I'm sorry if my question is stupid, but are you sure your property definition is inside a class?
Giving the class definition, with the irrelevant parts left out, might help.
Cheers,
Vikram.

 Thanks for your answers folks. I have found the solution (pardon the pun) to the problem. It seems that I had accidently typed in some code from the wrong page.  Below I've listed my coding that works correctly. Thanks again. 
using System;<br />
using System.Collections.Generic;<br />
using System.Text;<br />
using PersonNameSpace;
<br />
namespace StudentNameSpace<br />
{<br />
public class Student : Person<br />
{<br />
private string major;<br />
private int studentId;<br />
<br />
<br />
public Student() : base()
{<br />
major = "unknown";<br />
studentId = 0;<br />
}<br />
public Student(string id, string fname, string lname, string maj, int sId)<br />
: base(id, lname, fname)
{<br />
major = maj;<br />
studentId = sId;<br />

The only option you have is to implement some kind of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to do the conversion. There is nothing in the .NET Framework that is going to do this for you. You can either write your own implementation or use a third party library to do it for you.
To try to do it yourself, you'll have to have a good understanding of neural networks. Try searching the articles for "OCR" and you'll come up with some examples.
If you go the thrid party component route, just Google for "OCR component .NET".

I made a little application using the FAXCOMLib library that will send a job to the win fax services, however I have attached 3 modems to my computer with 3 different phone lines, and I added the modem to the fax services, however when I send multiple faxes to the queue it sends one at a time even though the other two modems are sitting there. so How can I make windows fax service to use the next available modem as long as there are jobs in the queue?

In my continuing, and seemingly endless, quest to understand design patterns and apply them to my code I've encountered the Factory Pattern - and I'm struggling to apply it to my current application, inspite of all the articles and literature on it. Can anyone help my edification?
In my tiered application I have a Business Layer consisting of Business Rules and Entities, and a Data Access Layer which takes care of the Database access.
The current design runs thusly - BLL calls function in DAL, which then queries the database and returns (or doesn't return dependent on the query results) a whole bunch of Entities (such as people, machines, models, sites etc etc) to the BLL.
It's the creation of the entities that's got me puzzled. In the DAL what I do to create them is to loop through a DataReader object and pass the DataReader into the Entity's constructor. This works fine, but I can see the limitations to this approach, not least in that the Entity in question has to know about the DataReader type.
What I'm really struggling with is how to inject the Factory Pattern into this scenario - each class in the DAL is responsible for getting different types of object, and as far as I can see they're kind of unrelated. Does this mean I need a different factory for each? Or can I just make one factory and pass it a value (or whatever) to tell it what type of objects I want created?
Any help appreciated!

My understanding is that the Factory method would only take a simple object, like an identifying string or an int representing a code and use that to decide which class to instantiate. For instance, you pass "RFR" to instantiate a Reversal File Reader and "TDFR" to instantiate a Transaction Detail File Reader. What does your Factory method do with the DataReader? Surely it only uses a single value or two? Just modify the method so it takes only the relevant data, and make them native data types.

Again, my understanding is that a Factory method is to be used when the objects it instantiates are similar in some way - typically/perhaps subclasses of the same superclass. While I think having a Factory method that returns different animals or different file readers is very good design, I wouldn't write a Factory method that returns a Tiger, an Apple, and a TransactionSummaryFileReader.
Again, I must emphasize that I'm new to patterns myself, so take whatever I've said with a pinch large dose of salt. I hope I made some sense, and will gladly welcome others' views on this.
Cheers,
Vikram.

Like any tool in software development, patterns can be overused. You always want to keep in mind what problem a pattern seeks to solve and make sure this problem exists (or is likely to exist) in your code. Patterns can be used to make your code more flexible, but they can often make your code more complex.
I know of three Factory patterns: Simple Factory, Factory Method, and Abstract Factory.
Simple Factory and Factory Method encapsulate object creation and allow you to decouple the use of a class from its implementation. This allows you to maintain a level of abstraction in your code. For example, you might have code that uses “automobile” objects. The code that uses the “automobile” doesn’t care if it’s a sports car, sedan, minivan or truck. All it cares about is that it is an “automobile”, which means it can be started, driven, and parked.
The key here is that the objects created by the Simple Factory and Factory Method patterns are related - they either implement the same interface or derive from the same base class.
This doesn’t seem to fit what you have going on in your scenario. You have entities such as person, computer, model, and site. These entities aren’t likely to share a direct base class or implement the same interface.
Abstract Factory allows you group together and encapsulate the creation of families of related objects. So, going back to our automobile example, you might have an abstract factory that deals with the creation of Oil and Gasoline objects. The abstract factory would be defined as an interface with two methods:
Interface CarEssentials
{
Gasoline GetGasoline();
Oil GetOil();
}
You would then implement Concrete Factories to return related Gasoline and Oil objects:
Class SporsCarEssentials : CarEssentials
{
Gasoline GetGasoline() { return UltraUnleaded;}
Oil GetOil() {return HighPerformanceOil;}
}
Class SedanEssentials : CarEssentials
{
Gasoline GetGasoline() { return RegularUnleaded;}
Oil GetOil() {return new StandardOil;}
}
Like the Simple Factory and Factory Method patterns, I don’t see Abstract Factory working for you.
Perhaps the reason you are having difficulty figuring out how to apply a Factory pattern to your code is that the Factory patterns aren’t the right tool for the job.
Then again, I could be completely wrong...
Hope this helps!
Ian

I'd completely forgotten I'd posted this - until just now!
Thanks both for your answers; Ian, I think what you said is very sound advice! I think I was getting lost in Design Patterns simply because they're there to solve problems that I don't (yet) have.

