Christian,
I have also seen this happen on more than one occassion as well. The "signal to noise ratio" on the C# forum (particularly) but also the .NET Framework and Windows Forms forums has gotten extremely high, to the point that it is sometimes hard to spot the legitimate questions.
Short of implementing some sort of waiting period for new members before they can post questions, I don't know of a solution. The "View unanswered questions" feature isn't really an option here because it will still suffer from the higher percentage of "monkey questions" being asked.
To make matters worse, I see a lot of these same people posting responses to other questions that are completely wrong (but sometimes have an "air of authority" that makes them sound reasonable/correct) and the right answers can then sometimes get lost in the weeds.
Just my 2 cents worth. It certainly won't stop me posting responses or asking questions, even if I do sometimes have to ask them more than once, because there are still a lot of people here that know what they are talking about and provide good responses when they are able.
A while ago you Chris Maunder posted a message in the lounge (http://www.codeproject.com/lounge.asp?Page=2&userid=157870&mode=all&select=2137020&df=100&forumid=1159&fr=12834.5#xx2137020xx[^]) about some possible changes to the forums. What was the end result of that?
Thanks,
Scott.

Perhaps that's why. People who cross post and repeat posts tend to get ignored.
I looked through your message history, and almost every question you asked got replies. Where do you feel that you lack replies?

One of my message I had put up yesterday only got deleted automatically. I don't know how. I put the same question again but remain unanswered.

While that's generally true, sometimes it becomes necessary to repost a question or move it from one forum to another. I have had at least one occasion where a message posted in one forum didn't get a response, and after waiting a week or more I reposted it to a different forum where it immediately got responses that helped me resolve the problem.

I do agree... Sometimes your question remain unanswered as it may not be viewed by person who know about it but if you repost it after sometime, there are chances that it get looked up and replied by person who know about it...

there is no stupid question. (maybe. stupid post might be like that one that you just post.. ) it doesn't matter whether it's easy or so difficult. we will answer if we like to.
Some facts about why we don't answer
#1. the first reason is simple. we don't answer because we don't know. we are not God so that it's not possible to know everything.
#2. We don't answer the question like "how to create search engine like Google?" or "Can you help me to do my assignment or homework?"
#3. Sometimes, in order to answer a particular question, it is required to have an environment to reproduce the issue. (For example, if someone is asking about PHP questions (eg: How to call procedure in MySQL to use in PHP?), we need to install PHP and mysql in our machine and try to reproduce the error in our computer. and find the solution for that. so, it is required more time to give the answer. )
Anyway, don't forget that we are contributing or helping other people's problems with FREE OF CHARGES. If you want the exact answer whenever you are asking, you should probably contact with the consultants with thousand dollars.
Thanks for understanding.

Michael,
If you feel like the concern which I have raised is stupid than at first place you should now have spend your time in replying to it. You could have used this time to resolve some more tutorial questions.
Pls try to understand my concen and support the idea of putting up this forum and making it more effective.
thanks....

I understand that you feel disappointed when you don't get something you want. Do you know how we feel when we got a complaint even we are trying to help others as much as we can?
Thanks.

Nearly one year before I too had posted the same opinion in the lounge. And I was suggesting about an option of including a post like "Unanswered questions of the week" in the lounge every week by admin. But I was voted down.
I also suggested to rank the post before moving into the unanswered category .So It should be moved only if the post has got a minimum cut off mark.
The only thing happened after that is this unanswered answer section.
But still some crooked minds know that the best possible way to get an answer for a tough question is to post it in lounge and they are doing it also.

 No, that will only get your post modded out of the lounge.

