1. Lecture 11: Generics

2. The Generic List loading data from a file using System.IO; : namespace EmpListDemo { static class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { string fname = "empstable.txt"; string txtline; List Emps = new List (); // a generic list of Employee List Emps2 = new List (); // we will make a copy of Emps // reading employee data from a text file TextReader tr = new StreamReader(fname); do { txtline = tr.ReadLine(); if (txtline == "xxx") break; string[] field = txtline.Split(','); Emps.Add(new Employee(field[0].Trim(),field[1].Trim(), Convert.ToInt32(field[2]), Convert.ToInt32(field[3]), Convert.ToDouble(field[4]))); } while (true); tr.Close(); :

4. // we are making a copy of Emps called Emps2 foreach (Employee emp in Emps) { Employee emp2 = new Employee(); emp2 = emp; Emps2.Add(emp2); } // so why not just assign one list to the other? // Emps2 = Emps; // // because this would not make a separate copy but // rather point both Emps2 and Emps to the same records! Making a Copy of a List

5. // we "tag" each record that passes our criteria foreach (Employee emp in Emps2) { if (emp.Age > 39 & emp.YrsEmp >= 10) emp.Tag = true; } // now we remove all records from Emps2 that HAVE NOT // been "tagged" i.e. remove those with emp.Tag = false // this construct is implemented using a delegate Emps2.RemoveAll(delegate(Employee emp) { return !emp.Tag; }); The RemoveAll Delegate Method age>39 and yrsemp >= 10 Wade Boggs 45 20 12.5 Amanda Rekonwith 55 25 22.5 Wade Boggs 45 20 12.5 Robin Banks 32 13 9.5 Jerry Mander 27 6 8.1 Amanda Rekonwith 55 25 22.5 Doug Wells 38 10 25.05 Anita Break 23 2 7.5 Juan Abrew 48 7 32.2 Ben Dover 37 9 24.15 Ilene Dover 28 1 22.9

6. // this is a LINQ query! var queryresults = from q in Emps where q.LastName.StartsWith("B") select q; // so what's in queryresults??? // let's take a look Console.WriteLine(); foreach (var q in queryresults) { Console.WriteLine(q.FirstName + " " + q.LastName); } Working with LINQ Wade Boggs Robin Banks Anita Break Wade Boggs 45 20 12.5 Robin Banks 32 13 9.5 Jerry Mander 27 6 8.1 Amanda Rekonwith 55 25 22.5 Doug Wells 38 10 25.05 Anita Break 23 2 7.5 Juan Abrew 48 7 32.2 Ben Dover 37 9 24.15 Ilene Dover 28 1 22.9

7. // let's try another example // notice we don't redefine the var queryresults queryresults = from q in Emps where q.Age>30 select q; // now what's in queryresults??? Console.WriteLine(); foreach (var q in queryresults) { Console.WriteLine(q.FirstName + " " + q.LastName); } Console.ReadKey(); Another LINQ Query Example Wade Boggs Robin Banks Amanda Rekonwith Doug Wells Juan Abrew Ben Dover Wade Boggs 45 20 12.5 Robin Banks 32 13 9.5 Jerry Mander 27 6 8.1 Amanda Rekonwith 55 25 22.5 Doug Wells 38 10 25.05 Anita Break 23 2 7.5 Juan Abrew 48 7 32.2 Ben Dover 37 9 24.15 Ilene Dover 28 1 22.9

12. Dealing with Data cut & paste

13. Pasting into Word or PPT Preserves Cells

14. Pasting to a Text Editor Creates Separators e.g. Tabs
