Hmmm...
Looks like that WebService debugging is VERY unreliable. Actually the code is executed correctly, just the debugger displays crap.
if I write
if (obj == null)
{
SomeStatement()
throw SomeException
}
it falsely executes the if, skips SomeStatement, executes SomeExcpetion, but doesn't actually throw it. That's f***ed if you ask me 
Rebuilding app / restarting IIS doesn't help. There are also countless other cases were wierd stuff happens. Normal C# debugging works perfect
Sigh, looks like we have many many service packs ahead of us until this works...
greetings,
Tim

Everytime my C# web service throws and unhadled exception the response is just terminated and the browser sees an empty web site. I would like the debugger to catch the exception just like in an normal app. Please note that debugging is working, breakpoints etc., just not catching of unhandled exceptions.
As you can imagine, this default behavior of VS.NET is *extemely* annoying and I just see no justification for it.
Also, I was wondering, shouldn't the .NET / SOAP runtime at least generate an error response to let the client know that an exception was thrown on the server ? I have sometimes seen a nice exception page, but it rarely appears. Having the debugger catch the exception or showing this page all the time would be great, how to archieve that ?
Thanks for your time,
Tim

Hi,
I would like to know whether we can connect to CORBA (IONA) or Mainframe DB2 from C# .net platform. We currently have a COM dll written in VC++ which connects to CORBA to call corba idl functions which uses roguewave library. And also the component talks to mainframe through DB2.
I have gone through the .net documentation, but could not find any article saying how to connect to CORBA from C# or DB2. Also, is it possible to use VC++ static libraries (.lib) in c#.
Thanks

Can somebody help me. 
I have the following line of code:
this.Text = String.Format( "Program {0:#}.{1:#}", ver.Major, ver.Minor );
Okay, what I don't understand is the use of ":#" in the substitution parameters. What's that good for?
And on a sidenote, why not just use regular string concatenation? Or is that because substitution parameters has some of the functionality of format specifier in C?
Thanks in advance
oh and remember: GO ANDE SEE __STAR WARS II__, it rocks, BIG TIME!!!

A very good article on what you are asking has just been posted by Tom Archer, here.
You can use string concatenation, but it is often easier to use String.Format since you can do various formating elements easily.

i download the screensaver project source codes in cp's "screensaver race",
when i open the sln,it has an item "web reference",
under the "web reference" lists a few files such as
"latest.wsdl,latest.disco,reference.map"!!
i want to know where do these files come from?
and what do these files do to the project?
i am a newbie in vs.net and web development.
so please give me some detailed explanations or give me some guide that i can find such resources.
thanks in advance!

Right click on your project in the Solution Explorer, choose Add Web Reference. Now in the top of the window that comes up type in http://www.codeproject.com/webservices/latest.asmx. Now press Enter so it loads the page then click "Add Reference".
Now you'll see a new entry under Web References titled codeproject.com.www, right click it choose rename, rename it to something more appropriate, such as codeProject. This name dictates what namespace the resulting classes will be placed into.
In the case of the CodeProject webservice the main class is LatestBrief, this class contains the methods needed to call the web service.
HTH,

thanks James!
but do you know where did the screensaver project use the LatestBrief class?
i see that the project linked with webresourceprovider.lib that is also in codeproject.com!
so what is the relation among "cp's webservices" and "webresourceprovider.lib" and the saver project itself!
anyone can give me some explain or hints!
thnaks in advance!

Our (Christian Graus and I) screensaver uses the LatestBrief class in the UpdateList() method of the Saver class. That method's sole purpose is to update the data that the screen saver displays.
WebResourceProvider is used by Rama Krishna's screensaver to perform a technique known as scraping, where you download a webpage, then pick out the bits you want. You'll have to refer to his article to see how he uses it.
Both the CP Web Service and the WebResourceProvider are utilities to get information from CodeProject into the screensaver.
Hope that clears up some of your questions,

How to run c# app on a win2000 machine without installing the framework? Is it possible? I heard something about compiling from the intermidiate language to the native using some kind of tools. How is this exactly done? Searched MSDN and could not find any info about this.
Thank you
vance

You'll need the runtime files:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/.netframesdk/Redist/1.0/W98NT42KMeXP/EN-US/dotnetredist.exe
Size: 19,7Mb

C# cannot be compiled to native code. To run C# applications you require the .NET Framework installed. Its a 20mb download from MS.
The only compiler in VS.NET to compile to native code is the C++ compiler. All the rest require the framework to run applications.

There is a tool to pre-JIT assemblies, but you still need to have all the framework stuff in order to even make use of that.

