If you're using WinForms, set AutoCompleteMode = Suggest, AutoCompleteSource = CustomSource and AutoCompleteCustomSource = (your list).

Hi I have created the usercontrol which is having autocomplete feature. It contains the controls combobox and listbox in the user control. I can't use the default autocompelete feature of the combobox or textbox due to some client's issue.
The user control is then implemented in the form which is having tablelayoutpanel control. But the issue is that the listbox is hiding in the tablelayoutpanel control.
I tried to set "Bring to front" of listbox/usercontrol. But could not solve the issue. Even I used setchildIndex but not useful.
Is there anything I can do to solve the issue?

have you tried setting the minimum size so that the control can't 'shrink' down so far as to hide its component controls?

I did not find any property to set the minimum height of the control. Can you please explain how can we do that?

I am assuming you are working in winforms
The UserControl class (from which I assume you are inheriting) exposes a MinimumSize property of type Size which, in turn, exposes height and width int properties

I tried with minimum height. Its not solving my issue.

Hi all,
I am in the process of coding a generic wrapper class that adds some metadata and functionality to a generic value (unconstrained). I would prefer the equality of this wrapper to simply pass through to the underlying value.
As a result the equals and getHashCode overrides are as follows
public override bool Equals(object obj)
{
return _value.Equals(obj);
}
public override int GetHshCode()
{
return _value.GetHashCode();
}
My concern here is that, as _value is not read-only, we now have a hash code that could potentially change.
Am i right to be concerned about this with regard to housing the class within collections or using it within LINQ statements? (IIRC they make use of hashtables behind the scenes)
Is there a better/safer approach?
Thanks in advance

This could, I think, potentially cause problems if you're using instances of this class in the key of dictionaries. But no more so than if you put _value in there instead, and there's not really a way to avoid it with mutable types.
I think that you are only going to be sacrificing a bit of performance, not creating subtle bugs, because the .Net hashtable will look through all the items if it doesn't get a hash hit. Generally, you wouldn't put mutable things into collections as a key anyway.
There are only two 'golden rules' of GetHashCode, to quote the documentation[^]:
If two objects compare as equal, the GetHashCode method for each object must return the same value. However, if two objects do not compare as equal, the GetHashCode methods for the two object do not have to return different values.
The GetHashCode method for an object must consistently return the same hash code as long as there is no modification to the object state that determines the return value of the object's Equals method. Note that this is true only for the current execution of an application, and that a different hash code can be returned if the application is run again.
You generally want to use as much of the state (which you compare within an Equals override) as possible to make the hash code uniqueness work well, and that means that if you mutate the object you change its hash code, which could cause a minor slowdown next time you look 'it' (i.e. something that matches it by Equals) up.
So in conclusion, you're okay, but good question, and it's good practice not to mutate things (at least, not to mutate the parts of them which are part of their equality semantics) if they're being used as dictionary keys.

Excellent explanation.
Thanks for putting my mind at ease

No, it won't. Mutating an object that is used as a dictionary key will cause bugs.
The correct solution is to remove the object from the dictionary, then mutate the key, then re-add it. Or better, just make the key immutable, remove the object from the dictionary, and re-add it using another key.
|

Then make it immutable / readonly; it probably should be anyway.
|
|
|
|

can't make it readonly im afraid.
The class is providing a solution to firing off propertyChanged notifications without having to rely on hardcoded property name strings (it provides a 'single run per property' means by which property names are programatically derived)
As a result the wrapper class is being used in place of a basic property backing field and therefore must be able to have its value changed as and when required.
hope that makes sense

Hi All,
I would like to develop a windows desktop application in C# which would display the video from a Raysharp DVR sitting in my network. I would like to know if there is any SDK available (compatible with raysharp dvr) which can be useful. Raysharp is using H264 encoding to stream the video.
If anyone can direct me to any site or could help with some idea, will be very much helpful.
Thanks in Advance
Jayesh

Ask these guys[^] for an SDK.
I would suspect that you cannot play the video because, at least on the security system I worked with, the video stream was encrypted. This would be for legal reasons as surveilence video is admissable as evidence. Any files saved from the system would need to be played in the player supplied by the vendor because of the encryption.

