convert ArrayList object to double

[Web learner]

In the following code, I want ArrayList object x to be of type double.

How can I do that?

--Thanks

SqlConnection objConnection = new
SqlConnection(" server=(local)\ \SQLEXPRESS; database=Northw ind; integrated
security=true;" );
String strSQL = "SELECT ProductName, UnitsInStock FROM Products
WHERE UnitsInStock >= 50";
SqlCommand objCommand = new SqlCommand(strS QL, objConnection);

objConnection.O pen();

ArrayList strLabel = new ArrayList();
ArrayList x = new ArrayList();

SqlDataReader dr = objCommand.Exec uteReader();

while (dr.Read())
{
object[] values1 = new object[0];
dr.GetValues(va lues1);
strLabel.Add(va lues1);

object[] values2 = new object[1];
dr.GetValues(va lues2);
x.Add(values2);
}

dr.Close();
objConnection.C lose();

You need CLR 2.0 generics for that...

List<double> x = new List<double>( );

I changed the code as follows.

List<string> ProductName = new List<string>();
List<double> UnitsInStock = new List<double>();

SqlDataReader dr = objCommand.Exec uteReader();
while (dr.Read())
{
ProductName.Add (dr.GetValue(0) );
UnitsInStock.Ad d(dr.GetValue(1 ));
}

Now I get the following errors.

The best overloaded method match for 'System.Collect ions.Generic.Li st<string>.Add( string)' has some invalid arguments

The best overloaded method match for 'System.Collect ions.Generic.Li st<double>.Add( double)' has some invalid arguments

Any further idea, please??

If you know for a fact that the first item in the data row is a string,
and the second is a double, and neither of them can ever be null, then
you can do this:

ProductName.Add ((string)dr.Get Value(0));
UnitsInStock.Ad d((double)dr.Ge tValue(1));

or:
// no casting required
ProductName.Add (dr.GetString(0 ));
UnitsInStock.Ad d(dr.GetDouble( 1));

The Add() methods exepct a string and double, respectively. Try this:

ProductName.Add (dr.GetString(0 ));
UnitsInStock.Ad d(dr.GetDouble( 1));

or this:

ProductName.Add ((string)dr.Get Value(0));
UnitsInStock.Ad d((double)dr.Ge tValue(1));

Will the resulting array be in following form?

double[] UnitsInStock = { 120, 104, 112, 111 };
string[] ProductName = { "Boysenberr y", "Broed", "Momo", "Taifuk" };

For ProductName, both of the suggested methods works.

But with
UnitsInStock.Ad d(objReader.Get Double(1));
or
UnitsInStock.Ad d((double)objRe ader.GetValue(1 ));

I get the following error:

Exception Details: System.InvalidC astException: Specified cast is not valid.

Well, that suggests that column 1 isn't actually a double.

I suggest you fetch it as an object, then see what type it actually is.

cast the value to the type
ProductName.Add ((string)dr.Get Value(0));

Also, you will want to follow the .NET framework coding rules. I was
rather confused at what you were doing. PascalCasing is for
Properties, MethodNames, and Types. You should make your variables
camelCased as...

List<string> productName = new List<string>();
List<double> unitsInStock = new List<double>();

this will help remove confusion in the future.

You will definately want to buy the book....
