>>Then why you posted over here!! Don't get frustrated buddy !! Someone else may know ;) ------------ Moderators please suggest me right forum on codeproject for this. Thanx Prasad

Any pointers to developing an Input Method Editor ? Even I am confused to choose the technology for this project !! Regards, Prasad

Change the separator if possible, otherwise first replace your separator string with a character separator and then perform spliting operation using ur new character separator. You can use Replace function to replace strings or characters in a string with other strings or characters.

Hi originSH, It seems that u didn't got me correctly. U have told me about Text property of control, but I was talking about setting IME mode. U have told me about translation but I was asking about Transliteration. Anyways thanx for ur efforts. Regards Prasad

Thanx Allot Eduard, I am developing framework for mentioned project now, and I have done with the display part using resource files (i.e. to display label and button text dynamically from resource files). That works fine, problem is with data entry controls like TextBoxes, where IME comes into picture. I wanted to know how can I change IME mode (say from English to Japanese or any Asian language) programatically ? Awaiting ur reply. Prasad

Thanx for ur efforts Dragon, but it didn't helped me. What u have given dosent carries information about how .NET handles IME things. Thanx allot. Prasad

Hi, Currently I am working on a multilingual application. 1. I willing provide a Button on UI which will toggle IME mode, say from English to Japanese. How can do that ? 2. How can I detect if systems IME mode is changed by user ? 3. As well as above I want to transliterate the inputed text to english. Can I do it ? Regards Prasad

Hi Rupesh, Ofcource you can use it. Methods in My.Computer.FileSystem provides easy to use wrapper function to use the functionality implimented in System.Io.File. Regards Prasad

Here u get the 5th record SELECT TOP 1 FName FROM ( SELECT TOP 5 FName FROM Names ORDER BY FName Desc )

can you explain some more what exactly you wanted to do ?

Following one line will do the all above mentioned task including appending and all ... My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText("c:\x.txt", ControlChars.NewLine & "あだｓだｓｄ", True, System.Text.Encoding.Default) Third parameter "True" specifies appending and fourth parameter specifies ANSI depending upon ur systems ANSI code page.

Thanx Christian and Martin ... i would do by the way u both suggested .. i understood that it is optimum ... thanx alot (Thinking Outside The Box) Prasad :)

Great tip indeed ... I have done by following way, foreach(Control ctl in this.Controls) { if(ctl.GetType() == typeof(TextBox)) { TextBox t=ctl as TextBox; t.Text =""; } else if(ctl.GetType() == typeof(CheckBox)) { CheckBox t=ctl as CheckBox; t.Checked =false; } } Thank you so much for ur kind help, now im feeling that im doing it in right way, and also i havent forgot to write ur name in comment of my code :)(alog with url to this page).

Worst case scenario, you can import the VisualBasic dll/namespace into yuor C# app and call the old VB methods, but ideally you shouldn't do that, even if you're using VB. No no I would not do that. I need such functionality for a usual requirement, i.e. to clean all controls in a container. As usual I have wrote a foreach control block for looping through all the controls, depending upon controls type im planning to call its clear method or .Text = "", some controls on my form or container requires some other methods to clear them. Hence needed that function. I think I need to dig in reflection. Thanx for ur replies. (In persuit of reflection) Prasad

very true ...

Thank you so much Christian. So in first case I need to code same Business Logic twice, or is there any standard method to write the function once and prototyping it many times ? For instance I can write function with all params ones, then can write many functions with same names but with few parameters then of original. But still i need to write code to call original function hence the overhead of maintaining all the functions (while change or documentation). Is this is the last way to do ? And now about my second question, sorry really I didant got what shud I do when I need to call a function or set a property by softcoding such as CallByName does in VB.NET. Waiting for your reply Prasad P.S. BTW ur blog is good

Im a VB.NET programmer currently working with C#, I am having following questions. How to create a function with optional parameters ? Is there any function exist like "CallByName" in VB.NET ?