Hi,
But i can see the video in my iPhone using a couple of third party applications. This will raise two options, either the suppliers have access to the encryption (which seems to be very less) or there is no encryption at all..
please let me know your thoughts on the same.
Thanks

I have a question if someone can kindly refer me to a good source, on how to make a visual c # dictionary.
For example using a simple list box and text box, where all data are recalled from a database.
So the words would be displayed in the list box, and as you click on that particular word, you may get the meaning in the text box, or label, also how to include a search system.
It is simple to do this using the basic of assigning the list box to the text box, but that requires repeating the same code for different words over and over again.

can you post some sample code? I'm not 100% clear on what the problem is.

We don't have tutorials on each type of application. MSDN holds various tutorials[^], and has a topic on connecting to a database[^]. There's also a topic on manipulating data[^].
Both the TextBox[^] and the ListBox[^] are documented on MSDN.

I doubt you'd want to have a whole dictionary in memory, but if it's just a small dictionary, something like this might be what you want (once you have the DataTable populated):
System.Data.DataTable dt = new System.Data.DataTable() ;
dt.Columns.Add ( new System.Data.DataColumn ( "Word" ) ) ;
dt.Columns.Add ( new System.Data.DataColumn ( "Definition" ) ) ;
System.Data.DataRow dr ;
dr = dt.NewRow() ;
dr [ 0 ] = "CAT" ;
dr [ 1 ] = "Man's worst enemy" ;
dt.Rows.Add ( dr ) ;
dr = dt.NewRow() ;
dr [ 0 ] = "CART" ;
dr [ 1 ] = "Don't put it before the horse" ;
dt.Rows.Add ( dr ) ;
dr = dt.NewRow() ;
dr [ 0 ] = "COT" ;
dr [ 1 ] = "A place to rest at work" ;
dt.Rows.Add ( dr ) ;
this.comboBox1.DataSource = dt.DefaultView ;
this.comboBox1.DisplayMember = "Word" ;
this.comboBox1.AutoCompleteMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend ;
this.comboBox1.AutoCompleteSource = System.Windows.Forms.AutoCompleteSource.ListItems ;
this.comboBox1.SelectedIndexChanged += delegate ( object sender , System.EventArgs e )
{
this.textBox1.Text = (string) ((System.Data.DataRowView) this.comboBox1.SelectedItem) [ 1 ] ;
} ;
This may not provide all the searching you want. If not, another similar possibility is to have a TextBox for the search pattern. When the Text is changed, you set the .Filter property of the DataTable's DefaultView -- but you have to catch Exceptions and let the user know that the pattern has a problem.
Here's one (untested) way to do that:
System.Data.DataView dv = this.cbItemName.DataSource as System.Data.DataView ;
if ( dv != null )
{
try
{
dv.RowFilter = System.String.Format ( "Name LIKE '%{0}%'" , this.tbSearchText.Text ) ;
this.tbSearchText.BackColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.Window ;
}
catch
{
this.tbSearchText.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightPink ;
}

I would like to thank you all for your kind reply on this topic. As PIEBALDconsult said I don’t want to store data in memory.
What I was thinking of was the following:
1- Suppose you have an English – French dictionary, and assume they are all stored on a database, i.e. SQL, Access…etc.
2- The 2nd step would be, to create a simple user interface, which has a list box, and a text box.
3- All the English words for example would go into the list box, by calling them from the database.
4- As you click on a word, you must be able to display the meaning of that word in the text box, which would be the French meaning of that English word. And if you click on a different word you would get the meaning of that word and so on.
I hope i managed to explain the idea in the simplest form possible.

Hi, can I make my .net service non disable by changing registry values? Like when a user from administrator group tries to disable service it will give an acess is denied message like Eset Service? Thanks.
|
|
|
|
|
Are we talking a Web or WCF Service or a windows service?
V.

It is a windows service. I tried this
I opened regedit -> Local Machine -> CurrentControlSet -> services ->[My Service name] right click -> permissions and I edited some of the permissions from there finally it's done! When I try to disable the service it gives Access is denied! but I wonder if there is another way to do this? thanks.
