Hence why only those objects which implement IDisposible can be used within a using block.

In this case foreBrush is an instance of SolidBrush and that implements IDisposible

I know. I just thought that it could be like

finally
{
IDisposable thing;
if ((thing = foreBrush as IDisposable) != null)
  thing.Dispose();
}

OK, it's better how it is.

The code wouldn't compile if Brush didn't implement IDisposable. The compiler would complain that the type used in the "using" statement cannot be disposed, or something similar to that. So there's no question of a runtime crash.

Hi , Senthil , does that mean, after foreBrush is disposed, if following code gona use it , then it will be constucted again ??

No, it means that foreBrush will be disposed only at the end of its block. So

using (Brush foreBrush = new Brush())
   using (Brush backBrush = new Brush())
   {
   }// dispose backBrush
// dispose foreBrush as the block ends here.

there is no ";" after the using( Brush foreBrush = new SolidBrush(this.ForeColor) ).
it behaves like the if clause. you can use it like this:

if (x == true)
  if (y==true)
   { 
    ... code in block ...
   }

or like this:

if (x == true)
{
  if (y==true)
   { 
    ... code in block ...
   }
}

if there would be a semicolon right after the using statement your assumption that the foreBrush should be disposed would be true.

Look at the System.Diagnostics.Process class. You can start a process and intercept its output to your own stream. You pass the name of the app into a ProcessStartInfo object just like you would pass the name of the app in the command window.

You might be better off asking this question on the icsharpcode website, as this is a 3rd party library. Additionally, a web search brings up some results such as this one[^].

Retrieve Method Name during Runtime

I have a method, for ex:

<br />
public void test()<br />
{<br />
string MethodName = ????   <br />
MessageBox.Show(MethodName);<br />
}<br />

Is it possible to get method name information ?

Re: Retrieve Method Name during Runtime

S. Senthil Kumar3-Jun-05 4:05

This piece of code

string methodName = MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name;

does the trick. MethodBase is in the System.Reflection namespace.

You mean, like:

Trace.Assert(Location != null, "Location is null.");

found in the System.Diagnostics namespace?

Maybe you mean checking in the database whether that value is null? That would be reader.IsDBNull(0)

// HTML 3.2, HTML 4.0 or CrystalReport

but not txt ????

string exportFilePath = "c:\\Report1.txt";
// Create an instance of the untyped report object

// Load the report from disk
oRpt.Load(@"C:\Aloha\RPTFOH\Report_1.rpt");

// Set the options for saving the exported file to disk DiskFileDestinationOptions oDest = new DiskFileDestinationOptions();

// Set the exporting information
ExportOptions oExport = oRpt.ExportOptions;

// Set the destination options
oExport.DestinationOptions = oDest;

// Set the location, this can be:

Identical types not equal?!

shambulator3-Jun-05 1:10

shambulator

3-Jun-05 1:10

I've implemented a custom UITypeEditor for a collection-based property (PropertyInfoCollection). In the GetEditStyle and EditValue methods, I check the type of the value passed (using ITypeDescriptorContext.PropertyDescriptor and value.GetType() in GetEditStyle and EditValue, respectively) and compare them against typeof( PropertyInfoCollection ) using Type.Equals to ensure that only the correct types are edited. Although the two sides of the comparison should be the same type (they do have the same names, versions, assemblies, public key tokens etc. but not the same hash codes...) the test for equality fails if I close the solution, reopen it and try to edit the property. Forcibly casting the property value in EditValue from object to PropertyInfoCollection also results in an InvalidCastException. The test succeeds again (and the cast works) if I rebuild the solution.

Should I be checking types differently? The different hash codes reported for (ostensibly) the same type suggest that the type is perhaps getting loaded twice, and the two different Type instances are not equated. Is this even possible?

Re: Identical types not equal?!

Roger Alsing3-Jun-05 4:11

Since this is a UITypeEditor related question i guess you are doing some sort of vs.net designtime support?

if so , have in mind that when you recompile , vs.net does not always (never?) unload the previously version of your assemblies.

I had a very similair problem when dealing with a designtime collectioneditor that cached types.
After a few recompiles , there was equally many different versions of the same classes in mem at the same time.. very annoying..

so maybe you can try to get the assembly from the type and check if the assemblys hashcodes differ aswell and maybe check verion numbers.

To make things a bit worse Smile | :)

, I also never found a solution for this Smile | :)

Hi Roger

Thanks for the response - you got it in one. A little reflection quickly established that the respective assemblies have different codebases Mad | :mad:

Hopefully this won't be a problem when the component is being used, as it shouldn't be getting rebuilt under those circumstances...

How to avoid empty node while doing xml serialization

Shiby3-Jun-05 0:46

Shiby

3-Jun-05 0:46

When I xml serialize a file, I want all the empty node should not appear. e.g.

Please ignore the format of the sample xml serialized file.
The below mentioned xml serialized file has empty region node.

[Application]
[Name]abc[/Name]
[Region/]
[/Application]

I want empty node should not appear in xml serialized file.

[Application]
[Name]abc[/Name]
[/Application]

I appreciate, if anyone has any solutions or suggestions to this, please share their knowledge.

Hi,

I want my app to make logfile(a textfile) that doesnt grows bigger than 100kb.
Is there anyway I can delete the first 6 entries (without 6 blank lines) of a textfile and add a new entry without reading the entire file in memory.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
