Hi,

as long as your SQL statement looks good, we must assume a bug in MySQL.
which version are you running ?

I have googled a bit and found:

1.
there has been a bug #7345 which got fixed in Version 1.0.4 1-20-05
according to this[^]

2.
there has been/still is a bug giving same message when querying with two
result sets. If that could apply, go and look deeper for that.

I trust you don't have extra threads that also do SQL stuff at the same time?

If your version is recent I would suggest you post this problem to the MySQL
site.

Good luck, and keep us posted.

Smile | :)

[C#] - How to print a file programmatically...

Hi guys,

I need to print a file (maybe a .doc or 'jpg or whatever), which is identical in functionality to what we do by right clicking the document and giving the print command in the windows explorer.

Is there any way which I can give the document path through the programme and print it irrespective of the exact type (if it is printable)?

I can have the functionality through any event. But, I want to know how to implement the print function once the path is given.

Regards,
A

I think you should use Process and ProcessStartInfo classes to accomplish this. Use verb property of ProcessStartInfo to specify print command

Here is the code from There is always the way to do it, but I don't know one of the members

I used it and it worked well

private static void doPrint(string executable, string fileFullPath, string printerName)
{
// Print PDF file using Acrobat Reader.
// "/h" - hidden mode
// "/t" - print command following by the file name and printer name
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.Arguments = "/h /t \"" + fileFullPath + "\" \"" + printerName + "\"";
startInfo.FileName = executable;
startInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
System.Diagnostics .Process process = new Process() ;
try {
process = Process.Start(startInfo);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
finally
{
process.WaitForExit(20000);
if (process.HasExited == false)
{
process.Kill();
}
}
}

good luck

Do you have any ideas on going further than this get the print job to print legal size. I have a varation of this code and I have tried setting the paper source and paper size to be the correct tray and paper kind but Adobe Reader appears to override and still print on letter size all of the time.

problem in calling a dll file

Is it possible to link any dll file with a c# program without knowing any details about it and to get details of the data and functions of it.I tried with explicit linking but i could not.If any could please...

Thanks in advance

Do you mean .NET dll or Native one? I guess the answer is yes in both cases but solutions are very different.

Then you need to use PInvoke with late binding. Search for the keywords.

P.S. If you don't know about the functions that reside in that dll it can be impossible or quite difficult. Why would you need to invoke function from a dll about which you have no information?

HI,
Use Object Browser for getting the schema definition of the dll file.

Which works if it's a .Net DLL

You could also try dumpbin, but that will only give you the name of the function, not the parameters (unless it exports decorated names, then you can use 'undname' to undecorate the names to retrieve the parameters)

Sorry for the delay answering. Actually I was trying for .Net Dlls.
It worked fine.

Let me tell you a scenario where in the user has to choose any kind of dll he wants, rather be .Net Dll or Native Dll for a connection to his server.
In that he knows the function to Invoke.

I need to write a common user interface to invoke any kind of dll, based on the choice of the user. Is that possible ?. If so help me regarding the stratergy that i have to use or any examples of such accomplishment.

FYI
I know one software which is doing to most of the Dll's.

Thanks in Advance

Slow UI updation problem

I am using 400 text box in my Form. Updating Text property of all the 400 Text boxes in the Form takes more than 30 milliseconds. Is there any way to reduce this time in c# .net.

//Sample code
//t2 is the array of 400 Text boxes.

DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
for (int i = 0; i < 400; i++)
t2[i].Text = i.ToString();
MessageBox.Show(((TimeSpan)(DateTime.Now - dt)).Milliseconds.ToString());

Stop the visual update of the components using the BeginUpdate(), EndUpdate() methods. More importantly though, why do you have so many textboxes on a form? This doesn't sound like a good design to me.

Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

There is no BeginUpdate() and EndUpdate() methods associated with either the Form or the TextBox.

Hello,

I think Pete meant,
SuspendLayout();
ResumeLayout();

Yes,

I also don't think that the graphic refresh is the bottleneck here.
I don't think there is a bottleneck at all.
I would go with Pete, as he suggested to think of a redesign!

I tried all the options you people have told. Still no improvement.

The scenario is like this,
The application requires updation of 400 - 500 controls. This application is visualization of the hardware circuit(say with 100s of resistors, capacitors and sensors), updation of the values with millisecond accuracy is required. So I don't have any other ways of designing. If any of you can suggest a way to do then it will be helpful.

Thanks in advance

So updating 400 textboxes takes 30 milliseconds.... well lets see... thats more than 13 textboxes updated in 1 thousandth of a second. I'd say that was pretty reasonable performance wouldn't you?
