Three easy options, +, string.Format or StringBuilder

The first two...

string newString = "welcome" + "to" + "hello" + "world";
string newString = string.Format("{0} {1} {2} {3}", "welcome", "to", "hello", "world");

I do assume you know how to concatenate two strings and if you don't you should get a C# book and go through it.

If you are not sure what order they words are coming from the database in, I'm afraid you cannot do a 'grammatically correct' concatenation unless you build your own language parser. That would mean writing tons of parsing logic and building your own language database.

You need to set the column's image propery as shown here.

One way you can do this is to use the CellsPainting event to draw the
bitmap for a particular cell. Here is code that does this ssuming the bitmap is in an imagelist.

//this.images is an ImageList with your bitmaps
void dataGridView1_CellPainting(object sender,
DataGridViewCellPaintingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.ColumnIndex == 1 && e.RowIndex == -1)
    {
        e.PaintBackground(e.ClipBounds, false);

        Point pt = e.CellBounds.Location;// where you want the bitmap
in the cell
        int offset = (e.CellBounds.Width -
this.images.ImageSize.Width) / 2;
        pt.X += offset;
        pt.Y += 1;
        this.images.Draw(e.Graphics, pt, 0);
        e.Handled = true;
    }
}

This is just an example. You can use this logic and solve your problem.

I was looking for a way to store a set of questions along with answers so that I can randomnly pick and display 1 question at a time on my GUI.

Please note that I need to log the Q&A offline.. ie i am thinking of a text file or related method of storage.

Nice if you could suggest a way !

See, there are many ways to store your data(Questions and answers).

Like, xml file, text file, data file(serialized data), database, etc...

It is your choice and selection. The best suited method is to store
your data in database. It provides you features like security,
extendability and many more.

I was trying to use httpwebrequest to use a rest like service on a remote server and from the first execution itself, my code was hanging the program. Then I tried it as a console application to make sure it has nothing to do with the program itself but no luck!

""password"":""test""
}";

int tmp = ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit;
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(@"https://qrua.com/qr/service" + @"/auth/login");
request.Method = "POST";
request.KeepAlive = true;
request.Timeout = 50000 ;
request.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
request.ContentType = "application/json";
try
{
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream());
writer.Write(credentialsJson);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("EXCEPTION:" + e.Message);
}

//WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
try
{
using (WebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
{
Console.WriteLine("request:\n" + request.ToString() + "\nresponse:\n" + response.ContentLength);
response.Close();
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("EXCEPTION: in sending http request:" + " \nError message:" + e.Message);
}

Tried several things from different forums including this one but it doesnt help. Even a simple console app with the above code hangs the console indefinitely! Any help would be great..

Use HttpWebRequest.Create instead of WebRequest.Create, that may work. The documentation for WebRequest.GetRequestStream suggests it is not implemented.

Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS.

I don't think that will help, as:
1. the method is overridden in HttpWebRequest, which means it is virtual anyway.
2. it works for OP too, a couple of times at least.
3. I use WebRequest.GetResponse myself all the time.

So I rather suspect something is wrong with the web site; it could be down, needing special credentials, whatever.

I was just offering a suggestion of something to try. Usually when there is no obvious error the best thing to do is try something else, assuming you check the normal things.

With regard to credentials or the site being down, both throw exceptions, no? The OP reported hanging which is usually different.

I would hope so, but I am not sure. Anyway, there isn't enough code to work with. What about timeouts? what about threading?

What I would do is:
- add detailed logging (and not use single-stepping);
- change the order of the web sites and see what gives (see if the one that hangs also does so when it is first).

HowTo: Accessing a cell in a multidimensional ArrayList

Shaareable9-Jul-10 5:10

Greetings,

Search on Google and Code Project and found nothing in the 15 minutes dedicated to the task...

Here is my question:

I am reading through a binary file and need to copy to a dynamic array an unknown number of bytes streams.
At first I thought the simplest way would be to do a multidimensional string array however since I do not know how many items will be in the file instantiating a huge array felt like going to war with Fat Bastard instead of a Ninja.... loll

Hence I tried this code:

ArrayList sd = new ArrayList(); // PDF streams array
sd.Add(new ArrayList());          // array for the stream_beginning offset (long)
sd.Add(new ArrayList());          // array for the stream_end offset (long)
sd.Add(new ArrayList());          // array for the stream_content utf8.toString(s,2)

The problem is that I don't know how to use it.
I have two scenarios:

1- Add stuff to the array
2- Access the stuff (later I will need to read line by line the stuff (start,end, content) that the ArrayList holds)

Thanks for helping out a newbie Smile | :)

Hi,

Thank for you for answering.
However, and its my fault, your answer is not fulfilling its purpose.

In this code:

ArrayList sd = new ArrayList(); // PDF streams array
            sd.Add(new ArrayList());          // array for the stream_beginning offset (long)
            sd.Add(new ArrayList());          // array for the stream_end offset (long)
            sd.Add(new ArrayList());          // array for the content itself (utf8.ToString(s,2)

How would add an item (the item being the beginning offset, the end offset and the content itself) ?
Also, how would you access just the beginning offset of the first item?

Thank you for your time, its appreciated.

Hi,

ArrayList or Generic I don't know.

I have to store in some kind of array items that each have three properties (long,long,string).
I need a way to have the array be dynamic in order to avoid instantiating a huge array.

thanks,
