Re: Change Locked property - C# Discussion Boards

here you are ... "Please"

by the way, you do not need to reply; instead of searching the form, I am going to keep a list of added controls, I will then iterate through my own list to drop the correct controls.

Thanks.

No need to be ironic and/or rude!

Thats a very good Idea!
I would use an ArrayList to hold the instances of the TextBoxes.
I would also be carefull, when iterating over an Collection and Removing an item out of this Collection.
For that, I would Clone the ArrayList and iterate over the Clone, cast each object to TextBox (with "as"), do my validation, and remove it from the original Collection!

All the best,

Seriously, if you can't write:

foreach(Control ctrl in form.Controls)
{
  if (ctrl.Tag==myTag)
  { 
     ctrl.Parent=null;
     break;
  }
}

Then I have to ask, what are you doing pretending to be a programmer?

Hi,

I am writing the user control,inside user control i am adding button
control. I have collection of buttons,button is geting added using property editor. I want user should not be able to move the button at design time (when user drops my user control on the Form)
I tried with Locked property of button but we can not set this property at run time.
How should i avoid the user to move the button??

Thanks,
Tushar

Hi,

I provide my user controls in a separate "Lib" file, and controls over my user controls cannot be moved by the developer at the design time. How are u able to move the buttons on user controls?

Hi,

I am adding buttons like this,the event is fired from onInsert of the CollectionBase derived class ButtonList

void _ButtonList_OnCustomButtonAdded(CustomButton newCustomButton)
{
int customButtonWidth = 0;
foreach (CustomButton customButton in _tabPagesList)
{
customButtonWidth = customButtonWidth +
customButton.Width;
}
newCustomButton.Left = customButtonWidth - newCustomButton.Width;
newCustomButton.LeftPos = customButtonWidth - newCustomButton.Width;
newCustomButton.Top = 0;
Graphics g = this.CreateGraphics();
float width = g.MeasureString(newCustomButton.Text, BoldTabFont).Width;
newCustomButton.Width = (int)width;
newCustomButton.Parent = this;
newCustomButton.Show();
newCustomButton.Click += new EventHandler(newCustomButton_Click);
newCustomButton.OnCustomButtonMouseDown += new CustomButton.CustomButtonMouseDown(newCustomButton_OnCustomButtonMouseDown);
this.Controls.Add(newCustomButton);
newCustomButton.BringToFront();
}

buttons added are movable at design time

Thanks,

Hello,

How is newCustomButton instanciated?

Tried it in a Test Program, but I never made it like you discriped?

Hello,

Make the button a private member of your UserControl!

Any suggestions resolving this kind of staff?????

As the class and the code that uses it are in separate namespaces, you either need a using statement to locate the namespace of the class, or you have to specify the complete namespace everytime you use the name of the class.

Hi,

I need to send startDate to a Service like following format.But I need to send it as a DateTime Object NOT like string format.So How do I send following Date with DateTime Object?

<startdate>2007-07-29T00:00:00.0000000+05:30

Please kindly reply me.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

DateTime is a serializable class, and there is no issue sending it to the Services like "Remoting" server as a parameter of a interface function call.

Also, if you are trying to send it to the other service which has been written using C#, you can serialize the DateTime object and send it as "byte" data, and get it deserialized at the sever end.

Hi,

Thanks for reply. But in my XML Web Service,There is a DateTime Property called "StartDate".

So I need to send following format to there as a DateTime object.
2007-07-29T00:00:00.0000000+05:30

Problem is how can I send +05:30 with the DateTime object?.

Thanks in advance

why dont you use one more parameter for the Time Zone value.

Manoj
Never Give up

hi,

We are unable to change the xml webservice.We can send request to service and take response.

In the Request we need to send StartDate with Time Zone.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe this helps

string dateformat;
TimeZone localZone = TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone;
dateformat = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd") + "T" DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.ToString() + localZone.GetUtcOffset(DateTime.Now);

dateformat gets somting like:
"2007-05-21T18:26:24.8906250-03:00:00"

you may need to cut the last ":00".

Replace de DateTime.Now for the DateTime Object you need to send.

hi Iunderstand how to use :
public test: Interface
{
}
but,
what is the meaning of this statement:
Isomething x ;

I saw it in :
Icontainer component = null;
and
Excel.application app = new Excel.application();

how can I use the above?

An interface guarantees that a class will implement some methods. Suppose that you have an interface called IPlugin that contains one method called DoSomethingFunky. The interface is to be used as the basis for all plugins for your application. Now, in your code you don't know what the external classes are going to be and you certainly can't compile against them so you need some method for creating these unknown classes. Well, you can do this by using

IPlugin plugin = null;
// Do something to create and instantiate the plugin... (using reflection)
plugin.DoSomethingFunky();

Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

It is a variable declared with an inteface type instead of a class type and can hold any object that implements the interface.

To give the simplest example, if you have:
public interface IMyInterface{}
public class ClassWhichImplementsMyInterface:IMyInterface{}

You can use the following in your code:
IMyInterface MyVariable = new ClassWhichImplementsMyInterface();

A good example of the usefulness of this in the .net framework is the foreach statement which will accept any object that implements the IEnumerable interface. It uses objects that implement IEnumerable and knows how to handle them based on that interface.

topcoderjax

do you knows how it works
in Excel namespace?

the code goes:
Excel.application app = new excel.application();
Excel.application is an Interface!
but I don't need to implement any of the Excel.application interface, I just use it's methods
like a regular class.
p.s. It's shows in msdn also.

I am using Datagrid to show data.I am also using header template to show column headers.

Now I want to have one row above the header which contains the name of the datagrid and colspan="no of columns" which can be achieved in HTML table. How can i do in Datagrid ?? Any ideas?? Confused | :confused:

Thanx in advance.

Hi,

I'm assigning value to a DataSet ds (from SQL database) in button A Click event and I set this dataset as DataSource for my grid.

Next if I check the value of this DataSet ds in another button click event, I can't get its value. ds is a Class variable, but I still can't get its value.
The DataSet has one table, which I can see in button A Click event, but in another button event click if i Check the values of ds.Tables.Count, its zero. I'm not manipulating the DataSet anywhere. Could anyone tell me why this happens?

Regards,
Blumen
