Yes, ACT is for such a purpose. You can also throw together a simple client that spawns several threads all chattering with the distributed app. That's pretty much what all load-testing tools do. If you need to simulate different clients (ex, with different IPs) that gets a little more difficult but not impossible.

Thanks Heath
one more question
in your experience is the test result accurate?
in the case the test scenario related to the real environment
or i need to test again on real environment
thanks in advance

I'm sorry, but I couldn't tell you. I haven't had the opportunity to test it. I can tell you that lots of people use it, which wouldn't be the case if it were too bad.

Hi, my slave-working  is making a irc plugin for my c# program in vb...i want to embed the dll in my project so others can't ripoff the component from the program folder...
Is their any way to achieve this?...or perhaps some way to compile two differant projects with two differant languages together resulting in one exe?

First of all, what's wrong with just shipping an extra DLL? So long as you don't use the registry and rely instead on .config files (which is what you're supposed to do), you don't have to worry about elaborate installations, hence the "xcopy" deployment term, describing .NET's touchless deployment capabilities.
Second, don't embed it as a resource. If you mean VB.NET (instead of VB), there is a way to do it and handle AppDomain.AssemblyResolve but this is a HUGE waste of time and just isn't proper.
You can also compile two modules compiled from different source languages like C# and VB.NET and merge them into a single assembly. Compile one or the other using the target "module". I would recommend that you do this for the VB.NET project. Then, when you compile the other app into an assembly, you use /addmodule to reference the other module and link it into the assembly:
vbc.exe /t:module /out:Plugin.dll *.vb
csc.exe /t:exe /addmodule:Plugin.dll /out:App.exe *.cs See the compiler documentation or type "csc.exe /?" or "vbc.exe /?" to see more information.
Seriously, though, you'd gain a lot more flexibility by having your exe and dll separate, especially if you want to include more plugins through a .config file. There are several articles here on CP about plug-in architectures. Try a search[^] for examples.

I'm building a form so that customer can fill in their data (with a lot of texboxes). I decided to use datagrid. I don't know if I'm on the right track. I was able to build a array of datagrids programmactically. Here is my situation.
From : mm/dd/yy
To: mm/dd/yy
Fill (button)
Grid1 (all of these grids are built programmatcally and added into a placeholder)
Grid2
Grid3
...
Because there are 2 columns From and To
From : mm/dd/yy (<--- user will fill here) (**)
To: mm/dd/yy (<--- user will fill here) (***)
Grid1
From To A B C
blank blnk (user will fill here) (user will fill here) (user will fill here)
....
I want to assist user to fill the date they enter at (**) into the From column of the grid for them. I don't know what to do. I tried to write a piece of code for the button fill above but I failed.
Help me if you can. Thanks
protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGrid[] grids;
public void fill (object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
string from = frombox.Text;
string to = tobox.Text;
foreach(DataGrid grid in grids)
{
foreach(DataGridItem item in grid.Items)
{
Response.Write("Found");
//TextBox tb = (TextBox)item.Cells[1].FindControl("answerbox");
//string str = tb.Text;
//ls.Add(str);
}
}
}

HI
Yesterday i had it, but couldnt replicate it, but now I have pin-pointed it.
BUG description: When rendering non-monospaced fonts, DrawString "compresses" the last +-25% of the string that need to be drawn. This can be seen clearly especially with long repetitive strings.
Here is a Control that demonstrates the BUG. Note: the alignment in the 1st 75% is "strected" and the rest is "squashed". Also that the complete width seems to be correct in SansSerif fonts, but not in Serif fonts.
[EDIT] If one clearly define the TextRendering not to use a GridFit type rendering, then it works correctly. Now where did I they leave the ClearTypeNonGridFit option? IMO it bad to change the underlying system's rendering as in the case if you have ClearType enabled. [EDIT]
[INFO] http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q307208[^] [INFO][EDIT] I still dont see how thats gonna solve my problem as it appears MeasureString is the cultprit.[EDIT]
Comments welcome (especially from the MS crowd).
class Drawer : Control
{
StringFormat sf = StringFormat.GenericTypographic;
public Drawer()
{
Text = "ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff";
BackColor = Color.White;
Font = new Font(FontFamily.GenericSerif, 24);
}
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
float h = Font.GetHeight();
float w = e.Graphics.MeasureString("f", Font, int.MaxValue, sf).Width;
for (int i = 1; i <= Text.Length;i++)
{
e.Graphics.DrawLine(Pens.DimGray, w * i, 0, w * i, h);
}
for (int i = 1; i <= Text.Length;i++)
{
w = e.Graphics.MeasureString(Text.Substring(0, i), Font, int.MaxValue, sf).Width;
e.Graphics.DrawLine(Pens.DimGray, w , h, w, h + h);
}
e.Graphics.DrawString(Text, Font, Brushes.Black, 0,0, sf);

