c# - winform - how to avoid repetitive task

Question

In vba I had the "call" procedure, i.e. - execute some stored procedures, to avoid repeating the same line of code menu times.

Whati is the way to do it in c# - winform?

I should populate my datagridview from multiple buttonsClickEvents. And i want to call the same lines of code - stored somewhere.

Answer 1

You can create a function and achieve this

function void SomeMethod()
{
// Code goes here
}

//Now you can call it as
SomeMethod();

Hi Bonaca,

you can create Procedure like FillDataGridView() as below

private void FillDataGridView()
{
// DataGridView Fill Code goes here;
}
private void btnModify_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    FillDataGridView();
}

I now tried to put all that code on separate file - CodeFile1.cs.

And I get the error:

"Expected class, delegate, enum, interface, or struct"

I supose sam linking of that file with my form is needed.

What is the way, pls?

Answer 5

I suspect that you didn't actually create a class in that new file. You can't have a method without it being in a class. Post the code you tried to use ...

Answer 6

At a guess you just need to copy the class declaration from the Form1 file i.e. make it a partial class in the new file. You will of course need to add a closing brace at end of file.

Answer 7

Yes, a class declaration was missing. ThankYou.

I just moved myself from vba to c#.

My far goal is to make an application for alarm security agency.

Some buildings (sometimes over 1000 objects) have alarm sensors and if they are activated, alarm signal travels (by phone or by IP) to the call centar, where operaters have some application to deal with that alarm signals. That application - that's it - of my interrest. Possibly - i would have a client for such application.

I ask myself - maybe some template exists? Or tutorial, book...whatever i could use. Google search gives very poor help.
