Ah, damn. You reckon if I tried multi threading the xml retrieval it might stop the lag at all?
|
|

You'd have to move the code to another thread to avoid the lag. Check into using the System.Threading.Timer instead. Your code will be called on a background thread using this Timer.

What Timer are you using now? The FrameworkTimer in the DirectX SDK is the fastest in .net...

Hi folks,
Does anyone know of a way I can convert a string into a resource?
Ie, like this?
String sound_file = (myResource);
<do convert here>
spWave.Stream = sound_file;
Basically I need the string to be a properties.resource value...
Thanks, Ben.

You want to add a string into the resources during runtime? That isn't possible because the resources are contained within the static executable.
Why do you need to add a string to your resources?

I dont want to add the string as a resource, but reference the resource from a string.
So if I want to play the resource: Properties.Resources.mysound;, I want the string sent to the function to represent mysound.
|
|
|
|
|
I still don't understand. If you want to play the resource Properties.Resources.mysound, you'll need to convert it to a stream or file and use System.Media.SoundPlayer to play the sound.
You said "I want the string sent to the function to represent mysound". Can you clarify that? What string? What function?

I have an unmanaged C++ DLL which has the following structures,
typedef struct {char str[200]; } MYARRAY1;
typedef struct {MYARRAY1 myarray1struct;} MYARRAY2;
typedef struct {MYARRAY2 myarray1struct[5];} MYARRAY3;
To return MYARRAY2, I used the following entry function,
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) void CallTestArray2( MYARRAY2 *pStruct)
To return MYARRAY3, I used the following entry function,
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) void CallTestArray3( MYARRAY3 *pStruct)
In C#, I declared the following structures,
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct MyArray1
{
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst=200)] public String str;
}
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct MyArray2
{
public MyArray1 tempArray1;
}
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct MyArray3
{
public MyArray2[] tempArray2;
}
I do not have any problem using DLLImport call to C++ DLL to get data in MyArray2, however when I try to get data in MyArray3 with the following code, all data in testArray3 are empty.
MyArray3 testArray3 = new MyArray3();
testArray3.tempArray2 = new MyArray2[ 5 ];
CallTestArray3(ref testArray3);
Any help is appreciated!!!

Underlined should be also marshaled.

MyArray2 is based on MyArray1, and MyArray1 has been marshaled. Is it need for MyArray2[] be marshaled? I tried to marshal as AsAny, but it doesn't work. What do I be marshal as? Thanks.

I am building an application that must take one Dataset table apart and display it in two different DataGridView's along with one additional field from a second table.
I'm iterating through the transactions and building out a DataTable for each set of records. (this part works nicely) Then set my grids as follows:
payView.DataSource = new DataGridView( payData );
refView.DataSource = new DataGridView( refData );
So far so good, everything works...almost. I have one column defined as a DataGridViewCheckboxCell and that column is not bound to any data. The remaining columns ARE bound to my fields in my data tables and all of them are readonly. My DataGridViewCheckboxCell is marked as ReadOnly=false and I even tried marking my DataGridView as ReadOnly=false. All to no avail. If I click on it, the cell never changes value and remains unchecked. Here is my column definition:
this.selected1 = new DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn();
this.selected1.ReadOnly = false;
this.selected1.FlatStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FlatStyle.Flat;
this.selected1.HeaderText = "Sel";
this.selected1.Name = "paymentSelect";
this.selected1.Resizable = System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewTriState.False;
Finally I wanted to highly a cell that fell outside the allowed parameters. The logic works well. The cell is identified and the cell.Style was set to a new highlightedStyle object with a light red background color. However the DataGridView never changes the background painting. The only way I got it to work is by hooking into the RowPrePaintEvent and setting the background color there. Why is it working like this??? Why is this control being so difficult to work with????
Any help in getting the checkbox to function properly would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, well I'm not build the columns in the designer. I'm building them in code.
|
|
|
|
|
The designer writes code, and I showed the working generated code... So it should work too if you type this manually if you prefer that.

Just create a form which inherits from user control, slap your a label, image, and buttons on there and you're good to go. A MessageBox is just a type of form, after all.

What's the proper way of overriding Dispose(bool disposing);  in a UI control? The method is already overridden in the designer generated file in .NET 2.0. I never edit that file manually, so how are you supposed to override it then? Or is the proper way to add stuff to the components field, which gets cleaned up by the Dispose method? Then I have to make the disposable objects IComponent objects, slightly more work then I'd like to do.

// an example of the IDispose pattern
private System.ComponentModel.IContainer components = null;
public void Dispose()
{
this.Dispose(true);
}
protected internal void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
if ( disposing && components != null )
components.Dispose();
base.Dispose(disposing);
}

Yes yes, I'm not a moron. I'm wondering how I'm supposed to override the ALREADY OVERRIDDEN Dispose method present in the designer generated file, without touching that file.
Sorry, I'm not angry.

I answered what you asked.
If the Dispose method is already overriden and not made virtual, then you cannot override it.
|
|
|
|
|
You overlooked the "overriding" part?
My first feeling is too that I can't override without touching the designer file. That would be utterly stupid, and I can't believe that. So there must be a way of hooking into the Dispose... Maybe I should add the disposable part to the components field, at least that works.

Hi guys,
I am a newbie in C# and I need some help. If I open a database connection in my try statement, can I close it in finally. i.e. is finally always executed?
This is what I have; is this a good programming technique?
Please help
public int validateGLAccount(string Number)
{
//bool rt=true;
SqlConnection cnn=null;
SqlCommand cmd=null;
try
{
cnn=new SqlConnection(m_Cnn);
cnn.Open();
if (true)
{
cmd= new SqlCommand("SELECT count(ID) FROM table",cnn);
one = (int)cmd.ExecuteScalar();
if (one==1)
{
return -1;
}
else
{
return 1;
}
}
else
{
return -1;
}
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(this,ex.Message);
}
finally
{
cmd=null;
if(cnn!=null && cnn.State !=ConnectionState.Closed)
{
cnn.Close();
}
cnn=null;
}
return -1;
}

Looks great. Even easier is doing:
using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(m_ConnectionString)) {
}
This is just some c# convenience for try {} finally { connection.Dispose(); }

Yes - the code in finally is always executed.
I'm new myself so won't comment on the code - if it works then it's fine  Worry about perfection in a few months time!
