Position values are not match with actual values - asp.net

Microsoft Chart Control generates a different visual then the set property. Property based it always shows correct value but if you open the generated chart with graphic software like Photoshop it shows pixels are not matching with the set property.
I found this bug while trying to retrieve all InnerPlot Positions into a HiddenField. Based on this bug right now, there is no way to get correct absolute position of ChartAreas or InnerPlots. Please let me know if you believe there is a workaround about it...
Thank you for your time and attention...

You have the following line:
Dim SpaceBetweenChartAreas As Single = 1 '<= %1 of Chart's Height
That means that your calculations are being performed with single precision float point values - which are highly susceptible to rounding errors.
At the very least you should use Double values.

How to separate group of line series in different panes in DevExpress BootstrapChart?

Right now, I'm developing web application using DevExpress BootstrapChart (v17.2.13.0) and I have binded the control with object datasource. Here is the example data used to be displayed in the graph:
Here is my objectives:
The graph will show the values of "ademand_im" and "rdemand_im" in different panes (I named them pane "A" and "B")
Each pane has "data_time" (date and time) as X-axis and the values ("ademand_im" or "rdemand_im") as Y-axis
Also, the values in each pane will be grouped by "hardware_id" so, in this case, there should be 2 line series of "83245551" and "88310991" in each pane (Note that "hardware_id" can be varied from time to time).
So the graph should look like this:
However, what I only acheive at this moment is that either the line series are shown in both panes but not grouped or not show anything in the graph.
Here is my code:
<dx:BootstrapChart ID="chart" ClientInstanceName="chart" runat="server"
DataSourceID="ods_ChartData" Height="640px" TitleText="Chart Data" CrosshairEnabled="true" Panes="A,B">
<ClientSideEvents Init="OnChartInit" />
<SettingsToolTip Shared="true" Enabled="true" OnClientCustomizeTooltip="ChartToolTip" />
<ArgumentAxis ArgumentType="System.DateTime" GridVisible="True" MinorGridVisible="True"
TickVisible="True" MinorTickVisible="True" TickInterval="1" MinorTickCount="3" TitleText="Date">
<Label DisplayMode="Rotate" RotationAngle="-0" Format-Formatter="FormatDate" />
</ArgumentAxis>
<ValueAxisCollection>
<dx:BootstrapChartValueAxis Pane="A" TitleText="ademand_im" />
<dx:BootstrapChartValueAxis Pane="B" TitleText="rdemand_im" />
</ValueAxisCollection>
<SettingsCommonSeries Type="Line" ArgumentField="data_time" Point-Size="0" />
<SettingsSeriesTemplate NameField="hardware_id" />
<SeriesCollection>
<dx:BootstrapChartLineSeries Pane="A" ValueField="ademand_im" />
<dx:BootstrapChartLineSeries Pane="B" ValueField="rdemand_im" />
</SeriesCollection>
</dx:BootstrapChart>
In this code, if I remove the "SettingsSeriesTemplate" line, the data will show in both panes but only in single line in each pane. However, if I keep this line the graph will not show anything.
After I tried to understand how this control works, the only solution I found is that I have to pivot "hardware_id" columns into "ademand_im" and "rdemand_im" values, which may be not the ideal one.
So instead of having "hardware_id", "ademand_im" and "rdemand_im" columns, the table should be transformed to have like "ademand_im_83245551", "ademand_im_88310991", "rdemand_im_83245551" and "rdemand_im_88310991" columns instead.
This is how the table after transforming looks like:
Here is the function codes that I used to transform the table (VB.NET):
<Extension()>
Public Function PivotDataTableColumnGroup(srcData As DataTable, rowGroupField As String, pivotColumnField As String, valueGroupFields As IEnumerable(Of String),
Optional ValueGroupColumnName As Func(Of String, String, String) = Nothing,
Optional otherFields As IEnumerable(Of String) = Nothing,
Optional GetOtherFieldValue As Func(Of DataTable, String, Object, Object) = Nothing
) As DataTable
