Re: Name of Image - C# Discussion Boards

Hey Guys
I have a pictureBox which gets its Image from the Resources file. And I have a label where I want to display the name of the Image (which is a .jpg Image). How do I get the name of the Image from the Image file without the .jpg extension.
I want the lblInfo to display Cow in this case.

pictureBox1.Image = Resources.Cow; //jpg image Cow.jpg
// lblInfo.Text =

// first import System.IO namespace
and then use this one....

lblInfo.Text = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension("path of image file");

Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension() method needs a string. And the file which I have included in the Resources file is an Image. How do I give Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension() a string.
I have included the file in the Resources.resx file.

How can you get an Image Location from an Image object. If that makes it simpler.

its not possible to get the name from an Image object. You have to code for this. Something like

pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile("ImagePath");
pictureBox1.Tag = "ImagePath";

now whenever you need the path, just parse the Tag property of PB.

In your situation, you may use this

Application.StartupPath + "\\Cow.jpg";

noway to get the path from an Image object AFAIK

Thanx a lot, thats exactly what I wanted to know. Even though I am not very happy, that the Image object does not return the path or the name of the Image.

be polite, always remember that any word in your message wont angry the other members who have answers and avoid to reply because of your words.

if you want to make skin in C# then you will need lots of panels/pictureboxes, you must learn how to dock panels and grab/make controls images, inherits classes and many more. If you are new to this then you have to learn too much before start...

"Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Web-Based Client Development"

Also try this one from Apress:

I would highly recommend any books by Dino Esposito. He has been writting some great ASP.Net books for years now, and also speaks at all the major Microsoft events.

Most of code in his ASP.Net books is written in C#.

I would also recommend visiting: http://www.asp.net/learn/[^]

There are a lot of good references and videos there to get you started.

"This program might require administrator privileges"

For some reason my C# app occasionally causes Vista to put up a notice after the app exists that says "This program might require administrator privileges. If this program did not run correctly, try running the program as an administrator."

My app runs fine, and should not require admin. What might I be doing wrong to cause Vista to put up this notice?

Thanks!

The last time I counted there were roughly 3,167,849 reasons that Vista might exhibit this behaviour.
Without knowing, at the very least, what your app does, it is almost impossible to help you.

However questions that immediately come to mind are:
Do you do anything in the FormClosed or FormClosing events?
Does your app try to clean up after itself, e.g. delete temp files or whatever?

> Without knowing, at the very least, what your app does, it is almost impossible to help you.

Fair enough. The problem is that it's a pretty big app, so whatever part of the code is doing it, I'm probably not aware of it off-hand to tell you about. The app itself is just a document editor--nothing that should be doing funny-business in theory.

> Do you do anything in the FormClosed or FormClosing events?
> Does your app try to clean up after itself, e.g. delete temp files or whatever?

I do indeed do some cleanup on exit, including deleting temp files that may not have been deleted already. But as far as I can see my app doesn't need admin to access these files--wouldn't that make a difference?

Also, should I read anything into the fact that Vista only displays this message once in a while on exit? (Obviously if it displayed it every time, I'd discover the cause by commenting out code until the problem went away.)

Thanks for your help.

That sort of error is the very worst type to track down.

As you said in your original post the error only happens after app closes, I would suspect clean up as most likely cause, assuming it really is the last thing the app does. Is there a particular temp file or type of file that is only created occasionally?

The only other thing I can think of to suggest is to use a logging application. Have you looked at Log4Net? It is quite easy to use, and I have found it useful in tracking down weird errors. If you are not already familiar with it, a quick google will find lots of help for it, download sites etc.

Sorry I can't be more help.
Good luck!

Thanks for the tip, I'll check that tool out.

I've seen this message appear before with other applications, and it always appears after the application exits. It makes me wonder if activity during any part of the program's execution can trigger the message, but maybe Vista waits until the program exits to actually show the message (since there's little point in asking if you want to re-run the app as admin while the app is still running!).

What i need to do is to Insert a record into a primary table and then
insert a corresponding record into the child table.My problem is that the
Primary column is an identity column so after inserting into the primary
table when i need to insert into the child table i need to know the the
primary columns value(which is auto generated by the database) and then use
this value to inert into the child table.Any one who faced this problem
earlier Sniff | :^)

.

i am using sql2005 and c# 3.5. No Data Set Involved in it.

You could use a stored procedure to caputure the primary key of the newly inserted row and have it either return that back to the applicaction, or if you are only inserting one child row then just send the stored proc the child data too and have the stored proc insert the child.

Oh, and to get the last inserted identity value generated use

SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY()

Note: It must be run in the same scope as the original SQL.

Hello Zubair,
There are two solutions to solve your problem

1. Either you can use stored procedure or,
2. If you have programming exprience then solve your problem as follow.

First insert record in Primary table, so primary column will autoincrement its value.Eg. suppose u r inserting student_name 'XYZ' in student table and stud_id is primary column.

Now, use select query to find the value of stud_id from student table by using the name of student that u hav just inserted.
eg. SELECT stud_id FROM STUDENT WHERE student_name = 'XYZ'

Now, u hav obtained stud_id which was autoincremented.

Now, use this value to insert it in child table.eg. suppose u r inserting it in table studentdetails table

INSERT INTO studentdeatails (stud_id,average) VALUES (stud_id, 70)

Ok... hope this will help u. Good luck
