Building the Address control: Part III

In Part 1 and Part 2 of this article (Part 1; Part 2; Part 3) we have defined our task, have prepared a basis for creation and testing the Address control and have built the control. In this short part we are going to test the control with the help of the UC_Test project.

Inside of the UC_Test project from "My Users Controls" tab drag and drop on the Form1[Design] the Address control named " address1" and from "Windows Forms" tab drag and drop a button named "buttonTestProperties" (don't forget to add references to "Address" dll and "GetData" dll !). Set the buttonTestProperties text property to "Properties Test". Add to the Form1.cs the follow code :

private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{

GetData.GetDataHelp DT_Cities = new GetData.GetDataHelp();

address1.C_Value_Member ="SYMBOL_CITY";

address1.C_Display_Member = "CITY";

address1.C_DataTableCities = DT_Cities.getDataSetCities(1000).Tables[0] ;

// address1.C_TextBox_Multiline = false;

}

private void buttonTestProperties_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{

string sHelp =

"PROPERTIES : " + "\n\n\n" +

"C_Address = " + address1.C_Address + ";\n" +

"C_APARTMENT = " + address1.C_APARTMENT + ";\n" +

"C_BUILDING = " + address1.C_BUILDING + ";\n" +

"C_CITY = " + address1.C_CITY + ";\n" +

"C_ENTRANCE = " + address1.C_ENTRANCE + ";\n" +

"C_STREET = " + address1.C_STREET + ";\n" +

"C_SYMBOL_CITY = " + address1.C_SYMBOL_CITY + ";\n" +

"C_ZIP = " + address1.C_ZIP ;

MessageBox.Show(sHelp,"Test Project");

}

Run the project and be convinced that all our tasks (see fig 1 and fig 2; Part 1) are carried out. Test "find" process: enter any city symbol or city name and see result (fig. 10, fig. 11 ):

Figure 10.

Figure 11.

Now click "OK" button and get a new address string (fig. 12) :

Figure 12.

In order to test properties of the control (which can be inserted into some table , passed to some form, etc ) just click "Properties Test " button (fig. 13):

Figure 13.

CONCLUSION

I hope that this article (with the detailed description of the code and designing of the solution of three projects ) will help you to recreate the Address control or create your own control with your own requests.

Good luck in programming !