Dim groupValueList As List(Of Object) = srcData.GetDistinctValuesByColumnName(rowGroupField)
Dim pivotValueList As List(Of Object) = srcData.GetDistinctValuesByColumnName(pivotColumnField)
Dim hasOtherFieldColumn As Boolean = Not (otherFields Is Nothing Or GetOtherFieldValue Is Nothing)
Dim dt As New DataTable
With dt
.Columns.Add(rowGroupField, srcData.Columns(rowGroupField).DataType)
For i As Integer = 0 To valueGroupFields.Count - 1
For j As Integer = 0 To pivotValueList.Count - 1
Dim columnName As String = GetColumnNameFromGroupFieldAndPivotValues(valueGroupFields(i), pivotValueList(j), ValueGroupColumnName)
dt.Columns.Add(columnName, srcData.Columns(valueGroupFields(i)).DataType)
Next
Next
If hasOtherFieldColumn Then
For i As Integer = 0 To otherFields.Count - 1
.Columns.Add(otherFields(i), srcData.Columns(otherFields(i)).DataType)
Next
End If
For i As Integer = 0 To groupValueList.Count - 1
Dim currentGroupValue As Object = groupValueList(i)
Dim dr As DataRow = dt.NewRow()
dr(rowGroupField) = currentGroupValue
If hasOtherFieldColumn Then
For j As Integer = 0 To otherFields.Count - 1
dr(otherFields(j)) = DBNullIfNothing(GetOtherFieldValue(srcData, otherFields(j), currentGroupValue))
Next
End If
For j As Integer = 0 To valueGroupFields.Count - 1
Dim currentField As String = valueGroupFields(j)
For k As Integer = 0 To pivotValueList.Count - 1
Dim currentPivotValue As Object = pivotValueList(k)
Dim columnName As String = GetColumnNameFromGroupFieldAndPivotValues(valueGroupFields(j), pivotValueList(k), ValueGroupColumnName)
Dim value As Object = (From row In srcData.AsEnumerable
Where row(rowGroupField) = currentGroupValue _
AndAlso row(pivotColumnField) = currentPivotValue
Select row(currentField)
).FirstOrDefault
dr(columnName) = DBNullIfNothing(value)
Next
Next
dt.Rows.Add(dr)
Next
End With
Return dt
End Function
<Extension()>
Public Function GetDistinctValuesByColumnName(dt As DataTable, columnName As String) As List(Of Object)
Dim valueList As List(Of Object) = (From row As DataRow In dt.AsEnumerable
Where Not IsDBNull(row(columnName))
Order By row(columnName)
Select row(columnName) Distinct
).ToList
Return valueList
End Function
Private Function GetColumnNameFromGroupFieldAndPivotValues(groupField As String, pivotValue As Object, Optional ValueGroupColumnName As Func(Of String, String, String) = Nothing) As String
Dim columnName As String = groupField & "_" & pivotValue.ToString()
If ValueGroupColumnName IsNot Nothing Then
columnName = ValueGroupColumnName(groupField, pivotValue)
End If
Return columnName
End Function
Public Function DBNullIfNothing(o As Object) As Object
If o Is Nothing Then Return DBNull.Value
Return o
End Function
And this is how I used the function to transform the table:
Dim chartData As DataTable = result.PivotDataTableColumnGroup("data_time", "hardware_id", {"ademand_im", "rdemand_im"}, Nothing, Nothing, Nothing)
ResultChartData = chartData 'Stored in ASPxHiddenField in JSON form
After that, instead of setting chart series properties in aspx file, I have to add chart series manually in code behind:
Private Sub chart_LoadProfile_DataBound(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles chart_LoadProfile.DataBound
Using ResultChartData
Dim seriesList As List(Of String) = (From col As DataColumn In ResultChartData.Columns
Where col.ColumnName <> "data_time"
Order By col.ColumnName
Select col.ColumnName
).ToList
Dim hardWardCount As Integer = (From s In seriesList Where s.Contains("ademand_im_")).Count
Dim showInLegend As Boolean = hardWardCount > 1
With chart_LoadProfile.SeriesCollection
.Clear()
For i As Integer = 0 To seriesList.Count - 1
Dim fieldName As String = seriesList(i)
Dim hardwareId As String = seriesList(i).Split("_")(2)
Dim series As New BootstrapChartLineSeries
With series
.ArgumentField = "data_time"
.ValueField = fieldName
.Point.Size = 0
.ShowInLegend = showInLegend
If fieldName.Contains("ademand_im_") Then
.Pane = "A"
.Name = "kW - " & hardwareId
Else
.Pane = "B"
.Name = "kVar - " & hardwareId
End If
End With
.Add(series)
Next
End With
End Using
End Sub

