Hi,
I am writing a program that needs to manipulate Animation Master's models(an 3d animation program).
Hash Inc have available an sdk for developing plug ins using C++. But they have an ActiveX that exposes all the sdk libruary, it's called WebHAMR.
I really need to do what I need to do fast, and because of this I am using C# Express 2008.
I really don't want to do it in C++
This is what I do:
I add WebHAMR as a Reference, And it works fine if I just place a WebHAMR control on a form and load a 3d model.
The problem I am having is that if I create an object using the library exposed by WebHAMR, I get the following error:
Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {2FDB515C-EA6A-4B4A-8300-A0446FEB7F78} failed due to the following error: 80040154.
I really need help, I am limited on time.
Thanks

I have a localized form set up with default, en-CA and fr-CA languages. I tried testing the form, for each of the languages by changing the HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Control Panel\Desktop\MultiUILanguageID value between 0409 (en-US), 1009 (en-CA) and 0C0C (fr-CA). The correct localized text is displayed everytime I test the form without debugging but not when I test using VS debugger.
Here's what I do:
1. Create a localized form with a button which closes the form.
2. Update HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Control Panel\Desktop\MultiUILanguageID value to 0C0C (was originally 0409)
3. From Visual Studio IDE window, choose "Start without Debugging"
4. Form displays with French text as expected
5. Update HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Control Panel\Desktop\MultiUILanguageID value to 1009
6. From Visual Studio IDE window, choose "Start without Debugging"
7. Form now displays with Canadian English text - again, as expected
8. Update HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Control Panel\Desktop\MultiUILanguageID value back to 0C0C
9. From Visual Studio IDE window, choose "Start Debugging"
10. Form displays with Canadian English text - expected to be French
11. Repeat step 9 above - without touching the registry value (still 0C0C)
12. Form now displays in French as expected
I noticed that if I want the form to display in the correct language, in debug mode, I need to run it twice after changing the registry value.
I test by changing HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Control Panel\Desktop\MultiUILanguageID value because I don't want to change locale in Control Panel everytime. Is this test valid? If so, does anyone know why my test results are different between "Debug" and 'non-Debug"?
Thank you.

Hello
I am trying to update record in a database. I can see the changes in the datagrid, but they don't get saved into the database.. The 3 textboxes show the values of the currently selected row in the datagrid. So i press the Change button to make the textboxes active, change the text and then click the Save button.
Here's how the form looks like: http://img529.imageshack.us/my.php?image=45903634.jpg

Your Code is very Ugly, you are not even trapping exceptions, and you open connections at wrong places.
This is how you update a Datagrid

Everytime i multiselect files it creates so many tabs as files selected..but there is only text of first file in first tab..other tabs are empty...
Here i have code for opening file:
private void evtOpenFile_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
openFileDialog1.Multiselect = true;
if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
foreach (String file in openFileDialog1.FileNames)
{
evtNewDocument_Click(sender, e);
RichTextBox richTextBox1 = new RichTextBox();
richTextBox1 = tabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls[0] as RichTextBox;
richTextBox1.LoadFile(openFileDialog1.FileName,RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText);
saveFileDialog1.FileName = openFileDialog1.FileName;
FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(openFileDialog1.FileName);
string pot = fi.Name;
tabControl1.SelectedTab.Text = pot;
pot = "";
}
}
}
evtNewDocument_Click(sender, e); creates new tab in tabcontrol with selectedindex on it! Still can't figure out what is wrong... PLZ HELP!
THanks

for each iteration of the foreach this statement acts exactly the same, AFAIK SelectedTab is not changing (unless there is something hidden inside evtNewDocument_Click that succeeds in changing the tab whilst inside the evtOpenFile_Click, so the GUI thread is busy and not acting on extra messages right now).

I am changing selectedindex..Something is wrong with changing to next text file.. In all tabs richtextboxes is text from first file in multiselect..

Sorry, I missed that.
There is one mistake though, you foreach "file" but never use it, instead you use "openFileDialog1.FileName" all the time, which isn't right. That would make all textboxes show the same text.

Aljaz111 wrote: What should i change??
the only thing that changes value for each iteration of the foreach is the "file" variable, so you should USE it where ever you need to do something to one of the many files you are handling one by one.
If the code inside the foreach block does not rely on "file" it will perform the same actions over and over again, always using the same data.

So where to use file?...Or can i walk through files in some other way?
|

Hint: what do you think openFileDialog1.FileName is holding when multiple files are selected?
Suggestion: buy a tutorial book on C# and work your way through it, you will acquire a lot of knowledge and insight from it.

Hi.
Could you guide me what the equal of this struct is in C# ?
struct chromo_typ
{
string bits;
float fitness;
chromo_typ(): bits(""), fitness(0.0f){};
chromo_typ(string bts, float ftns): bits(bts), fitness(ftns){}
};
Thanks
|
|
|
|
|
I must be getting really rusty with my C++ (It has been about 8 years) that I don't even know what some of this means any more:
chromo_typ(): bits(""), fitness(0.0f){};
chromo_typ(string bts, float ftns): bits(bts), fitness(ftns){}
What does the code after the colons do?

