I believe you have mis-understood or I have mis-stated my need. I actually get the DLL to register with RegAsm. When I try to draw it on a form I get the error 80040154, CLSID not properly registered. Regasm reported completion successfully. From what I have been able to glean from the MSDN, I need some assembly statements for Interop and Enterprise Services and and possibly an interface. I need to know the structure of those code statements. Thanks for your time on this issue.

Hi All
I have a project in C# that I need to import C++ dll
In order to import it I’m using
[DllImport("CommunicationManagerDLL.dll")]
private static extern bool WiMAXGetState(ref eNDIS_802_16E_STATE NDIS_802_16E_STATE);

how can I send a pointer to struct to the dll ?
should I use ref?

Thanks
Ronen

This should work if you're struct is correct.

eNDIS_802_16E_STATE NDIS_802_16E_STATE interopStruct = new eNDIS_802_16E_STATE NDIS_802_16E_STATE();
bool result = WiMAXGetState(ref interopStruct);

That looks fine for simple structs, holding value types only, except maybe for padding and different semantics (long and char). And it could go terribly wrong when the struct holds reference types or pointers.

Of course, with no info on the struct it's impossible to be absolutly sure!

Creating dynamic controls on a form

Hi all,

I want to create controls dynamicly on a form with the properties comming from a DataTable. (see code below)
The Table contains the infos like "name", "typ", "location", "size", ... of each control to create.

...
adapter.SelectCommand.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM controls WHERE controls_ID = 123";		
adapter.SelectCommand.Connection = conn;
adapter.SelectCommand.CommandTimeout = 60;
				
DS = new DataSet();
adapter.Fill(DS,"Ctrl");
System.Windows.Forms.Control[] X=null;

Table = DS.Tables["Ctrl"];
if(Table.Rows.Count>0)
{
   this.SuspendLayout();
   for(int i=0; i<Table.Rows.Count; i++)
   {
	DataRow row = Table.Rows[i];
	Type typ = Type.GetType(row["typ"].ToString());   // can be TextBox, Label, 
	typ X[i] = new typ();      // <-----here is the problem ------ how to assign/create the typ of control ? 
	X[i].Text = row["text"].ToString();
	X[i].Name = row["name"].ToString();
	this.Controls.Add(X[i]);
   }
   this.ResumeLayout();
}
...

how can I assign or create the right type of control. (see the marked row)
Is there an other way to do that ?

Thank you for your help
frank

Hi,

there are at least two ways to do it:

1.
for a limited number of types, provide specific code for each type, maybe inside a switch statement; simple but not really elegant.

2.
use reflection, have a look at Activator.CreateInstance()

Hi Luc,

tnx for your answer.
Your first way you have mentioned is a way I can follow for that task but, for the future the second solution might be more interesting.

Do you have a link to an example for the second way ?

txn in advance
frank

Shape Control

Hello everyone.. I am new to C#.net. I have got a project similar to MS Word Shape. Where we can add a shape(such as rectangle or circle) and then move it or edit its properties or even delete it. The shape is a control which has 8 little squares (on corners and sides) by which we can resize it.(As i said just like MS Word2007 Shape.) Now I have already made the control move and resize.But i am facing problem with the KeyDown event of the controls. i need it to delete and move the control with the help of keyboard keys. i have already got the Control's Sizechanged, KeyPress and MouseDown events working properly. but only the KeyDown event does'nt work. it seems like this event is never called when any key is pressed.

Regular Expresion

Hi
I want to write a regular expression that will match when there is no "XXSP" at the begining of the string

eg "XXSPPaabbcc1234" = No Match
eg "XaXSPPaabbcc1234" = Match

Thanks

Why use a regular expression?

if ((s.Length >= 5) && (!s.StartsWith("XXSP")
   {
   //Match
   }

Isn't it just "^XXSP" as in:

string s1 = "XXSPHello";
string s2 = "XaSPGoodbye";
Regex r = new Regex(@"^XXSP");
if (r.Match(s1).Success)
    {
    MessageBox.Show(s1);
    }
if (r.Match(s2).Success)
    {
    MessageBox.Show(s2);
    }

That will match any string starting with XXSP.

You can't use a Regex to not find a pattern, per se, as there are too many ways to not match. Instead you want to match and exclude anything that begins with XXSP.
This should do the trick:

^((X[^X])|(XX[^S])|(XXS[^P])).*$

Problem to save usercontrol as .bmp image

I try to use DrawtoImage() to save a usercontrol as a .bmp file,
it fails and only part of the control is displayed and others are just empty.

what is the reason and how to solve this problem?

thanks.

Hi,

Not sure about UserControls. I do know some Controls don't have a functional DrawToBitmap() method.
e.g. the RichTextBox.DrawToBitmap() documentation says: "This API supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code."

In order to paint such Controls you probably need some P/Invoke. The other day I had to send a FormatRange message (with a hDC and some struct) to get a RichTextBox paint its content to a bitmap correctly.
