suppose i have one form with one button and i want when i will click the button then mouse will go to a folder and double click on it to open. so please someone tell me how can i do this programatically.

i need this type of idea for developing screen sharing apps. i can develop apps with remoting that which run in client machine and capture client screen and send the scree to my apps and then my apps paint its screen with that image. it is easy but suppose client desktop has one folder called test and when i will click on the picture of that test folder from my end then what i need to send as a result apps in client end can programatically open that folder.

please i need good idea to move in right direction to develop a screen share apps. please give me the idea that how to open folder of client machine after clicking on the image of client desktop transferred by apps sitting in client machine.

i will be highly obliged if anyone can help me to develop this apps with idea and also can tell me if is there any site available from where i can download the sample code.

Thanks in advance

The part of your code that is giving the error is

e.Graphics.DrawString(<big>this.dataGridView1(i, j)</big> + " ", f, b, j * 5, i * 5);

You are using this.dataGridView1(i, j) as if there were a DataGridView method that takes a row index and a column index and returns the value stored there. There is no such method.

You need to use square brackets '[]'.
Like this:

e.Graphics.DrawString(<big>this.dataGridView1[i, j]</big> + " ", f, b, j * 5, i * 5);

but as you have it you will get incorrect results, as it is dgrid[colindex, rowindex] and you are using dgrid[rowindex, colindex]

You can use something like

e.Graphics.DrawString(this.dataGridView1.Rows[i].Cells[j].Value.ToString() + " ", f, b, j * 5, i * 5);

so that you do not get confused about cols and rows.

Note also the .Value.ToString() in the last bit of code, you may, or may not need to use it in your code.

Hi,

I developped a windows service and I'd like to retrieve its own credentials (the "Run As" credentials, not the WindowsIdentity). Is it possible?

If yes, can those credentials be converted to NetworkCredentials? (for webservices calls)

thanks

Context menu for a text box.

Hi,

I have a scenario where I'm validating the data in a text box for special character.

The user can enter the data through keyboard, Copy & paste data using Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V from keyboard, or right click and paste using mouse.

I have to validate the data before it is pasted to the textbox. I'm validating the data for first two scenarios, i.e., validating while user enteres the data, or pasting the data using Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V from keyboard.

I'm not able to find any events which triggers contextmenu_paste_click event.

I'm not allowed to create a context menu for the textbox, that is I have to use the default context menu and I cannot create a new class which inherits the textBox class.

How can I implement this?

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thank you.

Thank you Mark Nischalke for your suggestion.

It works as far as validation is concerned, but doesn't serve my requirement completely, because for the following reason:

suppose the user pastes some text and it he tries to add some thing to same text, then the onTextchanged event is triggered and copies the same text again to the text box. and for other events like cut this event is triggered.

So, I would like to is there any way to access the paste_click event in the default context menu.

First, choose the correct forum. This question would be better posed in the ASP.NET or Web Development forums, it has nothing to do with C#.

Change the CSS on those elements to an appropriate cursor setting.

measure received data/s for an udp multicast address [modified]

collapo17-Sep-09 1:08

Hi
I'm trying to measure data from a multicast udp address.

To do this, i use a socket added to multicastgroup and this code:

while (!b)
{
    byte[] buffer = new byte[udpReceiver.Available];
    udpReceiver.Receive(buffer, 0, buffer.Length, SocketFlags.None, out err);
    if ((DateTime.Now - starttime).TotalSeconds < ((double)elem.timetowatch_ms / 1000))
    {
        newvalue += (ulong)buffer.Length;
    }
    else
    {
        newvalue += (ulong)buffer.Length;
        receivedByteNumber = ((Convert.ToUInt64((double)newvalue / (DateTime.Now - starttime).TotalSeconds)) / 128);
        newvalue = 0;
        starttime = DateTime.Now;
        b = true;
    }
 }

my problem that it is using about 50% of cpu time and if i place it in a thread
it shows less data (~4000kbits/sec) than if it is placed on a main thread (~7000) - possibly because of system time management, but i'm unsure.

Any better suggestion on data measuring on multicast udp with less cpu and regardless of this threadproblem?

Thanks in advance:

I see you have a dual-core system. Laugh | :laugh:

The code you created is basically a polling loop: you are repeating the same thing over and over, without waiting for anything, so the core that executes it will spin around as fast as it can: assume Available is zero, Receive sees zero-length buffer, returns immediately, timespan is very small, loop iteration done, on to the next loop wasting even more cycles.

You need to fix this in one of several ways:
- include a Thread.Sleep(x) in your code, where x>0; say x=33; that way your code will run at most 30 times per second, and your CPU usage will go way down. However you now may miss some packets.
- use a fixed-length buffer, say 2048B; that way Receive will have to wait for data; drawback is it will not report smaller packets until the buffer gets full, so there is a lag.
- use asynchronous I/O, look for BeginReceive. IMO that would be the correct way.

Thanks Luc!

Yeapp, it seem reasonable...

- Thread.Sleep(x) is loosing too much packets, so it won't be good for me i guess

- fixed buffer might be good, I'll try it in a short time

- I'll try BeginReceive as well, though i am not familiar with callbacks, so i would be really thankful if you could enlighten me on that

TCP Socket issue

Harvey Saayman17-Sep-09 0:43

Hey guys

I'm having some troubles communicating to an external device over the network.

Here's my code

TcpClient BadgerConnection = new TcpClient();
BadgerConnection.Connect(IPAddress.Parse("10.0.0.100"), 1111);

if (BadgerConnection.Connected)
{
    StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(BadgerConnection.GetStream());
    sw.AutoFlush = true;

    char[] Buffer = new char[]
    {
        (char)161, // Start Packet
        (char)15,  // Terminal ID
        (char)89,  // Command
        (char)1,   // Amount of arguments to follow
        (char)89,  // Arg 1
        (char)3,   // End Packet
        (char)102  // Checksum = Sum of all chars mod 256
    };

    sw.Write(Buffer);
}

So obviously this isn't working, cause if it did I wouldn't be here Poke tongue | ;-P

What I did was get a packet sniffer and attached it to my program before connecting to the external device.

Here was the result in hex:

C2 A1 0F 59 01 59 03 66

Here's what I intended to send in hex:

A1 0F 59 01 59 03 66

There's an extra character showing up... C2 or rather 194.
Can someone please explain to me why and how can I stop it from sending the extra character?

Thanks

Odd, I would have expected an UTF-8 BOM, but C2.. that's something else..

Anyway, why are you using chars at all? Why not just bytes?

If you send them as bytes, that should probably get rid of that C2 (at least I never noticed extraneous C2's while sending plain bytes)

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