That looks like it covers most of what I want, there doesn't appear to be a way to set the app to always read/write/display in a TZ other than the system default. The number of places where I'm using date/times is small enough that it's not a prohibitive change to hardcode them seperately, but I prefer not to do so whenever possible.

Thanks, I'm allready solve this problem: I used "http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/UserSamples/Download.aspx?SampleGuid=FCBA7FC5-666E-4EB0-863F-0045B0C79EC7" SerialStream Class, but I'll see your classes too.

hi,
I am trying to display status of the application using ToolStripStatusLabel.
it works fine but the problem is if the status message is longer than the length of the label itself then it does not display the status message info.
will really appreciate your help.

Features not supported in .Net Compact Framework
Being a subset of .Net Framework, not all features are supported by .Net Compact Framework. Following are some key features that are missing in compact framework.
[Reference 2]
1. ASP .Net: Primarily being a rich client platform, it doesn’t provide any ASP .Net support.
2. Assemblies and GAC: There is no support for multimodule assemblies.
3. COM Interoperability: Even though interoperability with COM objects is not supported, there are other ways of accessing a COM object. Platform Invoke method can be used to call native DLLs which in turn can access COM DLLs.
4. Asynchronous Delegates: Not supported.
5. Reflection: No support for System.Reflection.Emit namespace.
6. XML Web Services: Developers cannot host web services under .Net Compact Framework.
7. Remoting: Cannot develop Remoting applications.
8. Printing: No support for printing functionalities.
9. GDI+: Advance GDI support is missing in Compact Framework.
10. XML: XML Schema validations and XPath are not supported.

my dataTable has columns ID and Name
in my datagrid i have hidden Column Id and only display Column Name
code in C#
table.Columns["Id"].ColumnMapping =MappingType.Hidden;
datagrid.DataSource =table;
how can i access my Column id
i have tried
DataTable tb =(DataTable)DataGrid.DataSource;
DataRow row =dt.Rows[0];
decimal id =(decimal)row[1].ToString();
olny get errors
thanks
regards paula

This is because row[1].ToString(); return a string which cannot be cast to decimal. If the column is of type decimal then try decimal id =(decimal)row[1]; or even better (as it works with any numerical values) decimal id =Convert.ToDecimal(row[1]);
And in future please post the error message you get (and exactly where it occurs).

I have Header User control (which contains ASP DropDownList with AutoPostBack Property True) and WebForm1.aspx page in my application. Header1.ascx user control embedded with WebForm1.aspx page. Now if I choose the items in DropDownList which is in Header1.ascx the WebForm1.aspx page load event fires first and then the Header1.ascx Page load event fires. But I am assigning session value in Header1.ascx page. So all I want is the header1.ascx page load should fire first then the webform1 page load event or else the before the webform1 page load event get fires I want to assign the value to the session. How do I resolve this?
In Header1.ascx page load event I have write the following:
If (IspostBack)
//assigning session value
DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged event
//assigning session value

Hi Karthi,
Change private to public (private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) to public void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)). On webpage page_load event create an instance for your control(webusercontrol1 wc = new webusercontrol1()) and we can fire the usercontrol page_load event by using the instance variable (wc.Page_load(sender, e)). Let me know your comments if you have any queries in this code.
Thanks
Warm Regards

I'm working on WSe 2.0 and while calling some function say CreateApplication, I'm receiving following error.
System.Exception was unhandled
Message="WSE104: An asynchronous callback raised an exception."

Inner exception says:

I'm using win 2k3 server with SP1 installed and .NET 2.0 to call the method. Do anybody have any idea what could be the possible reason. I've done lot of search on net and applied all solutions like increasing execution time and other time spans. But I'm still facing the same error. Also the error occurs only when I call the function from other machine. On the same machine if i execute the same code it works without any error. Can anybody help me out in this case?
Really there is no material available on net.

i have project about image processing. I have most of them but at the end i will show two images. One of the image is 5 mbyte jpeg and i dont want to refresh it, and other image contains only lines about the first images. i search most the image processing project.
At the end i will explain from another sight. I will use two image box layer. One of them shows the image which has very big file size. And other image box works as transparent image box. This image box contains only lines, and i will refresh it very frequently.
I try different approach to this problem but it always flickiring because of the image size is very big when it is opened in the ram area.
Is there anybody help me :    ;P;)  
thanks

the question is, how can i create a transparent image box ?

