Ok, now that I was convinced that datatables are the way to go, someone explain how they work. What are the three different parts, and why use them. If the explainations don't help, then I will post my code, and see what is wrong. Thanks for all help.

A DataSet is a collection of DataTables. A DataGrid has a datasource property, which can accept an array, or a DataTable ( amongst other things ). Once you set the datasource property, you call the DataBind() method on the grid, which will cause the control to attempt to render itself using the data source. Your aspx should define the grid such that it contains the columns you want it to, otherwise, I believe you automatically get a column per column in the data source.

So am I only required to use the Data Table? Right now I am only using a Data Table, and it won't acctually place it on the page, how do I get it to do so?

How do you mean 'it' ? You need to create a datagrid, set it's datasource to be the datatable, and call DataBind() on the grid. Then you can format the grid and add your controls, etc, in the aspx.

Where is my problem Christian?
public void CreateTable (Object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
string[] skills = new string[3];<br />
skills[0] = "attack";<br />
skills[1] = "strength";<br />
skills[2] = "defence";<br />
<br />
<br />
DataTable dtshowskills = new DataTable("USkills");<br />
<br />
DataColumn userSkill = new DataColumn("Skill");<br />
showskills.Columns.Add("userSkill");<br />
DataColumn userLevel = new DataColumn("Level");<br />
showskills.Columns.Add("userLevel");<br />
<br />
foreach (string skill in skills)<br />
{<br />
DataRow drskill = dtshowskills.NewRow();<br />
drskill["userSkill"] = skill;<br />
drskill["userLevel"] = 0;<br />
showskills.Rows.Add(drskill);<br />
}<br />
<br />
DataSet dsshowskills = new DataSet();<br />
dsshowskills.Tables.Add(showskills);<br />
dgSkills.DataBind(dsshowskills, "USkills");<br />
}<br />

First of all,

dsshowskills.Tables.Add(showskills);
You don't need this. Why do you want to create a dataset ?
dgSkills.DataSource = showskills;
dgSkills.DataBind();

Now I get this error:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Does that mean I am creating a cell, and not using it?
I found a couple silly mistakes when I was reviewing my code. Fixed those, still no luck. I hate it when I don't understand something, I haven't done any ready on DataTables, so I feel helpless.
Thanks for all of your help man.

You have to create the datagrid in the aspx, then in the codebehind, you create the variable, make it protected and make sure the name is the same. If you just put a datagrid in your codebehind, it will indeed be null.

HI All,
I am trying to call a function from a dll. One of its parameters is a structure that I will need later to call another function from another dll but the problem is that I don't know its detailed structure to be able to marshall it in C#.
I am not interested in accessing the struc ture's attributes,it's a temporary step for me before calling the other function. However,it must be accuartely done in order to pass a correct argument to the other function.
Can I just marshal the unknow datatypes within the structure as it they were "void"?
Any ideas or suggestions? It's really has been puzzling me for a time now and I can't reach a solution
Thanks and Best Regards,
E.A.

IF the dll is a Microsoft one, then pinvoke.net[^] might help. Either way, it would give you examples showing how this is done.

Thanks Christian
Unfortunately,it's not a MS one.It's an Intel one. I have already checked the pinvoke documentation and marsalling in msdn but it didn't provide me with examples in my case.
do you have any idea what can i do?
Thanks and Best Regards,
E.A.

If you know the total size of the structure and if the contents of the structure dont matter, then you can try allocating memory equal to the size of the structure and pass the pointer to the memory as a void parameter instead of marshalling it as a structure.

