Built my own stream? - C# Discussion Boards

OK. Sounds good but I have not done this before and i am new at C#.

Have you a link to a sample or something?

Thanks.

It's fairly simple.

1. Add a new "Class Library" project in your solution.
2. Drag and drop the form that is to be shared, into the new project.
3. Add references to the new project from the projects that need to use the form (Right click on the project in Solution Explorer, click Add References and go to the Projects tab).

That should do the trick. Just make sure the shared form is under the same namespace, otherwise, you need to add a "using" directive.

Hello,

I have a C++ dll that I just created and im having trouble converting the data inside a BYTE * to a C# version of byte[].

On my C# App I DllImported the dll, the return type was set to an IntPtr (the return type of the C++ dll is BYTE *)

I then took the IntPtr and did a Marshal.Copy the IntPtr into a byte[], then put the byte[] inside a MemoryStream.

The output should have been an image (bitmap). but when trying to save to file it gives an error of not valid type.

My question is, on the C++ dll, what type is BYTE *? on my C# side should I go int, Uint32, IntPtr??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Steve

Did I create a tough question?

Does anyone know what to Marshal the BYTE * on the C# side of above?

Hi I am developing an asp.net web application using c# and having trouble trying to display integer values, that I have taken from the database, correctly on my webform textboxes. The values are consistently displayed with four 0’s after the decimal point and I am just wondering if anyone knows how to prevent this from happening. Thanks in advance.
Tadhg88

Either the ToString method on your numbers will take a format specifier, or a String.Format can take a format specifier to state how many digits you want after the decimal point.

Hey!

I have built a class that inherit from the Stream class, but i am not realy using any of the Streams members, can i still call my class a Stream class?

My stream class need one stream from the serial port, and one stream from the units within the program.

To get this i add two ArrayLists(BuffertFromPort and BuffertFromUnit) to my Stream class..

My ide of this stream class is to let every unit(that needs the stream) get access to this stream object(as with regular stream objects),

Unit Reading part
the stream object stores the units name and the reader position on the BuffertFromPort array.

The units use a event on the stream to know when data is added on the BuffertFromPort array.

When this event is fired the units is providing there unit name to the stream object, the stream object looks how much data the unit is behind and returns this data to the unit. Is also moves the reader position of the unit.

The stream is using FIFO(First in first out), this means that if all unit reader positions is past a particular elemtn in the array, then it will remove all data before this poition.

Unit writing part
Only one unit can write to the serial port at once, so the unit need to get promission by the stream, if there already is another writing unit then the other unit will have to wait until the writing unit leves the premission free.

also this will be using events to let the serial port know when data is sent from a unit inside the program.

Incoming data from serial port
When data comes on the serial port i use ReadExisting witch return a string, this string is parse to byt[] then it is added to the Arraylist in the my stream object. When i unit is reading it returns the byt[] on a particular element and then the unit is parsing it to string(or what ever) there is also a function to let my stream class handle the parsing from byt[] to string.

THE REAL QUESTION
1. Can i call my class a stream class despite i dont use any of the Strem members?
2. Am i doing this the wrong way?
3. I know that you can connect streams to particular controls, is there any way i can do this?

Can someone please help me wih parseing a simple text file using C#? What I want to do is parse the text file and then put the chars parsed into a database. How would I do this?! Please help!
-Geiste

YOU! Out of the gene pool!

It depends entirely on what you need to parse, and which bit you're stuck with. Do you know how to read in a text file ? Do you know anything about regular expressions ? Is your input text complex enough to demand the use of regex ?

To read a text file:

using System.IO;<br />
<br />
// create reader & open file<br />
TextReader txtRdr = new StreamReader("date.txt");<br />
// read a line of text<br />
string line = tr.ReadLine();<br />
// close the stream<br />
txtRdr.Close();

To enter the chars into a DB, it depends on the DB. And what exactly do u mean by "putting the chars parsed into a database"? Each row of a table would contain one character?

Thank you for your help thus far. Polis:

I am entering the information into rows in a MS SQL DB. Each text file has 255 chars. Each value is a fixed length from eachother. (0,5) is one value. 6,12, is another vlaue. Etc, etc. There is no pattern. I assume I will have to use an array to get all the information to store?

Each value I select will also have a row. I dont know if I am giving enough information. So I will put this as simple and direct as possible.

Think of a spread sheet, Each coloum has a title to it. Below each title is a value (1-5). Each row is a diffrent time the information is assigned (I will need a ID for this). So each time I parse this text file I will be taking the information from the text file placing it in it's row and then pulling the now structured information into my application... Does that make sense? I am trying to give as much information as possible to help Smile | :)

Hmm.... I am not sure I understand what you are trying to tell me Paul. Let's see:

By an MS SQL DB you mean SQL Server? MS Access? Because each database type has a different ADO.NET connection type. For instance, MS Access needs an OleDbConnection. For general info on how to access a database, and loop through a table's records and read their values have a look here[^].

For different database types and information on how to access them, a simple Google search for something like "C# ADO.NET" or "Ms Access C# ADO.NET" would return thousands of hits, so take your pick Wink | ;)

Thank ya, yes I am using SQL Server 2000. I will try your hints, anyother advice?

Not really.

Hi, this should be really easy, but I can't get it to work. What I want to do is to open a window and keep the focus on that window even if the user trys to set focus on the parent window. I have tried to use the Activate and Deactivate events of the two windows but I can't get it to work

I guess what you are after is to be able to create an instance of the new form as modal.

For example: You are trying to open Form2 from Form1 when clicking a button. At the button click event you would say:

Form2 myForm = new Form2();<br />
myForm.ShowDialog();        //show form as Modal

Hi everybody , i want to move my dialog when by pressing the mouse button on any area of my program how can i do this in C#?
in C++ it was too easy by overloading the OnLButtonDown()

void CYourDialog::OnLButtonDown(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
{
CDialog::OnLButtonDown(nFlags, point);
PostMessage( WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN, HTCAPTION,MAKELPARAM(point.x, point.y));
}

But i can't find smth. similar to PostMessage

I think that you can use API of Windows such as "release capture"\"setwindowslong" \"sendmessage"

Does anyone know how i can get an event fired when the user changes the window position of the Internet Explorer?
I'm slowly gettin crazy with this problem...

Thanks for any help!

I understand that by setting DrawMode to OwnerDrawFix and then override the DrawItem method, I should be able to recreate the header for each tabpage,

now the problem is the header of each tabpage seem to be a control, and Graphics.FillRectangle cant fill the whole tab header, what can i do to add custom controls to the header or to have total control over it?

Thank you for helping.

Please have a look at my Custom Drawn Tab control article. And then let me know where you stuck up with problem.;)
