I was just wondering if there is a way to do a control array for ease of setting up some controls. Basically I am trying to do this (syntax is more psuedo code):
<br />
controlA_View1.Top = controlA_View2.Top;<br />
controlA_View1.Left = controlA_View2.Left;<br />
controlA_View1.Visible = false;<br />
<br />
controlB_View1.Top = controlB_View2.Top;<br />
controlB_View1.Left = controlB_View2.Left;<br />
controlB_View1.Visible = false;<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
controlN_View1.Top = controlN_View2.Top;<br />
controlN_View1.Left = controlN_View2.Left;<br />
controlN_View1.Visible = false;<br />
<br />
I was wondering if I could do this:
<br />
Array arrView1;<br />
arrView1.Add(controlA_View1);<br />
arrView1.Add(controlB_View1);<br />
...<br />
arrView1.Add(controlN_View1);<br />
<br />
Array arrView2;<br />
arrView2.Add(controlA_View2);<br />
arrView2.Add(controlB_View2);<br />
...<br />
arrView2.Add(controlN_View2);<br />
<br />
for(int i = 0; i < arrView1.Count() && i < arrView2.Count(); i ++)<br />
{<br />
arrView1[i].Top = arrView2[i].Top;<br />
arrView1[i].Left = arrView2[i].Left;<br />
arrView2[i].Visible = false;<br />
}<br />
I am adding the controls via the form desinger because it is obviously easier to lay them out. I am using my current home project to explore deeper in to C# however I know I could do something like this with pointers or maybe with unsafe code. I remember the ref keyword can cause a reference to be passed to a function but can a ref be passed to an array?
Thanks for any help...

You don't actually declare the variable as Array, but as Control[], which inherits from Array implicitly:
Control[] controls = new Control[]
{
myControl1,
myControl2,
};
for (int i=0; i<controls.Length; i++)
{
Control c = controls[i];
if (i == 0) c.Location = new Point(8, 8);
else c.Location = new Point(8, 8 + controls[i - 1].Location.Y;
}You could also use a collection or list, but then you either have to cast or use a typed collection or list like Control.ControlCollection.
Also, since you need to add your controls to their container's Controls collection property anyway, you can always enumerate them all after adding them and initialize their properties.

I use a openfiledialog but i want it to return the filename with the extension and nothing more (eg: filename.doc). if i do it like this it returns the complete path:
openFileDialog1.ShowDialog();<br />
txtRunprogram.Text = openFileDialog1.FileName.ToString();
thx in advance

Try doing this:
string filename = String.Substring(openFileDialog1.FileName.ToString().LastIndexOf("\\"));
That should strip it out for you.
|
|
|
|
|
Or just Path.GetFileName(openFileDialog1.FileName), which takes platform-dependent directory separators into account making your code more portable.
ToString is also completely unnecessary since FileName already returns a String.

First of all, you do not need to call ToString on a string! It's already a string.
Second, use Path.GetFileName instead of the previous recommendation. Path.GetFileName takes platform-dependent directory separators into account. If you want to use String.LastIndexOf, then at least use the Path.PathSeparator field to get the platform-dependent directory separator.

dear all,
i am using crystal reports for vs.net 2002, infact i want to set my report datasource as dataset. i am using AddCommand to reterive required fields. problem is that when i set report data source as dataset it shows all those reocrds on report that are retrived by AddCommand not by my
here is my code
private DataSet myDs()
{
SqlConnection nwindConn = new SqlConnection("DataSource=localhost;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=testDB");
SqlCommand selectCMD = new SqlCommand("testPorcedure",nwindConn);
selectCMD.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
selectCMD.CommandTimeout = 30;
SqlDataAdapter custDA = new SqlDataAdapter();
custDA.SelectCommand = selectCMD;
nwindConn.Open();
custDA.Fill(custDS);
nwindConn.Close();
return custDS;
}
override protected void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
InitializeComponent();
base.OnInit(e);
this.ConnectionString();
CrystalReport1 oReport = new CrystalReport1();
oReport.SetDataSource(this.myDs());//dataset that is filled by my sp
crTableLogonInfos = new TableLogOnInfos();
crTableLogonInfo = new TableLogOnInfo();
crConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
crConnectionInfo.ServerName = server;
crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = database;
crConnectionInfo.UserID = user_id;
crConnectionInfo.Password = password;
crTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo;
crTableLogonInfo.TableName = "Command";
crTableLogonInfos.Add(crTableLogonInfo);
CrystalReportViewer1.LogOnInfo = crTableLogonInfos;
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = oReport;
CrystalReportViewer1.DataBind();
}
any body kindly help me i realy stuck
thanks in advance

Why are you providing log into to another source when you're already providing the data in a DataSet? Using ADO.NET to fill a DataSet (along with a connection string stored in your .config file) is much more robust than hard-coding connection information in your report source. If you ever need to re-deploy the solution elsewhere, you have to change your source and recompile. Instead, make it as abstract as possible. Just configurable connection strings and DataSets, as you seem to do above, except you're still using connection information on the viewer, for which I really don't understand the point.

Thanks for the reply......ur point is taken.......but the problem is that even if report gets the connection info from the webconfig file..and i set the report source to the DataSet which is filled up by the SP i run....the report ignores the data source and gives the result according to the Select command i hav set in report design, which i have to do in order to tell the report which fields are required.
I need a way in which the report will display results according to the DataSet i give it.
Thanks.

