Is your emulator correctly configured to connect to the Internet through ActiveSync or some COM port? If not, you won't be able to establish a connection. The fact that applications on your desktop machine can connect, and that a Mobile ASP.NET web application can connect to the web services - but your smart device can'ts - points toward your device not being properly connected.
For help with configuring your device or device emulator correctly, please visit the Embedded / Mobile[^] forum here on CodeProject. It would not be a C# issue.

I would also be sure that you the reference to your web service is not set to "localhost". I had similar problems until I discovered this small, but important, problem.
|
|
|
|

So i think the emulator is configured in a right way, because the emulator works with other Smart Device Application which do not consume Web-Services. So think it is nearly the problem chris mentioned with the Web-Reference. I still thought that it might be something like this, but i deleted the Web-Reference and created a new one, but still the same problem..?? Do you know any further idea?
regards
mat
PS: i created the Web-Reference as usual. I go to the Reference Directory in the Smart Device Application solution, go to Add Web Reference and then search on the local base for my Web-Service and then click on Add Reference.

Just because one smart device application is working doesn't mean another would. The difference is that your web service consumer requires a network connection. Another smart device application may not (like a calculator or game or something).
If you search on your local host, the web reference that gets created would reference "localhost", which is always 127.0.0.1, or the local machine. You need to address your machine with the web service using a remote IP or name that resolves to something other than 127.0.0.1 like "localhost" would.
To determine if your emulator is not connected correctly, start pIE (Pocket Internet Explorer) and see if you can browse to an external site (either on your intranet or the Internet - not just a page loaded from the device like the default home page). If you cannot resolve a remote host then post a question aobut configuring the emulator to the mobile forum I posted a link to before.

 I am missing something in this private void DataGridUserManagementID_ItemDataBound(object source,
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridCommandEventArgs e)
The index is not set approprately in my dropdownlist. Can someone help me with the coding.
string strStore
ListItemType oType = ((ListItemType)e.Item.ItemType);
if ((oType == ListItemType.EditItem))
{
Response.Write("The ItemDataBound Command has been fired");
DropDownList listStore = ((DropDownList) e.Item.FindControl("ddlStores"));
strStore = ((DropDownList)(e.Item.FindControl("ddlStores"))).SelectedItem.Text;
Response.Write (strStore);
// listStore.SelectedIndex = Convert.ToInt32(strStore);
listStore.Items.IndexOf(listStore.Items.FindByText(strStore));
Response.Write(listStore.Items.IndexOf(listStore.Items.FindByText(strStore)));
}
You can feel free to email me at mcupryk@sun.net.bb if you need more information. Thank you Sincerely,

01: string strStore

03: if ((oType == ListItemType.EditItem))
04: {
05: Response.Write("The ItemDataBound Command has been fired");
06: DropDownList listStore = ((DropDownList) e.Item.FindControl("ddlStores"));

12: }
I'm having difficulty trying to read your code here. I've numbered the lines for ease of reference.
Line 1: Missing semi-colon;
Line 2: e.Item.ItemType[^] already returns an object of type ListItemType so I am curious as to why you are casting it.
Line 5: I am assuming this is for debugging only. If so, a better mechanism would be setting up tracing. See: Enabling Tracing for a Page[^] and Writing Trace Messages[^]
Line 7: Finding the control again is redundant here because you did that on line 6. Change the line to strStore = listStore.SelectedItem.Text
Line 8: See previous comments on tracing
Line 10: You perform an IndexOf operation but do not store the value anywhere.
Line 11: You perform the same IndexOf operation again.
Now, to answer your question:
On line 6 you get the DropDownList, once you have this you can use the SelectedIndex[^] property to get the index of the selected item.
Does this help?
Do you want to know more?

I did as you told me and still having problems. Also when I have to go back in edit mode I must have the dropdownlist index preselected. But one thing at a time. Below the code is the error, this is why I cast it. Now, if I want to save the index how to I go about doing so. I appreciate any help. Thanks.

In line 180 of your source code you need to cast to a DropDownList.
e.g.
DropDownList listStore = (DropDownList)(e.Item.FindControl("ddlStores"));
In case there was confusion with my earlier post. The line of your source code that reads: ListItemType oType = ((ListItemType)e.Item.ItemType); is the line that does not need the cast, as ItemType already returns a value of type ListItemType

Thank you. I still have a problem when I return to edit mode the index for the dropdownlist starts at 0. How do I set this when we change the index. Can u help me please.

I'm not quite with you there. All collections in the .NET framework are zero based.
macupryk wrote:

I still don't quite understand. How do you set what when the index is changed?
The only thing that I can think that you mean is that the index does not change in the editor - but I cannot imagine why anyone would want that, or that it would be useful. The index can only change within a running program.

hi
I need to print text but the font height has to be configurable.
I know I can change the font size at run time, but changing the font size changes both height and width proportioally.
For example I need to increase the witdh X2 ,and the height X 4.
Thanks!

