First you have to find all installed printers, and then implement your code logic for selecting appropriate one's for printing the documents.

using System.Drawing.Printing;

// Loop through the string collection of printers
foreach (string strPrinter in PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters)
{
// Show the name of the printer
MessageBox.Show(strPrinter);
}

By this you will have access to all installed printers. Implement your logic for selecting printer to do the job.

Multithread UDP listener in C#

Hello to every body.
My name is Christian and i´m not a c# developer (I´m a VFP developer) but some how i manage to built a little UDP server listener app in c#.
I needed to do this becouse I will have several vehicles that send a data via GPRS to the server each minute and the server should be listening and decode the data to store in the database (MySql). There will be hundreds of entries per minute. I Hope that somebady can tell me if my code is multithread or not and if it´s not, how can i implement it. Also, if i need multithread in the database part. The code is this:

using System;

Hi.

Is it possible to change content of a WebBrowser object in C# without using HTML files ?

I mean :
For example we have following XHTML code :

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Test</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body,td,th {
	color: #000;
}
body {
	background-color: #990;
}
-->
</style></head>

<body>
<table width="100%" border="1">
  <tr>
    <td align="center">TEST01</td>
    <td align="center">test02</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><p>test03</p></td>
    <td align="center">test04</td>
  </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Now , I wanna show the design in WebBrowser => http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/6855/50068901.png[^]

I would be appreciate if you guide me !

I do believe you can set the HTML of the control. If you can't, you can always save this HTML locally and point the control to it.

Try-Catch problem in C# console app

carlecomm22-Sep-09 16:14

22-Sep-09 16:14

it's possible to change content of a webbrowser object in c# by using a string;
for example :

private void WriteHtml(string s){
//stream to string
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
try{
byte[] htmlcode = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(s);
ms.Write(htmlcode,0,htmlcode.Length);
Stream dataStream = ms;
//Position
dataStream.Seek(0,0);

if(axWb.Document!=null){
//to IStream
(axWb.Document as UnsafeNativeMethods.IPersistStreamInit).Load(new UnsafeNativeMethods.ComStreamFromDataStream(dataStream));
}
}finally{
ms.Close();
}
}

I have the following code snippet in a C# console application and am getting the following error in VS2008 on the last line (bool recExists = myReader.HasRows):

Error 2 Use of unassigned local variable 'myReader'

Here's the code:

           string sResponse;<br />
            SqlDataReader myReader;<br />
<br />
            // Check existence of tracking record<br />
<br />
            sQuery = "Select * from tracking where shipper_id = '" + sShipperId +<br />
                "' AND shipper_ack = '" + sShipperAck + "'";<br />
<br />
            myCommand1 = new SqlCommand(sQuery, conn);<br />
<br />
            try<br />
            {<br />
                myReader = myCommand1.ExecuteReader();<br />
            }<br />
            catch (Exception e2)<br />
            {<br />
                conn.Close();<br />
                conn.Dispose();<br />
<br />
                sResponse = e2.GetBaseException().ToString() + "   " + sQuery;<br />
              <br />
            }<br />
<br />
            bool recExists = myReader.HasRows;

I use this same identical code in a Windows Client app with no problems.

What am I missing????

Thanks,

Dave

If that's a copy and paste of the code, it should work fine. I'm assuming there's something else that's not clear from what you copied and pasted. Is all of this an exact copy and paste of the whole function ?

Of course, it's not good code. You should check if myreader is null, because if execute reader blows up, it could well be.

Change SqlDataReader myReader; to SqlDataReader myReader = null; and you should be fine

Excellent....

That worked great, but why do I need to set the value to null in the console app and not in the Windows Forms app????

9-Sep-09 9:28

(Just a guess since I don't know all your code) Maybe the SqlDataReader used to be a field instead of a local? Fields are initialized automatically whereas locals aren't so they often need explicit initialization

Christian Graus9-Sep-09 9:39

9-Sep-09 9:39

Oh - yeah, I see the issue now. That is really dumb, IMO, I've had that happen too.

Try your code like this:

string sResponse;
SqlDataReader myReader;
bool recExists = false;

// Check existence of tracking record

sQuery = "Select * from tracking where shipper_id = '" + sShipperId +
"' AND shipper_ack = '" + sShipperAck + "'";

myCommand1 = new SqlCommand(sQuery, conn);

try
{
myReader = myCommand1.ExecuteReader();
bool recExists = myReader.HasRows;
}
catch (Exception e2)
{
conn.Close();
conn.Dispose();

sResponse = e2.GetBaseException().ToString() + " " + sQuery;
}

// for example
return recExists;

Hope this helps
