hello all
my question is there any method to determine if MonthCalender selected date is bolded or not?
|
|
|
|
|
Data bold means its a part of how you design. If you find it as SelectedDate means the date is already bold if bold is taken for your selection item.

Okay, I bet this question might have been asked dozens of times before, but at the end of the day, I am still confused.
I am working on a charting/plotting application. My application will also have WinForms controls. Please note that I dont want to use third party controls.
Edit: Actually it's little bit more than a simple charting application. I need to plot hundreds of symbols on the plot. Additionally, the plot will be interactive, e.g., selecting, moving or editing the symbols, adding/editing text on the chart itself. Any second opinions?
My current options are:
GdiPlus: Seems best, but does not supports hardware acceleration.
WPF: Practically, its still too slow.
SlimDX: Might be overkill
Tao: Don't know much yet
XNA: ditto
Since I plan to use Windows 7 features in my application, So this will be a blend of WinForms and custom graphics.
Any help or links comparing the above would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, that's just standard 2D C# code
The NULL Developer wrote: WPF: Practically, its still too slow.
It's done using DirectX, so if it's an option, why not use DirectX without WPF, if you want it to be faster ?
The NULL Developer wrote: XNA: ditto
Another technology based on DirectX.
your options are
1 - GDI ( or GDI+ )
2 - DirectX
3 - OpenGL
That's all that exists, everything else builds on one of those.

Microsoft Chart Controls for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (Windows and ASP.NET)
Besides the libraries, get the VS add-on, documentation and massive 200 sample set.
They're great (IMO).
There should be a WPF version around too.

If you are supporting Vista SP2 / Windows 7 and up only, then you might consider using Direct2D[^], a new hardware-accelerated immediate-mode Windows graphics API. You will have to do a bunch of interop but if you badly need the performance it could be worth it.
Otherwise, you should be able to get decent performance out of GDI+ if you optimize well - buffering, batching, etc. If you use System.Drawing you'll have the advantage of being cross-platform as well.
If you don't mind using a non-free solution, there's VG.net[^], a vector graphics library that handles rendering for you, optimizes heavily, and is easy on memory.

Then I suggest going to the jobs board and offering to pay someone to write it for you.
If you want to write it yourself, then my image processing articles might be a good place to start.

I'm sorry if anyone posted this question before, but i was wondering how can i remove and XML tag, and i mean just the tag not the entire element example:
<font face="Arial">
<font style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Un tehnician în munca lui se foloseşte de diverse scule. Aproape orice trusă de scule conţine una sau mai multe şurubelniţe drepte (vezi figura1 </font>
<font size="3">si 7</font>
<font size="3">).</font>
</font>
to become :
<font face="Arial">
<font style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Un tehnician în munca lui se foloseşte de diverse scule. Aproape orice trusă de scule conţine una sau mai multe şurubelniţe drepte (vezi figura1 </font>si 7 ).
</font>

This is a tough question to answer without knowing the overall goal of the routine you are trying to write.
If you are just trying to eliminate unnecessary HTML, I recommend using a tool like HTML Tidy.
Writing your own solution to clean up HTML would require a great deal of effort.
If you simply want to remove all instances of <font size="3"> and the corresponding </font> surrounding text from your XML, there are a couple of options:
1 - Load XML into XmlDocument and use XSLT to transform output the way you like. You would have a XSLT template to match font[@size="3"] which would just output the inner content.
2 - Loop through the string, looking for instances of <font size="3"> and build a new string by adding the text between the <font size="3"> and the next </font> tag, eliminating the </font> tags.
My guess is that you are looking to cleanup unnecessary HTML, so I would go with a third party option for doing this.

Unfortunetly i never used XSLT and i don't really know how to used but that sounds like a good idea. I'll try to use it. And the sencond option doesn't really work for me because the input and output xml may vary very much.
Any help with XSLT world really be apreciated

I've not actually tested the code samples below, but they should get you started.
Create a file called mytransform.xslt with the following content:
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" ><br />
<br />
<xsl:output method="xhtml" omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="no" /><br />
<br />
<xsl:template match="/"><br />
<xsl:apply-templates select="font" /><br />
</xsl:template><br />
<br />
<xsl:template match="font[@size='3']"><br />
<xsl:value-of select="." disable-output-escaping="yes" /><br />
</xsl:template><br />
</xsl:stylesheet>
Use the following C# code in conjunction with the new XSLT to transform:
<br />
string contentToTransform = "<font>my text <font size=\"3\">some text</font> more text <font size=\"3\">end text</font></font>"; <br />
XmlDocument docToTransform = new XmlDocument(); <br />
docToTransform.LoadXml(contentToTransform); <br />
<br />
<br />
XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();<br />
xDoc.Load(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("/mytransform.xslt")); <br />
XslTransform xsl = new XslTransform(); <br />
xsl.Load(xDoc);<br />
<br />
<br />
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();<br />
HtmlTextWriter writer = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);<br />
xsl.Transform(docToTransform, null , writer)<br />
<br />

