Hi Everyone,
I am faced with a bit of a problem. I suspect it is a problem only because of my non-existant knowledge of c/c++.
I need to use a third party SDK to be able to control and/or monitor some telephony hardware from a popular vendor.
My problem is that I have to do this from a .Net environment (C#) but the SDK file are .lib files. It is said that it is dynamically compiled (what that means I have no idea).
Can anyone possibly tell me how I could use it from C# and if it's impossible, how I can wrap it in normal dll's (so I can use Dllimport) as normal.
Thanks and Regards,
Phi?

As far as I know there is no way to include .lib files in a C# assembly. Your assumption is right in that you have to write a quick wrapper for the .lib but there's good news: the wrapper doesn't necessarily have to be a native DLL. You could start a Managed C++ .NET Control Library project which will create a .NET assembly DLL that you would be able to reference from C#. Granted the task is not trivial if you have no experience writing C/C++ but you should be able to find some examples on the web on how to wrap a .lib in a managed assembly using Managed Extentions for C++.
Basically after you start the project you will have to do the follwing, in order to import the .lib:
In the project settings, look for Linker Options, additional include files and add your .lib file in that list (make sure to include the fully qualified path if the file doesn't reside in the project folder or in the windows folder). The next thing to do is to use #import "file_name.lib" in the header for you assembly. Doing that will make the content of the .lib accesible to your project and then you'll be able to start writing the wrapper functions. You don't have to write wrappers for all the functions in the .lib; only for those that you will be using. The part that will be a little more complex will be data marshalling between the native api and the managed assembly, but there's a ton of documentation out there on how to accomplish that.
Good luck!

hi to all
i created a listview item and wanted to load image on background
could somebody tell me how to do it
very very thx

The .NET listview control doesn't have a property to set its background
image. This can be done using the code.
look at this link to view code

Thanks

Is this for the WinForms DataGridControl or the WebForms one? This is important because the two aren't quite identical...
I had to deal with the same problem a while back but all you have to do is extend some classes. There are plenty of examples out there on how to do that. Here's a CP link. http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/noogenwinforms.asp.
Have fun!

Hello,
I have a C# project with a Microsoft Access Database and a Crystal Reports file. I've put the database in the Debug directory, so that after creating the setup, the program finds the database in the curent directory. The problem is with the report file. So, after creating and installing the setup, the report loads, but the fields from the report are empty (the fields are the database columns). So my guess is that after the setup, the report file doesn't find the database anymore. where can i change the path to the database (but not in the report wizard, somewhere in the code). Or maybe someone had already this problem and knows the solution.
Thanks in advance!

I have to code a program so that I after entered an URL of the web-service, if it's correct, methods that that web-service supplies will appear with parameters they require, and then I can invoke a method.
I remember that there is an article focus on my problem but I can not find it.
Anyone help me with that!?

All you have to do is visit the URL of the webservice (ie localhost/WebServices/WebService.asmx) and you'll see a list of available methods for that web service. Then if you follow a link to one of the methods, you'll see a description of the web service.

hi,
i'm using Component One TrueDBGrid in my form.
one of the columns is the "Amount" field. ItShould allow users to enter only integers or float type. But if he attempts to enter characters, error provider should be shown..this will be done in RowColChange event of the grid...so he shuld not be able to enter any characters or special characters..
Please tell me how i'll do this...i tried using the EditMask property of the grid i.e.
tdbgridOnewayReturn.Splits[0].DisplayColumn[3].DataColumn.EditMask = "0000000.00";
but this doesn't take decimal..if i enter 0000332.99, then it saves as 3329900..which is not correct.
But if i use NumberFormat property of the grid :
tdbgridOnewayReturn.Splits[0].DisplayColumns[3].DataColumn.NumberFormat = "Fixed";
then,the user can also enter characters..which is not correct..
please do tell me how i'll resolve this problem....
thanx ..

