Re: RDLC printing without print preview - C# Discussion Boards

This is more of a simulation of a multitask application. The only thing I was trying to do here is to make some slight changes to the code so that I get print outs where Tasks [T1], [T2] and [T3] are not only printing out sequnetally but kind of roandomly in sort of random order.
However my C# coding abilites are worse than I would imagine so getting this done anytime soon aitn gonna happen.
Furthermore, I couldnt find anything on this Threadclass in C#. I didnt see any examples online where this ThreadClass was used directly in the code.

Of course you didn't. It's not part of the .NET Framework. It's code YOU WROTE, so why would you expect there to be any documentation on it anywhere?

Threads do not run in sequential order, and cannot be predicted to execute in any determined order. It's not the code that is wrong, but your expectations of how the system will execute it.

Well you created the ThreadClass so why would you expect to find examples of it on the internet? However, there is some sample code at Thread Class (System.Threading) | Microsoft Docs[^]. Also, if your coding skills are as basic as you imply, then I suggest you stay well clear of threads, they rarely offer any benefit unless you are creating large multitasking applications.

Try an example that works; then get creative.

Pardon me if I've misunderstood your question but it seems to me that you spawn your threads but expect them to execute synchronously which does not make any sense to me at all. So I agree with Richard that this is not the best example as it would just benefit from synchronous code as it is much simpler and as performant.
My main point is that the best parallelism is when you have no shared resources between your tasks and you should strive for it.
In case you wanted to simulate with your example the fact that it requires some effort to compute info about the student (i.e. you get it from DB) I would rather suggest you investigate async/await.

Hello everyone, I have a problem with my application which is designed to print purchase invoices in a shop on a thermal printer. I have a little problem when printing the invoice, I want the invoice to be printed directly without a preview.
I used ReportViewer and RDLC
If anyone has an idea please help me. thank you in advance

Not all of it - just relevant fragments.
Without any code at all, it's like you telling a garage "my car broke" and putting the phone down - they don't know where you are, much less what parts they need to bring out to help you!

Don't do it like that!

I've sent rdlc reports as Excel via email; you can vary the format with "Render".

(The mangled German MS Docs seem to have the only relevant sample ... I think "2008" was the last year MS maintained any report viewer "docs")

LocalReport.Render-Methode (String, String, out String, out String, out String, out String[], out Warning[]) (Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms) | Microsoft Docs

Just create the ReportViewer control in code; you don't need a "form".

I'm going to have a Windows Service running on a server. It will have a FileSystemWatcher running in it. When a file is dropped in, the service will process the file. Sometimes, when a user drops a file onto the server, I will need to prompt the user, from the server, with some options.

The question is, how can the server prompt the user?

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

It can't. The service is going to have to send a message to an app running on the client machines and that app is going to have to prompt the user. Of course, is has to be an app that is run from the registry Run key so it starts when the user is logged on. That app cannot also be a service.

I'v used SignalR alot. The client could register itself with the server, then the server could as the local user for any info it needs. This would work, but I'm concerned about the client side app either not starting or being turned off somehow.

Your thoughts?

Since everything launched from the Run key launches as the user that logged in, they are free to terminate the app any time they want from either the command line tools or from Task Manager.

They are also free to disconnect the network and rip out the LAN cable.

There's nothing you can do that's going to be 100% effective against losing communication or presentation.

"Servers" "waiting" for response(s) from "users". A new definition for "stateless".

Is it possible to add a custom property or attribute to any type of file? Say I want to add a property called "MySetting" with the value of "100" to MyFile.txt, then be able to see it in File => Right-Click => Properties => Detals. And also to be able to read that back in C#.

Is this possible in C#? I'm not really sure what to Google to research this?

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

I don't know about adding properties to files but you can add alternate file streams and store data in the alternate file stream for the file, I know it can be done with C/C++ but I have not done it for a while.

Whether you can get the properties in the file/right-click/properties/details properties I am not sure.

In theory, yes: c# - Add new metadata properties to a file - Stack Overflow[^] ... but I've never tried it.

Hi,

There is one existing property that might be sufficient for your needs: "Date Created" is a DateTime
which is set by Windows when the file gets created, and isn't modified afterwards. Internally it is stored as a 32-bit integer (often/always? with a resolution of 2 seconds), but Explorer won't show it as an integer, it will display numbers for year, day, hours, minutes, maybe month, typically not seconds.

So you could store a few small numbers in it: some range in the year, [1-31] in the day (assuming a long month), [0-23] in hours, [0-59] in minutes.

Smile | :)

PS: when abusing Date Created, make sure there isn't any app (such as a backup utility) relying on the standard meaning of Date Created; I would hope such software relies on Date Modified, but I suggest you check that anyway.

The "100" in my post was just for illustrative porposes. I would want to write out any type of property, string, int, date/time, bool, etc

                           }

Once again: use the debugger. Find out what the numbers are, find out what the code-article value is. Then before you call ExecuteNonQuery to perform the update, check your DB for the exact current values using an Access query to find the specific rows.
Work out what the new row values should be for the numbers you looked at.
Step over the ExecuteNonQuery, and look at the same set of rows. Are they the new values?

We can't do any of that for you, we don't have your DB.
