"Thin client" can have different connotations, depending on the context and who you're talking to. For example, I do not immediately assume no hard disk when I hear thin client. Just degrees of service. For example wikipedia sez:
"Traditionally, a thin client ran a full operating system for the purposes of connecting to other computers. A newer trend is sometimes called an ultra-thin client or a zero client, which no longer runs a full operating system: the kernel instead merely initializes the network, begins the networking protocol, and handles display of the server's output."
There is nothing related to .NET or C# that would preclude generic thin client apps. For some, this could be a form of any distributed 2-tier or n-tier system. And certainly .NET has a good framework for that. Communications will have to occur somehow, and .NET supports WCF for example, so I don't know if that's what you mean by "special option".

I would recommend looking at Silverlight. http://www.silverlight.net. This subset of .Net and WPF can run on a pretty thin client including Macs. It is very restrictive though when it comes to security. You need to get permission from the user if you wish to access things like the file system.
Hope this helps.

hello needing help in histogram. i come across this particular website which teaches creation of simple histogram. However i am doing coding in c#. Needing some help in correcting as i am stuck.
ref website:
http://www.ehow.com/how_5868540_create-histogram-using-programming-code.html[^]
code:
int numvalues = 20 ;<br />
int [] values = { -3, 2, -2, 4, 5, 4, 2, 5, 4, 5, -1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 4, 2, 0, 7, -3 } ;<br />
<br />
int i = 0, j =0 ;<br />
int maxval = 0 ;<br />
for (i = 0; i < numvalues; i++)<br />
{<br />
if (values[i] > maxval) maxval = values[i] ;<br />
}<br />
int minval = maxval ;<br />
for (i = 0 ; i < numvalues ; i++) {<br />
if (values[i] < minval) minval = values[i] ;<br />
}<br />
int freqsize = maxval - minval + 1 ;<br />
int[] frequency = new int[freqsize];<br />
for (i = 0 ; i < freqsize ; i++) {<br />
frequency[i] = 0 ;<br />
}<br />
<br />
for (i = 0 ; i < numvalues ; i++) {<br />
int index = values[i] - minval ;<br />
frequency[index]++ ;<br />
}<br />
<br />
for (i = 1 ; i <= freqsize ; i++) {<br />
label1.Text= i + minval.ToString();<br />
for(j = 0; j < frequency[i] ; j++) {<br />
label1.Text = "*";<br />
}<br />
label1.Text = ("\n");<br />
}<br />
for the last for loop, i am unsure if i did it correctly. i am suppose to get the output as the ref website.

A quick look says that this:
label1.Text = "*";
should be:
label1.Text = label1.Text + "*";
And
label1.Text = ("\n")
should be:
label1.Text = label1.Text + ("\n")
You need to append the * and \n characters to the existing text - your code just replaces the text with single * at each iteration, then replaces it with \n.
One other point, when posting code use the 'code block' to get highlight it and retain the formatting (i.e. indents).

noted, thanks for the reply. i got this error when i run which is "Index was outside the bounds of the array." May i know whats the problem if you know it?
|

In the last loop i goes from 1 to freqsize, but the array index goes from 0 to freqsize-1.
(It's declared as: int freqsize = maxval - minval + 1  .
Try stepping through the code with the debugger to see what is happening - often helpful when trying to understand the code or solve problems.

Yes, you're right you made a few mistakes in the last loop. It wasn't particularly clear in your example as that was c++ using prontf, and you're trying to write to a label. See blow for corrections.
for (i = 1; i <= freqsize; i++)
{
label1.Text += (i + minval).ToString() + " | ";
for (j = 0; j < frequency[i]; j++)
{
label1.Text += "*";
}
label1.Text += ("\n");
}

i have made changes to the code however still facing problem i dont get the output and there is still this error "Index was outside the bounds of the array." when the last loop is being executed.
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
int numvalues = 20 ;<br />
int [] values = { -3, 2, -2, 4, 5, 4, 2, 5, 4, 5, -1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 4, 2, 0, 7, -3 } ;<br />
<br />
int i = 0;<br />
int maxval = 0 ;<br />
for (i = 0; i < numvalues; i++)<br />
{<br />
if (values[i] > maxval) <br />
maxval = values[i] ;<br />
}<br />
int minval = maxval ;<br />
for (i = 0 ; i < numvalues ; i++) {<br />
if (values[i] < minval) <br />
minval = values[i] ;<br />
}<br />
int freqsize = maxval - minval + 1 ;<br />
int[] frequency = new int[freqsize];<br />
for (i = 0 ; i < freqsize ; i++) {<br />
frequency[i] = 0 ;<br />
}<br />
<br />
for (i = 0 ; i < numvalues ; i++) {<br />
int index = values[i] - minval ;<br />
frequency[index]++ ;<br />
}<br />
<br />
for (i = 1; i <= freqsize; i++)<br />
{<br />
label1.Text += (i + minval).ToString() + " | ";<br />
for (int j = 0; j < frequency[i]; j++)<br />
{<br />
label1.Text += "*";<br />
}<br />
label1.Text += ("\n");<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
}

I feel like I'm helping someone do his homework...
Take a look at your last loop around freqsize and see if you find anything suspicious...
Also, if you cannot see it, throw it in the debugger and you'll find the issue pretty quickly, maybe you can step through the code. Try using a values array with 0 numbers, 1 number, 2 numbers.

