First, this is better suited for the ASP.NET forum.

Second, C# compiles to IL which is contained in assemblies which execute code ON THE SERVER. In laymen's terms, C# is only server-side when dealing with Web Forms. So, no, you can't open a popup window using C# without resorting to writing some Javascript/JScript or an HTML link with an appropriate onclick handler or target attribute value.

A quick search on CodeProject would reveal (and at the time this was written, it was right on the homepage under "Latest Best Picks") an ASP.NET WebControl that makes popups easy to deal with (at least for n00bs) at http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/asppopup.asp[^].

If you need to handle message in your application, implement IMessageFilter and add it to your application's queue filter using Application.AddMessageFilter.

Otherwise, please try searching CodeProject articles or the forums first. This has been covered far too many times and is pointless to keep posting. For one article on CP, try this: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/NetWin32Hooks.asp?target=hooks[^]

To search the comments, click "Search Comments" directly above this threaded-forum view and try searching for "hooks".

Thank you Heath Stewart:
I know what is your means.In the example of MSDN,
it is a local hook,and it is also a local hook in all
hook-example that I saw.I think we really need to know
what should we do in a journal-hook.for example ,the
API-hook is so.

I'm afraid I don't follow you. Are you asking what journal hooks are good for, such as example usage of a journal hook?

lajiyo3-Dec-03 2:29

Sorry for my late:
Heath Stewart I think you can help me .
I want to say if we can use journal-hook in C# onely.
If we can do it.Please give me a sample,thank you.
The second question is if we can use API-hook in C#.

There's plenty of articles on hooks on this site - with example code. Just do a search: http://www.codeproject.com/info/search.asp?cats=3&cats=5&searchkw=hooks[^]

C# vs Sound compression

Hi all!

I need to do sound compression in C#.

I record sound from microphone in wav format then I have to compress it (to Mp3, WMA of other format) to send over network and play on client computer. I found some things working with files but I can only work with streams.

I explored a lot of variants for several days but:
1. .Net Class Library doesn't include anything working with sound.
2. DirectSound doesn't do sound compression.
3. DirectShow is not included in Managed DirectX 9.0 so I can't use it from .Net
4. Windows Media Encoder doesn't work with streams
5. Audio Compression Manager maybe the only one tool to compress sound. Has anyone reference how to use it from .Net? (now I import functions from it's dll and try to use it)

Am I right in my conclusions?

Please help me!

Re: C# vs Sound compression

No, the .NET BCL does not have anything to deal with sound. While it should've at least had some basic classes to play WAVs, sound compression is not really common in a base class library - it's often something found in extensions.

Such is the case with Managed DirectX. DirectSound doesn't need to do sound compression because it deals with filter chains. You chain a series of readers, decoders, mixers, encoders, and writers together. You can even play with this process visually using the GraphEdit application that is installed with the DirectX SDK.

And Windows Media Encoder does deal with streams, both reading from and outputing to. I've done is many times in the past.

On a more personal note, please do not email me directly with the same question that you post in the forum. I or somebody else will get to your question when we see it and feel comfortable answering it. Everyone's time is precious, and using this forum soley helps preserve the knowledge in a searchable archive (though no one ever seems to search first anymore) that is available to help everyone.

Thank you very much! Smile | :)

You answer clears solution in general but can you write an exact links to classes, methods in DirectX or Windows Media Encoder SDK that deal with my problem because I still can't find them! Frown | :(

P.S. Is there any way to use DirectShow from C#?

Then you'll have to read the DirectX SDK - it's the only way to learn. You can also google for examples or look at the code in the samples that are installed with the SDK.

There are plenty of examples of using DirectShow in C# here on CodeProject - just search! Perhaps the 'DirectShow' keyword would return you several. D'Oh! | :doh:

Serialize a button?

I'm trying to save a Button object to a file, with the following code:

[Serializable]
public class SaveSettings
{
public System.Windows.Forms.Button btn = new
System.Windows.Forms.Button();
}

System.Windows.Forms.Button testBtn = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();
SaveSettings.btn = testBtn;
Serializer.Serialize(settings.btn,"C:\\aButton.btn");

public static void Serialize(object Object, string FileName)
{
BinaryFormatter bformatter = new BinaryFormatter();
Stream stream = File.Open(FileName, FileMode.Create);
bformatter.Serialize(stream, Object);
stream.Close();
}

But I get the following exception:

An unhandled exception of
type 'System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException' occurred in
mscorlib.dll

Additional information: The type System.Windows.Forms.Button in Assembly
System.Windows.Forms, Version=1.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 is not marked as serializable.

What is wrong? How can I make it serializable?

I'm also trying with a Panel(containg butttons) and a TreeView(containing nodes), it all results in the same exception.(Simpel things as an ArrayList,string, int or double works fine)

Thanks in advance for your help Rose | [Rose]

Do you really want to serialize the button?

You could instead save button's Checked state and/or the button's Text label.

Yes, because my applicaton creats buttons in realtime.
Actualy I'm trying to save a ArrayList of Panel objects(allso made in runtime) that contains diffrent sized buttons. I've created a button class that extends the windows button class, with addisional information. Same thing for the panel.

Sorry about my bad English.

The Windows.Forms-Controls are not serializable, but you can export all properties of the Button and serialize the Hashtable. After deserializing the Hashtable, you can set all properties "by name".

Hashtable hashtable = new Hashtable();
ListFields(button, hashtable);
//...
private void ListFields(object obj, Hashtable ht){
BindingFlags flags = BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public;
FieldInfo[] arrInfo = obj.GetType().GetFields(flags);

foreach(FieldInfo info in arrInfo) {
ht.Add(info.Name, info.GetValue(obj));
object fieldValue = info.GetValue(obj);
if(fieldValue != null){ ListFields(fieldValue); }
}
}
