How to use common files on source code level ?

Hi everybody,

I want to use common source files (my toolbox) in different projects without creating a library. How can I add this sourcefile, to my project, placed in a common files folder, "by reference" an not as a copy of it ? The IDE always copies the selected file to the project folder.

I did't found an option to do this ?

thanks in advance

Frank

The Link file option does the trick. When you add the common source files via "Add Existing Items", don't click the Open button in the "Add Existing Item" dialog. There is a tiny control to the right of the "Open" button, which when clicked, opens a context menu with the "Link File" option.

Finalizer problem

Hello,

I have an application which has some global resources. I use some system resources in these classes. The finalizer is called when the application is closed.

The problem is that a part of the .NET framework (System.Net.Sockets) gets disposed before my object is disposed. How do I make sure that my object is finalized before the system resources?

Hi!

I suggest you don't rely on a certain order of finalization (which is ~~almost~~ always a bad idea) but rather implement IDisposable and perform your cleanup in Dispose().

That's not possible. In fact, members of an object might get finalized before the object itself.

Publish COM class from inside a WindowsForms application?

Hi community!

I'd be happy if someone could give me some input on an idea I've been juggling with for some time:

I've got a single instance WindowsForms application (.NET 1.1) that's been working fine for quite some time now.
Now I'd have to make some of the functionality available for COM clients, but I can't seem to figure out how to start.

I know how to create a class library with COM visible classes, but instances of these classes will be created inside the calling process, so I can't call methods in my application to show some dialogs, for example.

As far as the idea has evolved, I'd have to make my application an out-of-process COM server, but I'm afraid I don't know how to achieve this.
Any input would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
mav

Communicating with Macromedia Flash in .Net

Hi guys;

I have a flash object on a form and I have added a Class to my app.
I want to call the SetVariable() method of the flash object from the class and get some info from the flash obj.
there is a FScommand related to the flash obj when the SetVariable() is called flash transfers the data to the FScommand event of the flash obj inside my form.

Its all fine when I use the SetVariable() method from inside the form but when I call it from the class it just passes the command and nothing happens.

What should I do to get the FScommand event to work from the Class I have.

PLEASE HELP ITS VERY URGENT.

Thanks

Convert int to int[ ]?

I am using a library built by some other person. It has various arguments......

The below mentioned function had been implemented by someone in .NET and I am using that library:

list(java.lang.String userName, java.lang.String password,java.lang.String role, java.lang.String langpref,int parentid,int[] orderId,int[] resellerId,int[] customerId, boolean showChildOrders,java.lang.String[] domainType,java.lang.String[] currentStatus,java.lang.String description,java.lang.String creationDTRangStart,
java.lang.String creationDTRangEnd,java.lang.String endTimeRangStart,java.lang.String endTimeRangEnd,
int numOfRecordPerPage,int pageNum,java.lang.String[] orderBy)

The problem is that I have only one reseller ID that is 40...
when I provide the seventh argument as 40, then I get error as:

Argument '7': cannot convert from 'int' to 'int[]'

Plz suggest any way to convert int to int[]

Thanks,

Just wrap the int in an array.
Like this

int []arr = new int[] {resellerID};

Please format your code snippets using PRE and CODE blocks. It makes it easier for people to help you.

The problem is that client[] cl=new client[5]; merely creates an array of 5 references to client objects. It does NOT create 5 client objects. So, before you do anything at all with your array, you should do

for(int i = 0; i < cl.Length; i++)
{
    cl[i] = new client();
}

Typically, this code should go in the ctor of the class which contains the array, in this case, listen.

