With low baudrates and very high quality cables you can get a few thousand feet even in industrial locations with severe electric noise problems. IIRC you need to use optical isolators and powered signal boosters to do that though.

It's been so long since I've done any serial port work, I can hardly remember anything!

i have an application which takes a scanned image from a scanneer but this application stores this image in a size in which the scanner is configured ,, what if i want to crob (Resize)this image through my application before storing the image ? any idea ?
thanks in advance
hello

How this is done depends on the library that you're using to get the image from the scanner. In an appication that's used around here, the previewed image is displayed, then the user is required to draw a box around the document before the final scan is made.

Hi,
I'm interested in tracing .NET apps.
For a given assembly, that means I want to get a log containing all method calls/returns with parameter and return values, and exceptions.
I know about some tools like SpeedTrace.
My questions are:
1. are there any other tools?
2. can the Visual Studio Team profiler do this?
3. how would this be implemented, (using the profiler api? what about other ways?)
Thanks!

AFAIK, there is nothing that will log all calls made in your application, logging all the parameters and return values. You'll have to instrument your code on the functions you want yourself. Come to think of it, there are so many calls going on in your code and in the framework itself that it would probably slow down your app to about 1/10th of it's normal running speed if this were done.

Thanks for the reply!
Well there is the possibility of a .NET CLR profiler (many exist) that use the ICorProfiler (or whatever) interfaces.
They CAN log all calls etc. etc., and supposedly they don't slow the application down THAT much.
But:
1. They are expensive.
2. It's not easy to write one, because of the nature of the Interfaces (I don't like COM).
As for the performance issues, in my opinion most of the calls in a Windows Forms application are not interesting - I don't really care about constructors/destructors/event handlers/etc of GUI objects. I just want to log MY methods. So that wouldn't slow down too much, especially if the logging code does the minimum required.
So my question was, does such a tool exist.
(I'm asking this because I'm interested in writing one.)

I have a strange little problem with a bound datgridview. The DGV is on an unbound form but is itself bound to a bindingsource which is in turn bound to a bindinglist(of T) which encapsulates a list of business objects (with me so far.) Ok so when the user clicks an empty row in the DGV the addingnew event is fired immediately - kind of odd behaviour that I thought. The user then types some text into the new rows first field. When I check the contents of the bindinglist a new object has indeed been added but does not contain the text that was typed; in short it is completely blank. If you then reload the form move to the blank row added previously and enter the text again then the empty object in the binding list is correctly updated.
I hope you have all been able to follow this explanation and I hope even more that someone can explain what is going on.

Actually I have now solved this - at about two in the morning, I worked it out.
Calling endedit on the bindingsource component doesn't (for reasons best known to MS,) pass through to the DGV that's bound to it. So to make my code work correctly I have to call endEdit on the DGV first and then call endEdit on the bindingsource. I call this very strange behaviour, but at least now I can move on.

When I launch application from IDE or from debug folder, it works well, I mean ThreadAbortException is processed as expected. But when I run the the same application from Release folder, it doesn't catch this exception and always throws an unhandled exception ThreadAbortException. How can I get rid of this bothering problem? Thank's in advance.

You need to find the code where the exception happens and catch it there.

You cannot catch a ThreadAbortException. While your catch{}-Block is executed, ThreadAbortExceptions just re-throw themselves after the catch block. If you Abort a thread, it's really going to terminate. Don't use Thread.Abort to send signals to other threads, you can never know where the thread was when it is aborted and might leave your application in an inconsistent state.

Hi,
Just to make sure, Have you added the class library project in the project which you are coding on right now ? If yes please remove that project (Dll project from new one)

hi can any body tellme what is the
difference between (int) data type and Int32 data type ,, what is the usage for both types
Uint16 Ctime = 20;
Uint16 b =Convert.ToUInt16(Ctime - 1);
Uint16 b =(Uint16)Ctime - 1;// this code does not work but why what is the difference between these two approaches
hello

Normally int is equal to Int32, but from what I have read, int is actually an Int64 when running an x64 edition of Windows. You should be carefull when developing applications that both need to run on x64 as well as x86.

Where have you read that?
According to the documentation[^] the int data type is an alias for the System.Int32 data type. A 32 bit integer should be a 32 bit integer even in x64, right?
