Is there any thing like "De register the event once it is served" ?

Yes - you can remove the handler in the same way you add them, but using -= instead of +=.
If for example it was a Timer event you would add with:

tim.Tick += new EventHandler(tim_Tick);

and remove it with:

tim.Tick -= tim_Tick;

No, timeout is a property just like all others. You can set it once, it will hold its value.

Deepak.Prahlad wrote:
Read timeout timer starts when the first characeter arrives at the hardware buffer

No, read timeout starts when a read operation starts. The behavior you are referring to exists in Windows but AFAIK is not exposed to the SerialPort class.

Deepak.Prahlad wrote:
thread locking in DataReceived event

DataReceived is an asynchronous event; as such it is handled by a ThreadPool thread, which is not allowed to touch the Winform Controls directly. See this[^] and this[^] article.

One can never be sure that all the serial data that belongs together (a "message") will be received in one go; there always could be a hick-up somewhere, causing the message to be split over two DataReceived events. One approach that often leads to success is by having some delay between the start of the DataReceived event and the actual reading of the data.

You could try creating a class that inherits from the control and provide the functionality there.

If the control is disabled, none of those events fire. Like John said, you'd have to implement your own button class to support this. You'd be creating a button that never really disables. You'd keep track of the Enabled state as in a normal button, and keep certain events running while "disabling" others, like Click DoubleClick, MouseDown, MouseUp, ..., if the control is disabled. You'd also have to custom paint the button to show that it is "disabled" or not.

Yep. I didn't say it was worth it, I just said it could be done. Frankly, I can find no value in knowing that the mouse is over a button that's disabled. Sounds like he's trying to use it for something not-so-well-thought-out.

Yeah, I can see that too... almost. Still, when I see a greyed out control, I don't even bother testing it for some obscure functionality. it just gets skipped until it want's to respond.

It's possible that your application logic may be wrong. Why respond to events on a disabled button? Standard for windows is that disabled objects raise no events, so it has to be some really good reason to go against the flow. Also it will confuse your end users.
As has been said, you could write your own button, but why buck the trend?

If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.

I don't get what the problem is?
Where do you fail in your attempt to copy the data from your textboxes?
You access the data in a textbox by using the Text property..

text1.text = I
text2.text = am
text3.text - jawad

now i want to save these 3 textboxes data in one field

Just concatenate your textbox content to a string:

string theString = string.Empty;
text1.Text = "I";
text2.Text = "am";
text3.Text = "jawad";
theString = text1.Text + text2.Text + text3.Text;

Still not sure if this is what you're after though.. Confused | :confused:

SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, conn);

Okay, and what is the error your receiving?
Do you really want the concatenated string to look like this (if txtrate=theRating, txtweight=theWeight)?
theRating'&&'theWeight

Or do you want:
theRating&&theWeight

Check the part where you put your strings together.

If you want to use a ' in your concatenated string you have to use double '' like this:

string query = "insert into Data(Product,discription) values('" + textBox1.Text + "','" + textBox2.Text + "''&& ''" + textBox3.Text + "')";

Network licence

11-Mar-10 18:39

I am developing some engineering software. It is going quite well and I want to implement network licencing as the copyright protection system for my program. this seems to be the standard for software in my industry basically I believe it works by giving the server a fixed number of licences and it dishes them out to users as required. A popular drafting program, autocad, works like this.

My problem is that I have no idea how to implement this in my program. I am not experianced with dealing with servers and cannot find any example code to work with. I have found code that implements licenceing by handing out a key with the software but it isn't as secure as I would like.

Can anyone help me out with some open source software? Would also be interested in commercial software.

Thanks
