Hi, im pretty new to c# and have a data management question.
I have a windows application and 2 forms.
Form A is the main application form and form B is opened from form A and contains
a CheckedListBox with 5 selections.
Now my problem is that when ive checked my coices and close form B, i need to get the data from form B and update some events based on the choices in form A.
I opened an instance like this:
GetForm getForm = new GetForm();
getForm.Show();
But i guess i have to have a check like this:
if (getForm.ClickedOK() == true) { process data }
And some way to retrieve the checkedlists to read them in form A.
Also, how can i show form B in a modal way?
Thanks in advance
/Johan

ok to show the form in a modal way use ShowDialog() instead of Show().
To get the values of B into A you could try something like -
//in FormA code
FormB fb = new FormB(this); //pass FormA object as a parameter to FormB
fb.ShowDialog();
//in FormB code
private void getForm_Ok_buttonClick(object o,eventArg e)
{
FormA.requiredValues = FormB.checkedValues;
}

Thanks.
Although i tried to pass the main form before as an object the compiler wont allow it since its read-only (i must pass it as a ref).
I COULD pass form A´s items separately to be updated to form B,
but it involves over 40 textfields and it would get pretty ugly.
Any other ideas?

I am putting a slightly modified form of the code submitted in another reply to your query, and I think it should solve your problem:
FormB fb = new FormB();
DialogResult result = fb.ShowDialog();
if(result == DialogResult.OK)
{
FormA.requiredValues = FormB.checkedValues;
}

Ashok Dhamija

I am using a datareader to read cells in a database. Here are a few pieces of my code, what is wrong?
using System;<br />
using System.Data;<br />
using System.Data.OleDb;<br />
<br />
string szQUser = txtUser.Text;<br />
<br />
string szConn = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\\inetpub\\runescapestats.mdb";<br />
OleDbConnection cn = new OleDbConnection(szConn);<br />
cn.Open();<br />
<br />
StringBuilder szMyQuery = new StringBuilder ();<br />
szMyQuery.Append ("SELECT User.Username, User.Password FROM [User] WHERE (((User.Username)=\'szQUser\'))");<br />
<br />
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(szMyQuery.ToString (), cn);<br />
<br />
OleDbDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader();<br />
<br />
while (rdr.Read())<br />
{<br />
int iUsernameOrdinal = rdr.GetOrdinal("Username");<br />
int iPasswordOrdinal = rdr.GetOrdinal("Password");<br />
string szUsername = rdr.GetString(iUsernameOrdinal);<br />
string szPassword = rdr.GetString(iPasswordOrdinal);<br />
<br />
if(szPassword == txtPass.Text)<br />
{<br />
Output.Text = "Logged In";<br />
}<br />
else<br />
{<br />
Output.Text = "Failed";<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
finally<br />
{<br />
<big>rdr.Close();<br />
cn.Close();</big><br />
}
Thanks for any feedback.

What is the error message? AFAIK you cant have a finally without a try I pressume you just ommited it in the post?
|
|
|
|
|
It would have helped if you provided the error message also.
The actual soruce of the error is probably somewhere else in your code. The reason that you get an error in the finally part is probably that the reader is not open, or not even created. The finally code is run whatever happens, and if you get an error in your code prior to the creation of the reader, an exception will be thrown and the code in the finally block will be run. As the reader does not exist, you will get another error when trying to close it.
Check if the reader exists before you try to close it. Same with the connection.

I have a loop that is inside a Try Catch handler. It is 2 nested WHILE loops... the outer loop connects to a list of servers, and the inner loop, is a list of services to check on those servers. When I try to check for a service that isn't on the server, it goes to the Catch statement (which is good) and handles the exception (also good), except it skips to the next server instead of checking the rest of the services on that server. Is there a way to tell the Catch statement to go back to where it left off in the inner loop?
string server = null;<br />
try<br />
{<br />
while ((server = rSrv.ReadLine()) != null)<br />
{<br />
try<br />
{<br />
sw = new StreamWriter("Server_SvcLog.txt", true);<br />
<br />
string header1 = "";<br />
string header2 = "******************** " + DateTime.Now + spc + server + " ********************";<br />
sw.WriteLine(header1);<br />
Running_Event(header1);<br />
sw.WriteLine(header2);<br />
Running_Event(header2);<br />
<br />
StreamReader rSvc = File.OpenText(svcPath);<br />
string service = null;<br />
while ((service = rSvc.ReadLine()) != null)<br />
{<br />
ServiceController sc = new ServiceController(service, server);<br />
if(sc.Status.ToString() != "Running")<br />
{<br />
event_message = "NOT_RUNNING_EVENT" + spc + DateTime.Now + spc + server + spc + sc.DisplayName + spc + " is " + sc.Status.ToString();<br />
Not_Running_Event(event_message);<br />
}<br />
else if(sc.Status.ToString() == "Running")<br />
{<br />
event_message = "RUNNING_EVENT" + spc + DateTime.Now + spc + server + spc + sc.DisplayName + spc + " is " + sc.Status.ToString();<br />
Running_Event(event_message);<br />
}<br />
else<br />
{<br />
event_message = "SERVICE_NOT_FOUND" + spc + DateTime.Now + spc + sc.DisplayName + " not found on " + server;<br />
Service_Not_Found_Event(event_message);<br />
} <br />
<br />
}<br />
}<br />
catch(Exception ex)<br />
{<br />
SvcError(ex.Message);<br />
<br />
}<br />
finally<br />
{<br />
if(sw!=null)<br />
sw.Close();<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
}<br />
catch(Exception ex)<br />
{<br />
LogError(ex.Message);<br />
}<br />
rSrv.Close();<br />
<br />
}

Use the return statement.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not sure how the 'return' statement can help you...
No, to do this, what you need to do is move the try/catch into the loop, or add a try/catch within the loop, so the catch exits within the loop and the loop can continue.

