its the extra '}' before or after //Response.Redirect("./default.aspx");

Please don't post questions in all caps, its considered 'shouting' and not very polite. I have re-written your question in appropriate case and also formatted it a little better so as to be more readable

is this your homework?

doh! my bad, blame it on caffeine deficiency.

Thanks for the catch, and the formatting

I modified your snippet to not use the reserved word 'class' as the instance name. I know it's just example code but the syntax highlighting made it a little confusing to read. hope you don't mind :)

A believe there is a construct in Java that, superficially, appears to be similar to the .Net nested class construct but is tied to an instance of the outer class rather than the type definition. This can cause some confusion for Java developers that don't fully understand whats going on 'under the hood' trying to apply the same concepts to a .Net language. Not sure if this is the case here but i have heard of it catching people out.

I would also add that requirements analysis is equally as important a skill for a developer as coding ability, therefore even though you don't appear to be asking for code here you are still 'gimping' yourself by trying to get someone else to figure this out for you. If your tutor is acting as your client in this assignment i suggest you sit down with them and define their requirements

wow, that first screenshot literally sent shivers down my spine!

sorry, that's not very constructive. how about this:

- does your user really need to edit 16 subscriber's data simultaneously? if not, consider revising the data entry screen to a single subscribers details along with a list/tree of records and some add/remove buttons. when a subscriber is selected in the list populate the controls with their data. This way you get a lot better use of your screen real-estate

- from what i gather of your requirements, each of those tiny textboxes is supposed to hold a mobile phone number. simply put, the data doesn't fit in your UI. In the UK at least, such numbers are 9 digits long, your textboxes will hold about 3

personally i would go for a treeview with the following structure in a left-aligned splitter panel defaulting to about 15-20% screen width with the remaining space used for controls that are contextual to treeview selection

person
-subscriber
--number
--number
-subscriber
--number
--number
person
-subscriber
--number
--number
-subscriber
--number
--number

in such a system each node type would set up different controls in the main part of the screen:

person - name, hex value and source entry
subscriber - number entry (a list of numbers with add/remove buttons and a single number entry textbox populated dependent on number selected in the list)
number - not selectable, this is purely for user reference and could be omitted due to the list shown when the subscriber is selected. It all depends on how often your user will need to simply view the data rather than edit it

I think you'd find such a UI easier to maintain and more intuitive to use :)

yes thats true. But there were 2 existing solutions almost identical to yours before you added yours. To be honest, just one of these 3 solutions would suffice and the other 2 are redundant, myself and Mehdi posted at almost exactly the same time so that duplication was unfortunate. The third repition was avoidable ;p but, as i said, i like the addition of the converter link :D

sadly the my office blocks access to dropbox so i cant see the screenies. I'll take a look when i get home

have a 5 for the converter link, though you were beaten to the solution by a good half hour ;p

yup .. dead on, 5 from me too (did it earlier in fact :))

I formatted your XML for you to make it a bit easier to read. Whilst i was doing so i noticed a few issues with it with regards to being 'well-formed'. This is most likely a side effect of the CP editor but if this XML is derived from real data and you get parse errors on that take a look at your subscriber2 close tags and the spelling of 'two' :)

yes, from what you describe, the 2nd solution is what you need.

It might be more clear if i write the pseudocode of what it does anf you can see how that tallies with your requirements:

1. determine lower range of interval from user supplied reference (diffminus)
2. determine upper range of interval from user supplied reference (diffplus)
3. set flag to indicate we havent found a match yet
4. loop through the unfiltered list doing
a. check if the value is inside the range (diffminus to diffplus)
b. if it is check to see if we have found a match before
c. if we havent, adjust the range limits (diffminus and diffplus) according to the unfiltered number we are currently looking at
d. if we found a match add it to the filtered list
5. output the contents of the filtered list

Or if you only want to adjust the interval on the first match:

List<double> filtered = new List<double>();
double difminus = reference - factor;
double difplus = reference + factor;
bool firstMatchFound = false;

foreach (var t in unfilterednumbers)
{

if (t >= difminus && t <= difplus)
{
if(!firstMatchFound)
{
difminus = t - factor;
difplus = t + factor;
}

firstMatchFound = true;

filtered.Add(t);
}
}

string s = "";
foreach (var st in filtered)
{
s += st.ToString() + "\n";
}

MessageBox.Show(s);

List<double> filtered = new List<double>();
double difminus = reference - factor;
double difplus = reference + factor;

foreach (var t in unfilterednumbers)
{

if (t >= difminus && t <= difplus)
{
difminus = t - factor;
difplus = t + factor;
filtered.Add(t);
}
}

string s = "";
foreach (var st in filtered)
{
s += st.ToString() + "\n";
}

MessageBox.Show(s);

can you provide a sample string where the match is not occurring?

