Sorry but you should review your coding style. Such a helper function should not depend on class members. Its also not needed to catch an exception only to throw it without any processing. Finally I think its not doing what the poster tried to achieve. If your function processes two string like 'A.B.C' and 'A.B.D.' it would generate two totally different trees in the treeview, instead of one.
Here my code proposal:
<br />
Public Sub AddItem(ByVal text As String, ByVal tree As TreeView)<br />
Dim item As String<br />
Dim node As TreeNode<br />
Dim splitted As String() = text.Split(".")<br />
Dim currentNodes As TreeNodeCollection = tree.Nodes<br />
<br />
For Each item In splitted<br />
node = GetNodeWithText(item, currentNodes)<br />
If node Is Nothing Then<br />
node = currentNodes.Add(item)<br />
End If<br />
currentNodes = node.Nodes<br />
Next<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />
Private Function GetNodeWithText(ByVal text As String, ByVal nodes As TreeNodeCollection) As TreeNode<br />
Dim node As TreeNode<br />
<br />
For Each node In nodes<br />
If node.Text = text Then<br />
Return node<br />
End If<br />
Next<br />
<br />
Return Nothing<br />
End Function<br />
Note that this code is probably not very performant as the GetNodeWithText function will search in linear time. But as long as the treeview doesnt get filled with thousands of items it will work fine.

hi Robert,
Actually i was just doing R & D for given problem and i could't review it ...
Anyway ThanX for Suggestion..... I will Try to Improve my Coding Style Before posting ...........

Hi.
I guess you all know about PE files' timestamps. The are in hex, and for example
41DE6BF7 means 07/01/2005 11:01:11.
I tried many ways to 'convert' the timestamp to a DateTime object, but they all failed. (DateTime.FromFileTime(...), FromTicks(...)
My question is, how to 'convert' the hex value to a DateTime.
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Stan

See the SDK documentation for IMAGE_FILE_HEADER. This reveals that the field is a 32-bit integer representing the number of seconds since 1 January 1970 00:00:00. Probably the easiest way to handle it is to construct a DateTime representing that date, then use AddSeconds.
Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

Hi,
we are working with microsoft technology like for windown application development is in C# and web development in asp.net so for testing the site or window application which testing tool is more reliable and giving excellent result.As there are numbers of testing tools are available on internet but which one is best and reliable.
can anybody tell me into that.?

Hi
I seem to having a number of issues when I try to compile my VC++ VC6 application of VC7.
The main error I get is:
error C2065: 'alloca' : undeclared identifier c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\atlmfc\include\cstringt.h line 187
Any ideas??
Many thanks

Hello all,
I am writing a simple application which uses an XML file as a log file. It's really nothing more than a simple text editing application.
My question is this: am I better off, from a performance/memory usage standpoint, to create an XmlDocument member of my class so that I have only one document open, but always available, or, should I create a new document as needed, and let it get disposed each time it goes out of scope?
Here's some sample code of what I mean:
public class MyClass
{
XmlDocument xdoc = new XmlDocument();
xdoc.Load(pathToFile);
void fn1(XmlDocument aCopy)
{}
void fn2(XmlDocument anotherCopy)
{}
void fn3()
{}
//etc...
}
or
public class MyClass
{
void fn1()
{
XmlDocument xdoc = new XmlDocument();
xdoc.Load(pathToFile);
}
void fn2()
{
XmlDocument xdoc = new XmlDocument();
xdoc.Load(pathToFile);
}
void fn3()
//etc...
}
I read all the best practice documents I could find on MSDN, but they only addressed the plusses and minuses of using the DOM vs. SAX, and gave no guidance on the best way of implementing a class using the DOM.
Thanks all,
John Guin

That's not really a surprise, as I don't think this has a lot to do with XML DOM. It's more of a design question.
Anyway, I would make this decision based on how much the XmlDocument gets used. If it is used extensively throughout your applicaton, I might keep it alive for the life of the object in question. If, on the other hand, it is used only at startup and stutdown, for example, I would instantiate it as needed.
Every time it is loaded, it takes a certain amount of time to read it from disk and parse the XML. That's not something I would want happening constantly. Nor would I want to spend my memory on something that's just sitting there and not being used. Either could be correct, depending on the circumstances.

