How to Create and Use of Iterators, yield: CSharp Programming

Programmer often use some type of iterators that are used to iterate steps in the programming language. An iterator often use yield keyword to return individual element, this is possible only if it have the current location in the cache.

C# Programming uses these iterators to execute some steps continuously like returning a value continuously from a method. Following program is creating an iterator in c# language.

public Form()
{
InitializeComponent();
foreach (int number in SomeNumbers())
{
string str = number.ToString() + " ";
}
}
public static System.Collections.IEnumerable SomeNumbers()
{
yield return 1;
yield return 2;
yield return 3;
}

Yield keyword keeps the current position of the currently executing statement, so that the iteration can be performed.

Here Foreach keyword is used for looping statements in c# programming language, but it is also used as iterators. Each time when the SomeNumbers() method is called in this loop, the yield keyword will return the specified number and will back to the current position.

That is why the resulting string in str variable will be "1 2 3". There may be many ways to creating iterators like:

Using Collection Class: As the well-known class collection is used to automatically called GetEnumerator method which returns IEnumerable type of data. The same process can be easily implemented using this collection class.

Using Generic List: As GetEnumerator method returns an array of specified elements. Generic method is inherited from IEnumerable interface. Using this method iterators can easily be implemented as in above program.

How to Delete Multiple Records from DataGridView in Winforms: C#

To remove multiple records from the DataGridView, programmer need to write some line of code, code may be written in a button's click event that is outside of the DataGridView. The article shows about how to select multiple records of DataGridView and the c# code to remove them with a single mouse click.

When a programmer have to remove a single record entry from the DataGridView, then a command button can be added as discussed. Removing a single record can be performed by the index of the record. Through the index programmer can easily get all the unique values about the record which helps to perform the action.


To remove multiple records, follow the steps written below:

• Drag-n-Drop DataGridView on the form and set its MultiSelect property to True.
• Create a list of records (Student Class) and bind this DataGridView with that list.
• Create a button outside of this DataGridView and generate its click event.
• Write following C# code in the click event of button to remove multiple records:

private void removeButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DataContext dc = new DataContext();
foreach (var item in dataGridView1.Rows)
{
DataGridViewRow dr = item as DataGridViewRow;
if (dr.Selected)
{
string name = dr.Cells["Name"].Value.ToString();
var student = dc.Student.FirstOrDefault(a => a.Name.Equals(name));
if (student != null)
{
dc.Student.Remove(student);
}
}              
}
dataGridView1.DataSource = null;
dataGridView1.DataSource = dc.Student;
}

• Run the form and select some of the records as in the image:

• Click on the remove button and all these selected records will be deleted. A single record remain safe shown in the image:

So all these simple steps are used to delete multiple as well as single record from the DataGridView. Programmer can also use a confirmation message for the surety of the deletion by the user. To do that, just place all the above code in between the below c# code:

if (MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to remove all these records?", "Confirm", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question).ToString() == "Yes")
{
//above code
}

When the programmer will click on the button then a confirmation message will be shown. After clicking on the "Yes" button, all the selected records will be deleted otherwise none of them.

Computer Programming : Nullable types, Null coalescing operator in c# Programming

In Computer Programming, C# Data types are divided into two broad categories such as Value types and Reference type. In Value types, some inbuilt types such as int, float, double, structs, enum etc. These all are non-nullable types, it means these types don't hold null value. In other hand Reference types such as string, Interface, Class, delegates, arrays etc. can hold null value.

By default value types are non nullable. To make them nullable use, programmer have to use ?

• int a=0   a is non nullable, so a cannot be set to null, a=null will generate compiler error
• int ?b=0  b is nullable int, so b=null is legal

Operator Need

If programmer want to assign null value to non-nullable data types then there are some operators explained with an example. 

Lets take an simple example

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            int a;
            int? b = 100;
            a = b ?? 0;
            System.Console.WriteLine(a);
            Console.ReadKey();

        }
    }
}

Output show that if b hold some value like 100 then Null coalescing operator assign value to variable (a). If b hold null value then Null coalescing operator assign default value, which is zero to variable a. 

