How can I sort 4 seperate string arrays (with the same lenght), according to one of them in alphabetical order? (in C#)

I have read out per WMI the installed programs on a remote PC. I have read the Program Name, Program Publisher, Program Install.date and Program install.path properties and stored each of them in a separate string array. (All arrays with same length: 99)
I want to list the program informations according to the alphabetical order of Program name.
Is it possible to do that without combining the 4 arrays in one multidimensional array?
Or should I first combine the arrays to one two dimensional array ?
If yes how?
As I am new in C# I would thank you if you would make a suggestion. I have read lots of entries but I got more confused.
public string[] Programs_WMI_name = new string[99];
public string[] Programs_WMI_publisher = new string[99];
public string[] Programs_WMI_installdate = new string[99];
public string[] Programs_WMI_installlocation = new string[99];
I have tried this but get error:
In my public Class
public class TagService{
public string Programs_WMI_Name { get; set; }
public string Programs_WMI_Publisher { get; set; }
public string Programs_WMI_Installdate { get; set; }
public string Programs_WMI_Installlocation { get; set; }
public List<string> programs = new List<string>(99);
}
then
for (int i = 0; i < TagService.Programs_WMI_name.Length; i++)
{
programs.Add(new TagService
{
Programs_WMI_Name = TagService.Programs_WMI_name[i],
Programs_WMI_Publisher = TagService.Programs_WMI_publisher[i],
Programs_WMI_Installdate = TagService.Programs_WMI_installdate[i],
Programs_WMI_Installlocation = TagService.Programs_WMI_installlocation[i],
});
}
programs = programs.OrderBy(p => p.Programs_WMI_Name).ToList();

Do yourself and others a favor and use classes
public class ProgramInfo
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Publisher { get; set; }
public string InstallDate { get; set; }
public string InstallLocation { get; set; }
}
from arrays
var programs = new List<ProgramInfo>(Programs_WMI_name.Length);
for (int i = 0; i < Programs_WMI_name.Length; i++)
{
programs.Add(new ProgramInfo
{
Name = Programs_WMI_name[i],
Publisher = Programs_WMI_publisher[i],
InstallDate = Programs_WMI_installdate[i],
InstallLocation = Programs_WMI_installlocation[i],
});
}
better yet fill from query directly
var programs = new List<ProgramInfo>();
foreach (var row in new ManagementObjectSearcher(somequery).Get())
{
programs.Add(new ProgramInfo
{
Name = row["name"],
Publisher = row["publisher"],
InstallDate = row["installdate"],
InstallLocation = row["installlocation"],
});
}
complete example could look like this
using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace Test
{
public class ProgramInfo
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Publisher { get; set; }
public string InstallDate { get; set; }
public string InstallLocation { get; set; }
}
public class TagService
{
public static List<ProgramInfo> Programs { get; } = new List<ProgramInfo>();
public static void RefreshPrograms()
{
Programs.Clear();
foreach (var row in new ManagementObjectSearcher(somequery).Get())
{
programs.Add(new ProgramInfo
{
Name = row["name"],
Publisher = row["publisher"],
InstallDate = row["installdate"],
InstallLocation = row["installlocation"],
});
}
Programs.Sort((l, r) => string.Compare(l.Name, r.Name));
}
}
public Program
{
public static void Main()
{
TagService.ReadPrograms();
var properties = typeof(ProgramInfo).GetProperties();
Console.WriteLine(string.Join("|", properties.Select(p => p.Name.PaddRight(10))));
foreach (var program in TagService.Programs)
{
Console.WriteLine(string.Join("|", properties.Select(p => ((string)p.GetValue(program)).PaddRight(10))));
}
}
}
}

How to loop API pages and compare values for changing markers on map using xamarin.forms.maps iOS C#

