I have a login web page writtin in C#.Net, when the user logs to goes against AD, if that is successful, then it passes the user name and password to an exe that is also written in C#.Net that checks if the user name is sync with our other network applications.

The problem I am having is that user can not have any spaces in there password, if they do it will get chopped of any not sync the correct password to the apps, any ideas on how I can fix this problem?

Thanks

Have a look at the parameters that you are passing. You might try putting quotes around them: "
This will not parse as part of the parameters; but be sure to escape any existing "s appropriately.

By the way, its extremely bad practice passing passwords as command-line parameters: I'd suggest trying to have the password checked by your web app against the domain, and then just passing the user's name itself to your separate application to do whatever it does with it.

Hi guyz.

I am trying to lock the bits of a gif image which is 32-bit. However, I am getting an invalid parameter on this code :

BitmapData bmData = b.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, b.Width, b.Height), <br />
        ImageLockMode.ReadWrite, PixelFormat.Format32BppArgb);

where b is the bitmap variable in which I load the image in!

Can any body help out on this? because I really have no idea now...since in 24-bit withPixelFormat24BppRgb(bmp + jpg) worked correctly!

Confused | :confused:

Try 8bitIndexed pixel format

Hello

Why do you think your GIF image is 32-bit ? You can check the PixelFormat property and you will see, that it's Format8bppIndexed.

You can try to use ImageLockMode.ReadOnly mode or lock your image with PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed or convert your image to 32-bit before (which will be useful if you are planning some image processing routines).

With best regards,
Andrew

Hello.

You can use the next code:

// create new image with desired pixel format
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(width, height, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);

// draw source image on the new one using Graphics
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp);
g.DrawImage(src, 0, 0, width, height);
g.Dispose();

Why Leave the user defined control make the changes of the combobox?

Hi all
I met this problem several times. There are a combobox and a userdefined control in a form. First I select an item from a comboboxlist, then I focus the cursor into the user defined control. When I leave the user defined control, the combobox selected item will be changed automatically, it generally be set to blank. I met this problem every time I want to integrate a user control into a form with a combobox. I don't understand this. Does anybody meet this problem before???
Thanks in advance!

Binding a property to a textbox problem

Hello Everybody!!!
I build a Machine class with its properties. Then I try to bind a textbox.Text to one of the machine properties. It works fine. But when I change the property in code, the textbox.Text doesn't change synchronisely. I try to use the CurrencyManager to refresh the databinding. But because the binding is not an array or datatable, I can't get the CurrencyManager from the BindingContext. I want to use the BindingManager to achieve the synchronisation. But I don't know if there is a way to do it. Could somebody tell me how to make the textbox.Text synchronisely display the result as the machine property please???
Thanks in advance

Are the forms controls marked as private? If they are you won't be able to see them outside of the form's class. Mark them as public or provide a public method to set them.

TransparencyKey does not work in combination with Opacity!

Hello Everybody!

I have a VS 2003 application where I have a Form (Formx.Show();).
I tried to make an fading style by changing the "Opacity" Property.
This works so far, but the transparent color (Property "TransparencyKey") is then painted on the screen.
If I do not change the Opacity, the Trancparent Color is not painted.

I hope somebody has an workaround for my problem.

Thank you for your time.

Pointers in struct to itself

Dominik Reichl2-Oct-05 22:13

Hi!

I want to define a structure that has 2 pointers to the same type as itself. For example, think of a Huffman tree node. In C++ we did it like this:

typedef struct
{
    unsigned int code;
    unsigned int count;
    HUFFTREENODE *l;
    HUFFTREENODE *r;
} HUFFTREENODE;

Now, how can we do the same in C#? I tried this:

public struct HuffTreeNode
{
    uint code;
    uint count;
    HuffTreeNode l;
    HuffTreeNode r;
}

But it gives me an error that this would create a loop in the struct...

Thanks in advance and best regards
Dominik

_outp(0x64, 0xAD);
and
__asm mov al, 0xAD __asm out 0x64, al
do the same... but what do they do??

You'd probably want to do something like:

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct HuffTreeNode
{
    uint code;
    uint count;
    IntPtr leftNode;
    IntPtr rightNode;
}

and then use Marshal.StructureToPtr[^] and Marshal.PtrToStructure[^] to convert the struct to/from a pointer

Thanks! Interestingly, when I replace 'struct' by 'class', the code I posted first compiles nicely (why??)...

What do you think is more efficient? Making the thingy a class or leaving it as struct and using Marshal.etc? I won't have that many nodes, only about 66000...

Thanks again and best regards

Structs should (mostly) only used for Interop calls. As it seems you're designing a Huffman class library, with no interop calls, I'd create it as a class.

Structs are value types, classes are reference types, that's why it compiles when you use class but not when you use struct.

In a class you can easily have a reference to another class (even to itself), but in a struct the compiler would have to allocate space for the contents of the struct. That's why a struct must not contain itself.

I need to make the form transparent so that the bitmap appears to be floating on the screen (ie without a border). I managed to do this using TransparencyKey for Windows 2000. But this is not supported in Windows XP. Please inform me on how to accomplish this in XP. Thanks

Use (local). It is recgonized by the SQL Server provider as the local computer, while localhost must be resolved, and it dependes on your local network configuration.

Yes, you can either try local or you can even use a . in the place of Server name as SQL will resolve it to your local SQL Server. In can use have more than one instance of SQL server installed, then pls use local\<InstanceName>. For example, I have two instances of SQL Server one SQL Server 2000 which is installed with out any specific instance and and hence local and two SQL Server 2005 Beta named as SQL2K5. When I need to connect to SQL Server 2000, I use . or local and when I need to connect to SQL Server 2005, I use local\SQL2K5.

Hope this helps you.