I'm experiencing a problem in Visual Studio.NET 2003 7.1.3088 w/.NET Framework 1.1 SP-1 that is causing me to lose several hours of development time each week.
When running in my development environment, the first thrown exception causes my application to stop responding for 32-33 seconds. All subsequent exceptions thrown during an application run cause absolutely no delay. An example of code that will cause this problem is:
int z = 0;
int i = 1 / z;
However, the following code will never cause a delay:
throw new Exception("New Exception");
During the entire period that my application is frozen, devenv.exe is hogging 48-50% of my CPU cycles, according to Task Manager. (The other 50-52% is listed as idle.) As soon as this number drops to 0, my application resumes.
A tiny test project demonstrating everything detailed here, with timer code, is available at http://bladetechnologies.us/Files/ExceptionTest.zip.
Googling this madness reveals that many others have experienced "first exception delays" of 2-5 seconds, and that a couple of developers have even seen delays of 10 seconds, but I've read of no one who's approached half a minute. Additionally, reports indicate that with everyone else, the delay does not appear when running the application in Release mode in the development environment, only in Debug mode. In my case, the problem occurs in both modes. When I run the .exe outside of the development environment, however, the problem disappears. Unfortunately, that doesn't help me when debugging.
I'm running Win XP Pro SP-2 on a clean, well-maintained, less-than-six-month-old HP Pavilion zx5000 notebook, with a 3.4 GHz HT P4 CPU, 1 GB RAM, and plenty of HD space.
I'm desperate. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I should have also mentioned that this behavior occurs whether the error is handled or unhandled.

Try disabling hyperthreading in the bios setup. I have a Dell 3.0Ghz with hyperthreading, and always run with it disabled, as it seems to cause too many lockups. I ran your test without HT, and get 1.48 sec delay for "Big Problem" first (consistent over several restarts). I enable HT, and on first reboot the time for this increased to 1.85 (also consistent).
I then noticed a "new hardware found" notification for APCI multiprocessor CPU, and rebooted again. On this reboot, the "big problem" time went to 2.88 sec, and My machine locked up hard with the message box displayed. Would not honor CTRL-ALT_DEL or the (soft) power switch. Had to disconnect AC to recover.
Needless to say, HT is back to disabled...

Thanks for the suggestion, Rob. Unfortunately, my notebook's BIOS interface is a dumbed-down version that won't allow me to disable HT. I've written HP support for a workaround.

Thanks, Colin. Unfortunately, I can't access my secondary cache settings from the BIOS, because my BIOS is purposely limited to prevent users from tinkering with their systems. I wrote HP and asked for a way to access the full set of BIOS features, and was basically told: "You don't need to access BIOS settings. The system chooses the correct settings for you." Nothing like paying $2,500 to be treated like a child.
Rob, HP did provide me with a boot.ini workround to disable hyper-threading, but doing so only increased the error-handling time to 42 seconds.

I’d be really glad to learn how serial com port communication is done using Visual C++.NET and Visual Basic.NET as I’m going to create an application where a master desktop/laptop PC communicates Modbus RTU protocol with external slave devices. My (beginner’s) questions are:
1. How is serial com port communication done using Visual C++.NET and Visual Basic.NET respectively (according to Microsoft)?
2. Which of Visual C++.NET or Visual Basic.NET would be the more suitable language for a serial com port Modbus communication application like this?
3. Is there any comprehensive literature dealing with serial com port communication using Visual C++.NET and Visual Basic.NET (maybe even Modbus specifically)?
4. Are there any good sites where source code for Visual C++.NET and Visual Basic.NET serial com port communication (maybe even Modbus specifically) can be downloaded/bought?

I'm having an issue with special characters being replaces by '?' in the xml document. A simple example is "école" comes out as "?cole".
I am setting an encoding on the xml document like this:
xmldecl = XMLoutPut.CreateXmlDeclaration("1.0",null,null);
xmldecl.Encoding="ISO-8859-1";
XMLoutPut.InsertBefore(xmldecl, ROOTnode);
Later when I load the xml document with the following method:
xmldocument.Load(xr); (where xr is a XmlTextReader object)
In quickwatch I can see my Encoding to be set as ISO-8859-1, but I still get '?' where special characters should go.
I also tried UTF-16, but I get the error: "There is no Unicode byte order mark. Cannot switch to Unicode" on the .Load function call.
Thanks in advance.

