create object of arraylist
ArrayList aList=new ArrayList();
then fill the Arraylist and finally create one object of datatable
and then give the DatSource as Arraylist object ( i.e. aList) and then bind it refer below code;
datatableobject.DataSource = aList;
datatableobject.DataBind();
It will be work !!!!!!!1

Hi guys,
I think I need some serious painkillers on this!
Short version:
Can anybody explain in details how to expose a C# WinForms Control as ActiveX control. Either via hosting it in a MFC ActiveX control or by implementing it completely in C# (implementing all interfaces, registration/unregistration stuff, events).
Perhaps somebody has a template project for this problem where I just can drop in my Windows Forms Control and is willing to share it with me and the others (sounds like XMas, I know).
Bloody details:
We have a large client application with lots of legacy code that implements an ActiveX container. So you can add e.g. GUI components by providing new ActiveX controls. Since we have almost year 2007 we want to develop new GUI components with Windows Forms instead of the existing MFC/OWL stuff (yes! OWL!  ). We recently migrated to Visual Studio 2005 (.NET 2.0).
As far as I can see there are 2 main approaches:
(Approach 1) Use of a MFC ActiveX control for hosting the Windows Forms control and use the new MFC 8.0 template classes CWinFormsDialog[^] or CWinFormsView[^] for adding the WinForms control to a CDialog/CView.
(Approach 2) Implement all necessary COM interfaces completely in C# and make them visible to COM and do the extra COM registration/unregistration stuff as explained here[^]. So the resulting component would be completely written in C# with no other languages involved. Furthermore we have about half a dozen COM interfaces for communication between the client and the ActiveX component. These interfaces must be implemented too. Sounds like very much more work than approach one.
So we decided to follow approach one - hosting a WinForms control within a MFC ActiveX control. What a pain until now!
This is what we did (following the MSDN examples[^]):
(1) Created an "empty" MFC ActiveX control, with all of our COM interfaces, showing an empty CDialog. Works flawlessly when added to the client application or to the ActiveX Control Test Container.
(2) Enabled Common Language Runtime Support (/clr) for the project. After fixing some compiler warnings the project compiles fine to MSIL.
( #1) Here is already the first major problem: When the project is started after '/clr' is activated, Visual Studio 2005 locks up completely while loading the CLR DLLs (e.g. 'mscoree.dll', 'mscorwks.dll'). There is no error message or crash, but VS2005 hangs infinitely and the only thing to do is killing the 'devenv.exe' process. Why is this?  But it's possible to start the application regularly! Only when started via VS2005 it hangs. The ActiveX still shows up correctly when the application is not launched via VS2005.
(3) Since I found no solution for this problem I sighed and added a CWinFormsControl member to the "empty" CDialog as described in the MSDN example here[^] (which works by the way perfectly when used in a stand alone dialog application). I tried two variants:
CWinFormsControl<WinFormsCtrl::UserControl1> m_WinFormsCtrl;
CWinFormsControl<System::Windows::Forms::LinkLabel> m_WinFormsCtrl; The result was the same in both cases:
( #2) When the ActiveX is about to be displayed it crashes in 'CWinFormsControl<TManagedControl>::InternalCreateManagedControl' (<VS2005-install-path>\vc\atlmfc\include\afxwinforms.inl). Output window says: A first chance exception of type 'System.AccessViolationException' occurred in <MyActiveX>.OCX
I got this information by attaching to the application process with VS2005 when the application is already running.
I read several threads where members of the Visual Studio Team and MVP's are saying that MFC 7.1/8.0 are officially supported unmanaged hosts for Windows Forms controls, just like Internet Explorer. But it seems not to apply for MFC ActiveX controls!?
P.S.: I already tried it in the C++/CLI board but got no answer at all.
cheers,

If they give you lined paper, write the other way!

C'mon... doesn't anybody have experience with hosting WinForms controls inside MFC ActiveX controls?
There must be lots of large "legacy" applications out there which implement an ActiveX container for (GUI) extensions.
Any help is appreciated, even comments like "Careful, you'll likely get burned using this approach, because ..."

I'm sure the barcode reader will have a well documented API - you should read that documentation. The vast majority of people here probably don't know anything about barcode reader. The manufacturer of the reader will probably have a forum where you can ask if you are still stuck.

hi,
any barcode reader device will read only 'valid' barcodes. a barcode is valid only if it satisfies a criteria. please look on the internet for differnet barcode standards like EAN8 (8 digits), EAN13 (13 digits), UPC-A (12 ditits),UPC-E (8?) etc. as long as its valid and readable, it will be read by any scanner and scanner will transmit data to your host just like keyboard. please note that scanners normally automatically transmit EnterKey char at end of barcode.
regards.

I’m studying computer programming, and I’m a little puzzled by the Composite design pattern.
In "Design Patterns in C#" by Steven John Metsker, Addison-Wesley, it says: COMPOSITE lets clients treat individual objects and compositions of objects uniformly.
And in "Programming C#", O'Reilly, it says about polymorphism: Thus, polymorphism refers to being able to use many forms of a type without regards to the details.
Is this not one and the same thing?
Programming is like Mathematics… you take ONE step at the time!

