Holla,
I got a little problem here: I am developing this "little helper" under VS2003 and .NET1.1. I want to change the application's size in code (implementing a "show some/show all" toggle that also creates/disposes an "advanced options"-panel.)
I KNOW that I did this before, but I cannot figure out while it wont work now:
I currently have a button and in the click-handler I change the forms size as follows:
this.Size = new Size(300,400); // or
this.Width = 300;
this.Height = 400;
// and afterward, I get rid of the advanced panel.
doSomePanelHidingStuff();
According to the MSDN, that should be all thats necessary. When this didnt work, I tried some combinations of invalidating and refreshing the form, to no avail. I added the "refreshing" to a resize-event handler.
Whatever I do, the form's size wont change.
Any hints?
Cheers,
Sebastian

Perhaps you have setted a maximum size for your form.
The attempt to change the forms size to a value larger than the one found in MaximumSize will fail...

Actually, the size I am trying to change to varies.
No max-size, no min-size. The form wouldnt make much sense at a low-size, so I am calculating the new sizes.
If I switch from the "normal" form to the "advanced" form, the new size is oldsize + oldsize / 2, rounded to the next integer that is a multiple of three.
To scale down, the new size is the old size * 2/3, rounded to the next even integer.
That size calculation is independant of the size setting and I checked the result via stdout and debugger. The size is set correctly, but the form wont refresh to the new size.
Cheers,
Sebastian

Usualy a managed form should change it's size when the width and/or heigth is changed...
But on special cases this operation is canceled :
- as I said in my initial post, if the form's MaximumSize is setted to a value smaller than the new size
- if you override the form's WndProc and ignore the WM_RESIZE message
These are possile cases that may stop your correct written code to resize a form.
If none of this applies check you code ... step by step it with the debugger and check if you do the correct thing.

The string class in .Net (just as anyother classes) inherits from object. Object class has a static method ReferenceEquals which takes two parameters and returns true if both are referenced to the same value in the heap.
So in my code below,
<br />
string s1 = "ABC";<br />
string s2 = s1;<br />
<br />
string s3 = "ABC";<br />
string s4 = "ABC";<br />
I was expecting the S3 and S4 to have separate references. I may be answering my own questio here .. but if the string is intered then the second variable is pointed to the memory refernece of the original value. How can I differentiate if the S4 is not an actual refernece to S3?

The thing to remember is that Strings in .NET are immutable--that is, they don't change. So, there is no point in differentiating between references to two identical strings.

One reason might be because "ABC" is interned by the framework. The JIT may do this to save memory, at the cost of getting bitten if you're relying on different strings for multithreading or native interop purposes.
Also, the compiler might be generating code like this:
string __val = "ABC";
string s1 = __val;
string s2 = __val;
The only way to tell for sure is use ILDasm or Reflector to disassemble your code and check out what's going on.

Eventhough this seems like a large overhead as the compiler/runtime would have to check if the string is loaded or not, I'd have expected some documentation for this in the string class.

Doesnt seem to be the case.
And if that were the case, compiler optimization would not even perform the equality check. It'd simply just return 'true'.

I'd check if the string is interned. My guess is it is interned. You can check using string.IsInterned, which will return null if it is not interned (why the framework designers decided to return a string rather than a boolean is beyond me :P)
You might want to read this decent article on .NET strings[^], might be worth your time.

This is from ildasm.. we can see "ABC" is inserted twice
IL_0000: ldstr "ABC"<br />
IL_0005: stloc.0<br />
IL_0006: ldstr "ABC"<br />
IL_000b: stloc.1<br />
IL_000c: ldloc.0<br />
IL_000d: ldloc.1<br />
IL_000e: call bool [mscorlib]System.Object::ReferenceEquals(object, object)<br />
IL_0013: stloc.2<br />
IL_0014: br.s IL_0016<br />

I agree with you that it is because of string interning. However, in this case, there is no way to distinguish if the two objects are different or not. So for the string class, the Equals and ReferenceEquals have no differentiation -- this is little bit frustrating!!

You can clone a string to get a different instance with the same value.
Or if you use Substring, you will also get a different instance of the same string:
object.ReferenceEquals("Hello", "Hello World".Substring(0,5)) will return false!
Why is this frustrating? The runtime creates interned string instances when the method is JITted. This is much faster than creating the string instance everytime the method in run. If you want a new string instance every time, well, then you still can use Clone().

I'm written a crazy simple service in C# and a simple class library that exposes 1 class. We're talking "hello world" simple here.
Here's the wierdness.
I have a reference to the class library from the service, when I attempt to start the service, I get an event log entry saying that it can't find the class library.
Event log record-->
Service cannot be started. System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'SampleClass, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
File name: 'SampleClass, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'
at RemotingTest.TestService.OnStart(String[] args)
at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.ServiceQueuedMainCallback(Object state)
What I've tried.
Create a console app using the same code -> Works
Remove the calls to the class library and start the service -> Works
uninstall the service/reinstall the service and start the service -> Fails.
Copy the class library dll to the windows system32 directory -> Fails.
????
Any ideas? I'm sure that it is something really stupid, but I can't think of it.

I suspect it has to do with security rights.

I forgot all about Filemon...it showed me the error in my ways...., the service was looking for the class library in the obj\debug\ folder instead of the bin\debug folder which is where I put the dll. I still don't know why it didn't work when I put it in the system32 folder.
but at least I'm up and running....for now. <hehe>
thanks all.

I have problems passing parameters from C# application to XSL file and doing a transformation.
My code is below.:
XsltArgumentList xslArg = new XsltArgumentList();
String key = "grandpa/father/son"; // This is the name of node I want pass and gets it value
xslArg.AddParam("xslParam", "", key);
// Create the XslTransform and load the stylesheet.
XslTransform xslt = new XslTransform();
xslt.Load(stylesheet); // xsl stylesheet
XmlUrlResolver xmlUrlResolver = new XmlUrlResolver();
// Output to console.
XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(Console.Out);
// Transform the xml file
xslt.Transform(new XPathDocument(filename), xslArg, writer, xmlUrlResolver);
writer.Close();
----------------
XSL file looks like this
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:param name="xslParam"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<alku><xsl:value-of select="$xslParam"/></alku>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The problem is that node grandpa/father/son is not executed! It's passed to XSL file
but XslTransform classes transsform method does not fetch it's value from xml file.
It only shows the key value in console. Node grandpa/father/son has value in it's
xml file.
So, am I missing something or is there a bug in XsltArgumentList and it's transformation.
Has anyone any ideas what could be wrong?
Cheers!

I have a link on my webpage, when clicked upon it takes the user to a page where the website's home page is added to the favourites. Can someone please tell me where to go and look for this on MSDN. I would like to do it through C#. And also, maybe create a directory in My Favourites, and save the link in this directory.
Regards
