tbh I've never written anything which is invoked from an icon on the task bar so I'm not too sure. It doesn't look quite right to me, but I'm struggling to put my finger on what's wrong.
Suggestion - make the Form a member variable of your Program class. This way, you can only ever have one. If it's set already, you don't need to new it up. Making the form modal may well render your notification tray menu inactive, so I consider going modeless.
As a tip, if you know you're going to be working in Windows (as opposed to a console app) I'd always start a Windows Application project. You'll have to change project settings and add references later on otherwise.
If you're new to this stuff I'd say you were doing pretty well for your first app!

thanks, well i was very pleased i managed to make my own event for windows media center starting (thats that thread starting near application.run()), found the right guide for it and it wasnt too bad: http://www.ondotnet.com/pub/a/dotnet/2003/06/23/progCsharp3.html?page=1[^] i was surprised that creating a loop was the way to check for an event... is this an unpro way of doing it?
i have done VB6 before as i say, but yea just botching code together until it stops giving an error :P the big difference is how many levels u can have: solution, namespace, class, method. its definitely a big difference from a picaxe where you get 14 bytes of data for variables :P
right when you say member variable of my class do you mean using Form.Showdialog(this) ? all this lingo is washing over my head at the minute... or do u mean defining it outside of a method? like private Settings settings;
i think what looks wrong to you is that notifyicons are normally defined in a form? or maybe some icons are defined at the bottom that shouldnt be (they are copied from the form when i was fiddling)
by the way is system.linq needed at the top, everything i create seems to have it, but it just throws up an error so i deleted it :P
so no ideas about including a driver in an install file? is there any command i can use to make windows install a driver? how easy is it to stick custom code into the installer, there were basically 0 with the VB6 package and deployment wizard lol
cheers

Not sure what you mean. Events get fired and have handlers which respond when fired. There's no looping normally.
samskiter wrote: have done VB6 before as i say, but yea just botching code together until it stops giving an error
VB6 is hideous. C# is a dream!
samskiter wrote: member variable of my class
Something like this (usually at the top of the class definition):
private Form _theForm;
samskiter wrote: by the way is system.linq needed at the top
No you don't need that. Delete it, and remove any references to System.Linq in the references folder in the solution. It's a new .NET 3.5 thing and not something to worry about while you're still learning.
Don't really know about the driver bit I'm afraid. Visual Studio does do setup projects but I doubt it supports installing drivers. You'll have to Google around a bit I think.

Rob Philpott.

right, i have tried everything under the sun at the top:
public Settings setting;
private Settings setting;
private Form setting;
public new Settings setting;
but the only way i can make setting.ShowDialog(); work is by using Settings setting = new Settings(); just above it in the click event method.
otherwise i get this error once the program is running (is this a runtime error lol?):
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Cool, will do, its not vital :P the easier the install, the better tho :P
Rob Philpott wrote: VB6 is hideous. C# is a dream!
haha i've been told that but i like it in a way, probs cos im used to it! hmm, this project is my first experience of .NET :P its not so bad
Rob Philpott wrote: Not sure what you mean. Events get fired and have handlers which respond when fired. There's no looping normally.
hmmm, well this is the heart of my event, and this is that that new thread is required for, at the minute it fires the event when calc.exe is started or exited:
public void MediaCenterRunning()
{
for (; ; )
{
Thread.Sleep(1000);
bool onoff = (System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("calc").Length != 0);
Debug.WriteLine(onoff);
if (onoff != on)
{
MediaCenterEventArg StateInfo = new MediaCenterEventArg(onoff);
if (MediaStateChange != null)
{
MediaStateChange(this, StateInfo);
}
}
on = onoff;
}
}
i just fumbled the event together out of code chunks and that guide and a bit of fudging

Hi guys,
Im getting this error :
Min (110) must be less than or equal to max (-1) in a Range object.
when doing some operations on my datatable
System.ArgumentException: Min (110) must be less than or equal to max (-1) in a Range object.
at System.Data.Select.GetBinaryFilteredRecords()
at System.Data.Select.SelectRows()
at System.Data.DataTable.Select(String filterExpression, String sort, DataViewRowState recordStates)
at System.Data.DataTable.Compute(String expression, String filter)
Here is my code:
for (int i = 0; i < list.Count; i++)
{
lt.Add(list[i].ToString()); -------this is the line that causes the error???
maxObject = dtPar.Compute("MAX(Act_doorlooptijd)", "bijelkaar =" + list[i].ToString());
ls.Add(maxObject.ToString());
}
Any idea's what is wrong here? 
Thanks

