firstly I think youve made a typo (either in your code or in transposing it to a post)

fmardani wrote:
if (!(intPosHomeUS > 0 && intPosHomeUK > 0) || (intPosHomeUK > 0 && intPosHostUS > 0))

should that be

if (!(intPosHomeUS > 0 && intPosHomeUK > 0) || (intPosHostUK > 0 && intPosHostUS > 0))

if not, and its correct, I could break down the code as

if(! (false && true) || (true && true))

breaks down further as

if( ! (false || true) )

and once more as

if(!true)

so

!true == false

so your message box will not show.

Doesn't it evaluate to:

(!false || true)

rather than

!(false || true)

Which would of course trigger the message box? I tend to go overboard with the parens just to make sure I'm negating the right thing because of stuff like this.

me too!

In my post I am assuming (rather than have tested) that it is evaluated as

!(false || true)

rather than

(!false || true)

The negation operator (!) has a higher precedence than the logical or operator. I think you made a typo yourself when you went from steps:

if(! (false && true) || (true && true))

To:

if( ! (false || true) )

Personally, I would suggest just using the debugger and putting a watch in to see what exactly is going in. Put the full statement "(!(intPosHomeUS > 0 && intPosHomeUK > 0) || (intPosHostUK > 0 && intPosHostUS > 0))" and then break it down into pieces to find the error.

As a side note, I'm not a big fan of putting a negation like that because it always seems to trip me up (may just be me). So, I typically pass the negation through the set...so you'd have something like this instead:

if (intPosHomeUS <= 0 || intPosHomeUK <= 0 || (intPosHostUK > 0 && intPosHostUS > 0))

It's just DeMorgan's Law...you can find more about it here[^].

It tends to trip me up as well, but I prefer writing the exression in the intuitive 'as english' format and either using a temp var for the base expression and then notting the temp in the expression or switching the then and else clauses around to avoid the negation all together.

Yes, it should, and it does.

Is this a logic issue? I noticed that you're not checking for a value from intPosHostUK

Keys shortcuts problem

Hi,

I need to know how can I create shotcut to myButton on form when I press key F10 independent of current active control on form, without using "ShortcutKey" in "ToolStipMenuItem".

I can do this if myButton is active control on form. I explicitly need to use key F10, so I can't use an & (ampersand) in a button text.

Thanks for help

handle key down or key up event of the form and then trigger click event by;
if(e.KeyCode == Keys.F10)
button1.PerformClick();

hope it helps.

Regards
Khalid

Hi,

I have just one more question. Can I check if ALT+F1 pressed?

Thanks,

Hello,

Yes you can!

if (e.Alt && e.KeyCode == Keys.F1)

Hope it's not too late, but I didn't got your post.

All the best,

Linq - Problems with conversion [modified]

Excuse me for being brief, but it is self explanatory.

So I make a query with linQ, and then try to make a 2nd query on the previous results, but there i get an error.

            List<clsHotel> q = from d in dbGet.Hotels()  // dbGet.Hotels() returns List<clsHotel><br />
                    select d;<br />
<br />
            if (chkHalfpension.Checked) {<br />
                List<clsHotel> z = from x in q     // Error occures here on q<br />
                                            where x.Naam == "Bon jour"   <br />
                                            select x;<br />
            }

It returns the following error on that line:

Error 1 Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<hotelmanager.data.clshotel>' to 'System.Collections.Generic.List<hotelmanager.data.clshotel>'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

If anyone could please help.

Thanks in advance !

-- Edit --

The weird thing is:

This code also doesnt works:

List<clsHotel> q = from d in dbGet.Hotels()  // dbGet.Hotels() returns List<clsHotel><br />
                    select d;<br />
<br />
                List<clsHotel> z = from vx in dbGet.Hotels()   // also gives error here<br />
                                   select vx;

It throws the same error, but the code is the same :s
Guess it's an bug in c#3.0 ?

instead of list, have you tried var?

Storme2-Nov-06 6:52

Yes, keeps saying the same error.

I guess you can't do 2 of that select things in the same function, wich is to bad Frown | :(

ed^nrgc2-Nov-06 6:55

Have you tried IEnumerable < string > < == remove spaces
