if the Panel (or any other Control) is added to the GroupBox (see inside the designer.cs file to check), how could it extend beyond the GroupBox boundaries?

The row of pixels that comprise the GB border is legal for child controls to paint on
<Crude ASCII Art Warning>
C is the groupbox border, A is the panel inside the groupbox. The panel extends another dozenish notional pixels below the edge of the groupbox, but that part is properly unpainted.

Yep, I had noticed that, I was expecting you had a more serious complaint than a one-pixel row overlap (it is a mockup after all, isn't it?)
Couldn't you (1) reduce the Panel height and optionally (2) Anchor it to the GroupBox bottom?

Which doesn't mean someone non-technical won't go "WTF Happened to that Border" when being shown the mockups. All things equal I prefer to avoid silly things for them to gripe about.
1) works as a bandaid, but since the dialog is a mockup and assured of changing size arbitrarily, and I need to keep a consistent spacing between the elements in the GB, hard coding a value doesn't really appeal unless it's the only option.

Im having problems with System.Drawing the code below only works when the user clicks the button but when set to the forms autostart option the line isn't drawn on the form . Ive tried thread.sleep but i get the same rusult the code is executed but nothing is drawb
private void Draw(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
System.Drawing.Graphics graphicsObj;
graphicsObj = this.CreateGraphics();
Pen myPen = new Pen(System.Drawing.Color.Red, 465);
graphicsObj.DrawLine(myPen, 120, 120, 1200, 1210);
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
System.Drawing.Graphics graphicsObj;
graphicsObj = this.CreateGraphics();
Pen myPen = new Pen(System.Drawing.Color.Red, 465);
graphicsObj.DrawLine(myPen, 120, 120, 1200, 1210);
}

you need to use the Paint event of the form, and do you drawing in there. that way it will draw every time the form needs to paint itself...
use the event args to get the Graphics object too...
private void Form1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
Pen myPen = new Pen(System.Drawing.Color.Red, 465);
e.Graphics.DrawLine(myPen, 120, 120, 1200, 1210);
}

... and dispose of objects you create and no longer need, such as Pens; or better yet keep them alive as a class member.

Hi
i have a table in my dataSet Designer, when i select a numerical field of my table, i can set some properties, one of those is NullValue, as u know, it is initialize with 'Throw exception', my problem is that i can't change this item to Null or Empty, whereas i set allow null my field in database, hence at runTime, when this is field has null value, it throw exception.
how to avoid this problem ?
thanks

Uhhh, I have no ideo what you're really trying to say here, but nothing is initialized with "Throw Exception".
I think the value you're looking for is DBNull.Value, not null.

Good day
I am writing a video recognition program in VC#. I have done a lot of reading on webcam data acquisition, but the abundance of information isn't guiding me to an answer.
Could you please give me an overview of:
1. What video format is best (or commonly used) for processing real-time video? Must the raw video first be converted to the required format?
2. In what format should I record a clip(few frames) or an image (single frame) from the webcam, when I want to apply my algorithms to it?
3. And what API could be useful to do all of this? I'm currently looking at AForge
I'm asking this because it would obviously be desirable to keep the image, video and real-time video in the same format in order to write less code, and performance is also very important to me (ie don't know if different formats influence algorithm performance)
|
|
|
|
|
All of this is going to be determined by your webcam and the API used to get an image or video stream from it. Whether it's going to work for you or not depends on how you write your processing algorithm.
|
|
|
|
|
But, according to OP's previous post, not allowed to use an API.
I think he/she is stuck.

You've done a lot of reading ?
1 - All video ends up as raw frames. DirectX is going to let you access those frames, and it's not really going to matter how it was encoded along the way, your code ends up sitting in the sequence that decodes the video. I don't believe C# can do this, not without using a third party library to help you get access to DirectX. http://slimdx.org/download.php[^] is one that I found out about recently, but I've not looked at it.
2 - does not matter
3 - Ultimately, DirectShow is part of DirectX, and is your best bet, but in C# you will need some sort of wrapper, like the one I linked to, to get access to it.

Okay thank you, I've done a lot of reading but it's been very misguided
When you say "raw frame" do you mean basic memory containing two or three bytes of info on each pixel (depending on RGB, greyscale etc.) which is contained in - for example - an array? (Independent of the video format and API used) Which one can then convert to which ever format you wish (or can), eg. jpg, bmp etc..

Hi,
This is a new one to me but Ill set the scene,
Would appreciate any support from people who currently or have done this.
We have thousands of products that are going to go through a production line,
the prodcut comes to us with a barcode already attached.
I need my users to scan the item at each stage, ie received the item, assebled, test, etc...
We are developing a .net (ideally asp.net but would do win forms if needed)that
will need to record the barcode (unique id) and add several infomation items to that record along the line.
So,
I need to Find a barcode scanner that will read the bardcode, and I can interact with in my .net application (all data will be stored in sql).
thanks

You can use asp.net.
When you scan barcode, it will simple write out barcode and usually give an CR and LF on end.
So, you should give focus to barcode field on form, and once user scans code it will write code in that field. All scaners do it the same way, only that you can make in some cases define what to return on end. Also, be aware that you will not know in asp.net when data actually comes from scanner, and not from user. When scanner returnes data, it's just like keyboard strokes, you cant know when this happens. So, barcode field should have focus when you start scanning.

Most barcode scanners simply act as an additional keyboard and send keystrokes straight to whatever has focus as if it were typed.
You can normally program the scanner by way of special control codes to operate how you would like. For example, where I work we set them to insert a TAB at the end of each read so focus is automatically moved to the next control in the tab order.

Hi...
For about one year, I make the same application also.
We are using scanner from www.cognex.com or www.datalogic.com.
Just find a scanner with RS232 interface. Then use class SerialPort Class.
Use the methode ReadLine(). If the scanner read a barcode, then you get the
ID from the methode ReadLine(). It's so easy. You can also test is using
HyperTerminal.
There are more than 2 manufacturer of scanner, you can find other manufacturer also.
There is also scanner type with USB. If you install the driver, then it will
be converted to RS232 (Virtual Port). You can read it also using class
SerialPort.
Find a sample how to use class SerialPort in MSDN. Just use the sample
to read some barcode from scanner.

You can get hold of them fairly easily, either in fixed form like you get at a supermarket or the handheld variety. The last time I used one was about 15 years ago and in those days was connected to the serial port. These days they're probably serial over USB or something so it shouldn't be hard to start reading off it.
They simply send a series of characters representing the barcode. Very like someone typing the numbers in on a keyboard.

Rob Philpott.

In addition to the Serial Port scanners, you CAN use "keyboard wedge" scanners. Most scanners will let you prefix and postfix custom character strings to the code so your application can tell a code is being "typed", allowing you to either position the focus in the appropriate control or just skip the control entirely and read the keystrokes, building the code internally, until you see the postfix characters. You can then do whatever you need with the code without worrying about where the input focus is. You'd normally use the forms key___ events, with KeyPreview set to True, instead of a particular controls events.

You can get what is called a 'keyboard wedge' which is put in series with the keyboard.
This has the advantage you can enter values with the keyboard when testing.

Hello Experts!!
I got above error when displaying image in crystal report.....
I am assigning root as Blobfield object and assigning to database field.but it gives error.
My code is:
while (dr.Read())
{
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.BlobFieldObject root;
root = (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.BlobFieldObject)objRpt.ReportDefinition.ReportObjects["Picture2"];
object s = dr["Picture"];
Byte s2 = Convert.ToByte(s);
root=(Byte)s2;
}
i dont knw how to bind dr with object.Suggest me method.......
