I'm not sure that the Member class should not be able to perform some simple higher-level abstraction utilities. If the actions are solely meaningful to the member class, then there is no problem in implementing them in that class.
For example, LastOnline and CheckExpiryDate might be only meaningful to the member class. Thus it would be reasonable to implement it in that class, even if its a higher level abstraction. Particularly, I would implement the CheckExpiryDate() as a boolean property HasExpired (question of tastes here  ).
On the other hand, more general functionality like UpdateWithInputFromWebForm might be a more general utility that might be meaningful to more objects than Member instances and should be implemented in a Utility class. My first design wouldnt be valid anyhow, as the Utility class should not be strongly typed to the Member class, and the update could and should be done in a generalize way (again with Reflection through a Dictionary collection: property name - new value for example u could acheive this)
To make it short, what I always try to do is isolate all DB Management from the real objects I'm using in my application. In your original design, your Member class was implementing the DB update logic too, and I think thats where I would change the abstraction of the objects. Implementing the utility class depends again on how complicated your app is really going to be, but I dont think implementing high level abstractions in the Member class is a design fault if those utilities are only applicable to the Member class.
I think we need some second view about this, so any more suggestions are welcome

There's a new possibility in the System.IO that is accesing to Port Coms: System.IO.Ports, I'm not good with delegates and I'm trying to make a program that when receives a data from the serial port makes an event:
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
ptocom.ReceivedEvent +=new SerialReceivedEventHandler(ptocom_ReceivedEvent);<br />
}<br />
<br />
void ptocom_ReceivedEvent(object sender, SerialReceivedEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
SerialPort ptocom = new SerialPort("COM1", 9600, System.IO.Ports.Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One);<br />
string buffer = "j";<br />
ptocom.Open();<br />
ptocom.ReadTo(buffer);<br />
}
Thats all I could discover about using this new possibilities but It doesnt work, any Idea?

I think your problem is, that you subscribe your event handler during the handling of the Form.Load event, but the SerialPort object isn't created until button1_Click gets called or more likely is newly created there, cause otherwise the handler subscription would crash with null reference exception.
So your event handler isn't subscribed to the SerialPort object you create in click event handler and therefor doesn't fire, but to some instance created before the Form.Load event.

I'm a non expert programmer and well I'm making a program that reads from a file how many 'child' 'style1.cs' windows to open (gets a name for each one from it).
1.- So how can I create N windows 'style1.cs'?, I mean,
style1 c_1 = new style();
and being accesible for ALL the Form1 code when on_load, because if I put
public void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Read window number and name
style c_1 = new style();
//Read window number and name
style c_2 = new style();
}
it doesnt work.
1,5.- An embarrasing question, how can I made a for loop to do it with c_x?
2.- Can I made hierachy for 'style1' windows with the Form1 without MDI, because some things as moving it with non-border doesnt work. I mean, something like
c_1.Parent = this; //non MDI (written in Form1.cs)
...
int x= c_1.Parent.Location.X; //(written in 'child'.cs)
NOTE: I dont want to use FindWindow AND because FindWindow cant be never a solution for the same program, and other, I'm sure that there is a new function in c# in some System... to do that.
Thanks for reading,

i made new form named form1
inside i added label1
and panel1
inside the panel i made dynamic CONTROLBOXES each is abutton ( i mean add some buttons with small loop)
i wand to hide label when click event occurs on one of the buttons
Label.visible = off
this on the click event gives me the controlBox not the form
this is the main problem.
please help me how can i know who is the father of button and who is the father of panel ???
(do i have to sent this (of the form) for each button ??

Where did you define the event handler for the Click event? If it's defined inside your form1 class, the this keyword should give you access to the current instance of form1.
Anyway, to get the parent container of a control simply use its Parent property.

Hi, everyone!
Does anyone know about speed up programs or sometimes calles speed hack for games? I just want know how makes a such program. Could someone explain the basic concept?
|

There are some programs that claim to improve performance. None of them work. Windows knows how to manage memory properly to get the best performance. The basic concept of a "performance booster" app is to move memory around so that you have more physical memory available. Although this might help once in a while you'll get bottlenecks when you switch to a different app that has been transfered to the PF. So basically its best to leave everything to Windows and design your apps to perform well in the first place.

Thanks Alex. How about some programs that makes your applications "faster". For example speedhack programs that makes your games run faster: hit faster, run faster.

I think your talking about "trainers"? Good luck, cause what your doing is poking numbers directly into the memory space of the game itself. There are no document (from a reliable source, anyway) that will teach you how to do this. It's sort of a black art that you figure out on your own.

Well, it's not a trainer exactly. It just speed up your application. This is the program example http://www.speederxp.com/en/ .

