Re: When is goto acceptable?

7-Jan-09 6:20

IMHO, Goto is only acceptable during the next Ice Age and every 3rd Ice Age thereafter.

Seriously, I haven't used one in over 8 years, and don't plan on doing so anytime soon. If your app, data model, algorithm, ..., is designed correctly, you shouldn't need one.

Have you ever seen the little window stickers of the kid peeing on some company logo?? Put the Goto in place of the logo...

Ok, that is definitely an acceptable use of goto. Smile | :)

Hi
I've a DLL that basically refers 2 another .Net DLLs, with the given situation is it possible for us to create only one TLB file using (TLBEXP.EXE) with all dependencies?

Thanks in advance ...

Dave Kreskowiak7-Jan-09 5:59

Are you asking if it's possible to get all three .DLL's in the same TLB? No, it's not. AT least, I've never heard of a tool that will do this.

Thanks for your reply.

So what is the option to build one CCW setup that should actually expose all DLLs?

Dave Kreskowiak8-Jan-09 1:37

8-Jan-09 1:37

Why do you have to have one?

AFAIK, there isn't an option.

OK, i think if i explain my situation you can suggest me.

I've an application (.Net C#) and i want to give an interface to COM based users, for this i need to ship all APIs (like say i've 10 DLLs). I just dont want to build 10 different TLB file and register them separately at client machines.

Want to build one wrapper class that will expose all other DLLs, this is what i want to achieve. How can i get it done?

Thanks in advance.

You just said it, right there. Build a COM-based wrapper class. All those .DLL's are still going to have to be registered though...

how to arrange images on canvas to form collage with each image different angle and important part of image should be visible and no blank space

Eddy Vluggen7-Jan-09 4:38

about saliency extraction

7-Jan-09 4:38

Use Paint Shop Pro, make the collage as a bitmap and set this as the background of the form?

how to select salient part of image ,salient means important part for which we taken out photograph, no matter what is background ,floor,sky...

Eddy Vluggen7-Jan-09 4:41

7-Jan-09 4:41

There are no standard-functions to do this in .NET that I'm aware of, I'm afraid you'll have to roll your own.

You're baking a photographers-paintprogram?

actualy we r making image collage project which will show salient part of images and so is there any way by using intensity,saturation,hue of pixels we able extract that part

Eddy Vluggen8-Jan-09 0:24

8-Jan-09 0:24

This class can serve as an example on manipulating colors. Or, you can take a look at MSDN, and take a look at the GetSaturation method of the Color-class.

You got a though project on your hands there.. If I understand you correctly, you'll have to iterate through all the pixels, and judge them based on hue/intensity/color/something?

I are troll Smile | :)

yogesh_deshmukh9-Jan-09 2:05

9-Jan-09 2:05

Yes,now we r just considering pixels intensity factor,but problem with that is time required for two for loop quit large for getpixel(),setpixel() fun so is there other method so that we can increase speed of execution?

Eddy Vluggen9-Jan-09 2:18

9-Jan-09 2:18

Have you considered Parallel.For? Personally I prefer the AForge version, as it only requires .NET 2.0. It's quite an improvement in execution-time if you got a dual-core (or better) processor Smile | :)

Just noticed that the author is also doing a lot of image-manipulation.

Thanks, we will implement it

i implemented parallel for loop but in below code it is throwing exception 'invalid operation for gepixel and setpixel' is it possible to use gepixel() in this context please help!!
AForge.Parallel.For(py1, py2, delegate(int z)
{
for (x = px1; x < px2; x++)
{
Color pixelColor = image2.GetPixel(x, z);
img1.SetPixel(x, z, pixelColor);
}
});

Eddy Vluggen18-Jan-09 2:34

Display numbers in HEX - DataGridView?

18-Jan-09 2:34

The AForge-framework provides an abstraction with it's Parallel.For, from threads. The framework actually generates some threads on the background, to execute the For-loop. Hence, the same rules apply to threading; you're not allowed to access variables from other threads.

See the BackgroundWorker class for more details on these limitations.

Is there a away the cells will display the value in HEX ?
Thanks

Maybe i am missing somthing is therea way of not converting to string and display the value as Hex
Thanks

A simple method like this should do it:

public string ToHexstring(byte[] byteArray)
{
    if (byteArray.Length > 0)
    {
        StringBuilder resultBuilder = new StringBuilder();
        foreach (byte value in byteArray)
            resultBuilder.Append(value.ToString("X2"));
        return resultBuilder.ToString();
    }
    else
        return "00";
}
