This is a C++/CLI forum, your question is off topic here.

As you didn't check "Ignore HTML tags in this message (good for code snippets)" I cannot read all your code, but I suspect that one includes iostream.h and the other includes iostream. iostream.h is not standard C++, the latest Microsoft compiler will reject attempts to use it.

In addition to Christian's reply...

Please post non-managed-c++ questions on the appropriate board.

The "using namespace std;" line...I'll quote from the docs:

"The using directive allows the names in a namespace to be used without the namespace-name as an
explicit qualifier. Of course, the complete, qualified name can still be used to improve
readability."

cout and endl are in the std namespace. Without the using directive you'd have to specify the
namespace:

std::cout << "Hello World!" << std::endl;

Why is deque the only container where pointers and references to the data are not invalidated though iterators could be invalidated?

Bring up the Properties editor. Click on the Event button at the top of the Properties editor window- the button with a lightning bolt as a symbol and the editor will show the events associated with the button

deterministic cleanup in C++/CLI

3-Jul-07 6:42

This Solution to my problem

// Boolean flag used to determine when a character other than a number is entered.
private:
bool nonNumberEntered;

// Handle the KeyDown event to determine the type of character entered into the control.
void textBox1_KeyDown( Object^ /*sender*/, System::Windows::Forms::KeyEventArgs^ e )
{
// Initialize the flag to false.
nonNumberEntered = false;

// Determine whether the keystroke is a number from the top of the keyboard.
if ( e->KeyCode < Keys::D0 || e->KeyCode > Keys::D9 )
{
// Determine whether the keystroke is a number from the keypad.
if ( e->KeyCode < Keys::NumPad0 || e->KeyCode > Keys::NumPad9 )
{
// Determine whether the keystroke is a backspace.
if ( e->KeyCode != Keys::Back )
{
// A non-numerical keystroke was pressed.
// Set the flag to true and evaluate in KeyPress event.
nonNumberEntered = true;
}
}
}
}

// This event occurs after the KeyDown event and can be used to prevent
// characters from entering the control.
void textBox1_KeyPress( Object^ /*sender*/, System::Windows::Forms::KeyPressEventArgs^ e )
{
// Check for the flag being set in the KeyDown event.
if ( nonNumberEntered == true )
{ // Stop the character from being entered into the control since it is non-numerical.
e->Handled = true;
}
}

I tried the following code

StreamWriter^ f = gcnew StreamWriter(L"d:\\listfile.txt");<br />
f->Write(L"begin");

expecting a file containing the string "begin" to be created.

To my surprise, only an empty listfile.txt was created. "begin" was not written.
after a few trials, I realized I must explicitly call f->Close() to get "begin" to be written.

is it true that one of the advantages of C++/CLI over c# is that when an object goes out of scope, there is something called deterministic cleanup to close the object, or am I miseducated?

For std::fstream, I surely don't have to call close() explicitly.

You can use implicitly dereferenced variables. These variables use the Resource Acquistion Is Initialization (RAII) principle to do their clean up. Also, these variables have the same limiitations as automatic variables:

StreamWriter f(L"D:\\listfile.txt");
f.Write(L"begin");
...
// When "f" goes out of scope, it will be deterministically disposed of.

In order to obtain a tracking handle to an implicitly dereferenced variable, you must prefix it with "%".

Whats wrong with my C++ code, it gets me an error.
How to use byte array in C++ by the way?

C# code:

int data_size = 146000;
int data_loop = 4096;
byte[] data_sent= new byte[data_size];
Random rnd = new Random();
rnd.NextBytes(data_sent);

for (int x = 0; x < data_size; x++)
if (data_sent[x] == 0x3f){
data_sent[x] = 0;
}

C++ code:

int data_size = 146000;
int data_loop = 4096;
Byte[] data_sent = gcnew Byte[data_size]; //Gets me error
Random^ myrandom = gcnew Random;
myrandom->NextBytes(data_sent);
for (int x = 0; x < data_size; x++)
if (data_sent[x] == 0x3f){
data_sent[x] = 0;
}

note: the c# is working and compiled but the c++ code stuck me from that error. Confused | :confused:

Network speed detection

Bros,

How to code the network speed detection?
What i mean is i want to detect the upload and download using clickbutton. When I press a button it will show to textbox1 the upload speed and textbox2 the download speed.
example:
TextBox1 = 42 kbps
TextBox = 54 kbps

Is anybody here how to do that? Much better if you can give me some links for basic.

Thanks in advance.

Send some packets of data of certain size (you decide how much data you want to transfer), see how long it takes to go up and come back, then report the results in the textbox.

I see you have lots of Database development questions. Lucky for you there are a massive number of Database Articles here on CodeProject. Use the Navigation mechanisms on the site to find the Database Articles and look through them. I am sure the information you seek is in there.

In addition to led mike's reply, I think it's important to consult the documentation for the
platforms/systems/etc. that you're wanting to develop for.

For example, to connect to SQL Server, you'll probably want to use the SQL Native Client.
Connection string info can be found here: Using Connection String Keywords with SQL Native Client[^]
