As Henry said, it doesn't matter - any class (derived or not) can generate events.

Good answer!

For future reference, there is no need to create a delegate if using 2.0 or above.

public event ChangeHandler Changed;
can be written as
public event EventHandler Changed;

If custom event args are needed, there is a generic event handler
public event EventHandler<ChangedEventArgs> Changed;

Yay, no more delegate writing when using events Big Grin | :-D

I think you mean that your class generates a sequence of results, rather than a single result?
If so, then I would output them to a list and signal to the higher level that there were available.

Specifically, I would set up a queue in your class:

public Queue<string> qsOutputResults = new Queue<string>(100);

(Always create a queue with a minimum size or it gets extended the first time you use it)

Then when your results are available:

qsOutputResults.Enqueue(i.ToString());
OnChanged(null);

This adds the results to the queue and signals the results are ready.

In your form:

private void Changed(object sender, EventArgs e)            
   {            
   while (classMine.qsOutputResults.Count > 0)
      {
      tbResultsGoHere.AppendText(classMine.qsOutputResults.Dequeue());
      }
   }

Using the queue means they come off in the same order they went on.

If your form is too busy, they will just wait on the queue until you are ready.

You can replace the string with whatever is sensible for your results (of course).

You probably don't want to AppendText (it depends on your app) it was just for example.

thx dude, that is really appreciated.
the thing which i got concern with, My messsage will not increase than 1000 lines, in each 1000 lines i will clear the textbox contents,
well do i need to use queue for my case, or i should use some other collection for good performance? and if the size of queue increase will it affect the speed and performance of computer?

The performance of the queue should be pretty good anyway (except when the size is increased, at which point a new structure has to be created and populated with a copy of the original). Just a case of setting the initial size to a reasonable limit.

If you use another collection (a List<T> for example) then you would have to take care of the FIFO ordering which a Queue guarantees. If you are displaying the latest results (as you seem to) then why re-invent the wheel?

How to caluclate the sum in datagridview

Hello....

In my application i am having a datagriview with columns

Column1 column2 column3

Accountname Debit Credit

-----------------------------------

total debit total credit

The total debit and total credit are two textboxes outside the gridview.

And my gridview is unbound.

Plz help me how i can caluclate all the values in the debit column and get

the result in the toatldebit textbox and similarly credit into total

credit textbox.

Plz someone post me the code...

It's helpful

Thanks in advance... Smile | :)

It is unlikely that you are going to get the entire code here. Have you tried anything?

You can handle the CellLeave event of the gridview and set the value in the textbox. Check the column index of the cell and if it is debit/credit and then set the text of textboxes below.

It's not necessary to be so stupid, either, but people manage it. - Christian Graus

is that really what you want to do?

i create the database and all the required store procedures in sql server, only then i begin to build c# application
i don´t do any sql in c#, i just trigger a sql SP i want by triggering an event like button click
so, i have a DataGridView to show datatable and i trigger refresh, add, delete, edit row SP procedures for exemple to make changes

i have also crystal reports viewer, but here you will have to built a scheme that is a 100% match your datatable scheme in order to work, DGV doesn´t need that, it "loads" anything regardless the datadable scheme

hello

Looking into obfuscating our application binary - I stumbled across

It's free. My question is, is there any "de-facto" methods/tools most commonly used by .NET community which I should check first?

Good question! Smile | :)

Here are the features of the various software options:
http://rustemsoft.com/SkaterDoc/index.html?order.htm[^]

Does anyone know how those features compare to what in in VS2008 Professional? I was asked at work about protecting our IP. I gave it a quick handwave saying that we get a tool in VS2008 Professional software.

Also, I was thinking of doing a direct compile to an X86 hardware base and bypass CLI. I haven't done that yet. It's just something that I read about in one of my .NET books.

Thanks In Advance!

What you should search in an obfuscator, beside strong obfuscation methods (flow control etc.), is string encryption.

My experience in the last few years showed me that the "best" obfuscator out there is Demeanor for .NET[^], which is a commercial software and requires a license fee.

But lately a very interesting freeware tool captured my attention: it's Eazfuscator.NET[^]. It's a great piece of ware, comes with all the needed obfuscation and encryption algortihms, and it's free!

We've been using it in production environments for some months now, and it proved quite effective. Don't be fooled by the looks of the VS integration interface (it doesn't look professional): it's a command line tool and works exactly like other obfuscators.

whoa thanks - Eazfuscator.NET, is it easy to use?

Looks like Skater.NET is the only option which also offer licensing support

http://rustemsoft.com/SkaterDoc/index.html?order.htm[^]

Lets say if the intention is for my boss to protect his Intellectual Property against me. If I'm the guy who write the licensing code (instead of using third party software like Skater.NET), then would obfuscation software such as Ezafuscator (with no built in licensing) be able to serve this purpose?

Thanks

Eazfuscator is very easy to use. Like other obfuscators, it's just a command line tool, but it includes a simple interface for VS integration, which will take your project and automatically add a post-generation event to call the utility. You just end up with an obfuscated exe, not much more to be done.

In order to include or exclude classes and pieces of code from obfuscation, it offers some custom attributes.

It does not include any licensing support, so if you need it I guess you'll have to go for Skater or some similar commercial software.

About protecting intellectual property, if your boss wants protection against you (the developer) my opinion is he would be going the wrong way if he thinks to enforce it with obfuscation and licensing.

You write the source code, so you can steal it, either by copying it or by trying to rewrite it. Besides, even with a licensing method not written by you, you can still steal the asymmetric encryption keys and the passwords. If he wants protection against information leakage, I think the correct way is trust and an NDA.

For my projects I decided to write the licensing software myself, cause I don't want to be tied to a third party solution which may not work with future OS releases, or may drop out of the market, or whose pricing strategy may force me to spend high amounts of money in the future. That said, most software houses use pre-cooked licensing solutions and they are more than happy with that.

I think your choice will depend mainly on three factors:

1) Is the cost for the third party solution acceptable (would it cost me more to develop and maintain my own solution) ?
2) Do I have the concrete possibility to develop an in-house solution (time, skill, etc.) ?
3) How much is my software worth against the cost I will pay for licensing (i.e. which is the REAL chance of someone wanting to break it - and succeeding - and which would be the REAL loss I will undergo ? - this in my opinion is the fact most people fail to consider properly) ?

Well, good luck. Let me know how it goes. Smile | :)

Just how does your boss think obfuscation of the executable code would work to protect his IP from the developer who codes with the source? The only way to enforce such protection would be to blindfold you when you sit down... Sniff | :^)

Thanks!

In my case, the end product is high volume, but the Windows app won't be available to the public. So, my management wouldn't go for any of the hassles or internal bookkeeping costs that goes with a licensing fee.

It looks like I may go with Eazfuscator.NET.

Thanks again!
