Re: Message formatting question (expires on sunday)

Hi,

This is related to the formatting, not the topic, of your message.

I am preparing an article on copying code snippets from a CodeProject message board to
Visual Studio; seems there are no problems when the browser used is FireFox, Safari, ...
but often problems arise when using Internet Explorer.

One of the factors is the tags that are present inside the < PRE> </PRE> block.
In your message the lines are separated by <br> tags; most other messages have
just regular newlines.

Could you please tell me how you get that, i.e. what tools you use, and how you go
about it. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I don't do anything different, and I don't see a difference from other post. Can you explain further?

It is about copying code snippets FROM CodeProject messages TO Visual Studio.

Seems like most browsers have no trouble, Internet Explorer does.
So if you are not using IE6/IE7 you would not be aware of this.

IE6/IE7 often looses formatting, that is when copied the data on the clipboard, it
does not always represent line breaks and indentation well, pasting it in a
Visual Studio source window drops the newlines, and/or the indentation (space/tabs),
resulting in a complete mess.

It depends on exactly how the HTML code was built in the first place, hence
on the browser the poster is using and the tags he is adding.

Hence my questions: what tools do you use, and how do you go about it
(e.g. which tags do you use normally).

TIA

Personally, I just type of paste code into a <pre /> tag. I assume code project automatically converts all line breaks into <br> tags.

How to iterate along each and every item of a List<t>?

----
List<int> intList = new List<int>();
//fill the list
//...

foreach(int myInt in intList){
Console.WriteLine(myInt);
}
----
This enumerates over all integers in intList, storing them in the variable myInt inside the loop so that you can access it.

Note that you can't edit the list itself during this loop, so if you are trying to remove an element from the list you will get an exception thrown. The way around this is to make a separate list to store the elements that you want removed, then loop through those later and remove them from your original list OR, see below (looping backwards and removing elements)

----
//loops through intList and removes every 0 from the list
cont int BADVAL = 0;
for(int i = intList.Count - 1; i >= 0; --i){
if(intList[i] == BADVAL){
intList.RemoveAt(i); //removes the current index from the list
}
}

Hi PhilDanger,

Thanks for reply...

I have a specific problem.... I hope u will help me out

SeatEntity is a class having fields seat_id and row_id and properties SeatId and RowId. I stored the SeatId and RowId in a List<seatentity> now while iterating each and every cell of a dataGridView Control I want to iterate through each item in List<eeatentity> and comapre its values with the cells RowIndex and ColumnIndex....
Ur help will be much aapreciated

In your loop that iterates through the DataGridView, assume that you have two values RowIndex and ColumnIndex that point to the appropriate cell.

//this is inside the loop of the datagrid view...
SeatEntity gridSeat = (SeatEntity)gridView[ColumnIndex, RowIndex].Value;
//We did a few things here, we indexed into the gridView using the column and the row, this returns a DataGridViewCell.
//We then used the .Value property to get what is stored inside.  Since this returns an object, we cast it to the type that we stored in the grid (I'm assuming you're storing SeatEntitys).

//now we can loop through the list and compare the values
foreach(SeatEntity seat in seatList){
    if(seat.SeatId == gridSeat.SeatId){
         //do something
    }
}

c.HeaderText = i.ToString();
i++;
}

foreach (DataGridViewRow r in dataGridView1.Rows)

SeatEntitiy seobj= new SeatEntitiy();
foreach (DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView1.Rows)

foreach (DataGridViewCell cell in row.Cells)
{
foreach (SeatEntitiy se in seat)
{

Generating Unique Numbers

Jalpesh B. Patel25-Jul-07 2:55

Hi,

I would like to make an application that generates unique numbers (numerics only) in sequential order (better if this way but not compulsory).

It should be able to recover in case of a crash. i.e. if the generation crashes or system crashes, then the next time its up, it should give unique numbers only, and not repeat any number previously given. This is of utmost importance.

And if crash recovery feature doesn't involve I/O, it would be better. (e.g saving numbers to disk and stuff).

Note: Random is not mandatory, unique is.

If you have a solution to this, please help.

Thank you.

Use GUIDs and convert them to numeric - it is a sequence of HEX anyway so it can be converted quite easily.

Hi Colin,

this is puzzling me: I expect GUID are unique all over the universe.
They also need many bits; how can it be if a take 1 million GUIDs and convert each of them
to int, that all ints will also be unique (inside my confined process that is),
so which transformation preserves uniqueness while compressing from many to 32 bits ??

A simple hash code wont be sufficient, its only function as I understand is putting objects
into 2^32 buckets with a "good distribution".

Can you enlighten me on this ? Thanks.

Guids are 128 bits. No one said anything about being constrained to 32 bits.

Luc Pattyn25-Jul-07 4:11

25-Jul-07 4:11

Thanks Colin

I confused with the GUID strings, the ones used for registering a class (and filling the
registry).

Now 128-bit isnt very much, and MSDN on Guid.NewGuid says "There is a very low probability that the value of the new Guid is all zeroes or equal to any other Guid." which may not be good
enough for the OP, he really insisted on uniqueness...

Oh, the OP don't have to worry about it...
However, using GUIDs is not practical due to timing requiremts and 128-bit integers handling: he don't need such complexity.

Your solution is simply not practical.
See Luc Pattyn one [^] for a better approach (at least IMHO).

BTW you don't need to convert hexadecimal chars to obtain integers from GUIDs.

Converting GUID into numbers does not guarantee uniqueness... I've checked that already.

Yes, it does. You have to translate it in to a 128bit number. You never specified you were constrained by a specific size of number. If that is the case you might want to be a bit more specific about your requirements in the future.
