Hi Sasuko,
You can use Reflection to get the file name of the exe file. You have two options:
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location returns the path to the file the actual code is in. So if you put this line in a class library, it will give you the .dll file.
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location returns the path to the file which was first run to start the application. So whether you put this in your console app, or a class library it references, it will always return the path to the .exe.
Hope this helps

Hi,
I'm writing a small program for friends that keeps track of their pet stock, and I cant find a solution to a problem with this code. I am updating an xml file through the DataSet.WriteXml method. Here is some code:
// This is the double click function for the list box control.
private void lvwTarantula_DoubleClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
try
{
ListViewItem selTarantula = this.lvwTarantula.SelectedItems[0];
int indexOfTarantulaSelected = selTarantula.Index;
DataRow rowTarantula = this.tblTarantulas.Rows[indexOfTarantulaSelected];
NewTarantula dlgTarantula = new NewTarantula();
dlgTarantula.txtScientificName.Text = (string)(rowTarantula["ScientificName"]);
dlgTarantula.txtCommonName.Text = (string)(rowTarantula["CommonName"]);
dlgTarantula.cboGenders.Text = (string)(rowTarantula["Gender"]);
dlgTarantula.dtpDatePurchased.Text = (string)(rowTarantula["DatePurchased"]);
dlgTarantula.txtPetName.Text = (string)(rowTarantula["PetName"]);
dlgTarantula.txtSize.Text = (string)(rowTarantula["Size"]);
dlgTarantula.txtStage.Text = (string)(rowTarantula["Stage"]);
dlgTarantula.dtpLastMolt.Text = (string)(rowTarantula["LastMolt"]);
dlgTarantula.MoltHistoryTbox.Text = (rowTarantula["MoltHistory"].ToString());
dlgTarantula.CommentsTbox.Text = (rowTarantula["Comments"].ToString());
dlgTarantula.PurchaseTbox.Text = (string)(rowTarantula["Purchase"].ToString());
dlgTarantula.PriceTbox.Text = (string)(rowTarantula["Price"].ToString());
dlgTarantula.SerialTbox.Text = (string)(rowTarantula["Serial"].ToString());
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
string strNotify = (rowTarantula["CaptiveBred"].ToString());
bool bNotity = false;
if( strNotify == "True" ){bNotity = true;}
dlgTarantula.chkCB.Checked = bNotity;
dlgTarantula.btnCreate.Text = "Update";
if( dlgTarantula.MoltHistoryTbox.Text == "") // If CommentBox empty, enter first date.
{
dlgTarantula.MoltHistoryTbox.Text = dlgTarantula.dtpLastMolt.Value.ToString("d");
}
strLastMolt = dlgTarantula.dtpLastMolt.Value.ToString("d");
int found = dlgTarantula.MoltHistoryTbox.Find(strLastMolt); // Found equals string index.
if(found == -1 && found != 0) // If not found in CommentBox, add new date.
{
dlgTarantula.MoltHistoryTbox.AppendText(" " + strLastMolt);
}
if( dlgTarantula.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK )
{
rowTarantula["ScientificName"] = dlgTarantula.txtScientificName.Text;
rowTarantula["CommonName"] = dlgTarantula.txtCommonName.Text;
rowTarantula["Gender"] = dlgTarantula.cboGenders.Text;
rowTarantula["DatePurchased"] = dlgTarantula.dtpDatePurchased.Text;
rowTarantula["PetName"] = dlgTarantula.txtPetName.Text;
rowTarantula["Size"] = dlgTarantula.txtSize.Text;
rowTarantula["Stage"] = dlgTarantula.txtStage.Text;
rowTarantula["LastMolt"] = dlgTarantula.dtpLastMolt.Value.ToString("d");
rowTarantula["CaptiveBred"] = dlgTarantula.chkCB.Checked.ToString();
rowTarantula["MoltHistory"] = dlgTarantula.MoltHistoryTbox.Text;
rowTarantula["Comments"] = dlgTarantula.CommentsTbox.Text;
rowTarantula["Purchase"] = dlgTarantula.PurchaseTbox.Text;
rowTarantula["Price"] = dlgTarantula.PriceTbox.Text;
rowTarantula["Serial"] = dlgTarantula.SerialTbox.Text;
this.dsAddressBook.WriteXml(this.strFilename);
RefreshTarantula();
}
}
catch(System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException) // Catch exception ...
{
// ... do nothing.
}
// This function adds an Image path to the "Path" element in XML file.
private void mnuAddPic_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
ListViewItem selTarantula = this.lvwTarantula.SelectedItems[0];
int indexOfTarantulaSelected = selTarantula.Index;
//DataRow rowTarantula = this.tblTarantulas.Rows[indexOfTarantulaSelected];
string strPath;
if( indexOfTarantulaSelected >= 0 )
{
DataRow rowTarantula = this.tblTarantulas.Rows[indexOfTarantulaSelected];
OpenFileDialog openFileDialog1 = new OpenFileDialog();
openFileDialog1.Filter =
"Image Files(*.BMP;*.JPG;*.GIF)|*.BMP;*.JPG;*.GIF|All files (*.*)|*.*";
openFileDialog1.Title = "Open an Image file";
if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
strPath = openFileDialog1.FileName;
rowTarantula["Path"] = strPath;
this.dsAddressBook.WriteXml(this.strFilename);
RefreshTarantula();
}
}
}
The "Path" node in the XML file does not appear, and I cant figure out why.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i have been using C# for quite some time now and i was wondering if J# offered the same funnctionality. Which is better C# or J#? does it make any difference wether i use VB, C#, or J# since all the code eventually gets compiled into MSIL>
|
|
|
|
|
i didn't use J# before but J# was mad to make it easy for java developer to move to .Net and minimize learning curve so if you are not java developer i think c# is good choice as you already started with it
as you said all .Net Language genertate il but they are not have the same features there some deference between them

Do you see a J# forum here ? That answers the question 
J# is only semi supported, as far as I can see. C# is where the action is.

