Referring to this thread: Algorithm for counting the time that has occurred over the same period , how to associate a dictionary with a GridView? Pls take a look at the answer.
I tried adding a GridView, and then to the code: GV.DataSource = timeRangeCountsand linking it, but in response:
The data source for GridView with id 'GV' did not have any properties or attributes from which to generate columns. Ensure that your data source has content.
How can i do this? Check out the code below:
The first helper class is used to count exact and subband matches:
Public Class TimeRangeCounter
Property ExactRangeMatch as Integer
Property SubRangeMatch as Integer
End Class
A second helper class is used to help the dictionary know how one key (type TimeRange) differs from another:
Public Class TimeRangeEqualityComparer
Implements IEqualityComparer(Of TimeRange)
Public Overloads Function Equals(left As TimeRange, right As TimeRange) _
As Boolean Implements IEqualityComparer(Of TimeRange).Equals
Return left.ToString = right.ToString
End Function
Public Overloads Function GetHashCode(range As TimeRange) _
As Integer Implements IEqualityComparer(Of TimeRange).GetHashCode
return range.ToString().GetHashCode()
End Function
End Class
The third helper class stores the start and end time of the range:
Public Class TimeRange
Private readonly _start
Private readonly _end
Public Readonly Property Start
Get
return _start
End Get
End Property
Public Readonly Property [End]
Get
return _end
End Get
End Property
Public Sub New(start As String, [end] As string)
Me._start = start
Me._end = [end]
End Sub
Public Overrides Function ToString() as String
Return String.Format("{0}-{1}", Start, [End])
End Function
End Class
Thus, using the above, we must write this algorithm:
Dim columnLength As Integer = 5
Dim timeStart() As String = {"08.00", "08.00", "10.00", "08.00", "08.00"}
Dim timeEnd() As String = {"08.50", "11.50", "11.00", "09.00", "08.50"}
Dim comparer As New TimeRangeEqualityComparer()
Dim timeRangeCounts As New Dictionary(Of TimeRange, TimeRangeCounter)(comparer)
'Count exact range matches while building dictionary
For i = 0 to columnLength - 1
Dim key As TimeRange = New TimeRange(timeStart(i), timeEnd(i))
If timeRangeCounts.ContainsKey(key)
timeRangeCounts(key).ExactRangeMatch += 1
Else
Dim counter = New TimeRangeCounter()
counter.ExactRangeMatch = 1
timeRangeCounts(key) = counter
End If
Next
'Count sub ranges
For Each kvp in timeRangeCounts
For Each key in timeRangeCounts.Keys
If kvp.key.Start >= key.Start AndAlso _
kvp.Key.End <= key.End AndAlso _
kvp.key.ToString <> key.ToString then
kvp.Value.SubRangeMatch += 1
End If
Next
Next
'Console.WriteLine(timeRangeCounts)
GV.DataSource = timeRangeCounts
GV.DataBind()
Grid:
<asp:GridView ID="GV" runat="server">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Key" HeaderText="Dictionary Key" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Value" HeaderText="Dictionary Value" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
Then I tried to run it, but the result is as follows:
Dictionary Key Dictionary Value
08:00:00-08:50:00 TimeRangeCounter
08:00:00-09:40:00 TimeRangeCounter
10:00:00-11:40:00 TimeRangeCounter
... ...
