How can green be 0, 128, 0 ? It is green, as is any value with 0 red and 0 blue, but hard green is 255, surely ?

In any case, the system works the same way, forget greenyellow, it's obviously not the point halfway between the other two. Instead, add 2 to your red value for every 1 you add to your green value. Write up a program that does that and draws a gradient and see how it looks.

Treat each color value as a percentage 0=0%, 255=100%

So, a certain color might be (20%, 30%, 90%) in RGB
if you want to intersect that with another color (100%, 60%, 0%) the intersection will be the averages:

(60%, 45%, 45%)

Make sense?

heres a rough equation i got from my friend:

average the "Reds" - aa+11= bb bb/2 = 5D

bb+22 = DD dd/2 = 6e

cc+33 = ff ff/2 = 7f

so the average =c #aabbcc and #112233 = #5D6E7F

Yeah, it's pretty much the same thing.

(Ra + Rb)/2 = Ri
(Ba + Bb)/2 = Bi
(Ga + Gb)/2 = Gi

It makes sense since if you intersect a red line (255,0,0) with a black line (0,0,0) then the result should be a darker red line (128,0,0)

threading and file permissions

I am experiencing a problem when trying to open a file using StreamReader inside a newly created thread.

My main program creates the thread as follows:

Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(ProcessFileThreadOperation));
t.Start();

Pretty straight forward. If I remove the thread altogether and simply call

ProcessFileThreadOperation();

then everything works great, so I know that the code inside this method works fine. However when I call the method so that it can be run on a separate thread, I get an error as soon as it tries to open the StreamReader with the error:

Error: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.

So now my best guess is that file security permissions are not passed on to threads? If that's the case, anyone have any suggestions on a workaround? Any help would be _greatly_ appreciated...

Thanks,

Julie

Weird System.IO Related Problems

I am having what appears to be a strange problem when I do File and or directory management using System.IO.

For example if I have the following lines of code:

Directory.Delete()
File.Copy()
Use the File

If the directory to be deleted is very large, it appears that while the directory is being deleted, the code jumps to the next line which is copy a file and the following line which is use the File. But since the directory deletion is not complete the File Copy or use hte file fails.

I cannot reproduce the problem in debug mode so am not sure what the hell is happening.

Have also noticed the problem when I was doing server maintenance and was deleting a few gigs of files manually. At the same time I was running my code that was writing files to the drive. Since the drive was busy it was taking time to write the files. What was strange is that it attempted to use the file before it finished writing it. Which is the same problem as I mentioned above. It seems to jump over a line of code to the next without completeing teh first, implying that the File IO is asynchronous or that something else is very evil in there Smile | :)

Is Directory.delete asynchronous? Is there a global setting that makes it asynchronous? Any ideas?

Thanks.

dll-dependencies

hi !

i have some troubles concerning dll-dependencies:

there is the main SIMULATOR class, which needs a lot of other classes (Class1,Class2,...)
this Simulator registers a channel for a remote object (COMMUNICATOR) and handles over a self-reference.

now. when i connect my GUI (on another pc) with this Communicator it seems that i need not only the simulator-class but all Class1,Class2 classes as a dll.
(because of the simulator-reference in communicator)

is this realy true, or is there another possibility

Class1
\
Class2 -- Simulator - Communicator <---REMOTE--->GUI
/
Class3

THANKS A LOT !!!!!!!!

constructor calls constructor ( java: this(..) )

hi !

can a constructor call another constructor of the same class?

in java it used to work as follows:
this(....);

--->

public class Test {

String Fname;
String Lname;
int id;

public Test(String Fname, String Lname) {
this.Fname=Fname;
this.Lname=Lname;
}

public Test(int id, String Fname, String Lname){
this(Fname,Lname); //!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this.id=id;
}

public static void main(String[] args){
Test t = new Test(1,"Tim","Taylor");
}

THANKS !

Sure. Here[^] is the language spec on the subject.

class Text
{
   public Text(): this(0, 0, null) {}
   public Text(int x, int y): this(x, y, null) {}
   public Text(int x, int y, string s) {
      // Actual constructor implementation
   }
}

Custom control

Lasse Johansen26-Aug-03 9:16

26-Aug-03 9:16

I have made a custom control, which have a property named Items. Items is a collection. This collection can in the designer be changed by using the collection-editor accessed from the property viewer.

My problem is when I add items through the designer(collection-editor) in the property viewer. After adding a new item, it is shown in the control, but do I reload the form(by closing the window, and open it again), the item is not present - not visually in my control and not in the collection-editor.
I see that after adding items using the collection-editor, no code are added to the InitializeComponent function. I wonder if you need to do something specific to have it added correctly to the parents InitializeComponent function?

Thanks in advance,
Gooky