(count/totalcount)*100 is mathematically synonymous with (count * 100) / totalcount

I'm putting this in a comment as i don't think it will fix your stated problem but will probably bite you in the future, regardless:

1. Unless your minWidth, minHeight, MaxWidth and maxHeight values are of the form: initial value + n*16 then your if conditions will never resolve to true.

e.g. if your initial height is 10 and your maximum height is 40 the first increase will put your height to 26, the second to 42. At this point you have exceeded your maximum but your condition (height == 40) has not resolved to true (i suggest a >= on maxmiums and <= on minimums)

2. your first and second If statements are (or should be) mutually exclusive and can therefore be simplified to an 'if..else if' statement

Have you made any attempt yourself so far? if so, where did you get stuck? post up your work so far and we can give you some guidance on it.

as it stands its not clear whether your question is regarding how to create a flow chart, how to compute a factorial or how to use a loop construct

no worries, i'll upvote it now its fixed

I think you might need to elaborate on your question. The above code will generate a dictionary of derived values keyed by point location. If that is not what you need then please explain, clearly, what it is you are after.

I'm not sure i understand your comment. The above code is the C# equivalent of the MATLAB code in the link provided by the OP. It compiles and, to the best of my knowledge, does what the MATLAB code does.

The above code will not perform the behaviour you state. Instead it will return true for values of either "1" or "0" and false for everything else.

I believe what you were trying to achieve here was along the lines of

static bool ConvertToBoolean(string dataToParse)
{
return string.IsNullOrEmpty(dataToParse) ? false : dataToParse == "1";
}

to whoever voted 1: if you post a comment as to why you think badly of this solution i would be happy to amend it in order that any future readers of this question might be better served.

haha, you beat me to that one :) have 5

Haha, essentially the same olution posted at exactly the same time :D ... have a 5

You describe your data model and your expected output but i cant see anywhere the code you are using to generate your XML output from your data model. As this is the bit of code that is not behaving as expected you will probably need to include it before anyone is able to help you

you would not believe how many times that one has caught me out :)

You are going to need to be a lot more specific here.
- what columns does your grid need?
- Where does the data come from?

Have you attempted the problem yourself? if so, what have you done and what problems did you encounter?

I think it would be best if you did the following:

- Do some research into generics (plenty of tutorials out there on the web) to make sure you understand what they are, why they are used, what limitations they have etc
- Talk to your mentor to clarify what exactly he wants you to do, it would appear you yourself are unsure of this and until YOU understand what you need to do we wont be able to either :)

Once thats done, have another go at it yourself and if there is a particular area on which you are having trouble submit a more concise question with regard to that. The large volume of code posted and the nature of the question being 'rewrite my code please' are off-putting to any would-be helpers.

please clarify what you want the new method signature to achieve.

your code line 1 seems fairly straight forward and i would expect such a method to apply tooltip text specified in the first argument (in your example the specified "" would clear the tooltip text) tot he control specified int he second argument.

your required method signature (code line 2) would have me seriously scratching my head as to what it actually DID as it takes 2 string arguments and no control argument, which string is the tooltip text and WHERE is the tooltip being shown?

griff is correct in that you should reconsider code design so as to not explicitly call event handlers. (the assumption here is that by function you mean the event handler method and not an instance of Func<t>)

EventArgs.Empty does exist, however : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.eventargs.empty.aspx

that is the c# code :D . The comboBox control (here 'combobox' is the instance name of your combo box control) exposes a property called selected index, when that index is set it finds the entry within the combobox at that index (position) and selectes it. (positions start at 0 by the way).

When your application goes to display your form it first 'constructs' it, at which point the forms constructor method is called, and then displays it, at which point the load event is fired which executes the code in the load event handler. Therefore placing the above code in either of those 2 locations will cause the item within the combobox at the index (position) defined as n (in other words replace 'n' with a number) to be selected.

If you wish to only select an entry in the combobox when it has exactly 1 entry i its list of items you want:

if(combobox.Items.Count == 1)
{
combobox.SelectedIndex = 0;
}

which will select the first item if it is the only item

You should post some sample code in either an article or tips & tricks forum. Others would be interested to see how this can be done

Relectors such as those suggested below are very useful, but remember a lot of 3rd-party DLL licenses prohibit decompiling of the DLLs (and especially re-use of the revealed source code)

OR ... having re-read your symptoms:

the Zaber.Settings1.Default.nameX property getters are all returning the underlying field of Zaber.Settings1.Default.name6 (copy and paste error)

if that were the case, changing any other other property fields would appear to have no effect as the value returned for each would be the name6 value (i assume it has the same default as the other properties and therefore would give the appearance of no change), but changing name6 would mean that every nameX property returned the new value for name6

At what point have you verified Conversation.Device.DeviceNumber? was it at the point at which it is referred to within the switch statement? if it is correct at that point then stepping through the code line by line should confirm that the correct case is being entered (i can see no way in which that would not be the case).

Assuming that the above has been done then it is likely that either:

- something else is setting the Zaber.Settings1.Default.nameX properties
- This code is being unexpectedly run again (probably multiple times) and is setting the properties to the values you are seeing
- Zaber, Zaber.Settings1 or Zaber.Settings1.Default is being recreated and you are seeing the default (post instantiation) values
- your Zaber.Settings1.Default.nameX properties (I hope they are properties and not public fields) have incorrect setter code that is not actually setting their underlying field

are you perhaps after the instance name of the form instances?

if this is the case then take a look at Application.OpenForms

this will find a form by instance name, whereas Prerak's solution will find it by type name. I'm unsure what the OP requires.
