Hi LuciR,
Thanks for ur informative reply. Actually i want to do my course project of database design in C#. Previously I use Oracle SQL for doing this and visual basic as front end. Now i want to implement this using C#, but i want someone to guide me in right direction as i am new to C# databases. Here is wht i am plannin to implement...
1) To design and implement a database (with more than 3 tables) for an application (planning to implement aitport database).
2) To Design a set of transactions for my database and application. But my prof has given the following options. "Each transaction can be implemented in
C, Visual C++, Visual Basic, Access Basic, or any other high-level language that
can embed SQL statements.". But I want to use C# instead of those. I want to know whether it is possible and whether it is easy to implement.
I also want to implement dynamic creation of tables if possible.
Hope you will guide me in right direction and gimme some suggestions.
Thanks,
Suman

The database design depends on the specific project and its requirements. I don't know what it is about, so I can't help here.

The transactions can be something like add record (INSERT SQL statement, whatever you are storing), delete record (DELETE), edit (UPDATE) o get info (SELECT).
You can do it in C# very easily with ADO.NET. Search CP for the articles on ADO.NET and you will find how easy is to execute a query and examine the results.
As for the database backend, you say you have used Oracle before. Using SQL Server is almost the same (well, basically) so you should have no problems getting started.
Good luck!

Hi LuisR,
Thanks again for ur reply. Ok here is the thing I will use access to create database tables. But can you guide me or gimme some good starting tutorials on how i can use ADo and SQL query to update my access database. Like inserting, updating, deleting, retreiving, joining, projecting etc.
Thanks again for ur help,
Suman

Hi,
Thanks for your tutorial/article. Can you tell me how i can start/begin programming in c#, like which form i have to open and wht i have to do.
I am askin too much details, sorry for that. I am new to this section of C# databases. If i use access database how i can do my programming in c#. Orelse i there any other easy or new way to create database(more importantly data tables)?
thanks in advance,
Pavan.

If you`re a beginner in C#,then I suggest you try learning the language first and understand the difference between c++ and C#. If you started from C. Try http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/[^] , there are many tutorial about C# there. That`s where I got started. Good luck with your learning.

You can look into C# Database[^] section of this site which has so many examples.

I'm looking for a button that has an arrow next to it, and the arrow drops a list of buttons, and whichever button is pressed becomes the main button. I'm sure Word and the VS/NET IDE have them, but I can't see any evidence that they are not custom controls. I'm just double checking before writing my own....

As a standalone button there is nothing like this in the framework. But the ToolBar has this (its called DropDownButton) as a special button style.
I never tried how this looks but you could just drop a very small toolbar with just one button onto your form...

Hello,
I have an ImageList of 16x16 images, which I populate by calling AddStrip, so all images come from the same BMP file. Is there a way to get an Image object for one of the images (say, the one with index 3)?
Thanks in advance,

Try imageList1.Images(3)

That won't do it. That collection contains the source images (in this case, only one, my single .BMP file.)
I was thinking that I will probably have to create an in-memory image, and draw the corresponding image from the imagelist there.

Been reading CP for over a year - great site! first post (be nice  )
smidge of history: I've been working with C# for over a year and a half. This includes two applications with over two months of development each written almost completely by myself in use by customers in a commercial enviroment. I've converted a bunch of my friends from MFC evilness to C# Forms.
My problem: I'm creating a UserControl that shows a Direct3D (9.0C) drawing. I've created the panel and had it just clear the background to blue. Built. Dropped the user control (DXPanel - my name) into the form via the Designer. It runs properly. I then added a simple 2D triangle to the DXPanel, and now the Designer hangs whenever I attempt to touch the position or size of the panel or form. It is rendering the Direct3D within the Designer.
three questions (only need answer to one of them):
1. How do I tell the Designer to not show that custom panel while still allowing the built program to show the panel?
2. How do I tell the Designer to not render Direct3D stuff in general?
3. Is there a fix so that the Designer won't hang when rendering Direct3D?

