Has anybody determined how to set the cursor to a wait cursor during a long operation where Application.DoEvents() is being called (and thus allowing .NET to reset the cursor to that set for the control the cursor is currently over).

The only solution I have found is to set the current cursor of every control to the wait cursor, but what a pain.

Thanks - Joel

Selected Checkbox...

Hi.

i have a few checkboxes on my form and i want to show a simple messagebox when one of those checkboxes are checked. how can i do this dynamically?

for instance, instead of writing an if statement per checkbox, like this:

if(checkbox1.checked = true)<br />
{<br />
  MessageBox.Show("checked");<br />
}

write it dynamically, like this:
(the <selected checkbox=""> is the name of the selected checkbox)

if(<selected checkbox>.checked = true)<br />
{<br />
  MessageBox.Show("checked");<br />
}

i know this is pretty easy for all you guru friends out there. Smile | :)

Thanks,

.gonad.

I'm not sure if I understand you, but you can maybe use first parameter of your event handler method (sender). You have to set same function as event handler for all checkboxes.

private void checkBox1_CheckedChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
  CheckBox checked=(CheckBox)sender;
  // checked is checkbox that was just checked/unchecked

}

Hi.

Thanks for your help. this worked exactly as you said, but i do have a queston.

Can you explain what the
(CheckBox)sender
is specifying? also, can i use this for a textbox, or other controls, as well? for example,

TextBox tb = (TextBox)sender;

I'm new at this stuff, can't you tell?

Thanks again.

First parameter (sender) of event handler is affected object.
it is passed as object so you need to cast it to correct type (Button / CheckBox etc..).
So when you have event handler for Button, sender is button user clicked on. If you have event handler for TextBox, sender is this TextBox.

I create tables called "Employers", "Employees". One employer can have many Employees, but one employee can have only one employer.

In my code: I create EmployerClass
{
public Long EmployerID;

public EmployeeCollections Employees;
....
}

I want the EmployeeCollections can have a group of employees order by last name and first name. I can access it like Employees[i](int i) or Employees[name](string name = lastname+" "+firstname).

Can anyone please tell me how to do that?

Thanks in advance!

Need help with winforms treeview control

I want to populate a winforms treeview control from a relational table without xml in c#.net. I am new to c#, so please bear with me. I set up the oracle connection, dataadapter, fill etc. The code is given below.
My problem is that I have put messagebox and see that
this.treeView1.Nodes.Add(nodeAuthor); seems to add the nodes, but when the program completes and displays the form, I do not see the group_desc populated at all. I did not add anything manually in the Nodes property in Treeview. Please help!!!

this.treeView1 = new System.Windows.Forms.TreeView();
this.oracleConnection1 = new System.Data.OracleClient.OracleConnection();
this.oracleDataAdapter1 = new System.Data.OracleClient.OracleDataAdapter();

this.oracleConnection1.ConnectionString = "the connection strings"; string strSQLAuthors = "SELECT GROUP_MASTER.GROUP_DESC " +
" FROM " +
"GROUP_MASTER ORDER BY GROUP_MASTER.GROUP_DESC ";

TreeNode nodeAuthor;
DataSet ds;

//Create the Connection and the DataSet object, and then open the connection.

ds = new DataSet();
oracleConnection1.Open();

oracleDataAdapter1 = new OracleDataAdapter(strSQLAuthors, oracleConnection1);
oracleDataAdapter1.Fill(ds, "GROUP_MASTER");

//Populate the TreeView from the DataSet.
foreach (DataRow rowAuthor in ds.Tables["GROUP_MASTER"].Rows)
{
nodeAuthor = new TreeNode();
nodeAuthor.Text = rowAuthor["GROUP_DESC"].ToString();
this.treeView1.Nodes.Add(nodeAuthor);
}

//Clean up.
ds.Dispose();
oracleDataAdapter1.Dispose(); oracleConnection1.Close();
oracleConnection1.Dispose();

Port Number in Web Services

Hello,
I apologize if this has already been discussed, but I need to find an solution for this problem. I have several web services that I have developed, and deployed to my staging and production environments. The problem is whenever I test the web services by specifying the .asmx file, type in the parameters into the form, and click submit, the new window opens for the web service, but the port number is automatically input into the URL. This causes a time out because the service cannot be found when the port number is specified. I need to know how to set up my web services/servers to not specify the port number. If I type the URL into the address bar, without the port, the web service funtions correctly. Confused | :confused:

Hi all, I have been battling to send packets ( custom structures in my case ) over TCP. What is the best way to do this. Sending text is a breeze, but trying to send packaged info is proving to be a problem.

Any help welcome, thanks

Why dont you try Remoting (it has a TCP channel option)? And you can send entire objects across the network.

If your splash dialog is started by a Main routine,
and your MainMenu is just a form, then you should code your button like this:

<br />
  MainMenu mm = new MainMenu(this);<br />
  mm.ShowDialog();<br />

the MainMenu will then be displayed as a modal dialog (i.e. the user can't interact with
the original dialog -the splash screen- until (s)he closes the MainMenu).
I'm not sure how you can then close the splash form, but that's a start, I hope.

Deserialization problem..

Hi all,

I have two applications in seperate projects, one a client and one a server, I have created a Request object which is identical in each application and am serializing it and sending it through sockets and attempting to deserialize it at the other end, but when I try formatter.Deserialize(byteData) it errors (see exception at end of post), for some reason when the client attempts to deserialize the request object it trys to find the server application..I have no idea why this is and am completely stumped.

Can anyone help? If you need any additional information let me know and I'll post it here.

Thanks in advance.

>I have created a Request object which is identical in each application

so do you have two classes of this request-object?
one in the server-app and one in the client-app
or do you use a shared dll?

Re: Deserialization problem..

morefire17-Sep-03 4:51

morefire

17-Sep-03 4:51

Yes I had the class on both sides, but I've done some reading on msdn and found that serializing an object records the assembly name to deserialize it again, which is why I was having the error, since it was going from Server to Client assemblies, so I've put the request/response objects in a shared .dll file to resolve the problem. seems to work fine Wink | ;)

Thanks for replying Smile | :)

Is there any way to use a class from a dll? or do i have to use a StructLayout?

On C#, AFAIK, it would be too much trouble. The easiest way would be using Managed C++ and writing a simple wrapper __gc class, which would be easily callable from C# and can natively call your dll. You can find some samples for that on the Web.

You can do it on anything you choose - from .bat to .net - A customer
