What am i missing? Why can't it initializeComponent?

leowest•5w ago

build your solution if it builds its just $vsdrunk

MODiX•5w ago

* close VS * remove the hidden folder .vs * remove all bin and obj folder next to each csproj (DO NOT TOUCH THE .git FOLDER OR WHAT'S INSIDE) * restart vs

leowest•5w ago

also is that wpf?winui3? or what

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

I have no idea what those are I did manage to fix it but i'm unsure about

leowest•5w ago

what kind of project u create

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

<Window x:Class="Othello.MainWindow"

<Window x:Class="Othello.MainWindow"


What should be written here if my .cs file is called

SetupGameDialog.xaml.cs` Othello game

leowest•5w ago

no double click your project in the solution explorer then paste it here and we will know what kind of project it is

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

Doubleclick my project?

leowest•5w ago

ok so yeah that is wrong indeed

should have been Othello.View.MainWindow because u moved it

leowest•5w ago

you double click that it opens the csproj and with the contents of it u can tell what kind of projec it is

leowest•5w ago

ok so its WPF 🙂 'SetupGameDialog' does not contain a definition for 'HumanVsHuman_Click' you have a click event in your xaml but not in the .xaml.cs file

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

using System.Windows;

namespace Othello
{
    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void HumanVsHuman_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Human vs Human button clicked!");
        }

        private void HumanVsComputer_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("HumanVsComputer_Click");
        }

        private void ComputerVsComputer_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("ComputerVsComputer_Click");
        }
    }
}

using System.Windows;

namespace Othello
{
    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void HumanVsHuman_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Human vs Human button clicked!");
        }

        private void HumanVsComputer_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("HumanVsComputer_Click");
        }

        private void ComputerVsComputer_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("ComputerVsComputer_Click");
        }
    }
}

I did define it Is it because my namespace is wrong?

leowest•5w ago

yes Othello.View is what u had you only have 1 MainWindow.xaml and MainWindow.xaml.cs correct?

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

Yes i think so

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

I've made definitions for the buttons and changed the namespace

leowest•5w ago

ok you changed the file name but not the class name hehe its ok so yeah they should both have the .View once u change that do a build to ensure its ok or what other errors u have

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

I'm not sure i understand. I changed the namespace to Assignment2.view Is it

        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

That's the problem? aaaah

    public partial class SetupGameDialog : Window
    {
        public SetupGameDialog()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

    public partial class SetupGameDialog : Window
    {
        public SetupGameDialog()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

That seems to solve it

leowest•5w ago

u might have changed something esle too glad u figured out 😉

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

Do you know if it's possible to move xaml files? like i want WinnerDialog.xaml to be ontop, then DrawDialog etc drag and drop doesn't seem to work lol

leowest•5w ago

yes it is but if u want to also have the right structure u would have to rename the namespace drag and drop should work yes

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

I'm a little bit stuck

using System.Windows;

namespace Assignment2.View
{
    public partial class SetupGameDialog : Window
    {
        public SetupGameDialog()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void HumanVsHuman_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            
        }

        private void HumanVsComputer_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            
        }

        private void ComputerVsComputer_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            
        }
    }
}

using System.Windows;

namespace Assignment2.View
{
    public partial class SetupGameDialog : Window
    {
        public SetupGameDialog()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void HumanVsHuman_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            
        }

        private void HumanVsComputer_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            
        }

        private void ComputerVsComputer_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            
        }
    }
}

So this is the code behind my three buttons. They aren't implemented yet However when the user presses the HumanVsHuman button i want it to start a game

leowest•5w ago

sure then u would have to write the logic for that to happen what part of that are u stuck with

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

Honestly this assignment is so complicated that i'm even unsure on what i'm unsure about

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

These 3 are what i'm trying to make right now I already make the 5.1 SetUpGameDialog fk i realiezd i don't take their names

leowest•5w ago

ok so SetupGameDialog should be a window with two textbox and either a checkbox under each textbox indication if its a computer or not, or a combobox and a button as I understood so you fill in the name on textbox 1 then you fill in the name on textbox 2 then u click the checkbox if player 1 or 2 are computer then u hit the button so for now I would just implement that and try to print the output when u click the button then u work out how it passes it back to the GameWindow

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

damn so there is no comptuer vs computer good But right so when they click human vs human a new window comes up? and asks for names

leowest•5w ago

there is just 1 button not 3 so you click start or register or something it would go back to the previous window GameWindow is apparently the main window that should open from what is written there as setupgamedialog is a child of it

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

😕

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

This is what i had in mind? Human vs Human -> enter names -> confirm window

leowest•5w ago

pretty close now have a checkbox that says "Is Computer" for example and if check then its a computer if not a player

