hey, I've tried to use some regular expressions as well today and had a real hard time finding out the correct expression.
Do you have a good link or something that explains this? MSDN really s*cks on this.

thanks

I agree. But, unfortunately, at the moment, MSDN is my only reference on regular expressions.

Ask here at CP, I think there are a lot of people far more experts than me about regular expressions.

Try this property:
int numItems = listbox.Items.Count;

this works:

object[] objarr = new object[listBox1.Items.Count];
listBox1.Items.CopyTo(objarr,0);

You could use Array.ConvertAll to change the type from object to string or whatever you like.

Visual Studio can't evaluate this, can you?

public object moo<br />
        {<br />
__get { return moo; }<br />
__set { moo = value; }<br />
}

oh... to convert to string

string[] objarr = new string[listBox1.Items.Count];
listBox1.Items.CopyTo(objarr,0); Smile | :)

How do I display a dynamically generated ArrayList of custom objects in a WinForms datagrid in .NET 1.1? [modified]

I have a collection (ArrayList) of a type we'll call BoolPair. It is generated dynamically. BoolPair simply has two bools - bool1 and bool2. I'd like to display it in a DataGrid:
* with a header
* as three columns - the row number, and two strings that describe the values of bool1 and bool2.
* occupying the entire width of the datagrid

I have no problems exposing the bools as properties. Rama Krishna suggested I create properties and simply set the DataGrid's DataSource property to my ArrayList, but it has the following caveats:
1. I'm not able to format the header, i.e., choose the text to be displayed in the header
2. I don't get a row number (this is easy to fix, though)
3. The columns have the default width. I want them to occupy the entire width of the datagrid.

I *have* to use .NET 1.1. Thanks in advance. Smile | :)

You can change this either by turning off autogeneratecolumns for your datagrid, and adding the columns in the IDE via the properties window of the datagrid.

Another option is doing it by code. Datagrid and its columns have properties you can change at runtime. They might need a refresh, I'm not sure.

Visual Studio can't evaluate this, can you?

public object moo<br />
        {<br />
__get { return moo; }<br />
__set { moo = value; }<br />
}

dataGridView1.AutoGenerateColumns = false; --> this prevents the columns to be made when you set a datasource and bind it. You have to define the columns yourself now, and the easiest way is doing it in Visual Studio.

dataGridView1.Columns["myCol"].Width = 100;

things like that

Visual Studio can't evaluate this, can you?

public object moo<br />
        {<br />
__get { return moo; }<br />
__set { moo = value; }<br />
}

I'm using .NET 1.1, and System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid does not contain an AutoGenerateColumns or Columns property.

darn, I hoped you were using DataGridView, now I don't think I can help you any further.

After setting the DataSource, try setting the header yourself.

I have a Dataset with two table. The first table has 5 columns. The second Table 3 columns.
Now i need to show only the columns 2 and 4 from the first table and 2 from the second table.
And these columns should be shown in the same Datagrid.
Is there any easy way to do this?
I tried to make a new Table.
DataTable dtab = new DataTable("coded");
foreach(DataColumn dc in firsttable.Columns)
{
dtab.Columns.Add(dc);
}

but when i tried that i get an error message that the column is already in another table.

it might be easier to answer this question if you explained what kind of data is in the two tables and how you want it presented. Give some examples.

 kuku obj=new kuku();<br />
 obj.test=10;<br />
 XmlSerializer ser=new XmlSerializer(typeof(kuku));<br />
 StringWriter writer = new StringWriter(new StringBuilder());<br />
 ser.Serialize(writer,obj);<br />
 string s=writer.ToString(); <br />
  .....<br />
}<br />
<br />
and the s will contain <br />
<br />
   <kuku> <br />
     <test>10</test><br />

You will see test=10 and problem=0

class Program
{
  static void Main(string[] args)
  {
    kuku k = new kuku();
    k.test = 10;
    XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(kuku));
    FileStream fileStream = new FileStream("test.xml", FileMode.Create);
    xmlSerializer.Serialize(fileStream, k);
    fileStream.Close();
  }
}

public class kuku
{
  public int test;
  public int problem;
}

What happens, if you explicitely set problem to its default value (0)?

I used the same code and it didn't generate any problems. I had to make the variables public though. Maybe you should try to fiddle around with their modifiers.

Visual Studio can't evaluate this, can you?

public object moo<br />
        {<br />

Hi!
I am using C# 2005 for my project, i am facing problem with refreshing contents of form. here is the scenario:

i have a DateTimePicker control on form, i want to use it like clock,
i.e. i created a thread which runs a timer, after 1 second im assignning the current time to the DateTimePicker.

Now the control should show the new value but it does'nt refresh.

i tried refresh(), validate() functions but no result...i even called the form_Load function but stil it displays old contents.

I am facing similar problems in some other forms too...

Please tell me wat im missing, do help me in ths regard. Thanks,

Regards,
Affan Toor

you don't need any special function.
I tried this, and it works:

private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    dateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime.Now;
}

Make sure you set the timer interval to anything smaller than 1000 and that it is enabled (standard it is disabled)

public object moo<br />
        {<br />
__get { return moo; }<br />
__set { moo = value; }<br />
}