Hi,
your message isn't clear.
What is lt, you should show its declaration.
What is list[], you should show its declaration.
Your exception's stacktrace seems to show .NET class and method names without line numbers, rather than your cladd and method names with line numbers.
You should debug in debug build, not in release build; that way you get line numbers.
You should also tell your IDE (Visual Studio?) to show line numbers in all editor windows, so you can match the exception to the line where it occurs. I doubt it is where you indicated.
ArgumentException is what you often get when you pass inacceptable values to a .NET method or property, say the Minimum, Value and Maximum properties of a scrollbar.
Could it be list[] is somehow set as the DataSource to lt, whatever that is?
that is the only way I can imagine the statement you indicate causes those .NET methods to execute.
And please show code using the "code block" button, which adds PRE tags, a background color, a monospaced font, and preserves formatting.

Just got through the same issue. Just add single quotes around the value:
maxObject = dtPar.Compute("MAX(Act_doorlooptijd)", "bijelkaar ='" + list[i].ToString()+"'");

i want to compare two .dat file.One .dat file contains lines of file name with it record count and size.
MRR_GIQ_FR_X03_M0808_GIQDTL_GIQDTLCTCT.dat~612~3~
MRR_GIQ_FR_X03_M0808_GIQDTL_GIQDTLDETL.dat~1036~3~
MRR_GIQ_FR_X03_M0808_GIQDTL_GIQDTLMTG.dat~875~3~
We need to write a code to compare each .dat file with .dat file.
when record count and size differ it must exit,else continue with next file.
my code is
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using System.IO.Compression;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Class1
{
public bool splitFile = false;
static void Main(string[] args)
{
CompareFiles();
}
//Compare 2 files
public static void CompareFiles()
{
string srcFile = "C:\\SampleFile\\MRR_GIQ_FR_X03_M0808_GIQDTL_GIQDTLCTCT.dat";
string destFile = "C:\\SampleFile\\MRR_GIQ_FR_X03_M0808_STATS.dat";
if (Class1.FileCompare(srcFile,destFile))
{
Console.Write("Files are equal.");
}
else
{
Console.Write("Files are not equal.");
}
}
private static bool FileCompare(string file1, string file2)
{
int file1byte;
int file2byte;
FileStream fs1;
FileStream fs2;
// Determine if the same file was referenced two times.
if (file1 == file2)
{
// Return true to indicate that the files are the same.
return true;
}
// Open the two files.
fs1 = new FileStream(file1, FileMode.Open);
fs2 = new FileStream(file2, FileMode.Open);
// Check the file sizes. If they are not the same, the files
// are not the same.
if (fs1.Length != fs2.Length)
{
I NEED THE CODE HERE TO COMPARE THESE TWO DAT FILE
}
// Read and compare a byte from each file until either a
// non-matching set of bytes is found or until the end of
// file1 is reached.
do
{
// Read one byte from each file.
file1byte = fs1.ReadByte();
file2byte = fs2.ReadByte();
}
while ((file1byte == file2byte) && (file1byte != -1));
// Close the files.
fs1.Close();
fs2.Close();
// Return the success of the comparison. "file1byte" is
// equal to "file2byte" at this point only if the files are
// the same.
return ((file1byte - file2byte) == 0);
}
PLEASE HELP WITH CODE OR ANY USEFUL LINKS.........

Hi,
That is a lot of code already, without much being achieved.
You do not really have to test for identical files, same length, etc; if the data comparison is present and correct, that would generate the right result anyway; checking for identical files and same length, are optimisations that initially will make your testing more difficult. I suggest you concentrate on the heart of the matter first.
You probably don't need FileStreams at all.
Assuming both files are text files, you could use File.ReadAllLines() twice, then sort both arrays, and compare the two arrays.
Assuming the lines are in a fixed order (maybe the filenames are ordered alphabetically) you could even just use File.ReadAllText().

how to create a set up file for a project
|
|
|
|
|
You can create a new setup project in VS 2005.
Include the project you would like to create a setup file for. Add the dlls to dependency and then Build it.
|
|
|
|
|
- right click on your newly created setup project
- go to View -> File System
- you'll see a new opened window
- right click on Application Folder -> Add -> Project Output
- select the project and Primary Output

You can also use Inno Setup here[^]. It's a free installer for Windows programs with nice feature set and good stability.

