A Class is a something; a Method does something.
A Class is a blue-print for creating a structure: the structures created from a Class definition are instances of the Class.
Classes can contain other Class definitions, Methods, Fields.
A Method can accept parameters when it is invoked.
That's just the start ...

I many projects I have had a similar type of problem that I have not found a good general solution to.
Assuming that I have many different lines on a Canvas that are all organized in the flat storage Canvas.Children but I want these lines to be grouped by the object they are trying to draw. Like all lines in a Ball is grouped together and can be removed by a single checkbox click and at a higher level, I can remove the entire football field etc. The only way I found out to do this was through looping through everything every time I was adding, changing and removing it, basically involving recursion.
Does anyone have some good ideas or practices for solving this?

I would normally base this type of thing on working with an underlying model using MVVM. Basically, I would have something like a Shape model which contained an ObservableCollection of Lines. All you would need to do then is remove the Shape and clear the Lines collection and the related items would be removed from the screen. Without seeing your code, I can't say whether or not this is feasible with the architecture you currently have in place.

-House
So if I wanted to disable everything but the House I basically had to traverse all the objects and its children under the ObservableCollection<road> and then manually remove the objects in the Canvas.
I basically set up something like:
public abstract class HierarchyBase : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private ObservableCollection<HierarchyBase> children = new ObservableCollection<HierarchyBase>();
public ObservableCollection<HierarchyBase> Children
{
get { return children; }
set { children = value; }
}
public string Name { get; set; }
private bool pIsEnabled;
public bool IsEnabled
{
get { return pIsEnabled; }
set { pIsEnabled = value;
StateUpdated();
OnPropertyChanged();
}
}
private bool pIsVisible;
public bool IsVisible
{
get { return pIsVisible; }
set {
pIsVisible = value;
StateUpdated();
OnPropertyChanged();
}
}
private void StateUpdated()
{
if (this is IDrawing)
{
((IDrawing)this).Redraw(IsVisible);
}
foreach (HierarchyBase child in Children)
{
if (!this.IsEnabled || !this.IsVisible)
{
child.IsVisible = false;
}
}
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
private void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName]string caller = "")
{
var handler = PropertyChanged;
if (handler != null)
{
handler(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(caller));
StateUpdated();
}
}
}
But then binding was a big issue, so I thought is somewhat clumsy.

Yes, something like this is what I tried to do, but I found it to be very messy. No binding and I have to resort to storing the connection to a canvas in the code behind. It does work but not really good MVVM?

Not initially no. But as soon as I had the treeview up and running with binding:
<TreeView x:Name="tree">
<TreeView.Resources>
<HierarchicalDataTemplate DataType="{x:Type local:HierarchyBase}" ItemsSource="{Binding Children}" >
<TextBox Text="{Binding Name}"/>
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
</TreeView.Resources>
</TreeView>
This was very neat, but now how to bind the canvas to the code behind? I thought this was very messy.
public abstract class HierarchyBase : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public HierarchyBase()
{
Delete = new RelayCommand( CanDelete, DeleteThis);
children.CollectionChanged +=ItemChildren_CollectionChanged;
}
public Canvas myCanvas;
private HierarchyBase _parent;
private void ItemChildren_CollectionChanged(object sender,NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Action == NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Add)
{
foreach (var item in e.NewItems)
{
((HierarchyBase)item)._parent = this;
((HierarchyBase)item).myCanvas = this.myCanvas;
}
}
if (e.Action == NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Replace)
{
}
if (e.Action == NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Remove)
{
foreach (var item in e.OldItems)
{
((HierarchyBase)item)._parent = null;
((HierarchyBase)item).myCanvas = null;
}
}
if (e.Action == NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Move)
{
}
}
private ObservableCollection<HierarchyBase> children = new ObservableCollection<HierarchyBase>();
public ObservableCollection<HierarchyBase> Children
{
get { return children; }
set { children = value; }
}
public ICommand Delete { get; set; }
private bool CanDelete(object obj)
{
return IsEnabled;
}
private void DeleteThis(object obj)
{
this._parent.Children.Remove(this);
}
public string Name { get; set; }
private bool pIsEnabled = true;
public bool IsEnabled
{
get { return pIsEnabled; }
set { pIsEnabled = value;
OnPropertyChanged();
}
}
private bool pIsVisible = true;
public bool IsVisible
{
get { return pIsVisible; }
set {
pIsVisible = value;
OnPropertyChanged();
}
}
private void StateUpdated()
{
if (this is IDrawing)
{
((IDrawing)this).Redraw(IsVisible);
}
foreach (HierarchyBase child in Children)
{
if (!this.IsEnabled || !this.IsVisible)
{
child.IsVisible = false;
}
}
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
private void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName]string caller = "")
{
var handler = PropertyChanged;
if (handler != null)
{
handler(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(caller));
StateUpdated();
}
}
}
Any ideas on how to bind the canvas to the code behind in XAML? All I came up with was to bind the canvas manually to the first HierarchicalBase item when I loaded the program. I just thought I was messy and ugly.