I need to get the LRC (longitudinal redundancy check) value of a string. This data is being sent to a credit card processing network over SSL. After I get the LRC I am coverting it to string, then to a byte, and adding it to the end of a byte[] to send through SSL. When I send the transaction I am getting a NAK response to my LRC. What am I doing wrong?
I have tried this
RequestMessage contains Message+ETX only
public static char ReturnLRC(string RequestMessage)
{
int lrcAnswer = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < RequestMessage.Length; i++)
{
lrcAnswer = lrcAnswer ^ (Byte)(Encoding.UTF7.GetBytes(RequestMessage.Substring(i, 1))[0]);
}
return (Char)lrcAnswer;
}
char charLrc = ReturnLRC(Trans);
string lrcString = charLrc.ToString();
byte[] LRC = unicode.GetBytes(lrcString );
fullMessage[addLRCHere] = LRC[0];
I have also tried this seperatly.
RequestMessage contains Message+ETX only
public static char theReturnLRC(string RequestMessage)
{
int lrcAnswer = 0;
byte[] byArray = Encoding.UTF7.GetBytes(RequestMessage);
foreach (byte curByte in byArray)
{
lrcAnswer ^= curByte;
}
return (char)lrcAnswer;
}
char charLrc = ReturnLRC(Trans);
string lrcString = charLrc.ToString();
byte[] LRC = unicode.GetBytes(lrcString );
fullMessage[addLRCHere] = LRC[0];
Neither process works, are the methods incorrect or is my conversions afterwards messing everything up? Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
Removing all the conversion confusion I found that I was generating the correct LRC. Thanks Everyone!!!

I am amazed that a credit card company is using only LRC - I would have thought at least CRC-16.
However, assuming LRC is what they want, then I would be reasonably sure that it is the various conversions that are causing the problem. You are starting with a UTF16, convering it to a byte via UTF7, then back to a char (UTF16) and up to a string (still UTF16) and then back to a byte. I would start with a similar data set from them, and examine that. What do they send as the data, what do they send as the LRC? You should then be able to work it out from that.
No trees were harmed in the sending of this message; however, a significant number of electrons were slightly inconvenienced.
This message is made of fully recyclable Zeros and Ones

This does not seem right: you choose UTF7 encoding, however for each string character you only use the first byte GetBytes returns.
You should have two distinct steps:
- represent your string as a byte array in the encoding of your choice;
- calculate LRC on that byte array.

Thank you for your response Luc. However it looks like what you are telling me is what I did in the second example I show. Please correct me if I am wrong in this assumtion. Here is the second example.
RequestMessage contains Message+ETX only
public static char theReturnLRC(string RequestMessage)
{
int lrcAnswer = 0;
byte[] byArray = Encoding.UTF7.GetBytes(RequestMessage);
foreach (byte curByte in byArray)
{
lrcAnswer ^= curByte;
}
return (char)lrcAnswer;
}
char charLrc = ReturnLRC(Trans);
string lrcString = charLrc.ToString();
byte[] LRC = unicode.GetBytes(lrcString );
fullMessage[addLRCHere] = LRC[0];

OK, two comments:
1.
Kiotaya wrote: string lrcString = charLrc.ToString();
byte[] LRC = unicode.GetBytes(lrcString );
fullMessage[addLRCHere] = LRC[0];
what is all this stuff? you perform calculations on bytes, turn the result in a char, then a string, then a byte array, and then take the first byte. Why can't theReturnLRC() just return the byte result for immediate use?
2.
Your LRC is starting from zero, and XORing the bytes. There are hundreds of "standard" checksums and the like (using XOR or ADD; using left shifts, with recycling some carry, etc). Are you sure this is the one you need? Can you confirm with a few simple examples that are known to be good?
This[^] says "...may be computed in software by the following algorithm...". While this[^] uses a different definition.

I forgot one remark:
if (I don't know, you haven't told us enough to be sure) your communication is basically binary possibly with an occasional letter or word embedded in it, then you should not be using any strings at all, instead you then should be using byte[] exclusively.
Do you have the full specification?

Sorry I didn't reply to this much sooner but the help you game me help me clear up this problem.
Thanks Luc Pattyn and everyone else.

Hello would you be able to post the solution for this?
I have a scenario where its been mentioned that my message will be sent in the following format
STX Data ETX BCC
And that BCC = LRC - XOR over all characters excluding STX but including ETX.
I am kind of trying to figure out how this works?
Here is the LRCCalculation method I have implemented.
private char CalculateLongitudinalRedundancyCheck(string source)
{
int result = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < source.Length; i++)
{
result = result ^ (Byte)(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(source.Substring(i, 1))[0]);
}
return (Char)result;
}
I get the LRC from this and then what...!!
For ex: say my data is something like "345565645023495767714.12.1988021114:33 15.8001".
