I tried with decimal too.
Did not help much..
This is what I tried.
<br />
private void Roundupto2Decimals(ref float fVal)<br />
{<br />
decimal decVal = Math.Round((decimal)fVal, 2);<br />
fVal = (float)decVal;<br />
double dVal = (double)fVal;<br />
}<br />
Any other idea?

You are still using float, aren't you ? 
what about this:
double dVal = Math.Round((double)fVal, 2);
if you need that value exactly, just use decimal in any calculation you are planing. If you want to display exactly 10.11, use decimal. If you're just wondering why is it different, we explained you why and don't worry about it anymore

The problem is that the third party dll uses float value in its class.
So I really cant get rid of the float and I still need to use this dll.
As a work around I am using Math.Abs() method to find out tolerable difference between the two float values instead of checking exact difference using "==" with floats.

Thanks you Led.
The link is quite useful.

hello, math.round donot support float, its argument must be Double.
for example :
Double dblValue = 123.126789;
dblValue = Math.Round(dblValue, 2);
MessageBox.Show(dblValue.ToString());// Displays 123.13
I think u can continue your work.
Best of Luck.

Sorry, you're mistaken. Your example happens to produce the result you want, but it is
not correct. Here is the background:
The way floats/doubles are stored in binary makes it impossible to exactly represent
most values, especially the ones that seem like round numbers to humans thinking
using base ten.
So 4, 2, 1, 0.5, 3.5, 3.75 and many others are representable exactly (basically since
they all equal an integer divided by some power of 2); but 3.6 and 3.8 and an infinite
number of other values are not.
Now whatever float/double function you call, if it returns a float/double will suffer
from the same phenomenon. So the only way to really get "3.6" or "3.8" is by using a
function that not only rounds but returns a string. I trust there are some formatting
methods that do just that in every programming language; In .NET languages
ToString() should be one of them, given an appropriate format specifier.
If you want to know much more about this topic, here it is:
http://docs.sun.com/source/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html
BTW: to circumvent the floating-point rounding problem, especially for monetary
numbers, they introduced the "decimal" data type (which basically stores decimal
digits).

hi
I started to work with the VS2008 & FrameWork 3.5
if i want that my programs will run on any computer i need the FrameWork 3.5
is it weight so match? 200MB ???
there is version that weight 2.5MB but the installation is from the WEB
is there any version of FrameWork 3.5 that weight less then 200MB ? and don't need installation
from the WEB ?
thank's

It doesn't "weigh" that much. Remember that it only has to be installed once regardless of how many .NET 3.5 applicaitons get installed on the PC.
E_Gold wrote: there is version that weight 2.5MB but the installation is from the WEB
No. That is a bootstrapper. The bootstrapper is 2.7Mb. The actual .NET Framework is still the same size. You just have an easier download.
E_Gold wrote: is there any version of FrameWork 3.5 that weight less then 200MB ?
Yes, the version you quote, pedantically speaking, "weighs" less than 200Mb. It is only 197Mb

Like Colin said, that is just for doing web-based install. You still have to install the rest through the setup program.

There is no error in the code(the compilation results in 0 errors), but the result is not the one I want.
It should send information with a picture, but the server don't received anything. When I send data with method
application/x-www-form-urlencoded this code sended all information without a picture. The picture should be send as multipart/form-data. When using "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" the response from server contained the ID of the record added, but the picture wasn't.

I would like to have a method that does something like the following,
public static object foo(object A, Type T) {
return (T)A;
}I don't explicitly know the type T anywhere in my code... it is found at runtime, so I CAN'T do the following (unless there is some way to send TObject.GetType() as T):
public static T foo<T>(object A) {
return (T)A;
}Oh, and object A cannot implement the IConvertable Interface (or any interface, for that matter, since I have NO control over the class), so I am unable to use the System.Convert.ChangeType method as well. I DO however know that either
1: type T defines an explicit cast operator from AType->T, OR
2: type AType defines an explicit cast operator from AType->T
but I can't figure out how to call that cast with the information I have. Does anyone know a way that I can accomplish this? Thanks,
Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mondays

Have you tried the "ChangeType" method of the "Convert" class?
It seems to be exactly your foo 
|
|
|
|
|
"Convert.ChangeType" seems to be exactly your foo
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, but to call that method the object must implement IConvertible (or at least, that's the exception I got at runtime when I tried it). The answer I used was given in the next post, but thanks for taking the time to help!

