Re: How to make a Class object global??

If you actually need an object instead of just static methods in a class, you can make a singleton:

public class Singleton {

   private Singleton instance;

   private Singleton() {}

   public Singletton GetInstance() {
      if (this.instance == null) {
         this.instance = new Singleton();
      }
      return this.instance;
   }

}

private static Singleton instance;
public static Singletton GetInstance();

might though. Also, I read once, that private static Singleton instance = new Singleton(); would be gauranteed to be accessed in order and is not subject to threading issues. Whereas this.instance == null can cause threading problems.

Yes, correct.

Yes, to make it thread safe you need locking.

or RichTextBox.SelectionStart and RichTextBox.SelectionLength...

If you just want to move the cursor, leave RichTextBox.SelectionLength = 0.

Data Access Application Block AddInParameter method

Hi,

Why when using this method is there no paramter size property to set? And does the method indicate that it is an input parameter?

The size is implied by the DbType or calculated when necessary. That's the great thing about these blocks, it takes of the little things for you and allows you to concentrate on the solution.

Yes, as the name implies, this is for setting Input parameters. There is a cooresponding AddOutParameter and a simple AddParamater if you need more control.

Data Access Application Block

Hi,

I am using the data access application block January 2006. It's the first time that I am using it. Can someone please look at my code and comment on it, I want to know if I am doing this correctly, and if there is anything I need to add or to close/dispose. Am I checking for the correct exceptions? Basically I want to return a strongly typed list of Vendor objects:

public static List<Vendor> GetAllVendors()
{
DbCommand dbCommand = null;
List<Vendor> vendorList = new List<Vendor>();

try
{
// Load the default database
Database db = DatabaseHelper.DatabaseDB;

// Specify the stored procedure
string strSProc = "sp_Vendor_GetAllVendors";

using (dbCommand = db.GetStoredProcCommand(strSProc))
{
IDataReader rdr = db.ExecuteReader(dbCommand);

while (rdr.Read())
{
Vendor objVendor = new Vendor();
objVendor.ID = DatabaseHelper.GetInt(rdr["VendorID_PK"]);
objVendor.Status = DatabaseHelper.GetBool(rdr["VendorStatus"]);
// Add Vendor instance to array
vendorList.Add(objVendor);
}
rdr.Close();
}
}
catch (SqlException ex)
{
throw new Exception(ex.Message, ex);
}
finally
{
dbCommand.Dispose();
}

return vendorList;
}

Hope someone can let me know!

ma se

Nothing major that I can see.

Although there is nothing wrong with calling dbCommand.Dispose in the finally block it is technically unnecessary as it will be disposed when the using block is exited.

I would also consider using DataTable.Load(db.ExecuteReader). That way you could close the db connection sooner and still iterate through the resultset.

DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Load(db.ExecuteReader(dbCommand));

// Close connection here

DataTableReader reader = dt.CreateDataReader();

You need to add event handlers to handle "NewWindow" event when the user clicks on a link with the target not on the current webbrowser

1. For Pre Windows XP SP2

axWebBrowser.NewWindow2

2. For Windows XP2 and later there is another event named

axWebBrowser.NewWindow3

The whole code for this would look

axWebBrowser.NewWindow2 += new AxSHDocVw.DWebBrowserEvents2_NewWindow2EventHandler(axWebBrowser_NewWindow2);<br />
<br />
try<br />
{<br />
	axWebBrowser.NewWindow3 += new AxSHDocVw.DWebBrowserEvents2_NewWindow3EventHandler(axWebBrowser_NewWindow3);<br />
}<br />
catch ( Exception )<br />
{<br />
	// Not XP SP2 - just ignore<br />
}

Now in the event handlers all you have to do is block the new window from opening by putting

e.Cancel = true;

and redirect the current webbrowser to the new URL sent by the event.

That's the variable name. The activeX browser could be found on your system. With .NET 1.1 the simplest way is that you should import that COM component from system32/shdocvw.dll. .NET 2.0 already have a web browser control for you by default from the toolbox.

You must use the same method in MSN or Yahoo.
In your application, you must write the hostname (not host IP).
The hostname will be changed to IP automatically using DNS Server.

Put each line in this method:

static string GetValue(string input)
{
	string[] output = input.Split('=');
	output[1] = output[1].Replace("\"", "").Replace(";", "").Trim();
	return output[1];
}

For example :
input : this.tabPage1.Text = "SPECIFICATIONS";
output : SPECIFICATIONS

You can't execute code dynamically like that. If you were just writing scripts instead of using compiled code, it could be done.

If you split them up in texts and toolstips, you could locate the controls using the name and change them. Just save the names and texts in the file, there is no reason to have it in a code-like syntax.

Hello

You can parse and excute C# statements from text files but in your case it's not worth it. Instead you should store the names of your controls, and the the values. Then you might want to check them with if/else if statements. eg:

string MyReadLine = TextFile.ReadLine();
if(MyReadLine.StartWith("TabPage1"))
{
    string temp = MyReadLine.SubString(8);
    tabPage1.Text = temp;
}
else if(...

Another more advanced approach would be Reflection. Just type Reflection in your MSDN's index. Yet again I don't think it's worth it.
