It has gone way past WTF moments for me. I will still moan and bitch about it on my blog (which I'd link to if the server wasn't currently waterlogged and awaiting replacement - later this week hopefully) and I have a good few posts about it when the situation really gets me down.
Justin Perez wrote: Maybe it's an India thing...
Not exclusively, but there are an increasing number of people from India making this type of post which does make it look like they are lazy workshy slackers who want everyone to do their work. But you've also got to look around and see how many Indians are on this site helping out too - those numbers are also increasing.
Some of it does appear to be cultural. I once stopped by a McDonalds in Edinburgh on my way home. It was about 23:30 and they were winding down for the night (they shut at midnight). I went through the drive-thru and as I wasn't caring what I ate (I was just hungry and had a one-hour drive ahead of me) I asked what was available now.
The Indian chap at the window persuaded me that he would personally make me what ever I wanted from the menu as all the remaining food that was already prepared was going stale and I wouldn't want it. He took my order and made a small mistake when typing it into the till - nothing serious he'd just doubled up the entry for something, he realised it and called his colleague over to help correct it.
Now, instead of allowing his colleague to come over and talk him through the correction he tried to dash off to make my burger. His colleague, who, by the looks of it, had been through this many times with him, called him back to learn. He stood there watching the process of correcting the double entry as if he was bursting for the toilet. As soon as the entry was corrected he dashed off again, leaving his colleague to collect the money from me and issue my change.
When I drove upto the next windows I could see the Indian guy dash maddly round parts of the kitchen putting everything together. He eventually, and very proudly, presented me with my meal - but I couldn't help thinking that if he'd just done his job and let everyone else do their job it would have arrived a lot faster (remember I told him at the start I was in a hurry) and he wouldn't have irritated his colleagues who were trying to help and show him how to correct his mistakes.

I have noticed that at all fast food place, regardless of race. They take customer service and politeness to the extreme, where it actually becomes counter-productive. I'd like to read your blog, shoot me a link to it when your server isn't water-laden.

I'll leave you to learn about nice indentation.
I still remember having to write your own code in FORTRAN rather than be a cut and paste merchant being pampered by colour coded Intellisense - ahh proper programming - those were the days

All you do is post general question that if you bought a book or used this thing called GOOGLE you could learn. Now stop bothering us!

No one here will write code for you. Put together some requirements and go from there.

Sorry...you're not going to get that kind of help from these forums. The people here answer questions on a volunteer basis and will be more than willing (usually) to help with specific questions for specific problems. Asking someone else to do your work for you won't get any responses that you are going to like.

what is sql client provider.

Have you looked on Google or MSDN? It's the ADO.NET data provider used to communicate with a Microsoft SQL Server database engine.

Gosh! That's an excellent subject for a post in the C# forum. I would never have guessed that the post might possibly have anything at all to do with C#.

Whyis it that almost every incorrectly placed, wrong titled, and ridiclous question comes with "Location India" in the profile?

American companies should use these forums as a case study to forecast what things will be like before they convince themselves that outsourcing is such a great idea!

They should do that, but it will hurt us american developers too. They will see what we do here at CP during the "Research time" that will bill them for

I have two assemblies which both contain a definition for a specific interface, unfortunately these definitions differ in that some of the function signatures require different type like:
SomeFunction(IntPtr param1, int param2);
and
SomeFunction(MyClass param1, MyEnum param2);
(Obviously not the real function and class names)
When I try to bind to the interface from the other assembly I get an InvalidCastException even though they are both defined with the same GUID.
Is there any way I can get this to work without changing the signatures as this causes a lot of issues in the rest of the project (Both parts not mine BTW).
Thanks.

Have you tried casting to the required type?

So you have an interface that looks like this:
public interface IMyFunctions
{
SomeFunction(IntPtr param1, int param2);
SomeFunction(MyClass param1, MyEnum param2);
}which is defined in assembly Interfaces.dll?
In some other assembly you have a class that looks like
public class SomeClass : IMyFunction
{
SomeFunction(IntPtr param1, int param2) { ... };
SomeFunction(MyClass param1, MyEnum param2) { ... };
} Assuming that the above is reasonably correct to your implementation, you get an InvalidCastException when you try to do what?
What do you mean "they are defined with the same GUID"? There are no GUIDs that you can set that have any kind of impact on the compiler and runtime behavior.
Have you stepped through the code with a debugger attached to see where the exception is actually ocurring? That should give you a better idea of what is going wrong.

I should have been more clear. The interface is IShellFolder, it is defined in both assemblies as a ComImport
[ComImport, Guid("000214E6-0000-0000-C000-000000000046"),<br />
InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIUnknown)]
The problem is the the signatures are different, for example:
<br />
int BindToObject(IntPtr pidl, [In] IntPtr pbc, [In] ref Guid riid, [Out] out IntPtr ppv);<br />
and
<br />
int BindToObject(IntPtr pidl, [In] IntPtr pbc, [In] ref Guid riid, [Out, MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Interface)] out IShellFolder ppv);<br />
When I call IShellFolder.BindToObject on from one assembly to the other I get a valid IntPtr but when I cast it using Marshal.GetObjectForIUnknown I get an error saying "Specified cast is not valid"

Hi all,
I would like to have a control that can be binded either to *.Jpg for a picture or *.mpeg for a video content.
Can you please help me get which control i have to use to accopmlish this task?

You can use the WebBrowser control which can display pictures natively or embed WMP in the HTML to play video.

Thank you very much for your time.
Sorry can i get this control on the default C sharp or Asp.net Developent toolbox?
If not where can i find it?How would i include it in to my page?
I am using C sharp and Asp.net for reporting application.
Thanks for you time.

The WebBrowser control is for the Windows Forms toolkit (e.g. C# desktop app development). I don't know ASP.NET well enough to tell you whether there's such a control. Probably not. My guess is you could simply have some logic that created an <img> tag for images, and otherwise used Flash or Windows Media Player for video.
