What you've presented is gibberish to me.
I want to know what you are trying to accomplish, not how you are trying to accomplish it (especially if it doesn't work).
0) Is there a database?
1) Is there a table in the database?
2) Are you trying to retrieve some information from that database table?
3) What is the schema of the table?

If you mean that the parameter tableName will be the name of class whose object you need to create, you can make use of reflection.

Reflection? I havnt used that before...can u elaborate on it plz. Thanks

Hi,
I am trying to set the IPConnectionMetric parameter of a network adapter in Windows 7. The method that I need to use is the "SetIPConnectionMetric" in the Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration class.
The problem is that the method returns an error code of 91 - Access Denied in Windows 7. However, this method works fine on Windows XP.
Can someone give me pointers to a solution? I played around with the Local Security Policies, but couldn't find anything 
Here is more information about the method: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa393303%28v=VS.85%29.aspx[^]
Thanks,
Karthik

Hi dear fellow developers,
I'm developing a new subsystem, where I need a list of search results. The list will contain more or less different object types, and as in ListBox I need the ability to click on the listed object, which can send the selected object to the propriated GUI; e.g.:
-------------------------------------
| <Adress object> |
| <Customer object> |
| <Customer object> |
| <Customer object> |
| <Adress object> |
| <Customer object> |
-------------------------------------
When clicking on Customer object, the customer gui will be shown with the selected object information inside. And when clicking on Adress object the adress gui will be shown with the selected object information inside, and so forth will all type of objects on the list.
I have looked at following lists:
Listbox:
This form of list couldn't make the tab index for making overview of different objects easier (As an last chance, I could use different colors, but the tabs wouldn't work still).
TreeView:
The view form are perfect and easy to make an overview with, but it seems like an disanvantage when getting to the click events, since it doesn't have the "SelectItem" object function.
ListView:
Havn't seen much on this one yet. Sounded like an solution to my needs, but doubt since it seems to have the split screen information, which showing information or contains of the left screen selection.
Any with some experience who could calculate which type of list for my needs here? Please help.
Best regards

I do not fully understand your objection to the TreeView Control.
Consider any of the many C# Explorer clones you can find on the web. They all have a TreeView in one pane and when you click on any of the nodes the appropriate information is displayed in another pane. It doesn't matter whether a Folder node or a File node is clicked.

the whole idea with using TreeView, is to have Aparment object as parent, and customer names as children. When the user db. click apartment object, the apartment GUI will open with the selected object information in the apartment information fields. And if the user db. click customer, the customer GUI will open with the selected customer information filled into the fields.
Did it make it any clear, or still confusion about my use of the treeview?

You can store the item in the Tag property, that's what I do.
|
|
|
|

I'll try to use the tag function then, and see how it works. I'm used to ListBox's and items in it, so I think it just need another pov to understand the TreeView with tags. But thnx for your suggestion.
|

TreeView's way is better.

Ye I guess it might be, when you first explore the way they work, and figure tag functions

So, I gave this a try today for my ImageViewer UserControl (See my articles for more detail on it). And people have requested me to implement Multi-Page TIFF support.
Now I have been trying lots of different techniques for it but none of them seem to really work. My UserControl accepts images in 2 different ways. By passing in a FilePath or an Image through properties. Both these properties end up with having storing the image into a Bitmap.
Now this Bitmap is used in my Draw methods and if I try to do a SelectActiveFrame() it crashes on me with GDI+ An generic error has occured ExternalException (0x80004005).
What I tried to do is creating a new Bitmap of the original and then doing the SelectActiveFrame() and that did not crash. However it did not display either.
Here is a sample of my code from my DrawObject class:
pages = this.bmp.GetFrameCount(System.Drawing.Imaging.FrameDimension.Page);
currentPage = 0;
if (pages > 1) { multiPage = true; } else { multiPage = false; }
public void NextPage()
{
try
{
if (this.bmp != null)
{
int nextPage = this.currentPage + 1;
if (nextPage <= this.pages)
{
Bitmap myImg = new Bitmap(this.bmp);
myImg.SelectActiveFrame(System.Drawing.Imaging.FrameDimension.Page, nextPage);
this.bmp.Dispose();
this.bmp = null;
this.bmp = myImg;
currentPage = nextPage;
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("ImageViewer error: " + ex.ToString());
}
}
And here is the code that calls the NextPage() function:
drawing.NextPage();
pbFull.Refresh();
UpdatePanels(true);
And PreviousPage() is exactly the same but with a minus ofcourse.
Any help would be much appreciated, I've been staring at it for hours now

