If you create a custom control with an expandable property (i.e. it has a "+" in the properties window which expands to show you the individual subfields - similar to the Size property of most controls), how do you control the display order of these sub fields?
I have got the control working, with an expandable property containing minWidth, initialWidth and maxWidth, but in the designer they always display in aphabetical order: initialWidth, maxWidth, minWidth. I know it is possible (Size displays as Width first, then Height) - but google is being unhelpful as to how!

Hello,
In your ExpandableObjectConverter you have to override the GetProperties method, like this:
public override PropertyDescriptorCollection GetProperties(ITypeDescriptorContext context, object value, Attribute[] attributes)
{
return TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(typeof(YourClass), attributes).Sort(new string[] { "FirstProperty", "SecondProperty", "..." });
}
Hope it helps!
All the best,
Martin

Hi,
I'm working on an application, in which, if the left mouse button is down, and user tries, I'm assigning a new delegate for Mouse wheel event, which does nothing. after completing the execution of new delegate the old delegate is triggered.
Can anyone explain this to me.
Thank you,
Pavan

Do you mean something like this?
MouseWheel += new MouseEventHandler(Form1_MouseWheel);
This just means, that you also want to be notified if this event occurs.
Your event handler was just added to a list of delegates from controls which also
want to be notified.
With += you just add and with -= you just remove your delegate from the delegate list.
Greetings

Your scroll handler could simply determine whether or not the left button is down and act accordingly.

Hi, I have XML in the following structure:
<Rooms>
<Room>
<RoomRQId>1</RoomRQId>
<Quantity>1</Quantity>
<NumAdults>3</NumAdults>
</Room>
<Room>
<RoomRQId>2</RoomRQId>
<Quantity>1</Quantity>
<NumAdults>2</NumAdults>
</Room>
</Rooms>
And each time, I get the values assigned as the first occurence of room. Running in debug mode, I can see the second node called within the For each loop, but the values are still assigned as the second occurence. Code below:
XmlNodeList nodeRooms = xmlDoc.SelectNodes("/test:HotelAvail/test:Rooms/test:Room", ns);
foreach (XmlNode objRNode in nodeRooms)
{
intRoomRQId = int.Parse(objRNode["RoomRQId"].InnerText);
strQuantity = objRNode["Quantity"].InnerText;
intNumAdults = int.Parse(objRNode["NumAdults"].InnerText);
}
So IntRoomRQID is set as 1 twice, when it should create a node of 1, and then a node of value 2.

The poblem is this bit of code:

{
intRoomRQId = int.Parse(objRNode["RoomRQId"].InnerText);
strQuantity = objRNode["Quantity"].InnerText;
intNumAdults = int.Parse(objRNode["NumAdults"].InnerText);
}
It will set the 3 variables (intRoomRQId, strQuantity intNumAdults), move to the next node then, before you have done anything with them, re-set with the values from the next node. The code posted will always end up with the variables set to the value of the last node.
To fix this you either need to do whatever it is you need to do with the variables in the loop, or create an object to store the three variables, and maintain a List of these which can be iterated over later.
As a side note intRoomRQId, strQuantity and intNumAdults are poorly named, you shouldn't include the type in the variable identifier in C#, and fully named is better. This will improve the readability of your code. I suggest roomRequestId (or whatever RQ means), quantityand numberOfAdults

Hi, this is merely a snippet. The variables are used within the loop, (but I didn't include all that). In debug, each variable is set to the first node value, and then when it loops through again, it sets it again to the first node value. Therefore it is looping the correct number of times, the problem seems to be in identifying the xpath to then set the variable to each occurence.
|
|
|
|

Can you post fuller code?
Also is the code being called the correct number of times (ie twice) even if the code is only setting from one node?
[Edit]
I ran this scratch code:
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.LoadXml("<HotelAvail><Rooms><Room><RoomRQId>1</RoomRQId><Quantity>1</Quantity><NumAdults>3</NumAdults></Room><Room><RoomRQId>2</RoomRQId><Quantity>1</Quantity><NumAdults>2</NumAdults></Room></Rooms></HotelAvail>");
XmlNodeList nodeRooms = xmlDoc.SelectNodes("HotelAvail/Rooms/Room");
foreach (XmlNode objRNode in nodeRooms)
{
Console.Write(objRNode["RoomRQId"].InnerText);
Console.Write("\t");
Console.Write(objRNode["Quantity"].InnerText);
Console.Write("\t");
Console.WriteLine(objRNode["NumAdults"].InnerText);
}
Console.ReadKey();
This code outputs as expected:
1 1 3
2 1 2
So it is something else inside the loop causing the problem

The entire project is huge and references several classes, so it's impossible to include the whole code, below is a more concise example of what is occuring. Basically for every occurence of the "Room" node, I populate a datatable with the variables, and then write an output. It loops through my for each loop twice, but sets the variables each time to the first occurence only. And therefore I get two nodes output, which are both derived from the first datatable created, and the first set of room child nodes in the xml document. The rest of this project is working 100% perfectly, but this is the only area where I need to loop through a list of nodes, as all other nodes occur once.
XmlNodeList nodeRooms = xmlDoc.SelectNodes("/test:HotelAvail/test:Rooms/test:Room", ns);
foreach (XmlNode objRNode in nodeRooms)
{
intRoomRQId = int.Parse(objRNode["RoomRQId"].InnerText);
strQuantity = objRNode["Quantity"].InnerText;
intNumAdults = int.Parse(objRNode["NumAdults"].InnerText);
DataTable dt = objAvailability.SelectHotelAvail(intRoomRQId, strQuantity, intNumAdults);
if (dt.Rows.Count >0)
{
objWriter.WriteStartElement("Room");
objWriter.WriteStartElement("RoomRQId");
objWriter.WriteString(intRoomRQId.ToString());
objWriter.WriteEndElement(); //RoomRQID
..... other items from datatable are written here
}
}
|
|
|
|

Seems to me intRoomRQId is updating as it should, and the bug is inside SelectHotelAvail(), returning the same row over and over for unknown reasons.

