Hi,
I have a table in a Dataset that contains rows for many products. Each row contains Rate of that product. I want to create a new table which would contain Rate of all products discounted at 20%. Is it possible. If yes how?.
My preferred approach is rather then reading each row and then getting the rate i want to apply this dicount for all products at one time.

Hi Nishant,
You can DataColum.Expression property for doing this. This allows you to calculate the values of a colum.
1) Create a new colum with a proper data type.
2) Set the expression property of that coloum . (Ex "rate * 0.8")
3) Add this colum to the table.
The new column is filled with the calculated value.
Hope this will help you.
Regards

Hi people,
I have a running small windows forms application on 1.0 and 1.1, but when I use the code on 2.0 beta, it says that the thread cannot access an object that it hasn't created . Can anyone check this out for me please? I have 2 files, one called Main.cs, which is the main program and then I have Ticker.cs which is another window class called from Main. I will post below the whole code for both files, if anyone has any clue about that.
I am using SharpDevelop for 1.1 and Visual C# Express 2005 beta for 2.0

This is most likely occurring in your tick event handler. Basically, Windows Forms controls (like your progress bar), and indeed all Win32 common controls, cannot be accessed on a thread other than the thread that created the control. Check out MSDN for Control.Invoke and Control.BeginInvoke.

You've broken one of the basic rules of Windows UI programming. Only the thread that created the UI can modify the UI. .NET 1.1 doesn't report any exception but I bet you wouldn't have achieved the effect you wanted. .NET 2.0 immediately throws an exception if you try to modify the UI from some other thread.
You'll have to use Invoke/BeginInvoke to marshal the method call on the UI thread.

Hi,
well, the weird thing is that it is actually achieving what I want...After the progressbar finishes, the first window is hidden and the other window opens and you have 2 threads created. One is the right method to move text from right to left and the other is the left method..and they loop forever.
I will try looking into that invoke thing, although I have no idea how it works.
thanks for the tip, I appreciate it

Hi everybody.
I'm retreiving a DateTime from MS sql server, on two different computers.
Both computers have the same definition in ControlPanel > Regional and language options, and same version of .Net (1.1).
When I cast the DateTime to string, (DateTime.ToString()), I get on computer #1 mm/dd/yyyy, while in computer #2 I get dd/mm/yyyy.
Where is the problem?
Thanks,
Yaakov

I am not getting why it is showing differently. Just have a look at you regional settings agian.
And you can use string formats to get your date both date in one format .
DateTime.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy")<br />
or<br />
DateTime.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy")<br />
or<br />
DateTime.ToString("MMM-dd-yyyy") wiil help you out to get a common format for Dates.

I know about the formats.
However, this doesn't solve my problem, since I can't modify the entire application.
Thanks anyway.

Now Main thing is that one some machine our same application is running without error and on some machine it is givign error which i had describe above so after searching i found that this is error due to .net security now can anybody know how to give right of user which allows my console applicaiton to run without error?
where and how to give rights to user so my application run without errors?

Go into Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Microsoft .NET Framework wizards, Trust An Assembly, then specify your application and give it the necessary trust to run.

in C++ i can pass a function a const reference to an object. i find this is normally a good idea, since it assures me that the function will not make any changes to the objects state.
is there an equivalent concept in C#? if i understand C# correctly all instances of objects are references and initial experiments show they are passed as modifiable references.
i am trying to create a tree of objects (representing the sub directories on a CD-ROM), so that i can say to each child "this is your parent", passing a constant reference to its parent in its constructor. a child cannot alter its parent, so i want to enforce this concept in the code.
i have found a C# article on modifier keywords which led me to discover that i can have a read only object. but putting readonly before the parameter type does not compile 
if there is no such concept, how do people express the concept "remember this object, but you cannot modify it?"

There is no language support for const function parameters. For your case though, you can declare the parent field in the child class as readonly. That means that it can only be set in the constructor/field initializer. Like this
<br />
class Child : Node<br />
{<br />
private readonly Node parent;<br />
<br />
public Child(Node parent)<br />
{<br />
this.parent = parent;<br />
}<br />
public void SomeFunc()<br />
{<br />
parent = new Node(...);
}<br />
}<br />

I need to get a new pixel color starting by a green color and another one over this blue semi-transparent at 50%.
I've readed some articles on this forum but i need just 2 lines of code not warking with whole bitmaps.
I know it is a very simple stuff, but i don't know how fuse or join two pixels getting another colored pixel.
i've tried with
myColor.R = Color.Green.R & Color.Blue.R
myColor.G = Color.Green.G & Color.Blue.G
myColor.B = Color.Green.B & Color.Blue.B
it works but it fuse full blue on green, i need to fuse semitransparent blue instead.
Please help me.
thanks

I was hoping other developers could give me some advice as to where to store my data! Previously I have always used classes to maintain information relating to the current process. If a background thread required additional information to process, I usually either passed the information in as a parameter or added properties to my thread class.
Recently I have become aware of CallContext and Thread.SetData. I am sure there are also other "places" that .Net provides for storing information relating to the current process/thread.
My question really is: could someone help me understand the scope and purpose of the different storage mechanisms provided by .Net and why you would use one over the other.
Thanks in advance.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
After some investigation, this is my understanding:
CallContext is visible to all theads where Thread data is only visible to the active thread.
I believe these mechanisms are available as a convenient way to gain access to objects and can be used to avoid the difficulties of making classes visible to eachother. I tend to use Class (static) level objects for this, but I can see in some cases (e.g., usertokens) CallContext would be useful.

AFAIK, Thread.SetData can be used to store data that you are sure you don't want to share among threads.

Hi all,
I p/Invoke a VC++ dll in C#, but there is serious memory leak, how can I fix the memory leakage by the VC++ dll caused by P/Invoke ?
(the leakage seem not come from the internal C++ code inside the dll, so I suspect it come from the loading and unloading of the dll in C#)
Thanks
|
|
|
|
|
Hi!
If it were like you say everybody would have serious problems using P/invoke.
I think it's very unlikely for the P/invoke mechanism to create memory leaks the dll itself doesn't.
The first time you call a p/invoke function, the containing DLL is loaded and as soon as the class you declared the function in goes out of scope (usually when unloading the AppDomain), the DLL is released.
What exactly are the signatures of your functions and your DllImport declarations?