Don't believe everything you read. This will not give you the kind of performance kick that they would lead you to believe. You'll get, MAYBE, a 5% boost in some apps. There's only so much you can do with what's in memory. The CPU will not execute instructions any faster, and it only tweaks some settings for network communications that reduce the wasted bandwidth, which is already small to begin with. The only way you'll notice any performance gain there is if your using dial-up. Cable modem users won't see any pickup at all.
Also, notice nobody has a full review of this software?

Hi,
just assume for one second there really where programs which would make a windows pc overall faster. Wont you think Microsoft would buy it for 547 Quatillion Dollars to integrate it into the standard windows? 
And I think there is a difference between normal accelerators and speed hacks for games (although they can be bundled in one program). By the second one I understand a program which alters the normal behaviour of a program. One example: A game restricts you to only shoot once a second. This could be done by not handling key events in this given timespan. A speed hack program could now handle the keystroke and directly make the game do the fire command. This can be done even better for online games where not the server controls those things but the client app. The hack tool just needs to send the right commands to the server (without having to tackle with the client).

Hi,
I need to convert the VB.Net application to C#.Any ideas how to do it. Anybody tried using the convertors available to do this job or one writes an app from scratch.
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure that SharpDevelop has a VB.NET to C# code converter in it and also I think it has a converter that does the opposite.
http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/[^]
I hope this helps.
Happy Programming and may God bless!

We produce converters going both ways:
Instant C#: VB.NET to C#
Instant VB: C# to VB.NET
Download our free Demo Edition and try it out. We provide full support for our Demo Edition.
Our converters typically convert over 99% of original lines successfully (99.98% on published Microsoft samples).

I have a situation where I am utilizing code from MSDN to insert XLS files into a Microsoft Access Table in a column of Ole Object using VBA and DAO. That code also provides me with a method to extract the XLS files later. This works wonderfully.
The Article is 103257, ACC: Reading, Storing, & Writing Binary Large Objects (BLOBs) http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/oledb/htm/oledbaccessing_blob_data.asp
I next transfer that data to a Dataset and then to SQL Server. I found the following articles on MSDN which show how to insert and extract BLOB data using Visual C#.
The Articles are
317016 How to read and write a file to or from a BLOB column by using ADO.NET and Visual C# .NET http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;317016
and
317043 How to read and write a file to and from a BLOB column by using chunking in ADO.NET and Visual C# .NET http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317043
These work on extracting XLS files which were previously inserted using C# but fail to extract readable copies from the XLS files previously inserted via VBA.
Things I have noticed.
1. The OLE Object size in Access is twice the size of the original file.
2. When the OLE Object is extracted using VBA-DAO, the file size is back to that of the original file.
2. The OLE Object size in Access is equal to the BLOB size in SQL Server.
3. When the BLOB is extracted via C# from SQL Server, the extracted file size matches the BLOB size exactly.
Please Help!
Does VBA-DAO and OLE Objects included some sort of encoding on insertion which I must replicate C#?

How do I find out the version number of a .NET DLL from within that DLL?
I tried:
<br />
Assembly a = Assembly.GetAssembly(this.GetType()); <br />
<br />
object[] attrs = a.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyVersionAttribute), true);<br />
AssemblyVersionAttribute aVersion = (AssemblyVersionAttribute)(attrs[0]);
But GetCustomAttributes returns an empty array

The AssemblyVersionAttribute Class[^] isn't a custom attribute. In order to get the version information (usually as a Version[^] object) you have to use the AssemblyName.Version[^] property. And if a method is supposed to retrieve the version of its own assembly you can use Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()[^] to get the assembly and Assembly.GetName()[^] to get the AssemblyName object.
public string Version()
{
return Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString();
}

An application, written using Visual Studios 2002 .NET, everything works perfectly. Recently, I migrated all of the code into Visual Studios 2003 .NET (built a new project and imported files.)
This is a windows C# application, by the way.
On the live machines, the application is experiencing very strange behavior. For instance:
- Custom buttons not placing correctly
- Handlers being fired more than once
- Concurrency violation errors
- Objects being disposed at the wrong time
On my development machine, I'm seeing some of the issues, but not all of them. I am not getting the concurrency violation or mis-fired handlers on my development machine, but I am seeing the buttons not placed correctly and objects sometimes disposed of at the wrong time. I tried running the application on a separate development machine, and it also gave me the same behavior as my first development machine.
None of these issues occurred when the application was compiled and run using visual studios 2002 .NET. I have checked and double-checked the environments between the live and development machines, and the .NET Framework is the same version (1.1.4322) and the .exe files are identical. There are no additional dependencies other than an Access DB file.
Thanks for the help!!

You can correct your connection string by using '\\' instead of '\' or start the string like: @"server...
