I'm not sure where you're stuck. If you put the names into the list, you can get your number out by adding one to the selected index.

Re: Month Problem

Hi You can use DateTime.ToString method to achive this...

This code will help you out

for(int month=1; month<=12; month++)
	dd.Items.Add(DateTime.Parse(string.Format("{0}/1/1", month)).ToString("MMM"));

If you need full name of month then use MMMM instead of MMM.

Hi all,

I am able to fetch the SID of the user from Active Directory in C#, and I am looking for a way of converting this SID to string format. Also it is required to convert string format to SID using C#.

The code sample for converting from a binary SID to a String SID is easily available, and I can find a C++ function to do this. Is there any way to do in c#

Declaring Instance Class variable as Static , any problem in Runtime ?

Hi,
If I have class named "setting_dataTableAdapter" and I want to instantiate this class with a variable settingsAdapter and declare the variable as static, will it be a problem in runtime ? I needed to do that because, this settingsAdapter variable should be a global variable so that all methods can access and at the same time I have static methods who can take only static variables so I had to adopt the following code.

static setting_dataTableAdapter settingsAdapter = new setting_dataTableAdapter();

Please let me know your opinion.
Thanks.

i think you are missing public keyword...

try the below.

public static setting_dataTableAdapter settingsAdapter = new setting_dataTableAdapter();

Where there is a will,there is a way.

I have actually done that with QBASIC running on Windows NT 4.0. I used the Peek statement. As for C# and pointers you cannot read farther than where your application's allocated memory ends. I dont know of any API that would allow you to read anything from the BIOS, but you could write a driver and then use C# to interface with it's API

static int Sqrt(int x){ if (x<0) throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException();    int temp, y=0, b=0x8000, bshft=15, v=x; do { if (v>=(temp=(y<<1)+b<<bshft--)) { y+=b; v-=temp; } } while ((b>>=1)>0); return y; :omg:

Using Unmanaged C++ Structure in C#

VFaul28-Sep-06 11:04

28-Sep-06 11:04

How do I convert the following unmanaged C++ structures in C# (which I will be using in PInvoke calls)?

typedef struct
{
unsigned char Camera;
unsigned char DecoderId;
} VIDEO_SEQ_CMD;

typedef struct
{
int CompressionMode;
VIDEO_SEQ_CMD VideoSequence[64];
} USER_CONFIG_DATA;

I think the following works for the first struct. I'm not sure how to handle the array in the second struct.

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Explicit, CharSet = CharSet.Ansi)]
public struct VideoSeqCmd
{
[FieldOffset(0), MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U1)]
public byte Camera;
[FieldOffset(1), MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U1)]
public byte DecoderId;
}

Thanks!

multiple monitor question

likefood28-Sep-06 10:07

28-Sep-06 10:07

I'm trying to set the desktop location of my program to a certain location on the overall desktop (between all monitors). It comes up in the right location, but only on the monitor from which it was launched. I want it to come up at location (0,0) of the left-most monitor, not (0,0) on the monitor it was launched from.

How do I do that (regardless of how the user has set up their monitor locations)?

I'm trying to do my own screensaver that spreads itself across all monitors, not just duplicates itself on each. I tried to maximize it, but it maximizes only on one monitor, not all of them...

Take a look at the Screen class, this has a PrimaryScreen property as well as a Screens property which may be of some help to you.

If you're stuck in a rut:
1) Consult the documentation*
2) Google it
3) Ask a sensible question
4) Try an ancient ritualistic knowledge summoning ( Badger | [badger,badger,badger,badger...]

Badger | [badger,badger,badger,badger...]

) dance

5) Phone

You need to iterate over the Screens collection and find out which screen has the leftmost position. Take a look at the screensaver I wrote with James T Johnson, it's a CP article, and it ran multimonitor. I'm writing an app now that runs on as many monitors as are running, the Screens collection has never let me down.
