either do what Leppie suggests above or just use one Random and call rnd.Next(50) in place of rnd2.Next(50) so you only need the one seed.

you can change the seeds
just use the overloaded random construction function
like this :
Random rand1 = new Random(1);
Random rand2 = new Random(2);
Console.WriteLine(rand1.Next(50));
Console.WriteLine(rand2.Next(50));
output is :
12
38
sometimes 0 can be 1

I think you need to adjust your attitude towards how forums are used. No forum is a "I'm too lazy, you should give me the answer" area. If you can't find something through searching and doing the hardwork for yourself, then you can come to a forum and ask others for their help. If you are using the Random function, the assumption is that you at least read how to use it in the first place instead of copying the functionality from another source. If you're given a clue as to what to look for, you should go and look that up and read up on it.

Thanx hammer, that sounds reasonable. I will do that next time.

You need to give the random number generator a different seed value each time you run the code.

I don't think you gain anything by having two separate random number generators. Your .add() call should probably read:
myEmployeeCollection.Add(new Employee(100 + i,rnd.Next(50),("name"+ rnd.Next(50))));
... using only one instance of the Random() class.
Random number generators use some formula to generate a sequence numbers that provide the appearance of randomness with a good distribution (i.e. pseudorandom). As you found out, a random number generator starting with the same seed will always produce the same sequence of numbers.
Even with different seeds, there is a maximum length before the sequence begins to repeat (yes, it is a very long time but...). If you run two instances of the same formula with different entry points (seeds) in parallel, there is always a possibility that they are running sufficiently close in the sequence that the distribution between the two sets of numbers is no longer sufficiently random.
Why mess with it? Just use one random number generator.

Thanx Robert it was good information. And you r right I didn't gain anything out of the two Random no generators.

please can someboby solve this problem for ever?! this is making me crazy. i googled but nothing was found.
there is a "for loop" in my program and i want to break the loop on KeyDown event.
my code is like this :
private bool EXIT;
private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Escape)
{
EXIT = true;
}
}
private void Function()
{
for (int x = 0; x < Max; x++)
{
if(EXIT)
{
break;
}
OnPaintBackground(new PaintEventArgs(this.CreateGraphics(),new Rectangle(0,0,Width,eight)));
}
}
protected override void OnPaintBackground(PaintEventArgs e)
{
e.Graphics.DrawImage( image, 0, 0, Width, Height);
}
when the Esc key is pressed nothing happens.
what i have to do?
sometimes 0 can be 1
|
|
|
|
|
i dont see anything wrong there...
but thinking about it a little more, the for loop MIGHT be holding up the UI thread, which MIGHT mean that the Form1_KeyDown handler only gets called after the for loop is finished executing.

FWIW, when I feel the need to capture command keys in a program, I like to do so via the ProcessCmdKey override because I've had issues with those captures in other available handlers. So, you might want to take a look at ProcessCmdKey and see if that will help.

What excactly are you trying to achieve? Is it that once the user has pressed the escape key, you want the application to terminate as soon as possible? Or do you have a longish OnPaint method which you want interrupted when the escape key is pressed?
The first would be much easier. The second I think cannot work without polling for the EXIT variable within the OnPaint procedure everywhere it could be interrupted, and even then I'm not sure it could work. A call to Application.DoEvents won't help cause in OnPaint you're right within handling the windows message queue and have to finish the loop anyway. The keyboard action only puts a message to the end of your form's message queue, which will not be processed before you leave the OnPaint method. Either you do some crazy unmanaged subclassing, or you split your painting logic into "atomic" operations which you instigate (via this.BeginInvoke) from a different thread. In this thread you can capture the EXIT flag set by the main thread via the escape key and if it's true stop pouring BeginInvoke(PaintNextPart) delegates to the main thread.
You need a little more then, of course, and a firm grip of threading and locking mechanisms, or you'll freeze your form.

Hi Guys,
Once again I humbly beg u to aid my rescue. Is it possible for me to alter the items in a datagrid based on input in a texbox?
onLoad of the form i fill the datagrid with all names from the DB. But, how do i remove items from the list based on the input of the datagrid?
He who goes for revenge must first dig two graves.

This sounds like you load the grid with names from the DB, but do not actually bind it to a DB datasource. If that is true, you might want to consider making this a data bound grid, bind it to a dataview, and then use the RowFilter property of the dataview to manipulate what is shown in the grid.
|
|
|
|
|
it's databound, but how do i implement the rowfilter as text is being inputed in the textbox?

If it was me, I would probably refresh the grid after the text box entry is validated (e.g., on the Validated event of the text box). If you have a need to refresh the grid as each character is entered in the text box, then you can do it on the TextChanged event of the text box. That seems like a bit much to me, but I don't entirely know what you are trying to accomplish.
In either case, your code might look something like the following where oDataView is your DataView, LookupField is the data bound field you are searching on, textBox is your text box and DataGrid1 is your grid...
oDataView.RowFilter = "LookupField = '" + textBox.Text + "'";
DataGrid1.DataSource = oDataView;

This is kinda weird. When I run this:
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo psi = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
psi.FileName = "explorer.exe";
psi.Arguments = @"C:\Data\Workshop";
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(psi);
I get an error saying the path does not exist or is not a directory. However, if I just run:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"C:\Data\Workshop");
it runs fine. Why is that?

Either way works fine for me.

It could be that your not passing in the correct arguments for Explorer.

I haven't tried this out in C#, but I ran it from the command line with:
explorer /root,c:\
and it displayed correctly.

That would be why  Knew it had to be something stupid. Thanks mate.

Huy everybody.
I have a little problem. I need to change a decimal symbol in Regional Settings programmatically on C#. Please help who know how to do this.
Thanks.

To change it for your app define a culture.
To change it for the system, I think you have to use SetLocaleInfo in kernel32.dll.

Hello
I am working in C# and developing a desktop application. The main tasks of my application are Live Video Capturing, recording, transmission over LAN and motion detection. All are doing fine. But sometimes while grabbing a frame; it throws memory exception i-e
"Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt"
at line
b.Save("C:\\abc.jpg", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);// b is a bitmap object
///// other code
b.dispose();
and after that it throws exception i-e "A generic error occurred in GDI+". As I m continuously grabbing frames in a loop. So once it throws an exception, it stops working. I m searching over it but still didn't get any solution.
plz help me out
thx
Shanzay
