What is an easy way to make a program that opens a port on a server and waits for a client to ask for information. How do I do that client part as well? Can your method send both text and numbers?

I figured it out, you use the TcpListener, and the TcpClient.

new thread for new form

I want to open a new form in a Windows Application in C# in its own thread. The form has a constructor that takes some parameters (always). The form updates a Flexgrid upon events fired from a live datafeed. The updates can happen quite often and I may have multiple forms open at once with multiple updates happening at once. I have tried to start a new thread, but does not appear to keep the whole form in a new thread.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

How can you capture the logon and log off event in windows xp.
I am creating a windows service that needs to do something when a user logs on to their account in xp and logs off from their account. It would be good if I can capture their Username as well so I know who is logging on and off. Big Grin | :-D

Check out the SystemInformation namespace for information about the pc and user.

if statements with a string?

I'm trying to take a numeric value from a textBox and compare it against another numeric value that is supplied by the app, but i'm stuk trying to convert the string value of the textBox1.Text to int value for the if statement, i keep recieveing the following errors:
Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'bool'
Cannot implicitly convert type 'int' to 'string'

here is the code:

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
	string myID;
		TextBox txtbx = new TextBox();
			txtbx.Text = myID; 
			if (myID = 123)
				MessageBox.Show("You are right");
			
		}

I've tried changing the string myID to int myID but it hasn't proven any better, as i get the same errors listed above with int to bool, and int to string as the only difference.

also i'm getting a slightly less important error of:
Use of unassigned local variable 'myID' which i understand means i haven't initiated the variable, but its failing inside the if statement.
I'm still learning so if you guys could help it would be great.
thanks

You are assigning myID with the value of 123 in this if statement. Are you sure this is what you want?

If you want to compare with 123, then it should be

if(myID == "123")

well the truth of the matter is that in the end the desired result will be to pull the data from either a db or assign a solid value at a later date, right now i was just trying to get the unit to run.

thanks for the quotes..... that worked.
any ideas on the "Use of unassigned local variable 'myID'" ?

This is because you had declare the variable myID and used it without assigning any value to it such as this

txtbx.Text = myID;

Since myID has not been assigned any value, txtbx.Text would therefore have an unknown value/type which can be dangerous.

If you want to compare a string with a number you should convert the string at first.See the following code :

if(intValue == int.Parse(textBoxText))
{...}

A friend had wrote that you can use the if statement as if (txtbx=="123")... this is axactly true and there is anoher way to convert your variable MyID. you can do it like this:

Convert.ToInt32(txtbx.Text)...

but there is and issue here, at the beginning you must define your variable as integer. if you define a string variable and then if you try to assign it to integer variable you will have the similar problems.

Good Luch on your work. i hope you will be succesfull... Smile | :)

I would like to figure out the best way to add a DatePicker to a webform. I am currently just have a button on the webform. When the button is pressed, I would like the Calendar to popup. I also have the calendar inside of a div. I am not quite sure how to make the calendar show up when the button is clicked.

Try setting the panel's AutoScroll property to true. I hope this helps.

Events when Deleting Tree View Nodes?

11-Jul-05 12:18

I've just been working on a custom multiple select tree control (the ones here at TCP did not satisfy the requirements) and I'm running into a problem. I maintain a hash table of selected nodes and everything is hunky-dory until I start deleting nodes from the underlying TreeView "Nodes" TreeNodeCollection. A client could knock a selected node (node in the selection table) out of that collection and I'd have no way to tell my class to remove the node from the selection table.

Is there some event to listen in on for this? I could write some methods in my custom TreeView class like 'remove node' or something, and make a big note in the comments that future clients need to use that... but that's not good enough for me.

Any suggestions??

Use HttpWebRequest To send POST HTTP request to a web server

hi!
i want to send a POST HTTP Request to a Web Server!

Here i got some information:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/debx8sh9(en-us,vs.80).aspx[^]

my problem is: how can i send such a POST Request, with the JSESSIONID from the GET Response before and the POST Data!?

<br />
POST /webkeeper/Controller HTTP/1.1<br />
Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/x-shockwave-flash, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/msword, application/x-gsarcade-launch, */*<br />
Referer: https://www.myzone.at/webkeeper/Controller?action=Login&brand=myzone<br />
Accept-Language: de-at<br />

<br />
action=login&login=Anmelden&brand=myzone&username=****&password=****&x=50&y=13<br />

-> the username and password i dont want to show here, thats the reason for the letters: *****

the JSESSIONID i got from a GET HTTP Response:

<br />
HttpWebRequest request1 = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://www.myzone.at/webkeeper/Controller");<br />
request1.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();<br />
        <br />
HttpWebResponse response1 = (HttpWebResponse) request1.GetResponse();<br />
response1.Cookies = request1.CookieContainer.GetCookies(request1.RequestUri);<br />
			<br />
Console.WriteLine ("HTTP/" + response1.ProtocolVersion + " " + response1.StatusDescription);<br />
Console.WriteLine (response1.Headers.ToString());<br />
<br />
String sessionid = "Set-Cookie: ";<br />
sessionid += response1.Cookies[0].ToString();<br />

DataGrid cell to span two columns?

Can someone tell me how a cell within a datagrid can be created or modified to span more then one column, like HTML's 'colSpan' ("Column Span")?

Here's what I'm trying to do:

Column Header 1 | Column Header 2
---------------------------------
Data 1 goes here| Data 2 goes here
---------------------------------
Data 3 goes in this wide cell
---------------------------------

Thanx.

I have a small quiz-like thing, with 30 Q's but you only do 10 each time you take the quiz.

So to get random Q's im using Random() and switch().
But you dont want the same Q twice, so i could create a value for every question that changes when the Q is asked, but thats a bit of a pain.

Is there any easyer way to check whether a Q has been asked?

You could do random shuffle with questions, and then use them seqentionaly. This way, you'll get random order and won't ask same question twice.