Hi
Basically an Operator is a static method, that you can call via reflection if you know the name of it.
let's say you have a class A and a class B
they look like this:
public class A
{
public static implicit operator B(A SourceObject)
{
return new B();
}
}
public class B
{
}
then the compiler compiles the operator as
public static B op_implicit(A SourceObject);
so, all you have to do, is to use reflection to find the static method that's called
op_implicit, takes an object of A as parameter and returns an object of B
hope this helps
greets

private static readonly string[] s_CastOps = new string[] { "op_Explicit", "op_Implicit" };
public static T Convert<T, U>(U other) where T : new() {
T rval = new T();
foreach (PropertyInfo tPropInfo in typeof(T).GetProperties()) {
if (tPropInfo.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(System.Xml.Serialization.XmlIgnoreAttribute), true).Length > 0)
continue;
PropertyInfo uPropInfo = typeof(U).GetProperty(tPropInfo.Name);
if (uPropInfo != null && tPropInfo.CanWrite && uPropInfo.CanRead
&& uPropInfo.GetIndexParameters().Length == 0
&& tPropInfo.GetIndexParameters().Length == 0) {
Type tPropType = tPropInfo.PropertyType;
Type uPropType = uPropInfo.PropertyType;
if (tPropType.Equals(uPropType)) {
tPropInfo.SetValue(rval, uPropInfo.GetValue(other, null), null);
continue;
}
Type[] uPropTypeArray = new Type[] { uPropType };
object[] uValue = new object[] { uPropInfo.GetValue(other, null) };
ConstructorInfo tConstruct = tPropType.GetConstructor(uPropTypeArray);
if (tConstruct != null) {
tPropInfo.SetValue(rval, tConstruct.Invoke(uValue), null);
continue;
}
foreach (Type propType in new Type[] { tPropType, uPropType }) {
foreach (string castOp in s_CastOps) {
MethodInfo ConvertUtoT = propType.GetMethod(castOp, uPropTypeArray);
if (ConvertUtoT != null && tPropType.Equals(ConvertUtoT.ReturnType)) {
tPropInfo.SetValue(rval, ConvertUtoT.Invoke(null, uValue), null);
goto _endConvert;
}
}
}
_endConvert:
continue;
}
}
return rval;
}Basically, I go through the list of properties on both types. If both have a property with the same name, I try to copy the value from one to the other. If they are the same type, I simply set one to the other. Otherwise, I check if the result type has a constructor that takes the source type as a parameter. If so, I call the constructor. If not, then I look for a typecast definition between the two types (either explicit or implicit). If found, I cast the value of the source property to the type of the target property. This works great to copy objects with the same (or similar) properties into different types. Thanks for the help!

Hi,
I need to determine user role, especially if user is administrator. I know one way, but that way doesn't provide the information I need:
WindowsPrincipal principal = new WindowsPrincipal(WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent());
principal.IsInRole(WindowsBuiltInRole.Administrator);
the problem is that even if user is an administrator (on Vista) and the UAC is on , user still behaves like non-administrator user. Difference is when a UAC form is displayed. When an administrator is required to elevale a process to admin rights, he doesn't need to type in his (administrator) credentials. However a regular user does have to type in these credentianls (of course). So if an application is run under administrator but not elevated to administrator rights, the principal says that the Current User is not an administrator. I need to know if that user is an administrator not depending on current Thread/Appication granted rights.
thanx in advance...

Hi everybody,
how can i use TAPI 2 into C#?
I made my project with TAPI 3, but the 3rd Version is buggy, the DISCONNECTED Event doesn't fire

Hi
i have the following code which insetrs a value into the database, however it says the value is not in the correct format.
any help?
thanks
Session["Qty_New"] = tb_Qty_New.Text.;
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@qty_new", SqlDbType.Int));
cmd.Parameters["@qty_new"].Value = Convert.ToInt32(Session["Qty_New"]);

Jamie1985 wrote: wever it says the value is not in the correct format.

Yes, obviously ensure Session["Qty_New"] has data, and that that data can be converted to an int before converting it.
Check out int.TryParse rather than Convert.ToInt32
|
|
|
|
|
Two things - you don't actually need to convert the session to an int to assign it to the parameter. Also, you should check to see if Session["Qty_New"] is null or an empty string before using it.
