Yes there is. but it won't be a c# script or anything like that.
this can be done using visual studio 2005 or 2008. add a reference to your project "IWshRuntimeLibrary" it is a .COM library from a dll.
using IWshRuntimeLibrary;
public class x;
{
private void mapPrinter();
{
WshNetwork oNet = new WshNetwork();
oNet.AddWindowsPrinterConnection"\\\\SERVER\\printerName", "HPLJ4100", "\\\\SERVER\\printerName");
oNet.SetDefaultPrinter("\\\\SERVER\\printerName");
}
}
I hope this helps with this kind of project/s.

Hi,
I am trying to create a new log file in my exe folder through StreamWriter class, but I am getting the following exception. I have full access to the folder, but dont know why I am getting this.
My OS is Vista. Any quick help will be appreciated.
{System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Users\mah\Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\sampleproj\bin\Debug' is denied.
at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)

Vista does that, but in this case, could it be that the file is already open ?

no, file is not open..actually i am trying to create a new file here..
but anyway thanks for the reply..I got the solution for this, If I dont specify the path to the streamwriter, by deafult its creating the file in the debug directory..that is what I want.. But the weird thing is if I specify the path explicity then its raising the above error..

I have a lot of debugging statements in my code, and I want to compile most of them away in a release build. Is there any easier way to do this besides surrounding each one with #if DEBUG...?
An alternative solution would be to create a single method called Debug() which has the preprocessor statement inside of it. But this would involve refactoring a lot of code and would still involve a method invocation (albeit an empty one).
Any ideas?

Those are your two options, sorry

>>would still involve a method invocation (albeit an empty one).
You can mark the refactored code with the "ConditionalAttribute"
eg:
[Conditional("Debug")]
public void DoStuff()
{
}
This lets the compiler know that it should only _emit calls to that method if we are in debug mode_
So the method will still be present in release mode, but no calls to it will be present in the IL code.
(And if your debug statements are output stuff only. then just use "Debug.WriteLine(text)" , those will also be removed in release mode)

Hello, I am trying to write an application that will be able to manage an attendance list. It will talk back to a database and any updates made to the attendance list, will update the database.
So basically, there are students and classes.
each class has students.
I want to be able to maintain a list of students and a list of classes.
How should I go about doing this?
I am thinking of having the classes:
student - defines a student object
class - defines a class object
- list<student>
studentList - contains a list of ALL students
- list<student>
classList - contains a list of ALL classes
- list<class>
I would like to retrieve the student list of a particular class where should the method for this go?
Should it go in classList? maybe getStudents(int classID)
or class? just getstudents()?
i want to also be able to add students to a particular class from studentList.
where should the addStudentToClass method go? in the class or in the classList?
If it belongs in class, how do you get access to the studentList? do I have to pass the studentList as a variable through the constructor when i create the class? I know I can do it by making the studentList a static class then i can access the method by students.Add(studentList.GetStudentByID(int studentID))?
I would appreciate it greatly if someone could explain the levels of access and what classes should be able to access what by using the scenario above.
Thank you,
Kind Regards,
Mike </class></student></student>

Recommendations:
1) Don't use "class" for a class name... really don't. use "Course" or something appropriate. Never use keywords as class names or in parts of class names.
2) If it has to do with the class directly, then put it into that class. i.e. I'd put public static GetStudent() into the Student class.
3) Remember the "has-a" and "is-a" relationship. Curriculum has Courses. Courses have Students. I don't think you have a problem that requires inheritance here, so don't worry about the "is-a" relationship.
4) When you have problems getting started, it helps greatly to do the UML, even if it's sloppy who cares as long as you get a better understanding of the problem. Use a pencil and paper, don't worry about visio or other fancy tools. Pencils are twice as fast as visio - easy.
5) I presume that this is a student assignment? I'll give you a hint here, what you have is a nested problem, if you solve the Course/Students relationship, then you solved the Curriculum/Courses relationship.
Curriculum
-Courses
+Add(Course)
+Remove(Course)
+this[index]
Course
-Students
+Add(Student)
+Remove(Student)
+this[index]
+GetCourse(fromDB)
Student
-StudentInfo() //Info that I'm not going to go through.
+GetStudent(fromDB)

Hi, can anyone tell me what the ?? operator is for in C# ?
Thanks
|
|
|

It's a conditional statement where if the left hand side of the expression is non-null then it is returned, otherwise the right hand side is returned.
ex:
string value = GetSomeValue();
string result = null;
if (value == null)
{
result = "value is null";
}
else
{
result = value;
}
is the same as
string value = GetSomeValue();
string result = value ?? "value is null";

