I received the following error on that line

newItem.SubItems[1].Text = dData[i].ToString();

An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException' occurred in system.windows.forms.dll

However by removing the two lines, the rest of the code works fine. This is the one that works

<br />
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)<br />
		{<br />
			double[] dData  = new double[200];<br />
			double[] dData2 = new double[200];<br />
			ListViewItem newItem = null;<br />
<br />
			for(int i=0;i<200;i++)<br />
			{<br />
				dData[i]  = Math.Sin(0.09*i);<br />
				dData2[i] = Math.Cos(0.1*i);<br />
				newItem= new ListViewItem(i.ToString());<br />
				newItem.SubItems.Add(dData[i].ToString());<br />
				newItem.SubItems.Add(dData2[i].ToString());<br />
				this.listView1.Items.Add(newItem);<br />
			}<br />
			waveformPlot1.PlotY(dData);<br />
			waveformPlot2.PlotY(dData2);<br />
		}<br />

Hello,

I am sure that I have open only one connection to my SQL Server CE Database but I worked then with another project which also has opened a connection to the same SQL Server CE Database file, but I closed this connection. Now when I want to execute my previous project the File Sharing violation. A different preocess might be using the file. How can I ensure that no more process will use the file?? I also looked in the settings but there is nothing more.

I've got a client who is driving me nuts! They want the user interface for their application to look '24th century' (Trek fan) and have read enough to believe that DirectX is the way to give them a totally unique UI.

I've explained that all the usefullness of the standard Windows controls isn't available when you're using DirectX, but they're determined that their application will look like no other.

From the research and googling I've done it appears that there is some information available about this, but not a lot. Has anyone out there attempted anything like this, or have a pointer to a project by chance?

Or, do I triple my price to cover the effort and start from scratch?

Actually if you look at the Managed DX samples in the new DirectX SDK there are some standard contrls that can be custom drawn that really do look cool. I think you might even get some/most of the functionality of that control, too.

Of course you could also do the same with all custom drawn controls and just forget about using DX.

i once (upon a time) had troubled with the comm control. are u sure it can be used for USB connections? Anyway, we used to troubleshoot the comm ports using HyperTerminal (an old unfriendly thing u can find in programs-accessories-communication), and u need to know what to send through this com port.

object needs an 'indexer'

Tim Atkins13-Oct-04 7:03

I've successfully invoked a COM method, which returns a ref to an object:

object oNames ;
...
axGTVX1.QueryAvailableList( ref oNames );

The object is an array of strings. In the VS.Net debug watch window, I can see the array and its values:

- oNames {System.Array} System.Object
[0] "Pole" string
[1] "Substation" string
...

However, I can't access it as an array (if I try to watch oNames[0], the message 'object needs an indexer' appears). I've tried various approaches to cast or index this object, to no avail. THIS SHOULD BE SIMPLE.

I'll admit I dont know the library you are dealing with, but the value being ref'ed out of that method isnt a string array if you are getting that error from that line of code.

Getting the file version of my running assembly

Hello,

This may have been asked before, but my net access is too slow today, and I can't seem to find any answer, so here it is:

How can I get the file version of the current assembly (from the AssemblyVersion attribute)? I want to display it in the About box.

Thanks,

Hello leppie,

Thanks for your reply.

I tried this:

foreach(AssemblyVersionAttribute avat in Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().
    GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyVersionAttribute), true)) 
{
    MessageBox.Show(avat.Version);
    break;
}

and it doesn't work. The loop doesn't execute, as if it couldn't find any attributes of that type.

I have this on another source file in the same project (and it is displayed when I click Properties on my .exe in Windows Explorer):

[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.4287.0")]

Any ideas?

Letting a user choose a file for renaming

scotlandc13-Oct-04 5:21

Hi,

is it possible to open a window containing all the files in a directory and letting the user choose a file to be renamed? I've written the code to open the window and display the files and I'm fairly sure the next step will involve the File.Copy or File.Move method but I can't work out the next few lines of code.

The selected file will always be renamed under the same term (ie somefile.txt) as there are more processes to be carried out on the file before it is finished with. The user can then select the next file in the list to be renamed and so the process continues ad nauseum (until I write the code to loop it. Rookies eh?)

The code thus far looks like the following, (sorry, I know you all know what this looks like, just thought it was better to include it than not)

SaveFileDialog sfd = new SaveFileDialog();
sfd.Filter = "CET File (*.cet)|*.cet|PET File (*.pet)|*.pet|All files|*.*";
sfd.Title = "Save File as";
sfd.FileName = @"c:\temp\thisfile.txt";

if(sfd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)

{

}

Like I say, I'm almost positive there is some clever use of the File.Move or File.Copy method to be invoked here. I got it to work when I coded in a specifically chosen filename but that obviously only works on one pass. I need it to be user-selected. Please can someone out there help?

Thank you in advance

Scotty

how about:

if(sfd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
    System.IO.File.Copy(myfile,sfd.FileName,true);
}

where myfile is a string with the original file name, and true alows overwriting? or have i misunderstood your question?

Hi,

yeah, that was it. My solution worked also when I realised I had declared a couple of variables to hold path names outside of the block of code I was working on. Once I put them in the right place, it all clicked together.

Thanks for replying anyhoo, much appreciated.

I have a problem, if someone will help i'm be very happy for it.
I want to read a binary file into a struct. Please help.

public sealed class InfoHeader
{
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet=CharSet.Ansi)]
private struct Info
{
public UInt32 version;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst=20)]
public Byte[] tapenr;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst=10)]
public Byte[] client0;
};
private Info info;

public void Read(BinaryReader reader)
{
int length = (int)Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(Header));
byte [] buffer = reader.ReadBytes(length);
// What is the next step get the buffer into the struct.
}

public void Write(BinaryWriter writer) ...
}

I don´t want to do this for every property.
this.version = reader.ReadUInt32();
