Anyone knows the C# Equivalent

Hello,

I am trying to convert a program from Microsoft VB.NET team:

http://blogs.msdn.com/vbteam/archive/2005/04/14/TableAdaptersAndObjects.aspx

I am having a hard time converting the following two sections.  Anyone knows
the C# equivalent?


- oringial VB.NET code from VB Team:
Public Sub AcceptChanges()

    For Each item As T In Me.Items

        item.ObjectState = ObjectState.Unchanged

    Next

    DeletedRows.Clear()

End Sub

- my approach:
      public void AcceptChanges()
        {
            foreach (T item in this.Items)
            {
                item.ObjectState = ObjectState.Unchanged;
            }
            DeletedRows.Clear();
        }
- Visusal Studio error: 'T' does not contain a definition for 'ObjectState'

2.  Original code from VB team:

Dim txScope As New System.Transactions.TransactionScope

    Using txScope
    ...
    end using

- my approach:

    using txScope
    {
        ...
    }
- Visual Studio:

Syntax error, '(' expected

Best regards,

Alan L.

What is your definition for "T"?  I am assuming this article is using
it as a generic object, meaning you need to create it and what it is
supposed to be; in this case, give it a property of "ObjectState".
Read the article to figure out what the expectations of the object are
(namely, what it is supposed to be based on).

This is an issue of scope.  The proper syntax is:

using (txScope)
{
   ....
}

Lucas,

Thanks for your suggestions.  The using syntax works fine now.

However, I have tried several method to define the following VB.NET
equivalence without any luck.

VB.NET

Public MustInherit Class BaseList(Of T As BaseObject) Inherits BindingList(Of
T)

C# - tried

public abstract class BaseList<T as BaseObject> : BindingList<T>
public abstract class BaseList<T:BaseObject> : BindingList<T>

I just want to the generic T to inherit properties defined in BaseObject.

Cheers,

Alan L.

C# is case sensetive while VB is not. Have you checked the exact name,
so it isn't for example "objectState"?

Hi Goran,

Thanks.  The using syntax works, but I still have problem converting the
definition
for the generic T.  I

public abstract class BaseList<T of BaseObject> : BindingList<T>

-  I want the generic key argument inherits properties defined in BaseObject.

Originaal VB.NET syntax is:

Public MustInherit Class BaseList(Of T As BaseObject) Inherits BindingList(Of
T)

Cheers,

Alan L.

If you have a base class for all objects that the class handles, then
you don't need to use generics at all in your class. Just use the base
class when you inherit the BindingList.

public abstract class BaseList : BindingList<BaseObject>

Now your BaseList is a BindingList that handles any object that inherits
from BaseObject.

In your method that loops the items, just reference them as BaseObject:

public void AcceptChanges() {
    foreach (BaseObject item in this.Items) {
       item.ObjectState = ObjectState.Unchanged;
    }
    DeletedRows.Clear();
}

Hi Goran

The BaseObject will be inherited by other classes.  And I am defining an
extension to the
BindingList<T>.

I solved the problem by using the where keyworkd suggested by Barry and Mehdi.


Thanks for your feedback.

Alan L.

Hi,

The first equivalent:
Well, you are trying to use a class (T) that is supposed to have an
ObjectState property. However, this should be explicitly declared
using the "where" keyword in C#. You need to change the class
definition to something as follows:

public class MyClass<T> where T: BizObjBase

this tells the compiler that T is of type BizObjBase...

The second equivalent:
using (TransactionScope txScope = new TransactionScope())
{
  //do whatever you need with txScope
}

HTH,
Mehdi

Google instant C#, this application will translate your VB code into C#. It
is very good.
