Re: Perl has made me soft. Christian Graus10-Dec-03 15:07 Christian Graus 10-Dec-03 15:07  The only way to do this AFAIK is to create a wrapper class for the array that gives you the behaviour you want. If it's an array of strings, why/how can you return 0, or do you mean an empty string ? Christian I have drunk the cool-aid and found it wan and bitter. - Chris Maunder Re: Perl has made me soft. ambulopod10-Dec-03 15:15 ambulopod 10-Dec-03 15:15  Yes, I meant to write empty string. Which leads to my next question, is there some way I can use the Convert.ToInt32, Convert.ToDouble, etc, and have them return 0 if the string is unrecognized? I spent a minute writing a class that derives from Array but got an error "cannot inheret from special class System.Array." But I'll research that route more thoroughly now. Re: Perl has made me soft. Christian Graus10-Dec-03 15:17 Christian Graus 10-Dec-03 15:17  Same answer - you can't inherit, you need to contain, your class HAS an array, you can't write a class that IS A array. So you need a class with static methods that call Convert.ToWhatever, and handle failure the way you want them to. I'm not suggesting this is a good idea. Christian I have drunk the cool-aid and found it wan and bitter. - Chris Maunder Re: Perl has made me soft. ambulopod10-Dec-03 15:20 ambulopod 10-Dec-03 15:20  Okay, that makes sense. I'll try that. Thanks. Re: Perl has made me soft. Hovel10-Dec-03 22:30 Hovel 10-Dec-03 22:30  Perl has made me very soft. c# is sharpening me up again. Rgds, Ian Networking Question Spiros10-Dec-03 12:17 Spiros 10-Dec-03 12:17  Hi everybody I an all the examples that I have studied so far with regards to remoting there is a server and many clients that communicate with it using either TCP/IP or HTTP. What kind of communication protocol can we use for the case of windows forms that communicate with other windows forms and need to pass data to them. So instead of having a pool of sockets to connect, we have the server (window form father) to create and then send data to the new window form (window form child) and then wait until the child window returns some results. If we use TCP/IP and config files all child processes will use the same port. From my small exeprience I believe that this is at least incorrect. So my question is: does anyone know am effective way to perform that type of communication? Thank you very much for your time. Spiros Prantalos Miami the place to be!! One More Detail Spiros10-Dec-03 12:32 Spiros 10-Dec-03 12:32  The whole application runs on Window Terminal Server Spiros Prantalos Miami the place to be!! Re: Networking Question Heath Stewart10-Dec-03 12:37 Heath Stewart 10-Dec-03 12:37  Using a TcpChannel is typical for remoting between app domains on the same machine. There is far less overhead than with HTTP (a protocol over TCP/IP). Using a .config file for remoting configuration (by calling RemotingConfiguration.Configure) does offer benefits over manual configuration, but you can still specify ports. Each application will have it's own configuration file (named yourappname.exe.config) so you can configure clients to use the same or different ports. Of course, applications that need to communicate with each other via remoting must use the same port. Also note that with remoting, you don't have to use the typical client-server setup. Clients can talk to each other as well as can servers; in essence, each application acts as a client and server (sending requests and getting responses back for both applications). You should pick up the book ".NET Remoting" from MSPress. It's a good introduction to remoting and covers lots of intermediate and some advanced techniques and topics.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

After some research I found the following: -- Let's assume you have two Windows Forms applications, running on a single machine and you want the two applications to be able to communicate with each other. Or suppose you have a Windows service which should exchange data with your GUI application. Which protocol can you use? Remoting! This is one of the cases where the TCPChannel is extremely helpful as it allows you to specify rejectRemoteRequests="true" upon its construction which limits all incoming connections to the ones originating from your own machine. No need to take too many precautions about security in this case. However: If you use fixed port numbers for WinForms to WinForms communication, you might run into troubles when running on Windows Terminal Services with two or more users trying to use your application at the same time -- Unfortunately this is my case. Spiros Prantalos Miami the place to be!! Re: Networking Question Heath Stewart10-Dec-03 13:02 Heath Stewart 10-Dec-03 13:02  Okay, sorry, didn't understand quite what you were asking in the first post. You could have a remoting object that merely keeps track of which ports are currently being used by a pair of applications, and perhaps even hands out ports to use. Of course, you'd have to configure the remote objects yourself, but this isn't a difficult thing (just more difficult to change since you have to recompile for some things). If security is an issue, you could assign each user a key (if you have ActiveDirectory with Certificate Services installed and setup, just use the user's key) to communicate between application domains. If you configure the apps to use the same port, of course only the first user would be able to run it. Finally, if you use a client-server type setup, you could use single call well-known objects so that multiple users don't interact with each other's sessions. Just a couple of thoughts.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

Thanks DaIn Re: on is asctive or not ... how to find out if caplock is active or not Heath Stewart10-Dec-03 9:58 Heath Stewart 10-Dec-03 9:58  P/Invoke the native function GetKeyState: [DllImport("user32.dll")] private static extern short GetKeyState(int virtKey); You would then pass 20 (VK_CAPITAL) to get the CAPS LOCK key state. Fortunately (for good reason), the System.Windows.Forms.Keys enumeration members match up with the virtual key constants defined in winuser.h, so you can use (int)Keys.CapsLock instead for more readable code: short value = GetKeyState((int)Keys.CapsLock); bool on = (value & 0x0001) != 0; myButton.Enabled = !on; It's important to mask out the high-order bit so you can check the status of the low-order bit. This is documented in the Platform SDK documentation for the GetKeyState, see so that for more information.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

Siddens Re: YANQ - Yet Another Newbie Question - Menus Heath Stewart10-Dec-03 6:52 Heath Stewart 10-Dec-03 6:52  XP visual styles have nothing to do with bitmaps on menu items. They are entirely independent of each other. You asked about menu item bitmaps - not XP visual styles. I have written an article on XP visual styles here: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/dotnetvisualstyles.asp[^] If you are using .NET 1.1 or higher, you can also call Application.EnableVisualStyles() before you call Application.Run in your entry point method (Main). That's also mentioned in the article forum for the article link I gave you above.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

Either make a couple of images and use them on a couple of Button objects, or set the Font for the Button objects to Wingdings or something and choose the appropriate character for an up or down button (there are several). Use the Character Map application in Windows to help find which one is appropriate (Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Character Map). Using images as embedded resources in the dialogs you see with up/down arrows is what the .NET BCL uses, but either way works. Using a font to do it will also allow the arrows to match the system's current ControlText color.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

Heath Stewart10-Dec-03 3:34 Heath Stewart 10-Dec-03 3:34  There's plenty of samples in this site, though most are in C#. If you truly understand .NET, however, you won't have any trouble translating this code to VC++.NET, because they all have equal access to the .NET base class library (BCL), or any other assembly for that matter. Also, this is the C# forum. This question would've been more appropriate in the Managed C++ forum.
