Carriage return

[Jlaz]

I am new to C# and I am writing a small Windows app that consists of a Label
and Button. I've written code that displays the following in the Label:

---- ----
2004 $1,200.00
2005 $1,260.00
2006 $1,323.00
2007 $1,389.15
2008 $1,458.61
2009 $1,531.54
2010 $1,608.12
2011 $1,688.53
2012 $1,772.96
2013 $1,861.61
2014 $1,954.69

I need it to display the heading as well without having to create a second
label to produce the "Year Rent":

Year Rent
---- ----
2004 $1,200.00
2005 $1,260.00
2006 $1,323.00
2007 $1,389.15
2008 $1,458.61
2009 $1,531.54
2010 $1,608.12
2011 $1,688.53
2012 $1,772.96
2013 $1,861.61
2014 $1,954.69


My Code is the following:
private void btnExecute_Clic k(object sender, System.EventArg s e)

{

int iYear = 2004, iFinalYear = 2014;

decimal mRent = 1200, mIncrease = 5.0m;


label1.Text = "Year Rent\r\n";

label1.Text = "---- ----\n";

while (iYear <= iFinalYear)

{

label1.Text += iYear + " " + mRent.ToString( "C") + "\n";

mRent *= (1 + mIncrease / 100);

mRent = Decimal.Round(m Rent, 2);

iYear++;

}

}

Question1: How do I get the heading to show?

Question2: How can I display this same info in a Grid?

Thanx

Re: Carriage return

Hi,

1. Your header doesn't show because in the line:

label1.Text = "---- ----\n";

you erase the previous value you assigned to label1.Text. The correct code
is:

label1.Text += "---- ----\n"; // '+' was missing

2. Showing data in the grid takes a little more, check this doc:

Re: Carriage return

Hi Jlaz,

In addition to Octavio's answer, you should use \r\n for line breaks, not just \n. Some controls won't recognize \n as a line break.

Re: Carriage return

Hi,
I enjoyed the link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315786/EN-US/. But I am
unable to understand the fundamentals behind it. How can class members are
automatically get displayed in Data Grid. I have also observed that only
those values get displayed, for which there exist get.

Thanks

Why not use a ListView?

Re: Carriage return

Hi Chakravarti,

Any object 'property' is shown. This means you can create objects or structs out of each line of your list

This code create a list of CostItem objects and stores it in an ArrayList.
The ArrayList is then bound to a DataGridView (Framework 2.0).
The DataGridView will detect the properties Rent and Year in the objects inside the ArrayList and will create necessary columns and headers.

The m behind the rent indicates that the number should be treated as decimal.

private void Form1_Load(obje ct sender, EventArgs e)
{
ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
list.Add(new CostItem(2004, 1200m));
list.Add(new CostItem(2005, 1260m));
list.Add(new CostItem(2004, 1323m));
list.Add(new CostItem(2004, 1389.15m));

dataGridView1.D ataSource = list;
}


class CostItem
{
int iYear;
decimal dRent;

public int Year
{
get
{
return iYear;
}
}

public string Rent
{
get
{
// output the rent as currency
return dRent.ToString( "c");
}
}

// Constructor
public CostItem(int y, decimal r)
{
iYear = y;
dRent = r;
}
}

Thanx guys,

Your answers worked for me. I'm making the switch from VB to C# any
recomendations?

Re: Carriage return

Question 1 is the easier to answer :
[color=blue]
> label1.Text = "---- ----\n";[/color]
You forgot to use '+=' instead of '='

(I just suggest to make use of the 'System.Text.St ringBuilder' class in
order to deal with text concatenation.. .)


To Question 2:
The are many ways to achieve this.
Have a look, for example, at the ListView.

Hope this helps...

Michel.
