You've stated what you want. No one here is going to code it for you unless you're willing to pay.

If you are a programmer, then start working on it and ask questions in the forums [^] as needed.

Just telling us what you want won't get you too far here.

Your entire response was rude & uncalled for. What's the point of having forums if you can't post questions without someone like you flaming the guy. He said he Googled it and didn't find what he's looking for, so he posted here, where he hoped to find someone who could help him with his problem.

Instead hey gets YOU, who, instead of helping him either narrow his search or provide an answer, you choose to insult him.

You said to him "In either case - you call yourself a 'developer'. No - you want to be a developer. You've a ways to go." So because he's not as bright as you he's not a developer?

You're one of the smarter folks here on CP and you've helped me more than a few times, but if you don't have an answer, then don't reply. And certainly don't flame the poor guy who's just trying to do his job.

WinForms or WPF?

I suggest you take a look at SignalR. https://www.asp.net/signalr.. It autoamtically uses different methods, including Web Sockets, but it nicely wraps up all the work for you. And you can send any kind of message you want. And, to add to that, it's REALLY simple to set up & use.

I didn't post a reply to get points, so voting me 1, 3 or 5 makes no difference to me. Voting for something like this is just plain silly. And oh, don't forget to scroll down and vote down Griff for posting in the solution.

You have me confuses with someone who cares

Look at StreamWriter

It's looping through all the controls on the container represented by the 'this' keyword and subscribing their 'Click' events to something called 'ClickCounter'

So what's your question?

Have a look at SignalR. It's not WCF, and it's much easier to implement.

See this https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/signalr/overview/getting-started/tutorial-server-broadcast-with-signalr

Well let me say that insulting people here isn't going to get you very far. Griff is a respected member here and talking down to him just got you on a lot of $hit lists.

Good luck getting help now.

No problem. Good luck

There are some situations where you may need to do this..

1) Singleton Pattern. See this http://csharpindepth.com/Articles/General/Singleton.aspx

2) A Hierarchical Data structure. Think of a TreeView.

Google both of these for more info.

A Constructor is a method with no return type that has the save name as the class. It's used to initialize the class. See this https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/7011/An-Intro-to-Constructors-in-C

"Public" is the Access Modifier.

"Node" is a reference to the class you're in. That means this class will have a reference to itself called 'next'.

"next" is a class level variable that you use to reference the class instance of the Node object.

Unless you want a lot of spam you should not post your email in the clear on sites like this. I suggest editing your post and removing it.

Sounds like you need to save the scrolled position, then restore it. Take a look at this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7326656/adding-a-scroll-event-to-datagrid

1) Do you have your own logging in place to see where's it failing?

2) if you think that the DB isn't ready, can you put in some pausing/testing to ensure that it is?

3) What DB are you using?

First, tell us some more about your environment. Windows 7/8/10? What version of .Net? What version of SQL? Windows/WPF/Web?

Second, how would the user load the next 100 records? Each time it drops down you get the next 100?

Third, look into Paging - getting x number of records per request. Basically you would need to store the starting record number, then per each call increment that by 100. There are complications when consider ordering. Take a look at this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/109232/what-is-the-best-way-to-paginate-results-in-sql-server

Finally, you might want to reconsider your approach here. A dropdown isn't really designed for 40K records.

By the way, is this WinForms or WPF?

Try CTRL-A, which is the standard Windows shortcut for Select All, but it wouldnt surprise me if it either didn't work or it was really slow.

Don't know what STRG-A means.. The problem here is that you're loading way too many items. The list isn't designed for this. You need to rethink your design. As I said before, consider paging.

Have you tried using a Grid instead of a ListView?

The problem is that you're loading WAY too many items. Try loading 100 at a time. Handle the Scrolled event to load the next 100.

You posted way too much code here, and it's not formatted. Can you post just the part that's failing?

Your SQL statement(s) are probably incorrect. Paste them into SSMS and see what happens.

Look here. There's a template:

WPF isn't going anywhere. I hear that all the time an I don't know where people get their info. See this: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2014/11/12/the-roadmap-for-wpf/

Maybe you should go back and re-read his post. His question was clear and he adequately defined the problem and purpose of his app. Nothing you stated in your answer is true.

"You did not inform us what is the existing application, Forms, WPF, or anything else" - He said WinForms

"So, there is no the alternatives you mention" - He provided his two alteratives - WinForms or WPF.

"If you don't have a working version of the component used before"
He has a working, unfinished WinForms version.

"did not reference that DotNetBar" - What does that mean??

Maybe take some more time reading the questions before you answer.

"so far but it isn't working."

WHAT isn't working? Did you get an error? If so, what is the error? You have not provided enough info to help anyone here assist you. Go back and edit your question and include more details.

What interests you?

What happens when you run it?

