No - sorry  - was not able to easily do this.
As this was for a work initiative I bought Cadlib from Woutware- the cost of my time was worth more that the purchase price.

Hi
In the following code, I am trying to compare the type of object in obj variable with type of typeInt.
int typeInt=0;
int a = 1;
object obj;
obj = (object) a;
if (typeInt.GetType() == obj.GetType())
{
MessageBox.Show("Int returned");
}
I want to make sure if this is the correct way to do it. If not, how else I compare types of two objects?
Please advice. Thanks
Pankaj

What exactly do you want?
1. Compare the types of two variables? If yes your solution seems good.
2. If you just want to check whether obj is of type int use the following:
if (obj.GetType() == typeof(int))
3. If you want to check if obj can be casted to some special type:
if (obj is int)

Hi all,
This may be a very easy or a basic doubt, but I am really struggling with this over some time. I am new to the Microsoft Visual Editor, C Sharp and stuff like this. Comming to my problem, I have a weird problem of the program running neatly when I run from the Editor, but show some errors while I run from the command line.
I have a project which accesses the methods of another project. I added the reference, the .dll file, also did the 'using' 'Namespace' of the other project. It excecutes properly and the application starts in the editor, but when I do it from the command line, it says
Form1.cs(13,7): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'StaticServer' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
where 'StaticServer' is the namespace.
which is not there when I run it from the editor. Do I ahve to do something inaddition when I run frm the command line like build the other project first and things like that?
Kindly help.

How are you compiling it from the command line? Are you using the makefile generated by Visual Studio or are you directly using the C# compiler?
If you are using the C# compiler, you need to use the /r switch to refer to the dll(s) which you added as a reference in Visual Studio.

Hi Senthil,
Thank You very much. I am using the C# Compiler.
As you said "If you are using the C# compiler, you need to use the /r switch to refer to the dll(s) which you added as a reference in Visual Studio."
What does the /r mean? And how and where can I refer to the dll of the added reference in the Visual Studio? Do you mean, I have to add the reference at the command line also, using this /r switch? If so, can you please tell me where I can get more tutorial on this, or if you could be generous enough to take some time off to elucidate this concept.
Thank You,
Sowmya Mulukutla,

Hi there
I would really appreciate some code on how to capture a picture using a webcam and also storing this picture in a database eg.MS Access.I am really struggling to get this going.

I believe there is a codeproject article on this very thing if you search. As far as storing things in a database, there is also a lot of material on doing this; basically it involves serializing the image into a byte[], then storing that byte[] as data type binary or data type image in the database.

I often use static for my function (in n-tier projects) but i see that almost others projects do not use static, they use public for their functions. I don't know what's the weak point of static functions, can someone helps me?
Thanks!
|
|
|
|
|
The public keyword is an access modifier controlling access to that member, where as the static keyword causes the member to become part of the type rather than bound to a specific object. You might find the information in the C# Programmer's Reference on the public[^] keyword and static[^] keyword helpful as well.
|
|
|
|
|
In my opinion there is nothing wrong with static functions. Just be sure not to use them too much. Otherwise you wont need an object oriented language 
In daily programming I declare all functions static which are not accessing/modifying any class fields.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah! I think that the point! Acctually, i can set all my functions in my class to be static. But in that case my project is not object oriented anymore
I thinks maybe i should reset some functions to be public (may be Insert function to be public and add some properties to my class).
Thanks a lot!

I am debugging a C# service that opens a file from a folder in the bin/debug folder. I was having issues opening this file and when I finally could get the debugger attached to the process, it wasn't finding the path.
The background of this app is that it started as a console application that worked perfectly. Then the powers that be decided to make it a Windows service.
I finally put in a quick variable to get the path and found out that the path (C:\Windows\Application\Scripts) is prefaced by "@file:\C:\Windows\Application\Scripts".
Is the "file:\" there because of debugging or is that the way the service works in getting it's path?
Any help is much appreciated.

Here's the solution I was able to trace down.
System.Reflection.Module[] modules = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetModules();<br />
<br />
string m_ScriptPath = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName (modules[0].FullyQualifiedName);<br />
<br />
if ((m_ScriptPath != "") && (m_ScriptPath[m_ScriptPath.Length-1] != '\\'))<br />
{<br />
m_ScriptPath += '\\';<br />
}
Enjoy!

can i detect using code if a connection to the internet is available (preferably without using timers)
|
|
|
|
|
Perhaps you can try a WebRequest/WebResponse. Additionally, System.Windows.Forms.SystemInformation.Network will tell you if a network connection is present.
I'm sure there are many ways to do this, you might want to search around CodeProject as I'm certain this has been asked many times before.

i have a small problem. I want to add a fucntionality to my application in which users can drag and .exe file from any window into my form and i can find out the path and icon of the application and add it to my app.

For getting the icon of files dropped on your app, see the CodeProject article here[^].
For getting the path of files dropped on your app, see this article[^].
Next time you might want to try searching CodeProject or google before posting. That way you'll get an immediate answer and we won't have to post duplicate answers in the forum.

I need help finding out if the user of my program is using Service Pack 2 or not. I tried a spot in registry, but found out that if you uninstall SP2 this registry key stays and the program still says you have SP2. Any help would be great.

Have you looked as the Environment class and its OSVersion property?

As Dave previously mentioned, Environment.OSVersion will contain the name of the service pack, if any. Additionally, in .NET 2.0, the service pack can be accessed directly using Environment.OSVersion.ServicePack.

I understood you could mix languages. I created 1 solution with 2 projects with the following code:
C# routine:
using System;<br />
<br />
namespace CSServer {<br />
class CSServer {<br />
<br />
#region Application Start<br />
<br />
static public void Enter_CSServer() <br />
{<br />
int tmp;<br />
Console.WriteLine("Hello World (C#)");<br />
Do_Call_Back("Hello from the CS side", &tmp);<br />
Console.WriteLine("Value={0}",tmp);<br />
} <br />
#endregion<br />
<br />
} <br />
}
CPP Routine: (startup project)
<br />
#include "stdafx.h"<br />
<br />
#using <mscorlib.dll><br />
<br />
using namespace System;<br />
<br />
<br />
int _tmain()<br />
{<br />
Console::WriteLine(S"Hello World(CPP)");<br />
<br />
Enter_CSServer();<br />
<br />
Console::WriteLine(S"Goodbye Cruel World (CPP)");<br />
return 0;<br />
}<br />
int Do_Call_Back(char *str, int *value)<br />
{<br />
Console::WriteLine(str);<br />
*value = 1;<br />
return(1);<br />
}I get routine-not-found on Enter_CSServer and Do_Call_Back.
The real problem is much bigger but this gets the essance.

Interesting. Both projects reference each other, I've never done that as I've always kept a heirarchy between projects so there aren't any circular references.
Anyway, you need to reference one project in the other and add the appropriate using statements at the top of the code.
However, because there seems to be a circular reference it might not permit you to do that.
