That will always return 0.
The unchecked (UInt16) cast throws away the higher-order bits - but NetworkToHostOrder just swapped the byte order, so ALL the input bits will be thrown away.
I'm not sure what he wanted to do in the first place.

Not really, the overload with a short as input also has a short as result, so he's really just casting a short to an ushort
|
|
|
|

Oh, I didn't know there were multiple overloads. I thought it was for 32-bits only (as that's the size of an IPAddress), casting from int to ushort.
|
|
|
|
|
In that case you would have been right, of course
I suppose this overload can be useful for port numbers, I'm not sure why there is an overload for longs as well though..

I have written a User Control and made it dll from a classLibrary Project.
This User Control get the Name of the Form (in Project that we use this dll) in textbox1 and then do something with the controls on this form. Now my question is how i can Cast textbox1.Text (of this user control) to Form ?
|
|
|
|
|
Well, for one thing, you could pass in the form object into the user control itself.

This is rarely a good idea. If the user control needs acces to a Form object, it should have a Form property OR extend the Form class.
Also when the user control is dropped onto a form (or other container) in the designer, a parameterless constructor is used/needed.

You can use the Parent property to access the container the user control is in - this may or may not be a form... it could be a groupbox, a panel etc, you can check by using is or as. If it's not a form, check the parent's parent etc etc...
This is normally the wrong way round of doing things though as you will effectively be coupling your user control to a form and if you want to manipulate other controls on the form then you will be coupling to those too. If your control is then used in a different container and/or the expected controls aren't present you will end up with problems. A better solution is to expose events, properties and methods in your user control that it's host form can access, then the host form can control all it's controls including your user control.
If you are wanting a 'controller' form with your user control acting as the controller - you would be better to create a custom form for this purpose rather than a user control IMO.

see i use this user control in FormA and when the project runs it gets any form name execpt itself(the form that has this user control) in textbox1 (this textbox1 is also in the user control)and then the user control brings out all control on that form and show all properties of that control.
I have used this code in User Control:
Type type = Type.GetType(txtFormName.Text, false, true);
Form frm = Activator.CreateInstance(type) as Form;
I get this error :
Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: type.
Alert :
This user control has been made in another project and i have build DLL and now I use this DLL in my another projects.

Very good day all,
Is there a built in control & classes in C# allow me to draw a circle "dynamically"?
like the image in this link?
thank you!

Yes there is, in a windows form app you can:
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Pen pen = new Pen(Color.Black, 3);
Graphics gfx = this.CreateGraphics();
gfx.DrawEllipse(pen, 20, 20, 50, 50);
}
That should get you on the right track 
|

I made a slight mistake in my last reply, you should actually add the code to the form "paint" event:
private void Form1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
Pen pen = new Pen(Color.Black, 3);
Graphics gfx = this.CreateGraphics();
gfx.DrawEllipse(pen, 20, 20, 50, 50);
}
as the form "load" event doesnt apply graphical effects it just initialises its base values.

Thanks , I have modfied that , it helps
now , the key thing how to create those node on to of them?
|

A couple of points...
1. Your pen should be disposed (or better still enclosed in a using block.)
2. Any graphics object you create yourself should also be disposed (gfx)
2b. Creating grapics is 'expensive', there is already a Graphics object in e.
3. Better to override the OnPaint method.
3b. You should call the base's method at a suitable location.
so the code would become...
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
using (Pen pen = new Pen(Color.Black, 3))
{
e.Graphics.DrawEllipse(pen, 20, 20, 50, 50);
}
base.OnPaint(e);
}

Hi Dave,
DaveyM69 wrote: You should call the base's method at a suitable location
Really? I never do that for Paint, and neither does this MSDN example[^].
So my questions are: why? what does it do for me? and if so, what is "a suitable location"?

Because otherwise (if overriding OnPaint rather than handling the Paint event) the Paint event will not get raised. I normally do it at the end of the method i.e. after all painting, however if there is some custom action that needs doing after all paint handlers have finished then base.OnPaint(e) should be called before then.
Edit: I've just followed the link a reread your post - In my point before I had suggested overriding OnPaint rather than handling the Paint event which is where the confusion comes from!
I prefer to override OnPaint if painting as I can be sure that no subscribers to the Paint event will be called until I've done with painting. If I paint in the Paint event handler then other subscribers may already have been notified yet my painting hasn't even begun!

hi......
i want to protect my application with licence key....in Xaml
can anyone help mee....
thanquuu...

Its pretty simple, make some random characters using a random number generator and specify how many you want?
Random ran = new Random();
string mySerial = string.Empty;
int serialLength = 12;
for (int i = 0; i < serialLength;i++)
{
int ascii = ran.Next(70,90);
char myChar = (char)ascii;
mySerial += myChar.ToString();
}
A bit like that, next time lookup the problem.

Why do you say you want it in XAML? XAML is a markup language - pure and simple.

I have develop one window application in C#.Net. I want to create a trial version for 15 Days. How can I do.
|
|
|
|
|
You can use preprocessors for example you could place this statement before your declare the namespaces:
#define TRIAL
using System..... ect
and in the form load event you could:
#if TRIAL
if (firstusedate.days < firstusedate.days + 15)
{
MessageBox.Show("Sorry trial expired");
System.Thread.Sleep(3000);
}
#endif
My answer is pretty vague but you should get the idea, feel free to ask if there is still some problems

|

I don't think anyone is going to get the idea because what you propose only does anything at compile time. It doesn't protect the app at all.
|
|
|
|
|
I see the app is not being built as a trial, but a dynamic trial based app.

First When U installed Your Software you must have to insert the Date any where either in Database or Text File or System Registry. When Person Start The Software Check That and +15 and Current Date Of System When Your Insert
Date+15=CurrentDate The Close That Software or any Message trial Period of your Software is Over. Application.Exit(),Application.ExitThread().
Thanku Dinesh