Hi' how are you.
I'm having some trouble with an ActiveX Control which i use in a project i'm working on.
The Control has a method like this:
Ax.GetCurrentImage(ref variant image, ref variant size)
Where the image parameter is supposed to return a bitmap.
And the size parameter returns the size of the bitmap.
I've tryed going in the direction of using a variable of the type System.Object, but that doesen't work.
If anyone has some ideas on how to attack this problem i would be grateful.
I'll try and post some more concrete code and error messages tomorrow when i get to work.

 Did you not use AxImp tool or use IDE to add the ActiveX control. Variants are automatically converted to objects.
|
|
|
|
|
Hi' and thanks for your reply.
Yes i did import the control with the AxImp tool.
The code that is giving me trouble is the following:
object bmp = new System.Object();
object size = new System.Object();
ax.GetBMP(ref bmp, ref size);
** pictureBox1.Image = (Bitmap)bmp;
** The exception gets thrown on this line, and sounds like this:
an unhandled exception of type System.InvalidCastException occured in WindowsApplication2.exe
Additional information: Specified cast is not valid.
The "blueprint" for the method looks like this:
ax.GetBmp(ref object vimage, ref object vsize)
And in the documentation for the ActiveX Control the two parameters of the GetBMP method is listed af Variant types.
Holding that together with this table from the framework SDK i guess the variant type is not completely supported:
TypeCode COM variant type
----------------------------------------
TypeCode.Empty --> VT_EMPTY
TypeCode.Object --> VT_UNKNOWN
TypeCode.DBNull --> VT_NULL
TypeCode.Boolean --> VT_BOOL
TypeCode.Char --> VT_UI2
TypeCode.Sbyte --> VT_I1
TypeCode.Byte --> VT_UI1
TypeCode.Int16 --> VT_I2
TypeCode.UInt16 --> VT_UI2
TypeCode.Int32 --> VT_I4
TypeCode.UInt32 --> VT_UI4
TypeCode.Int64 --> VT_I8
TypeCode.UInt64 --> VT_UI8
TypeCode.Single --> VT_R4
TypeCode.Double --> VT_R8
TypeCode.Decimal --> VT_DECIMAL
TypeCode.DateTime --> VT_DATE
TypeCode.String --> VT_BSTR
Not supported. --> VT_INT
Not supported. --> VT_UINT
Not supported. --> VT_ARRAY
Not supported. --> VT_RECORD
Not supported. --> VT_CY
Not supported. --> VT_VARIANT
Or am i just confused..
I hope to get some input back

Try to create an actual bitmap object and see if it works, like this:
Bitmap bmp = new System.Drawing.Bitmap();
int size = 0;
ax.GetBMP(ref bmp, ref size);
pictureBox1.Image = (Bitmap)bmp;

Bad luck.
when i use your suggestion:
Bitmap bmp = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(352, 288);
int size = 0;
axImage1.GetBMP(ref bmp, ref size);
pictureBox1.Image = (Bitmap)bmp;
I get the folowing error messages:
* The best overloaded method match for 'AxATLCAMIMAGELib.AxCamImage.GetBMP(ref object, ref object)' has some invalid arguments
* Argument '1': cannot convert from 'ref System.Drawing.Bitmap' to 'ref object'
* Argument '2': cannot convert from 'ref int' to 'ref object'
But thanks for your help.
Im not sure what i should do now...

I see that this problem is not yet solved.
What are you returning the Variant as VT_DISPATCH? Can you post a bit of implementation of your COM method GetImage.
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunatly i can't do that, as i didn't implement it, the control is supplied by the manufacturer of a camera.
The only documantation i have about it is the following:
GetBMP Method:
Description:
Returns the data and size of the current bitmap image.
Syntax:
CamImage.GetBMP Image, Size
Part Description
Image: Required. A variant containing the bitmap data.
Size: Required. Contains the size of the returned bitmap data.
Remarks:
Returns the data and size of the current bitmap image. The Display property has to be set to True when using the GetBMP method, otherwise the Jpeg images won’t be decompressed to bitmaps.
Example:
In this example a bitmap is captured with the GetBMP method and saved to a file.
Dim b As Variant
Dim Size As Variant
Dim a() As Byte
Call CamImage1.GetBMP(b, Size)
a() = b
Open "C:/Test.bmp" For Binary Access Write As #1
Put #1, , a()
Close #1
I hope this is helpfull!
I appreciate your help.

This is what you do
object bmp = new System.Object();
object size = new System.Object();
ax.GetBMP(ref bmp, ref size);
System.IO.MemoryStream ms = new System.IO.MemoryStream((byte[])bmp);
System.Drawing.Bitmap image = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(ms);

For those of you who've not seen it, I've uploaded part 1 of a chapter excerpt from my Inside C# book. This particular part is based on a topic I see frequently asked about - string handling in C# - and I believe covers many areas and issues not found in the online documentation and other texts.
Enjoy and please feel free to drop me a line regarding the article/chapter and even how it can be improved!
Cheers,