What we are doing is "shadowing"; we are just going about it in different ways depending on the circumstances.
Your "hierarchyBase" is "view" support code; in particular, Canvas; infrastructure code.
Not sure how your "tree" relates to your earlier "ball"; so I can't visualize or comment on it.
Your architecture is "component based" (versus "view" based); or "views with components"; it should use appropriate patterns.
I would consider integrating with Unity.

I have a data file called Access 2003 Table The question "TABCAUHOI" has the following fields:
ID int;
NOIDUNG memo;
The "NOIDUNG" field has data type as memo, I pour data from excel text file into this table in this access file to check the contents are full as excel file, in C # I query read data into DataTable dt = query 1 message of a content, when debugging Debug.Print (dt.Rows [0] ["NOIDUNG"]. ToString ()); Only get 255 characters in the first string, characters after 255 characters later lost, want to get everything into the DataTable how to do ?
|

Start by checking your data: look directly at the DB content using Access itself and ensure that the data as entered is complete, and longer than 255 characters. Do not assume it is right: check it.
If it isn't, look at the software you used to enter it.
If it is, then use the debugger to look directly at the DataTable as soon as you have filled it, and check exactly what is in there - it should be the same.
If it isn't, check your loading code and make sure you are referring to the same DB file you checked earlier.
If it is, put the value from the DB into a variable and look at it using the debugger:
object o = dt.Rows [0] ["NOIDUNG"];
string s = o.ToString (); Check exactly what you have there.
We can't do that for you!

I checked the data from excel to access is good but from Table Access to DataTable is not good. From Table access to the DataTable get the first 255 characters, the characters after 255 are lost. You note: I have no excel data errors on the table access, I have errors from the Table access into the C # winform DataTable and use the OleDb connection.
I tried the cases below to give the one result:
Debug.Print(dt.Rows[0]["NOIDUNG"].ToString());
Debug.Print(Convert.ToString(dt.Rows[0]["NOIDUNG"]));
object o = dt.Rows[0]["NOIDUNG"];
string s = o.ToString();
Debug.Print(s);

MS Access itself limits the 'char' data type to 255 characters.
To "pour' the data from excel to MS Access you must be using some sort of conversion. If the conversion only allows for 'char' or if you explicitly set it to 'char' then it will only move 255 characters.

He's using a "Memo"; which supposedly holds 64K.

And yet he specifically noted that the actual process was producing only and exactly 255 characters.
I was suggesting that the evidence strongly suggested that the conversion process was not in fact using Memo but Char. So something in the steps, presumably multiple, that comprise the entire process was introducing Char.

You haven't shown any of your "pouring" code.

Hello first time poster, so thanks for any help.
what I'm attempting to do is read a text file that consists of one row of numbers then a space and then a row of names, what I need to do is first read the numbers in the row save them to an int and then read the names and save to string. so i can loop them and compare information.
heres a sameple

Two ways:
1) Use an IndexOf and SubString:
int space = input.IndexOf(' ');
string intPart = input.Substring(0, space);
string strPart = input.Substring(space);
2) Use a regex to separate them:
Match m = Regex.Match(input, @"^(?<int>\d+)\s(?<str>.*)$");
if (m.Success)
{
string intPart = m.Groups["int"].Value;
string strPart = m.Groups["str"].Value;
}
You can then use int.TryParse to convert the number part to an int.

