leppie, I don't doubt you, but in C# Express the Intellisense Forms.Form stops at ReferenceEquals and does not show WindowState at all.

Its an instance property Smile | :)

Unless C# Express is broken or it has changed in .NET 2, it has to be there! Wink | ;)

I'm not finding it in the instance object either. It is .NE 2 but it is also C# Express which at least limits some of the functionality of the framework. Though I cannot see why they would hide the WindowState property.

Thanks leppie.

Hi
I am programming in c#.net. I want to insert i record into the SQL Server database. the datetime format in SQL server is mm/dd/yyyy where as in c# its dd/mm/yyyy. therefore when i try to insert dates where the day value is greater then 12 it gives out of range error.

Is there anyway we can change the format (dd/mm/yyyy to mm/dd/yyyy) of the datetime as we insert it into the sql server database.

Use parameterizes queries, then the date format is not a problem.

If you need to format the date as a string, I suggest that you use the ISO 8601 date format, e.g. yyyy-mm-dd. It's an unambigous date format, so the database can not misinterpret it.

I think you can pass the format via the ToString method.
If all else fails: see my

It's not the best according to readers, but it works Smile | :)

hi i draw a rectangle in picterebox and i want to rotate it around it's center and i want enable doublebuffering for prevent flicker and get highest quality
for my animation but it doesn't work

the ather problem is when i call g.Dispose(); in timer1_Tick event my app is crash .where does my problem and how to animate my rectangle with
doublebuffering and highest quality without flicker my animation ???
my code here :

Graphics g;
Pen m_pen;
Matrix mat;
int angle;
bool _doBuffer;

public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint | ControlStyles.UserPaint | ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer ,true);
this.UpdateStyles();
m_pen = new Pen(Color.Violet,3);
bm = new Bitmap(src);
mat = new Matrix();
angle = 1;
_doBuffer = true;
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
g = pictureBox1.CreateGraphics();
g.DrawImage(bm,20,20,100,100);
timer1.Enabled = true;
timer1.Start();
Invalidate();
}
private Bitmap _backBuffer;
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if(_backBuffer==null)
{
_backBuffer=new Bitmap(pictureBox1.ClientSize.Width,this.ClientSize.Height);
}
Graphics g=null;
if(_doBuffer)
g=Graphics.FromImage(_backBuffer);
else
g=pictureBox1.CreateGraphics();
g.Clear(Color.White);
g.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias;
p = new Point(70,70);
mat.RotateAt(angle,p);
g.Transform = mat;
g.DrawImage(bm,10,10,100,100);
//g.Dispose();
g.DrawImageUnscaled(_backBuffer,10,10,100,100);
Invalidate();
}

You approach is wrong. Only handle painting in the OnPaint event, you can however do the rest where you have them now.

Get local time of a remote PC

Hi,
Can someone show me how to put together a C# method to read the time of a remote PC, please. Thanks so much.

An easy way to get a remote PC's current time would be to use the "NET TIME" console command. This will only work if your PC and the Remote PC are at least NT4. Also, this isn't the greatest method if you need to parse out the date time from the console output.

System.Diagnostics.Process proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();<br />
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;<br />
proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;<br />
proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;<br />
proc.StartInfo.FileName = "net";<br />
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = "time \\\\MyRemotePC";<br />
proc.Start();<br />
MessageBox.Show(proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd());<br />
proc.WaitForExit();<br />
proc.Dispose();

Hi Joshua,

Thanks for your help. I tried it and it worked. Is there a way to get the time with miliseconds also because I will also need the miliseconds?

App.config in Class Library

If you're allowed to install your own app onto the remote PC, then you could use .NET Remoting (via TCP/IP) to get the date time in any format that you want. It would take a lot more doing on your part, but it would be the most powerful because you could provide all the info that your client app needs.

Hi everybody,

I have a solution with 2 projects: a ASP.NET Project and a class library.I added App.config file to the class library but I can't access it.The class library uses the Web.config of the Web project. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?Thanks!!!

anything that you want in an App.config file in the webserver must be added in the web.config OR you have to manually read/access it.

Hi,

I have an application that changes some properties of app.config file in some cases. But if you want your changes have effects, you have to restart the application. Is there any way my changes have effects without restarting?

Thanks.!!

I never need to restart the app, I just read the settings from the config again.

Are you referring to web app?

Not really a 'solution', I always read the keys from file when I need them, so I always get the latest values from the config.

Maybe you can tell us in more specific why you need to restart the application when you have made changes to the config file.