See this:

http://highoncoding.com/Articles/29_Creating_Datagrid_columns_programmatically.aspx

Have you seen this? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1979016/how-to-call-method-from-running-windows-service

What do you mean when you say "Its not working"? Do you get an error? What happens when you try it?

What are you doing with the file after it loads? Can you load only part of the file?

Could you not send the image as a message in SignalR, then open it on the client machine?

For WPF take a look at the MVVM pattern. While not a framework, you'll find the better WPF frameworks all incorporate it, so understanding MVVM is probably a requirement.

As far as which framework, that probably depends on your needs. Here's a comparison chart to get you going:

https://catelproject.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CTL/MVVM+framework+comparison+sheet

No Problem. Glad I could help.

Since you're new here... no one here is going to do your homework for you. What have you tried? Is there a particular problem you're having?

I agree that the quality of the questions posted here are somewhat lacking. But...

After being around here for 11 years I can tell you..

1) ... that you can't assure me anything about the OP, since you know nothing about him (unless you're him in disguise :)
2) ... I found his question clear and concise. As soon as I read it two possible solutions came to mind. Bill posted one right away. If two of us got it, it was clear.

the only thing I'm assuming is that the OP doesn't have a clue what they're doing unless they prove otherwise in their question.

Really? I know many fine, qualified, experienced devs who have posted short, to the point questions here with little detail outside of the direct question. Some folks just aren't great communicators.

Just because someone doesn't write paragraph after paragraph explain all the in's and out's of their app and their reasoning doesn't mean they're clueless.

Sounds like you may want to rethink what you are doing.

You most certainly did.

You're arrogance is astounding. I'm done with you.

What?? Where did you come up with THAT?? Who's writing malicious software?? Where did you come up with that??

The Great, All Knowing, All Powerful Sergey has decided the OP is up to no good.

What a completely ridiculous response.

I'm done with you. Like I told Ryan, you go on playing internet police.

If you don't have an answer to the question, the don't respond!!

in this case you are just plain wrong. LOL - So now you've decided both the OP AND me are wrong?? More arrogance.

WHY the OP asked is not important and totally irrelevant since the solution is clear. Bill and F-ES Sitecore both provided answers without grilling the OP as to his motives.

So, no, I'm not wrong.

I'll walk away... you stay and keep playing internet police. Watch the OP closely... he's probably up to no good.

In most case, if someone want to do that, then he probably don't understand what he is doing. There are almost no valid reason to do that even for an installation program.

You just made a lot of assumptions with no facts to back it up. Who are you to say what's 'valid' and what isn't? You know nothing about the OP and you decided 'he doesn't know what he's doing' - really??


Thus, it is a very legitimate question to ask why. Another reason, is that when we do not approve something because 99% of the reason to do it are evil, then even if we knew it, we absolutly don't want to help OP to do its malicious purpose

Again, you're making assumptions not based on any real fact. I've written code that shuts apps down. What if he's writing an installer that requires Office be closed?

Again, asking Why isn't necessesary unless he asks you to validate his requirements.

What an entirely stupid response. Who are you to tell him what he should do? There are very valid reasons for closing Office from your app. Just because he didn't tell you why doesn't invalidate his reasons.

That was a ridiculous response. I don't need to learn from you. Suggesting that I do is just arrogance since you know nothing about me.

His question was clear, and I don't see any reason to ask him Why. I don't need learn from you so then you also will be able to ask right questions' - stupid answer.

The OP already knows WHY he needs to close the apps, he just doesn't know HOW. Him telling you WHY isn't going get him the solution he needs. Why if you didn't like his reason? Are you going to tell him not to do it, or 'rethink what you are doing' like Ryan did. Who are you two to decide what he should or should not do.

I can think of a few good reasons to close other apps, and I've had requirements to do so in the past, and I can easily think of ways to do so. If I were looking for sample code to do this, I certainly wouldn't want to sit here and explain to you why.

If you don't have a answer to the question, then don't answer at all.

I'm no sure what you're trying to say, but Why is irrelevant. His question was How To - not Do You Think I Should.

You're making some huge assumptions. See my response to Bill above

The first thing at I thought when I read his question was - "He's probably writing some kind of installer". His request was reasonable. He DIDN'T ask anyone to validate his requirements.

The responses from SA and Ryan sound a lot like StackOverflow responses. CP is much more collaborative and saying "WHY?!" looks like SA is thinking - 'whatever could you possibly need to do that for???"

For Ryan to say "Sounds like you may want to rethink what you are doing' is just plain arrogant - considering he knows NOTHING about the OP or his requirements.

These responses came across almost flame-like.

As I said to SA - What does it matter why? He didn't ask what you thought of it - he asked how to tell of office apps are are open.

"Sounds like you may want to rethink what you are doing." - pretty arrogant to say considering you know nothing about his app or the requirements.

What does it matter 'why?' His app needs to know - that's why

What is the exception message you're getting? On what line?

