badubo Please help me

[lar282]

Hi
One of the members of the french team helped me out with a C# class called XDba.cs

I got a small issue that when I try to add or remove an item in a datasbe the class somehow removes the PATH in a existing datasbe file
<paths>
<path>D:\recorded_tv</path>
</paths>

What I'm really trying to do is replace or add info of an existing item, but that does not seem to work so I remove it first and then add a new item

Can u guys help me out once again please


Regards

badubo where art you

[badubo]

Paths were not relevant for my needs (they are used for templates and as I create personalized dba, I don't need them) so I didn't integrate the load and save of this info.

But as you have the source code, you can easilly adapt the class for loading paths and saving them. No?

I can try.

Do u remember if u implemented CHANGE a existing item in a datasbe
Right now I delete all then add them again, cause I could figure out how to modify an existing item. When I tried it added a new one so I ended up with duplicates.

changing an existing item is not adding a new item with "same info" (xlobby authorize duplicates in dba)

You have to extract (find) the item you want to change in the dba, and simply change it.

[lar282]

So I first
lst=DbaRec.Find("Parameter",strfile);

Then copy the array to someother place and then
item = (XDbaItem)lst[0];
DbaRec.RemoveItem(item);

and then add it again from the copied array?
DbaRec.AddItem(copy_of_lst);


I really appriciate your help.Please bare with me.....

you do not have to remove it
you can simply use the item instance and modifying its content

[lar282]

thanks for the tip, but I must be dumb...

u said
you can simply use the item instance and modifying its content

but there is no DbaRec.Modify or saveitem...Only Save exist and then the file gets saved. I don't get how to modify the instance.Do u have 3 minutes of more patience with me?


lst=DbaRec.Find("Parameter","Alias");
item = (XDbaItem)lst[0];
item="now I moddify this";
//So how do I save it?
DbaRec.Save(); ????

[badubo]

did you test the code you wrote?

Once you have modified the item, you can save the file, it will dump the content of the dba instance (and as the item is in the internal list, it will be dumped also)

[lar282]

Forgot to say.......

THANK YOU
