AFAIK, this is true. You can't change the name of the .DLL that the function header is bound to.

But, you can create several function headers, each with a difference name of course (there's always a down side!), aliased to the real name of the function in the .DLL. This will also force you to write code to call each of these function names seperately. Frown | :(

I suspect there might be a way to use some kind of self-modifying code technique, possibly involving the Reflection namespace. But this is sheer speculation. I have no proof that this can be done or example code to show you.

Hi,

You're nearly there, this article:
http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/legacyplugins.asp[^]
shows a way, but you need to write a front end dll with a win32 compiler. As you only have a single function to call, this wouldn't be a big deal I guess.

Thanks for your suggestion!
I have been playing with this thought already, but didn't really like the idea of having to add an additional level of indirection...
But if everything else fails I guess I'll use this approach.

Hi...I'm doing a project to detect drowsiness through a persons voice pattern chages. For this I'm considering only a "word" at the moment and planing to use Fast Fourier Tarnsformation(FFT) and Artificial Neural Network(ANN). I need to analyse spectrum changes of the wave and insert those chages as the inputs for the ANN.
So I need a code of the FFT to analyse the spectrum change and it has to be in c# as I'm using c# .net for the implementation. Can anybody please help me with this...If soemone can send me a c# code for the FFT it would be a big help... Thanks alot..please reply...

This ought to get you started: http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/howtofft.asp[^]

I need to create an editable Datagrid with one combobox column.
How can I do this?

Hi
I am having small problem in WMI related question.
The folowing function will accept username,password and process executable path as input parameter, and it will launch a new process in the host.and finally I will fetch Process ID and process name.
This code is working fine for the current user, that means passing username and password as null.

My requrement is I wand to run a process for a different user( with username and password)
Can any one guide me in this rehgard?

void LaunchProcess(string filename,string username,string password)
{

bool currentUser = false;
string processName = "";
uint processID = 0;

if( (username != null)&& (password != null))
currentUser = true; // LaunchProcess got username and Password.

ConnectionOptions objConnectionOptions = new ConnectionOptions();
if(currentUser ==true)
{
objConnectionOptions.Username = username;
objConnectionOptions.Password = password;
}

ManagementScope objManagementScope = new ManagementScope("root\\cimv2", objConnectionOptions);
objManagementScope.Connect();
ManagementClass processClass = new ManagementClass("Win32_Process");
processClass.Scope = objManagementScope;
//Get an input parameters object for this method
ManagementBaseObject inParams = processClass.GetMethodParameters("Create");
//Fill in input parameter values
inParams["CommandLine"] = filename;
// this will execute the command.
ManagementBaseObject outParams = processClass.InvokeMethod("Create",inParams, null);
// Wait for 1 Second to start the Process
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);

// Get the Unique Process ID after Process Creation
processID = (uint)outParams["processId"];

//Query based on the received processID and get the Process Name .
ObjectQuery objObjectQuery = new ObjectQuery("Select name from Win32_Process Where ProcessID = '" + processID + "'");

ManagementObjectSearcher objMagObjSearcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher( objManagementScope, objObjectQuery );
ManagementObjectCollection objMagObjCollection = objMagObjSearcher.Get();

foreach( ManagementObject objManagementObject in objMagObjCollection )
{
if(objManagementObject["name"] != null)
processName = objManagementObject["name"].ToString();

} // foreach

}

}

Does onyone know of a way (or if it's even possible) to capture keystrokes in a C# app, regardless of wether it has focus or not.

I'm making a dock app for myself using C# and want to add keystrokes support and being a dock, it'd be more useful if it didn't have to have focus

Any ideas appreciated

Aaah, don't worry, found these

And do you have a specific question about your homework assignment, or did you just want us to write it for you?

