An MSDN search gave me this as the first result:

And that wasn't even with Google...that was with MSDN's crappy built-in search. C'mon Nnamdi, we gotta do all your thinking for you? Wink | ;)

I have noticed that programs that use GDI+,
when their windows is moved particially
outside of the screen area, when they are
moved back, they start redrawing everthing
from the beginning (which is very slow).
This doesn't happen with OpenGL or DirectX
programs (lets say: all of them show some
3D objects: a cube, some lines, etc - nothing
more). Why happens this to GDI+ programs?
What should be done to avoid it?
SHould I post a specific link to an example
of this effect?

Basically this depends on how the application was written. You can specify the clipping region of your screen that gets redrawn with GDI+. I would suggest reading the article : Professional C# - Graphics with GDI+[^]

DirectorySearcher

I am not able to get a list of Users from my Domain Controller using a DirectorySearcher. I am catching an execption "A referral was returned from the server". I have added setting the RefferalChasing option to 'all' and I still get the same exception. The Domain, and Server are correct(changed here to protect the guilty).

Does anyone have any ideas?

DirectoryEntry Root = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://Domain/cn=Users,DC=Server");
DirectorySearcher Searcher = new DirectorySearcher(Root);
Searcher.ReferralChasing = ReferralChasingOption.All;
try
{
SearchResultCollection Results = Searcher.FindAll();
foreach(SearchResult Res in Results)
{
Console.WriteLine(Result.Properties["cn"][0]);
}
}
catch(Exception Ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(Ex.Message);
}

Question about drag and drop

I'm have two listboxes and I have to set it up so I can drag items from one box to the other, including multiple items if they are selected with the ctrl or shift key. I've got it working at the moment, but it seems like a horrible cludge and I wondered if they're isn't a better way?
This is what I'm doing:

For the source listbox (it only has to go one way, BTW), I set up the ItemDrag event to create a DataObject and then set it to the SelectedItems[0] with the DataFormats.Serializable because apparently the collection it's self isn't serializable. Then I call DoDragDrop with my DataObject.

For the target box I set the DragEnter event to first check if the data is Serializable using GetDataPresent. I then try casting the data to a ListViewItem (catching the exception if it won't cast). Then, if it casted okay I check that it actually came from right ListViewBox. If all these tests are passed I set DragDropEffects to Copy (otherwise none).
Then for the DragDrop event in the target box I just ignore the data being passed (because it was already checked by DragEnter) and just copy all the SelectedItems into the target box.

It seems to work okay, but it doesn't seem like the most elegant way of doing things. Does anybody have a better or more efficent routine? Also, is there any simple way to get the outline dragging that you see in Explorer? If so how do you go about this?

Thanks

What is mcWebService?

To install a web service, all you need to do is copy it into an IIS5 "application" folder.

Text file encoding...

Luca Leonardo Scorcia4-Oct-02 7:06

4-Oct-02 7:06

I use this C# code to read a text file line-by-line, process each line and then write it back to disk. It works beautifully, if the file contains only the first 127 ASCII chars. The chars 128-255 are simply skipped. How can I fix this?

StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(m_sSrcFileName);
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(m_sDestFileName);
try {
	long savedBytes = 0;
	do {
		string oldline = sr.ReadLine();
		string newline = ProcessLine(oldline);
		savedBytes += oldline.Length - newline.Length;
		sw.WriteLine(newline);
	} while (sr.Peek() != -1);

	Console.WriteLine(savedBytes + " Bytes saved");
	return savedBytes;
}

Remember that the input files are not 2-bytes-unicode, but 1-byte-extended-ASCII.

Thank you in advance.

Have you tried System.Text.Encoding.ASCII?

eg. StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(m_sSrcFileName, System.Text.Encoding.ASCII);

Paul

Luca Leonardo Scorcia4-Oct-02 9:59

Luca Leonardo Scorcia

4-Oct-02 9:59

Yep I tried your suggestion and now it does not get skipped, however it writes back the wrong char to the file: for example the ù char becomes ?... I also tried to set the same encoding for the StreamWriter but with no success... do you have other suggestions?
