Hello Guys,
I have a requirement to create a windows service which will hit the database on a regular interval to check the record count of a table. This service wud be running on a remote server. When ever there is a increment in the record count, the service has to notify the user.
There wud be an application running on the client system which wud accept the message coming from the service and display it as a pop-up on the desktop. Message communication wud always be from server to client only. Server application is a windows service and the client application wud be windows forms.
I was able to create windows service which hits the DB and checks the count. I’m struck up with sending the message to the client system. I’m not sure abt using socket programming v/s Remoting to achieve this task as this is the first time I’m trying this sort of App.
So any kind of info would be of gr8 help. And thanks a lot of ur patience to read this lengthy mail

It's fairly simple to do this using remoting. Host a remote object (Singleton) in your service and make it expose an event. Make the Winforms client subscribe to the event and you are ready to go. Watch out for this[^] though, might cause endless grief if you don't do it.

The script timeout is normally about a minute. If the page code is running longer than that, it will time out and send the error message to the browser. If you specify a longer script timeout for the page, it won't time out.

Could anyone please help me out as to how we can save the excel workbook in the database and read it back anytime we want.
I was able to convert the text files and image files into binary format and save them to the DB and finally able to retrive them back in the same format. But was unable to do same for the excel object.

If i set the transparent colour of my form to lime green then put a custom control on my form with a lime green background is makes a "hole" in my form with the non lime elements floating in the void.
But what i want it to do is just not show the parts of that control that are lime and draw the base form behind the control where the lime overlays it. So basicly the control and control alone becomes transparent in places leaving the main form intact.
Is there a way to do this?

Ok after having trawled for hours before i made the above post and having caried on for over an hour i found a way of doing what i wanted 
But i cant stand that i dont know why it works:
Here is the code... i can understand why you override the background painting but the other 2 methods i just dont get:
<br />
protected override void OnPaintBackground(PaintEventArgs pevent)<br />
{<br />
}<br />
protected override CreateParams CreateParams<br />
{<br />
get<br />
{<br />
CreateParams cp = base.CreateParams;<br />
cp.ExStyle |= 0x20;<br />
return cp;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
protected override void OnMove(EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
RecreateHandle();<br />
}
If any can explain it to me that would be great
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not sure what RecreateHandle(); is pointing to for the OnMove override but it seems to me that overriding the OnPaintBackground method and not calling the original Base.OnPaintBackground should case the application to just not ever paint the background. Is that what you're wanting?
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks again  but i figered out what the OnPaintBackground was doing for the program as that was my first route of enquiry when trying to pull this off.... BUT on its own it just leaves the background as a black void.... it was the two other elements that where puzzling me as they seem to make it work but i just dont know why

I'm looking for a function to check if 2 lines intersect.
There are a few key factors to this.
The project I am working on involves navigating around polygons by moving from vertex to vertex, but only to vertex's it can move in a straight line to without intersecting other lines. I've found a few functions online, except they always find an intersection ON the vertex, which I can't have, and they find an intersection when moving from 1 vertex to the other on the same polygon, parallel lines, which is an allowed move.
Thanks
Note - The project involves the intersect check, but that isn't the project, the project is to test AI algorithms to compare the results.
(he's provided some Dr. Scheme code http://skipjack.cs.wwu.edu/~gmatth/index.html that does it, that I can't quite figure out how to convert to C# though I know the function I need to translate is (define intersect-lines?)

let's call your segment AB and CD, and let's use underline as vector notation.
let's compute intersection!
you should solve a & b so that
A + a AB = C + b CD
=>
a AB - b CD = C - D = DC
very simple a * Num1 + b * Num2 = Num3 set of equations. In N dimensional space (N>2) it might have no solution (=> no intersection).
and now, the segments (instead of just the line) intersect if
0 <= a <= 1 && 0 <= b <= 1
Next time try not to sleep during geometry lesson.... 
(You could sleep during philosophy lessons, instead  )

How are you all in this great and awesome website for microsoft developers.
I need to know a way to convert my C# code into its equivalent .Asm file and hexidecimal format and store it in .Hex file any one knows how to do so ? is there any class or any win32 function to do so ?please refer to me please.

No there isn't. C# never compiles to .ASM code. It compiles to MSIL only. The MSIL code is compiled into native processor code (or ASM if you wish) on-the-fly, when it is called. There is no application (AFAIK) or API function that will do what you want. I don't see what use this could be, so it begs the question, why would you want to do this?

how are you my friend i just want to do so in robotics.
My friend . i have one more question?
If you clicked start----> run and you typed the command
ymsgr:sendim?matrix_623
if your messenger is already open it will open for you a private chat window?
My question is how could this be done? how can i add my own shell command ? i know may be through registry but which one and how ?

Then use a language more appropriate for the hardware controller that is manipulating the machine. C# will not compile down to what you want.

Your application must be able to detect that it is already running (search the articles for "single instance application"). Also, your application must expose an interface so a second instance of your app that gets launched can pass parameters to the first instance. Just search the articles and you'll find a few examples.

Hi everyone,
this is not really a programming question, but as I made some thoughts about cloning my objects I had an idea and just want to hear some comments on it.
Normally when a class should be cloneable it implements ICloneable like this:
public class TestClass : ICloneable {
public object Clone() {
}
}
The nasty thing about this is that everybody who calls Clone will have to do a cast afterwards (assuming the caller wants to do something with the result where object doesn't help).
Do avoid this one could just forget ICloneable and make a typed Clone method:
public class TestClass {
public TestClass Clone() {
}
}
Sadly this isn't an option for me because at some places in my code I have an ArrayList which holds objects of several different classes which I all have to clone.
So I came to the idea to instead combine the two methods and do the following:
public class TestClass : ICloneable {
object ICloneable.Clone() {
return this.Clone();
}
public TestClass Clone() {
}
}
So now when I use a variable of type TestClass the Clone method will return TestClass, but I can use it also as an ICloneable where I get an object (Truly also having the type TestClass but unknown to the caller).
So what are your thoughts about it? I think this casting problem when using Clone is relatively widespread, but why is everybody using (I refer to the framework and some 3rd party components) just the naiv method?
PS: Why is the result of ICloneable.Clone an object and not ICloneable? I thought the intention of this interface was that the result should be some kind of deep copy of the object and should always have the same type...

If only C# supported Covariant[^] return types, then your problem would go away. You'll be able to return TestClass and still implement ICloneable.Clone.

ICloneable.Clone clones an object, so why should it return ICloneable?

This is happening because you closed the startup form for your application.
For example, the common misconception is that a splash screen can be the startup form for an application. You can't do this. When the startup form closes, it takes the application's message pump with it, closing down the entire application.
The startup form of your app should be the main form your application uses for the builk of it's user interface. Any other forms are created, in a heirarchy, from this form and displayed. You can NOT transfer the application's message pump from form to form.