First of all, I have HideSelection set to false. I implemented drag and drop in a TreeView so that the indexed cards in the tree can be moved manually (cards store book info like Library card files). An XML file is updated with the newly arranged tree. The TreeView is refreshed in the Drag_Drop event, but the SelectedNode does not show!
Is there a workaround for this?
Here's the code...,
<small>private void cardsTreeView_DragDrop( object sender, DragEventArgs e )
{
nodePosition.X = e.X;
nodePosition.Y = e.Y;
nodePosition = cardsTreeView.PointToClient(nodePosition);
TreeNode dropNode = cardsTreeView.GetNodeAt(nodePosition);
if (dropNode != null && dropNode.Parent == this.nodeToDelete.Parent)
{
TreeNode dragNode = this.nodeToDelete;
if (dropNode == dragNode)
return;
dropNode.Parent.Nodes.Remove(this.nodeToDelete);
dropNode.Parent.Nodes.Insert(dropNode.Index + 1, dragNode);
Cards.MoveCardTo(GetIndexString(dropNode), GetIndexString(nodeToDelete));
Cards.ReOrderCards();
if (cardsTreeView.Nodes.Count > 0)
cardsTreeView.Nodes.Clear();
cardsTreeView.BeginUpdate();
Cards.GetAllCards(ref cardsTreeView);
cardsTreeView.EndUpdate();
cardsTreeView.ExpandAll();
cardsTreeView.EndUpdate();
cardsTreeView.SelectedNode = cardsTreeView.Nodes[dropNode.Index];
cardsTreeView.SelectedNode.EnsureVisible();
}
}
private void cardsTreeView_DragEnter( object sender, DragEventArgs e )
{
if(e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Text))
e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Move;
else
e.Effect = DragDropEffects.None;
}
private void cardsTreeView_ItemDrag( object sender, ItemDragEventArgs e )
{
nodeToDelete = (TreeNode) e.Item;
string strItem = e.Item.ToString();
DoDragDrop(strItem, DragDropEffects.Copy | DragDropEffects.Move);
}
</small>
Thanks,
Mark

Give this a try. I've noticed that some properties don't seem to update until they are rendered (bad form IMO).
cardsTreeView.SelectedNode = cardsTreeView.Nodes[dropNode.Index]; <br />
cardsTreeView.Nodes[dropNode.Index].EnsureVisible();

Sorry, but I don't understand your reply. You posted the code that I already have in my project.

Ah not quite. Where you set the tree.SelectedNode to someNode, and then called EnsureVisible on tree.SelectedNode , I set the tree.SelectedNode and then called EnsureVisible on someNode.
It might not seem like theres actually a difference, but I have noticed sometimes you can set properties on some of the web controls and they don't come back out correctly until they are rendered. Ie the following code fails:
someTree.selectedNode = someNode;
assert(someTree.selectedNode == someNode);
Odd, I know, but theres no harm trying it.

Well I tried your suggestion and the TreeView still does not scroll to the selected node and show it as selected. Must be a bug in the TreeView control.
Thanks for the assistance.

Hi,
Would anyone explain the meaning of the yellow highlighted code?
I am specifically not sure on what it means as a declaration.
// Constructor that defaults to case-insensitive switches and
// defaults to "/" and "-" as the only valid switch characters
protected ArgumentParser(String[] switchSymbols) : this(switchSymbols, false, new string[] { "/", "-" })
{
}
// Constructor that defaults to "/" and "-" as the only valid switch characters
protected ArgumentParser(String[] switchSymbols, Boolean caseSensitiveSwitches)
: this(switchSymbols, caseSensitiveSwitches, new string[] { "/", "-" })
And how would you rewrite it in a simplified way (Easy to read and understand)
Thank you.
Rad
public abstract class ArgumentParser
{
private String[] switchChars; // For example: "/", "-"
private String[] switchSymbols; // Switch character(s)
private Boolean caseSensitiveSwitches; // Are switches case-sensitive?
// Domain of results when processing a command-line argument switch
protected enum SwitchStatus { NoError, Error, ShowUsage };
// Constructor that defaults to case-insensitive switches and
// defaults to "/" and "-" as the only valid switch characters
protected ArgumentParser(String[] switchSymbols) : this(switchSymbols, false, new string[] { "/", "-" })
{
}
// Constructor that defaults to "/" and "-" as the only valid switch characters
protected ArgumentParser(String[] switchSymbols, Boolean caseSensitiveSwitches)
: this(switchSymbols, caseSensitiveSwitches, new string[] { "/", "-" })
{
}
// Constructor with no defaults
protected ArgumentParser(String[] switchSymbols, Boolean caseSensitiveSwitches, String[] switchChars)
{
this.switchSymbols = switchSymbols;
this.caseSensitiveSwitches = caseSensitiveSwitches;
this.switchChars = switchChars;
}
Thanks,
Rad