Out of sheer curiosity I have a quick question relating to C# performance. I have the two following methods:
public static string VerboseProgrammingMethod()
{
System.Guid g = Guid.NewGuid();
string s = g.ToString();
string f = s.Substring(0,4);
return f;
}
public static string OneLineProgrammingMethod()
{
return Guid.NewGuid().ToString().Substring(0, 4);
}
As you can see both of them will generate exactly the same output as they essentially perform the same functions. The question is is one of them quicker/less memory intensive than the other?
I am under the impression that it doesnt make any difference whatsoever, but I would be grateful if somebody could confirm this
|

run an app called ildasm from the VSNet command prompt and open your assembly with both methods in.
You should see that the generated IL is exactly the same.
|
|
|
|
|
The first methods creates two strings(s,f) and it should be more memory consuming.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm afraid that's not true, since the resulting IL is identical.
Regards,
mav

The two strings are created in both codes. The only difference is that the references to the strings are declared as variables in one code, while in the other code the compiler will create the references itself to handle the strings.

Like the others say, both are the same. #1 is must easier to debug though, and should allways be used (for clarity too). Make a habit of it. We are proffesionals, not script kiddie/wannabe hackers
NOTE: That saying, I still take the 'short' route sometimes 
xacc.ide-0.1.1.4 - now with LSharp integration and scripting :)

I totally agree with your professionals vs script kiddie comment, but on occasion it is sometimes necessary to make sacrifices for performance.
As suggested by Jamie4C I created the following class library and ran it through ILDasm
public class Class1
{
public static string VerboseProgrammingMethod()
{
System.Guid g = Guid.NewGuid();
string s = g.ToString();
string f = s.Substring(0,4);
return f;
}
public static string OneLineProgrammingMethod()
{
return Guid.NewGuid().ToString().Substring(0, 4);
}
}
}
Now in theory the IL code for these two functions should be exactly the same, interestingly there are differences. I am no IL expert so this might be a red herring, but here is the IL code:
.method public hidebysig static string VerboseProgrammingMethod() cil managed
{
.maxstack 3
.locals init ([0] valuetype [mscorlib]System.Guid g,
[1] string s,
[2] string f,
[3] string CS$00000003$00000000)

Is this the debug or the release build? There shouldn't be any differences in the release build. The debug build will contain some differences which is why the first version of the code is easier to debug (the compiler doesn't perform so many optimisations in debug builds)

After a lot of pain I managed to get the Windows Debugger hooked up to a process containing these two methods (using the MethodImpl attribute to suppress inlining), and dump the JITted code. Here's the result:
OneLineProgrammingMethod:
sub esp,0x10
xor eax,eax
mov [esp],eax
mov [esp+0x4],eax
mov [esp+0x8],eax
mov [esp+0xc],eax
lea ecx,[esp]
call mscorlib_79990000+0x35d28 (799c5d28)
push 0x0
lea ecx,[esp+0x4]
mov edx,[01c415d0]
call mscorlib_79990000+0x35de0 (799c5de0)
push 0x4
mov ecx,eax
xor edx,edx
cmp [ecx],ecx
call mscorlib_79990000+0x6b20 (79996b20)
add esp,0x10
ret VerboseProgrammingMethod:
sub esp,0x10
xor eax,eax
mov [esp],eax
mov [esp+0x4],eax
mov [esp+0x8],eax
mov [esp+0xc],eax
lea ecx,[esp]
call dword ptr [mscorlib_79990000+0x234a08 (79bc4a08)]
push 0x0
lea ecx,[esp+0x4]
mov edx,[01c415d0]
call dword ptr [mscorlib_79990000+0x234a28 (79bc4a28)]
push 0x4
mov ecx,eax
xor edx,edx
cmp [ecx],ecx
call mscorlib_79990000+0x6b20 (79996b20)
add esp,0x10
ret The only difference is that for some reason the JIT compiler has decided to call through a table for the verbose method - the functions called are exactly the same.
I'm actually surprised - I was expecting the IL to be different since the C# compiler does very little optimisation but I wasn't expecting a difference in the JITted code.
Nevertheless you should normally forget about micro-optimisations like this and concentrate on the areas that will have the biggest impact.

In this example, I agree it is an "optimisation" that will save nano seconds if that.
That being said, if the methods were dealing with much larger objects it could potentially be something worth considering.
