Sounds like a plan especially if you need something now. Andrew's book doesn't show as much internals and MSIL, but it's definitely a good book - probably the best intermediate level book on the shelves right now.

That's right. I need something now. I have read alot of reviews on Amazon and sample chapters, so it looks like "C# and the .NET platform" is the book for me now.
Thanks for your help.

I have a datagrid bound to a dataset but its not displaying the table - initially all it shows is a '+', if I click on this it expands to 'Tables', and if I click on that I get the table that I want displayed.
Can anyone enlighten me as to why it doesn't display the table directly?
Here is the database code (all this is done in the Form_Load handler)...
OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection();
conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;"
+ "User Id=Admin;Password=;"
+ @"Data Source=C:\Visual Studio Projects\mscale\debug\di-80product.mdb;";
conn.Open();
OleDbDataAdapter adapter = new OleDbDataAdapter();
OleDbCommand selectCmd = new OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM PRODUCT", conn);
adapter.SelectCommand = selectCmd;
DataSet ds = new DataSet("ds");
dataGrid1.DataMember = "PRODUCT";
dataGrid1.DataSource = ds;
adapter.Fill(ds);
|
|
|
|
|
Never mind, figured this one out finally, all it needed was to specify the table name in the Fill method:
adapter.Fill(ds, "PRODUCT");
Bingo! works

Hi
I want to use a combobox in a listview as one of the row items.
The user can then see all relevant rows and then select an item from the
combobox without my having to use a popup window for this entry.
I'm sure this was covered in a teched/MSDN session, but can anyone show me
how this is done?
Thanks
Simon

Doesn't it irritate you when seemingly innocuous changes to a control or form render the VS.NET designer useless? Change one little thing and you end up with any number of obscure error messages, my personal favorite
"An error occured while loading the document. Fix the error, and then load the document again. The error message follows. Unspecified error"
I'm actually getting used to not using the forms designer at all because of this.
Has anyone experienced something similar? I'm on RC1

The only time I had the designer do that to me was when something was at fault in my code, especially in the drawing code.
If your code throws an uncaught exception this causes the big red x you see in the form.
Hopefully this will at least give you some reason as to why you get the designer errors.

Thanks James, but why then does removing the offending code usually not help?

Off the top of my head it might be pulling a previous version up; I had a very hard time getting VS.NET to sync the latest build of the control and my test projects.
What I wound up doing was having 2 VS.NETs open, one to work on my control the other to do testing with; before I would compile the control I would remove the reference to it from the project; recompile the control then re-add the reference.
This was before I found out about project references though, and now I don't have VS.NET installed so I can't see if that solves the problems I was experiencing.
HTH,
James

I had a terrible time getting my control icons to work. I finally discovered that VS.NET was caching the icons based on the assembly version. I had no AssemblyInfo.cs file (or its equivalent) and so my version stayed at 0.0.0.0 and my icon was not changing. Once I set my version to 1.0.0.* my icons worked properly.
Otherwise I have no problem using controls from one project in another project under the same solution and under the same instance of the IDE. I just have to remember to build my control assembly before trying to use it (ie in the Form Designer of another project).

How does one create explorer bars and desk bands in C#? The standard library doesn't seem to have this prepackaged.
Thanks.

What are the key differences between these two technologies...?
Anytihng I have written in MFC, will it port fairly easily to MFC...?
Example...if I use the intel RTDSC instruction...?
Is the windows API still available...?
Will a generic C++ class be useable...?
Thanx!!

I'm sorry if this is a newbie question, but I am trying to spawn another process from within a C# application, loading up an external tool such as a batch file or an executable with command line parameters and such. What do I need to do to do this? Thanks,

The System.Diagnostics.Process class lets you start up and control a process (ie program)
There's quite a bit of info to go along with that so its best that you look it up before using it

Hi!
Has anyone had any attempts on using the system.web.hosting classes for hosting ASP.NET pages outside IIS.
I'm trying to build a simple ASP server to service some localy hosted ASP pages on a machine that does not have IIS installed.Building the server and client itself is not a problem, but I can't seem to understand how/what the server will have to do to process the pages and return the result to the client.
Anyone?
Regards,
Roger

I come from an MFC background where in general the hungarian naming convention is used: variables are preceded by a mnemonic representing their type, e.g. an int starts with 'n' - "nCount", a string starts with 'str' - "strName", etc. Also member variables in a class are preceded by 'm_'.
Looking through the sample code in VS.NET it is obvious this kind of naming convention is not used in C# so what is generally used? Does Microsoft specify any standard?
|
|
|
|
|
I was reading somewhere recently that Microsoft no longer recommends nor uses Hungarian.
"Thank you, thank you very much" Elvis.
|
|
|
|
|

MS doesn't suggest using hungarian notation anymore, instead they suggest using, um... I forget the word :-P
For publicly accessable variables/properties/fields use MyVariable
For private variables/properties/fields use myVariable [Camel casing?]
Method names regardless of scope use MyMethod, classes the same MyClass.
For exceptions end the exception name with Exception, attributes should end with Attribute.
Thats all i can remember right now [not at my home PC].
HTH,
James
