Get The English Text For A Number

This Example Shows How To Get The English Text For A Number.This Can Be Used To Convert A Numeric Currency To English Sentence.
By Passing A Number To This Method You Can Get The Text For The Number You Passed

Finding The Date of Birth Using NIC No and The Logic Behind The NIC No

In this blog post Ill explain you the logic behind the Sri Lankan National Identity Card (NIC). Sri Lanka now has Old NIC No Format as well as a New NIC Format.

First of will see, how this NIC No is constructed. Lets take a simple example.

OLD 901912350V
NEW 199019102350

Old Format

Old NIC Format consist of 9 numeric letters followed with alphabetic character.
Only first five digits contains the date of birth logic.
First two digits represents the born year. As you can see in the above example its "90". That means birth year is 1990.
Then next three numeric digits represent the no of days to your birthday date from January 1.

New Format

New NIC Format consist of 12 numeric letters only.
Only first 7 digits contains the date of birth logic.
First four digits represents the born year. As you can see in the above example its "1990". That means birth year is 1990.
Then next three numeric digits represent the no of days to your birthday date from January 1.

But when calculating the month and date, you have to consider two things.
1. For all the years February month has 29 days.
2. For women's this three digits will start from 500. That means for women's this three digits has an additional 500.

Lets consider our example again. In my case its 191. So my birth month is July and date is 9th. So my birthday day is 1990-07-09. As I was mentioning above lets say a women born on the same day as our example. Then first five digits of her NIC No will be "90691" as per the old format and "1990691" as per the new format.

Before moving to particular programming language lets see the logical writing of the code.
First of all you need to verify the NIC No. So we need to do few validations.

Length of the NIC No : To support both the new and old format it should be either 10 or 12 Characters long.
If character length is 10, that means its old format. So first nine digits has to be numeric, followed by an alphabetic letter.
Range : If old format, three digits after first two digits has be in the range of either 1 to 366 or 501 to 866. If new format range same for the three digits after first four digits

Now lets come to the interesting part. Lets calculate this birth day using a simple HTML + jQuery program.

Changing Form Data From Another Form

This Example Shows How To Access Data Of Form From Another Form.
By Using This Method You Can Call A Method Or You Can Set Text To TextBox Also.
Normally After Creating A Sub Class You May Have To Access The Parent Class Text Field In Order To Set Or Get The Text To It.Following Example Shows How To Do This.

In My Example I'm Assuming I've Two Forms Called MyForm1 and MyForm2.
MyForm1 Opens The MyForm2.
MyForm1 Have Two Text Fields Called txtInvoiceNo, txtFullName

First Of All Create The Two Forms As Above.
Then We Have To Make The Form1 As Parent Class In Form2.
In Order To Do That We Have To Pass The Form2 Object That Created In Form1(Simply The Form2 Object To Show The Form2)

In Your Form1 You Can Open The Form2 By Clicking A Button Or Any Other Event.Use Following Codes To Do That.Paste The Following Codes In The Event You Are Going To Open The Form2 in Form1.

MyForm2 formMyForm2 = new MyForm2();
formMyForm2.Show();
formMyForm2.RegisterParent(this);//This Code Unit Help To Access This Form From A Object

Add The Following Code Lines Inside The Form2.This Has A MyForm1 Class Object and A Method To Get The Parent Class Object.

private MyForm1 _parent;

internal void RegisterParent(MyForm1 form)
{
this._parent = form;
}

Now You Can Set Your Values From MyForm2 to MyForm1
I'm Using A Button Click Example To Show It.

private void btnAdd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Adding Values To MyForm1
_parent.txtInvoiceNo.Text = "Your Set Code Goes Here";
_parent.txtFullName.Text = "Your Set Code Goes Here";
}

Change Form Events From Another Form(Hide,Close,Show)

When Ever You Want To Do Any Events Like Hide,Close,Show Of A Form From Another Form You Can Use Following Code.
When Ever Dispose a Object In A Form From Another Form Make Sure All The Child Class Objects Relevant To That Object Are Closed.

for (int index = Application.OpenForms.Count - 1; index >= 0; index--)
{
if (Application.OpenForms[index].Name == "Your Form Name")
{
Application.OpenForms[index].Close();//To Close
}
else if (Application.OpenForms[index].Name == "Your Form Name")
{
Application.OpenForms[index].Hide();//To Hide
}
else if (Application.OpenForms[index].Name == "Your Form Name")
{
Application.OpenForms[index].Show();//To Show
}
}
