Both of those are UI for chess engines. This guy was hoping to find some chess engine written in C#.

Are they? You are right about the second one, but Valil.Chess contains port of Java chess engine... or at least that's what article say, but I admit I didn't look at the code. Why would author say something what isn't true.. I assume that engine IS there.

Basic combo box question

sea#17-Jul-05 5:48

I'm trying to work with combo box, which will display graphically data I store in access DB. Each index no. has a column in the DB. means: choose option with index 1 from drop down list; get data & graph for column 1. Very simple & strait forward. I just cannot seem to grasp the idea of this combo box & what's running it. What is the event which will trigger the change of display? How do I pass item index no. to the method that connected to DB?
You may send me a link to a site where I can view some simple examples of those? I've been looking all over & couldn't find something useful.

I have a NET problem
In java I ahave made a NetCalculator bla bla and I needed a method
like this one:

public byte [] getBytes ()
{
return InetAddress.getByName(this.ip).getAddress();
}

Now I want to port this in C# all fine but I need to return the
"byte[]" the ".getAddress();" does this but in C# tthe

public byte [] getBytes ()
{
return Dns.GetHostByName(this.ip).AddressList;
}

Returns something else...

How can I convert this to c#?

THX...

How About this?How can I convert this java code to c#

nslookup = address.getHostName();

nslookup = Address.getHostName(InetAddress.getByName(nsl));

}

Hello,

I have developed two versions of an application, with one of them using regular expressions. It's code is much more clear and maintainable, but the problem is the program runs slower. I know there are some rules in building efficient expressions, but I don't have too much expirience using regex. Could you please provide some tips?

Thanks

Show us the regular expressions and maybe someone can point out some of your inefficiencies. Btw, if you have .* in there then chances are it's gonna be extremely inefficient.

Hi,

create\s+(procedure|function)\s+[\w_\.-]*\s*\(.+\n*\)(.*\n)*?begin(?<fid>(.*\n)+?)end

With this expression I'm trying to retrive the body of a stored procedure. I don't see how to avoid the .* and .+ . Any advices?

Regards

You can replace all your .*\n with [^\n]* which is the same but more efficient... plus, if you had singleline mode turned on your regex would probably break as it is (or it might be more efficient ith a little tweaking ... depending on what area you are trying to capture. I'd also replace the .+\n with [^\n]+ and you should use named captures and turn on explicit capturing... that should speed up your regex a lot.

Post a few examples of what you want to match and I'll see what I can come up with.

Hi Brian,

Doesn't [^\n] stand for anything but new line character?

Basically I'm trying to get the body of a procedure or function by the name. For example:

create function dbo.user_id(in @user_name char(128) default
null)
returns integer
on exception resume
begin
declare id integer;
select user_id into id
from SYS.SYSUSERPERMS where
user_name = isnull(@user_name,current user);
return(id)
end

What I need is the part between begin and end.

Thanks for helping !

Ah, yes... mis read your expression.

This regex will do:

(?smnx-i)begin\n(?<StoredProcBody>.*)end

The body is stored in the named capture StoredProcBody

If we ignore the gaping hole in the security of your application (May I suggest that you read SQL Injection Attacks and Tips on How to Prevent Them[^]) you can easily combine the two statements into one by using OR in the WHERE clause.

e.g.

DELETE FROM Trouser WHERE Company = 'abc' OR Waist = 123

That will delete the row where any of the conditions are true. Compare this with AND where all the conditions must be true in order for the row to be deleted.

Does this help?

hi to all,

i am trying to get all registered file extensions on a system so i can filter queries to the filesystem that is displayed in a ListView Control

i am iterating the subkeys of CLASSES_ROOT but i am getting alot of keys that do not appear within the display of the Windows 'add new file type' list box. is there a way to only get this list of extensions ?

i will paste my code which basically just gets all subkey names starting with '.'

<br />
public IList<string> GetFileTypes()<br />
        {<br />
            IList<string> fileTypes = new List<string>();<br />
            RegistryKey root = Registry.ClassesRoot;<br />
            string[] subkeys = root.GetSubKeyNames();<br />
<br />
            foreach (string key in subkeys)<br />
            {<br />
                if (key.StartsWith("."))<br />
                {<br />
                    fileTypes.Add(key.Substring(1));<br />
                }<br />
            }<br />
            return fileTypes;<br />
        }<br />

thanx to all,

ok so i can get them now without any problems, the same as MS file types window but the icon is not displayed, y is this so ?

i am definitley getting the icons (both large and small) i can see it when debugging, but they dont appear in listview control, my code is long so i will have to email if someone can help but i am basically

...

iterating the registry keys to find file types, adding the small and large icons to thier respective imagelists (iteratively) and then adding the string array of extension and description to the listviews items list (also iteratively).

...

this is all done in InitaliseValuesInControl()

<br />
public FileTypeControl()<br />
        {<br />
            InitializeComponent();<br />
<br />
            handler = new IconHandler();<br />
            fileEntries = new Dictionary<string, FileType>();<br />
<br />
            InitaliseValuesInControl();<br />
<br />
        }<br />

i have tried to pull all code from InitializeComponent() and put it into the InitaliseValuesInControl() method so i was drawing the control after the imagelists and item list were populated but it still doesnt display the image.

any ideas please ?

kind regards,
g00fy