C# has many more features than J#. Enums, property syntax, shorthand event declarations (compared to J#), structs, etc.
Having to continually convert between J# 'primitives' and .NET types is really a pain (i.e., 'double' is not identical to System.Double in J#). You must pass .NET types to .NET methods, but they return J# 'primitive' types in J# - you'll never get used to this quirk...

I want to retrive the selected row into a datagrid, and afther andding more rows to the control (through the datasource), to select the previous retrived row.
I retrive the row with the BindingContext property... but how can I select it in the datagrid with new datasource?
I hope I understand...because is a rough world out there...

how can i get the serial number of any kinde of hardware(i.e. HDD,CPU,RAM,graphic card,..etc)
for example in delphi, i use the GetVolumeInformation() to get the serial number of HDD.
so is there such function or class can do this..

I have a multithreaded app which creates several objects. Inside the object class is something like:
public ArrayList Associations
{
get
{
if(this.assocs == null)
{
lock(this)
{
if(this.assocs == null)
{
this.assocs = new ArrayList(500);
return this.assocs;
}
}
}
else return this.assocs;
}
}
Is this kind of lazy initialization safe to do in a multithreaded environment?

I'd use single locking:
<pre>
public ArrayList Associations
{
get
{
lock(this)
{
if(this.assocs == null)
{
this.assocs = new ArrayList(500);
return this.assocs;
}
return this.assocs;
}
}
}
</pre>
unless performance testing shows you need to do double locking, then you need to add a memory barrier,
<pre>
get
{
// use lazy initialization to create the associations:
if(this.assocs == null)
{
lock(this)
{
if(this.assocs == null)
{
ArrayList result = new ArrayList(500);
System.Threading.Thread.MemoryBarrier();
this.assocs = result;
return this.assocs;
}
}
}
return this.assocs;
}
</pre>
You can also make assocs volatile instead and use the double locking.

I was concentrating on your lazy initalization question so much, I missed the bigger issue. You can't just expose a dynamic array list to multiple threads.
Use
this.assocs = ArrayList.Synchronized(new ArrayList(500));
instead.

Actually, your other post answered the question; I used ArrayList as an example only, my actual code uses a custom List<MyObject>.

Hi, i made a windows service, i added the service installer, the service process installer, etc..Then, i did the installer and installed the windows service. It appears in my add/remove programs window, but it DOESNT appear in my Services window, so i cant start it or stop it, or whatever..Does anybody know why? what am i missing? thanks
|

Did you make sure to put the [RunInstaller(true)] attribute above your service installer class? Also, make sure you close and re-open the services window, since it will cache and not notice things sometimes.

Does someone have experience reading WM_INPUT info? I already know I need to use user32.dll, I only have no idea HOW. There are masses of tutorials in c or c++ on this subject, but just a few in C#. I'm a programmer newbe, so I like code with some explanation 
Thanks in advance.

Can somebody tell me the best way to implement the logic similar to SQL Composite Key Constraint.
|
|
|
|
|
Where do you want to implement this?
---
b { font-weight: normal; }
|
|
|
|
|
I have an array of objects of a class having 10 fields. The first 5 fields should behave like composite keys of a sql table. So only objects conforming to the constraint can be added.
I know that this can be achieved using DataSets and DataRelations. I dont want to use it.
I just need a simple logic to implement this in an ArrayList.

Slow method:
Loop through all the records and compare the values in the fields to the new values you want to add.
Fast method:
Create a hash value for the fields and store in the object. Create a hash value for the new values and loop through the records and look for the hash value.
Even faster method:
Use a hash table instead of an array, create a composite value of the fields and use as key in the hash table. Create a composite value of the new values and check if it exists in the hash table.
---
b { font-weight: normal; }

I have a textbox that needs to accept the format: 00:00:00
I would like for the format to be "Locked." Therefore, forcing the user to keep the values in this format. For example, when the textbox shows up, it automatically displays 00:00:00. And the user MUST put values in each place or leave them "0." I took a look at the DateTime method. However, it doesn't seem to do what I am looking for. Also, all values entered can only be 0 - 9. Thanks in advance.

What you are looking for is a "masked edit control". Searching here at CodeProject or on Google will list many of them!

I can aso use rgular esxpressions whit the System.Text.RegularExpressions.RegEx.Ismatch method.
Here is one string pattern to use: "^(20|21|22|23|[01]\d|\d)(([:.][0-5]\d){1,2})$"
You can see more at: http://www.regexlib.com/DisplayPatterns.aspx[^]
