Yes ,This can be done using windows Hooks

Hello
I wonder if it is possible to accomplish the following scenario:
1.- I have stored in a database the source code for a simple component.
2.- An application downloads the source code.
3.- The mentioned app makes the downloaded source code to be compiled.
4.- The app then invokes objects from the compiled component.
Can this be done? What are the restrictions?
Thanks a lot in advanced.

Yes, this can be very well done using CodeDOM./ Relection.Emit.

Hello,
I have a problem with my program. I am using .net framework 2.0 and I am mamking some drawings on the form. I have some paths and I need to make union a intersection so I convert the paths to the regions. The problem is - is it possible to convert some region back to the path?
Thanks a lot for your reply

AFAIK, no, it's not possible to convert it back. I don't remember seeing anything that can do the conversion.
A better option would be to create your own class to hold the Path and the Region objects, then just expose them both as Properties, passing the correct one to whatever function you need. You'll also have to supply code to re-convert the Path to a new Region every time there is a change to the Path object.

Thank you,
I have one more question. How is the best way to find the nearest point on the bounderies of the region from a specific point ( mouse click for exemple).
Thanks a lot
|

There's no built-in function to do that, you'd have to write one yourself. You can calculate the point to each line that makes up the region and then return the point with the shortest distance. You can probably build something from this[^] little algorithm.

I'm stuck.
I need to detect if a enumrated type has its FlagsAttribute set. I can't find the proper method/property in the reflection class. Any ideas?
Thanks

You need to use the GetCustomAttributes method of the FieldInfo object. The code would look something like this (untested, modified from production code that looks for a different attribute):
public static bool HasFlagsEnum(Enum value)
{
if (value == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("value");
}
bool hasFlagsAttribute = false;
FieldInfo fieldInfo = value.GetType().GetField(value.ToString());
FlagsAttribute[] attributes =
(FlagsAttribute[])fieldInfo.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(FlagsAttribute), false);
if (attributes != null && attributes.Length > 0)
{
hasFlagsAttribute = true;
}
return hasFlagsAttribute;
}Assuming an enum named Color that has the FlagsAttribute, you would call this function like this:
Color color = Color.Red | Color.Yellow;
if (HasFlagsEnum(color) == true)
{
}This should get you pointed in the right direction.
-----------------------------

It works. Thanks for the pointer.
The VB code for anyone interested:
Private Function HasFlagsAttribute(ByVal Type As System.Type) As Boolean
Return Type.GetCustomAttributes(GetType(FlagsAttribute), False).Length > 0
End Function

 Break your app into modules (assemblies) and get away from the monolithic exe. In short, join the era of modern software development. It's difficult to bill yourself as a 21st century company when using 20th century thinking.

This could be a start, however, if you need help in figuring out how to seperate your application into multiple assemblies while avoiding cross references, then you are missing some core software design knowledge that can't be replaced by reading a few articles.

Mark is right. YOu've got a SERIOUS redesign of your application in front of you. You'll be rewriting about half of your code to do what you want. This should have been a design requirement from Day 1, not after you ship your app!
If you can't see how an n-tier structure gives you the modularity you're looking for, I'm afraid that just reading a couple of articles isn't going to get the point acrossed.
By splitting up your application into seperate classes, such as a Data Layer, you're actually giving yourself the .DLL's you're looking for!

You have but one choice here - It's either do a redesign or you live with the 20MB download.
vladdy77 wrote: There is very little data access in this application as it is basically automating MapPoint with their dispatch system and that's why n-tier architecture with gui/bus/data layer is not very applicable to this project.
You're still missing the point entirely and why Mark was saying this. You have to break this application down into more discrete modules, LIKE a Data Layer, or Business Logic Layer, or this, or that. The whole point is that you MUST modularize this code.

I don't have to. I already know how to break my applications into modular pieces.
vladdy77 wrote: How to have one VS solution and multiple project avoiding cross-referencing between assemblies?
Create a solution and start adding the appropriate project types to it. I don't get what you mean by "avoiding cross-referencing". If you keep code self-contained, that is for instance, a Data Access layer, then there shouldn't be any "cross-referencing" if I'm guessing at your meaning correctly.
If you have a module that calculates a payment schedule, that would be it's own class and could end up in it's own .DLL. DLL's are created on a per-project basis, usually. Now, if you add to that class, another class file that deals with som other financials, then you would end up with 2 classes in the same project, probably called Financials and end up with a Financials.DLL.