Hi...I really need help for a runtime bug.
I have made a custom panel and custom textbox with some properties and one method.
Both Classes(panel and textbox) have one public method called AddMe, witch will add panel to the splitcontainer on form1 and textbox on panel.
My problem is that, at first it worked just fine, panel was added to the splitcontainer and textbox was added to panel. But after i added a second textbox witch also was gonna be added to panel, then the first textbox wont show anymore, nor the the second textbox. I did´nt make the big change on the code. I try to remove the referrence to the second textbox, but nothing helped.
Hope anyone can help...Best regards...

Hi,
your code is pretty weird. I'll skip many details, and make only a few remarks.
1.
For one, InpbBeskrivelseTxtBox is not a TextBox, it isn't even a Control. Yes, it has a field that holds a TextBox, but that does not turn it into a TextBox.
Therefore
control.Controls.Add(BeskrivelseTextBox); will never succeed, as the AddMe() method expects a Control. So I guess your code won't compile.
What you really want is have class InpbBeskrivelseTxtBox implement a TextBox, a specialized one.
So you should start off with
class InpbBeskrivelseTxtBox : TextBox {...} and remove the TextBox field inside that class; the class itself now is a TextBox, which you can add to a parent Control.
When you do this, InpbBeskrivelseTxtBox automatically inherits all the Properties a TextBox has, so you'll have to organize your initialisation a bit differently, and maybe assign appropriate values in the constructor.
Custom Control: Numeric TextBox: TextBox that alow you to enter only numbers[^] is a short CodeProject article that demonstrates how things could be done. I would suggest you read it.
2.
If you are new to Windows user interface programming, I'd recommend buying and studying a book on the matter, most any C# book should do. Learning from a book may seem a slow process, but trust me it is the fastest way to get acquainted with the proper way of doing things.
3.
Visual Studio offers a choice what to do when compile errors occur; one option is to run the previous version, it once was the default, maybe it still is, I don't know. This is very bad, as it executes an exe that does not match your current source files. Look for the option (probably menu Tools/Options/Projects and Solutions/Build and Run/On Run when errors occur), and make sure it is set to "Do not launch". That will avoid lots of grief, enforcing compilable source code before you can even attempt to run or debug.

Just to add to Luc's excellent and comprehensive answer.
I'd be a little wary of a control method that adds that control instance to a specific form - from a OOPs point of view that is very wrong: a control should not need to know about it's container as that restricts it's usability. Plus there is the fun and games of working out which Form1 instance it is supposed to be attached to...
A Form should add it's Controls, not the other way around.

You could've just passed a reference to the "text box"; instead of duplicating every property.

I want to read the text file on a specific line and perform a task according to the information.
example: I have a string with the value ON, in case the program will read the text file online, if you have the information ON on line 4 performs a task, if OFF accomplishes another task can anyone help me?
|
|
|
|
|
With what part of this? What do you mean by "online"?
|
|
|
|
|
Text files don't have "lines" - they are just a stream of characters, where a specific character (or pair of characters, it's OS dependant) are interpreted by some functions as an "End of Line" character.
As such, the only ways to find "line 4" are to:
1) Read the whole text into a string and scan it for '\n' characters yourself.
2) Use the ReadLine methods provided with text streams to skip lines 1 to 3.
3) Read the whole text into an array of strings using the File.ReadAllLines method, and access each line via the array index.
But ... You are talking about "online" so it gets more complex: you can only read the file if you have access to it, and that means pretty much only on the computer that the software is running on. For C# in a website, that means the server not the client - C# does not run on the client at all, and server code has no direct access to client files.
You may have to bear this in mind when you design your system, as it will probably work in development (where the client and the server are the same physical computer) but fail spectacularly in production.
