How To Load Array Values Into Listbox & ComboBox In C#

Last 3 days I have been working on a Library Management System, it's for my college actually it's a group project, but i promised my group members that I will code and design the whole system, by the way i really had lots of problems because this would be my first time doing with a database, also I didn't know how a Library Management System works because I have never been to a Library. Hopefully I am almost done, I am going to meet my group members and ask them to make the Documentation.

Loading Array values into a ComboBox, I had to do it in my Library Management System, I will wrote the same code that I used in my Library Management System.
First we need to create a private Const int(const is a special kind of variable....), a private String Array and set value to them.

private const int Total = 13;
        private String[] genre = new String[Total];

Now coming to the function, we'll create a Function called LoadBookGenres(), and set set values to the arrays, adding to the listbox or combobox, by the way you can still go straightly without creating a new Function like you can set the values for the arrays, and load(sort) the array values to the listbox or the combobox in an event(ex:Form_Load).

private void LoadBookGenres()
        {
            //Assign value into Array
            genre[0] = "Adventure";
            genre[1] = "Animals";
            genre[2] = "Computers & Internet";
            genre[3] = "Biography";
            genre[4] = "Comics";
            genre[5] = "Horror";
            genre[6] = "Sports";
            genre[7] = "Romance";
            genre[8] = "Historical";
            genre[9] = "Music";
            genre[10] = "Religion";
            genre[11] = "Mystery";
            genre[12] = "Other";

            //Sort array and fill listbox with the sorted array
            Array.Sort(genre);
            for (int i = 0; i < genre.Length; i++)
            {
                listBox1.Items.Add(genre[i]);
            }
        }

NOTE : Change ListBox1 to your listbox name or your combobox name.
 Remember we set the public const int to 13, always in computer science you should count from 0 and upwards.
Now we just need to call the Function from an event, I called it from Form_load

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            LoadBookGenres();
        }

Here is a picture of this in ListBox.


Here is a picture of this in ComboBox.
 
I hope this has helped you in someway, Thanks for reading.

Syntax Highlighter For Blogger

I have been using Alex Gorbatchev Syntax Highlighter for a long while now . someone requested me to write an article about using this syntax highlighter in blogger so here i go .

Select a theme for the syntax highlighter , those links have previews of the theme.

• Default - shThemeDefault.css
• Django - shThemeDjango.css
• Eclipse - shThemeEclipse.css
• Emacs - shThemeEmacs.css
• Fade To Gray - shThemeFadeToGray.css
• Midnight - shThemeMidnight.css
• RDark - shThemeRDark.css

Now add these codes under your head in your html .

After adding those codes now it's time to set your theme to the syntax highlighter , in the third line of code that i gave before . this parameter is what i meant

now after styles/ add the theme style , you can see the theme style right after the theme preview link . for example i have selected shThemeRDark.css then my parameter would look like this

Now you have successfully added the syntax highlighter now save your template and now we will test the syntax highlighter . you cannot just add the code and let it define the language , you should define the language in the tag . you can see what language we can highlight from here  . coming to the point i will show you how to syntax highlight a java hello world program .

go to the HTML tab in your post and find where you want the syntax highlighter to be and here we go

replace ____ with your language name and replace codes with your codes and that's how it works . here is a sample of the syntax highlighter.

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World");
    }

}

Thanks For Reading , Have A Great day .