Hi,
I don't expect "new Bitmap(image)" to return a multi-page image, so what you should try is select the page you want in the original image, then create a new bitmap from it.
there are some CodeProjects about multi-page TIFF images, here[^] is one.
|
|
|
|
|
Well that is exactly what I tried to do Originally, and I already looked at the exact multi-page tiff viewer. The problem is, within the viewer when switching to the next page it loads the entire TIFF file again and then makes a Bitmap of it.
The problem with this is, my UserControl doesn't neccesarily has to have a file path (Because it can be passed in programmetically aswell). And to store the original TIFF file next to the Bitmap it would mean that I need double the resource for the same image. And once the TIFF file is loaded, there is no way to tell when opening a new image (going to next page for example) if it's
A.) The same TIFF file.
B.) Actually a Multi-Page TIFF file.
What this means is that I have no idea when to Dispose() the original TIFF file which would result in using unneccesary resources. With Multi-page TIFF files this could be ALOT!
I also tried Cloning the object but when I do that it gets locked and I get the same GDI+ generic error. Believe me I tried so many things.
I was just hoping someone would be like.. You forgot this little line.
Thanks for your help tho

I don't think so. You load the (multi-page) image once, and keep one (or more) references to it; and you need a bitmap that represents one page, that will cost you a fraction of the multi-page image.
You could encapsulate things in a little class (more error handling may be needed):
class MultiPageImage {
private Image image;
public Image Image {
get {
return image;
}
set {
if (image!=null) image.Dispose;
image=value;
}
}
public Bitmap GetBitmap() {
if (image==null) return null;
return new Bitmap(image);
}
public Bitmap GetBitmap(int pageNumber) {
if (image==null) return null;
image.SelectActiveFrame(System.Drawing.Imaging.FrameDimension.Page, nextPage);
return new Bitmap(image);
}
}
Warning: if you don't actually copy the multi-page image, the current page setting is affecting both this class and the external image users. For perfect encapsulation, one would have to copy the image in the setter property.

Damn.. Unbelievable, I just implemented this entire thing. Took like half an hour to find out that it gives me the exact same error. {"A generic error occurred in GDI+."} System.Exception {System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException}
Any other ideas?

What happened to your other message, the one with:
Jordy "Kaiwa" Ruiter wrote: Woah.. You're right! Why didn't I think of something like that? Well I'm gonna give it a try then
I think I've stared at the same code for too long to come up with this! I'll let you know the outcome!
you are not supposed to remove messages, just keep the thread flow intact, as laid out in the forum guidelines.
Jordy "Kaiwa" Ruiter wrote: the exact same error.
you should provide more information; where does this occur? under what circumstances?
is it always the same frame of the same image that fails? try some others. What is the source of your multiTIFF?
Everything that fails inside GDI+ is reported as a "Generic error", making it hard to pinpoint. Is there some other utility that reads and shows all pages correctly?
If you suspect an early Dispose() call, just remove them all to see if that helps; this is only a test, NOT a recommendation.

Ah sorry, I figured a double post wasn't really nice either. But anyway. I found a "fix". It seems that if I use Bitmap.FromFile() to open the TIFF file that browsing through pages is possible.
And the first post explained exactly the issue, with it being the same error i ment the same function that crashes SelectActiveFrame()
I'm going to try and work it out with Bitmap.FromFile() instead of Bitmap.FromStream().
|
|
|
|
|
IIRC there is a little note in the FromStream() documentation that states one should keep the stream open as long as the image is alive; you now have discovered a very good reason for this unexplained statement.
|
|
|
|

That actually makes alot of sense yes. I solved it with a different approach just working out the last issues with dragging and dropping
Thanks for your help! (A copy of the code will soon be updated in my article if you are interested  )

Hi,
I am working on a website and on the home page we have a pdf file link. The moment user clicks on that link the control takes the user to new URL, also displays the URL in the Address line of Browser, where the PDF file exists. However I don't want to show this URL to user, so that he can't copy and paste that URL in another browser.
Is there any way possible to hide such details or is it possible to just download the pdf without showing the URL (one where PDF file actually exists) in the address line of the browser. If user is able to download also it is fine. The only thing we need is to hide the URL.
Thanks in Advance!!

|
|
you can zip that pdf then user download it wirhout opening in another browser
|
|
|
|
|
You can use the Content-Disposition HTTP header to force the file to download and not open in the browser. No zipping required.
