Question

I have a sql database that is written to on a daily basis by some c# code, which contains stock information on a particular date.

Fields: StockCode, NumberOfHolders, Value, Date

Each day there is a new record added to the database with a date stamp.

I need to be able to create a list which is in the following format;

         date1   date2   date3
 stock1   100     104      110
 stock2   105     100      99 
 stock3   150     150      80 

etc.

However, this list would seems to have to be dynamic, as the fields would change, depending on the number of dates in the system for each stock.

So I could not use a class such as;

private class Stocks: ExcelReport
{
  public String StockCode { get; set; }
  public Double TotalQtyHeld { get; set; }
  public Double TotalValueOfStock { get; set; }
  public DateTime Date { get; set; }
}

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Answer 1

Couldn’t you create a class that can hold the dates and values like this:

private class StockValue
{
  public Double TotalQtyHeld { get; set; }
  public Double TotalValueOfStock { get; set; }
  public DateTime Date { get; set; }
}

private class Stocks: ExcelReport
{
  public String StockCode { get; set; }
  public IList<StockValue> Values {get;set;}
}
