Re: How to transfer data without using dataset

SQL Server Express is FREE. Advanced includes SSRS also. You would be setting the company up with better tools and positioning them for better migration. The tools are FREE, only costs a little time to download and install. Rather than having individual copies of Access databases floating around it could be centralized. Better management, more accurate reporting.

EventLog logging with log4net

Hi All,

I've been poking around Google / Apache.org trying to get to the bottom of this with no luck. There isn't a lot of info anywhere on configuring log4net using pure C# so I thought I'd try here now.

I can log to the "Application" log with no problems. I can also create "MyLog" event log without problems as well, however, writing to "MyLog" fails to actually write an event log entry. The code I'm using to configure an EventLogAppener is:

public static void ConfigureEventLogAppender(string appName, string logName)
{
PatternLayout layout = GetDefaultLayout();
_eventLogAppender = new EventLogAppender();
_eventLogAppender.ApplicationName = appName;
_eventLogAppender.Layout = layout;
_eventLogAppender.LogName = logName;
_eventLogAppender.Threshold = Level.All;
_eventLogAppender.ActivateOptions();

BasicConfigurator.Configure(_eventLogAppender);
}

Has anyone managed to get this working?

Cheers,

Jammer

I assume "my date" is the date of installation. Just comparing the dates is not enough. What if one changes the system date?

Don't bother, are you so greedy that you must even catch the people who go through big trouble to apply workaround that could mess up their system? Almost no one will change their system date, and the people who will aren't about to buy anything anyway. So avoiding wasting time on things like that is a bigger win.

If you're storing that somewhere I can probably change it, I don't even need to change the system time.

Do you really want to do that? My reaction to things like that is always to delete all traces of the program and warn my friends not to use it unless they can find a patch for it.

Hello Experts!!

Help me!!!

Well, what have you done ? Have you verified the record does not appear twice in the dataset ? It's either in the data twice, or you've done something weird when you styled the control. Without any code, and a list of things you have tried, it's hard to help.

all the records are displaying twice or any specific record is displaying....
If all the records are displaying then the problem is in your database...
check the where condition in the database....

Set Control Values on Form from other class

Hi all,

I have a class that performs some actions and calculations. Lets call it: class Calc
I also have a win form class called: class winForm
I want to set a label Text property on the win form from the Calc class.

How can I do this?
Many thanks in advance

Kind regards,

The calc class needs a referene to the form, or, better yet, a delegate needs to be hooked up between the two classes, so that calc can fire an event inside the form.

A delegate just to set label text? Confused | :confused:

A delegate is the only clean way to have communication between classes. Better that, a designated event, than passing reference to forms around and exposing text properties on labels.

In this scenario, if Calc has only one instance thoughout and if that gets created in the form itself, then
a) would databinding the label text be enough?
b) still stick to delegates?

Who cares... The entire point is that the non-form class shouldn't have ANY knowledge of the form using it. It should not have any reason at all to modify UI controls. What if the class needs to be used by another non-form class somewhere down thte road??

The correct way to do this would be to have the Calc class expose methods, events, or delegates, that outside consumer would subscribe, or otherwise wire-up, to receive notifications that the Calc class outputs. But, these would not be manadatory subscriptions to use the class. It should be left up to the caller to determine if it needs this notification information, not the Calc class.

Thanks for the response Christian.
You don't perhaps have any good links on the web referring to an example?

If not ... i do know how Google works ... just wondering.

There are some good articles on delegates right here on code project, so search this site first, then google if you need to. I don't know off hand, but I know there's been a lot written about them.

You CAN just keep an instance of your form in your other class, but it's really ugly, delegates are the neat and clean way of doing what you want.
