Hi Colin,
thank you for your fast reply. This is really good idea but actually it does not help in my case. Actually I did not expressed my problem quite well. If I have a in a TextBox the string "1.2" I need to parse it as a 1.2 number and the problem is that when I have different decimal symbol not the dot I get quite astonishing numbers, such as for example 1200 by a german language settings due to that the dot is a digit grouping symbol Smile | :)

. So my program must not take the german regional setting (if it is set so) but the english(united states) one.
Thank you in advance for any help

It is not too different from the code I provided above

CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("en-US");
NumberFormatInfo nfi = ci.NumberFormat;
double myParsedDouble = myDouble.Parse(txtMyTextBox.Text, nfi);

As the US English Culture already has the correct number format for parsing 1.2 as six fifths rather than 1200 you don't need to create a clone of NumberFormatInfo object and modify it.

Does this help?

Well Colin that sure would help. Really thank you for that help. Actually quite stupid from me that I have not noticed that to Parse could be passed a CultureInfo too. Really much obliged Smile | :)

Transparent Panel

I can't believe I can't make a panel transparent, Mad | :mad:

I've spent a good couple of hours this morning, if I set the panel to transparent what seems to happen is the panel is drawn with the same color as the form which is ok, but if I have other stuff behind the panel that I want to show throught the panel, then I can't see those controls.

Any help is appretiated.

You have to set the panel order to background or drop the controls you want to show through in the panel.

I'm no expert in Oracle, but my first guess would be to remove the colons you put in the parameter names.

cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM USERS WHERE USER_ID = pUserId"
cmd.Parameters.Add( new OracleParameter( "pUserId", OracleType.VarChar )).Value = "[USER_ID]" )

Putting "special" characters in an identifier is just not a good idea in any language.

Converting from a Byte Array to an int / double

I'm relatively new to C#.

I need to find a way to convert a section of a byte[] to an double or convert to an int if required.

In C++ I would use the algorythms below but I don't know how to express this in a form that c# is happy with.

for an int

BYTE dBytes[4];
int ret = *(int*) dBytes;

for a double

BYTE dBytes[8];
int ret = *(int*) dBytes;

You're going to have to be alot more specific about what your trying to do.
Define "device related" and what device?

C# and VB.NET are too high level for efficient device driver work...

Have you searched the Internet yet? There is a project on GotDotNet using TAPI in C#, there is also this book too: Network Programming in .NET[^]

The best resource on TAPI and C# is here on GotDotNet[^]

IMO. TAPI and C# aren't a good mix. It just adds an extra layer of complexity. Unless you are well versed with TAPI, I'd say clear of trying to use it through C#.

Is it possible to set the location of a main form within the screen to the same position every time the app is started?

The propertie Form.StartPosition seems to make little difference.

I read/write the forms size from the registry, but without controling it's start position it's only half a job.

Re: Form location

Nick Parker6-Aug-04 3:28

Make sure you set the Form.StartPosition equal to FormStartPosition.Manual, then you can specify the Top and Left positions. Persist this value where ever you like (database, XML, config) and set properly at runtime.

Again: Reflection and array´s...

Norman-Timo6-Aug-04 2:27

Hello everybody!

My problem is to get/set individual array items which are instanced via reflection.

To give you an overwiew here´s some code:

***************************************************

System.Reflection.Assembly assembly;
assembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFrom(dllfilename);

foreach(Type assemblyType in assembly.GetTypes())
{
if (assemblyType.IsClass)
objInstance = Activator.CreateInstance(viptype);

foreach(FieldInfo f in objInstance.GetFields(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance))
{
if (f.FieldType.IsArray)
{
// read every array value!
// f.GetValue(objInstance) returns only a complete value (and I don´t know how to handle this)
// How can I access to every array item itself???
}
else
{
// do something different. This is working fine!
}
}
}

*************************************************

And the source from the assembly looks something like that (extremely shortened, but same structure):

************************

public class myClass
{
public int ID;

// Test
public int Test;

// Array
public int array[15];
}

************************

How can I get in the source at the top for example the 10th integer of the array?

Please help me

It is reflecting against what was just loaded into memory, there will be no value in the 10th position of the array.

Use the methods as given in the Array base class, or access it via the "Item" property.

MDI Child Window Sizing

James Spibey6-Aug-04 1:13

James Spibey

6-Aug-04 1:13

Hi,

I have an app which consists of a Main Window and 10 or so client windows. However, I need the app to work like an SDI in that only one window is visible at a time and that window should be maximized.

If I set all my child windows to have WindowState.Maximized this kind of works, but after switching windows 4 or 5 times, I end up with all the windows showing but not maximized.

I have tried various things including overriding OnActivated, OnResizing, OnSizeChanged and changing the windowstate and window size but none seem to work.

Where should I be looking? Is this controlled by the child forms or the MDI Parent?

Thanks for any help

Cheers

James
