get the color of the pixel of a bitmap at the mouse cursor's position

I am working on a color tracking app. How do I get the color of the pixel at the mouse's position in a bitmap image. I am using C# with the AForge.NET image processing library. If someone can write an example or even a small program that does what was just said so that i may learn from the code, I would be greatly appretiative. I am very new at codeing and I learn best by example. Thanks again.

In other words, you have no idea how to program and you want the code ? Why are you using image processing libraries if you don't even know how to use C# ?

Importing from Excel 2007?

Hi
I am trying to import from an excel sheet in 2007, any other format of excel works fine so im assuming it is the connection string that is at fault.

My current connection string is
@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + ExcelFilePath + ";Extended Properties= Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1";

I have read on connectionstrings.com that extended properties needs to be changed to 12.0 and i should use ACE.OLEDB provider, i have tried this but get an error saying ISAM is not installed.

Any assistance will be appreciated

Thank you.. Smile | :)

"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + excelFileName + ";Extended Properties='Excel 12.0;HDR=NO'";

And then before use this OLEDB, you compute should install Office 2007.

so this would not work for excel then?
is there a reason i should make hdr = no?

Hi again

i solved it, the connection string was fine, i had to add the excel 12.0 object library..

MDI Maximize,Minimize Problem.

Hi I have sample MDI application with two these forms :
Form1(Main Form) is MdiParent
Form2 is MdiChild

i want when Form2 open, it should be Maximize and user can't change it's WindowState, for this, i wrote this code to open Form2 :

Form2 frm;
frm.MdiParent = this;            
frm.Show();

Form2 Designer Code :

this.AutoScaleDimensions = new System.Drawing.SizeF(6F, 13F);
this.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font;
this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(292, 268);
this.DoubleBuffered = true;
this.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.FixedSingle;
this.MaximizeBox = false; // Set MaximizeBox to False
this.MinimizeBox = false; // Set MinimizeBox to False
this.Name = "Form2";
this.Text = "Form2";
this.WindowState = System.Windows.Forms.FormWindowState.Maximized;
this.ResumeLayout(false);

But, in runTime (as u see in above designer code which Maximize and Minimize set to False), when i open Form2, the Maximize and Minimize appear in Form2 and when click on Maximize button, it's WindowState change to normal (which i don't want this).
Where does my problem and how to solve it ?
Thanks

I didn' realize at the time but I have an MDI app and when I set minimize and maximize to false
MY APP DID THE SAME THING!
I did a bit of looking around and came up with this
Put the code below in the forms resize event and this will prevent the form minimizing

if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Minimized)
{
    this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
}

If the form reverts to "normal mode"
add this as well TO THE SAME resize event handler this will prevent the form going to normal mode

if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Normal)
{
    this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
}

The top code block detects "minimized state", if so then maximise.
The bottom code block detects "normal state", if so then maximise.

I DONT SEE WHY THIS SHOULD NOT WORK BUT I HAVE NOT TRIED THIS SO I CANT VOUCH FOR IT

Is there a process handle limit in 64-bit Windows Web Server 2008?

First of all, I know the standard answer to this question is "If you need to know, you're doing it wrong", but I really do need to know!

Long story short, I have a caching mechanism in a web service (IIS 6) that can cache thousands of items in memory and return them almost instantly, without requiring a trip to the main datastore.

However, when the cached items expire they need to be refetched from the datastore, but only one caller can be executing the 'fetch' code at a time (or else it runs into all sorts of horrible race conditions and deadlocks). All the other callers must either wait for the first thread to update the cache (if the item is not found in the cache) or simply return the cached item while it is being updated in the background.

Each data item contains its own ManualResetEvent, which it uses to block while the cached item is updated. By giving each dataitem its own ManualResetEvent, I can allow other data items to be fetched without blocking them - the only calls that are blocked are those for the *exact* item that has expired.

My concern is that I will run out of handles for the data items, since each item has its own ManualResetEvent, and there could potentially be tens of thousands of data items. Do I need to worry about this, or should I try to come up with an alternate implementation?

Perhaps I could use a pool of ManualResetEvents that can be assigned to items as needed, similar to the way database connection pooling works? This is probably a "better" implementation, but it is more complex and harder to debug...

Thanks for your help Smile | :)

I'm afraid you proved it true once more.

I don't know the number (I must be doing something right Smile | :)

), AFAIK it is a fixed number that depends on the Windows version and I expect it does not exceed a few thousand on a client version.

As each caller may be waiting and causing one update at most, why not associate a ResetEvent with each caller (=each thread) instead of with each handler?

You can use a Dictionary if you want an automatic association, and you can create the ResetEvent when an entry is not found; you could optionally provide a CreateEvent() method so the ResetEvent and DictionaryEntry can be created in advance.

IMO this scheme looks simpler and more deterministic than a pooling scheme.

Haha, yeah I was afraid of that! Laugh | :laugh:

I like your idea of associating the ResetEvent with the caller - as you say, it's a lot simpler than a pooling scheme and much safer than risking the handle limit.

I think I've been looking at the forest for so long that I couldn't see the trees!

Thanks for the help. Smile | :)

Standard class library dll versus COM/COM+ libraries

Hi,

I am about to start a visual studio 2005 project to create a C# class library, however, I have seen that some people uses the COM/COM+ components and they develop their libraries under COM/COM+ architecture ... they see the COM component in "Component Services" and the process as well when it is running.

I am wondering ...

What are the "pros and cons" of using COM/COM+ ? (over the standard default class library dll)

Thanks,

Hi,

COM offers component architecture inside and outside .NET (you can use COM from VB6 Big Grin | :-D

).

COM needs extra code and care, installation, registration, has appartment issues, ...

as I always use .NET on PC, I avoid COM.

Thanks for the reply, I guess the only usage of COM/COM+ nowdays is to use managed code .NET from unmanaged code (VB6 for example)

Would microsoft leave this architecture in the future?

SourceGrid - Open Source C# Grid Control[^]

I presume that^ is the source grid you're on about.
Something like this should work

void grid1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
            {
                if (grid1.FocusCell.Row == grid1.RowsCount-1)
                //to check if you have reached the last cell in the column
                {
                    if (grid1.FocusCell.Column == grid1.Columns.Count - 1)//checks if you have reached the                
                    //last row in the last column
                    {
                        grid1[1,0].Focus(); selects the first cell
                    }
                    else grid1[1, grid1.FocusCell.Column + 1].Focus();selects the first cell in the next 
                    //column
                }
                else grid1[grid1.FocusCell.Row + 1, grid1.FocusCell.Column].Focus();//selects the next cell
            }
        }

}
}

The Bold text "grid1.focuscell.row and grid1.focuscell.colume does not have any defination."

Cant you fix it pls

put your source grid name ("grid1" change it to your grid name") there my friend.
I think you better use the key up event, that can easly handle enter or arrow keys.

                    {
                        grid1.Selection.Focus(new SourceGrid.Position(1, 0), true);//selects the very first cell