I edited my last post with some scratch code based on yours, it is iterating through correctly. The things that are different (on mine) are:
1. I don't have any namespaces.
2. I had to modify the XML you posted to have a root <HotelAvail> element
The code you have posted just looks like it should work OK to me. A few things to check:
a. I assume you've done this alread, but put a breakpoint at the start of the foreach loop and inspected the nodeRooms list manually, and checked the objNode object at each iteration.
b. I assume intRoomRQId, strQuantity, intNumAdults value types (string, int etc) otherwise there is a danger objAvailability.SelectHotelAvail(intRoomRQId, strQuantity, intNumAdults); will change them.
c. Do you have more than one Rooms node?
Also, how can you tell that only the first set of values are being used (e.g. from, the database table, by breakpoint), related to this, what is objWriter? It is possible that the writer is not wroking correctly.

Here is a complete XML snapshot:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8">;
<HotelAvail xmlns="http://www.transhotel.com/transHotel/2004A"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.transhotel.com/transHotel/2004A HotelAvailRQ.xsd">
<WholesalerID>TRANSHOTEL</WholesalerID>
<Hotels>
<HotelCode>1154718</HotelCode>
</Hotels>
<Dates>
<CheckIn>2010-01-21</CheckIn>
<CheckOut>2010-01-22</CheckOut>
</Dates>
<Rooms>
<Room>
<RoomRQId>1</RoomRQId>
<Quantity>1</Quantity>
<NumAdults>3</NumAdults>
</Room>
<Room>
<RoomRQId>2</RoomRQId>
<Quantity>1</Quantity>
<NumAdults>2</NumAdults>
</Room>
</Rooms>
</HotelAvail>
If I run in debug mode, on the first pass through ForEach it says that the innertext will be 113 (for the whole occurrence of that node), on the second pass it says that the innertext will be 212 (which is correct). So the problem has got to be how the variables are set from the referenced nodes. For some reason it is selecting the 1st occurence of each element within Room even though it is running within a loop. I know this can be a problem with say SelectSingleNode, but I'm not using that. So therefore objRNode["RoomRQId"].InnerText is not iterative, and is always picking the 1st occurence with the document.
A namespace is used and referenced as follows:
XmlNamespaceManager ns = new XmlNamespaceManager(xmlDoc.NameTable);
ns.AddNamespace("test", "http://www.transhotel.com/transHotel/2004A");
There is only one "Rooms" node, so that is selected explicitly so as to ensure no confusion. Objwriter is an XMLTextWriter which is merely writing the output.

OK, so we've eliminated two possibilities: The xmlDoc.SelectNodes is selecting the node correctly and the loop is iterating over the nodes correctly.

Correct xmlnode["NodeName"].InnerText is not iterative, however you are the source xmlnode(in your case objRNode) is the result of an interation. So you will get the objRNode["RoomRQId"].InnerText will get the InnerText of the current objRNode's RoomRQId correctly. Both the code I posted earlier shows that to be the case and Luc Pattyn has tested it.
jamesc69 wrote: So therefore objRNode["RoomRQId"].InnerText is not iterative, and is always picking the 1st occurence with the document.
Not necessarily (see above). It is possible that, as Luc said, SelectHotelAvail() is fouling up somehow. It is possible that the output code is not working as expected, or that somehow the value is being set in another place (e.g. later in the code, concurrency problems). Without full source code this is hard to find.
The line intRoomRQId = int.Parse(objRNode["RoomRQId"].InnerText); should get the correct Id. I'd use a breakpoint to ensure that correct ID is being set by that line, then step through to see if it changes.

No, you misunderstood. I did not test anything, it just seemed from code+observations that the bug was probably inside the method of which no code was shown at all.

Hi,
First of all thanks all for your help, but this apparently isn't a coding problem, but actually a problem with my Vis Studio. My Vis Studio was not building a new dll each time and therefore any change I was making was having no effect. I created a new solution, added all the existing files into the new solution, and guess what - it now works!
Apologies for wasting everyone's time.

Glad you got it sorted!

Is there a reason you're not using linq-to-xml? It's much simpler (types from memory, so you may need to tweak it a bit)...
XDocument doc = XDocument.Load("myfile.xml");
XElement root = doc.Element["Rooms"];
foreach (XElement element in root.Elements)
{
int roomID = Convert.ToInt32(element.Element["RoomRQID"].Value);
int quantity = Convert.ToInt32(element.Element["Quantity"].Value);
int numAdults = Convert.ToInt32(element.Element["NumAdults"].Value);
}
No messing around with InnerText and that kind of crap.

I have a regular DataGridView and RowHeadersVisible is set to true. How do I get the location and size of the cell in the upper leftmost corner (the one to the left of the headings)?
|

DataGridView[0,0].value!!!!

Thanks, but I figured it out finally:
DataGridView.GetCellDisplayRectangle(-1, -1, true)
