Re: how to change values of Crystal Reports in vc# 2005?

Create a parameter field for the date. When you create the report object, use the ParameterFields Collection of the ReportDocument to find your paramter. Set it using the .CurrentValues.Add property of the ParameterField.

ReportDocument report = new ReportDocument();
report.Load(@"MyReportFile.rpt");
foreach(ParameterField field in report.ParameterFields) {
if(field.ParameterFieldName == "MyName") {
field.CurrentValues.Add(MyDateValue);
}
}

there is no such facility provided by the data grid.you can do two things either make a custom control data grid or insert a new row in the table with desired values

Proper way to handle single instance application and multithreading

Dan Neely25-Oct-06 3:47

I have an app that currently creates several worker threads in the mainform constructor. I'm currently modifying it to only allow one running copy at a time. The issue I have is that since the threads are created in the constructor prior to starting the app, when the already running check is done and the main thread isn't started they're orphaned and the 2nd instance remains hiding in the process list.

I've found two possible workarounds for this. The first is to move the thread creation from the form constructor to the OnLoad event, so that they're never created on the aborted 2nd instance attempt. The second is to explicitly create the form on the Main method and then do an explicit dispose, after the run call.

MyFormClass theForm = new MyFormClass();
SingleApplication.Run(theForm);
theForm.Dispose();

Is there any design reason to prefer one over the other?

why don't you do your test by using a mutex before Application.Run ?

The wrapper class I'm using to prevent multiple instances does do that. In order to remain a generic implementation that can just be dropped into additional apps however, it can't have any specific knowlege of what form it's creating. This means that the form has to be passed to the class that does the check and then launches the app, which in turn means that the constructor has to be called before making the check.

Just want to init a member of a struct

I declare a struct like this :
struct dataSeg
{
char[] QN;
char[] PNUM;
StringBuilder CP;
}
I want to init the member such as QN,PNUM,CP
How can I init the QN.......?
My meaning is:when I declare a variable of dataSeg ,I want QN, the member of the variable,can be alloc 20 bytes?
How can I get the result?

Use a class and do that:

char[] QN = new char[20];

Struct don't allow field initializers.

I would strongly advice you to make a class instead of a struct, as the data that you store in it are objects.

In the constructor you can create the objects. Example:

public dataSeg() {
   this.QN = new char[20];
   this.PNUM = new char[42];
   this.CP = new StringBuilder();
}

I assume that you wanted the QN to be 20 characters, not 20 bytes, as 20 bytes would be 10 characters.

ComboBox and DataSource attribute

Hello,

I have a few comboboxes on the form. They all have the same datasource, the only thing I want to implement is if one of the comboboxes has a value selected, it will be filtered out from the other comboboxes, meaning you can't select the same value in two, or more comboboxes, it can only appear in one combobox. Is there a way to do it?

Thank you.

sam#25-Oct-06 7:47

i didn't find any direct method for it but you can achieve desired behaviour by making copy of datasource and filter datasource when selected value of a combobox get change.

Disable Ambient properties from being set

Some controls have properties that are ambient, which makes them set as the controls parent/container. Does anyone know how this can be avoided? I have found this to be connected to the Site-property in controls, but cannot see how I am to go about it if it's at all possible.

Any hints?

Hi all,

i have a peculiar problem in closing the windows forms.

In order to work with multiple instances of same form asynchronously,i am invoking the method using the beginInvoke method of a delegate as follows:

testDelegate del = new testDelegate(SubmitData);
del.BeginInvoke(null, new object[] { });

Its working fine . But when i close these instances, application is getting hanged.

In close button i just wrote this.close() method.

This application is a .net 2.0 windows application.

Can any one help me out to solve this please...

Thanks,
Pranu.

We'd need more code to help you out. SubmitData, what does that function look like? If your app hangs on close, can you pause execution under a debugger and see what it's trying to execute?

Another possibility: each thread, apart from the main UI thread, should have its Thread.IsBackground property set to true. Otherwise, your app will stay alive while those threads are running.

I have the following output from a webBrowser scrape and need to estract the XML section using C#;

<errorDesc>The branch Id supplied does not correspond with a branch in the system.</errorDesc>

<style>
table.cfdump_wddx,
table.cfdump_xml,

Im currently using string contentText = response.Substring(response.IndexOf("<itemData>")+0,218); as a means of getting the start but cannot get the end of the string and end up getting into the style tag.

Can anyone help??

Regular expressions work well for that:

Match match = Regex.Match(strHtml, @".*(?<XML>\<itemData\>.*?\</itemData\> ).*", 
		RegexOptions.Singleline | RegexOptions.IgnorePatternWhiteSpace);
string xmlFragment = match.Groups["XML"].Captures[0].Value;

Could you clarify what you mean? Are you trying to induce the compiler to perform a code scan, or are you trying to compile C# code yourself?

How to check all the check boxes in a listview from the start.

25-Oct-06 0:34

Hi all,

I have added some items to a listview that has checkboxes, in the form's load method.

ListViewItem _selectionitem;<br />
_selectionitem = listboxSelect_List.Items.Add("ITEM A");<br />
_selectionitem = listboxSelect_List.Items.Add("ITEM B");<br />
_selectionitem = listboxSelect_List.Items.Add("ITEM C");<br />
_selectionitem = listboxSelect_List.Items.Add("ITEM D");<br />
_selectionitem = listboxSelect_List.Items.Add("ITEM E");<br />
_selectionitem = listboxSelect_List.Items.Add("ITEM F");<br />
_selectionitem = listboxSelect_List.Items.Add("ITEM G");<br />
_selectionitem = listboxSelect_List.Items.Add("ITEM H");<br />
_selectionitem = listboxSelect_List.Items.Add("ITEM I");<br />
_selectionitem = listboxSelect_List.Items.Add("ITEM J");<br />
_selectionitem = listboxSelect_List.Items.Add("ITEM K");<br />
_selectionitem = listboxSelect_List.Items.Add("ITEM L");<br />
_selectionitem = listboxSelect_List.Items.Add("ITEM M");<br />
_selectionitem = listboxSelect_List.Items.Add("ITEM N");

I want to make all the checkboxes in the listview be checked but can't seem to get it right... i've been struggling for a while now.

If anyone knows how please let me know.

Thank you. (I'll keep trying and let you know if i get it right first)

Hey NarutoFan#1,

You can use the Checked property of the ListViewItem class, and set it to true after each item addition:

_selectioitem = listboxSelect_List.Items.Add("ITEM A");
_selectionitem.Checked = true;

or:

listboxSelect_List.Items.Add("ITEM A").Checked = true;

Alternatively, you can use a foreach loop after adding all of the items:

.
.
.
_selectionitem = listboxSelect_List.Items.Add("ITEM N");

foreach (ListViewItem item in listboxSelect_List.Items)
    item.Checked = true;

Best Regards,
Shy.