In a MFC/WinForms mixed application (via CLR Hosting), I want to show a WinForms form and have a standard Win32 window as the parent (or "owner" as WinForms calls it).
When doing Form.ShowDialog( IWin32Window owner ), everything behaves as expected; the IWin32Window is considered as the owner.
But when I want to show the form as nonmodal by using Form.Show(), I cannot pass an owner. So I tried to P/Invoke the Win32 ::SetParent() function and call it from within the Load handler of my WinForms form.
Unfortunately, the Win32 parent window seems to freeze and the WinForms window seems to never show up.
Question: How can I create a nonmodal WinForms form with a Win32 window being the owner?

By using Lutz Roeder's .NET Reflector[^] I figured out how Form.ShowDialog() does it and so I created a similar function that helped me:
public void Show(
IWin32Window owner )
{
if ( owner!=null && owner.Handle!=IntPtr.Zero && Handle!=IntPtr.Zero )
{
IntPtr ptr2 = GetActiveWindow();
IntPtr ptr3 = (owner == null) ? ptr2 : owner.Handle;
const int GWL_HWNDPARENT = -8;
GetWindowLong(new HandleRef(this, base.Handle), GWL_HWNDPARENT);
SetWindowLong(new HandleRef(this, base.Handle), GWL_HWNDPARENT, new HandleRef(owner, ptr3));
}
base.Show();
}Maybe this helps someone in case you ever needed it  .

Hi All,
I have a query .Please help me on this.
The query is :
We a have acquired a different domain(Domain2.com). We will want to forward this to our existing website(domain1.com), and all e-mails that come in to anyone@domain2.com will be redirected to anyone@domain1.com.
With the our existing website, it doesn’t have a unique ip address that we can give the registrar to forward to, so whichever solution we use will need to be able refer/forward to the site by url name.
Can you suggest ways in which we can achieve this.
Regards
Ashu

Redirecting email: you need to take two steps. I'm assuming your mail is delivered via SMTP to a server you control, rather than being collected via some other protocol.
First, you need to set up your mail servers to handle the messages. If you're running Exchange 2000 or 2003, open Exchange System Manager, expand Recipients and Recipient Policies. If there's only one policy there, double-click it and go to the E-Mail Addresses (Policy) tab. Click New and select SMTP Address, then OK. Type '@domain2.com' in the Address field. Ensure 'This Exchange Organization is responsible for all mail delivery to this address' is checked. Click OK. The Recipient Policy Update process will now process all recipients in the organization (in AD) in the background.
Secondly, you need to tell the world how to send email to domain2.com. Find out who hosts domain2.com's DNS service (the name servers). You can find out if you don't already know by running nslookup:
C:\>nslookup
Default Server: resolver2.th.eclipse.net.uk
Address: 212.104.130.65
> set type=NS
> codeproject.com
Server: resolver2.th.eclipse.net.uk
Address: 212.104.130.65
Non-authoritative answer:
codeproject.com nameserver = ns.dundas.com
codeproject.com nameserver = ns2.dundas.com although you should know this. You need to tell the name server host what MX records to use.
> set type=MX
> codeproject.com
Server: resolver2.th.eclipse.net.uk
Address: 212.104.130.65
Non-authoritative answer:
codeproject.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail.codeproject.com You probably want some redundancy in there, so that if your first-choice mail server is unavailable, messages can still be queued elsewhere (we use a queuing service provided by our ISP). Of course mail.codeproject.com may be a load-balanced front-end Exchange server...
It takes a while for changes to DNS to propogate (servers are allowed - indeed, required - to cache DNS lookup results, and they can be cached at intermediate DNS servers too) so you should consider how you're going to get messages forwarded from the existing servers in the meantime.
Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

How can I encapsulate my program into a software (with setup.exe file)?
My English is so bad. I hope u can understand what I mean ^_^
Thank you!
|
|

|

If you have Winrar, you can create simple exe files which can be started on all win32 computers. If you have Visual Studio 2003 .NET (Pro) you can create a Setup-file project.
And we understand your english