Fonts are graphical representation of characters and are designed to resize proportionally. If you need to resize them disproportionately, then you'll need to transform them.
One way would be to either create a new Graphics device or to adjust your math - if possible - to account for the transformation you'll be performing to the Graphics object.
To perform the transformation, you can use a myriad of methods on the Graphics class - all documented in the .NET Framework SDK. One such method follows:
using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;
using System.Windows.Forms;
class Test : Form
{
static void Main()
{
Application.Run(new Test());
}
Test()
{
StretchLabel lbl = new StretchLabel();
Controls.Add(lbl);
lbl.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
lbl.ScaleHeight = 4f;
lbl.Font = new Font(Font.FontFamily, 20f);
lbl.ScaleWidth = 2f;
lbl.Text = "Sample";
Text = "Sample";
}
}
class StretchLabel : Label
{
SizeF size = SizeF.Empty;
float scaleWidth = 1f;
float scaleHeight = 1f;
[DefaultValue(1f)]
public float ScaleWidth
{
get { return scaleWidth; }
set { scaleWidth = value; }
}
[DefaultValue(1f)]
public float ScaleHeight
{
get { return scaleHeight; }
set { scaleHeight = value; }
}
protected override void OnTextChanged(EventArgs e)
{
using (Graphics g = CreateGraphics())
size = g.MeasureString(Text, Font, (SizeF)Size);
base.OnTextChanged(e);
}
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
Graphics g = e.Graphics;
g.ScaleTransform(scaleWidth, scaleHeight, MatrixOrder.Append);
g.DrawString(Text, Font, new SolidBrush(ForeColor), PointF.Empty);
base.OnPaint(e);
}
}Pay close attention to the Graphics.ScaleTransform, which I recommend reading about in the .NET Framework SDK.

Hi,
I was making a very simple windows application in C#. the application runs fine when i create a new windows application but when i add a button on the form a problem occurs. Although the application compiles correctly, but when i run the application it gives an exception saying,
"An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArithmeticException' occurred in system.drawing.dll
Additional information: Overflow or underflow in the arithmetic operation."
I am really confused here because i am placing the button on the form using the form designer. i have not even touched the code itself. i also tried to add the button to the form by coding myself but the same problem exists.
please help me i will be really thankful.
bye.

Try changing your code to the following and seeing if it helps any:
[DllImport("msvcr70.dll", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)]<br />
public static extern int _controlfp(int n, int mask);<br />
<br />
<br />
[STAThread]<br />
static void Main() <br />
{<br />
_controlfp(_CW_DEFAULT, 0xfffff);<br />
Application.Run(new Form1());<br />
}

Hello!
I've used C# and .NET for about a year and i would need some help with books to buy. I need some good books in OOP thinking (not syntax and such, but tips about different approaches to different problems). And also visual c# books that are above beginner level. I would really like the books to be in project-form, meaning it takes you through the stages of several smaller applications/projects.
So if anyone has any tips i would appreciate it!
Thanks!

Hi
How can get the information about folders and files on a web server in C#. I want to create a application that will download folders and files from web server.

Unless the web server is specifically setup to allow you to get the list of files and folders, you're sunk. Now-a-days, for security reasons, 95% of them DON'T let you see this stuff. You'll have to do this using FTP if the site has an FTP server pointed at the same pages.
You could write a web page scraper that would follow and download the files for every link in each page and download every file, keeping track of which directory these files come from on the web server.
But, then again, this has been done many time over. A good example of this kind of work is BlackWidow[^] by Softbyte Labs.
Sites have even developed countermeasures for rippers like this too. Noone wants all of their copyrighted content taken from them without they're permission, now do they?

|
|
|
Another example is Flashget Site explorer feature
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to using FTP like Dave mentioned, you could also try DAV but this isn't not implemented on a majority of servers and is typically authorized only to authenticated users.
A web crawler (not scraper, which grabs content from a page instead of crawling the links like a web crawler) would suffice. Keep a collection of directories and files and do NOT follow <FORM> actions. You're in a world of trouble if you do, and could be held liable for damages (not to mention more difficult parsing is often involved).
But Dave's right; there are serious legal concerns for crawling and caching certain content, much more in the last few years than when the Web first started. Besides, as Dave and the other reply pointed out there's already many programs that do this. Why developer yet another?

Hi all,
Thanks for your suggestions.
In fact I am new to web programing. I was wondering if we could download through the browser then why not through myown application.
I just want to avoid the windows progress bar while downloading. And also specify certain urls and forget about it. These will be automatically downloaded to the specified folder. Cool ! right ?
Thanks again