Polymorphism is one pillar of the OOP paradigm.
Composite is a design pattern, i.e. a very good solution to a well known problem.
I think you have to learn more about both OOP and design pattern techniques.
If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler.

Polymorphism: being able to treat a car as an vehicle - using a base class reference to call virtual methods.
Composite: making a car of individual parts (motor etc.) and being able to treat both the motor and the whole car the same, e.g. calling Repair() on them.
The Composite pattern uses polymorphism (as most design patterns do), but it isn't the same thing.

I believe what you are looking for are autohide docking panes. The following link should bring you to a fairly good article on doing this. By doing a quick search on the site you can find many controls similar to this. http://www.codeproject.com/vb/net/DockPanelSkin.asp[^]

At the min im using c# and im not really too familiar with it, i have created a form with a piano on it in which all the keys are buttons and you press them and the internal beeper beeps, you can select your tempo and how long your note is and the duration of note or rest. This records all the info in a text file and then you put in the left hand, this places it into another text file. when you want to listn to the recording the files are mixed into one where all the notes that collide are seperated and sound as if they actually are two notes together because the console.beep function only allows one note at a time. I would really like to use midi or something to that affect that plays sound through either a sound card or just the speakers(through an internal sound board or whatever), ive looked at loads of c++ tutorials and vb ones too but there not much good to me because im not greate at importing dlls although im starting to understand it a bit.
Can anyone help me in any way, my email is bobjamin@aol.com. Its much appriciated.

You want to use DirectSound. Any examples in VB.NET will move to C# very easily.

It sounds to me like you'd do better to concentrate on core concepts before learning another library ( DirectX ). However, if that's what it takes to keep it fun for you, go for it. The DirectX SDK comes with plenty of samples in C# and VB.NET.

In my .NET app, I instantiate a COM object from an installed application.
public static BobsPossesionsApp bob = null; // will later hold instance of BobsPossesionsApp
bob = new BobLib.BobsPossesionsApp();
IBobsHatsCollection hats = bob.Hats;
IHat firstHat = hats[0];
I was quite surprised to find that properties of firstHat could change in my application, if the Bobs Possessions application had changed them. In other words, the user is running Bobs Possesions, and my application creates an instance of the application and gets a Hat object from it. Back in the Bobs Possessions application, the user changes the color of Hat to red. And voila! - firstHat.Color changes from black to red in my application.
This surprised me, but I can live with. And I can even take advantage of it. However, if IBobsHatsCollection doesn't offer me any events to update me, how can I tell in my code when that Hat object has changed?
I would like an event to fire, that I can handle (as opposed to having to periodically poll the Hat.Color property). How can this be done? Can I get notification that a COM object has changed, if the COM server doesn't offer a notification interface?
I tried sticking the object in a Table, but none of the Table/Row/Column change notifications fired...

Hello World,
I'm trying to serialize a very basic object from a class I created in order to return it from a web service. However, the serialized object is always empty.
Can anybody help me with this please? Here's the short code and the response I get from the web service:
Thanks in advance!
<br />
[Serializable()]<br />
public class StatusCode : ISerializable<br />
{<br />
private bool _success = false;<br />
private string _statusCode;<br />
private string _statusMessage;<br />
<br />
public StatusCode() { }<br />
<br />
public StatusCode(bool success, string statusCode, string statusMessage) {<br />
_success = success;<br />
_statusCode = statusCode;<br />
_statusMessage = statusMessage;<br />
}<br />
<br />
public bool Success {<br />
get { return _success; }<br />
}<br />
<br />
public string statusCode<br />
{<br />
get { return _statusCode; }<br />
}<br />
<br />
public string statusMessage<br />
{<br />
get { return _statusMessage; }<br />
}<br />
<br />
public StatusCode(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext ctxt)<br />
{<br />
_success = (bool)info.GetValue("Success", typeof(bool));<br />
_statusCode = (String)info.GetValue("StatusCode", typeof(string));<br />
_statusMessage = (String)info.GetValue("StatusMessage", typeof(string));<br />
}<br />
<br />
public void GetObjectData(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext ctxt)<br />
{<br />
info.AddValue("Success", _success);<br />
info.AddValue("StatusCode", _statusCode);<br />
info.AddValue("StatusMessage", _statusMessage);<br />
}<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <br />

Then I am afraid you're dreaming. Write some more simple programs that lead up to this, which means you need to learn C#, DirectShow, and Direct3D, at least.

hi
i want to protect my avi videos. my suggestion is encrypt it on hdd and play only with my Player, but how to do this ?
can Somebody any idea for solve this problem ?
thanks.

you've got two options. You can buy a commercial DRM system and loose all protection when one of the hhundreds of cracker groups eventually beat it. Or you can write your own, in which case one of the cracker groups will probabably find an easyly exploitable oversite in your code and crack it within weeks of it becoming popular enough to get any attention. Either way you loose, and once one person cracks the protection it'll be all over P2P. The only protection against this is to make your content suck so noone wants it in the first place.
If you write your own, use a standard codec interface. Unless you're google noone'll be interested in your new proprietary player.

Easy. Don't create your video content in the first place! It's the only way to keep it secure.
