Unhandled exception

frankgt40 · October 5th, 2010, 03:36 AM

I was trying the expression Int32::Parse(in Page 107) in C++/CLI console program, however before I input an integer the system reminds that(in the command windows): Unhandled excepion: System.FormatExceprion....ect.
Below is my code:

//Calculating the price of carpet
#include "stdafx.h"

using namespace System;

int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
{
char ch = Console::Read();
Console::WriteLine(L"The character is:{0}",ch); //Why these two things
// //putting together
Console::Write(L"Enter an integer:"); //cause error???
int value = Int32::Parse(Console::ReadLine());
Console::WriteLine(L"You entered:{0}",value);

return 0;
}
Please give your help, thanks!

I have encountered this also. My understanding is that after the first read is finished, a '\n' will remain in the input buffer. This creates a problem for the ReadLine, and results in the exception. A scheme for dealing with that is:

Code:

// p2p_question_5oct2010.cpp : main project file.

#include "stdafx.h"

using namespace System;

int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
{
    Console::WriteLine(L"Hello World");


	char ch = Console::Read();
	Console::WriteLine(L"The character is:{0}",ch); //Why these two things
                                                                        //putting together 
	for(int i = 0; i<10; i++)	// flush input buffer
	{
		if( Console::Read() == '\n')
			break;
	}

	Console::Write(L"Enter an integer:");              //cause error???
	int value = Int32::Parse(Console::ReadLine());
	Console::WriteLine(L"You entered:{0}",value);

    return 0;
}

This runs without the exception. See http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread301503.html for additional information.
