PowerStatus()

9-May-05 18:04

Hi, i was trying to retrieve information about the status of the battery, and to access the properties i tried to create an instance like the following:

PowerStatus bat = new PowerStatus();

But the error that i receive is that the class PowerStatus doesn't have a constructor defined and when i checked the class it doesn't have the constructor like other classes, you know the one called "PowerStatus()",so i´m wondering: am i doing something wrong?? or is a problem of the .NET Framework 1.1 ??cause i tried different ways to declare the same thing

I appreciate your help

Re: PowerStatus()

Christian Graus9-May-05 18:18

A class that doesn't have a public constructor typically has only static methods, or is created via a factory class ( Bitmap for example is a class that works both ways, it has a constructor, and is it's own factor, with a number of static FromXXX methods ).

Here's the MSDN page that has a code sample to do what you want:

As Christian said, if it doesn't declare a public default constructor you can't instantiate it using the void parameter list. The PowerStatus class in .NET 2.0 does declare any public constructor, actually, meaning that you can't instantiate it.

According to the documentation, you can obtain a reference to it using the static SystemInformation.PowerStatus property:

PowerStatus status = SystemInformation.PowerStatus;
Console.WriteLine("Battery life remaining: {0}",
  status.BatteryLifePercent == 255f ? "Unknown" : status.BatteryLifePercent);

"Setup-Wizard-like" layout manager in C# ?

erajsri9-May-05 18:02

erajsri

9-May-05 18:02

Hi,
I'm building an app in C#. It's a Windows App and it needs this common functionality ( we probably get to see in many windows apps ) where the user can keep on pressing the "Next" button when he finished entering a certain amount of data to go to the next level / display different controls.
The situation Im trying to explain is similar to a Setup program that executes an installation, while you keep on pressing the "Next" button.

So how can i achieve this in C# ? I know that in Java there are several Layout Managers like Card Layout to handle this type of situations. The only way possible I think is to add all the controls to be displayed in each step to a collection of Panels and then toggle their visibilty as needed.

But isnt there any easier way like in Java to get the job done ?

Thanx in advance ! Smile | :)

If you want to show a whole lot of different screens, then I don't see a simpler way of doing it than creating panels as seperate user controls, then adding them all to your form. I'd put the page names into an array, the pages into a hash table by name, and add methods for go forward and backwards that look up the right panel to make visible, if you call an internal method that's a lot easier than trying to hide all panels but one in a lot of different places.

Thank you very much guys !

I looked up the Magic Wizard code project. I think thats more inline with my requirement. I actually do not hav the time to go thru it now, but when i get back home Ill take a look at it and say how well it suits my purpose, as well as .NET's work around for such a situation.

And also, it jus struck me that my original solution ( the panel collection ) is not that feasible, cos it would take up some memory overhead wudn't it ?

Thanx again guys , sorry for this late and hasty response.

Reading an Xml file into a jagged array need help

Can someone please help me with creating a loop to read from an Xml file into a jagged array.

The Xml file looks like this:

<test>
<problem type = "multichoice" elnumber = 8>
<question ID = 1>This is the question text</question>
<answer1>this is answer A</answer1>
<answer2>this is answer B</answer2>
<answer3>this is answer C</answer3>
<correct>answer2</correct>
<explanation>this is why</explanation>
</problem>

<problem type = "dragndrop" elnumber = 4>
<question ID = 2>This is the question text</question>
<explanation>this is why</explanation>
</problem>

Im using a jagged array because each question will have a different number of elements as shown above.

Can anyone suggest a good way to tackle this? An example code or structure would be appreciated. Thanks.

Just select all root nodes for questions, then for each one, iterate through the subnodes using a for...each, or another xpath if you just want the questions, and then build each array that way.