Hello,
I have just started to use C#, I have to make a User Preferences Dialog box like the 'Options' dialog in the VS.NET IDE, I have been searching online but (may be I am using wrong keywords for it) have not found any tutorials...
second problem is that I have a form that has two parts, 1. Main Part, 2. Sub Part, and I want the sub-part to appear only if the check box 'Show Sub Part' is checked, otherwise it should remain hidden...
Any help would be much appreciated (I'd be grateful if it's a link to some tutorial that deals with something like this)
Peace...

Those sort of UI components do not exist in VS, they are custom written. So, you'll need to find a component that does it, not a tutorial showing you how to do it.

Put a control on the edge of the area you want to hide, and use the Width property of your form to show/hide it based on the position of this control. A panel or something, maybe a label with no text ? It's a place holder. Then you need to also make your form a fixed size so the user does not maximise it.

You can create child forms and show them as modeless dialogs, and then you can set their visible propertly.

hmm, that sure helps...
and hey!, instead of writing a new control for the first problem, why can't I use the same approach i.e. making several penals and show/hide appro

Yes, a tree on the right and a lot of panels that you show and hide would work just fine. I'd just be inclined to wrap that in a control, and then create the panels as user controls, if it was me.

Ummm... Okay... I'll put that in a control
Thanks for your help, it was great...

ok.. i have a function and it looks like this..
public static void test(ListBox lst,string tablename)
{
string myConn = "Server=(local);Integrated security=SSPI;database=halkdanis";
string str = "SELECT * FROM '"+tablename+"'";
SqlDataAdapter dataAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter(str,myConn);
DataSet dt = new DataSet();
DataAdapter.Fill(dt,tablename); // here it says error
DataTable dtb = dt.Tables[0];
foreach(DataRow dtr in dtb.Rows)
{
lst.Items.Add(dtr["username"]);
}
}
as u can see, i want to get data from mssql, and put the usernames in a listbox and i want to use this function several times depends on tablenames but it gives error at:
DataAdapter.Fill(dt,tablename) ;
i guess its coz of `"` char or dunno what is it..
any help would be great..
thx.
good coding..
god is a coder..

Don't enclose the table name in single quotes.
Better yet, use parameters:
string str = "Select * from @table";<br />
SqlDataAdapter dataAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter(str,myConn);<br />
dataAdapter.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@table", tablename);<br />
DataSet dt = new DataSet();<br />
dataAdapter.SelectCommand.Connection.Open();
DataAdapter.Fill(dt,tablename);
...<br />
Since you are just copying one colum value to a listbox, theis would be much more effieciently done with an SqlDataReader, and the select commnd should only ask for the one column:
string str = "Select [username] from @table";<br />
SqlConnection myConn + new SqlConnection("Server=(local);Integrated security=SSPI;database=halkdanis");<br />
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(str,myConn);<br />
cmd.Parameters.Add("@table",tablename);<br />
myConn.Open();<br />
SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();<br />
try<br />
{<br />
while(reader.Read()) <br />
{<br />
lst.Add(reader.GetString(0));
}<br />
}<br />
finally<br />
{<br />
reader.Close();
myConn.Close();
}
This is much faster, and consumes much less working memory. It also transfers much less data 'over the wire' if the server is on a different box.

this is still not working...
string str = "Select [username] from @table";
SqlConnection myConn = new SqlConnection("Server=(local);Integrated security=SSPI;database=halkdanis");
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(str,myConn);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@table",tablename);
myConn.Open();
SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader(); // here it sais error
try
{
while(reader.Read())
{
lst.Items.Add(reader.GetString(0)); //since we only asked for one colume, just get string from col 0
}
}
finally
{
reader.Close();//close reader
myConn.Close();//close connection
}
and i also tried myStyle with parameters..
string str = "Select * from @table";
SqlDataAdapter dataAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter(str,myConn);
dataAdapter.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@table", tablename);
gives the same error
DataAdapter.Fill(dt,tablename); // error here..