Hi,
I don't understand your post.
You mentioned some yellow, the only yellow is the NEW sign on the subject line.
It's my guess the class intends to parse command lines, things that take
filenames (or some other objects) plus optional "switches" which start with
a special symbol such as - or / (as is often the case on UNIX/LINUX and Windows).
And then what follows that symbol may or may not be case-insensitive.
Now what is the problem ?
BTW: there are PRE tags to show code with background color and indentation.

First, you should wrap your code sections in <pre> tags to make them easier to read. Second there was no section highlighted in yellow so everything that follows is based on guessing what you were asking.
public abstract class ArgumentParser
{
private String[] switchChars;
private String[] switchSymbols;
private Boolean caseSensitiveSwitches;
protected enum SwitchStatus { NoError, Error, ShowUsage };
protected ArgumentParser(String[] switchSymbols) : this(switchSymbols, false, new string[] { "/", "-" })
{
}
protected ArgumentParser(String[] switchSymbols, Boolean caseSensitiveSwitches)
: this(switchSymbols, caseSensitiveSwitches, new string[] { "/", "-" })
{
}
protected ArgumentParser(String[] switchSymbols, Boolean caseSensitiveSwitches, String[] switchChars)
{
this.switchSymbols = switchSymbols;
this.caseSensitiveSwitches = caseSensitiveSwitches;
this.switchChars = switchChars;
}
} Based on the code presented here, the third constructor (protected ArgumentParser(String[] switchSymbols, Boolean caseSensitiveSwitches, String[] switchChars)) is the one that actually does the work. The other two constructors are overloading the object constructor and providing two additional "short-hand" ways of declaring an instance of the ArgumentParser class that require fewer parameters. The this calls after the function declaration tell the runtime to call that version of the constructor before running any code in the requested constructor. (In this case, there isn't any additional code being run.)
The sequence that happens would be this:
- You call the
ArgumentParser(String[] switchSymbols) constructor, which
- calls the
ArgumentParser(String[] switchSymbols, Boolean caseSensitiveSwitches) constructor, passing in switchSymbols (from your call), false, and the string array { "/", "-" } as the parameters.
- This constructor runs and returns control back to the constructor you called, which
- runs any code contained in it's body (in this case, there isn't any.)
There really isn't a way to make this any simpler other than to remove the overloads and force everyone to call the full constructor; but that isn't really simplifying it.

I have a pdf file as byte[] coming from ReportingService, it is ok If I want to save it in client PC "Response.BinaryWrite(myReport)";
, but how can I send it as an atachment in email message?
.
.
.
byte[] myReport;
myReport= rs.Render(path,fileFormat, null, @"<DeviceInfo><Toolbar>False</Toolbar></DeviceInfo>", parameter, null, null,
out encoding, out mimeType, out parametersUsed,
out warnings, out streamIds);
Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = mimeType;
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileName);
//this one works ok:
Response.BinaryWrite(myReport);
//but I want to add attachment:
MailMessage em = new MailMessage();
em.Attachments.Add(myReport);//this doesn't work, I need to somehow change the "myReport" byte[] to pdf file
em.From = "myemail@email.com";
em.To = "myemail@email.com";
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "emailserver";
SmtpMail.Send(em);

Create a MemoryStream from the byte data, then create an Attachment object by reading from the MemoryStream.

No, you need to covert it back to MemoryStream.
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(myReport);
em.Attachments.Add(new Attachment(ms, [your mime type]));