Colin Angus Mackay wrote: What does the code after the colons do?
this struct has been used like this :
chromo_typ temp[POP_SIZE];
temp[cPop++] = chromo_typ(offspring1, 0.0f);
temp[cPop++] = chromo_typ(offspring2, 0.0f);
|
|

This demonstraits potential usage. It doesn't explain what the code after the colons on each line do. However, jimmanuel's explanation of how to convert your code to C# explains it.

public class chromo_typ
{
public string bits { get; set; }
public float fitness { get; set; }
public chromo_typ() { bits = ""; fitness = 0.0f; }
public chromo_typ(string bts, float ftns) { bits = bts; fitness = ftns; }
}
I do believe this is right.

the float and string member variables are straightforward and the struct should be a class in C# (unless you have good reason to use a struct). The tricky stuff comes after that.
This
chromo_typ(): bits(""), fitness(0.0f){}; is a constructor with minimal code formatting, here's an expanded version that's a bit easier on the eyes:
chromo_typ() :
bits(""),
fitness(0.0f)
{
}; That's a parameterless constructor with an initialization list (you can google that for more info). A very similar way of writing that constructor would be this:
chromo_typ()
{
bits = "";
fitness = "0.0f;
};Now, in C++ there are subtles difference between those two versions of the function but for the purposes of the C++ -> C# conversion you needn't worry about them. This version of the function is another pretty straightforward conversion from one language to the other.
The second chromo_typ(...) line is just another constructor with some parameters. You should be able to convert that one the same way as the first

This is a performance issue: Struct vs. Class. I'm at that point in development where I need to make the app more stable. The program is a truck control and monitor system. Right now the app can have any number of trucks, let's say 5. Each has an engine, the shape of the information will be given later. The child form per truck has controls to change RPM, GEAR, and Pressure as well as gauges to monitor various other aspects of information being sent back to the form from the actual engine. Needless to say this makes for all trucks to be observable a little hard on one screen. This is where the truck monitor comes in, a smaller version with bear minimum, to have all trucks on screen.
I've designed where each truck gets a time slice since we're using RS-232. We're locked into this there is no negotiating this point. Each truck writes to, receives from the engine, process information, writes to file, and eventually send to monitor child form. All this occurs at 250 ms per truck.
Each truck has a monitor for mostly display and contains three controls.
As to the processing, each truck listen to incoming port, for properly formed string data, parses the data, assigns proper portion to the right variable of the engine and gauges. Such as, rpm info is place in engine.rpm_var and so on.
All this is accomplished through a loop on the parent form, MainController. This parent form has the comport portion,RS-232, here. The loop looks this:
Indiv_Truck_Cntrl tempChild = (Indiv_Truck_Cntrl)this.MdiChildren[trxx];
{
Truck_Active.Text = tempChild.Name;
Main_Serial_Port1.Write(tempChild.port_out);
test_port = Main_Serial_Port1.ReadExisting();
if (test_port == "")
{
}
else
{
Send_Truck_Info(test_port);
}
tempChild.SEND_SETTINGS_Click();
So the question here is do I use a class or a struct for the information I need, that is for Engine. Right now I have my Engine defined as:
public class Engine

It works now, but for better performance as far as memory management, aka. Garbage collection what's better?.
I've been reading on the class/struct thing, reference vs. value. I 'm leaning toward struct for performance and hopefully stability. I need the ability for each truck to have the ability to take and hold information. I could always figure away to pass the info to the monitor form
This below is what I've found:
You want your type to look and feel like a primitive type.
You create a lot of instances, use them briefly, and then drop them. For e.g., within a loop.
The instances you create are not passed around a lot.
You don't want to derive from other types or let others derive from your type.
You want others to operate on a copy of your data (basically pass by value semantics).
I'm I right to think to changing to a struct and if so what should the struct even look like? I hope this is enough detail.
One last question, is the class Engine complex enough to stay a class or can I safely change to a struct?
Thanks

From your summry, it sems you've read this[^] article.
If you read the section when not to use stucts you will see
"should ideally be below 16 bytes".
For that reason alone, with all those strings it's gonna be way above that, so stick with the class.

I'd leave them as classes.
Worrying about performance differences between class and struct is generally a waste of effort; "performance" is not a reason to choose one over the other.
A truck is not a value, you don't perform operations with it.
|
|
|
|
|
If you are concerned about performance you shouldn't use strings for things such as IP addresses..
You can safely change it to a struct, but as you know it will pass by value, and it's big - so don't pass it.
Just change "class" to "struct" and you're done.
BUT, the struct vs class thing isn't likely to be the problem here (it occasionally pops up when dealing with several millions of instances of some type). I'd advice you to get a good profiler (such as ANTS from Red Gate) and look at what is really slowing it down.

1.
class without a doubt, it really is an object, not a value; rather big; needs passing around; etc etc.
As you have 20 odd string pairs in it, how will one more object make a difference?
(suggestion: make the feature strings static)
2.
your communication is using RS232C, which isn't really a fast interface. How can your code be in trouble performance-wise? How much is there to compute for one truck (250msec)?
