First off, Im really greatful for your answers!
The thing is that Im not really understanding my own code, im quite a noob when it comes to threading. Thats why i "push" you to explain my design errors.
I will have a look at the "delegates" thing and have another go at this.
Thanks again!

That is unacceptable. It is hard enough when you think you do understand your code and it sometimes doesn't do what you expect.
Here is some great advice[^] for you

Hi David,
I just finished a little article on the cross-thread problem, so here[^] is a read for you. It does assume you are familiar with delegates though. I might create an article on delegates and events at some other time.

Read the documentation.
You'll need to check InvokeRequired and Invoke as needed.

Hi
Is there any way to copy assmeblies that registered in GAC to local drive ?
thanks
|
|
|
|
|
Yes through the command prompt.
|
|
|
|
|
yes, command prompt or free commander (like windows explorer)

Lets you want to copy System.Data.dll from GAC [ Just for Example ]
Open Command Prompt.
Move to Directory
C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_32\System.Data\2.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089>
Use DIR
07/04/2009 04:12 PM <DIR> .
07/04/2009 04:12 PM <DIR> ..
07/04/2009 04:12 PM x,xxx,xxx System.Data.dll
1 File(s) x,xxx,xxx bytes
2 Dir(s) xx,xxx,xxx,xxx bytes free
Now use Copy command to copy the System.Data.Dll

Hello everyone,
2 days ago i bought a relays card wich is controlled by rs232 ComPort.
It works with the suplied software, that's written in visual basic.
But i code in visual c#, so i downloaded visual basic but i have som problem understanding how to convert sertan things from visual basic to c#.
i will post some code and hope someone could help me out, the problem is in a byte buffer, wich wil sent the commands to my serial port.
Send_buffer(0) = 2 ' Get Ports
Send_buffer(1) = 0 ' Broadcast
Send_buffer(2) = 0
Send_buffer(3) = Send_buffer(0) Xor Send_buffer(1) Xor Send_buffer(2)
SerialPort1.Write(Send_buffer, 0, 4)
i know a little bit what is happening here, but i dont know how to use it in c# thanks so far;)

Okay, the first four lines are arrays. That mean that you can refer to them like you do in VB, but the brackets need to be square [] instead of curly (). XOR is a logical operator, the equivalent in C# is the ^ symbol. The method call is the same. Don't forget the semicolons at the end of every statement
As to what happens on a high level, you simply fill a small array with numbers and send it over a serial port

Ah, my terminology is a bit off. To me, () are curly, [] are square, {} are squiggly. Unsurprisingly, I feel rather silly when I talk about programming syntax

i now have this:
ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
al[1] = 8;
al[2] = 1;
al[3] = 3;
al[4] = 8 ^ 1 ^ 4;
serialPort1.Open();
serialPort1.Write(al, 0, 4);
serialPort1.Close();
but it returns this error:
Error 2 Argument '1': cannot convert from 'System.Collections.ArrayList' to 'byte[]' C:\Users\Clean Totaal\AppData\Local\Temporary Projects\WindowsFormsApplication1\Form1.cs 31 31 WindowsFormsApplication1
What is going wrong?

Using your example above try (remember arrays are zero based in c#, not 1):
byte[] ab = new byte[4];
ab[0] = 8;
ab[1] = 1;
ab[2] = 3;
ab[3] = ab[0] ^ ab[1] ^ ab[2];
serialPort1.Open();
serialPort1.Write(ab, 0, 4);
serialPort1.Close();

whwen comparing two strings, you should use the
s1.Equals(s2) . The code s1 == s2 just returns true if they are the same object not the same value.

I was sure that it was the case. I have just chickened and according to Troelsen, == and .equals both compare content.
I think it's wrong, but going by what Luc says below it makes some sort of sense. I have java as well as C#, there it is absolutly == comnpares references and .equals() compares values.

Aren't all strings "interned" in .NET, i.e. two strings holding the same value actually point to a single instance?
[EDIT] No, they are not (see this little article[^]). However, string1==string2 and string.Equals(string1,string2) both call the string.Equals method and generate the correct result no matter what. [/EDIT]

Depending on your point of view, fortunately or unfortunately, not all strings in the CLI are interned. Essentially, any string loaded with the MSIL ldstr command is interned, and anything programatically interned is interned. For example, if we run the following code
string interned1 = "hello";
string interned2 = "hello";
string notinterned = new String("hello".ToCharArray());
string interned4 = string.Intern(notinterned);
Console.WriteLine(RuntimeHelpers.GetHashCode(interned1));
Console.WriteLine(RuntimeHelpers.GetHashCode(interned2));
Console.WriteLine(RuntimeHelpers.GetHashCode(notinterned));
Console.WriteLine(RuntimeHelpers.GetHashCode(interned4));then we get the corresponding output
58225482
58225482
54267293
58225482 As you can see from the output, the interned strings all show the same "memory location" while the programatically constructed string shows a different location.
(.NET 3.5) In terms of string equality, though, the override of operator== calls the public static string.Equals(string, string) method which calls a private static method to determine equality. string.Equals(string) calls the private static method directly.
