I'm a C++ programmer about 2 years. My question is not about to solve a specific trouble. I'm being scared with the crescent growing of languages like C# and Java. What I would like to know of anyone is the following: These languages will definitely substitute C++? In any kind of market. I've readed some news that game industry are thiking to adopt a unique hardware(something like a setupbox) and develop games to it. The programming language I think, will occur the same. If this hardware have an virtual machine inside it, java and C# are natural choices to develop games.
so, what do you think about that?

Then you're posting in the wrong forum. This forum is for specific coding questions about C#

In certain areas. For Line of business applications Java and C# have practically shut out C++ already.
In games there is now the XNA framework for C#. That is just for hobbiests, but I'm sure that commercial frameworks will be (or maybe already are) available.

You can use XNA and C# to make games for the 360 too. At least, thats what i was told...or thats what i think i was told...

Hi,
In a TreeView/ListView Form a TreeNodeMouseClickEvent on a TreeView is showing the ListView items.
When loading the Form, it also must return the ListView items of the First Node (rootNode).
But the ListView items are only returned after selecting a Node.
Has anyone an idea how to load the the Listview Items of the First TreeView Node(rootNode)?

You mean like using the Forms OnLoad event?

Thanx man....you brought me on an idea and it worked...

Hello,
I am currently working on a windows app project that intend to add records to a ms sql server 2000 database. It consists only a single simple form which have a TextBox, a save button, a cancel button. Now, the task is simple how can I enter new record to the database by typing record data into the texbox and hitting the save button to save it?
thanks in advance.
PS: I don't want to use any special toolbox control or component. I just want to use my simple form controls with only add record ability.

In code create a SqlConnection object, and a SqlCommand object. In the command object create your INSERT statement, or refer to the relevant stored procedure. Add the parameters to pass the data to the command.
Ensuring your connection is open, use ExecuteNonQuery() on the command. Finally closed the connection.

I get an Invalid Operation Exception error because the program is trying to make a cross-thread call to a listview object that was created by the main thread.
The basic operation of the program is that items can be added, removed, modified,and cleared for the listview component on the panel. If I want, I can start a timer. Meanwhile a 'listener' sits in another thread waiting for the time to elapse. On this elapsed timer event, it enters the OnTimerDoThis() event-handler. Within the event-handler, on the foreach line, the 'Invalid Operation Exception' error occurs only after an item is added to the listview, or if an item exists already. I have put a comment at the end of the line -> '//ERROR HAPPENS HERE' so that using Find will take you to that line. The purpose of the foreach is to search the listview items and indicate if it matches to a string constant.
I was able to create a delegate for a radio component and able to handle the same exception error, but need to do the same for the listview. Question is how do I get around the error?
FYI. I am not using the background watcher.
protected void OnTimerDoThis(Object source, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
// immediatly disable timer after timeout interval reached
DisableTimer();
MessageBox.Show("Inside OnTimerDoThis asnyc event\n\nTimer Disabled\n\n" +
"Press OK to re-enable Timer");
foreach (ListViewItem item in lvData.Items) //ERROR HAPPENS HERE
{
//if (sWindowTitle.StartsWith(item.Text))
if (matchString.StartsWith(item.Text))
{
MessageBox.Show("Inside match string and asnyc event\n\nTimer Disabled\n\n" +
"Press OK to re-enable Timer");
}
}
EnableTimer();
}
Regards....

I am not sure I understood everything but ... aren't you trying to iterate through listview items with a thread while eventually modifying the same collection with another one (the main one) ?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes. The main thread allows the user to add, remove, modify, clear, the listview.
I have a button the allows the user to Start of Stop the timer. If I start the timer, and the timer has elapsed, it will search the items in the listview for a match in the async thread event-handler OnTimerDoThis().
This is mainly for me to understand why the error occurs and how to handle the error.
I plan on using something like this in the future with better functionality, but before going BIG, I need to understand the smaller stuff.
If you want I can forward the file for your review
thanks for the quick reply

I strongly urge you to read some material about multi-threading and synchronization. I recommend the book Advanced Windows by Richter. I have also seen people recommend a web site tutorial on threading but I don't know the URL. I am sure you can find it using google. I think there are articles here on CodeProject as well.

Is it http://www.albahari.com/threading/ ?