I want to check each page values from the API and against the values to change the color of the map marker.
This is my API: http://194.141.118.43:3001/?id=0 where id is from 0 to 16
I want:
if from ?id=0 AL = 1 the marker should be green
if from ?id=0 AL = 2 the marker should be yellow
if from ?id=0 AL = 3 the marker should be orange
if from ?id=0 AL = 4 the marker should be red
So I want to check for all 17 stations (from ?id=0 to ?id=16)
I am currently checking the property Alertlevelwebsite in this method with this API: http://194.141.118.43:3001/stations, But now I have to check all the values from this address for each pin and I have to put a color for the largest value for each pin.
http://194.141.118.43:3001/?id=0 (from 0 to 16)
I use this example from xamarin.forms.maps - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/samples/xamarin/xamarin-forms-samples/workingwithmaps/ and in CustomMapRenderer class I try to change the colors in this method:
protected override MKAnnotationView GetViewForAnnotation(MKMapView mapView, IMKAnnotation annotation)
{
MKAnnotationView annotationView = null;
if (annotation is MKUserLocation)
return null;
var customPin = GetCustomPin(annotation as MKPointAnnotation);
//Get Value
c_annotation = annotation;
if (customPin == null)
{
throw new Exception("Custom pin not found");
}
annotationView = mapView.DequeueReusableAnnotation(customPin.Name);
if (annotationView == null)
{
annotationView = new CustomMKAnnotationView(annotation, customPin.Name);
annotationView.CalloutOffset = new CGPoint(0, 0);
((CustomMKAnnotationView)annotationView).Name = customPin.Name;
((CustomMKAnnotationView)annotationView).Url = customPin.Url;
((CustomMKAnnotationView)annotationView).Address = customPin.Address;
//Add First Line
((CustomMKAnnotationView)annotationView).AlertLevel = customPin.AlertLevel;
if (customPin.AlertLevel == 1)
{
annotationView.Image = UIImage.FromFile("green.png");
}
else if (customPin.AlertLevel == 2)
{
annotationView.Image = UIImage.FromFile("yellow.png");
}
else if (customPin.AlertLevel == 3)
{
annotationView.Image = UIImage.FromFile("orange.png");
}
else if (customPin.AlertLevel == 4)
{
annotationView.Image = UIImage.FromFile("red.png");
}
//Add Second Line
((CustomMKAnnotationView)annotationView).CodeNum = customPin.CodeNum;
((CustomMKAnnotationView)annotationView).MapCode = customPin.MapCode;
//Here I add the RequestUri for stations
string GenerateRequestUriStations(string endpoint)
{
string requestUri = endpoint;
requestUri += $"stations";
return requestUri;
}
//Here I need the loop from 0 to 16 every page and change the pin icons like above if statement
string GenerateRequestUri(string endpoint)
{
string requestUri = endpoint;
requestUri += $"?id=0";
return requestUri;
}
//This is the value who I need to compare result.WaterData.Ardaforecast but does not allow me to write result.WaterData.Ardaforecast and does not allow me to foreach here .. I don't know why ?
var reusult = _restServiceData.GetWaterDataForecast(GenerateRequestUriStations(Constants.EndPoint), GenerateRequestUri(Constants.EndPoint));
}
annotationView.CanShowCallout = true;
configureDetailView(annotationView);
return annotationView;
}
In the comments above the code I mean that when I write:
var reusult = _restServiceData.GetWaterDataForecast(GenerateRequestUriStations(Constants.EndPoint), GenerateRequestUri(Constants.EndPoint));
foreach (var item in IAsyncResult)
{
}
When I try to write result. automatic puts me IAsyncResult.. I don't know why.. ?
Can I get an example of how to loop all the pages and change colors on the markers ?
My GetDataFromAPI look like this:
public IEnumerable<AlertLevel> GetDataFromAPI(int mapCode)
{
var listAlert = new List<AlertLevel>();
var reusult = _restServiceData.GetWaterDataForecast(GenerateRequestUriStations(Constants.EndPoint), GenerateRequestUri(Constants.EndPoint, mapCode));
foreach (var item in reusult.WaterData.Ardaforecast[0].Items)
{

{
dateForecast = item.DateTimeForecast,
levelForecast = item.AlertLevelForecast
};
listAlert.Add(currentData);
}
return listAlert;

How to retrieve the data from two tables in Sqlite in windows phone 8.1

I created two registration forms
1.User Registration
2.Company Registration (In one database)
I created a sign In page. How to retrieve the particular user from the tables.
class UserReg
{
[AutoIncrement, PrimaryKey]
public int UserID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string UserName { get; set; }
public string UserPassword { get; set; }
public string Gender { get; set; }
public string State { get; set; }
}
The above code is for user registration table
class FuelReg
{
[AutoIncrement,PrimaryKey]
public int FuelID { get; set; }
public string FuelName { get; set; }
public string FuelPassword { get; set; }
public string CompanyName { get; set; }
public string CompanyAddress { get; set; }
}
The above code is for company registration.
Now the user and company should login with the same login page. How to implement this.
I tried some code but I cannot compare the particular user. My main problem is if the user and company provides similar user and password that would be a failure. So how to change it. (No validations given in the project)
private async void Button_Click_1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var dbpath = ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.Path + "/Map.db";
var con = new SQLiteAsyncConnection(dbpath);
try
{
UserReg t = new UserReg();
string query = string.Format("select UserName,UserPassword,Gender,State,Name from UserReg where UserName='{0}' and UserPassword='{1}'", text_user.Text, text_pass.Password);
List<UserReg> mylist = await con.QueryAsync<UserReg>(query);
if (mylist.Count == 1)
{
t = mylist[0];
}
if (t.UserName == text_user.Text && t.UserPassword == text_pass.Password && t.Gender!=null && t.Name!=null && t.State!=null)
{
this.Frame.Navigate(typeof(MainPage));
}
else
{
FuelReg f = new FuelReg();
string query1 = string.Format("select FuelName,FuelPassword,CompanyName,CompanyAddress from FuelReg where FuelName='{0}' and FuelPassword='{1}'", text_user.Text, text_pass.Password);
List<FuelReg> mylist1 = await con.QueryAsync<FuelReg>(query1);
if (mylist1.Count == 1)
{
f = mylist1[0];
}
if (f.FuelName == text_user.Text && f.FuelPassword == text_pass.Password && f.CompanyName!=null && f.CompanyAddress!=null)
{
this.Frame.Navigate(typeof(NewPage));
}
}
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
var msd = new MessageDialog("" + ex).ShowAsync();
}
}
So how to fetch the exact data when the user inputs in the SignIn page from the two tables

