Shorten a path using an ellipsis...

Does anyone here happen to know of any code that will shorten a path stored in a string?

I have found tons of examples using a StringFormatter that all seem to be centered around drawing the the text using GDI+ but I am not interested in that right now. I don't want to roll my own label control at this point, just try to put a long path into one Smile | :)

I will have to build one myself I guess...

(unless some nice person happens to know where one is by the time I get home Smile | :)

How Disable EvenLog checking...?

Hello,

I've written a reflection app. When I run it on some machines it issues a method invocation error. After some checking I've discovered that the problem is that the Windows EventLog is "full."

But I don't care about the event log and I have zero code that refers to it. How do I tell my app to disregard the eventlog? Is there a global setting somewhere?

Thanks in advance!

Where did you find this little tidbit of information?

All you can do is change the Event Log properties in EventVwr. I don't have any problems with each event log set to "Overwrite events as needed" with a 1024 maximum size for each log.

How to create Managed Extensions Framework 1.1 assembly using VS2005

Hi all,

I have a "Managed Extensions" assembly written in VC++ (Visual Studio 2003 - VS7) that so far was build for .Net framework 1.1 customers.

Since all the other assemblies developers in my project already moved to Visual Studio 2005 (VS8) with .Net framework 2.0 , and they want to reference my assembly as "project reference", I have to upgrade the prj file for Visual Studio 2005.

On the other hand, I need that my assembly will be able to be referenced as "dll reference" for VS7 developers, and will be able to run for .Net framework 1.1 customers.

In the following URL I found the answer for regular (c#) assemblies: http://weblogs.asp.net/israelio/archive/2005/06/08/410811.aspx

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

Adi

i think you need to specify the minimum .NET version 1.1 in the <assemblyname>.config file

but still use vs2003 to compile it.

Hi!

I want to draw a Map for a Webgame (C#, VWD 2005 EE). I draw Lands, units...
But unfortunatly the borders of the String are not "clearly", good, drawn, as you can see at the link of the german csharp forum. There is a picture where you can see what I mean.

http://www.mycsharp.de/wbb2/thread.php?threadid=13557[^]

So I create the Graphics Device.

G_WorldMap = new Bitmap(3500, 2000, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);<br />
          Graphics newBmpGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(G_WorldMap);<br />

So I draw the strings

          // Draw Names and IPC<br />
            foreach (Land land in G_Game.Lands.LandsAL)<br />
            {<br />
                Font font = new Font("Comic Sans MS", 10);<br />
                SizeF stringSize = newBmpGraphics.MeasureString(land.Name, font);<br />
                newBmpGraphics.DrawString(land.Name, font, new SolidBrush(Color.Black),<br />
                    new Point(land.CenterX - (int)(stringSize.Width / 2), land.CenterY - (int)(stringSize.Height / 2)));<br />
<br />
                font = new Font("Courier", 12, FontStyle.Bold);<br />
                stringSize = newBmpGraphics.MeasureString(land.Id.ToString(), font);<br />
<br />
                newBmpGraphics.DrawString(land.Id.ToString(), font, new SolidBrush(Color.Black),<br />
                    new Point(land.CenterX - (int)(stringSize.Width / 2),<br />
                        3 + (int)stringSize.Height + land.CenterY - (int)(stringSize.Height / 2)));<br />
            }<br />

Any ideas ?

Set the graphics objects quality settings before drawing to it: (I used G where you have newBmpGraphics)

//Create new graphics canvas from the bitmap<br />
Graphics G = Graphics.FromImage(bmp);<br />
//set graphics properties for good bitmap rendering<br />
G.PageUnit = GraphicsUnit.Pixel;<br />
G.SmoothingMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.HighQuality;<br />
G.CompositingQuality = CompositingQuality.HighQuality;<br />
G.CompositingMode = CompositingMode.SourceCopy;<br />
G.TextRenderingHint = TextRenderingHint.SingleBitPerPixelGridFit;<br />
G.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.High;

Thx a lot, it is better now.

There is some "interpolation" at borders from the strings and the polygons, which I want to turn off complete.

A new picture is at http://www.mycsharp.de/wbb2/thread.php?postid=72430#post72430[^]

Do you have a link where I can read (good explained) what setting has which effects ? Example ?

