What do you mean by "unit tests for interfaces"?

Interfaces, by their very nature, will not have concrete implementations - so what are you going to test?

great answer. I am not sure if the topic is user interface or interfaces. Wow it is easy to get it confusing.

I am assuming you are discussing the unit testing of the user interface of an application web or winform. There are open source and commercial products which address this however they are not as complete as one would hope. For the last two years I have been using the MVP pattern which allows me to provide a richer level of unit testing for the controls on the user interface.

Previous to this I used the MVC pattern which provides much of the same benifits. I have used the open source asp.net and win forms unit testing tools but they are difficult to get the level of results I was looking for.

I'm working with two dataSets, one I used the VSC#Express wizards and editors to make the tables, tableAdapter, and bindingSet, and the other i just used the wizard to make the dataset, and am making my own tables via code. The second uses no table adapter or binding set. The first will save it's data to disk when the program exits, while the second doesn't. With the second, I am calling AcceptChanges() on the dataSet each time I change a table or row, and while the program is running i can retrieve the data just fine. But I can't get it back next time i run the program. Any help would be appreciated.

Depends on if the exe(s) are .NET assemblies. ILMerge will allow you to merge any .NET assembly into one assembly.

Speech Recognition problem once using Windows Vista?

Khoramdin3-Apr-07 11:25

Hello everyone,

I have added Speech Recognition to an Windows Application and it works just fine when I run the Windows Application on Windows XP Operating System. The very same Windows Application faces a problem when it is run on Windows Vista since once I enable the Speech Recognition on my Windows Applications, it automatically turns ON the Speech Recognistion on the Windows Visa.

This means the commands are both used to run action in my application at the same time with Windows Vista grabbing the same command to run other stuff.

I was wondering is anyone has experinced anything like this or if there is any way to simply switch off the speech recognition fed into Windows Vista command center without disabling the speech recognition in my Windows Application?

Thank you very much and have a great day.

There is a Vista forum. Your question does not relate to C#. Please post it only in the forum where it belongs. This seems more lounge to me than anything, to be honest.

Hello Christian,

Thanx for the respond and as always I am grateful for all the help that I get from you guys. You are absolutely correct when you say this may be an issue related to Windows Vista. But the button line is that we are all trying to create Windows Applications using C# which can work regardless of the Operating System.

I simply thought to share my experience with the rest of you guys and see if you have experience similar problem. After all this could be something many people whom have taken advantage of Speech Recognition are going to face once Windows Vista is widely used.

As always, thank you very much for your time and have a great day.

How to get the row number from the DataTable.Row.Find() method?

joaquimc3-Apr-07 9:52

3-Apr-07 9:52

Hello,

I'm new to C# development and i'm stucked with one problem with the DataTable.Row.Find() method:

I have a DataSet called: 'MinhaTabela', and a DataTable called: 'Cpostais'.
This DataTable has 2 columns: 'Cpostal', and 'Localidade'.

I wrote the following code to find a record on the DataTable:

<br />
// Defining the key         <br />
CPostais.PrimaryKey = new DataColumn[] { CPostais.Columns["cpostal"] };<br />
<br />
// Use that key to search the record with the field 'Cpostal' equal to '3000-001'<br />
DataRow RegistoEncontrado = CPostais.Rows.Find("3000-001");<br />
<br />
// If the row was found<br />
if (RegistoEncontrado != null)<br />
{<br />
   // Now my problem:<br />
   // The following line of code dont work, <br />
   // because the DataRow object doesn't have a 'ActualRow' property<br />
   // but, what is the property where i can read that value?<br />
   int ROW_NUMBER = RegistoEncontrado.ActualRow; <br />
      <br />
   // If i found the row number then i would do this...<br />
   Grid2.CurrentCell = Grid2.Rows[ROW_NUMBER].Cells["localidade"];<br />
   Grid2.BeginEdit(false);<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
else<br />
<br />
// Row not found<br />
{<br />
   MessageBox.Show("Record not found...");<br />
}<br />

Does anyone knows how to get the row number after i find the respective record?

TIA,
Joaqui,

Can't you just get the cell from the row?

Grid2.CurrentCell = RegistoEncontrado.Cells["localidade"];

Sorry Guffa, i didn't saw your reply earlier.

No, the Row RegistoEncontrado doesn't have a Cells property, but thank you anyway.

Hi all,
I use this code to fill the DataGridView but this code has error in the Underlined line
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DataSet1TableAdapters.ExpParamsTA ExpParamsTA= new Datam.DataSet1TableAdapters.ExpParamsTA();
ExpParamsTA.Fill(DataSet1.ExpParamsDataTable);
BindingSource Exp = new BindingSource(DataSet1, "ExpParams");
dataGridView1.DataSource = Exp;
}
Please help me
Thanks in advance

You only fill a dataset, it will populate the table. I will assume only one table is returned.
So something like:
ExpParamsTA.Fill(DataSet1);
DataGridView1.DataSource = DataSet1.Tables[0].DefaultView;

Hope that helps.

Stopping threads without Thread.Abort()

JHubSharp3-Apr-07 9:36

3-Apr-07 9:36

I'm pretty new to multithreaded code. I understand a lot of the concepts (or think I do), but I'm extremely green in applying them.

That being said, I have a webservice that is starting three threads. These threads could finish anywhere from a few minutes to a day depending on how much data is being processed from an external DB. The situation I'm currently experiencing is that if one thread fails, I'd like to stop the other two threads in order to save resources.

Initially I was using Thread.Abort(), but I quickly realized that when catching the ThreadAbortException and aborting the other threads, that would spawn additional exceptions, which would require a new try/catch block, etc. I started googling and saw more...impolite Smile | :)

things said about Thread.Abort() and how it's hard to determine when the exception will even be thrown.

So, I'm trying to find a way to stop my threads without using Thread.Abort. I've seen people mention using a flag or Mutex to signal the threads to stop, but naturally that means all my methods need to check for this flag in many places, and I don't see a clean way to do that. Most examples I see will do something like:

(while !stopThread)
{
// do some work
}

which is very convenient of them. How is this relevant when the work is a one-time thing, not something you'd loop through? Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks for any and all help. Cool | :cool:

Hmm, so there's no loop in your threads? Each thread just has a sequence of steps that is performed? Could you choose some strategic places within those steps to check to see if all is well?

if(everythingOk)
{
    DoSomething();
}
 
if(everythingOk)
{
    DoSomethingElse();
}
 
// etc...

Kind of cumbersome, but it's the only way I can think of offhand for terminating a loopless thread "naturally."

Thanks for such instant reply.

I did this, -

But still its not transparent.