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

:harold:

leowest•5w ago

self explanatory you're trying to give value to a dialog result before its create

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

I don't get it

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

leowest•5w ago

what you don't get, show code etc might be easier for me to explain

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

When i press ok the window has already been up

leowest•5w ago

IsPlayer2Computer = IsPlayer2ComputerCheckBox.IsChecked == true;

IsPlayer2Computer = IsPlayer2ComputerCheckBox.IsChecked == true;

You can resume that to

IsPlayer2Computer = IsPlayer2ComputerCheckBox.IsChecked;

IsPlayer2Computer = IsPlayer2ComputerCheckBox.IsChecked;

IsChecked already returns true or false

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

As far as i can see it looks fine?

leowest•5w ago

looks fine yes

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

Can't implicitly convert type bool? to bool

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

leowest•5w ago

you can 1 extra } at the end

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

IsPlayer2Computer = (bool)IsPlayer2ComputerCheckBox.IsChecked;

IsPlayer2Computer = (bool)IsPlayer2ComputerCheckBox.IsChecked;

This seemed to fix it however i'm still getting the same error?

leowest•5w ago

ah its nullable I see ok, just IsChecked.Value anyway so the problem is when u click ok it does no close?

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

exactly

leowest•5w ago

what u do here is you set a breakpoint then u walk thru the method to see what is wrong

leowest•5w ago

you see the red circle? you go to the line where u have Player1Name = Player1NameTextBox.Text; and click on the gray are near the number and it will set that red circle then you run your project and fill in the information and press the OK then it will stop at that line then you press slowly F11 and it will walk down your code

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

Player1Name "a" string yeah it does get set and player2 name gets set to computer

leowest•5w ago

yes then u check everything and see where its skipping

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

It's not skipping anywhere? Both player1 and player2 name gets set appropriately

leowest•5w ago

ok it reached the result? so it should close does it reach the this.Close() if u keep hitting F11?

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

No. We get the exception on this.DialogResult = true;

leowest•5w ago

what exception?

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

I clicked the button "OK" so it should then close same exception

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

the window has been created and shown as a dialog

leowest•5w ago

weird

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

son idk why it's casting an exception

leowest•5w ago

click view details and its pointing at the DialogResult from that files? SetupGameDialog?

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

Can't i just remove it? seems to work lol

leowest•5w ago

technically yes you can but you lose the ability to tell from the ShowDialog result if it worked or not

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

I only care to finish the assignment xd

leowest•5w ago

for example

var result = setup.ShowDialog();
if (result == true)
{
    // I got the values and can do something with it
}

var result = setup.ShowDialog();
if (result == true)
{
    // I got the values and can do something with it
}

sure can u show me this thou I did like to see why its not working for u

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

i'm never gonna finish this teachers are psychotic for making an assignment this hard

leowest•5w ago

its not hard you're just overthinking it 🙂 like u were thinking u had to do a computer vs computer that u needed 3 buttons

leowest•5w ago

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

Well the setupgamewindow works

leowest•5w ago

you're luck that your material explains and even tells u what to use to make the stuff some teachers are way more vague than that

Merineth 🇸🇪OP•5w ago

ok i got a problem now because i removed that line

        private void NewGameButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            // Show the SetUpGameDialog to collect player names and types
            SetUpGameDialog setUpDialog = new SetUpGameDialog();

                string player1Name = setUpDialog.Player1Name;

                Player1Label.Text = "Player 1: " + player1Name;
                Player2Label.Text = "Player 2: " + player2Name;

                Player1Score.Text = "Black Disks: 0";
                Player2Score.Text = "White Disks: 0";

                // For example:
                // GameManager.StartGame(player1Name, player2Name, isPlayer2Computer);
            }
            else
            {
                // If the user cancels the setup
                MessageBox.Show("Game setup was canceled.", "Canceled");

                string player2Name = setUpDialog.Player2Name;
                bool isPlayer2Computer = setUpDialog.IsPlayer2Computer;

                // Update the status section with the player names
                Player1Label.Text = "Player 1: " + player1Name;
                Player2Label.Text = "Player 2: " + player2Name;

                // You can set the scores or other initial data
                Player1Score.Text = "Black Disks: 0";
                Player2Score.Text = "White Disks: 0";

                // Initialize the game with the provided player data
                // For example:
                // GameManager.StartGame(player1Name, player2Name, isPlayer2Computer);
            }
            else
            {
                // If the user cancels the setup
                MessageBox.Show("Game setup was canceled.", "Canceled");
            }
        }