Cheers,
Vikram.

well here is the description of my problem
I have a component in which all the methods are static let
the skeleton is like below

public Class Component
{
.............
.........
.......

public static void St_F1(--,--,--)
{
--- -
---
--
}

public static void St_F2(--,--,--)
{
--- -
---
--
}

public static void St_F3(--,--)
{
--- -
---
--
}

public static void St_F4(--)
{
--- -
---
--
}

}

//////////////////
now these functions are called in other class MyClass in
the delegate MyDlg that is called when the Capture event
occurs
public Class MyClass
{
----
----
private Scanner myobj=new Scanner();

myobj.Capture+=new CaptureEventHandler(MyDlg);

private void MyDlg(---,--,---)
{
Componet.St_F4(--);

Componet.St_F1(--,--,---);

if(myobj.id==1)
Componet.St_F3(---,--);

if(myobj.id==2)
Componet.St_F2(--,--);

}

}

////////////////////////

Now i make 2 objects of MyClass each of them has a unique

value of myobj.id
MyClass ClassObj1=new MyClass();
MyClass ClassObj2=new MyClass();

Now both of these instances of the MyClass have to call
event myobj.Capture+=new CaptureEventHandler(MyDlg);
implicitly nad may be event occurs from both objects at a time i want to make the call to the each Static Function called in the body of MyDlg synchronized. So as Only one object may call the Static function at a time. How to achieve this. Plz help Me

Thnx in Advance

Does locking/Monitor.Enter(), Monitor.Exit()[^] on a static object solve your problem?

public class Component
{
   private static object syncObject = new object();

   public static void ST_F1()
   {
        lock(syncObject)
        {
            ...
        }
    }

   public static void ST_F2()
   {
        lock(syncObject)
        {
            ...
        }
    }
}

Actually i forgot to mention one more thing , The component class is only a sketch to understand , in real i m using these static function form a dll named Component. for which i dont have acess to implementation code of these Static function.i m just using the functionality.
So if there is any other possibility plz let me know.
Thnx

You can create a static object in the event handler class instead.

Something like

class XYZ
{
   static object syncObject = new object();
   void SomeMethod()
   {
      abc.SomeEvent += new SomeEvent(SomeEventHandler);
   }

   void SomeEventHandler(...)
   {
       lock(syncObject)
       {
          Component.Method1();
           ...
       }
    }
}

Well!
First of all thnx for Reply. Ok i m already calling these functions in the delegate MyDlg that is called whenevr Capture event occurs then how can i add an other event handler and call these functions. may i do this as below

myobj.Capture+=new CaptureEventHandler(MyDlg);
static object syncObject = new object();
private void MyDlg(---,--,---)
{
lock(syncobject);
Componet.St_F4(--);
lock(syncobject);
Componet.St_F1(--,--,---);

if(myobj.id==1)
lock(syncobject);
Componet.St_F3(---,--);

if(myobj.id==2)
lock(syncobject)
Componet.St_F2(--,--);

}

If you lock each function call, then at any point in time, only one thread could be executing a function. Which is what you want, so yes, it works. But there is a difference between the behavior of

private void MyDlg(---,--,---)
{
  lock(syncObject)
  {
   Componet.St_F4(--);
   Componet.St_F1(--,--,---);
    Componet.St_F3(---,--);
   }
}

and your code. The code above makes sure that at one point, only one thread can execute the whole sequence of functions (F4, F1, F3...). So if you have two threads, they will run like

Thread1
-------
Component.ST_F4
Component.ST_F3
Component.ST_F1

Thread2
-------
Component.ST_F4
Component.ST_F3
Component.ST_F1

With your code, the behaviour *could* be

Thread1
-------
Component.ST_F4

Thread2
-------
Component.ST_F4

Thread1
-------
Component.ST_F3
Component.ST_F1

Thread2
--------
Component.ST_F3
Component.ST_F1

Or in any order. If you're fine with that, go ahead.

Senthil

Thnx for reply!
I m almost very near to my solution. Ok What i want is that two threads could have acess to static functions at one time but these function should be different. that means let thread t1,t2 may have acess to static function Componet.St_F4(--);
Componet.St_F1(--,--,---); respectively. that is
t1---->Componet.St_F4(--);
t2--->Componet.St_F1(--,--,---);
is it so as i did b4. or how to achieve this

Is this achievable using the .net controls? If not, how can I make this
