Sorry for the vagueness

It is handling less than before, doesnt appear to be handling more than 2 or three now.

First, don't mix case in the same scope. Local variables are usually either camelCase, or PascalCase but doing both is very poor practice, most people use camelCase. Watch the types of your objects, calling ToStrings on strings shows a poor thought process. Also, don't update the GUI in your loop (lblPath.Text = path) it can be part of the problem and most likely will not update with any regularity.

I do not know if this will work but you can try the code below: (Fix any of my typing errors as I typed it in this window), I don't know if JET supports prepared parameters but if it does you can call command.Prepare() before the loop begins.

OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand();
command.Connection = connection;
command.CommandText = "INSERT INTO library(artist, title, album, path) VALUES (@artist, @title, @album, @path);"
command.Parameters.Add("@artist", OleDbType.VarChar);
command.Parameters.Add("@title", OleDbType.VarChar);
command.Parameters.Add("@album", OleDbType.VarChar);
command.Parameters.Add("@path", OleDbType.VarChar);
string sqlString = ";
foreach(string path in filePaths){
    currentSong = new ID3Info(path, true);  //Is this disposable? If so use using(currentSong = new ID3Info(path, true){
    command.Parameters["@artist"].Value = currentSong.ID3v2Info.GetTextFrame("TPE1");
    command.Parameters["@title"].Value = currentSong.ID3v2Info.GetTextFrame("TIT2");
    command.Parameters["@album"].Value = currentSong.ID3v2Info.GetTextFrame("TALB");
    command.Parameters["@path"].Value = path;
    command.ExecuteNonQuery();
}

Setting Form2's start position as Form1's last position

Hey folks,

I am very new to c# and have a small problem.

The problem :

My mainForm loads up in the CenterScreen position, if I open a new form(form2) it currently opens in CenterScreen position as well.
When form2 loads, form1 falls away.

What I'd like to achieve :

If I moved my mainForm before calling form2 up, I would like form2 to appear in the mainForm's last position.

Thanks in advance for any guidance in this matter.

Paulo.

If form2 is insanciated from form1, then you can set form2's location property after creating form2 but before calling it's show method. Make sure form2's StartPosition is set to Manual.

If not, you could use the project's settings to save the position of form1, and retrieve those settings in form2's constructor.

This will help you more. Find some keywords here and Google it, it will give you some code, and explain what you are doing.

You need to create an instance of Form2 from Form1. Then get Form1's position, and set Form2's position to the same. Finally, show Form2.

You should be able to get started with those steps.

The first one is pretty simple. Somewhere in your Form1 code you will have something like this:

Form2 form2 = new Form2();
form2.Show();

Just insert
form2.Location = this.Location;
in between.

The second, you will need to create a setting in your project's properties of type System.Drawing.Point. On each Move event (you'll need to subscribe to the event) handling method in Form1, set your setting:
Properties.Settings.Default.YourSettingName = this.Location; and after the InitializeComponent call in Form2, retrieve the setting:
this.Location = Properties.Settings.Default.YourSettingName;

Hi Dave,

I cannot believe how simple this solution really is - thank you so much.

I am still getting to terms with the jargon and so on, I was so close! Smile | :)

private void btnOpenForm2_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           if (form2 == null || form2.IsDisposed)
           {
               form2 = new Form2();
               form2.Location = this.Location;    < ----- I just had to add this
               this.Visible = false;
               form2.Show();
           }
           else
           {
               MessageBox.Show("form2 already open,showing");
               form2.Focus();
           }

        }

I also had to change form2's start position within the code for form2, to

this.StartPosition = System.Windows.Forms.FormStartPosition.Manual;

Thanks so much again for the help, I really appreciate it!

That can be done from the designer instead so it's serialized into the Form2.Designer.cs file automatically.

Using Generic Method to Determine if All Elements in an Array is Zero

11-Mar-09 12:17

I want to know how to do that. I can use foreach and for loop, but I prefer to use the array class.

Assume I have my array like

int[] arrayData = { 1, 3, 5, 0, 6 };

By using .All generic method, it is possible to do something like that to determine if all elements are zero

arrayData.All //this is where I have the problem

So how can I use the .All to determine if all elements in the array is 0

The MSDN has samples, but basically you write a predicate method that returns what you want to return. For example, a search method would involve you writing the code that checks each element. Under the hood, it's not much different at the end of the day, the code that runs will use for each to check each element.

11-Mar-09 13:32

item is an inline-declared parameter. You shouldn't have to explicitly declare it anywhere. Enumerable.All should be able to determine the type of the parameter at compile-time.