Hello
I have created my own event and delegate, they look like this:
public delegate Answer delegateCallResponse(Request req);
public event delegateCallResponse eventCallResponse;
the Request and Answer is 2 struct which contain a few strings/ints.
I got a method to handle the event, which look like
public Answer ans = new Answer();
private Answer OnEvent(Request req) {
FillRequest(req);
while (!ans.filled) { Thread.Sleep(1000); }
return this.ans; }
the ans.filled is a bool indication whether the information is filled or not.
My problem is that the Answer can take a while to get filled and the code as it is now, will make the mainthread sleep thus making the GUI unavailable for some time.
Is there a way to run the event in a thread? or just another way to make it wait than use the while function?
//QzRz
|
|
|
|
|
Use an Asynchronous method call to run FillRequest: Asynchronous Method Invocation[^]
then instead of looping waiting for ans.filled to be true you can set up a callback for when the function finishes.

If your event is in a class, you can create a method in that class that invokes the event asynchronously. Specifically, you can do:
<br />
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem( delegate { <br />
if(eventCallResponse != null) {<br />
eventCallResponse(req)<br />
}<br />
);<br />

I have a DataGridView that has a DataTable set as the data source. When I add a row to the DataTable, it does get added to the grid but it is followed by a null row that sits between the row I just added and the next new row. How do I prevent this bogus row from appearing on the data grid?
|
|
|
|
|
Often when there is a null row there is an error in the code that is adding rows to the DataTable. I would check that logic.
If you would rather apply a hack than a fix to the error you can capture the Data Binding events for the DataGridView and manually remove the null records.

You pointed in a good direction but I still don't know why this is happening.
I checked the row added event on the grid and sure enough, when that is getting fired, there is an additional null row in my DataTable which is affecting the grid. When the new row in the DataTable gets committed, the null row disappears from the DataTable but the grid hangs on to it.
I can't find any problems with the logic that adds the row to the DataTable so I decided to loop backwards through the grid and get rid of all rows in the DataGrid that do not exist in the DataTable.

Hello!
I have a LOGIN form with a combobox from which you can select the username. The combobox is bind to a sql table.
Also, my form contains a button "Add user" -> this button allows you to add new users through a new form where you can introduce all the data necessary about this new user. When i press OK in the Add user form, this closes and I want to see my combobox in the LOGIN form refreshed. How do i managed to do this?!
I've tried in 15 million ways to do it but withouth success:
- by using combobox.Update()
- by using usersTableAdapter.Update(fixedAssetsDataSet)
... and some other ways. I've deleted the code and I can't do any copy paste here now.
Pls help me! Suggest me a right way to refresh a combobox that is bind to a table.

you can add a handler to the Closed event of the add user form that calls the bindComboBox function. before you do form.show you'd have form.closed += new eventhandler ect... calling update on a data adapter simply tells the adapter to update the table in the db with any changes that have happened to its data..not the other way around. Unless the stored update command has a select appended to it to return the new result set of the initial select query.
to summarize you'd need a function that loads the data to the comboBox (be sure to clear its items before you update it again or the items could duplicate), and in the btnAddUser_Click event you just add a new event handler to the AddUserForm.Closed event that will then call your function that loads the comboBox...i dont know if this is the best way to do it, but its probably the simplest.

You don't bind controls to the database table. You bind them to a copy of the records retrieved from that table. In order for you to see the changes, you have to requery the database to return the updated records and rebind to the new copy of the records.

Hello
I wanted to use a masked text box for some trivial need in data entry :
Limit to some allowe char
Example :
"YN<space>"
or
"X"
or
"AKLV"
But such trivial thing doen't seems to be possible with maskedtexbox or at least not good documented !
Does anyone have an idea how to do this with csharp
Obviously I can probably manage keyboard event to do this.
But in such case I will write my own maskedtextbox to replace this poor one !
|

|

Handle the Text-Changed event, and just check the string that's in the box.

Thank a lot John
I will do so
But I realize now that the use of masked text box is very limited
I don't even need a masked text box to do that !
I can't believe that they don't even think for such need
Use a regular expression in the mask for example !
|
|
|
|

Given your examples, I'd say it would be impossible to build a mask for that. The best you could do is to force all-uppercase alphabetic characters, but you'd still have to control which characters and how many in your code.
