Hi!

this is my first post here, so bear with me Smile | :)

. I'm currently trying to convert my C++ source to C#. I have now the problem that in my C++ code I'm passing a already existing object (wich is living in another class) in the constructor to yet another class. Ths happens as a pointer. But when I'm trying to do this in C# I'm getting the error CS0236: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cscomp/html/vcerrCompilerErrorCS0236.asp

How would I do this in C#? I've already tried to pass it as reference, but I'm getting the same error then.

Thanks in advance

If you'd post some code, that would help.

You can pass C# objects as regular objects, and not use pointers.
Since in c# you always have to use "new" to construct object and they are always passed by reference. It seems you're looking for a copy constructor construct in C#, which can't be done without cloning the object.
Just give us some small code example.

Classes are passed by reference. The following works. Please post your code so we can see what the problem is.

using System;

public class test
{
    class one
    {
        public one()
	{
	     Console.WriteLine("one's constructor");
	}
    }
	
    class two
    {
       public two()
       {
	     Console.WriteLine("two's constructor");   
       }
       public two(one o)
       {
             Console.WriteLine("two's constructor");   
       }
    }
    
    public test()
    {
       one o = new one();
       two t = new two(o);
    }

   [STAThread]
   public static void Main()
   {
       test t = new test();
       Console.Read();
   }
}

Serial Communication Problems...

Hello Pps

I implemented a serial communication on a Pocket Pc. I used code out of a msdn article (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;823179)
to reach my goal........

The target is to send a special bytecode to a microprocessor, which should look like this:

Code + carrige return + checkbyte

ASCII: z004\r<
Byte: 7A 30 30 34 0D 60

Now the program actually runs. Confused | :confused:

BUT the COM don't send exactlly what
the program is telling it. So the microprocessor always receive an additional line feed and the data look like this:

7A 30 30 34 0D 0A 60
**
I tried many differently DCB attitudes, but it didn't work.

The DCB struct i used look like this:

public struct DCB <br />
{<br />
      // *** fBitField ***<br />
      // fBinary                 1       binary mode, no EOF check<br />
      // fParity                 2       enable parity checking<br />
      // fOutxCtsFlow            3       CTS output flow control<br />
      // fOutxDsrFlow            4       DSR output flow control<br />
      // fDtrControl             5       DTR flow control type (2 bits)<br />
      // fDsrSensitivity         7       DSR sensitivity<br />
      // fTXContinueOnXoff       8       XOFF continues Tx<br />
      // fOutX                   9       XON/XOFF out flow control<br />
      // fInX                   10       XON/XOFF in flow control<br />
      // fErrorChar             11       enable error replacement<br />
      // fNull                  12       enable null stripping<br />
      // fRtsControl            13       RTS flow control (2 bits)<br />
      // fAbortOnError          15       abort reads/writes on error<br />
      // fDummy2                16       reserved <br />
      // 0000 0100 0000 0011 -> 0x0803<br />
<br />
      public int DCBlength;<br />
      public int BaudRate;<br />
      public int fBitField;<br />
      public Int16 wReserved;<br />
      public Int16 XonLim;<br />
      public Int16 XoffLim;<br />
      public byte ByteSize;<br />
      public byte Parity;<br />
      public byte StopBits;<br />
      public byte XonChar;<br />
      public byte XoffChar;<br />
      public byte ErrorChar;<br />
      public byte EofChar;<br />
      public byte EvtChar;<br />
      public Int16 wReserved2;<br />
}

And the settings

//----- Get existing comm port configuration<br />
intResult = GetCommState(intHandle, ref lpDCB);<br />
<br />
//----- Set required comm port configuration<br />
lpDCB.BaudRate = 1200;<br />
lpDCB.fBitField = 0x0803;<br />
lpDCB.XonLim = 0;<br />
lpDCB.XoffLim = 0;<br />
lpDCB.ByteSize = 7;<br />
lpDCB.Parity = 2;<br />
lpDCB.StopBits = 0;<br />
lpDCB.XonChar = 48; <br />
<br />
intResult = SetCommState(intHandle, ref lpDCB);

So I don't know how to continue..??????????

Thanks for help and excuse my bad english

The example code you linked to uses an Encoding object to turn a string into an array of byte. I suggest using a byte array directly.

Thanx for answering... Smile | :)

So i've already checked the converting part by debugging. But the program writes exact what i want to the "File" (WriteFile WinAPI function).

I think it has something to do with the COM settings. There is a binary mode flag in the
DCB structure, which i set to true, but it had no infuence. Dead | X|

After much research i finally managed to find how to change to wave out volume, however i am still unable to find a way to mute/change the volume of the line in line. I believe that it has to do with MIXERLINE_COMPONENTTYPE_SRC_LINE. If anyone knows how to achieve this it would be greatly appreciated.