Try setting smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false

See this:

He DID basic research. He posted his question here

Simple. Create a class that holds the checkbox values, then pass that class to the other form

Are you asking how to get the values from the checkboxes in one form into another form?

Well there's your problem. You're using a path to a file that doesn't exist.

So is the file actually there?

I understand what you're asking. What I don't understand is the problem. If Path.GetFullPath(path) is returning the wrong path, then WHAT path is being returned? What does File.Exist(path) return?

Ok. You said it isn't pointing you to the file, so the file's not there? Why is it incorrect?

What I asking is.. If Path.GetFullPath(path)
doesn't give you the actual path, then what IS being returned? A relative path? I ask because Path.GetFullPath should return the absolute path.

What path is Path.GetFullPath(path) returning?

What is the value of authorIDLabel? Did you try running the command directly in DB?

Check to see how many times you're subscribed to the CellContentClick event.

Take a look at SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS)

You have not provided enough information. So far we can only guess what you're after and what's wrong. Can you post more code and show us where the offending code is?

What do you mean "its treating it like empty field"? Also, since you're using WPF you should look into MVVM and Data Binding

That's nice. Now do you have a question?

What do you mean by print? To a printer? Then create a report. To the UI? Then use a grid control. There is not enough substance in your question to provide an answer.

Way to answer without answering!

I think that kid of design sounds good in principal, but in reality it's a maintenance nightmare. Just a single property name change results in more work than it's worth.

Here's another possibility... I typically create a separate project called Entities, and then reference that in all other projects. Then you can use them all over and not need any mapping. Each property can call INotifyPropertyChanged and be based off _EnityBase if needed.

AutoMapper

There's not enough information here to help you. What is a 3D wood log? What have you tried? Are there specific problems you need help with? Is there any code related to issues your having that you can post? Remember, we're not in front of your computer and can't see what you're looking at and we can't read your mind.

Please, for the love of all things proper - use meaningful variable names

The command looks funny. It appears you're trying to do a join. Are you sure it works? Have you tried it in SQLiteManager?

Have you tried doing any research on your own? Or do you expect the members here to do your homework for you?

It's Visual Studio.. Not Studios

And you haven't provided enough information to help you. What installer are you using?

Are you using WinForms, WPF, Web?

FilesystemWatcher?

Are you using the Checkcombobox from the Extended Toolkit?

Take a look at this
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/484616/MVVM-Diagram-Designer

You can be sure of that. And I speak for everyone else here too. Good luck with your assignment.

No one here is going to do your homework. It's clear that you've done no research, not made any attempt at trying, and are only interested in someone doing the work for you.

Try figuring it out yourself, put together some code, then ask questions about your code when you get stuck.

Directory.getFiles loads an array with the names of any files that are in the directory. See this:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/07wt70x2(v=vs.110).aspx

if(File.Exists(someFileName))
{
// The file is there
}

Any hidden files in there? What is the name of the file is says is there? Does File.Exist() show it there?

It looks like your radio buttons isChecked are all bound to the same property. If so, then checking one will cause all the others to be checked. Also, check your GroupName. Put a breakpoint in your converter and see what values are passed in and what is returned. If you can check more than one, then the group name is probably not what you think it is

Good luck with that. You'll get no help here when you post an assignment with no attempt at solving it yourself. You've posted no code, no logic, no attempt at fixing/solving your problem.

Now, for $75/hr US I'd be happy to write your app.... That's what we at CP do - WE WORK FOR A LIVING. If you ever hope to do the same as a coder, then learn.

Why not just embed a PPT in your WPF app?

Are you using WinForms or WPF?

Take a look at

http://www.simple-talk.com/dotnet/.net-framework/designing-a-data-access-layer-in-linq-to-sql/

and

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa581776.aspx

Create a data access class. This class should handle all access to & from your database. In my case I'm using Linq-to-sql. The getDataContext returns an instance of the data context for my app.

Thanks!

Yes

At one point I was using Linq To SQL in my DL. I was able to do this

CustomerModel retVal = (from c in context.tblCustomers where c.CustomerId == CustomerId select new CustomerModel { CustomerId = c.CustomerId, CustomerName = c.CustomerName, InvoiceHeader = getInvoicesForCustomer(c.CustomerId) }).FirstOrDefault();

Now with EF I can't do it.

There HAS to be a way to do this!!

Maybe not. I'm trying to load a hierarchal list of model objects from the data.

That's an interesting idea, but it doesn't give you back a collection of models.

I read this & thought, "umm, whaa?"

I don't even know what you just said.

I DON'T SPEAK TEXT SPEAK. I SPEAK ENGLISH. YOU WON'T GEY ANY MORE REPLIES FROM ME UNTIL YOU USE ENGLISH.

Why don't we ask the CP to just redirect to Google? Why bother going to CP at all?
