hi. this has been bothering me for quite some time and i still havent figured it out.
i want to calculate hours and minutes between two dates and two different times.
example - an employe signs in on 2.10.2008 at 11:51. he signs out the same day at 22:50.
example 2 - employe signs in on 29.1.2008 at 23:10 and signs out the other day and the other month which starts with the next day (here are two problems - time goes to a new day and a new month) at 5:40.
how can i solve this. ive tried time spant but i dont fully understand its functionality because as far as i know the timespan function returns (with compare) only which given DATE (not time) is over (1,0,-1) or something.
Any other simple ideas?
Thanks in front and sorry for my bad english

Just subtract the first from the second. The timespan object will contain the number of days, hours, etc between them.
Timespan ts = DateTime2 - DateTime1

Ok, i get the timespan... but which format do i have the DT1 and 2?
In my example the user has to set the date (selected by datetime component) by hand and also the time (time is set by two value changers... forgot how theyre called... (they have sidebars next to them to incr or decr the value).
Can u give me an example how this could work, as my user has to set his arrival time and date and also his going time and date.
Im sorry for the complications... maybe im just stupid while not understanding :S
Força Barça!

The resulting timespan structure have all the info that you need.
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
DateTime entry = new DateTime(2008, 10, 2, 11, 51, 0);
DateTime exit = new DateTime(2008, 10, 2, 22, 50, 0);
TimeSpan difference = exit - entry;
Console.WriteLine("Hours : {0} - Minutes : {1} - Seconds : {2}", difference.Hours, difference.Minutes, difference.Seconds);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
Hope this helps.

How to check, from C#, are files for complex script and rtl languages (Regional and Language settings) installed?
Thanks
|
|

I don't know if there it is built-in class (SystemInformation class might contain this information) for this but I suspect the settings are stored in system registry.

I did not find it there 
Thank you for your answer
Edit: Or is there another way of checking whether right to left text will display correctly on my form?

Hello everyone,
Suppose an exe is linked (referenced) with a couple of DLLs, and both the exe and the DLLs have their own app.config file. My question is, when we call API to load application configuration values, are there any confusion about which config to be loaded since both exe and DLL have app.config files?
thanks in advance,
George

There is only one config file associated with current AppDomain.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks Giorgi,
But from IDE, we can add one app.config for DLL and another app.config for application, suppose the application loads the DLL into one application domain, then there should be two app.config?
regards,
George

If the application loads dll in its appdomain then the dll will read from its own config file. On the other hand, if the dll is in the same domain as executable, then the dll will read applications config file.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks Giorgi,
You claimed one application domain could only have one application configuration file, do you have any related document mentions this?
regards,
George

Thanks Giorgi!
It take me time to read them all and have some try. I think the final conclusion should be DLL can not have its own config file and must use the exe's application configuration file, correct?
regards,
George

|

.DLL's don't get their own app.config. They are code extensions loaded into the process of the .EXE using them, and hence, use the .EXE's app.config.
|

|
|
|
Thanks Dave,
But from IDE, Add --> New Item --> we can add a new application configuration for a DLL... Any comments?
regards,
George

Yeah, you can also add other stuff to the project that you don't use either, like .BMP files, text files, yada, yada, yada. Just becuase you can add it, doesn't mean that it gets used.

Hi Dave,
You mean Visual Studio is designing a useless feature to allow DLL to add app.config?
regards,
George

Hi, all.
I'm working with threading and I need to now if thread can return an answer, boolean or string and, if yes, how I do that.
Thanks a lot.

Yes, it can. Search Google for "Synchronizing with main thread".
Enjoy

Hi,
I have a few forms in my project and I am opening them one after another like this:
Password Entry Form
Save File Dialog
A selection form with a few buttons on it to select output display.
-These 3 windows do not have a parent form and they are not related to each other.
-They are not displayed at the same time. As I said I open them in the given order, one after the previous form is closed.
-I open all of them using ShowDialog() method.
My problem is:
I have tried many settings but the last form keeps opening in background and does not have focus. So the user cannot see the window at top.
I have tried setting TopMost property, but the result is the same.
I am trying to set all these forms to be displayed at top when they are opened.
I think I have a problem in understanding the behavior of Windows while handling these Modal dialogs.
Can anyone suggest me a link to learn this behavior or an example that may lead to solution of my problem?
Thank you,
Always keep the Murphy Rules in mind!

I am wondering if there is a way (perhaps through Attributes) that I can indicate to a PropertyGrid that I want a certain Property (which is an int) of a class MyClass to be limited to a given range, say 0-10. I know I could put Runtime checking into the Property's set method itself and throw an error if the new value is out of range, but I don't want to throw an error, I just want the PropertyGrid itself to limit the valid range to be 0-10.
Use ICustomTypeDescriptor, PropertyDescriptor and an Attribute.
Create your own Attribute, like RangeAttribute that stores the min and the max. The only thing you have to validate is that the objects that are passed in support ICompareable. It's handy to put in a method in this class to check if a value is within range IsInRange( object val ).
Next create a PropertyDescriptor that takes another PropertyDescriptor as a constructor parameter. In the SetValue method look for the RangeAttribute, call IsInRange(). If it's in range, perform the set (on the PropertyDescriptor that was passed in) if not dont.
Third create a base class (or implement it in all of the classes that you want) that forwards most calls to TypeDescriptor. The only method that you need to implement is GetProperties( Attribute[] ). Basically what you want to do is get a list of all the properties from the reflected class, and create a new PropertyDescriptorCollection with your PropertyDescriptors.
Then you will be able to specify properties like this.
private int _Foo;
[MyRangeAttribute( (int) 0, (int) 10 )]
public int Foo
{
get
{
return _Foo;
}
set
{
if ( value != _Foo )
{
_Foo = value;
}
}

Translate it? To what language? Listen up pal, the fact that you can't understand what people say because you refuse to read the documentation is your problem not ours. Nobody can pry your head open and pour knowledge into it. You will have to do the reading and the studying to try and understand things you need to do your job.
