I too had not looked at this before.
From a brief look, I think you are largely correct, although there is (very) slightly less typing involved in array slicing when using it.

Hi, i wanna retrieve my blob data from mysql database..
After retrieving it, i wanna use the image on one of my button.
How do i do that? any clues?
|
|
|
|
|
Get the data as a byte array, load the array into a MemoryStream, use Image.FromStream() to read it as an image. Apart from the blob being a byte array, the method of retrieving the data is as usual. If you have a MySQL database driver installed on the computer, the DataGridView will automatically show the blob as an image

I dont quite know how to do that, but this is the code i have
private void getMainCommImages()
{
Byte[] image = null;
MySqlDataReader reader = db.getMainCommImages();
while (reader.Read())
{
image = new Byte[(reader.GetBytes(0,0,null,0,int.MaxValue))];
reader.GetBytes(0, 0, image, 0, image.Length);
reader.Close();
db.Close();
}
}
public MySqlDataReader getMainCommImages()
{
Connect();
command = conn.CreateCommand();
command.CommandText = "SELECT image from images";
reader = command.ExecuteReader();
return reader;
}
after getting the image in bytes. how do i display out to my button

So where does it fail? Do you get the correct byte array? If you do, then simply create a MemoryStream(byte[]) and use Image.FromStream

Thanks i got it working.
Btw, i have 15 buttons name btn1, btn2, btn3 etc etc
i have 15 images as well in my database. How do i get those images to be on each button.
private void getMainCommImages()
{
Byte[] image = null;
MySqlDataReader reader = db.getMainCommImages();
MemoryStream ms;
Image returnImage;
while (reader.Read())
{
image = new Byte[(reader.GetBytes(0,0,null,0,int.MaxValue))];
reader.GetBytes(0, 0, image, 0, image.Length);
ms = new MemoryStream(image);
returnImage = Image.FromStream(ms);
for (int i = 1; i < 15; i++)
{
btn[i].Image = returnImage;
}
}
reader.Close();
db.Close();
}
something wrong with this part btn[i].Image = returnImage;

Every button's image will be the last image read from the database. Try something like this:
private void getMainCommImages()
{
Byte[] image = null;
MySqlDataReader reader = db.getMainCommImages();
MemoryStream ms;
Image returnImage;
int i = 0;
while (reader.Read())
{
image = new Byte[(reader.GetBytes(0,0,null,0,int.MaxValue))];
reader.GetBytes(0, 0, image, 0, image.Length);
ms = new MemoryStream(image);
returnImage = Image.FromStream(ms);
foreach(Control ctrl in this.Controls)
{
if(ctrl.Name == "btn" + i.ToString())
{
ctrl.Image = returnImage;
break;
}
}
i++;
}
reader.Close();
db.Close();
}

i got this error
Error 1 'System.Windows.Forms.Control' does not contain a definition for 'Image' and no extension method 'Image' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Windows.Forms.Control' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

its ok. I got it working
Thanks for your help..
This is my solution
private void getMainCommImages()
{
Byte[] image = null;
MySqlDataReader reader = db.getMainCommImages();
MemoryStream ms;
Image returnImage;
int i = 1;
while (reader.Read())
{
image = new Byte[(reader.GetBytes(0,0,null,0,int.MaxValue))];
reader.GetBytes(0, 0, image, 0, image.Length);
ms = new MemoryStream(image);
returnImage = Image.FromStream(ms);
foreach (Control ctrl in tabPage3.Controls)
{
if (ctrl is Button)
{
if (ctrl.Name == "btn" + i.ToString())
{
((Button)ctrl).Image = returnImage;
break;
}
}
}
i++;
}
reader.Close();
db.Close();
}

I am looking at a series of header files with thousands of #define statements in them. I have been tasked with writing a utility that utilizes these defines in C#. I know that I can manually convert these, but unfortunately they are living files and I would have a maintenance nightmare.
My question is does anyone have or used any utilities that can be run has a pre-build process from inside VS that converts header file #define to C# constant?
Any help on this is greatly appreciated!

You can use the utility MSBuild Task[^] that provides the code that runs during the build process.
You need to include the code to convert header file #define to C# constant
|
|
|
|

I use the C pre-processor and then pass the result to CSC. But I don't know about integrating that with VS.
One of the problems with trying to automatically convert it is that the macroes don't specify a type.
Another solution would be to store the items in XML and then use XSLT to produce either C/C++ (h) or C# code as required.

Interesting idea...I have a question as to what and how you pass data from the C pre-processor to the CSC?
Thanks everyone for you thoughts!

Thanks PIEBALDconsult...Couple questions
1. Is this entered at the command-line or via a batch file?
2. The "C:\mingw\bin\cpp" reference. Where is this from?
Thanks again!

I'm trying to remember where I got the installer I used, at the moment I can't even find the file I downloaded.
Ah, I remember; at one point I had installed Quincy[^] and it installed MinGW.
When I built my current system I simply copied the directory tree over.

Yeah, tricky. Interesting problem too. I guess you're right, have a prebuild step which parses the #defines and spits out constant integers. I know of no such tool, but should be easy to write yourself.
I've got some vague recollection that .NET doesn't stash constant integers in metadata but resolves them to numbers during main compilation. If this is correct, if your constants are used outside the assembly they're defined in, you'd need to rebuild that assembly as well. Just replacing the one assembly don't work. Perhaps someone here could confirm that or tell me I dreamt it.

I have the following scenario. I have a WinForm that has a TableLayoutPanel in which each cell has a GroupBox that is logically separating the controls on the form. Now, each group box has a button which can be considered the default button if and only if Enter is pressed in one of the textboxes in that group box in that particular cell in the table layout panel.
Now, the default button is no longer an option and I assume that that is because of the table layout panel, so the idea of having one massive select statement figure out which "default" button to fire won't work.
Is there a proper way of doing this?

Are all the GroupBoxes identical? If so, then what about a custom control, derived from GroupBox, which has the controls already added. Perhaps adding a property to expose the Button and TextBox for flexibility. When the return key is pressed in the TextBox, use the PerformClick() method of the Button. Then, just add the derived GroupBox control to the TableLayoutPanel in place of the normal GroupBox setup

In what sense? Their contents represent different things, for example, Name in Arabic, Name in English, National ID Number etc. If you mean functionality wise, what is happening right now is that each Group Box has its own button that then grabs the info from the right text box and grabs all the information from the DB that matches that criteria. Some stuff are not unique (nationality for example) and so will return a number of matches.
I like the idea, but I don't know if its applicable in my case.
Thanks though

DefaultButton may not be available, but AcceptButton still is, because that's what it is called in C# WinForms!

Nope. Its available on the form itself but not from any of the other controls (group boxes in particular), but I remember toying with it before I went to Lebanon and it didn't do what I wanted it to. Giving it another try..
Confirmed, the form is not capturing the Enter keypress. I'm guessing that the event is not bubbled up from the textbox.

The only reference to DefaultButton I could find on my local MSDN gave results in the System.Web.UI namespace.