I use the WebClient to download file to local disk, but it cannot write the data to file. I see that the file is created by program, but its size is still zero. Then the file is deleted by the program. I debug the program, and the URL is right. I can open the image using the IE.
why?

That sounds a bit strange, as creating a file is more critical than writing to a file. Either you simply forgot to write to the file, or your observation is wrong and the file has been there for some time already.
Check the datetimes of your file, make sure for all operations that return a status the status gets checked, do not swallow exceptions, etc. Use your debugger to look at the program flow, and watch intermediate results. If you can't locate the problem, show us the relevant piece of your code.

sorry, my other post wasn't clear ...
hello, i want to create a more complex highscore board that displays the playname and score in labels!
currently i have a datagrid which is displaying my data as a test, here is my code for that:
OLEDataConnector Dat = new OLEDataConnector("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=\"Highscore.accdb\";Persist Security Info=False;");
DataTable Dt = new DataTable();
Dat.dataSelect("select Playername, Score, LevelNumber from score order by score desc", ref Dt);
dataGridView1.DataSource = Dt.DefaultView;
its a microsoft access database and i need to get around 10 rows if they are in the database to be put onto my highscore board ...
So what i want is the playername of the record to be put into one label and the other as a score in another label, obviosuly they will move around using the query, :P
Any help? as i can't find anything on this that is of any use.... Thanks

Why use labels at all? Why not just get the data and draw the text on a panel yourself?
You can't bind a list of data to automatically create an array of labels for you. You have to copy the text from each record from the database to each label where it belongs. It's easier to just draw it yourself.

Well the DataTable that you have created in your code has a Rows[^] property.
What you can do is iterate over this collection (there is an example in the link above) and for each DataRow, create your two Labels and add them to your form. You will have to keep track of the X and Y coordinates so that you can position them properly.
I could write the code out for you, but that really wouldn't help you learn. Have a go and if you get stuck, or you don't understand, please come back to me.
Good luck.

hello, i can't get it to work and i have spent another 3 hours trying differant ways lol, can you help me ?

Something like:
Label nameLabel = null;
Label scoreLabel = null;
int nameX = 10;
int nameY = 10;
readonly int nameWidth = 70;
int scoreX = 85;
int scoreY = 10;
int listCount = 1;
foreach(DataRow row in dt.Rows)
{
nameLabel = new Label();
nameLabel.Width = nameWidth;
nameLabel.Text = row["PlayerName"].Value.ToString();
nameLabel.Location = new Point(nameX, nameY);
this.Controls.Add(nameLabel)
nameY += nameLabel.Height + 5;
........................
........................
........................
........................
listCount++;
if (listCount > 10)
{
break;
}
}
That is roughly right but I'm doing it off the top of my head and it is very late here, so forgive any syntax errors.
Good luck.

I have an app that I'm workin on on 3 different computers. Each has it's own connection string. It's a pain to try to get the rigt conn string plugged in. What's the right way to deal with this?

Look at your project in VS, and open "Properties" in the Solution Explorer (It should be just above "Resources").
Double click on "Settings.Settings", and create a string called "ConnectionString".
In your app:
Properties.Settings.Default.Reload();
string connString = Properties.Settings.Default.ConnectionString; To write a changed one, use:
Properties.Settings.Default.ConnectionString = myNewConnectionString;
Properties.Settings.Default.Save(); This can be different for each PC, and can be set as part of the setup installation - it is in an XML file in the App .EXE directory.

Ya but what about from a development standpoint? I would like my app to "know" what PC I'm on and just find the right conn string.

What makes it the "right" connection string?
Either there is something which identifies the PC and says "My connection string is 'xxx'" or you have to create a string on the fly. Or store a different string on each PC, either via the settings or via the registry - settings is easier and more modern.
There are various things you can read on the PC to identify it as "this pc", or "this user", but what says "this connection string"?

This does:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="Office"
connectionString="Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=TDC;Integrated Security=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
<add name="Home"
connectionString="Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=TDC;Integrated Security=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
<add name="Clients_PC"
connectionString="Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=TDC;Integrated Security=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
</configuration>
What I was considering doing was poping up an simple UI with a list of the 3 key names. Then IO can pick one and it's used for the duration of that session. When I'm done with the app, disable the UI and use the Client's connstring.

Provided you have a property, or method, that returns the connection string you could have something like:
private string ConnectionString
{
get
{
#IF DEBUG
if(System.Environment.MachineName == ???)
return Configuration.ConnectionString["Home"];
...
#ELSE
return Configuration.ConnectionString["Client_PC"];
#END
}
}
