Re: Getting CMYK colors from bmp - C# Discussion Boards

Well, I'm glad I have been able to be of some slight assistance so far. I was happy to see in the other thread (MSDE 2000) some of the same information we've been talking about.

So what it looks like you may have to do at this point is try to log in using an administrator password. The default administrator user name is "sa" and the default password is usually blank, "sa", or "password". I hope you changed that during installation, but if you didn't, then you can try one of those suggestions. Once you log in as an administrator, you may want to set up some logins right away, such as the ComputerName\Administrators group with full privileges.

I really feel bad for you that you are working with MSDE as your first experience working with SQL Server, because although the engine is great and powerful, there is no graphical help and you have to do everything using SQL Commands. Larger ramp-up time than normal. The good news is there's very comprehensive documentation called SQL Server Books On-Line at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/tsqlref/ts_tsqlcon_6lyk.asp?frame=true[^] which gives you syntax for all the SQL Queries you could ever wish to do.

Let's take a SQL Server Authentication example:

Add the login 'SusanH' to the SQL Server instance
EXEC sp_addlogin 'SusanH', 'SusanHsPassword'

Give 'SusanH' some permissions

GRANT CREATE DATABASE, CREATE TABLE<br />
TO SusanH

Now let's look at a Windows Authentication example:

Grant permissions to an existing domain account
EXEC sp_grantlogin 'MyDomain\SusanH' -or-
EXEC sp_grantlogin 'MyComputerName\SusanH'

I'm not completely sure if these are proper samples that will work, however I think you get the idea and can take it from here by looking through the transact-sql reference documentation. They give the syntax for the statements at the top, examples at the bottom, and links to 'see also' topics.

Good luck.

Layers?

If you want to convert RGB to CMYK then try to search the rather old site:
www.google.com and you'll find it in a sec, try the words rgb cmyk conversion algorithm formula or something alike.

BTW, the correct formula should be:

C = 1.0 - R
M = 1.0 - G
Y = 1.0 - B
K = min(C, M, Y)

CORRECTION: R, G, B values must converted to 'float'.
For example 255 = 1.0, 127 ~ 0.5
Use this: FloatValue = R(or G or B) / 255.

I think the different formulas perform better and worse, the quality of the colors is redused with the conversion and the complex one's isn't losing as much quality as the others, I think.

Yes, I believe it too. After a google search, I have noticed that each software house uses different formuals. The ones I've posted are used by Adobe for the PDF format.

Try to download the PDF specifications (1300 pages or so!!!) from the Adobe site. Unfortunately I don't remember the exact link.

Hello

Yes, Niklas is right. There is no any conversion classes from RGB to CMYK in .NET. So, the only way is to get conversion formulas from google and use them by yourself.

Enterprise Library Data Block - ExecuteNonQuery method with rows affected as return value

Member 106086631-Aug-05 4:14

31-Aug-05 4:14

I am using Data Application Block of June 2005 version of enterprise library. I am able to use the executeNonQuery method which is given in the quick starts.
string sqlCommand = "USP_U_ChangeUserPassword";
Database db = DatabaseFactory.CreateDatabase();
DBCommandWrapper commandWrapper = db.GetStoredProcCommandWrapper(sqlCommand);
commandWrapper.AddInParameter("@password", DbType.String, password);
db.ExecuteNonQuery(commandWrapper)

But this way we will not get the number of affected rows.

I tried to use the overloaded ExecuteNonQuery() which returns affected rows
eg,
string sqlCommand = "spChangeName";
Database db = DatabaseFactory.CreateDatabase();

SqlParameter[] arParams = new SqlParameter[2];
SqlParameter param1 = new SqlParameter("@FName", DbType.String);
param1.Value = "Johnson22";
arParams[0] = param1;
SqlParameter param2 = new SqlParameter("@LName", DbType.String);
param2.Value = "White";
arParams[1] = param2;
int affectedRows = db.ExecuteNonQuery("spChangeName", arParams);

But this is throwing the following error
Failed to convert parameter value from a SqlParameter to a string.

Please provide me a solution for this issue

I do not have an answer to your question. However, I would like to suggest to you the Enterprise Library home on GotDotNet where they have a message forum, and they break it down by block.

I'm wondering if you can access RowsAffected of the command wrapper, and if that would properly give you back the rows affected.

<br />
...<br />
Database db = DatabaseFactory.CreateDatabase();<br />
DBCommandWrapper commandWrapper = db.GetStoredProcCommandWrapper(sqlCommand); <br />
commandWrapper.AddInParameter("@password", DbType.String, password); <br />
db.ExecuteNonQuery(commandWrapper);<br />
<br />
int rowsAffected = commandWrapper.RowsAffected;<br />

I haven't tried this myself, so I'm sorry if I'm looking in the wrong direction.

FYI

I think the reason your second example did not work was because you were trying to pass in a SqlParameter array into db.ExecuteNonQuery, whereas looking at the constructor for it, it looks like it's asking for an object array of the actual values, not the parameters:

public virtual int ExecuteNonQuery(string storedProcedureName, params object[] parameterValues)

So I would guess that your second code sample should be something like:

string storedProcName = "spChangeName";<br />
Database db = DatabaseFactory.CreateDatabase();<br />
<br />
int affectedRows = db.ExecuteNonQuery(storedProcName, "Johnson22", "White");<br />

Hi all. I've been using C#.net for about 6 months and love it. I have several projects that I would like to roll under one project. Now, while I understand how to import the projects in to my main project, I am having a hard time calling those project forms from my main form menu and I also get an error that my main form and the other project forms have multiple entry points.

Can someone please help me understand this quandry and help me find a solution? I'm sure you genius' out there know how to fix this and are grinning as you read this.

You have a solution file (.sln) that contains multiple projects files (.csproj).

For one project to call some object in another project, you need to right-click on the project's references in Visual Studio and Add Reference to the other project. Then you'll be able to call any object in the project you just added a reference to.

As for multiple entry points, that's the compiler telling you that several of your projects contain a "static void Main" method, which is always the entry point for an executable. You can only have one static void main per project.

Hi Barbar,

if you create a common windows application, Microsoft Visual Studio create a project with one Form. And this form has a static Method Main. This Main is the entry point for your Application (the first called Method). All you have to do is to make sure that you have exactly one static Main method.
For instance, create a new class and add a static Main method and delete all others Mains.

It's unimportant where you define your Main method.

You can write somthing like

SqlDataAdapter adabter=new SqlDataAdapter("Select id_car,car,id_city from table1","Your connection string");
DataTable dt=new DataTable("tableName");
adabter.Fill(dt);
textBox1.DataBindings.Add("Text",dt,"id_car");

other control like datagrid have Datasource property
which you can use it to display data in the datagrid
for more info look at
ADO.NET Overview[^]
Note:
if you use database other than sql server use its data provider classes

I have the following code below to send an email. It works 100%. So I have no problem with that at all. However, if I comment out the message.Body section, and uncomment the other message.Body section, this code will no longer send out an email, and I have no idea why. Can anyone explain this?

string body = "18";

SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "192.168.0.2";
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
message.To = "ray@email.co.za";
message.From = "test@email.co.za";
message.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Text;
message.Subject = subject;//"New Accident Management report on Risk Management Website";
message.Body = "http://localhost/riskmanagement/customer.aspx?refNumber=" + body;
//message.Body = "http://" + HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host + "/RiskManagement.Presentation.WebSite/AccidentManagement/AccidentMaintenance.aspx?refNumber=" + body;

Stick a breakpoint in, and check that HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host returns something sensible - that might be what's confusing it
