• emcee help with date formatting...

  Hi, Currently the below text box prints the date 12/13/2006. But it should be MM/DD/YYYY. Could some one please show me how to change the formatting. Thanks. TextBox txtArrival = (TextBox) (e.Item.FindControl("txtArrivalDateAdd")); if(txtArrival != null) arrival = Convert.ToDateTime(txtArrival.Text); Hi, The static methods you need to use are: DateTime.Parse or DateTime.ParseExact. Here is the documentation on converting strings to dateTime values with links to examples can be found here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2h3syy57.aspx (or type DateTime.Parse, highlight it and hit F1.)

• bbaldwinwa Refactor - Encapsulate field

  When I use refactor - encapsulate field I get the preparing files dialog and then it scans all the files in the project. It never used to do this and it now takes so long that there is no point in using encapsulate field as it is quicker to type it. On colleagues pc it works immediately without the scan, we are on the same spec pc. Have I changed a config setting somewhere Any help would be appreciated. TIA Thanks for the reply. Yes, I'm using ASP.Net. I'm currently using the file system (internal VS web server) web projects, if that makes any difference. cheers Are you both using ASP.NET I have a hazy recollection that there's an issue with this refactoring in this context and that there was a workaround. ...Show All

• Billr17 dateTimePicker = DateTime.Now & "Time"

  Whats the most efficient way to : Fire an event on a certain Day, Date and Time... Im using a dateTimePicker...for the day, date. Time is in comboboxes, start and end. ("1 AM") Just started...formatting is getting crazy...there must be an easier way. Set the Format property to Long and use Value to read DateTime type of selected date. Also posible is to use MaskedTextBox control. date time picker is to determine which day and which time just a UI for the user, but what fire the event is the code that you will write the best thing for that i guess is using timer hope this helps One thing you'll probably want to keep in mind when using a timer to check if the date/time equals the select ...Show All

• ASI Tech How to have multiple sets of application settings?

  Hi, I'm using the standard mechanism to set and retrieve application settings (using app.config, Settings.settings and Settings.Designer.cs). I can set the application settings using the Visual Studio IDE and retrieve them like this: string title = Properties. Settings .Default.WindowTitle; This works fine - for a single set of settings. But now I'd like to run multiple instances of my application, pass them an argument that makes them unique (1, 2, 3, or "master", "slave"), and use that argument to access a specific set of settings. Preferable something like: string title = Properties. Settings .Master.WindowTitle; or string title = Properties. Settings["Master"] .WindowTitle; Is thi ...Show All

• Darrin Turner Parametersized property!?

  I am *very* surprised at the fact that C# does not support parameterized property! The only thing I get is the so-called Indexer, but that does not provide the same functionality as parameterized property. For example, I can write the following code in VB: Public Class test Property Name(ByVal key As String) As String Get Return key End Get Set(ByVal value As String) End Set End Property Property Address(ByVal key As String) As String Get Return key End Get Set(ByVal value As String) End Set End Property End Class The two properties both have a String parameter and both return a String object. However, in C# I can only write only *ONE* indexer: public ...Show All

• simsod One project to rule them all

  I have a solution with 2 projects (each project builds a DLL). I want to create a 3rd project that takes all the settings and code from the first 2 projects and create one mongo DLL. What's the simplest way to achieve this Thanks! -- Smeagol Shared project What is that What I don't understand/know is how I can have a single solution, which houses 3 projects Foo.dll, Goo.dll, and Mongo.dll (made from Foo & Goo projects). I don't want to have a separate project that I must maintain the settings for. For example, if I add a new pre-processor definition to the Foo project, I would like Mongo to auto-magically receive that setting change. Does that make sense Is this possible ...Show All

• lym51 Converting '00' hex character into '20' hex.

  Hi, I am having difficulty handling a byte array that contains the hex equivalent of '00'. .Net seem to treat this as an escape character when I use the byte array converted to a string. I would like to replace the special character with a space ('20') but I cannot seem how to do this. Mainly because '00' does not have a string equivalent. Any ideas Thanks. If it is in a byte array then you can enumerate the array and replace all '00' values with '20' values. for (int nIdx = 0; nIdx < arr.Length; ++nIdx) { if (arr[nIdx] == 0) arr[nIdx] = 0x20; } You could get fancy and use the Array.ForEach method as well. static class ArrayEx { public static void Replace<T> ( T ...Show All
