You could try looking at the documentation for ApplicationSettings this gives some examples of doing this sort of thing.

Hi Everyone

please look at following two line this is not working when i execute my prject

int div = Convert.ToInt32(textBox1.Text.Trim());
ptr[0] = ptr[1] = ptr[2] = (byte)((ptr[0] + ptr[1] + ptr[2]) / div);

but if i remove the first line and enter an integer value in place of div variable it works such as following line.

ptr[0] = ptr[1] = ptr[2] = (byte)((ptr[0] + ptr[1] + ptr[2]) / 3);

Following is the full listing may it help you to figurout the problem
a method that convert a bitmap from colored to grayscale
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

public Bitmap GrayScale(Bitmap bmpimg)
{
BitmapData bmpData = bmpimg.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, bmpimg.Width, bmpimg.Height), ImageLockMode.ReadWrite, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb);
int remain = bmpData.Stride - bmpData.Width * 3;

unsafe
{
byte* ptr = (byte*)bmpData.Scan0;

for (int i = 0; i < bmpData.Height; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < bmpData.Width; j++)
{
int div = Convert.ToInt32(textBox1.Text.Trim());
ptr[0] = ptr[1] = ptr[2] = (byte)((ptr[0] + ptr[1] + ptr[2]) / div);

ptr += 3;
}
ptr += remain;
}
}

bmpimg.UnlockBits(bmpData);

return bmpimg;
}

why is int div = Convert.ToInt32(textBox1.Text.Trim()); inside the nested loops? Are you planning on changing div while the image processing is going on? or are you just looking for ways to make it extremely slow?

What does this mean?
Are you getting an exception?
Does it do something you do not expect?
Have you single stepped, to see what value div is set to in your code?

What, which, something else?

BTW there are several articles here on CP that demonstrate converting to greyscale, have you looked at them.

Thanks both

problem solved i was not handling exception and not i placed that code outside of the loops as follow

public Bitmap GrayScale(Bitmap bmpimg)
{
BitmapData bmpData = bmpimg.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, bmpimg.Width, bmpimg.Height), ImageLockMode.ReadWrite, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb);
int remain = bmpData.Stride - bmpData.Width * 3;

unsafe
{
byte* ptr = (byte*)bmpData.Scan0;
int div = 1;
try
{
div = Convert.ToInt32(textBox1.Text.Trim());
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
for (int i = 0; i < bmpData.Height; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < bmpData.Width; j++)
{

ptr[0] = ptr[1] = ptr[2] = (byte)((ptr[0] + ptr[1] + ptr[2]) / div);

ptr += 3;
}
ptr += remain;
}
}

bmpimg.UnlockBits(bmpData);

return bmpimg;
}

Hi,

when you store the value of bmpData.Width in a local variable, your code will run some 20% faster.

You should use int.TryParse to test if the entered text is a number or not.

HttpResponse Compression... ?

[Intro]

To keep the story short, I have created a Download manager creating various simultaneous HttpRequests and downloading the HttpResponses (of the files).

In brief, the relevant code looks somewhat like this...

dRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(txtURL.Text);
dRequest.AddRange(dFrom, dTo);
dResponse = (HttpWebResponse)dRequest.GetResponse();
Stream dStream = dResponse.GetResponseStream();

..And of course the download is saved etc etc etc. This all works fine.

[End of Intro]

Today I was told that I should enable compression (from the server side - whenever possible) when downloading the file in order to speed up the download even more... However, I have no idea how this works or how this can be achieved?

I am not asking for someone to do the code for me (although any examples are appreciated), but I would like to know how this can be achieved / how the system works, or what to search for, in order to achieve this?

Huge thanks! Big Grin | :-D

Please go through the following article which contains exactly what you need

Using HTTP Compression for Faster Downloads[^]

If you need to increase the speed further then you may use the below code which actually deals in sockets and increases the speed to many folds when parallel downloading is going on.

public class MyWebResponse
{
public MyWebResponse()
{
}
public void Connect(MyWebRequest request)
{
ResponseUri = request.RequestUri;

socket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);
IPEndPoint remoteEP = new IPEndPoint(Dns.Resolve(ResponseUri.Host).AddressList[0], ResponseUri.Port);
socket.Connect(remoteEP);
}
public void SendRequest(MyWebRequest request)
{
ResponseUri = request.RequestUri;

request.Header = request.Method + " " + ResponseUri.PathAndQuery + " HTTP/1.0\r\n" + request.Headers;
socket.Send(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(request.Header));
}
public void SetTimeout(int Timeout)
{
socket.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Socket, SocketOptionName.SendTimeout, Timeout * 1000);
socket.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Socket, SocketOptionName.ReceiveTimeout, Timeout * 1000);
}
public void ReceiveHeader()
{
Header = "";
Headers = new WebHeaderCollection();

