Hi all,
Let's say I have a.exe and b.exe. Both are coded in C#.
a.exe have a textbox and a command button while b.exe have a label.
I run both exes. What I want to do is to type something in a.exe, "Hello Wolrd" perhaps, press the command button and have b.exe display the message on the label.
I don't want to use file streams and SQL for this.
Thanks!

Look up named pipes. I used them a while back for comunicating between a c++ app, and a c# app. It worked out pretty well.
There might be something a little simpler for just C# -> C# but i don't know about it.

WCF is the way to do this nowadays. The old way I would use for simple stuff is the WM_COPYDATA message.

I have a Setup Project in which some files are written in Cyrillic fonts (Bulgarian Phonetic). Visual Studio underlines these files and displays a warning Invalid language characters in property 'Name'. When install the files, the Cyrillic fonts appear as junk text - boxes. How can i fix this???

Hi. I'm making a MDI Windows Form Application that has some child forms.
It behaves like "MS power point slide show". So it shows its child forms in sequence. The child forms have several label controls - about 10 controls each.
My problem is that when each child form shows up, the child form's background image and the label controls are NOT come up concurrently. I've already checked to use double buffering on the child forms but the transition of the child forms is not clear and smooth.
Is there any solution? Like when the form is to be shown, pending any control's display and when the last control's data has written on memroy, then pops up with all the controls at once.
Please help me out!!

Hi all,
I am getting problem in uploading file with ASP.NET (C#). I have set almost all property of HttpWebRequest instance. I have too set properties in my Virtual directory.
I am getting error as "Cannot connect to the configuration database". I dont know what is configuration database in these case. My application takes 10 second when it execute the below code:
HttpWebResponse httpResponse =httpWebResponse)httpRequest.GetResponse();
I have used Stream to write uploaded file content. It seems to be working fine. Even I am getting my Stream object by GetRequestStream().
========================================================================
here is my code.
string URI = "http://" + txtServerIP.Text + "/" + "VDir" + "/" + fUpload.FileName;
HttpWebRequest httpRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(new Uri(URI));
FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo(fUpload.PostedFile.FileName);
httpRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Http.Put;
httpRequest.AllowWriteStreamBuffering = true;
httpRequest.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(txtUserName.Text, txtPassword.Text);
httpRequest.ContentLength = fileInfo.Length;
httpRequest.ContentType ="text/html";
FileStream fs = new FileStream(fUpload.PostedFile.FileName,FileMode.Open);
Stream stream = httpRequest.GetRequestStream();
contentLength = fs.Read(buff, 0, buffLen);
while (contentLength != 0)
{
stream.Write(buff, 0, contentLength);
contentLength = fs.Read(buff, 0, buffLen);
}
stream.Close();
fs.Close();
//Here it takes 10 seconds.
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)httpRequest.GetResponse();
Could you pls help me.
Thanks,
Regards

Hi there,
I am creating my first multi threading app. And I now I'm stuck on here.
Here's my Code:
<br />
public partial class FrmMain : Form<br />
{<br />
<br />
Thread threadVBNums, threadCNum;<br />
private void StartProcess()<br />
{<br />
this.threadVBNums = new Thread(new ThreadStart(this.AddVbNums));<br />
this.threadVBNums.Start();<br />
<br />
this.threadCNums = new Thread(new ThreadStart(this.AddCNums));<br />
this.threadCNums.Start();<br />
}<br />
private void AddVbNums()<br />
{<br />
for(int i = 0; i < 20, i++)<br />
{<br />
this.vbText.Text += ("Main thread: {0}\n", i);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void AddCNums()<br />
{<br />
for(int i = 0; i < 20, i++)<br />
{<br />
this.cText.Text += ("Main thread: {0}\n", i);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
}<br />
And this is written in Windows Application. So the other code is same as normal CS app. code.
Now this gives me an error saying
Cross-thread operation not valid: Control '' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
I know that .NET do not allow me access controls on form. But I don't know how to solve this??!!
Can someone tell me what is happening wrong and how to solve it??