Note: I'm not in front of my compiler right now, but it's possible (?) that you may have to explicitly provide the parameter with a type. In that case, I believe the syntax would be:

arrayData.All((int item) => item == 0);

(disclaimer: this is all coming from memory, so I might not be spot-on D'Oh! | :doh:

Your method works fine, but it looks like it is not possible to check if all elements equal 0 in a 2D array. I couldn't find a way to do that for a 2D array as I did for a 1D. Is there a way to check if all elements is 0 in a 2D array?

Hiding an empty Column in Gridview

11-Mar-09 11:31

Hi all,
I am using ASP.NET 2.0 in C#. I have a database full of products. Depending on the product series depends on the specs that I want to show. I have a gridview to show the different models of a series. Each product series has a different set of specs. I would like to have a gridview to show the specs of a number of models in a series and if you click on a different series you might get a different specs.

Down to it, I want to know how to hide columns that are null or empty when a query is done. And if the query has data in the columns to show them. This way only the columns that have data in them are shown.

Any suggestions?

string sql = "Select Count(*) From TABLE_NAME";

Run this query and catch return value using ExecuteScalar(). If return value equal 0 so GridView.Datasource = null;

Another way; if using DataSet or DataTable use Row.Count property. If Row.Count equal 0 so GridView.Datasource = null;

I am sorry, but that does not seem to do what I am after.

Lets say I have three columns, titled COL1, COL2 and COL3. When I do a query and rows of data are return and there is no data in COL3 I wish to hide it.

Delegates for instance methods across appdomains... [modified]

I have been building a GUI that interfaces with 3 services via remoted interfaces. I'm using GenuineChannels (http://www.genuinechannels.com) broadcast engine as the framework for event based communication between services & the GUI. Since you can only register one remoted object per AppDomain (I hope that statement is correct), I've had to create a seperate AppDomain for each UserControl in the GUI so more than one remoted object can be registered. Each UserControl contains a TreeView that needs to be updated via the broadcast engine, or remoted events. Everything appears to be working just as I had hoped, but here is my problem. I've tried using different types of delegates at different scopes within the code & also tried refactoring my code, but I cannot seem to come up with a way to update the TreeView instance within the UserControl from a remoted object in a seperate AppDomain. Here's most of the code from the classes involved. Unimportant peices have been removed.

namespace Console
{
public partial class ControlDelegate : UserControl
{
public ControlDelegate()
{
InitializeComponent();

// Create appdomainsetup information for the new appdomain.
AppDomainSetup setup = new AppDomainSetup();
setup.ApplicationBase = System.Environment.CurrentDirectory;
setup.ApplicationName = ("Delegate-" + AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FriendlyName);

//Create evidence for new appdomain.
Evidence evidence = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.Evidence;

// Create the application domain.
AppDomain domain = AppDomain.CreateDomain(("Delegate-" + AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FriendlyName), evidence, setup);
DelegateMessenger remote = (DelegateMessenger)domain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().FullName, Assembly.GetCallingAssembly().GetName().Name + ".DelegateMessenger");
Thread thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(remote.Construct));
thread.Start();
}

/****************************/
this method must be static to refer to it, which is my problem.
/****************************/
public static void tViewDelegateHeartBeat(Objects.Message message, String nickname)
{
System.Console.WriteLine(message.action);

/****************************/

//tViewDelegate.Nodes.Add(message.action + " " + nickname);
}
}
public class DelegateMessenger : MarshalByRefObject, IDelegateMessenger
{
public static String Nickname = "Delegate-" + Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Name;
public static DelegateMessenger Instance = new DelegateMessenger();
public static IDelegateChat iDelegateChat;
public static IDelegateServer iDelegateServer;
public static Object IDelegateChatLock = new Object();

public void Construct()
{
try
{
// Setup remoting with assembly objects as remote object.
IDictionary props = new Hashtable();
props["name"] = "gtcpd";
props["prefix"] = "gtcpd";
props["priority"] = "100";
props["port"] = "0";

GenuineTcpChannel channel = new GenuineTcpChannel(props, null, null);
ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(channel, false);
WellKnownClientTypeEntry remotetype = new WellKnownClientTypeEntry(typeof(SharedChannels.GenuineTcp.GenuineTcpChannel), "gtcpd://127.0.0.1:48886/DelegateMessenger");

// Bind client's receiver.

}

I'm hoping someone sees something silly that I'm doing and can point it out. The project is still in its infancy, so I could refactor everything if need be. Any ideas?