Hi
I am new to c# , so I dont know how to do this. I have a rough idea that I have to do like this
"Use xPath queries to fetch the same data from the XML and display
in the form "
But I need a rough idea of the coding.
Please can u wirte me just how to frame a xpath to fetch data's from a xml with a small example.
so that I can use it to do my program.

santhosh

Why not just host the Crystal Report Viewer control. It does everything you need, displays the report on screen and lets you print it or export it to a third-party application.

Other than that, you could host an IE browser control and use XSLT to transform your xml file into html.

Try the one listed in webservicex.com. It didn't work 100%, but worked reasonably for a free service (atleast here in India).

Please don't cross-post in multiple forums. It's considered very rude.

And posting VB code in a non-VB forum open you up for.... well.... let's just say, it's not pleasent.

Hi,
I'm trying to call the Matlab engine API from C# in an ASP.net web application. To start with, I built a simple C# console app (see below), based on www.codeproject.com/samples/matlabeng.asp and it works fine.

But when I try the same thing in an ASP.net web application (I try and initialise the engine in the Application_Start method in the global assembly), I can't seem to open a connection to the Matlab engine. The engine handle after the engOpen() call is still null.

I'd welcome any suggestions for things to try.

----------------------
using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
//P/Invoke wrapper for a couple of functions from matlab's libeng.dll
class Matlab
{
[DllImport("libeng.dll")]
public static extern IntPtr engOpen(string s);
[DllImport("libeng.dll")]
public static extern IntPtr engClose(IntPtr e);

//try out some other win32 dll
[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto)]
public static extern int MessageBox(int hWnd, String text, String caption, uint type);
}

//test class to exercise the matlab engine wrapper
class Class1
{
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
IntPtr engine;
engine = Matlab.engOpen(null);
//Matlab.MessageBox(0, "Hello World", "Platform Invoke Sample", 0);
Matlab.engClose(engine);
}
}
}

Hello!
I myself am new and haven't done WinForms yet, but are you having problems with MessageBox.Show ?

i seem to be having problems and can't find anywhere which explains this situation well. basically i have a datalist where currently the user can change the first name of the "member" so when they click on edit the textbox comes up to handle that. now i'm stuck on the update portion. heres what i have, i think i'm way off... help!

<br />
                        public void Update_User(object sender, DataListCommandEventArgs e)<br />
		        {<br />
                        <br />
string txtCustFirstNameEdit = ((TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("txtUserFirstNameEdit")).Text;<br />
			string UserKey = userList.DataKeys[e.Item.ItemIndex].ToString();<br />
			<br />
			//check to see if i have the correct key, it is posting correctly<br />
                        message.Text = UserKey;<br />
			<br />
			<br />
                        //Conenction string hidden, but correct<br />
			OleDbConnection userListConnection = new OleDbConnection(@"Provider....);<br />
<br />
			StringBuilder custUpdateBuild = new StringBuilder();<br />
			custUpdateBuild.Append("UPDATE custInfo SET custFirstName = ('");<br />
			custUpdateBuild.Append(txtCustFirstNameEdit);<br />
			custUpdateBuild.Append("') WHERE ID= ('");<br />
			custUpdateBuild.Append(UserKey);<br />
			custUpdateBuild.Append("')");<br />
			string oleUpdateString = custUpdateBuild.ToString();<br />
			OleDbCommand userUpdateCommand = new OleDbCommand();<br />
			userUpdateCommand.CommandText = oleUpdateString;<br />
			userUpdateCommand.Connection = userListConnection;<br />
			userListConnection.Open();<br />
			userUpdateCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();<br />
			userListConnection.Close();<br />
<br />
			userList.EditItemIndex = -1;<br />
			userList.DataBind();<br />
}<br />

also should i be using the dataset at all? any help would be appreciated.

hi,

can we use two diffrent namespaces one after another within a single C# programs, for example something like following code..

<br />
Using system1;  //namespace1<br />
Using system2;  //namespace2<br />
<br />
namespace custom_namespace<br />
{<br />
   class myclass<br />
   {<br />
         // code here<br />
   }<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