Trouble Returning List of string of all looped xml elements in function

please let me know if you need any additional information. Thank you!
First you need to instantiate your List(of String). Right now for you it is Nothing.
Dim labelMan As List(Of String) = New List(of String)
Then you need to use the List(of T) Add method:
labelMan.Add("<div>DayOfWeek:" & Hours.DayOfWeek & "Open:" & Hours.Open & "Close: " & Hours.Close & "</div>")
Thanks Again to those who helped me. Here the complete answer w/ comments:)
side note -- This code will be audited, so for those who can see places that I should add testing or should make improvement in the code below. Please feel free to advise/comment.

Code works when single user viewing but page goes crazy when multiple users are viewing same page

Below are the aspx and vb code file for the problem page. The problem page works when only one user is logged in and viewing. Although, when another user logs in and views the same page then this happens ard(i) <> xxz(i)
Then Response.Redirect("../vwall/vwall_tour.aspx?tour_id=" & ddlAvailableTours.SelectedValue)
End If
And the page reloads repetitively. So, ard(i) <> xxz(i) happens when multiple users are logged in viewing. How can one user be affected by another user viewing and making selections on the same page? Everything is fine with one user not when multiple users are playing around on this page.

The reason for that is:
Public Shared xxz(9) As String
By declaring the variable as Shared, there only ever exists one instance of the variable, shared by all users. Whatever one user puts in the variable is visible to all other users.
You would rather store the array in the Session collection, so that each user can have one array of their own.
Declare the array variable as an instance variable, so that it's local to the current page, and don't create the actual array yet:
Public xxz As String()
In the beginning of the code, get the array from the Session collection, or create a new one if there is no array since before:
xxz = DirectCast(Session("xxz"), String())
If xxz Is Nothing Then
ReDim xxz(9)
Session("xxz") = xxz
End If

