Services and object orientation do not play well together.
I don't think it is desirable (I'm not sure it is even possible) to pass up a Test<object>.
The list / array needs to be of a known type, passing up a Test<Base> is certainly an option in WCF, but you need to register A and B as KnownTypes. What you have done gives off a "bad code smell", the class structure is perfectly fine from an OO point of view (I'm not sure of the purpose of Test<Object> or CustomCollection however), but when calling services it is much better to use well defined types for making calls, and the onus is on the server to provide these types. Addtionally [if memory serves] custom collections / Lists are frowned upon in asmx services as they won't interop well with Java etc.
The normal pattern with services is:
1. Define types that can be passed up and down the wire in web service calls.
2. Make method calls that use the defined types in step 1.
3. Use Wsdl.exe to generate a proxy class to communicate with the web (asmx) service
You then will probably need to convert the types passed up and down the wire into your proper object model.

Hi,
I've written a number of Crystal reports, and I would like to get my report viewer to bind the report on change of dropdown. This does work, however for each one change it asks for the parameter information again. Below is my source - the parameters are the same across all reports and are held in session:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if ((ViewState["ParametersShown"] != null) &&
(ViewState["ParametersShown"].ToString() == "True"))
{
ReportListing myListing = new ReportListing();
BindReport("MYPATH" + myListing.GetReportFileName(Session["Report"].ToString()));
}
}
protected void btnBuild_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DateTime startDate = DateTime.Parse(Session["FromDate"].ToString());
DateTime endDate = DateTime.Parse(Session["ToDate"].ToString());
ParameterFields paramFields = new ParameterFields();
ParameterField crStartDate = new ParameterField();
ParameterField crEndDate = new ParameterField();
crStartDate.Name = "@StartDate";
crEndDate.Name = "@EndDate";
ParameterDiscreteValue dcrStartDate = new ParameterDiscreteValue();
ParameterDiscreteValue dcrEndDate = new ParameterDiscreteValue();
dcrStartDate.Value = startDate;
dcrEndDate.Value = endDate;
crStartDate.CurrentValues.Add(dcrStartDate);
crEndDate.CurrentValues.Add(dcrEndDate);
paramFields.Add(crStartDate);
paramFields.Add(crEndDate);
CrystalReportViewer1.ParameterFieldInfo = paramFields;
ReportListing myListing = new ReportListing();
BindReport("MYPATH" + myListing.GetReportFileName(Session["Report"].ToString()));
ViewState["ParametersShown"] = "True";
}
private void BindReport(string FilePath)
{
ReportDocument Report = new ReportDocument();
Report.Load(FilePath);
SetTableLocation(Report.Database.Tables);
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = Report;
}
private void SetTableLocation(Tables tables)
{
ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
connectionInfo.ServerName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ReportDBServerName"].ToString();
connectionInfo.DatabaseName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ReportDBDBName"].ToString();
connectionInfo.UserID = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ReportDBUserID"].ToString();
connectionInfo.Password = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ReportDBPassword"].ToString();
foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table table in tables)
{
TableLogOnInfo tableLogOnInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
tableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
table.ApplyLogOnInfo(tableLogOnInfo);
}
}

Hi James if want to pass same vaules to multiple times just save that values in cache and pass them when it required

Hi,
I have a 'C' API with signature as :
int Init(myStruct* struct, void** pHandle);
This pHandle is to be given as input in subsequent APIs.
My problem is that I have to access this in C#.
Any ideas how to do this ?
|
|
|
|
|
This can be done with p/Invoke. You'll find a lot of examples on this if you google.
Good luck!

Hey Richard,
thanks for the reply. I have added some more explanation in my query. Can you have a look & let me know if it is OK or not ?
Thanks

Some more details :
'C' code :
-----------
int Init(myStruct* struct1, void** pHandle)
{
<...some code...>
*pHandle = sess_open(struct1, &session);
<...some code...>
}
'C#' code :
-------------
Declaration:
--------------
[DllImport("My_C_Library.dll")]
public static extern int MY_CSHARP_INIT(myStruct* struct1, ref System.IntPtr[] Session_pp);
Implementation:
----------------
public int MY_CSHARP_INIT(myStruct* struct1, ref System.IntPtr[] Session_pp)
{
int ret_val = Init(struct1, ref Session_pp);
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This gives a Exception as "Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any help appreciated.

You are trying to pass a pointer to a C# (i.e. managed) struct as an unmanaged reference, which will not work. You need to look at the marshalling options to see how the C code can access your C# objects. I have a suspicion that you cannot do it this way, but would need to convert your struct to some sort of basic array for the unmanaged (i.e. C) code to be able to access it.

Hi,
two parameters using pointers, that is two potential problems. Try to split the job in halves, if you own the native code, experiment with a single parameter first.
For the struct pointer, I would opt for ref myStruct.
For the array of pointers, if the managed side does not NEED to know it is an array, just make it an IntPtr; if it must operate on array elements, the only easy way I know of is by:
- somehow knowing the element count (if need be, add another method to obtain it from the native world);
- then allocate the array on the managed side;
- then pass its pointer to the native world, which I prefer to handle with a GCHandle, GCHandleType.Pinned, AddrOfPinnedObject.
Conclusion: you may not even need unsafe code.

Try this
foreach (Control ctl in groupBox1.Controls)
{
TextBox txt = ctl as TextBox;
if (txt != null)
{
txt.Text = string.Empty;
}
}

what do you mean by "the worker thread"?
The main thread (a.k.a. GUI thread) is the one executing event handlers such as a Button_Click() method. When you want extra threads, you create them by instantiating Thread class, or by calling ThreadPool methods, or by instantiating BackgroundWorker class. All of them are supposed to:
1. not interfere with the main thread
2. not touch GUI Controls, as only the main thread should be allowed to touch them.
Getting another thread to access the Controls anyway requires a special technique as described here[^] . When Control.Invoke gets called, the caller effectively will be blocked until the GUI thread has executed the invoked method.
I hipe that is what you need.

If the event handler is in another thread, then no, it doesn't.

Yes and no. Don't they all start out on the GUI thread and if he chooses he can spin off threads to do other stuff? But the messages all come into the pump in order and the events fire in order, yes?
I don't see how things would happen out of order unless he did something he didn't mean to do.
As with your other response; why spin off a thread if you don't want asynchronous processing?
At any rate, I don't understand the question.

You could suspend the thread at the beginning of the event handler, and continue the thread at the end of the handler. But if you do that, you've essentially eliminated the benefit of using multithreading.