I have searched a multitude of sites and so far nothing specific to listview and my particular problem, hence my posting. There is a lot out there though, I agree.
As an FYI, I was able to handle the same exception error regarding a radio control where I needed to change the boolean state of radio component from an async process, specifically when called from event-handler OnTimerDoThis(). I did this by following some examples for a textbox from MSDN. The following is portions of code to do this:
// create a delegate within the class
delegate void SetRadioCallback(bool Status);
private void SetRadio(bool status)
{
// InvokeRequired required compares the thread ID of the
// calling thread to the thread ID of the creating thread.
// If these threads are different, it returns true.
if (this.rdoTimerStatus.InvokeRequired)
{
// calling and creating thread are different
SetRadioCallback r = new SetRadioCallback(SetRadio);
this.Invoke(r, new object[] { status });
}
else
{
this.rdoTimerStatus.Checked = status;
}
}
// EnableTimer() is called from the main thread and async thread
// at different times, never at the same time
protected void EnableTimer()
{
m_Timer.Enabled = true;
// call SetRadio to determine which thread is calling and update
this.SetRadio(true);
}
Now, how do I do the same for a listview? I am not really changing anything in the listview. I just want it to search in the listview items for a match on the time elapsed event.

That's why I posted what I did. In my opinion you don't want to try to learn about mult threading issues by being "specific" to using a listview. You seem resistant to my suggestion so I am not going to argue with you.
Have you found this MSDN Article[^]

Don't mean sound resistant. Just providing background.
I will look at the info provided. Both sources are great. Much appreciated, really.
I will play some more.

Have a look at:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.collections.ienumerator(VS.80).aspx
In particular:
An enumerator remains valid as long as the collection remains unchanged. If changes are made to the collection, such as adding, modifying, or deleting elements, the enumerator is irrecoverably invalidated and the next call to MoveNext or Reset throws an InvalidOperationException
And:

Hi,
cirkit1 wrote: I am not really changing anything in the listview.
whatever you want to do to a Control (set a property, get a property, call a method),
you must do so from the thread that created the Control in the first place.
With the exception of a few: Control.InvokeRequired, Control.Invoke(), etc.
So yes, you need the same "if InvokeRequired Invoke self" construct even to read a
ListView item.
BTW: Now you may choose to do this for each and every single Control access, or you may move
a higher-level method to the Control's thread of course, that would take more GUI time
(i.e. freeze your GUI longer), but all-in-all be better performance wise.

I'm a programming beginner so please be as harsh as you like but keep in mine I'm a complete "newb". I'm starting with C# and this is my first program.. a windows form app "cookbook" for my wife.
I'm outputting one element of an XML document to a windows form using LinQ in C# (2008 ve beta) and I'm having trouble with there being a random number of elements. For example here is the document.xml outline:
<br />
<cookbook><br />
<recipe><br />
<name /><br />
<description /><br />
<instructions /><br />
<ingredients><br />
<ingredient1><br />
<amount /><br />
<measurement /><br />
<item /><br />
</ingredient1><br />
[...]random number of ingredient nodes<br />
<ingredientX /><br />
</ingredients><br />
</recipe><br />
</cookbook><br />
So each "recipe" will have a different amount of ingredients and I won't know how many that is until I start querying the document. They will be named etc.
I've built the code to display everything but the ingredients, displayed below. I think I will have to next a foreach loop inside my current foreach loop to do this but the syntax I've tried has all been deadends. Does anybody have any experience with this in Linq?
<br />
XDocument cookbook = XDocument.Load(GlobalLogin.filename);
<br />
var display = from item in cookbook.Descendants("Recipe")
where item.Element("Name") != null && item.Element("Name").Value == name<br />
select new<br />
{<br />
Name = item.Element("Name").Value,<br />
Description = item.Element("Description").Value,<br />
Instructions = item.Element("Instructions").Value<br />
};
<br />
foreach (var item in display)
{<br />
Label recipename = new Label();
recipename.Text = item.Name + ": " + item.Description;<br />
recipename.Location = new Point(10, 10);<br />
Label instructions = new Label();
instructions.Text = item.Instructions;<br />
instructions.Location = new Point(10, 35);<br />
this.Controls.Add(recipename);
this.Controls.Add(instructions);<br />
}
I put nice little spaces in there to stagger it but it is ignoring them.. how do I get that to show up on this message board? Is there a way?

Do you create the XML structure? If so, don't add the number after ingredient. It's quite possible to have several elements with the same name. This will probably simplify things a bit for you. You just look for all elements with a certain name and loop through them.

Wow didn't know you could do that, heh. That makes things A LOT easier, thanks!

I have written a c# console application that updates active directory. To have the proper permissions to update active directory it runs under NT/Authority. I need to be able to find the user who logged on to update his AD fields. userName = Environment.UserName.ToString(); returns NT/Authority and I need the name of the user who is logged on, not the user running the service.