To avoid this problem, I would suggest you use a BackgroundWorker. This component will handle much of the threading for you and allow you a way modify controls on the form. It has a few very helpful methods...RunWorkerAsync() , ReportProgress(), and WorkDone().
You can call the ReportProgress method within your for loop like
<br />
private void StartProcess()<br />
{<br />
this.bgWorker.RunWorkerAsync();<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void bgWorker_DoWork()<br />
{<br />
AddCNums();<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void AddCNums()<br />
{<br />
for(int i = 0; i < 20, i++)<br />
{<br />
this.bgWorker.ReportProgress(0, i)}<br />
}<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void bgWorker_ReportProgress(object sender, ProgressChangedEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
if(e.ProgressPercentage == 0)<br />
{<br />
int i = (int)e.UserState;<br />
this.cText.Text += ("Main thread: {0}\n", i);<br />
<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
It's very clean.

You'll have to add a Method to handle it that looks something like this...
private delegate void TextBoxUpdater(TextBox t, String s);
private void UpdateTextBox(TextBox t, String s){
if(t.InvokeRequired) {
t.Invoke(new TextBoxUpdater(UpdateTextBox), Object[]{t, s}));
} else {
t.Text = s;
}
}
Call this from your thread routine in place of manually setting the control text.
The above code may not work, I didn't compile it, but you get the idea. You have to check "InvokeRequired" on a control that you want to cross thread, and call the updating method on the UI thread using a delegate.

Thank you very much half-life.
But is it really safe to do?? I mean what you suggested did work 100% but I read on Internet that this is used for Debugging, just to avoid error messages! 
I think someone should write article about Multi-threading on CP. I searched but didn't find any.

Nothing is Stupid When u do not know it
The Property is MS Idea so it's probebly doable
The right way goes like this:
<br />
public delegate void RefToFunction(string s);<br />
<br />
<br />
RefToFunction handle = new RefToFunction(UpdateTextBox);<br />
<br />
<br />
string s = "Test";<br />
object[] param = { s };<br />
<br />
<br />
this.Invoke(handle, param);<br />
<br />
<br />
public static void UpdateTextBox(string s)<br />
{<br />
MessageBox.Show(s);<br />
}ode><br />
<br />
i did a lot of research about this so i hope i helped<br />
if u need any clarification just reply :):) <br />

don't set CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls false, this is a terrible hack, that WILL
result in malfunction, sooner or later (sooner if you are lucky).

Hello,
I've built a DLL using an ASCII C compiler (NI-CVI). A certain function is to return a string.
Here is the code in C:
int get_description ( char sDescription[] )<br />
{<br />
strcpy (sDescription, "aaa");<br />
return 0;<br />
}
here is the code in C#:
[DllImport("C:\\funcs.dll")]
public static extern int get_description ( out string sDescription);
the exeption I get:
Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
I have also tried substituting the string for char[], byte[] nothing works.
Please help me. Anyone?

Hi,
you should create a StringBuilder, give it sufficient "capacity", and pass the StringBuilder
object AND and int holding its capacity to the native code; the native code should
then fill the buffer, without overflowing its capacity. Hence use strncpy, not strcpy.
When returned to C#, you can call ToString() on the StringBuilder to get a real String.

Hi,
a string (=a read-only object) or a StringBuilder (=a writeable string with limited length)
can be passed easily from C# to native code; the marshalling is automatic.
other objects, such as all kinds of arrays, cannot passed as such; you need to help the
system, e.g. by using GCHandle and pinning the object, so it can't move while the native
code is dealing with it.

Many C# class contains Disposal method.
As long as it contains the method, I must call the method after using the class. Am I correct?
But I always find example codes like this:
Pen pen=new Pen(...);
// Using the object
// Never call the pen.Disposal
Confused...
I'm sorry for my poor English. 
|

Well, you don't have to call it after you finish with the object. That is if you don't mind unmanaged resources being left unfreed. In most cases, the Dispose method is there for your application to tell the underlying code to dispose of unmanaged resources - there are exceptions where people are doing odd behaviour in the Dispose (such as closing a database connection - odd yes, but I have seen it), but it is good practice to Dispose of resources when you've finished with them.
In your example, you can do
using (Pen pen = new Pen)
{
}and the Dispose method is automatically called for you because the using (){} essentially converts into a try/finally block where the finally calls the Dispose method.
|
|
|
|
|
Always call Dispose transitively - in your Dispose override, call Dispose (or Close) on any resources that your class was holding on to. Yes, finalization is there as a backstop - but it's such a bad one, you never want your code to end up in the finalizer.
Database connections are a special case. Because the provider is normally pooling connections for you, it's more acquire/release than create/destroy. Best Practice is to acquire a connection just before executing an operation and release it just after. Don't go over the top, if you have a set of causally-related database activities you can execute them all on the same connection, but generally you should be using a using block with any connection you create.
