It sounds like the number you are passing in is just too big. If the numeric field only supports a max value of say 65535 and you pass it in a long value that's say 1234567, then it will throw an overflow exception. I guess a way to fix it would be either to change the size of the numeric field in the database, or if that's not possible you can return an error to the user or just set it to the max size and ignore the rest of the number.

Run time specification of arguments to method

cmpipey6-Jun-05 2:01

Is there an elegant approach to specifying an argument list for a method at run time? I'm working on an app that makes a set of analysis of a data set. Which analysis and to make and in which order order is specified at run time. I'd like the class to be able to inform a class that calls it what arguments are needed.

Using a params object [] array in the argument will of course give me complete freedom for consuming what ever is submitted, but doesn't provide a mechanism for telling the program what to put into the array.

class MyData{}

class DataStudy{

MyData InputData;

}

class DataAnalysis{

static float Average(MyData InputData){}

static float WeightedAverage(MyData InputData, float weightfactor){}

static float WeightedMomentAverage(MyData InputData, float weightfactor, float momentfactor){}

}

Thanks.

Have a look at the System.Reflection namespace.
If you have a Type object (can be got via object.GetType()) try the GetMethods and GetProperties functions. They will give you objects describing the methods with all their arguments.

pInvoke problem

Hi,

I am trying to pInvoke a vc++ dll from c#, the c# code
try to pass an integer into the dll and change
the global variable declared in the c++ dll, but it failed.
The global variable (int) changed inside the c++ procedure called by
the c#, but once the program run outside the procedure, the global
variable restore to its original value, why ?
And how can I change the global variable declared in the c++ dll when pinvoke by c# ?

Thanks

To me it does not sound like a pInvoke problem but a generic dll problem.
How did you declare you local variable in c++? is it a static int?
Did you check if your c++ dll is unloaded after the pInvoke? (try to add trace code to the _main)

Saving windows form's screen

I would like to save the screen of windows form as an image, would you please advice on how can I do so?

Print Screen may not work as I may need the screen of form that is not currently using. Besides, I do not have button on the form that I want to print, i.e. I invoke the print screen function from another form.

Thanks very much.

You could get the DC of the form and do a bit block transfer:

<br />
//get window handle<br />
IntPtr hwndDesktop = GetDesktopWindow(); //function from user32.dll<br />
<br />
//get size of the form to copy<br />
Size s = form.DesktopBounds.Size;<br />
<br />
//get the form's graphics<br />
Graphics graphicsForm = Graphics.FromHwnd(hwndDesktop);<br />
<br />
//creaste bitmap from form's graphics<br />
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(s.Width, s.Height, graphicsForm);<br />
<br />
//get graphics of the new image<br />
Graphics graphicsBitmap = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap);<br />
<br />
//get hDC of form and bitmap<br />
IntPtr dcForm = graphicsForm.GetHdc();<br />
IntPtr dcBitmap = graphicsBitmap.GetHdc();<br />
<br />
bool result = BitBlt( //function from gdi32.dll<br />
dcBitmap,<br />
0, 0,<br />
form.DesktopBounds.Width, form.DesktopBounds.Height,<br />
dcForm,<br />
form.DesktopBounds.Left, form.DesktopBounds.Top,<br />
SRCCOPY);<br />
<br />
//dispose all object ...<br />

Are you talking about SQL Server Replication or some sort of manual process?

hi,

I know that SQL Server 2000 has some functions for Data Replication.But I need to know there are other free softwares for Data Replication?
Or can we do it as manual way?

I am not familiar with any free software that does this but you might be able to find something. Are you looking to have the data replicated immediately as it is changed?

MDI Behaviour

Hello,
Usually when I drop some controls at the MDI Parent and later open Mdi Child forms, I can see MDI Parent controls on the top of child forms. Is there any way that we can display Child forms without displaying MDI Parent controls. I know that SetWindowPos can make a child form topmost. but It'll be on the top of all other forms too which is not a good solution to the problem.
Any suggestions in this regard will be appreciated.

TIA

Try setting Visible property to False on the controls on the MDI parent form at the time of displaying a particular child form (when you do not want to display them alongwith the child form).

Hello,
Not feasible. Suppose a Groupbox is placed at the MDI Parent with some child controls. MDI child form covers a part of the groupbox and its contained controls. How can this solution help in this regard Smile | :)

thanks for the response anyways.

The probelm mentioned by you arises because you are perhaps trying to put some controls on the client area of parent form, instead of putting the same on the non-client area. The child form which would occupy the client area will naturally cover the client area, which inter alia means that the controls on the parent form (which are in the client area) are also covered at least partially. One thing is sure that if you put some controls on the non-client are of parent form, then the child form will not cover them.

But, the big question is why do you need to put some controls in client area of the parent form, when in the same area you have to show the child form? Why can't you put these controls on the non-client area of the parent form?

If there is some compelling reason for you to put the said controls in client area of the parent form itself, then these are the available options:

1. Make the application Single Form instead of MDI. Here, you'll have the option of showing other forms as independent forms called from the main form (though now they will not be the child forms, i.e., they will not be covered only in the client area of the main form; and plus some other pros and cons). So your child form functionality can be achieved through such other independent forms.

2. Second option is to have MDI format itself and put the controls in the client are of the parent form itself, if you don't have any other options. But, now try to limit the size of the child form in such a manner that the child form opens in the other part of the client are of parent form which does not have the parent controls. And, keep the size and location of the child form under your strict control in the code (e.g., non-flexible such as non-maximizable or fixed-single borderstyle property or subject to some co-ordinate limits by checking in code etc.) This will ensure that the parent controls are not hidden by the child form.

3. The third option is to make the Visible property of parent controls false if it is feasible, as I suggested earlier.

4. The best solution would of course be NOT to put the controls in the client area of the parent form.

try this
make a new form and place the controls on it. and in MDI
change the inherit statment of MDI Class to this newly added form containing controls and see if this you need to do
