When I bind a Datagrid to an arraylist (the items are strings), only one column
appears and it only shows me the lengths of the strings

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Use List<string> instead.

Write a query that:

1. Uses the UNION operator to concatenate the data in columns A, B & C into 1 column.
2. Uses the GROUP BY clause and COUNT aggregate function to count the instances of each fruit.

Hope this helps.

why does my meesage box take attention twice?

Hello to all.

I guess I don't really understand how things(especially threads).

I have a function that runs in a separate thread then the rest of my application.

in the end of the function I print to a messageBox info I need for debugging.

the problem is I get to the messageBox twice.

the function is:

private void checkProblematicValves()
        {
            int dCount = 0;
            int numMessagesLost = 0;
            if (valveCheckedListBox.InvokeRequired)
                {
                    checkProblematicValvesHendler d = new checkProblematicValvesHendler(checkProblematicValves);
                    valveCheckedListBox.Invoke(d);
                }    
            else
            {
                foreach (long key in messageArr.Keys)
                {
                    if (messageArr[key] != null)
                    {


                        doing some stuff here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                            
                    }
                }
            }
            MessageBox.Show(numMessagesLost.ToString());
        }

I get to this "MessageBox.Show(numMessagesLost.ToString());" line twice, once with a true value
that prints to messageBox and right after I return to the same spot and it prints 0;

Can any one explain to me how come????

thanks in advanced.

Semaphore-like sync mechanism beetween multiple computers

Hello,

Any idea to create a synchronisation beetween processes running on 2 (or more) computers, as a semaphore IPC ?

Someone suggests me :
- locking record in an SQL database
- file on a shared filesystem

What else ?

Thanxs

synchronize what? Perhaps I'm wrong but that seems significant to me.

I need a mutual exclusion beetween processes running on different computers.

Explanation :
I have a program querying web services. It is running on 2 computers for load balancing and fault tolerance. The 2 processes are doing the same things, so i need to ensure anything done by one is not redo by the second.

Thanxs

Wow. That is not an explanation.

"doing the same thing"
"querying web services"

What things, why, when, how? How does the process know what to do?

Is there a way to access a Form's object by a method?

Not sure how to word the subject.
Perhaps this will be clear.

Formname.setObject("Object_name").Value = "True"

Any thoughts?

Define your own public properties for the Form if you want to access data you are storing within an instance of the Form from another class.

I can do that.. But assuming I got into the Forms init method and I defined a function that accesses the objects' by name, I still don't know how to do that.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

I don't understand what you mean by 'objects'. Are you referring to controls hosted by the form? Or are you talking more generally about accessing the values of class-level object variables based on the name of the variable? If it is the latter, there is no built-in way of doing this. You could easily achieve this behaviour however by storing the objects within a Hashtable.

Does this data need to be editable, or is it just displaying information based on the (i'm assuming unique) code?

2 ways to do it. You can either pull the entire datatable worth of information and databind the table using a bindingsource(look up the bindingsource control), or you could make a call to the db every time you enter something and get that information.

Conceptually its pretty easy, you have a db full of information, and something you're using as the key to look stuff up. Hopefully you'll be able to figure out how to apply the SQL queries/form interaction.

How to lookup an IP address from a MAC address

Hi,

How would I go about finding a devices IP address given its hardware address?

I have a group of thin clients and they are given IP addresses by DHCP, I'm writing a little program to start a secure shell and that needs the clients IP address and all I have is the MAC.

Hope someone can help

Stephen

Your program runs on the client or the server?
What does "start a shell" mean?

The program will be run on a windows 2003 terminal server and will be used to issue commands to the thin clients that connect to the server. The server has a config file thinstation.hosts that contains the MAC address and name of each of the clients and I want to find the IP address of each of these clients which is assigned by dhcp. I'd like to do this without resorting to giving them all dhcp reservations and creating a new config file mapping these, which is quite possible but messy.

The dhcp server is a separate Windows 2003 server, I was thinking I may be able to lookup an IP address with a query this dhcp server (using WMI?). Or maybe as I know the name of the clients a query to DNS. Now before someone says just connect using the name, for some reason I can't. I think because the clients live in the .local domain and the server lives in the active directory domain.

A Secure Shell or SSH is a network protocol that allows data to be exchanged over a secure channel between two computers. I'm using Tamir.SharpSSH http://www.codeproject.com/cs/internet/sharpssh.asp and this works great when connect manually.

Hope this gives a little more info about what I'm looking for Big Grin | :-D