When designing the report, instead of using a SQL statement use an ADO.NET DataSet, which is available in the report designer for data sources. It's been a long time since I worked with CR, but I remember that you could do this. That way, you need no connection-specific information and can instead just set your DataSet as the report data source.
The most likely reason it isn't working is because the report definition is binding against that SQL statement instead of expecting a DataSet. I don't know much about the internal workings of CR or the report definition, but it seems like a logical explanation.

is C# CF able to build an application for the pocket pc
i see the c# able to do zooming but how bout bluring ? smoothing ?
if c# able to do that using GDI+ (while C# CF cannot support GDI+)and many tutorial out there but i cannot find any image processing tutorial regarding C# in compact framework for pocket pc ... pls help me any input are welcome

Examine the articles (like Christian Graus's excellent articles here on CodeProject) and simply determine what APIs are available in the Compact Framework. Don't worry about how they're implemented (i.e., whether they use GDI+ or older GDI calls), just that they're available. The .NET Framework SDK (v1.1) will tell when something is available in the Compact Framework, either in-line with the documentation or at the bottom in the "Platforms" section.

C# doesn't do any real image processing. You need to write the code yourself. If you can't access the bits of a GDI+ bitmap ( as per my articles, or using Get/SetPixel ( slow, but if it's all you can get..... ), you simply HAVE to be able to load the functionality to create a DIBSection ( and therefore access the bits ) from GDI. Without GDI, you couldn't have a GUI on pocket PC

thx... so conlusion it's hard to code image processeing in CF .....
|

No harder than in C# generally, and certainly much easier than in C++, in terms of getting everything set up. It's just not built in.

hai there,
i heard Lisp, Prolog, C/C++,Java, Python can used for AI programming.
Because features of this language that are good for AI programming. They are garbage collection, dynamic typing, functions as data, uniform syntax, interactive environment,
and extensibility.
So which feature that our C# not satisfying ? if it satisfying all above mentioned technicics how can i start programming ? where i need to start ?
hai, feel free to contact

Judging by the languages listed, I'm guessing you read something from the anti-Microsoft community. Just about any object-oriented language is good for AI programming, though a JIT'd environment does make first responses a little slower (but Java is prone to this as well). The only thing that C# probably suffers from in relation to what you read is that's it's produced by Microsoft, who the open-source community loves to hate (even for groundless reasons just because they think everything should be free, since we don't need to eat or shelter ourselves or anything...but don't get me started in this forum).

Where to start? Make sure you understand AI fundementals. Beyond that you should pick the language binding you are most familiar and semi-importantly the ones you can get the tools for. Except for garbage collection, no computer language consider "modern" is missing any of those features (and there is nothing in AI that indicates you need garbage collection for functionality).

I suggest reading some background on AI 1st. These thing you have mentioned does make live easier and slower. Any language capable of powerful number crunching and efficient code generation should do (iow C/Fortran/Assembler). Anything you can do in most languages can be done in C with a bit of extra work, IMO saving u time when u get to optimizations. Also the aforementioned languages's code generation can be tailored where "higher" level languages you have to rely on the subsystem  .
Im not sure what Father Stewart was trying to sell you

What leppie says is true.
The best programming language to make AI is C, but you will need to invest lots of time to make a program with it. C# is a good language, but it is quite slow. Also, i would recommend you to search on the net. There is plenty example, thus it is possibel you would not even need to write a single line of code.

There is some simple implementations for different kind AI algorithms here in codeproject:
Fuzzy Logic Dot Net[^]
Neural Dot Net Pt 1 Introduction[^]
Path Finder[^]
A Simple C# Genetic Algorithm
[^]
Inference in Belief Networks
[^]
MetaAgent, a Steering Behavior Template Library[^]
Basicly AI algorithms are divided to two categories: symbolic and connectionism.
Connectionism (from Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy[^]):
Connectionism is a movement in cognitive science which hopes to explain human intellectual abilities using artificial neural networks (also known as ‘neural networks’ or ‘neural nets’). Neural networks are simplified models of the brain composed of large numbers of units (the analogs of neurons) together with weights that measure the strength of connections between the units. These weights model the effects of the synapses that link one neuron to another. Experiments on models of this kind have demonstrated an ability to learn such skills as face recognition, reading, and the detection of simple grammatical structure.
(Note: Neural networks are not only connectionism approach. Also there is very different kind neural networks.)
And symbolic (from The University of Alberta's Dictionary of Cognitive Science
[^] ):
Symbolic architecture refers to the classical view of the architecture of the mind. In this approach the mind is viewed as a process in which symbols are manipulated. Symbols are moved between memory stores such as long term and short term memory and are acted upon by an explicit set of rules in a particular sequence. The symbolic architecture is the manner in which memory stores are related and the set of rules applied to the system.
Symbolic approach have achieved huge success in very limited problem areas. It's solutions are normally very specific for one problem. And because problems are normally simplified "laboratory problems" - this approach haven't achieved great practical success.
Connectionism approaches advantage is that it's basic problem solution mechanism (neural networks and other similar networks) is applicable to wide area of different kind problems and you don't need to know much from problem (basicly it is enough to know inputs and outputs - and guess right network architecture). However it uses lot of processing power and memory (it is simple simulation from brains). You also need to find suitable presentation for inputs and outputs, train network and select suitable network architecture (how many layers, how many neurons, etc.).
When you know your problem very well: you should use symbolic approach (or better develope mathematical model). If your problem is complex, you don't know it specifics well enough or there is lot's of "noise data" - you can try connectionism approach. Lisp and Prolog are developed for symbolic AI approaches. Connectionism approach doesn't have specific language - you just need to have programming language (like C#) that is suitable for "brain simulation".
IMHO: Connectionism approach is real way to do AI. Symbolic approach seem to be suitable for only very limited problem areas.
Here is some good tutorials for neural networks: AI Depot tutorials[^]

Is it possible to use a directory picker in c#.net 2003? Or do you have to write it yourself?