byte[] bytes = new byte[10];
while (socket.Receive(bytes, 0, 1, SocketFlags.None) > 0)
{
Header += Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bytes, 0, 1);
if (bytes[0] == '\n' && Header.EndsWith("\r\n\r\n"))
break;
}
MatchCollection matches = new Regex("[^\r\n]+").Matches(Header.TrimEnd('\r', '\n'));
for (int n = 1; n < matches.Count; n++)
{
string[] strItem = matches[n].Value.Split(new char[] { ':' }, 2);
if (strItem.Length > 0)
Headers[strItem[0].Trim()] = strItem[1].Trim();
}
// check if the page should be transfered to another location
if (matches.Count > 0 && (
matches[0].Value.IndexOf(" 302 ") != -1 ||
matches[0].Value.IndexOf(" 301 ") != -1))
// check if the new location is sent in the "location" header
if (Headers["Location"] != null)
{
try { ResponseUri = new Uri(Headers["Location"]); }
catch { ResponseUri = new Uri(ResponseUri, Headers["Location"]); }
}
ContentType = Headers["Content-Type"];
if (Headers["Content-Length"] != null)
ContentLength = int.Parse(Headers["Content-Length"]);
KeepAlive = (Headers["Connection"] != null && Headers["Connection"].ToLower() == "keep-alive") ||
(Headers["Proxy-Connection"] != null && Headers["Proxy-Connection"].ToLower() == "keep-alive");
}
public void Close()
{
socket.Close();
}
public Uri ResponseUri;
public string ContentType;
public int ContentLength;
public WebHeaderCollection Headers;
public string Header;
public Socket socket;
public bool KeepAlive;

Extracting Repeating Table Data In a Web Part

lday8610-Jun-09 5:42

10-Jun-09 5:42

Hi,

I am pretty new to developing in InfoPath and SharePoint. I have the requirement to extract repeating table data from an InfoPath form using web part (written in C#).

I have been looking into how I might go about doing this but I don't seem to have come up with a solution.

I have tried getting the document as an XML document but it will not let me open it in the web part and claims I don't have the correct permissions, even though i have full permissions across the whole site (including on the document library)

Could anyone point me in the right direction or offer any advice?

Many thanks in advance,
Luke

For a label control i dynmically changed the font and color of the text and then i stored those values in the database(access) and i want to apply the values stored in the database to other labels. How to apply those stored values to other labels from the database. I retrieved those values from database i got the values as string , then how to apply these string values to change the color of the label.

Storing colors should result into a numeric value.

look at the 'color.toargb' and 'color.fromargb' functions.
Or 'color.toknowncolor' and 'color.fromknowncolor' functions

the project which i am doing is windows based project . In that i need to generate some reports , so i did that with crystal reports and then i created a setup file and then i installed in another system, then i am getting the exception . After that i removed crystal reports from my project and again i installed the setup file , then its working fine. I want to know how to include the reports.

Without knowing more about the error you get I think you need to install the crystal report framework.
You can include this into your .net setup.
Google for merge modules on how to do that.
The crystal reports site has the download for their merge modules somewhere but I can't find the link right now.

Checking a registry key exists

Martin3108810-Jun-09 4:21

10-Jun-09 4:21

Hi everyone,

I'm writing a little application and I've hit a bit of a problem.

part of the program uses the registry to store certain things. I have no problem writing or reading a key. But I need to be able to check the key exists, if it does do this, if not write the key.

Here's the code I'm currently using:

using Microsoft.Win32;<br />
RegistryKey MyRegKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("software\\MyApp\\SaveData");<br />
            if (MyRegKey != null)<br />
            {<br />
                string OptCurrency = MyRegKey .GetValue("Currency").ToString();<br />
            }<br />
            else<br />
            {<br />
                RegistryKey CreateMyRegKey = Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubKey("software\\MyApp\\SaveData");<br />
                CreateMyRegKey .SetValue("Currency", 0);<br />
                string OptCurrency = "0";<br />
            }<br />
MyRegKey.Close();

This is fine if the key exists, but doesn't recognise if it does not, and runs through the if rather than the else.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Many thanks
Martin

I am not sure that I understand this.
Are you saying that if software\\MyApp\\SaveData doesn't exist, the if part of your code executes?

BTW: if you surround your code snippet with <pre></pre>, rather than <code></code>, it will allow you to retain the formatting and make it easier for others to read. (use the 'code block' widget, not the 'inline code' one).

Re: Checking a registry key exists

Martin3108810-Jun-09 4:57

Martin31088

10-Jun-09 4:57

the other way around, if that key doesn't exist run the else part to create the key.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
