The error message clearly says that the filepath you have given can not be found. so maybe you should check the file is there. try putting the filepath in the error message into windows explorer.

You can use server side validation if you don't
want to use client validation using javascript

You can also do it by asp validation control
If you know how to use asp validation control

Font Disposal

I have the following class structure - as you can see the nested class has an additional Font that needs disposing.

I'm not too hot on Disposal techniques (the laziness of the managed world!), is the method I've used sufficient and 'safe'?

public class MyClass : IDisposable
{
    private MyNestedForm myNestedForm;

    public MyClass()
    {
        myNestedForm = new MyNestedForm();
    }

    public Font XYZFont
    {
        set { myNestedForm.XYZFont = value; }
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        myNestedForm.Dispose();
    }

    internal class MyNestedForm : Form
    {
        private Font xyzFont;

        public Font XYZFont
        {
            get
            {
                if(xyzFont==null)
                    return Control.DefaultFont;
                else
                    return xyzFont;
            }
            set { xyzFont = value; }
        }

        protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
        {
            if (xyzFont != null)
                xyzFont.Dispose();
            base.Dispose(disposing);
        }
    }
}

Looks OK to me. BTW, why are you exposing the nested class to outside of MyClass?

I haven't totally decided whether to keep the class nested or not. If I keep it nested I'll change it to private, but if I move it back outside (where it was originally) then it will need to stay internal.

Usually, when you override the Dispose(bool disposing) method, you do it like the following:

protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
    if (disposing)
    {
       // Dispose managed resources  
       if (xyzFont != null)
           xyzFont.Dispose();
    }

    // Dispose unmanaged resources

    // Call base class' method
    base.Dispose(disposing);
}

A better explanation here[^].

Don't do that, this is bad programming. In fact, I am tired to fix the code written by lazy programmers. If you are holding expensive resources, you give your clients a change to do cleanup when appropriate by calling your Dispose() method.

I know, that's why I was wanting to check before getting in to this too deep.

"disposing: true to release both managed and unmanaged resources; false to release only unmanaged resources."

I should have noticed that and put the managed stuff inside a disposing check - thanks for pointing it out.

Returning Random Unicode Characters

I'm having a bit of a problem getting the Unicode version of this:

((char)((int)'a' + new Random().Next(26))).ToString();

The above snippet returns a random lowercase character. I'm trying to do the same thing for Unicode Characters in the range of 0621 - 064A

Suggestions?

Same problem. The problem being char apparently doesn't cover the letters I want to it simply returns a "?"

A wild guess: Maybe the Unicode char is in a font you don't have installed.

Nope, Arabic would be a staple of my system being as about 80% of my work is in Arabic (front end) Smile | :)

The problem is that whenever I try to cast the numeric unicode value of the char seems to "truncate" it which is very strange considering char is a unicode character.

Maybe changing the encoding might give a different result. UTF-8 uses one byte for the range 0-127, but more bytes for other character sets. UTF-16 uses two bytes for all characters, but is limited to the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP). The BMP covers most modern languages, including Arabic I'm sure.

I'm not sure if this will help with your problem, but here's a link to examples that uses encodings with conversions: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.encoding.convert(VS.71).aspx[^]

The Encoding class supports multiple Unicode encodings, and I was hypothesizing that the wrong one could have given the symptoms you're seeing.

To Create or to Clear

musefan31-Mar-09 0:37

Hi All,

Image I have a collection of items that is populated when a load function is called. This load function can be called multiple times based on user interaction.

My questions are...

Should I clear the current instance of the collection at the start of each load or should I simply create a new instance each time?

Are there any benifits or disadvantages to using one method over the other?

I cant image its going to make much difference either way... but you never know what you dont know

AFAIK using the same collection instance each time is a better way. While creating a new instance will force to use new heap space, clearing the existing instance will avoid this. I read about this topic when a new object was created in a for-each-loop, just to do a calculation. The author of the article mentioned to use the same instance but call a reset()-method within the loop.