Dear All,
I have an application which is reading a datagram from the client.
If the bytes to be read is greater that are equal to the byte sent, then it is working fine.
But my requirement is to read the data by 10 bytes at a time or specific bytes configured by the user.
I don't know how to achieve this.
The code used is:
private void OnReceive(IAsyncResult ar)
{
try
{
IPEndPoint ipeSender = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 0);
EndPoint epSender = (EndPoint)ipeSender;
int aCount = serverSocket.EndReceive(ar);
Data msgReceived = new Data(byteData);
string aReadData = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(byteData, 0, aCount);
int aPacketEnd = aReadData.LastIndexOf("|");
if (aPacketEnd == -1)
{
aPacketEnd = aReadData.LastIndexOf('\0');
}
if (aPacketEnd != -1)
{
string aValidData = System.String.Empty;
string aPacketData = System.String.Empty;
if (myBuffer.Length > 0)
{
aValidData = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(myBuffer);
}
if (aPacketEnd < aCount - 1)
{
myBuffer = new byte[aCount - (aPacketEnd + 1)];
System.Buffer.BlockCopy(byteData, aPacketEnd + 1, myBuffer, 0, aCount - (aPacketEnd + 1));
}
else
{
myBuffer = new byte[0];
}
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100);
byte[] message = new byte[10];
serverSocket.BeginSendTo(message, 0, message.Length, SocketFlags.None, epSender,
new AsyncCallback(OnSend), epSender);
byte []byteData = new byte[10];
serverSocket.BeginReceiveFrom(byteData , 0, byteData.Length, SocketFlags.None, ref epSender,
new AsyncCallback(OnReceive), epSender);
}
else
{
byte[] aTempArray = new byte[myBuffer.Length];
System.Buffer.BlockCopy(myBuffer, 0, aTempArray, 0, myBuffer.Length);
myBuffer = new byte[aTempArray.Length + (aCount)];
System.Buffer.BlockCopy(aTempArray, 0, myBuffer, 0, aTempArray.Length);
System.Buffer.BlockCopy(byteData, 0, myBuffer, aTempArray.Length, aCount);
byteData = new byte[0];
byteData = new byte[10];
serverSocket.BeginReceiveFrom(byteData, 0, byteData.Length, SocketFlags.None, ref epSender,
new AsyncCallback(OnReceive), epSender);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
IPEndPoint ipeSender = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 0);
EndPoint epSender = (IPEndPoint)ipeSender;
byteData = new byte[10];
serverSocket.BeginReceiveFrom(byteData, 0, byteData.Length, SocketFlags.None, ref epSender,
new AsyncCallback(OnReceive), epSender);
}
}
As the datagram sent may be very larger too, so that time I have to limit my reading.
Another important point is to send an ACK when the data transfer is completed. The start and end of the transmission is identified by the character "|".
Can any one help me to get rid of this?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best Regards,

Hello,
I used to use 3rd party installer (wizard based) for my applications and today I was interested to study the Visual Studio Setup Project so that I can use my C# skill to build install time Dialogs, Forms , etc and so on. But when I started learning the Setup Project, I found it is just another kind of advanced Wizard but nothing else. I cannot add Windows Forms, run C# codes. Although I found how to add dialogs and those dialogs are prebuilt, I can just change some values. So, my question is, Why it is like this ? Am I missing something ? Is it not possible for a C# developer to build the installer by his own way using his own Windows Forms, etc ? May be it is possible, but then I will have to create another stand along Windows Application which will be the installer but not using Setup Projects, right ?
Please advice.
Regards
Emran

It is possible to customize the installer. You may edit the dialogs, add registry keys, deployment files, and most important, custom actions. You need to extend the Installer and override some methods like: Install, OnCommitting, Rollback...so, you may add your C# code here.
Also, in these custom actions you may use the input values from the dialogs fields.
For more customizations related to UI dialogs, use Orca application, which let's you edit the resulted MSI.