Repeater forgetting how many items to display when next button is clicked

I have a repeater list that displays results in sets of 15. When you click the next button it shows the next 15 and so on.
I have added some buttons that will then filter the display to show the results in sets of 10, 25, 50.
When you click these it does work but when you click the next button it resets the display value to 15.
Below is the chunk of script:
Public Property CurrentPage() As Integer
Get
' look for current page in ViewState
Dim o As Object = Me.ViewState("_CurrentPage")
If o Is Nothing Then
Return 0
Else
' default to showing the first page
Return CInt(o)
End If
End Get
Set
Me.ViewState("_CurrentPage") = value
End Set
End Property
Protected Sub ItemsGet()
Dim pageSize As Integer = 15
ItemsGet(pageSize)
End Sub
Private Sub ItemsGet(ByVal pageSize As Integer)
' Read sample item info from XML document into a DataSet
' Populate the repeater control with the Items DataSet
Dim objPds As New PagedDataSource()
Dim selectedCategory As String = ddlCategory.SelectedValue.ToString()
Dim selectedCategoryIndex As Integer = ddlCategory.SelectedIndex
Dim selectedCategoryMonth As String = ddlCategoryMonth.SelectedValue.ToString()
Dim selectedCategoryMonthIndex As Integer = ddlCategoryMonth.SelectedIndex
Dim query = GetXmlDataSet()
If (Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(selectedCategory) And selectedCategoryIndex > 0) Then
query = query.Where(Function(x) x("SCategoryName") = selectedCategory)
End If
If (Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(selectedCategoryMonth) And selectedCategoryMonthIndex > 0) Then
query = query.Where(Function(x) x("SCategoryMonth") = selectedCategoryMonth)
End If
If (query.Count() > 0) Then
objPds.DataSource = query.CopyToDataTable().Rows
objPds.AllowPaging = True
objPds.PageSize = pageSize
objPds.CurrentPageIndex = CurrentPage
lblCurrentPage.Text = "Page: " + (CurrentPage + 1).ToString() + " of " + objPds.PageCount.ToString()
' Disable Prev or Next buttons if necessary
cmdPrev.Enabled = Not objPds.IsFirstPage
cmdNext.Enabled = Not objPds.IsLastPage
Display10.Enabled = True
Display25.Enabled = True
Display50.Enabled = True
categories.DataSource = objPds
categories.DataBind()
Else
CurrentPage = 0
categories.Controls.Clear()
cmdPrev.Enabled = False
cmdNext.Enabled = False
Display10.Enabled = False
Display25.Enabled = False
Display50.Enabled = False
lblCurrentPage.Text = "Page: 0 of 0 "
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Display10_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim pageSize As Integer = 10
CurrentPage = 0
ItemsGet(pageSize)
End Sub
Private Sub Display25_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim pageSize As Integer = 25
CurrentPage = 0
ItemsGet(pageSize)
End Sub
Private Sub Display50_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim pageSize As Integer = 50
CurrentPage = 0
ItemsGet(pageSize)
End Sub
Private Sub cmdPrev_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
' Set viewstate variable to the previous page
CurrentPage -= 1
' Reload control
ItemsGet()
End Sub
Private Sub cmdNext_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
' Set viewstate variable to the next page
CurrentPage += 1
' Reload control
ItemsGet()
End Sub
Protected Sub ddlCategory_SelectedIndexChanged1(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
CurrentPage = 0
ItemsGet()
End Sub
Protected Sub ddlCategoryMonth_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
CurrentPage = 0
ItemsGet()
End Sub
You need to 'persist' the number of items to get.
There are a few ways to do this....
Re-factor PageSize into a property with its backing kept in the viewstate, remember to initialise with appropriate default values.
Change the ItemsGet sub to use the property instead.
My vb is rusty!
Public Property PageSize() As Integer
Get
If Me.ViewState("PageSize") Is Nothing Then
Me.ViewState("PageSize") = 15
End If
Return CInt( Me.ViewState("PageSize") )
End Get
Set
Me.ViewState("PageSize") = value
End Set
End Property

No results returning from GridView.SelectedRow.Cells(x).Text?

I have a GridView which is showing results and from which I am deleting a result using the auto-created delete link. My code behind to remove the row and associated info. is:
Private Sub GridView1_RowDeleting(sender As Object, e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewDeleteEventArgs) Handles GridView1.RowDeleting
' The deletion of the individual row is automatically handled by the GridView.
Dim dbDelete As New pbu_housingEntities
' Remove individual from the bed.
Dim remove_bed = From p In dbDelete.Beds _
Where p.occupant = GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells(3).Text _
Where p.room = GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells(6).Text _
Where p.building = GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells(5).Text _
Order By p.id Descending _
Select p
remove_bed.First.occupant = ""
dbDelete.SaveChanges()
' Increase number of open spaces in room.
Dim update_occupancy = From p In dbDelete.Rooms _
Where p.room1 = GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells(6).Text
Where p.building = GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells(5).Text _
Select p
update_occupancy.First.current_occupancy = update_occupancy.First.current_occupancy - 1
dbDelete.SaveChanges()
End Sub
It seems that it is not able to grab the row that is being deleted, so it is always giving me a "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error.
Use GridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(.......