What if I have the following case :
struct x (whose structure is unknown)
x* a = function(string m);
int b= function2(a,....);
If I used your idea, will it work in that case?
Thanks for your help,I really appreciate it...
Best Regards,

hi, I posted this somewhere before, but it is rather important that I get an answer. hope this doesn't violate any rules or anything on posting to repost it.
anyways:
yeah, I have a datagrid control on a form. How do I do a simple binarysearch on the table so I can select the row that results were found in. thanks. also, is there a way I can make rows invisible so they still exist, but aren't visible? thanks so much.
Stephen
also, in this datagrid, I'm displaying id3 information about mp3's using a library I found online. it works well, but when I display the information it outputs in the datagrid, I get many of these strange symbols that look like a square. I exporte dthe datagrid as an xml file and found the square to be represented by & # x 0 ; minus the spaces. I can also paste this sequence here without spaces and it will show the odd symbol: �

You will need a custom search procedure that will loop through the items in the bindingmanager of the datagrid. Each index in the item list of the bindingmanager equals one row in the datagrid. You can select rows in the datagrid using the Select(rowIndex) method

Use the dataview component. It's perfectly suitable in the situation. It can hide rows using a rowfilter.

There is something wrong with library you are using or there's something wrong with the interface communicating with the library. Have you asked the creator of the library if this is some kind of bug? Because I think the library is pumping out id3 data that isn't really part of the id3 data.

hi i am tryin to sent the word hi using serial port to the other computer when i clicked on the hi button.
public void Write(byte[] WriteBytes) <br />
{<br />
<br />
if( hComm != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE ) <br />
{<br />
OVERLAPPED ovlCommPort = new OVERLAPPED();
<br />
int BytesWritten = 0;
<br />
WriteFile(hComm,WriteBytes,WriteBytes.Length,ref BytesWritten,ref ovlCommPort);
<br />
}<br />
<br />
}
this is my write()
so at the hi button what parameter should i pass over.
Hope to get an example from u guys thanks alot

hi, I can't be much help, but just checking and sort of asking. isn't it dangerous and won't it short out a port to directly connect a serial port from computer to computer, pretty sure the signal has to be inverted or rerouted to the incoming ports, otherwise data will clash inside the wires right?

hmm dont really know much abt hardware..
i just connect a serial from com 1 to com 2 of the same computer. and use hyper terminal on com 2 to check the input

Yes, he needs a null modem cable, which is wired to deal with the problem you're describing.

I have a WinForm that calls Func1() and Func2 in the Form1_Paint handler.
I also have a "Clear" button that sets a bool flag to false which then in
turn sets false the bool flag in the code that draws the two lines, BUT leaves my Form intact- that is the axes, labels etc...remain. Just the lines
are removed.
The line coordinates are based on TextBox values, converted to double and passed in to the DrawLine(.. funcs.
Q. Is there some way to only change/erase just one line at a time?
thanks......................

If you're drawing lots of lines, you could add them to an arraylist, and remove them when you delete them, or if you want to redraw them, put a flag on each to say if it should be drawn or not. There's no way to erase them per se, you simply do not draw them if you don't want them.
If you have two lines and you just want to choose which ones to draw, use an enum instead of a bool so you can store multiple states.

call Invalidate(rect), in place of Refresh(void) or Invalidate(void).
the rect parameter with is the rectangular area your line covers
This will change the only line also reduce the waste repainting efforts taken by processors in redrawing whole window
Cheers

this may be a long winded a unefficient way to do it, but couldnt u get the co-ords of the line u want to erase and simply re-draw it, but in white (or ur background colour), effectly "erasing" the line visually.
another way is to maybe clear the whole area ur drawing on, then re-draw the line u want to keep.
i know both are basically quick fixes, not the best way to approach it, but they' work

Hi All,
I have the following problem:
After sending a Write command to a device, directly followed by a Read command it seems that the data on the device is not yet available.
It seems that the write/read part is too fast for the device to 'generate' the data.
<br />
port.Write("some request");<br />
<br />
char[] cData = new char[port.BytesToRead];<br />
port.Read(cData, 0, cData.Length);<br />
strTemp = new String(cData);<br />
The baudrate is 9600 and cannot be set any higher.
Also i would not like to add a pause like:
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
It's unknown how large the buffer is, so it could well be beyond 1 second, but could be much less too.
Does anyone have a solution here ?
Thanx,
Jan

You could have the client send something to the server(or machine sending information) telling that it is finished.
Are you using StreamReader/StreamWriter?