Hello,
My bits to byte conversion works for selected items, for unselected items i am trying to make it unselected but the value is not changing.,
this is my piece of code.,
int count = SecurityGroups.Items.Count;
for (int index = 0; index < count; index++)
{
int arrayIndex = Convert.ToInt32(SecurityGroups.Items[index].Value);
if (SecurityGroups.Items[index].Selected)
//convert the bits to bytes
aGroup[arrayIndex / 8] |= (byte)(1 << (arrayIndex % 8));
else
aGroup[arrayIndex] = (byte)(0<< (arrayIndex % 8));
}
for unselected item the conversion part of making those byte to 0 fails. why is it?
i tried making the bit to 0 but that as well does not work
aGroup[arrayIndex] = 0;
With Rgds,
Anil

Instead of writing your own byte conversion routine, have you tried using the System.BitConverter class?
p.s. you posted duplicate posts. Please delete the other one.
|
|
|
|
|
How do i do that? I cannot use it for this program i guess.
|
|
|
|
|
To convert an int to a byte[], you'd do something like this:
byte[] bytes = BitConverter.GetBytes(theInteger);
Will that work for you?
|
|
|
|
|
No since i do all this based on the selection.
|
|
|
|
|
I got the solution,
I did a bitarray and converted into bytes using this code...
private static byte[] BitArrayToByteArray(BitArray bits)
{
// Who knows, might change
const int BITSPERBYTE = 8;
// Get the size of bytes needed to store all bytes
int bytesize = bits.Length / BITSPERBYTE;
// Any bit left over another byte is necessary
if (bits.Length % BITSPERBYTE > 0)
{
bytesize++;
}
// For the result
byte[] bytes = new byte[bytesize];
// Must init to good value, all zero bit byte has value zero
// Lowest significant bit has a place value of 1, each position to
// to the left doubles the value
byte value = 0;
byte significance = 1;
// Remember where in the input/output arrays
int bytepos = 0;
int bitpos = 0;
while (bitpos < bits.Length)
{
// If the bit is set add its value to the byte
if (true == bits[bitpos])
{
value += significance;
}
bitpos++;
if (0 == bitpos % BITSPERBYTE)
{
// A full byte has been processed, store it
// increase output buffer index and reset work values
bytes[bytepos] = value;
bytepos++;
value = 0;
significance = 1;
}
else
{
// Another bit processed, next has doubled value
significance *= 2;
}
}
return bytes;
}

is completely wrong:
1. the array index needs a /8
2. to clear a bit within a byte without affecting the other bits, you need:
either AND with the complement of that bit
or first SET the bit, then EXOR the same bit (to clear it)

I am new to this shift operator so i am not able follow., can u pls show a sample...
i tried doing this but could not get the result
aGroup[arrayIndex / 8] &= (byte)(~1 << (arrayIndex % 8));

you are almost there, but
in a complex expression you sometimes need parentheses to change the default order
of execution...
If your code does not work, I advice:
- to try something simpler and see if that works, then make it more complex
- look at intermediate values, preferably by logging (= inserting output statements,
e.g. Console.WriteLine(string)).

Dear Sir,
Could you please help me with this ?
In a PopUp-Window, if I selected a row in a gridview to show another gridview, it will blink always. I used RowDataBound and SelectedIndexChanged-events to select the row in the first gridview.
Why ? Could you show me how to solve the problem ? that it won't blink again everytime I select a row ?
Thank you very very much for your help ..
Juni

it blinks because it is refreshing the page on slectedindex change.. if you don't want ti to blink, then you have to use either AJAX or load everything from server at the first itme and use javascript to show/hide the required data/gridview.....

thank you for your answer.. i ve got another question if you don't mind ?
how could i link a hyperlinkfield in a gridview to a popup window ?
thus, what should i do if want to open a popup window if i click a hyperlinkfield in a gridview (i write the programcode in C#)
thank you very much for your help.
JS

|
|
|
|
you have to create a javascript function to open a new window, in rowdatabound function find the hyper link and change the onclick function to call the javascript function assing the url to that function. in the javascript function use window.open function to open the window and then return false so that it does not refresh the parent page.

Does anybody know how to work with Digital Persona finer reader 4000B in C#.Net? and where should i find sample of it.
Thanks in advance.

A quick google search reveals SDK material for Digital Persona[^]. Sounds like you need to contact the company first; ask them if they've got a COM or .NET SDK. Either will work in C#, Mr. Butt. 
p.s. I love your name, by the way. Puts a smile on my face every time.

Thanks you Judah Himango. I've visited this web already but i didn't find any thing in it regarding C#.Net. And I also contacted with the company but I thought may be some person try this device, so i posted question on it, anyways, thank you for liking my name.
Take Care & Allah Hafiz (Good Bye)
