I'm fairly new to C#, have worked with the C# XNA gaming studio and VB.Net 2008 but have very basic knowledge. I work in the car & manufacturing industry as an electrical engineer and am looking to broaden my programming skills using C# and the Modbus TCP protocol.
Can you please recommend any books that explain the ModbusTCP protocol in C#.net 2008.
Do you have any links to any source code or classes that could get me started. Tried one off here but can't get it to compile, I get the following errors.
Error 1 The type or namespace name 'ModbusTCP' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) C:\Users\Martin\Downloads\Modbus_TCP_class_demo\ModbusSampleCommon\frmStart.cs 8 7 ModbusTester
Error 2 The type or namespace name 'ModbusTCP' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) C:\Users\Martin\Downloads\Modbus_TCP_class_demo\ModbusSampleCommon\frmStart.cs 14 11 ModbusTester
Thanks - Martin

Hi,
there are typically two steps required before you can use classes from some managed DLL:
1. add a reference to your project; in Visual Studio, right-click your project, choose Add Reference,
wait a while, locate the assembly file of interest, and go.
2. in each source file going to refer the classes of that assembly, add a "using someNamespace;" statement for your convenience. (The odd programmer will tell you you could skip that and always use fully qualified class names).
That's it.

I’m practicing a database and I have a 3-column table. I’m using binary formatting to save/open the file. I can’t see what is wrong with my code –
I can display records in the datagrid view ok when I press the save button
I can also save the records into the dataset ok when the save/close button is pressed.
When I reopen the programme and press the reload button to reload the dataset, additional records will not be displayed nor saved though original records will be showing in the datagrid.
When I reopen the programme and DO NOT press the reload button, I can enter new records and they will be saved because this is basically overwrites the original dataset.
Ideally, I want to be able to open the dataset and then be able to add new records to the dataset/datatable.
Any help and advice on how to correct this?
Thanks,
Steve

One possible reason that your question has not been answered is that it is too difficult to read your code sample.
If you place it between pre tags and format it properly you will have more chance of getting an answer.
<pre>
put your code here
and indent it properly

Hi all,
I am not clear if this the right forum for this question !? (or administration ?)
As the starting condition of my setup file (msi) I have to determine if .NET Framework X.Y is already installed.
So I need the componentID of the relating framework. I seeked the registry but I found hundreds of guid's.
Where do I get the correct one ?
Thanks in advance
Frank
PS.: I am missing a forum for installer-questions (is there a one ?)

If your installer includes files that require .Net then VS should automatically add a .Net Prerequisite to the "Launch Conditions" page in the VS Editor. If you click on that prerequisite you can view its properties and change the .Net version number to whatever you want.
If that isn't working for whatever reason this[^] article may help.

Hi Jimmanuel,
thanks for your answer.
The VS2008 installer addeted automaticly the Prerequisite (but the wrong one) .NET v3.5 instead of .NET v2.0 (my app was compiled for .NET2.0) and left the componentID free. So I came back to my question - where to get this componentID (GUID) or what checks the installer to determine if the correct version is installer or not. - The article doesn't tells somthing about it.
Thanks
Frank

Hello friends,
I've a interview for .Net Developer with 1 year experience.I waan possible interview question with answer.Thanks in advance.
Cheers,

What is the company you are interviewing with? I'll just give them a warning to pass on your interview.
only two letters away from being an asset

They will probably ask how well you know .Net, the probably answer in your case seems to be not very well.
Good luck!!!

If I'm the interviewer I'll sit you in front of Visual Studio and set you a task. I will explain the task in detail. I'll show you the resources you need to complete the task. I'll let you know that the machine has an open internet connection so it is a real life test, you can use any resources any of our existing developers will have access to. Before I leave you to the task I'll makes sure you understand and give you an opportunity to ask any questions you may have. At any time you can ask me or my colleagues questions.
After 2 to 4 hours (depending on the experience you've told me you've already got) I'll see how you are getting on. You will walk me through the code you have written and explain how it works and how it fits together. So far, only one person ever completed the entire task, so I'll ask what you would continue to do if you had the time to complete the task.
So, no questions. If you can talk-the-talk that's doesn' necessarily mean you are any good. If you can walk-the-walk then I'll take you seriously.

Would you mind giving an example of one such task? (I'd like to see how close I could come)

Well, without being too specific (I don't want to have to come up with a new one, and I don't want to give away too many details - some job seekers are wiley and can use the inter-tubes) it would involve the following:
Some sort of user interface, candidate gets the choice or WinForms or Web Application (I suppose WPF could be included). There is a data source involved, we provide a flat file, XML file or database and candidates can choose which they'd prefer (they also get the option of re-designing the data format as there are slight flaws).
The application consists of some sort of input which dictates which data to display. There is also some data that is disconnected from the data source (say some graphics files). And there are some inconsistencies in the way things are names.
What we are looking for is: Is everything set out logically? Are any of the flaws in the spec or source files (data, graphics, etc.) provided resolved? Does the program work (at least to some extent). Did they make any unit tests?
I suppose something along the lines of a stock system where you can put in a product category and get back a picture along with current inventory levels and price would fit the bill.
For bonus points (if they finish the main part of the exercise) make it editable.
You now have 4 hours. GO!

Seriously, if you want to give it a go I can see if I can come up with a spec and some files. Or you can first off design some database and flesh out a specification based on my previous description and follow that through.

Harold,
I've found an older version (WinForms only version). I can send it to you if you wish. Just use the email link on this message to get in touch and I'll send it over.

Colin.

Thanks for the offer but I think you've told me enough, I was mostly just curious about what kind of thing I could expect 
I have a feeling that I could pull it off, but it's the holidays for me and I'm afraid laziness wins today (I'm a student, need I say more?  )

i am the beginer for .net, i need to bind records into gridview using data reader,
please help me, how to do this..
|
|
|
|
|
this is very easy, first declare data reader and provide obj for data reader and read each and every row using for loop and bind the gridview columns.
|
|
|
|
|
Quite easy, first declare some list with type of your data wrapper, then read db via reader and populate one warper object with data from reader for each row and add it to declared list. Lastly you need to set gridview data source property to your declared list and call bind on gridview that's it.
