Hi Mic,
As per my concern, You are going to update the UI (Form item). I would to say, If you want to update the UI then please do it with the help of delegates. I thought yor are update the UI in any event so it going to stuck.

Please go through how to update the UI via deligates.

Oh yes

the scenario I explained above, it happened when the server interface tried to add a user to remoteable object. Its work in an event of server interface windows application. I tried another example, which is not call from any event. It is working. Therefore, as per you said I will use delegates. But how can you understand that it is the problem of events? Actually I didn't understand what is the real problem that's why I ask. Thanks for your precious advice.

Thanks and Regards,

Mic

Hi there,

if i got an 3 arraylist to be serialize, each with different type(Point[] or int) how do i deserialize them back to the 3 different arraylist accordingly. Should i save the number of items in each of the arraylist? Check the type? What other methods would u suggest?

Thanks in advance.

If you serialize the lists into separate streams, just remember which list resides in which stream and you'll be fine. If you serialize the lists into one common stream, though, make sure you deserialize them in the exact same order they were serialized.

i need to save all the arraylists into a common arraylist and then serialize it because i want to save it into a file. Is this correct?

Below is part of the code i wrote:
In Save()

<br />
ArrayList arr = new ArrayList();<br />
<br />
arr.Add(Arraylist1);//arraylist containing Point[]<br />
for(int i=0;i<br />
{<br />
GraphicsPathData gpd = new GraphicsPathData((GraphicsPath)PathList[i]);<br />
Stream gpdStream = GraphicsPathData.Serialize(gpd);<br />
arr.Add(gpdStream);<br />
}<br />
<br />
arr.Add(Arraylist1);//arraylist containing enum<br />
<br />
formatter.Serialize(myStream, arr);<br />
myStream.Close();<br />
<br />

in OpenFile()

<br />
ArrayList arr =new ArrayList();<br />
			if (openFileDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)<br />
			{<br />
				filename = openFileDialog.FileName;<br />
				Stream myStream = openFileDialog.OpenFile();<br />
				if (myStream != null)<br />
				{<br />
					IFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();<br />
					arr = (ArrayList) formatter.Deserialize(myStream);<br />
					myStream.Close();<br />
<br />
.................

However the problem here, how can i separate the arr into the correct arraylist?

Thanks for your help

You don't need a common arraylist to serialize several arraylists into one file. Just make several calls to formatter.Serialize passing the same stream:

formatter.Serialize(myStream, arr1)
formatter.Serialize(myStream, arr2)
formatter.Serialize(myStream, arr3)

To restore the arraylists, make the calls to formatter.Deserialize in the exact same order:

arr1 = (ArrayList) formatter.Deserialize(myStream);
arr2 = (ArrayList) formatter.Deserialize(myStream);
arr3 = (ArrayList) formatter.Deserialize(myStream);

hi there,
Thanks for the reply. Your solution works perfectly for binary serialization. However, i was wondering, does this concept works the same if i want to use XML serialization?
Thanks.

Change your Flat Style as "System" it will take your Operating System style/skins (Ex. XP).

Control.CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = false;

Put this line in the constructor of your form.

Yes, when you are doing something referred to as "Illigal" then obvious choice is to disable the check so you can get on with your high quality code. Dead | X|

Look at Invoke and BeginInvoke. Yes, they are annoying, but not half as annoying as the deadlocks you get when not using them.

Control.CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = false; will this cause any issues?

I have code in 2003 which access controls inside thread and so far it is going good. I placed this command in 2005 and tried it already and it looks OK, i want to make sure by making this "CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls" as false will not cause any serious issues. Do you think?

http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/threadsafeforms.asp[^] this should be the right choice but lot of rework Smile | :)

Of course setting the option to false will cause issues. Microsoft did not add a random unneeded check just for the fun of it.

Typical behaviour will be random hanging your entire GUI. This can happen on all systems, or just a few. It can also appear to be working fine, then suddently start hanging due to an update from Microsoft, a new OS, or whatever.

just use delegate for invoking them

Here is my code and it's work fine in vs2005

public delegate void CrossThreadHandle(object arg);


        void SetLabelStatus(object txt)
        {
            this.labelDownloadStatus.Text=txt as string;
        }


        void dl_StatusChanged(Downloader sender, Downloader.DownloadStatus status)
        {
           CrossThreadHandle dLabel=new CrossThreadHandle(this.SetLabelStatus);
            this.Invoke(dLabel,sender.Status.ToString());

            Application.DoEvents();
        }

Hope it would Help

Hi Sonia,

Assuming that you are using .net Setup & Deployment project in VS.
Create a Launch Condition - Add Registry Search - set the RegKey & Value property to:
Keys:
For the .NET Framework 1.0:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\policy\v1.0
For the .NET Framework 1.1:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\policy\v1.1
For the .NET Framework 2.0:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\policy\v2.0
Value:
For the .NET Framework 1.0: "3705"
For the .NET Framework 1.1: "4322"
For the .NET Framework 2.0: "50727"

Then add new LauchCondition and set the Condition property to:
For the .NET Framework 1.0:
REGISTRYVALUE = "3321-3705"
For the .NET Framework 1.1:
REGISTRYVALUE="3706-4322"
For the .NET Framework 2.0:
REGISTRYVALUE="50727-50727"

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Bhupi Bhai.

If you are working in VS - 2005 then you should be able to see a Button called Prerequisites on your Setup Project Property. Hit that button and gothrough.
