Hi,
I want to know if I create a web service method in C# that returns a Dataset as it's return type, can a Java Client call it and retrieve it's values or do I need to convert it to some other object? Right now we have a Java Client that's calling the webservice, but she is getting null values for the return. I know the call is completed with no errors because I am logging the steps. Thanks in advance.

DataSet is a .NET framework class, it can't be handled in Java or other non .NET programs.
What you can do is write a new web method that returns a string generated by the data set (hint: the GetXML method of the DataSet class) and make your java code to call this new method.

What is the suggested thread model for a Listener class? My particular situation involves an asyncronous multicast client that continuously listens for available data and notifies via delegates of received data. The problem is the receive function becomes a blocker if the sender no longer publishes data and the ListenHelper function will never progress. I realize that I could Abort the thread, but for some reason that seems like poor solution. Maybe not. See the snippet below:
class AsyncMCListener {
BeginListen
{
_thListener = new Thread( new ThreadStart( ListenHelper ) );
_thListener.IsBackground = true;
_thListener.Priority = ThreadPriority.BelowNormal;
_thListener.Start();
}
ListenHelper {
while( !_bDone ) {
ReceiveData //BLOCKING CALL
NotifyConsumerDataReady
}
}
EndListen {
_bDone = true;
}
}

I can't think of an obvious way to tell the difference between "there's no more data coming in" and "there will be data in a while", so I think you're stuck with the loop you have.
Can you explain why the loop being blocked on the receive is a problem?

The problem arises when the client wants to stop listening. They've decided they no longer want to be a part of the chat session or the video stream or in my case the Trace/Debug broadcast. There very well may be more data "in a while", but the client/subscriber has chosen not to receive that data. I've implemented the Listener loop such that it handles ThreadAbort and does the socket.Shutdown and socket.Close in the finally of try...catch, but it doesn't seem right. I feel as if there should be an interrupt in there somewhere in the ReceiveFrom call on the socket. That's about the only other way to do it, but that's not built into the socket class, so oh well. Anyways, here's what we've got instead...

sorry to be so lame with this question, but i'm still learning how this works.
how can i get the input from a user in a textbox control on one form to display on another form?
private void data()<br />
{<br />
Mainform.sdgform sdg = new Mainform.sdgform();<br />
MessageBox.Show(sdg.txtShipTo.Text);<br />
}<br />
<br />
public System.Windows.Forms.TextBox txtShipTo;<br />
public void textboxexample()
{<br />
this.txtShipTo.Text = "example data";<br />
}
I have a whole form with a lot of textboxes that a user fills in and i need this data to write to a text file. the problem for me is that the toolbar button (on form 1) generates the 'write to textfile' code but it doesn't see the users input (from form 2). i know it's a lame-o question, but i'm still very new.
Thanks for your help.

One way would be to make your textboxes public, that way the other form can "see" it.

Hello all,
I'm having a bit of trouble with decimal.Parse. I am trying to convert a currency string into a decimal number. This is my code...
decimal theValue = decimal.Parse(strValue, NumberStyles.Currency);
This works fine for string values such as "£1.23" or "$4.56",  but throws an invalid input exception if i try it with "€9.87". 
I'm using VS.NET 2002 (1.0 framework), does anyone know if this works with euro's in 2003 (1.1)?? If so then i'll upgrade to that, if not has anyone got a workaround?
Thanks in advance,
Simon.

If anyone cares, then this is still a problem in the 1.1 framework so you have to deal with Euro's manually.

I care very much, what is the exact problem? Some sort of bug or...
I'm about to port (re-write actually) a 400,000+ lines of code c++ program to c# that will definitely be parsing user entry of Euro values (not to mention pesos, kroners etc etc).

Hi folks,
I´m building a database application, which has to connect to a database through an ODBC provider, but when I insert an OleDbDataAdapter in my form, and try to "connect" it with any ODBC data source, I get a nasty message telling me that the data source and the adapter are not compatible.
If I choose another OleDB provider, such as Microsoft Jet driver it works fine.
The question is: ¿do I need any kind of special code/libraries to get data from ODBC sources?.
Thanks in advance.

What does your ConnectionString look like? Can you also post what excatly the error message says?

The ConnectionString of my connection is:
"Provider=MSDASQL.1;Persist Security Info=False;Data Source=Base de datos de ejemplo Xtreme;Extended Properties="DSN=Base de datos de ejemplo Xtreme;DBQ=C:\Archivos de programa\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Crystal Reports\Samples\Database\es\xtreme;DriverId=25;FIL=MS Access;MaxBufferSize=2048;PageTimeout=5;";Initial Catalog=C:\Archivos de programa\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Crystal Reports\Samples\Database\es\xtreme"
And I get this error message:
"La conexión que acaba de crear no funciona con el adaptador actual"
In english:
"The connection you´ve just created doesn´t work with the current adapter"
Maybe I need some patch or update for my VS copy. 
"When I look into your eyes, there´s nothing there to see, nothing but my own mistakes staring back at me"

If you're using Framework 1.0 and VS.NET 2002, you'll need to download the ODBC.NET Data Provider[^].
If you're using Framework 1.1 and VS.NET 2003, then you just need to use the System.Data.Odbc namespace.
I don't know whether it's just the light but I swear the database server gives me dirty looks everytime I wander past.

Here's part of my project:
public class NetworkStats

fileFR.Close();
fileStats.Close();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
}
}
}
}
The problem is that when arrives to "fs.swStats.WriteLine("prova 2");" it gets the "object reference..." exception, and I can't write anything to the output file....I really don't know what to do!!! 
Please, if anyone has any idea, I'd be really grateful!!!!

Well, I would guess that, since you only create the swStats member when cf.buffCount is true, cf.buffCount is false.
Your best bet is to use the debugger to trace through your application. Check that swStats is being created properly, and if it is what else is happening as your app runs.
Also, I would define a new class that encapsulates the "create a filestream, create a stream writer" code. You're replicating it several times.

Thank you very much!! I think I've found the problem, although is not about cf.buffCount. You're right, I'll encapsulate this function into another class, thank you very much!

As title,
I am a C++ programmer so dont need a book that is too much geared for new programmers.
Are there any other books I should look at ?
I want to make use of the 50% off on this title at amazon.co.uk if it is any good

That link seems to point to "Help: Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
If it was meant to point to "Looking for a good book on C#", then I really want to know about C# Unleashed as it is enjoying a 50% off offer

Ooooops,sorry I don't know why the link does not work correctlly.there is another thread like your question 8 question below yours.Check it,I don't know why the link does not work.

You might have Windows' setting turned on where it doesn't show the accelerator letters unless you press Alt. An easy way to tell is to put a MainMenu on your form and do the same thing. If at runtime you don't see the accelerator letters then you know this is the case. Press Alt to bring up the menu and then they'll be there.

At Jethro Tull's August 28, 2003 concert Ian Anderson mentioned that the group would be performing a medley of title tracks. The songs were "Songs from the Wood", "Too Old to Rock and Roll; Too Young to Die"; and from the Heavy Horses album, "Stairway to Heaven".