Object not set to instance error with class invocation

I set up three models. I'm not sure if I did it the best way, but it's the way I could understand it easily. I invoke the DepartmentProfile class. The first user found is not a manager so it goes into the else statement and successfully fills in the AD_UserProfile and adds it to the DepartmentProfile class.
The second user is the department manager so it goes into the if statement and errors out on the very first line with object not set to instance of object. What am I missing? Did I not set up the models correctly?
When it errors out
public class AD_UserProfile
{
public string distinguishedName { get; set; }
public string email { get; set; }
public string manager { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public string userPrincipalName { get; set; } // Useful if we need to allow a user to 'log on' as a different user.
public string userName { get; set; }
}
public class AD_ManagerProfile
{
public string distinguishedName { get; set; }
public string email { get; set; }
public string manager { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public string userPrincipalName { get; set; } // Useful if we need to allow a user to 'log on' as a different user.
public string userName { get; set; }
}
public class AD_DepartmentProfile
{
public AD_DepartmentProfile()
{
this.AD_UserProfile = new HashSet<AD_UserProfile>();
}
public string name { get; set; }
public virtual AD_ManagerProfile AD_ManagerProfile { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<AD_UserProfile> AD_UserProfile { get; set; }
}
Here is the invocation of the classes:
public void GetDepartmentInfo(string department, string owner = "jeremy")
{
DirectoryEntry de = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://server.server.com");
DirectorySearcher ds = new DirectorySearcher(de);
ds.Filter = ("(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=User)(department=" + department + "))");
ds.SearchScope = SearchScope.Subtree;
AD_DepartmentProfile dp = new AD_DepartmentProfile();
dp.name = department; // assign department name
foreach (SearchResult temp in ds.FindAll())
{
if (owner == temp.Properties["sAMAccountName"][0].ToString())
{
//Current user is manager of department
dp.AD_ManagerProfile.distinguishedName = temp.Properties["distinguishedName"][0].ToString(); // This line errors out with instance not set to object error.
dp.AD_ManagerProfile.email = temp.Properties["mail"][0].ToString();
dp.AD_ManagerProfile.manager = temp.Properties["manager"][0].ToString();
dp.AD_ManagerProfile.name = temp.Properties["name"][0].ToString();
dp.AD_ManagerProfile.userPrincipalName = temp.Properties["userPrincipalName"][0].ToString();
dp.AD_ManagerProfile.userName = temp.Properties["sAMAccountName"][0].ToString();
}
else
{
//Current user is in department and does not manage it
AD_UserProfile p = new AD_UserProfile();
p.distinguishedName = temp.Properties["distinguishedName"][0].ToString();
p.email = temp.Properties["mail"][0].ToString();
p.manager = temp.Properties["manager"][0].ToString();
p.name = temp.Properties["name"][0].ToString();
p.userPrincipalName = temp.Properties["userPrincipalName"][0].ToString();
p.userName = temp.Properties["sAMAccountName"][0].ToString();
dp.AD_UserProfile.Add(p);
}
}
}

I don't see anywhere that you're initializing dp.AD_ManagerProfile, so it is likely null. You could either give it a value in GetDepartmentInfo or in the constructor.
if (owner == temp.Properties["sAMAccountName"][0].ToString())
{
//Current user is manager of department
dp.AD_ManagerProfile = new AD_ManagerProfile();
dp.AD_ManagerProfile.distinguishedName = temp.Properties["distinguishedName"][0].ToString(); // This line errors out with instance not set to object error.
or
public AD_DepartmentProfile()
{
this.AD_UserProfile = new HashSet<AD_UserProfile>();
this.AD_ManagerProfile = new AD_ManagerProfile();
}

What I am trying to do is create an audit trail which records the object I am working on (in this case an asset) and I am serializing the class and inserting it into the database for use in reporting, etc.
My question is; is this the way to do it. Is there a better way?
