Thanks, everyone.. Abhinav, thank you as well, I use private static double yQ; and I got it working. Thanks Smile | :)

From the error messages, I think you need at add a few statements to your method, just amove the switch:

double yQ;
double yTotal;
double zQ;
double zTotal;

This will declare the missing variables, and should get rid of the error messages.

From a stylistic point of view, have you noticed how similar your two routines getY and getZ are? Perhaps you could combine them into one, so it would be easier to maintain?

All those who believe in psycho kinesis, raise my hand.

0) You probably want to use ref rather than out unless you're somehow calculating the total after the switch.

1) There's no need to assign yQ/zQ twice.

zQ += Convert.ToDouble(Console.ReadLine());

And why not use double.TryParse ? And handle bad input?

2) Pay better attention to the teacher and your textbook.

Thanks everyone, for your input..I do appreciate it.. I'll try all of the above..

Someone said, I should
* Declare all the variables use - I did declare it, I just gave small snippet of the code.
* No Need to assign yQ/zQ - I'm applying what i've learned, I was unaware I could do something like that.
* Double.TryParse - I'm unfamiliar with that, I only know what my book and teacher, taught us.
* I do pay attention to the teacher and my textbook.
* I cannot change it to a if..else statement.. The requirements for this program is to use switch case.

Again, I do appreciate all of your inputs. Thank You, Very Much! Smile | :)

<< and >> do a bitwise shift in the indicated direction the specified number of places. Think of them like n x 10 and n / 10 in decimal (base 10), but in binary (base 2) so they are effectively n * 2 and n / 2 if shifting by one.

| does a bitwise OR where each binary digit is ORed with it's counterpart. This is the OR truth table for each bit in two values being ORed, the first column is the first value, the second column is the second value and the final column is the result:

--------
|0|0||0|
|0|1||1|
|1|0||1|
|1|1||1|
--------

A logical OR || is the same except it can only operate on a boolean value and returns a boolean, so replace the 0s in the table with false and the 1s with true.

Unless you're doing binary operations then you won't use them every day. One place I had to use them recently is in getting/creating the constituent bytes of a MIDI packet. All 'short' MIDI messages are between 1 and 3 bytes long. An Int32 is 4 bytes so Microsoft chose to place all packets in one Int32. If I use a NoteOn as an example:

1001cccc : byte0 = status (c = channel)
0nnnnnnn : byte1 = note number
0vvvvvvv : byte2 = velocity

As an Int32: xxxxxxxx0vvvvvvv0nnnnnnn1001cccc

So to build this Int32 from 3 bytes status, note, velocity) I need to start with status, then left shift note by 8 bits and velcity by 16 bits then OR them all.

Int32 intStatus = status;
Int32 intNote = (note << 8);
Int32 intVelocity = (velocity << 16);
Int32 packet = intStatus | intNote | intVelocity;

To get the bytes out, a 'mask' is needed and a logical AND combined with a right shift

Int32 statusMask = 0x000000FF;
Int32 noteMask = 0x00007F00;
Int32 velocityMask = 0x007F0000;

byte status = (byte)(packet & statusMask);
byte note = (byte)((packet & noteMask) >> 8);
byte velocity = (byte)((packet & velocityMask) >> 16;

Hello Friends,
i am working in a desktop application in VS 2008 using C#. And i am creating some crystal reports against search records. Say i have generate my reports against a Selected Client. Generate crystal report against single client is simple and straight forward.
Now i want to select multiple clients and generate there reports and want to display all of them in single viewer. so i can achieve this?
Second reports will show after the end of first report and will be on next page but in same viewer.
Please help me to achieve this functionality. If possible let me know some sample code for this.
Thanks

Could you design all of your reports as sub reports?

actually the number of sub reports can be any that's why i am not preferring it. is there any other solution that i can add multiple reports of same type in single viewer.

Custom User Control for Multipoint SDK!

Hi:

As everyone might be aware of Microsoft Multipoint SDK, I have been trying to do a project based on this SDK.

This SDK provides us the capability to use several mice on a single computer(obviously several cursors). Everything is fine, but it has only two controls, namely; Multipoint Button and Multipoint TextBox. Now, what if I need to have my own user control?? Please help me out. I am jus stuck.

Thanks.

Hi,

I got this chart object on my UI thread called 'm_ChartControl'

I got a method called AddAnnotations that will be run on a new thread in my Form_Load method.

Inside my AddAnnotation method there is a line of code that do this.

Annotation a = m_ChartControl.Charts[0].AnnotationList.CreateAnnotation();

But m_ChartControl.Charts[0].AnnotationList.CreateAnnotation(); is in the UI thread.

How do i create a delegate to put it here?

I have tried this.

private delegate Annotation AddAnnotation();
AddAnnotation addNewAnnotation;
private Annotation CreateAnnotation()
{
    return m_ChartControl.Charts[0].AnnotationList.CreateAnnotation();
}
void cAnnotation()
{
    this.Invoke(addNewAnnotation);
}

I changed this to

Annotation a = cAnnotation();

and i get this error

Error 18 Cannot implicitly convert type 'void' to 'Manco.Chart.CF.Layout.Annotation'

SerialPort UART input buffer omits zeroes

Hi,

I need to tranfer hex values through UART. But the problem is the default ASCII encoding of the SerialPort omits zeroes and such values (mostly below 0x14). What do I change this setting to in order to receive all values from 0-255 through the port? Please Help.

For ex: 0x55, 0x55, 0x00, 0x00, 0x55, 0x55 comes through to the PC C# app as UUUU

Regards,

Karthik

If you want to send or receive all possible byte values, then your data isn't text, and you should stay away from all text-oriented methods and classes. So the words "ASCII" and "encoding" do not apply, just use the Read() and Write() methods which deal with byte arrays; they'll handle everything (unless you have set DiscardNull to true).

Smile | :)

@gszakacs : That did it! I set SerialPort.DiscardNull = False and I was able to see all the hex values. I was using code from a previous project where I used 50-50 encoding to transmit data.

Thank you!

I am very new in multithreading. I tried to read some topics but confused with different synchronization techniques used in .net multithreading like Mutex class, semaphore, critical section, event, wait handle and monitor.
Can any body guide me or can we do online conference or is there any in-depth video tutorial in multithreading ?
