Thanks for the reply!
I'm not sure if you read my example but what I had demonstrated was the exact same text and both bounds widths would have been plenty wide to accept the text on one line. I realize that word wrapping can occur for long strings but this example shouldn't do that.
Any other ideas?
If you could rent a programmer a hour and a half for a dollar and a half, how much would he charge for 10 hours?

Hi,
your example wasn't clear to me, you did not show the values you got for s1 and s2;
and I don't know whether wrapping occurs or not.
If you allow for a few spare pixels, in my experience MeasureString very well predicts
what DrawString will do, provided you give them the exact same job (string, font, width,
etc). (There is at least one CP article explaining minor errors in MeasureString, hence
the spare pixels; these errors never bothered me).
If you need more help, please provide more details, actual values; also I suggest you
look at the DrawString results, and if relevant show it to us too.

Hello All,
Just a question (or opinions),
In Unix I can "tail" a file, whereby I can dynamically see what is being written to the file in real time (explaination is for those who don't know!).
Can something like this be acheived with C# and a windows form?
Thanks for the thoughts and have a great weekend.

It is a great idea to search (google) and re-search (CP).

Hi,
Yes you can do it in this manner,,
StreamWriter SW;
SW=File.AppendText("C:\\MyTextFile.txt");
SW.WriteLine("This Line Is Appended");
SW.Close();
Console.WriteLine("Text Appended Successfully");
Regards,

Hey im new to C# and I have to say i like it alot. my question is in a windows app (not console) is there a way to tell your program to read a specific line from a text file?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe yes, maybe no.
Text files are (generally) sequential rather than indexed.
Without an index you can't just jump to a "line" and read it; you need to read until you find what you want.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, if the file is not very huge (hint for very huge: size greater than 75% of your RAM), use File.ReadAllLines method to store the data of file in a string array, and depending on the input from the user (or whatever) display the line.
HTH.

The third answer you got was the right one, I just want to add, this code does not change if you're working on a console app, because it has nothing to do with the presentation part of the program.

Unable to install and run .Net application which uses COM Interop. Please offer suggestions.
The Following message occurs on the target machine:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComException(0x80040112): Creating an instance of the COM component with CLSID {248DD896-BB45-11CF-9ABC-0080C7E7B78D } from the IClassFactory failed due to the following error: 80040112
At Esc.Tos.Utilities.TCP.escTCP..ctor()
At clsTCP..ctror()
At mdlMain.ConfigureGlobalItems(frmMain theForm)
At frmMAin..ctor()
At Program.Main()
Of course the application runs dandy on the development box, and other development boxes.
Background and useful information:
1) Com object 248DD896-BB45-11CF-9ABC-0080C7E7B78D is the Winsock v.6 control.
2) On the target machine there is application A and application B
Application A is a VB6 application which uses said COM object and sends TCP Messages
Therefore, I assume that com object is correctly install and functional.
Application B is My .Net application and throws the above error.
Things I have tried:
1) Copy OCX locally and reregister
2) Run RegASM on the Interop Assemblies
3) Clean the registry
4) Validated the Interop code is pointing to the correct OCX. (using Lutz)
5) Installed applicaiton onto alternate development box using xcopy and life is good.

Yeah, don't use COM Interop.

Install VB6 tools on the machine you need to deploy.....it will do all what is necessary to run it!

VB6 Tools? I am not familar with that product, Could you include a link. Googling it gives me ... lots of similar stuff.

I found that in Visual Studio 6 installation once i needed!
The issue is with registry entries, if you run VS6 installation and install only Tools from it, hopefully the problem will be solved.
Additionally, this might be helpful http://support.microsoft.com/kb/146219[^]

Alright, here is the solution. There is a licenes registry key missing. The most likely violates some eula somewhere. so use with caution. but adding this key will reactiviate the winsock.ocx
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Licenses\2c49f800-c2dd-11cf-9ad6-0080c7e7b78d]
@ = "mlrljgrlhltlngjlthrligklpkrhllglqlrk"

Hi
I'm trying to write a WM 5.0 console application which can send string data to a text box on a web page (Internet Explorer). Any suggestions on this?
|
|
|
|
|
I should mention this is a C# console application
|
|
|
|
|
I thought I would also mention that this sample code below for win32 c# does nothing. It runs but no message is displayed in the console. I'm using VS 2005. I find this example all over the net.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
[DllImport("msvcrt.dll")]
public static extern int puts(
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)]
string m);
[DllImport("msvcrt.dll")]
internal static extern int _flushall();
public static void Main()
{
puts("Hello World!");
_flushall();
return;
}
}
}

For mentioning and re-mentioning, you can always use Edit link at bottom right of your post.

The only way to send text to a web page, is to host that web page in your own windows application, so you can directly access and change the HTML of the page.

I dug in to some very old c code of mine for the solution. I didn't expect it to work but I'm not complaining. Here is the SIMPLE solution for anyone that is interested:
Add to your project:
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
[DllImport("coredll.dll")]
static extern void keybd_event(byte bVk, byte bScan, uint dwFlags,
int dwExtraInfo);
Then add this function, please note many of the original C constants are not valid in C# but you can look them up and define them for WM 5.0 if you need them. My app only needed to worry about alphanumeric data, no special characters.
static void SendKeyStroke(int mevent)
{
//*******************************************************
//send character to screen by simulating a key press
//*******************************************************
int evt = 0;
byte keyCode = 0x00;
//SPECIAL KEYS *************
const int KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY = 0x1;
const int KEYEVENTF_KEYUP = 0x2;
const int VK_RETURN = 0x0D;
const int VK_SHIFT = 0x10;
const int VK_SPACE = 0x20;
//**************************
evt = mevent;
/*
//these codes are not defined

case 258: evt = VK_DOWN; break; //down arrow

I have two forms, Form1 and Form2. I am trying to pass struct data from Form1 to Form 2 and each time, I get these errors:
C:\WINXP\Profiles\Owner\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Object\Object\Form1.cs(29,25): error CS1502: The best overloaded method match for 'Object.Form2.Form2(Object.Form2.client)' has some invalid arguments
C:\WINXP\Profiles\Owner\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Object\Object\Form1.cs(29,35): error CS1503: Argument '1': cannot convert from 'Object.Form1.client' to 'Object.Form2.client'
My Form1.cs is:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace Object
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
public struct client
{
public string ClientMatter;
public string ClientName;
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
client mary;
mary.ClientName = "mary";
Form2 frm = new Form2(mary);
frm.Show();
}
}
}
My Form2 code is:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace Object
{
public partial class Form2 : Form
{
public struct client
{
public string ClientMatter;
public string ClientName;
}
public Form2(client mary)
{
InitializeComponent();
label1.Text = mary.ClientName;
}
private void Form2_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
}
}

You have two different client types in different scopes. The two types are:
Object.Form1.client
Object.Form2.client
Basically, you have nested the definition of the struct inside the form class. The client struct definition should be placed outside the class.
Extract one client struct out from the form class and delete the other client struct definition.
