I'm sorry to have taken so long to reply, but I have been struggling to find a reason for your problem.
Unfortunately, I have not found one. I have written custom DGV columns, before, with extra properties and all of them worked a treat. No matter what I do with your code, I cannot get it to work. 
I will keep trying, though, because it is now officially driving me nuts. 
If I find anything I'll get back to you.

Progress, of sorts.
If, instead of using the 'Edit Columns' option from the Smart Tag on your DataGridView, you use the drop down at the top of the properties window to select your column, and edit in the properties window, it seems to take. It does on my system anyway.
Give it a try.
It's not ideal, but until one of us finds the real solution, it should help.

Hi,
what is the use of parameter passed in lock block and why it must be always reference type?
Thanks.
|
|
|
|
|
It's just something to hold onto. Only one thread can hold it at a time, all the others have to wait for it to be passed.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks. But you know it is not expected that the parameter should be used inside code, the protected variable can be something else then parameter. So there is no sense in passing parameter like we normally use in methods.
|

What I think you are saying is that it makes no sense to use "lock(parameter)" when we could just use "lock". If so, then you are wrong - "lock(parameter)" allows multiple, different locks: "lock(myBuffersSection)" and "lock(myXMLOutputSection)". In this way, only the threads that need to be frozen until a specific lock is available are frozen - all the others can continue.

OK, so can you tell me that when we are sending parameter to the lock block is it treated as an input parameter similar to method? Like we send parameter to the method and method will use it.

This is going to be a bit complicated, and I strongly recommend you find a book and read up on multithreading, because it is quite important that you understand what (and why) it happens.
The lock keyword requires you to specify a token (an object reference) that must be acquired by a thread to enter within the lock scope. When you are attempting to lock down a private instance-level method, you can simply pass in a reference to the current type:
private void SomePrivateMethod()
{
lock(this)
{
}
}
However, if you are locking down a region of code within a public member, it is safer (and better practice) to declare a private object member variable to serve as the lock token:
public class MyClass
{
private object threadLock = new object();
public void MyMethod()
{
lock (threadLock)
{
...
}
}
}
Why does it have to be an object? Why can't it be an integer? Or a bool?
This is more complex, and it goes back to the beginnings of what you probably learnt when you were starting. Do you remember all that suff about Value types and Reference types? Well, the lock token must be a reference type, because otherwise when you pass it to the lock block, it would get re-packaged into a reference type container, which would then be locked. If a second thread came along and passed it to a lock block again, it gets re-packaged again, and a different reference type container gets locked.
Remember that (like so many things in C#) "lock(token)" is a "short cut" for a method call - in this case Monitor.Enter and Monitor.Exit - so you are actually passing the token to a method. The parameter works teh same as it would for any other method, packaging and all.
Does this make sense? It is a bit complicated!

The parameter is a way of identifying a particular synchronization scope. It must be visible to every method that participates in that synchronization. It is usually declared in a class as:
class UsesSynchronization
{
private Object key = new Object();
public SafeMethod()
{
lock( key )
{
...
}
}
}
It must be a reference type because a value type would be boxed in a different object for each call to lock, which is actually syntactic sugar for Monitor.Enter and Monitor.Exit.

Hi,
How can I pass a Guid as a Parameter? I have the following method in my DAL but I cannot pass the value as Guid and I don't know how to do the conversion. I get this error "Specialized cast in not valid".
My method looks like this:
public dsWBGT GetPersonByUserId(Guid userId)
{
dsWBGT dsPerson = new dsWBGT();
WBGT.DAL.dsWBGTTableAdapters.PersonTableAdapter taPerson = new WBGT.DAL.dsWBGTTableAdapters.PersonTableAdapter();
taPerson.FillByUserId(dsPerson.Person, UserId);
return dsPerson;
}
Basically I am using ASPNET as the membership provider and I need to retrieve the user details based on the userID.
This is my method:
public void GetPersonByUserId()
{
frmUsers usersForm = frmUsers.GetChildInstance();
this.dsWBGT = personDataManager.GetPersonByUserId(UserId);
this.personBindingSource.DataSource = this.dsWBGT;
}
and finally my event looks like this:
private void dgvUsers_CellContentDoubleClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
if (e.ColumnIndex == 1)
{
Forms.Person.frmPerson personForm = new WBGT.Client.Forms.Person.frmPerson();
personForm.UserId = (Guid)dgvUsers.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[0].FormattedValue;
THIS IS WHERE IT FAILS :((
personForm.GetPersonByUserId();
personForm.MdiParent = frmMain.ActiveForm;
personForm.Show();
personForm.BringToFront();
}
}
Thank you!

Wouldn't a FormattedValue be a string? Not a GUID?
|
|
|
|
|
Not to worry, I have fixed it.
I Converted the Guid to a String and then Passed the string to the property, worked like a charm.
Thank you!

Taking a value, making it a string, then parsing it back to the value it was is wasteful and considered to be poor coding practice.

Does anyone know how to copy a transparent image out of a C# application into the clipboard, and then paste it into Photoshop? When I try this the transparency (alpha) is lost. Here's as far as I got, but it doesn't work (transparency is still lost):
IDataObject dataObject = new DataObject();
dataObject.SetData(bMap);
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
bMap.Save(ms, ImageFormat.Png);
dataObject.SetData("PNG", false, ms);
Clipboard.SetDataObject(dataObject, true);

See if this[^] helps.
Or maybe this[^] one. You'll have to read through the replies, to find one that works for you, I hope!

Thank you very much for the links! I had been working on this problem all day and had came across them. The code snippet I posted was actually based on the second thread. The code snippet adds a PNG to the clipboard which allows transparent images to be posted to Excel. Unfortunately Photoshop, as well as most programs, don't seem to look for PNGs on the clipboard so it didn't help specifically with Photoshop.

Oh well.
Hope you find a solution.

hey , i am new to c# , with a bit of experience and i am wondering how i would go about making a back up program, such as syncing one folder with another.... For example; copying new data in folder 1 to folder 2 ... how would i go about making this ? and if you could direct me to a useful tutorial or tell me some of the code i would be very happy  thanks !!!

No one will really give you such code, because it is readily available by using Google, or reading a book for beginnings. This is basic functions that are taught at a very early level, when you said a bit of experience I assume you where overstating, to say the least.
Please Google for introductory articles on C# and .Net, make use of MSDN (as the examples posted are extremely helpful to beginners and professionals alike) and become accustomed to researching first, trying second and then asking for help, but on specific areas where you get stuck. Not an entire project.

Regardless, your initial post still asked for code, which is generally frowned upon around here. You will see people here willing to help you a great deal if your question revolves around a specific bug and you've sincerely tried to accomplish something, anything other then coming here first.
Good luck with your work.
