hi,
i want to host a control like numeric up-down control in datagrid cell..hw can i do that?

When drawing an item and setting its bounds, is there a way to use fractions? For instance if I want to start at X=1.4 and Y=2.5 and have Width = 10.5 Height = 11.5.

You;re looking for RectangleF , then you can use floats eg.
X = 1.4f

Hi there,
I've googled and searched the discussion groups to try to get a listing of companies that sell user security applications that I can bolt onto an existing application that I have built and I can't seem to find anything. Don't know if I'm searhing for the wrong terms or no one has built anything for this purpose.
Anyone know of products that allow you to bolt on things like a login, form/ field/table level security for a C# windows application?
Thanks

Aladdin[^] springs to mind, but there are more solutions. I'm curious about what gets recommended by others

Hi there, thanks for the reply except that alladin is for SaaS applications and not windows (winforms) applications. I want to be able to give the user the application and one of the forms is a user maintenance form that will add and remove users to the application I have built. In the backend it is either creating a windows authenticated user or a SQL authenticated user with an encypted password. Then you tell the security application what forms the user can access and it's very easy to make security application access calls to see what forms the users should be able to open.
I'm talking more about once the software is licensed on the users system how to control access to the application with users and groups.
Thanks

Hi all,
Is there a straight forward way to remove leading zeros from a negative string:
ex. -00002 -> -2
Thanks.

Depends on what you're trying to do, but you can always use Integer.Parse or Integer.TryParse to convert it to an int, then just format it however you want with .ToString.
|
|

|
|
That worked great. Is there an easy way that I can see how much processing time the parsing is adding to the loop?
|
|
|
|
|
Do the processing without the parsing a bunch of times, take the average time. Compare that to the average time of doing the processing with the parsing.
|
|
|

sounds like you want a regex, replacing a minus and zero or more zeroes, by a minus sign.
|
|
|
|
|
Or repeatedly replace "-0" with "-" until there are none.
Or make substrings of the first character and all the rest, left trim the zeroes from the second part, and concatenate.
|

Have you tried
Convert.ToInt32(-00002);
This might get you rid of everything, even though the input is a negative number.

<rant>DON'T USE THE CONVERT CLASS!!!</rant>
Pretty much all it does is call the appropriate xxx.Parse method anyway, so if you know what class it is, just call its Parse method, Int32.Parse , as was already mentioned.
The only reasonable member of Convert is ChangeType .

Only when it's available.
Or, if you want the Exception to be thrown. Why avoid the Exception if you're just going to throw your own anyway?

Now why would you even consider raising/throwing an exception, thats just bad pratice. never use exception for you code-flow.
An exception should only be thrown, when it truly is an exception, like if your transfer data over the net and the cord gets unplugged, thats an exception.
Parsing data that is not correct, is not an exception.
Lets say in this case, you want to parse -002 to -2, and the value begin parsed, turns out to be "-002$" then its not an exception, then the value ("you should know"), you want to parse is incorrect, handle it. thats to correct way, I believe.
Furthermore, I believe the code engine will spin down for every exception it has to handle.
Just a short comparison:
for 1000 parsings
Parse: 4078 milliseconds
Try Parse: 0 milliseconds
I used this code to test:
Stopwatch sw = new Stopwatch();
sw.Start();
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
{
try { int demo = int.Parse("x"); }
catch (Exception) {}
}
sw.Stop();
Debug.WriteLine("Parse: " + sw.ElapsedMilliseconds);
sw.Reset();
sw.Start();
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
{
int demo;
int.TryParse("x", out demo);
}
sw.Stop();
Debug.WriteLine("Try Parse: " + sw.ElapsedMilliseconds);
With great code, comes great complexity, so keep it simple stupid...

Also on framework level, Microsoft contradicts its self sometimes in the framework, but hey I dont always follow my own guidelines either.
- If you know the Error, of why the code fails, handle it.
- Only handle exceptions you can recover from.
- If you dont know why the exception was thrown, its better to let the framework kill your app. According to microsoft.
But then again others think you should clean up what you can, and then exiting the orderly fashion.
