Re: parenthesis in a string

String asdf = "(";

Same escape sequence rules in C, C++, C#, and Java.

Must be something else you are doing. That should work.

The only tricky character is the backslash. It is the escape character for non-printing and control characters, so you have strange constructions like:

string abcd = "\"\\\"";

That translates to a string containing double-quote backslash double-quote.

Program Auto-Updated

I'm trying to create a launcher program that will automatically update files for another program and then launch that updated program. The launcher and the main app have already been created as seperate VS .Net projects(.exe). My question is would it be possible to build the main app as a dll, reference it in the other project and then have the launcher update the dll and launch it? Any sort of help would be greatly appreciated.

Code first, ask questions later. Poke tongue | ;-P

Hm. This provides the same sort of functionality I'm looking for, but since I've already wrote the auto-updater I'm just wondering if there is an easy way to integrate two projects so one can open the other. Both are .exes right now, I would like the internal problem to be a .dll.

What you want to do is called "late binding". Search on that term and you will find several articles.

DataGrid cells

Hello,

Is there a way of making a specific cell in the column of a Grid - ReadOnly.

Thank you.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Uhmmm... well... yes. But its a bit complicated:

You will have to inherit from the DataGridTextBoxColumn and override the Edit function. Here you could throw an event with CancelEventArgs, catch it somewhere outside and determine from the CurrentCell whether it should be ReadOnly or not (and set the Cancel of the EventArgs).

Div operation

Hello,

Is there a way to implement a div operation on two numbers?
I need the quotent result.

So if I have two decimals, and my result after division is 5.2, I need only 5.

Thank you

29-Jul-05 6:46

double num1 = 26f;
double num2 = 5f;
 
double result = Math.Floor(num1 / num2);

Good luck!

Thank you.

By the way, do you know how to format the decimal output to only 4 decimal points?

If I have:

decimal totalArea = (NetRes * DevRes);
how do I format totalArea to have 4 decimal points?

Thank you.

Luis Alonso Ramos29-Jul-05 7:14

29-Jul-05 7:14

You don't format totalArea to 4 decimal digits. You could round it to 4 decimal digits, which is a bit different:

totalArea = Math.Round(totalArea, 4);

Here you are changing the number itself. Also, you can convert to string with 4 decimal digits:

string area = totalArea.ToString("0000");

This last statement will fill area with the string representation of totalArea, with 4 decimal places. totalArea won't be modified and will keep all its digits.

Thak you.

Luis, wanted to ask you one more question.
I have a dataview on a Table, and I apply a RowFilter on it:

dataview.RowFilter = "TimelineID IS NULL";

If I output the dataview.Count, it equals 2. So, do you know how I can access these rows in dataview? I don't want to use dataview.Table.Rows, becuase it returns all the rows in the dataview.

Thank you
and sorry to bother you with so many questions

Luis Alonso Ramos29-Jul-05 7:45

how to know if th file is open ?

29-Jul-05 7:45

<code>foreach(DataRowView row in dataview)
{
    int x = (int) row["x"];
}

or you could also:

int x = (int) dataview[rowIndex]["x"];

I think you could simulate it. Try to open it, if it works, then it isn't open otherwise it's close.

Did anyone has seen a C program that fixes JPEG header files? I've saw it before and unfortunately haven't had time to copy it down. I would love to compile it and run it. Any tips in tracking position before pointer and after pointer would also help, I've always thought it was *+1 or *-1 Thanks!

Control grouping on Windows form?

Mutty29-Jul-05 4:26

29-Jul-05 4:26

I have a small area on a windows form that, based on user input, should have different controls displayed. The way I'm thinking to do it is to just overlap all the controls in design, and then change the .visible property of individual controls as needed. Ugly. Is there a better way to do this?

I don't want to use tabs, since the space is small and I don't want the other tabs visible.

Thanks -mutty