|

Use this where it applies:
if (!this.DesignMode)
{
//Direct3D rendering code
}

I am trying to access some functionality of the underlying RichTextBox
control and am getting all mixed up with conversions of types. I know my
basic issue is not completely understanding types in C#. I would
be much obliged if someone could "educate" me some. I appoligize already for the
amount of text in this message. Italic text is unmanged code and bold text is my
attempt to write the same thing in C#.
Since I need to use the SendMessage of User32.dll I defined the following:
[DLLImport ("user32.dll")]
private static extern IntPtr SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, int msg, IntPtr
wParam, IntPtr lParam);
Then I'm trying to create the equivalent code in C# for the following
callback function:
DWORD EditStreamCallback(DWORD_PTR dwCookie, LPBYTE pbBuff, LONG cb, LONG
*pcb);
by defining the following delegate:
public delegate UInt32 EditStreamCallback(IntPtr dwCookie, IntPtr pbBuff,
Int32 cb, IntPtr pcb);
That seems to work well (at least for the compiler).
I then "translated" the following typedef:
typedef struct _editstream {
DWORD_PTR dwCookie;
DWORD dwError;
EDITSTREAMCALLBACK pfnCallback;
} EDITSTREAM
into the following structure:
private struct EDITSTREAM {
public IntPtr dwCookie;
public UInt32 dwError;
public EditStreamCallback pfnCallback;
}
So with all the definitions out of the way I thought I could do something
like this:
...
FileStream fs = new FileStream(Filename, FileMode.Open);
int format = SF_RTF;EDITSTREAM es = new EDITSTREAM();
es.dwCookie = (IntPtr)fs;
es.pfnCallback = new EditStreamCallback(StreamIn);
SendMessage(this.Handle, EM_STREAMIN, (IntPtr)format, (IntPtr)es);
...
but now the complier isn't happy and I get "Cannot convert type 'x' to
System.IntPtr" errors where I try to cast to IntPtr. It was my
understanding the "new" creates a reference type (i.e. memory address,
e.g. pointer) So, why can't I cast to IntPtr here? It is interesting to
note that there is no error on the cast of "format". Now on the flip side
I have the following code:
static UInt32 StreamIn(IntPtr dwCookie, IntPtr pbBuff, Int32 cb, IntPtr
pcb)
{
UInt32 result = 0;
FileStream fs = (FileStream)dwCookie;
pcb = cb;
try
{
pcb = fs.Read((byte[])pbBuff, 0, cb);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
pcb = 0;
result = 1;
}
return result;
}
This is the callback function delegate used above. I get compile time
errors at the attempted unboxing of dwCookie and pbBuff.
Also there is an error at pcb = cb ("cannot implictly convert int to IntPtr")
I know I am asking alot here but I am really stuck and since I'm trying to learn C# on
my own I could really use some help. Am I correct in using IntPtr for the changes in types
from the Unmanaged code to C#?
Thank you in advance,
Eric

if Delphi we can check the windows versions like here:
{$IFDEF WIN32}
...
{$ELSE}
...
{$ENDIF}

I just search the Platform SDK include dir for the symbol in question. Those are the official definitions, after all. winuser.h has this line:
#define RT_RCDATA MAKEINTRESOURCE(10) so it's 10. I don't know how you'd do this without the C header files though.

Hi...
I want to get a info about the logical drives on the computer...
My code looks like this..
private void logiskdrev()
{
string[] Drives = Directory.GetLogicalDrives();
foreach(string drive in Drives)
{
MessageBox.Show(drive.ToString());
}
}
but that only gives me the name/path (ex. "c:\", "i:\")
Can anyone tell/show me how to get info about the type! (like if it is a hdd, cd-drive or flashdisk)
And...
If you could tell/show me how to get the name too? (I have a drive called windows (c:\)) how can i get the name of the drive??
Thanks

Hi!
You can get more information about your volumes by using WMI.
The class is Win32_LogicalDisk and it holds information on the type of drive, its filesystem or label: Win32_LogicalDisk on MSDN[^].