MS employee: Lets smoke more pot! 
This is absurd:
"The default action of DrawString works against you when you display adjacent runs: First, the default StringFormat object adds an extra 1/6 em at each end of each output; second, when grid fitted widths are less than designed, the rendered string is allowed to contract from its measured size by up to an em.
To avoid these problems, do the following:
Always pass MeasureString and DrawString a StringFormat object based on the typographic StringFormat (GenericTypographic).
-and-
Set TextRenderingHint graphics to TextRenderingHintAntiAlias."
It still doesnt answer why MeasureString should return incorrect values...

I read a book about c# called<microsoft visual="" c#="" core="" reference="">. I find delegate is harder to master than c++'s pointer... I dont know why everybody say that c# is easier to use than c++. sigh...
|
|

|
|
Actually,if c# has pointer instead of delegate. It will be perfect
|

|
|

What don't you get about delegates in particular?

A delegate is a managed function pointer, and even offers several advantages. First, when compiled (for compilers that support this, as the C# compiler does) the compiler automatically generates asynchronous invocation methods! You can't beat that!
Take the following declarations in C:
BOOL CALLBACK EnumProc(LPCTSTR s);
BOOL EnumSomething(EnumProc proc); In C#, this would look like:
public delegate bool EnumProc(string s);
public bool EnumSomething(EnumProc proc); When you call EnumSomething, you would do so in a similar manner as with C:
bool val = EnumSomething(new EnumProc(MyEnumProc));
private bool MyEnumProc(string s)
{
Console.WriteLine(s);
}In the implementation for EnumSomething, you could even use BeginInvoke instead of Invoke (or the shorthand way where you just use the delegate parameter like a function) for asynchronous invocation.
See Handling and Raising Events[^] and Including Asynchronous Calls[^] in MSDN for more information, in-depth topics, and plenty of examples.
Also, just so you can see there really isn't much different, when interop'ing methods that require a function pointer or P/Invoke functions that require function pointers, a delegate is what you use in lieu of an IntPtr. When the param is marshaled, it is marshaled as a function pointer.

Wow! Thanks Heath. I seem to learn something new each time I read one of your posts. I never knew that you could do Asynchronous calls on delegates.

Yep, just a word of warning, though - if the delegate is declared in the current project, the BeginInvoke and EndInvoke methods don't show up in IntelliSense but they're there! If you read the second article link, you can see the generated signatures of those methods; or, you could always compile your project once and examine the method signatures with ildasm.exe.

Hi,
this might be a bit of a backwards question but
i want to be able to test if an app has a manifest/themes is enabled
the reason is that i want to make my own controls render with xp style only if the app is supposed to be themed
i need to do this in .net 1.0
any pointers on how to accomplish this ??
(i already have my xp painting code in place , i only need to check if i should enable it or not)
//Roger

P/Invoke the native method IsAppThemed. Since this is only supported in Windows XP and higher, you can either catch the DllNotFoundException that is thrown in earlier platforms, or use the OSFeature class like below:
public class Test
{
[DllImport("uxtheme.dll")]
private static extern bool IsAppThemed();
public bool Themed
{
get
{
try
{
Version v = OSFeature.Feature.GetVersionPresent(OSFeature.Themes);
return v != null;
}
catch { return false; }
}
}
}

Hi
I am trying to customize by label text by using Graphics.DrawString function. I use it withing the Paint Event Handler of the label (On_Paint() Function in my case). When the form gets loaded, the graphics comes correctly. To update the graphics when the text for label gets changed, i tried calling label1.Invalidate(); and label1.Refresh(); . In both the cases nothing happens...it seems as if the function On_Paint() is not getting executed....
Am I missing an important aspect of GDI Classes or Event Handlers? Please clarify me....
Thanks
Muralidhar

Is the handler really not getting executed, or does it just seem that way? Put a break point in it or use System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine in your handler and watch your output window when debugging. Control.Refresh will invalidate the client region and force a repaint. So long as you're not removing your PaintEventHandler for the label, it will get called.
Also, if all you're trying to do is modify the text, you might consider encapsulating this into your own class that extends Label. For instance, say you want to prefix the text that's assign the parameter, you could do something like this:
public class MyLabel : Label
{
public override string Text
{
get { return base.Text; }
set { base.Text = string.Concat("Prefix: ", value); }
}
}The default behavior will do the rest, such as painting. If you're trying to control the style of the font, you can use the Label.Font property (inheritted from Control).
