You should try a more object-oriented approach, you are really complexifying your life. Split this code in multiple small elements responsible of a single responsibility. The rectangle that holds a letter is one object. If you make a UserControl for this simple responsibility, you can delegate the complexity of catching MouseEnter/MouseLeave/etc... events in the control itself. Via two small event handlers, you can highlight and unhighlight your control without having to determine any coordinate.

The "host" of you multiple rectangles is another UserControl. Its only responsibility is to put all the small rectangles in a bigger rectangle. Eventually, it computes the size that a single "letter rectangle" can have, as it knows it own size and the total number of smaller rectangles to put in itself.

And finally, generating letters is another responsibility. The generation of the letters occurs outside, is provided to the big UserControl, and it will instantiate the correct number of small rectanges, providing the text and the size.

Don't play with positioning that you compute yourself, use docking. All this code can be reduced to 10 lines.

How ENQ command is sent to serial port

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to read data from crt-310 card reader using serial port.

When I send "CARD_EJECT" command it does work. The problem is when I'd like to receive data from the reader.

There is a pdf file whihc is about communication protocol says;

First host sends STX command and if the reader returns ACK (positive answer) and host send ENQ command and the reader execute it and response.

Actually I didn't quite catch something about the protocol. How can I cope with it? Here is some code of it.

I'd like to keep this writing fairly brief, I'm not going to post all the methods like CalcBCC and ExecuteCommand which are below,
but if someone interested in I can send them also. Many thanks already.

public CRT310_DATA GenerateCommand(string commandName, _CARDEJECTTYPE cardEjectType)
{
CRT310_DATA data = new CRT310_DATA();
if (commandName == "CARD_EJECT")
{
data.bytCommmand = CMD_CARD_EJECT;
data.bytCommandParameter = (byte)cardEjectType;
data.intDataLength = 0;
data.bytTxDataBuffer = new byte[1];
data.bytRxDataBuffer = new byte[0x109];
}
return data;
}

public bool SendData(CRT310_DATA data, _CRT310_STATUS status, int intTimeout)
{
try
{
byte[] bytDataToSend = new byte[0x109];
int intDataLength = 0;
int intDataLengthToSend = data.intDataLength + 2;
bytDataToSend[intDataLength] = STX;
intDataLength++;
bytDataToSend[intDataLength] = (byte)(intDataLengthToSend >>;
intDataLength++;
bytDataToSend[intDataLength] = (byte)(intDataLengthToSend & 0xff);
intDataLength++;
bytDataToSend[intDataLength] = data.bytCommmand;
intDataLength++;
bytDataToSend[intDataLength] = data.bytCommandParameter;
intDataLength++;
data.bytTxDataBuffer.CopyTo(bytDataToSend, intDataLength);
intDataLength += data.intDataLength;
bytDataToSend[intDataLength] = ETX;
intDataLength++;bytDataToSend[intDataLength] = this.CalcBCC(bytDataToSend, intDataLength);
intDataLength++;

com.Write(bytDataToSend, 0, bytDataToSend.Length);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{return false;}

return true;

}

Hi,

I can't give you the solution to your problems, since it is a broad topic that needs lots of information
you did not provide, but I can give you some commments and suggestions:

1.
please show your code using PRE tags, that makes it easier to read and spot mistakes.

2.
I suggest you start using autoincrement as in bytDataToSend[intDataLength++] = data.bytCommandParameter;
that makes your intentions more clear and your code less error-prone.

3.
make sure your SerialPort initialization is correct; is there anything working? are some characters coming through in one direction? in the other?

4.
on your SendData method:
- parameter intTimeout is not used
- buffer size: what is the magical 0x109? you don't fill that many bytes in the array, but you
do send them (unless the driver discards the NULL bytes). Shouldn't the last parameter of com.Write
be intDataLength?
- you insert a 2B length at the beginning, are you sure adding 2 to it is correct?
- the data length gets handled by intDataLength += data.intDataLength;
this may or may not be correct, I don't know your data struct/class,
intDataLength += data.bytTxDataBuffer.Length would always be right.

5.
your SendData sends STX somedata ETX; your textual description of a read said
sending STX waiting for ACK then sending ENQ; that would not be possible based on the SendData
you have shown (but then maybe you don't use SendData where you implement Read).
BTW: ENQ is just a simple ASCII character, similar to STX and others.

Hope this helps.

Hi, Mr Pattyn

Yes, Card eject method works as I have mentioned in the first message (When I send "CARD_EJECT" command it does work...)

here is all;

CardReader class which you can easily copy and paste it and btnConnect, btnCardEject clicks too.

Many thanks for suggestions.

Thanks for all the code, it does not really help; what one needs to design, implement and debug the
whole thing is documentation and a device for experimentation/verification.

You once more did not apply PRE tags (use the "CODE BLOCK" button below the edit field), so I am not going to even look at it.

And I forgot to tell you it is a very bad idea to catch an exception and then hardly do anything with it;
when things go wrong, the exception tells you the details of a problem, so let it show all it is holding
as in Console.WriteLine(exc.ToString())

Have you found the ASCII ENQ character yet?

Hello,

I have a default page on which there are three user controls put inside three panels within the page. Based on a click event of a button in any of the user control, i want to unload a user control in the page and load a diferent user control in its place. I am using VS 2008 and C# as the code behind... Your inputs would be very helpful....Thanks in advance

You can do it using delegates.

Create a delegate in the usercontrol with some return type / parameters with which you can set the visibility of the usercontrol, add an event for this delegate.
Add a button with a button click event in user ctrl.

Call the event in the webpage which in turn should call the user control's button click event.

Try this out.

Cheers,
Sudhanva

You could make the Set the Visible property on the controls to the appropriate value so they are not rendered to the client unless they need to be.

I would personally instantiate all of them with the Visible property set to false, and then show/hide them as necessary.

You can even initialize them when he VisibleChanged event is fired.

Thank you for the response. But here i am having around 50-60 controls now and the number is again going to increase. Do you think its a good idea to load as many number of controls on the form and keep its visible property false? The requirement is something as that of how Microsoft Dynamics work. We have one default page with left and main content panels that holds the user-controls which keep changing as per the button clicked...

I want to create my own 'URL' in a RichTextBox. when a user types [[LinkName]], it should display as a link.

Example
The documents with name [[The road to C#]] and [[An introduction to C#]] are very interesting.

How can this be created in a C# RichTextBox and how can I add a ClickEvent.

Thanks!

In normal situation the thread execution ends when the method you passed for ThreadStart has finished.

You can call Sleep inside the thread. If you need to synchronize separate threads, see for example Join method and lock statement

If you know a type or have instantiated an object from the assembly you can get it's AssemblyQualifiedName, for example:

someObject.GetType().AssemblyQualifiedName

Is that what you were looking for?

So do you need only the name? If so, if I remember correctly, you could use:

SomeObject.GetType().Assembly.ManifestModule.Name
