The window consists of 5 buttons. When the window loads, it checks the .key file whether the buttons to be visible. The form start position is defaulted to center screen.
Let's take the scenario:
3 buttons would not be visible,
the window shrinks by 169 (pixels?) horizontally.
This has resulted that the form window to be off center on the screen.
Now the question is:
How the heck do I refresh its position after the form size has changed?
|

|
|
Oh never mind... I've got it.
Gotta do this BEFORE the form becomes visible (loaded) so it would be centered as it should.

Use System.Windows.Forms.Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Height/Width and do the math.
like (screen width/2) - (window.width/2) and do the same for the vertical dimension...
Hey, thanks for sharing your answer when you found it mate!

Hey guys, I am writing a windows c# services that monitors servers and determines if the server is up or down based on whether or not it checks in. If one of the servers doesn't check in, the service needs to place a call to the tech on duty. What would I need to use to make a call in c#?
Thanks in advance,
Travis

You can use TAPI.
|

I have doubt from ur TAPI?
how can u use the normal .net framework application TAPI?

You could buy a gprs wavecom modem. Wavecom Fastrack Supreme StarterKit[^]
Stick yourself a mobile SIM card in it, and then send out SMS messages to whoever the tech guy on call.
Then it would just be a case of using: "System.IO.Ports.SerialPort" to write the sms command to it.
Failing that you could just buy this activesms toolkit: http://www.activexperts.com/activsms/[^]. The instruction on how to send a sms message using c# look easy enough. http://www.activexperts.com/xmstoolkit/howto/mm1/vcnet/[^]
This will allow you to send/recieve sms messages to your wavecom, so you could get your tech guy to reply to the sms message to acknowledge he has recieved it.

If the tech uses a cell phone and the server has internet access, you can just send an sms message or email. If that's the case, then check out the API's that the service provider has.

Hiya all,
I was wondering if someone could tell me whether i can define the maximum number of rows for a ListView. I am using the ListView in detail mode and would like a maximum of 1000 rows. When i insert the 1001 row i would like the first row inserted to be deleted.
thanks in advance
|
|
|
|
|
ahh i think i got it!
When i add a new row to the list control i have also added some code that checks the number of rows currently in the list. If its = to a 1000 then i delete the 1000th row!
Code looks something similar to this:
if (UpdateList.Items.Count > 10)
UpdateList.Items.RemoveAt(10);

Hello everyone,
For the Dispose pattern, here is what MSDN mentioned,
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/b1yfkh5e(VS.80).aspx
--------------------
Implement the dispose design pattern on a base type that commonly has derived types that hold onto resources, even if the base type does not.
--------------------
Could anyone let me know what means "on a base type that commonly has derived types that hold onto resources" and "the base type does not"? Could anyone show some pseudo code please?
thanks in advance,
George

You will be implementing the IDisposable on the base class and allowing all child classes to override the Dispose(bool disposing) method.
Assume you are creating a windows form that has extra functionalities than the classical windows form. So you will create a new class which inherits from "Form" class. Here you won't implement IDisposable again because the base class already implemented it. You can override the dispose method in your class and clan up the resources created by your class. Call base classes dispose to release it's resources at last.

Thanks N a v a n e e t h,
I want to confirm with you, the Dispose() method from IDisposable interface is not virtual, and the customized method Dispose (bool) is virtual and we should override Dispose (bool) in Dispose pattern, right?
regards,
George
|
|
|
|
|
Yes. Dispose(bool) can be overridden in the subclass.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks N a v a n e e t h,
But why "do not implement a Finalize method on the base type" as mentioned in MSDN? Any issues if we implement Finalize on both base, derived and most derived types?
regards,
George

You don't need to re-write Dipose or Finalizer in the sub classes, it is already implemented in the base class. Assume you have the following class structure
class MyBase : IDisposable
{
protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
if (!disposed)
{
if (disposing) { }
disposed = true;
}
}
~MyBase()
{
Dispose(false);
}
public void Dispose()
{
Dispose(true);
GC.SuppressFinalize(this);
}
}
class MyDerived : MyBase
{
protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
if (!disposed)
{
if (disposing) { }
disposed = true;
}
base.Dispose(disposing);
}
}You have not re-implemented the IDisposable and finalizer again in the MyDerived class. So if you forget to call MyDerived classes dispose after using it's instance, GC will call MyBase classes finalizer and it will call the overiden method here in the derived class.

Thanks N a v a n e e t h,
I read again the situation described in the quoted MSDN article. Still a little confused,
1.
Does it mean when in the situation of when both base class and derived class wraps native resource, we only need to put Finalize method to the derived class?
2.
Or only the derived class wraps native resource, and hence we only need to implement Finalize in Derived class?
regards,
George

No. You don't write finalize method to the derived class. You can write it for base class. In derived class just override the Dispose(bool).