Oops. I was thinking of another language, sorry about that. Stick to the professional.

|

You have to put the statements inside the inner while loop also inside a try/catch block.

Does anyone know of a good 3rd party .net reporting package? I tried using the crystal reports package included with visual studio, but the software doesn't let the user enter information directly onto a generated report. If anybody knows a good one, please let me know.

I have some problem about FileSystemWatch
I use FileSystemWatch to monitor the dir "D:\\TEMP"
And I want to create a file in the dir "D:\\TEMP" , so path="D:\\TEMP\\test.xml"
Then It's fail when I create the File in the dir by using FileStream
And It's fail when I copy the File to the dir by using File.Move();
It's very unreasonable. =.=
My program is below ..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
//*** Program Slice 1
public string Path = "D:\\TEMP";
//*** Program Slice 2
//*** Create FileSystemWatcher
FSWatcher1 = new System.IO.FileSystemWatcher();
FSWatcher1.Path = Path;
FSWatcher1.IncludeSubdirectories = false;
FSWatcher1.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
FSWatcher1.Created += new System.IO.FileSystemEventHandler(FSWatcher1_Created);
//*** Program Slice 3
//*** Trigger when File is Created
private void FSWatcher1_Created(object sender, System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs e)
{
//*** do something
Debug.WriteLine("〔"+e.Name+">〔"+e.FullPath+">〔"+sender.ToString()+ ">");
}
//*** Program Slice 4
//*** I found that the file is created in the dir ,
//*** but when it execute the line "m_streamWriter.Close();" , the file created is gone
FileStream fs = new FileStream(Path , FileMode.Create , FileAccess.Write);
StreamWriter m_streamWriter = new StreamWriter(fs , Big5);
m_streamWriter.BaseStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.End);
m_streamWriter.Write(Result);
m_streamWriter.Flush();
m_streamWriter.Close();
//*** Program Slice 5
//*** Then I use the method File.Move , It's still fail
File.Delete(Path);
File.Copy(Path_Temp , Path);

The FileSystemWatcher won't prevent you from creating files in the watched directory. There's got to be something else that's preventing you from doing this. A Permissions issue, perhaps?

Hi Everyone,
I would like to know how i go about changing a parent form from a child form.
For example from the main menu click search, it pops up you choose search for client, you notice the client doesnt exist so you click a button marked "Add New" it should then close the pop-up form and change the main menu form to the client details form, loading a blank record.
Any help would be fantastic, even a push in the right direction.
Cheers.

In C#, what you need to do is use delegates. These are basically function pointers, you set them up in the dialog, and define them when you create the dialog to be a method in the main form. Then the main form gets a callback event when ( for example ) the Add New button is pushed, and can respond however it likes.

I am fairly new to C# and I am building an application that has multiple forms. Initially my application consumes 1 mb of memory. Then as I open forms the amount of memory increases to several mb. When I close the forms the memory is not released. If I reopen the same form the memory does not increase proportionally. But it keeps increasing. How can I make sure that the memory is released?
|

How do you know whether the memory is released or not? What analysis tools are you using? Are you using task manager for your analysis? It is probably not the most granular and accurate method to make these kinds of determinations, because the CLR may keep the memory if no other apps need it, even when you think you've "freed" it. Have you been to Jeffery Richter's class(es) on Memory Management/Garbage Collection in .NET? Have you tried CLRProfiler? Have you searched CodeProject and/or Google for "performance counters" and see how you can configure perfmon to give you more specific information about what your app is doing?
Are you really having performance problems? Is the machine is thrashing because of low memory conditions?

I just use the Task Manager; for all practical purposes it seems good enough for watching what happens to memory. I have used bounds checkers for memory leaks. There are no "reported" memory issues. I do not have thrasing or any issues "yet". I pretty much have read "Just trust GC". But when a class/form is disposed is not really disposed? Are the contained controls disposed? The application is reading data files.

The Task Manager is actually lousy at showing what's really going on inside the virtual machine that is the managed execution environment of the .NET Framework.
What you're seeing in Task Manager is the amount of memory reserved for the entire virtual machine that you application runs in, not just your application code.

I do not disagree with this part.
Anyhow thanks for the tips.

Not only that, but you'll see this same phenomenon with unmanaged apps, where you allocate memory, then free it, but Task Manager does not show you going back to the original amount. If you don't believe me, write yourself a little C++ app that allocates a few meg on the click of a button and frees it on another click and watch in Task Manager. So, it is not only the CLR that does this thing of not fully releasing dereferenced memory, but also the OS itself. That is because they both have the expecatation that an app will probably repeat its past behavior, so why waste all the extra cycles completely releasing the memory, then going to reallocate it a short time later. If that memory really is not used by the app again and other apps need it, that more complete deallocation will take place.
You can use the SetProcessWorkingSetSize() API function to hurry up and "collect" the the memory that your app has released. I had an app that would use a few meg of memory infrequently and got some complaints that it was taking up too much memory (people looking at Task Manager); I added a call to SetProcessWorkingSetSize() right before it went into its "background" mode and it showed up quite tiny in Task Manager (I forget the exact numbers, but it went from several meg, to a few K). Keep in mind though, that this is only for cosmetic purposes and doesn't really make your app use memory more efficiently or anything like that (and in fact may make your app perform worse, since when it does try to use that memory again, it will probably be slower in getting it).

If you are just using Task Manager, minimize your application and see the memory usage decrease drastically (in one of my apps, from around 25 MB to just over 2).
But as others have said, for a .NET app this number is not real.
