I've seen similar things happens when attempting to close a serial port read thread at form close.
What I do now is allow the reader thread to close the port and wait in the UI thread until the reader thread has exited. Like this:
private void ReadWriteThreadProc() {
continueLooping = 1;
try {
while (continueLooping != 0) {
try {
received = com.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
} catch (TimeoutException) {
}
}
} finally {
com.Close();
}
}
public void CloseCom() {
Interlocked.Exchange(ref continueLooping, 0);
ReadWriteThread.Join();
}
The timeout is rather crucial as it ensures that the exit condition is polled.
Alan.

Are you using a serial port, or a USB-to-serial converter? The SerialPort object in .Net does not behave well at all if a port is open on a USB-to-serial converter that is unplugged. I don't know any good libraries, but I'm sure they're out there. For my application, I coded a silly little helper application which acts as a bridge between a TCP socket and a .net SerialPort object; if the SerialPort object dies, the helper application quits without jinxing the main app.

Hello,
I am a experienced C# developer and I have good knowledges about security and viruss.
I started this project a week ago, i finished some parts like scanner that read the file Hex and compare some parts to our ScannerDatabase.
What i need is some one to help in some things, like getting Trojan keys in the registry after detecting it, and also i need a security expert so he can show me how does trojan hide in other processes like Internet Explorer.
Tanck you, and i am waiting for your replies  .

Start the executable, grab it's mainwindow, and use the SetParent-API.

I am writing a mobile device program for my university coursework but I am coming up against a few problems or limitations, I am not sure which, the two problems which I am finding is that I do not have some functionality which I normally have when writing for normal windows forms. The two problems I have is when I try and assign an Enum to a combo box,
Private Enum X
//Set of enums
End Enum
ComboBox1.DataSource = Enum.GetValues(GetType(x))
I am finding that I am not able to uses the "GetValues" or "GetTypes" of the enum functionality, which means that I can’t populate the combo box correctly. This is also found when the ImageConverter function which exists for normal windows form but doesn't exists when writing for the mobile framework.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It is annoying but that is the limitations of the compact framework - Missing properties and methods so you have to be more creative!
How about using a list as the source or failing that a generic routine to populate a combo box.
Try posting in the Mobile forum. They may have more for you.

I've been able to do it by using AddRange
Array arr = System.Enum.GetValues(typeof(MyEnum));
object[] oArr = new object[arr.length];
arr.CopyTo(oArr, 0);
combobox1.Items.AddRange(arr);

I am creating a snake game on the console (c#)(it is a school assignment and it has to be on console) but I’m struggling with the change of direction and this is because I can’t figure out how to use an eventhandler with keydown properly in console.
I’ve put together some mock up code below which more or less explains what I try to accomplish
I have tried several things but it is tricky to do on the console.
Any hints, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
void KeyDown(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if(e.thepressedkey == Right.Arrow)
method_a()
if(e.thepressedkey == Left.Arrow)
method_b()
}
void a()
{
while(something)
{
snake.moveright();
thread.sleep(500);
}
}
void b()
{
while(something)
{
snake.moveleft ();
thread.sleep(500);
}
}

You would need something along the lines of:
bool GameIsOn = true;
while (GameIsOn)
{
if (Console.KeyAvailable)
{
ConsoleKeyInfo key = Console.ReadKey(true);
switch (key.Key)
{
case ConsoleKey.LeftArrow:
{
}
case ConsoleKey.RightArrow:
{
}
case ConsoleKey.UpArrow:
{
}
case ConsoleKey.DownArrow:
{
}
case ConsoleKey.Escape:
{
GameIsOn = false;
}
default:
{ }
}
}
}

Hi thanks!
I have actually tried that and that is almost what a want, however I'd like it to tick.
With this method you have have to press once for each step. I would like to start a loop of steps that loops until another directional key is pressed.
Any more thoughts?

Pffft!
You got me interested in writing the game myself now!
I'll probably post it as an article in a week or so.
But the way I'd do it is as follows:
void RunGame()
{
while (GameIsOn)
{
if (Console.KeyAvailable)
{
ConsoleKeyInfo key = Console.ReadKey(true);
switch (key.Key)
{
case ConsoleKey.LeftArrow:
CharacterDirection = Direction.Left;
break;
case ConsoleKey.RightArrow:
CharacterDirection = Direction.Right;
break;
case ConsoleKey.UpArrow:
CharacterDirection = Direction.Up;
break;
case ConsoleKey.DownArrow:
CharacterDirection = Direction.Down;
break;
case ConsoleKey.Escape:
GameIsOn = false;
break;
default:
break;
}
#endregion
}
AdvanceStep();
CheckCollision();
Thread.Sleep(100);
}
}
Now in the AdvanceStep() method you're going to have calculate the new position of the cursor and Console.Write() the new character placeholder. This will "tick" in the sense that you will see the character move in whatever direction you first choose, ten steps in 1 second. You can make that faster or slower based on the number of milliseconds you let that thread sleep.
There are things that you have to bear in mind. The Character's initial position [ (0,0) vs centre point ] the character's initial direction and so on. If for example you set the initial position at (0,0) and the initial direction is Right, then the character will move to the right (x-axis change only) until a button is pressed that will alter the direction.
If there are many attributes that you would like to add to your character, such as the length of the tail (we are talking about a snake-clone, right?), and also a history of the turns that were made (so that the tail will also turn at the correct locations) you might want to break into a class and if the list of positions can be lengthy (as can easily happen on a "big screen" with an expert player) then you might want to break that into its own vector class list.
If you have anymore questions, post some code as well, and we'll see how we can help you with where you are stuck

Glad to have helped
If you have anymore questions, we, and especially I, will be glad to help.
Check back in a week or so and see if I posted the article by then, then you can compare notes
Best of luck with your assignment.

Hi everyone.
This is probably something I should be able to figure out by myself, but I'm not having much luck so I figured I'd ask.
The issue: I'm translating a system from java to C# and they use a java framework[^] that I'd really like to use, since it takes care of the most complex parts of the system, which I would otherwise have to implement myself. I have the source code of this framework.
I know there are several possibilities for using java libraries in C# (although I'm not familiar with any of them, so I'd appreciate suggestions). So far I've thought of using IKVM.NET[^] to generate a .dll, but I'm not sure what to do next, because in java in order to run the framework with your code you're supposed to use the option -javaagent[^] by adding
-javaagent:bin/deuceAgent.jar (where deuceAgent is the framework) to your java command line. I don't know what the equivalent in C# would be once I have my .dll, or whether there's an equivalent at all.
Any help? Thanks so much.

Hi all,
can anybody help me out here by providing me a solution.
I want to set a focus to masked TextBox control displayed over a cell in CellBeginEdit event.
MaskedTextbox.focus() is not working here
can anybody help me out ???
|
|
|
|
|
Do it using gridviews findcontrol method.
|
|
|
|
|
I have already tried that but no success 
Control[] ctrl = datagridview.Controls.Find("name of textbox", true);
ctrl[0].Focus();
|
|
|
|
|
Try it like this.
MaskTextBox mt=datagridview.row[0].FindControl("nameof textbox")
mt.setFouus().
Hope this works.
|
|
|
|
|
there is no funciton like FindControl for datagridview
and there's no function like setFocus() for maskedtextbox
so r u serious in giving this solution?
|
|
|
|
|
sorry for the late reply. But i just did the same.
t1 = GridView1.Rows(0).FindControl("InstallmentDec")
t1.Text = dt.Rows(0)(12).ToString()
Its working for me.
Here use Foucus function in place of setting text will work fine.
