Hi,
I have tried the way you have said but it is not giving that effect which I want. I want to show my second form in such a way as if it looks that the second form is emerging from 1st form. Some graphics Transition like look.

I just tried this in the Paint event of the form:
if (this.Height < 300)
this.Height++;
if (this.Width< 300)
this.Width++;
If you need that form should grow in all the directions, you will need to position it as well every time you change the height and width.

Hi,
Thanx for ur help.
This is still working but I am not getting the smooth effect (graphics like effect)of the form emerging. MOreover the controls placed in the form are giving a jerking effect.

Try setting double buffered to true.

My question was
1) How can I get a large data set from a stored procedure through ADO .NET using a DataAdapter instead of a DataReader?
After several syntactical errors, I found that the I needed to add the parameters to a command, create an adapter from the command, and then a dataset from the adapter.

Recordsets have become DATAREADERS - google for them

Is there a way to do this without using a DataReader? I need to store a large dataset and do not think the DataReader let's you know the # of Rows returned beforehand. There would be a performance hit for frequent memory allocations to add new rows. Moreover, I may need to copy the data to a new structure to ensure appropriate locality.
My primary concern is performance and reusing data when I have large datasets that I need to access and my database might be far away. At a later step, I hope to write dll's that can operate on the data on the server. I also might use LINQ if I wanted to query a subset of the data.
I was worried that the data reader would return records piecemeal from the server instead of all at once.

You can return either a DATAREADER which gives you one record at a time and remains connected to the database until closed, or a DATASET which is effectively a disconnected copy of the data, which you can cache etc. I misunderstood your OP, I thought you were looking to read the data a record at a time.

Thanks I finally figured out the syntax. I didn't realize that I could pass a command to an adapter's constructor.

I am looking for a coding buddy who is at a amateurish (ie college) level at any C#, Visual Basic.Net or Visual C++.Net.
This will help improve me and the coding buddies skills and hopefully learn form each other.
Having an instant messaging program such as Windows Live is a bonus!
I am just a college student who wants to learn so if you would like to be a coding buddy let me know

Hi,
I have a requirement where in we are required to implement an “spell check” for the text we have entered for all Free Form and Text boxes within our ASP.Net application.
User should also get a way to "ignore" when spelling is correct similar to how Microsoft Word functions.
Please let me know if there is any component is available in .Net framework 3.5 or else pointer to the third party tool also be very much helpful.
Regards,
Palak Shah

Google for HunSpell or NetSpell if you want something for free, or AspNetSpell or PolarSpellChecker if you want to buy one
They differ not only in features, but also in (the amount of translated-) dictionaries.

I was doing some performance testing to compare times for string == string and string.Compare() when I came up with some odd results. What I found was that after 10,000,000 iterations,
string.Compare("aBcDeFgHiJkLmNoPqRsTuVwXyZ", "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", true) == 0;
is almost 17 times faster than
string.Compare("aBcDeFgHiJkLmNoPqRsTuVwXyZ", "aBcDeFgHiJkLmNoPqRsTuVwXyZ", true) == 0;
Wha? I'm ignoring case! How can it take longer to compare identical string values versus ones that differ only in case? I checked out string.Compare() using Reflector though it makes a call out to unmanaged code.

The common way to do case insensitive compares is to convert both strings to all one case first. As in your first example, one string is already entirely lower case, nothing needs to be done to it. This will probably result in less work.
[Disclaimer: Pretty much just a guess]
[Edit: I repeated your experiment.
I found that method 1 took around 1.7 seconds and method 2 around 1.4 seconds for 10,000,000 iterations. This makes method 2 just 20% (1.2 times) faster. (No where near 17 times).
If you are finding a 17 fold increase (1700%!) I suspect you have some other problem causing an erroneous result. Also, remember that string literals can be handled very differently by the JIT compiler compared to string variables. If you really want to test the methods you should probably be using a list of randomly generated strings to prevent things like literal optimisation or caching effecting your results.
This was my code:
class Program
{
private static int iterations = 10000000;
private static int repeats = 10;
static void Main(string[] args)
{
long method1Total = 0;
long method2Total = 0;
for (int experiementCounter = 0; experiementCounter < repeats; experiementCounter++)
{
Stopwatch s1 = new Stopwatch();
s1.Start();
for (int iterationCounter = 0; iterationCounter < iterations; iterationCounter++)
{
bool result1 = string.Compare("aBcDeFgHiJkLmNoPqRsTuVwXyZ", "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", true) == 0;
}
s1.Stop();
Stopwatch s2 = new Stopwatch();
s2.Start();
for (int iterationCounter = 0; iterationCounter < iterations; iterationCounter++)
{
bool result2 = string.Compare("aBcDeFgHiJkLmNoPqRsTuVwXyZ", "aBcDeFgHiJkLmNoPqRsTuVwXyZ", true) == 0;
}
s2.Stop();
method1Total += s1.ElapsedMilliseconds;
method2Total += s2.ElapsedMilliseconds;
Console.WriteLine("Experiment {0} Method 1: {1} Method 2: {2}", experiementCounter+1, s1.ElapsedMilliseconds,s2.ElapsedMilliseconds);
}
Console.WriteLine();
Console.WriteLine("Averages: Method 1: {0} Method 2: {1}", method1Total / repeats, method2Total / repeats);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}

He must have meant 17%
((1.7-1.4)*100)/1.7 = 17.64 %

I wrote a lengthy post and decided to go over my code once more before hitting Post when I found a major flaw in my test. I accidently used Milliseconds off of the TimeSpan for each loop instead of TotalMilliseconds . The results were more as I had originally expected with the same case being faster.
As for using ToUpper() or ToLower(), though used more often, the execution is faster using string.Compare().
Thanks for the response!

string literals get interned, i.e. two identical string literals share the same memory and reference. string.Compare could easily contain a reference compare as a shortcut exit.
For all practical purposes, you should perform timing tests with variables, not literals.

Hi,
Very sorry to bother you with a basic question.
I don’t have the knowledge on .NET Design Patterns. Now I would like to go through them, understand and practice them.
Would you please let me know if there is any good book (using C#.NET as the language) which can be easily understandable on this .NET Design Patterns?
Many thanks.
Regards,
Reshma.

Try here
C# Design Patterns[^]
There is a commercial electronic book to go with this (I've not got it) but there are also free code snippets on this page.
A good more general book is Design Patterns Explained[^].
Code fragments are in Java, but it's very simple Java, and it does a very good job of explaining the concepts.
