Recursively draw equations in C#

Posted on September 7, 2017 by Rod Stephens

The basic idea for recursively drawing equations is simple. Well, sort of simple. Classes represent different kinds of equations. A particular class knows how to draw its kind of equation. It uses other classes to draw its pieces. For example, … Continue reading →

Iterate over items in an array with unknown dimensions in C#

Posted on August 25, 2017 by Rod Stephens

This example shows how you can iterate over the items in an array that has an unknown number of dimensions. When it starts, the program executes the following code. private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { string[, ,] values = … Continue reading →

Enumerate TreeView nodes in C#

Posted on April 27, 2017 by RodStephens

The previous two posts show two ways you can enumerate TreeView nodes that are checked. The idea is to recursively crawl over the tree’s nodes and pick out the checked ones. Unfortunately that method isn’t easily extendable. For example, if … Continue reading →

Yield checked TreeView nodes in C#

Posted on April 26, 2017 by RodStephens

The previous example used recursion to traverse the nodes in a TreeView control and fill a list with the nodes that are checked. This example uses a slightly different approach. It traverses the TreeView control’s nodes and uses the yield … Continue reading →

Make a list of checked TreeView nodes in C#

Posted on April 25, 2017 by RodStephens

If you set a TreeView control’s CheckBoxes property to true, then the control displays boxes that the user can check to select nodes. In that case you will probably need to find the checked TreeView nodes at some point. Strangely … Continue reading →

Display tooltips for TreeView nodes in C#

Posted on April 24, 2017 by Rod Stephens

At design time, I added a TreeView control to the form. I also added an associated ImageList control to hold images for the TreeView control’s nodes, and I set the TreeView control’s ImageList property to the ImageList control. Finally I … Continue reading →

Loop over an array of unknown dimension in C#

Posted on December 13, 2016 by Rod Stephens

The previous post Loop over entries in an array of unknown length in C# explains how to loop over the entries in a one- or two-dimensional array, but what do you do if you don’t know how many dimensions an … Continue reading →

Draw a recursive overlapping snowflake fractal in C#

Posted on February 25, 2016 by Rod Stephens

The example Draw a recursive snowflake fractal in C# explains how to use an iterator and a generator to draw a snowflake fractal. This example uses the same technique with the initiator and generator shown in the second and … Continue reading →

Draw a recursive von Koch snowflake fractal in C#

Posted on February 25, 2016 by Rod Stephens

This example shows how to draw a von Koch snowflake fractal. It uses the same techniques described in the post Draw a recursive snowflake fractal in C#. The DrawSnowflake and DrawSnowflakeEdge methods are exactly the same as before. The … Continue reading →

Draw a recursive snowflake fractal in C#

Posted on February 25, 2016 by Rod Stephens

This program draws a recursive snowflake fractal by using an initiator and a generator to define the fractal’s shape. The initiator is a curve that represent the fractal’s basic shape. In this case, the initiator is the triangle shown … Continue reading →
