lippie,
I had put the snKey file, and source files in one directory, and set
[assembly:AssemblyKeyFile("")] to the same directory name.
RESULT: key file could not be found
I had put the snKey file and source files in one directory and set
[assembly:AssemblyKeyFile("..\\..\\keyfile.snk")]
RESULT: key file could not be found
I had put the snKey file in the build directory and set the
[assembly:AssemblyKeyFile("..\\..\\\\keyfile.snk")]
RESULT: key file could not be found
I had put the snKey file in the build directory and directly pointed at
the build directory
RESULT: key file could not be found
I added a compile parameter /lib:"my souce library path"
RESULT: key file could not be found
I am about to put a shotgun in the mouth of the compiler and let it try and find it's brains after I pull the trigger !!!!!
I suspect that the little tidbit in AssemblyInfo where it goes after
%Project Directory%\obj\<configuration> that I am either
a) not getting %Project Directory% set
or b) I am still missing a directive to the compiler (which still goes back to a).

I finally got the managed compiler to create a strong named assembly.
What I had to do was as follows:
1) I did a File.Copy to move the SN Key from the selected directory to the
source directory. This was my choice but not necessary.
2) Instead of setting [AssemblyKeyName...]
I had to set [AssemblyKeyFile... and specified the fully qualified path.
[AssemblyKeyFile="D:\myApp\mySource\keyF.snk"]
3) Compile to your hearts content!!!! WOOHOO!

I want my program to be able to find a specified window, activate it, and send it keyboard commands. Kind of like a macro program. How would I code this?

Have a look at the WSH sendkeys functionality.
Not the only way though...

My application requires global variables in it(the variable that can be accessed from objects of any class in application).
How to implement such a feature ?
Thanks in advance

Create a class with static variables maybe... I dont think global variables are possible in C#.

Try something like this:
<br />
namespace MyGlobals<br />
{<br />
sealed public class DaysOfTheWeek<br />
{<br />
public static int nSunday = 0; <br />
public static int nMonday = 1;<br />
public static int nTuesday = 2;<br />
public static int nWednesday = 3;<br />
public static int nThursday = 4;<br />
public static int nFriday = 5;<br />
public static int nSaturday = 6; <br />
}<br />
}<br />
You can reference these variables by name (nMonday, nFriday, etc.) in your other files after adding the following line:
<br />
using MyGlobals.DaysOfTheWeek;<br />

You could create an abstract super class that defines the variables that need to be global, then derive all of your classes from that one class.
Alternatively, If you don't need to update the value of the variable, then you could define it in a .config file, and then read the config file from the classes that need to access the variable. If you need to change it or share it between application types (web, windows, windows services, etc.), then define an XML document somewhere on your system and then read from and update it in the classes where you use it.
I'm sure there is probably a better way to do it, but this is my 2c.

Well said. And there are no global functions either, only statics, which preserve the purity of the OO paradigm.

It helps with global variables.

Perhaps this should be in the general .NET forum, but what the heck.
I've written a program, in C#, that runs as a service. I have done the installer so it will install the service on the system.
However what I cannot figure out (and probably because paying for all this Microsoft software made me so broke I cannot afford the approriate book) is how to handle the case where the service is already installed when setup is being run.
The installer will just say "Service is already installed" and rollback the entire installation. What I want to achive is that the executable for the service is updated and the service restarted.
I figured maybe I could do a check to see if the service was installed, stop it and then delete it, before the installer installs the new version,but I can't seem to find a method to actually remove a service from the system either.
Any pointers would be highly appreciated.

Hi!
I am quite new to C# and have noticed that one cannot give default values to arguments. Any idea why this is not implementend in C#?

As I've read, this leads to versioning problems. Where does the default is defined? On the client or in the interface implementation?

I think I was not clear enough. I meant default argument values to functions like in C++:
void f (int x = 0)
{
printf ("%d", x);
}

No, you were. I wasn't, sorry.
This page explains it better than me:
"
Because IL always calls a method passing a complete set of arguments, the value of an absent argument is determined at compile time, not at run time. This has versioning consequences. For example, say a ComponentAssembly.dll assembly contains a method that has an optional Int32 argument whose default value is 5. Now imagine an AppAssembly.exe assembly that contains a call to this method and the optional argument isn’t specified. When compiling AppAssembly.exe, the compiler emits IL code that passes 5 to the method. Let’s say that the method in ComponentAssembly.dll has its optional parameter’s default value changed to 123 and the assembly is rebuilt. If the AppAssembly.exe assembly isn’t rebuilt, then at run time, 5 is passed to the method—the new default value (123) isn’t passed to the method unless the code in AppAssembly.exe is also recompiled.

One way to get around this issue would be for the c# compiler to auto-generate the necesary method overloads for optional params.
for instance:
public void Foo(Int32 i = 5){...}
would get compiled to:
public void Foo(Int32 i) {...}
public void Foo() { Foo(5); }
This would allow the value of the optional paramter to be stored in the correct assembly for versioning issues.
It's not a perfect solution, but it works pretty well.

Can anyone point out me where i am wrong. The below code creates a user defined parameter object for a Command object in ADO.NET. I am just trying to type cast this parameter object with OracleParameter but i am getting invalid casting error.
Your help in this regard is highly appreciated.

You can only cast to supertypes iow, base classes and inferfaces. [edit]if you do not define others[edit]

Hello,
Please someone explain to me which is the need of Sychronized and SyncRoot in .NET collections. Why and how should I use this two features. Aren't the collections thread safe?? And if them aren't, a lock is not enough? Really, I think I have a big missunderstood about collections, please help.
Thanks,
Miguel

I'm not expert here, but here is my understanding.
I believe most of the collections have the SyncRoot element, and when you are locking the collections you need to lock the SyncRoot element.
So if you are locking a hastable, it should look something like
lock(myhashtable.SyncRoot).
The locking keyword in c# is a bit misleading, actually what it does is grant you access to the lock, so that no other thread can acquire the lock until you release it.
regards
Kannan

Don Miguel wrote:
which is the need of Sychronized
Synchronized tells you if the collection's operations will be thread-safe. Generally this is done by implementing a wrapper around the collection, using a lock on the SyncRoot for each operation performed.
Don Miguel wrote:
which is the need of SyncRoot
SyncRoot is for doing your own locking. Say you need to add a lot of items to the collection, during which no other thread should use it. Rather than using the Synchronized wrapper which would lock/unlock for each operation you would create a lock on the SyncRoot object, then perform each of your operations.
Don Miguel wrote:
Aren't the collections thread safe??
No, you need to refer to the documentation for each class you wish to use to find out if the operations are thread-safe. Making everything thread-safe by default is expense CPU wise, so you are better off not putting it in for the cases where thread-safety isn't an issue.
Most collection classes expose some way of getting a Synchronized version, usually by a static method of some sort. Always check the documentation to be sure.