Hi I want to develop an Intelligent Agent in .NET environment. I want to know that is there any support for Agent Technology in .NET like Agelets in Java? If not. Then What can be its possible solution? I am not talking about the user interface like MSAgent control.

Thanks for your time

What's your definition of "Agent Technology"?? Jade?
If so, then no, there isn't that I can find. But that won't stop you from writing one anyway.

Yes, something like JADE. What other possiblities are there to solve such problem? If someone do not want to write JADE in .NET.

There are none that I know of. You'd have to write your own "JADE" library for .NET.

Blobs (SQL and VS.NET)

Issue/Requirements:
1. Use an SQL database to store text and MS Word documents
Data Source: Desktop
Initial Catalog (Database Name): BLOB
Table Name: tblBLOB
'Maybe some other columns will be added for later use.
Columns: BLOBID, BLOBName, BLOBDescription, BLOBDocument

2. Use Microsoft Visual Basic .NET to retrieve the information/documents
From Name: Form1.vb
Text Boxes: txtBLOBID, BLOBName, BLOBDescription
Picture Box: BLOBDocument

Sniff | :^)

In the past I used MS Access and its internal forms to display the OLE Objects (MS Word documents) embeded (linked) into the table. However, I would like to start using an SQL Database and use an application to retrieve the BLOB

3. Functionality of the .NET form.
I would like to use the form to (1) retrieve and display a picture of the MS Document. (2) Search the SQL database for documents based on the BLOBDescription and or other fields. (3) Add new documents into the tblBlob. (4) Have basic database functions: NEXT, PREVIOUS, ADD, DELETE buttons.

i Have a majority of this complete (ie, the SQL database, The .NET form, but I just can't get the two to work together to insert a new document, and or view a new document.:->

It's likely that the picturebox control is NOT going to render the word document like the Access Ole contro did. PictureBoxes understand graphics images, not ole documents. You will probably have to use word interop or something similar to render the document...

This post might get better expertise in the SQL/ADO forum...

Why does this happen? what should I do?

You need to increase the trust level for assemblies that load off the network drive. See this[^] link to know how to do that.

Design Question

Andy *M*1-Jan-06 12:33

Andy *M*

1-Jan-06 12:33

I am doing a design where there is a menu of actions that the user can perform. This isn't about the user interface part. It is about the logic part. I've got a 3-teir architecture going and there are classes in the business logic layer that define what actions are available at a particular time. But there is a problem. I've discovered that there are 3 types of action, although there are many more actions than this. Some actions are optional (the user can choose whether or not to take those actions), some actions are mandatory (the user must take that action before a certain point. Before that point they may choose certain other optional actions, but not others), finally, there are potential actions (these are actions that the user has potentially available to them, but they must satisfy some other condition first before they can take that action. Some of those potential actions are optional and some are mandatory).

So far I have an action class. I also have a potential action class, and a mandatory action. The potential action class contains a field which is an action object. The mandatory action class is an abstract base class. The actual actions derive from either the action itself, or the mandatory action class.

What I am trying to do is keep coupling to a minimum, but I'm having problems with it. I also have a controller class that contains a list of the actions, this list is passed to the user interface. They user gets to see all the actions. However, if they pick a potential action where the condition is not met they get a message telling them what they need to do in order to take that action. The action of the potential action is to generate the message.

I don't know if I'm explaining myself very well. I guess that is part of my problem. If I could explain it well, I would understand it enough not to need to ask the question.

Any ideas would be welcome.

So the actions that are mandatory and optional change over time? For example, an action that is optional at one point in time can become mandatory later? Can you model this as a state machine? Each state is responsible for providing a list of actions that are mandatory, optional, etc.

Not exactly, but I think this is probably going in the right direction.

The states are:

* Optional
* Potential, but optional
* Mandatory
* Potential, but mandatory

Potential meaning that a certain condition must be met first. Any potential action can transition to plain optional or mandatory. Certain actions are, by necessity, potential while there is a mandatory action available as the condition to be met is the invokation of the mandatory action.

I will look in to state machines, but I have to admit to not having read much about them. I'll look for some information on it. If you know of a good article to read on the subject I'd be grateful for a recommendation.

Cheers.