Your question is a little vague.

Again it depends on the database and what security methods it uses.

I personally prefer writing my database connection strings to the App.Config file when Windows authentication is being used.

Or are you trying to lookup a user in a database?

Ive been battling with this prob for a LONG time now..
Using Threads and remote retrieval: i get a rpc error or COm exception sometimes? Like it's retrieving the values, and then it says rpc server unavailable and then if u carry on it will retrieve the next value.. happens with different values..

maybe deadlock occurs?

Basically- i use: private ManagementObjectSearcher m_MOSearcher;
private ManagementScope m_ManScope;
private ConnectionOptions m_ConnectOptions;

m_ConnectOptions = new ConnectionOptions ();
m_ConnectOptions.Username = "user";
m_ConnectOptions.Password = "pass";
m_ConnectOptions.Authentication = AuthenticationLevel.Call;
m_ConnectOptions.Impersonation = ImpersonationLevel.Impersonate;
m_ConnectOptions.EnablePrivileges = true;
m_ConnectOptions.Locale = "MS_409";
m_ConnectOptions.Timeout = new TimeSpan (0,0,0,0,5);

string strConnection = "\\\\"+ "192.168.0.88" + "\\root\\cimv2";

m_ManScope = new ManagementScope(strConnection, m_ConnectOptions);

ObjectQuery Temp = new ObjectQuery("SELECT " + "Size" + " FROM Win32_" + "DiskDrive");
m_MOSearcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher (m_ManScope, Temp);

foreach(ManagementObject mo in m_MOSearcher.Get())
{
Console.WriteLine("Size: " +mo["Size"].ToString ());
}

Temp = new ObjectQuery("SELECT " + "Model" + " FROM Win32_" + "DiskDrive");
m_MOSearcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher (m_ManScope, Temp);

foreach(ManagementObject mo in m_MOSearcher.Get())
{
Console.WriteLine("Model: " +mo["Model"].ToString ());
}

And thread it with:
for (int i=0; i< 250; i++)
{
Thread a = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Function));
a.Start();
}

In StringBuilder copied from richTextBox fast way to findout end of line ?

(Type your message here)

richTextBox rtb = new richTextBox();<br />
StringBuilder stb = new StringBuilder();<br />
stb.Append(rtb.Text);

In a foreach(char ch in stb.ToString()) statement I want to know if we have find end of line.
Any fast way to do this?
Could this be done without converting .ToString() by someway?

Does it have to be a StringBuilder and then running through all characters separately?
I guess using IndexOf() on rtb.Text might be faster...

It's important for me to read the characters separately and insert or remove a specific number of continous spaces(not all) at the start of any line, rapidly.

Ok, in that case I'd second the String.Split/String.Merge suggestion, because if you insert characters in your string, the system has to move the rest of the string. So creating an array of lines, modifying each line separately and then combining them again should perform much better.

A newline is not just one character for windows, it's string representation = "\r\n", which can be found in System.Environment.NewLine.

You could try comparing the current Char ch to: Char newline = '\n';, but I'm not sure that'll work. Or make a variable that holds the last char compared like so:

<br />
Char last = '';<br />
<br />
foreach(char ch in stb.ToString())<br />
{<br />
  if(ch == '\n' && last == '\r')<br />
  {<br />
   // newline<br />
  }<br />
  last = ch;<br />
}<br />

I was thinking break will take me out of if() which was in the foreach().
But it was taking me out of the foreach().
So some parts of code was not executed. Instead of break I used continue.
So my problem was solved by this way:
foreach(char ch in <code>stb.ToString())
{
......................
if(ch.ToString()=="\n")
......................
}

The "\r" doesn't appear anywhere.
Performance is low for other reasons. I should think other solutions.
Thanks.

Just look up the DateTime and TimeSpan classes in the framework.
They hold everything you need.

Is it possible to serialize an assembly

joelwwk9-Jul-04 18:26

9-Jul-04 18:26

Hi all:

I am recently thinking is it possible to serialize an assembly (I descover it in run-time) and transfer it to the remote client. Thus, the client can execute it? Bellow are more on my idea

Server:
Discover some assembly that the client may need the function that I already pre-compiled as a .dll file in server, then the server load it and send the assembly to the remote client.

Client:
This is a generic client it doesn't have much functionality by itself, but it can discover what assembly have on the server. If the function the client is needed, server will load the assembly dynamically and transfer to the client. So the client have the function to use.

By implementing this, the client can be compact and dynamic in the function.
The client even can write the source code and compile the source into an assembly which will be stored in the server. And let other client to discover and use this assembly too.

Regards,
Joel