Replace the declaration of variable b with the following line:

            int? b = Null;

This will outputs zero (default value).

Computer Programming: Operators in c# console application

Introduction

It is a symbol, which is performed operation on operands, operation can be mathematical or logical. In c#, operators are categories in three basic parts first one is unary operator and second one is binary operator and last one is ternary operator. In unary operator we use single operand like.
++a // here a is a "operand"
In Binary operator we use two operand. Like
a+b;
In ternary operator we use three operand like
a>b?a:b

Assignment Operator (=)

if we create a variable of type integer also we want to initialize it with some value then we should use assignment operator like.

int a=10;

Here, variable a is initialized with value 10. It means you can say the right hand side value is copy to left hand side variable using assignment operator.

Arithmetic Operators ( +,-,*,/,%)

Basically arithmetic operators are used for doing mathematical calculation like addition of two or more numbers , multiplication, division, subtraction, and remainder. lets take a simple example to understand arithmetic operators. If the total collection by five students is five thousand then find the average value?.

int collected_money=5000;

int total_student =5;

int avg=collected_money/total_student;

Ternary operator (?, : )

In ternary operator we have three operands, in which first operand is used for check the condition and other two operands is used for giving results. Let’s take a simple example to understand the ternary operator.

Int firstnumber=10;
Bool result;
Result = firstnumber>10? True: false;

In the preceding example, if condition becomes true or you can say if firstnumber is greater than to 10 then ternary operator gives  ‘true’ in results otherwise gives ‘false’.

 

Comparison Operators (< , > ,<=,>=,!=,==)

using comparison operator you can perform Boolean operation between operands known as comparison operator. Lets take an simple to understand comparison operator

 

 class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            int a = 10;
            if (a==10)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(string.Format("The value of variable ={0}", a));
  
            }
            Console .ReadKey (false);
        }
    }
 

Here, condition if check equality operation between operands, a and constant value 10. If condition becomes true, output comes "The value of variable=10".


 

  

  Logical operator (&&,|| )

Perform logical operation between Boolean operands known as logical operator. Lets take a simple example

 

  class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            bool a = true;
            bool b = true;

            if (a&&b)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("condition becomes true");
  
            }
            Console .ReadKey (false);
        }
    }

 

Change textbox value according to Combo Box in c# programming: WinForms

In our previous post we have learnt perform binding Combo Box and Listbox, now it’s time to get access their values and use them to bind another controls in winforms. I am binding a combo box with an employee list and them access data in textbox in c# programming.

For example we have a c# class Employee having following properties:

public class Employee
{
        public int No { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
}

Create an object of type List of employee (in our Form1.cs file) that will be used to in binding of combo Box

List<Employee> empList = new List<Employee>();

To bind with combo Box this list should have some set of items, so we will add some employees with use of following code in our Form1's constructor:

empList.Add(new Employee() { No = 111, Name = "Venkatesh" });
empList.Add(new Employee() { No = 222, Name = "Muthu Kumaran" });
empList.Add(new Employee() { No = 333, Name = "Murli Prasad" });
empList.Add(new Employee() { No = 444, Name = "Ghosh Babu" });
empList.Add(new Employee() { No = 555, Name = "Jacob Martin" });

Now using following two lines of code we will bind our comboBox with this above list of item

comboBox1.DataSource = empList;

comboBox1.DisplayMember = "No";

When Form1 will run, combo Box will have above list of items and textbox will be empty. To display related value of employee name we have to write these two lines of code with combo Box binding:

Employee selectedEmployee = comboBox1.SelectedItem as Employee;

textBox1.Text = selectedEmployee.Name;

Now our article’s main aim is to binding a textbox with combo Box selected value, so there is an Event of combo Box i.e. comboBox_SelectionChanged event. So I will repeat the most recent two lines of code in this event as written below:

private void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

     Employee selectedEmployee = comboBox1.SelectedItem as Employee;

     textBox1.Text = selectedEmployee.Name;

}

Check your windows form application, when you change the selected item of combo Box it will also change the related name of Employee in textbox’s text property.
