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

Hi!
You'll have to send EM_GETSCROLLPOS to the RichTextBox via P/invoke.
Here's the description on MSDN.

Speech Recognition problem once using Windows Vista?

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

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.
Ben

Stopping threads without Thread.Abort()

JHubSharp3-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."

Hi All,

This is a very simple situation. In VB 6 a label can be specified as transparent background. How to do this in C# Windows Forms.

Thanks

I did this, -

But still its not transparent.

What is your label sitting on?

You could grab the backcolor of that control and set your label's backcolor to the same value ...

Making a BackColor Transparent doesn't make your control transparent. It's a lousy name to use because people just assume that it makes the control, well, transparent. It does NOT do this!! Making your label transparent doesn't show you every behind the label.

What it does is make the label take on the background properties of the parent form it's hosted on. The label will show you the background as it is on the parent form, regardless of what controls are behind the label!

In your example, if you set the form's BackColor property to Red and put a Yellow PictureBox on the form, then add a Label control to the form, directly over the PictureBox, the label will show up as Red, not Yellow!
