Hello,

i've been trying for hours to setup the DISLIN graphics plotting package. When i
try to compile a program #include(ing) "dislin.h" with Borland 5.5.1 cmd line compiler
i keep getting the error: "unresolved external..." and then the name of the function
i'm trying to call. Is this because i'm missing the file that the header is refering to?

I'm trying to set DISLIN up to work on Win XP and compile with either Borland,DevC++ or Code::Blocks.

If any one has any knowledge or anything to share concerning getting this package to
work i'll be really really greatful.

Thanks.

p.s. i had a similar problem with opengl and never got that to work. And, like with this situation,
i was following every step described in the book. Perhaps it's the computer or i'm stupid.

Re: DISLIN WinXp. Anyone ?

private void Frm_Land_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
        {<br />
            System.Threading.Thread th = new System.Threading.Thread(gu.Show_WaitingForm);<br />
            Application.DoEvents();<br />
            th.Start("Loading Data...");<br />
<br />
            this.Initialize_Data();<br />
            this.txt_date.Text = this.sh.Show_Hijri_System();<br />
            this.toolStripStatusLabel1.Text = "Ready";<br />
<br />
            Application.DoEvents();<br />
            gu.Hide_WaitingForm();           <br />

Hi,

is this .NET 1.x or is it >=2.0 ?
did you disable the cross-thread checking ? you should not.

seems like you try to create and show a form with a thread, and later hide it
from the main thread. This is illegal and will result in all kinds of anomalies.

IMO the right approach is to crate, show and later hide the WaitingForm in the
main thread, and do the "loading data..." stuff in some other thread (or maybe
a BackgroundWorker).
If the loading thread needs to update the WaitingForm, it must do so using the
Control.InvokeRequired property and Control.Invoke() method.
If unfamiliar, look it up on MSDN and/or read some CodeProject articles about it.

The .NET framework doesn't have any intrinsic ability to translate text from one language to another.

You would have to write your own language translator.

Alternatively, there are websites that provide language translation services. You could consider sending a translation request programmatically to one of these sites and screen-scraping the HTML to get the result.

ALT+F4

Hello Gents.
Am trying to alter the way ALT+F4 closes an application and hope I can get some guru help here.

I have a component that calls an Windows form for a regstration page. On that Windows form I have two buttons.

One closes the application by:

System.Environment.Exit();

and the other button closes the application by:

System.Enviroment.Exit(-1);

The first only closes the form that runs inside the component, the later closes the whole application including what ever application who calls the component.

Now my problem is that when the form that opens inside the compoent is active and a user hits ALT+F4, then the only the component closes and not the whole application.

To me it seems that a standard ALT+F4 is like invoking System.Environment.Exit() and not System.Enviroment.Exit(-1).

Is there any way I can force ALT+F4 to close the whole application like System.Enviroment.Exit(-1) does?

Cheers,
Ronni

Found the answer...

private void form1_FormClosing (object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e) {

if (e.CloseReason != CloseReason.ApplicationExitCall) {

System.Environment.Exit (-1);

}

}

Convert Excel to XML

I was finally able to do that 1st step of getting data from Excel to the dataset. Now I am taking that dataset and converting into XML.
private string GetXML()
{
string XML = dsSource.ToString();
return XML;
}

And I get an error saying "The name 'dsSource' does not exist in the current context"

What should be the correct code? Please HELP!!!

It means that dsSource is neither declared in GetXML nor it is a 'global' variable. Perhaps you have declared it as a local variable in one of your methods.

#region signature

#endregion

But it still gives me an error. that the name dsSource does not exist in the current context.

It is possible from net to automate Directory Activates.
Concretely I want to activate the directive one that this in

System
And to enable the directive one
Alone to Execute applications of allowed windows
And to establish the list of programs EXE that the user can execute, I can them

try this to get you started, it shows how you can use System.DirectoryServices to query Active Directory.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sds/sds/quick_list_for_c__code_examples.asp[^]

Another solution would be to see how you can utilise WMI to interogate your active directory.

Question int or Int32

When I am using a varible inside a method (let's say 25 lines of code)

Should I create an int variable or Int32? What the heck is the difference?

I didn't get any requirements for the signature

There is no difference. int is a C# keyword that's simply an alias for System.Int32.
