When I bought my USB-to-serial cable, it came with a CD-ROM containing a driver. When I installed it, it turned the port into a regular serial port, so it shows up in all serial port enumerations, and most/all serial apps can use it, whether HyperTerminal or some .NET based app using SerialPort class.

The app never is aware the USB-based serial port is connected in a different manner, all the nasty details are hidden by Windows and the device drivers.

BTW: there are minor differences between such a USB-to-serial cable and a regular serial port, mainly in timing; it is not able to achieve very high speed in toggling the control lines, which for most applications is irrelevant; if however the attached hardware requires very short pulses on say the DTR/DSR/RTS pins, the motherboard- based serial port might be able to deliver and the USB-to-serial might not, due to the fact USB communication requires data packets, which must be transmitted and interpreted, whereas a direct port is much "closer" to the CPU.

I want to create a desktop application having a single centralized server
which accepts multiple client connections and responds them.

I am trying to use TcpListener class (for server) and TcpClient class (for clients). The server and client application are able to connect but I am not able to accept multiple clients connections.

Can anyone help me out to solve this issue.

Event handling Object reference error

I am trying to create an on update event and have recieved the following error:

An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'RenishawVMCU.CommandParser.OnUpdate(RenishawVMCU.CommandData)'

It is generated form this line: OnUpdate(rxPortData);

public class CommandParser
   {
      CommandData rxPortData = new CommandData();


public delegate void delUpdate(CommandData commandData);
      public event delUpdate update;
      
      protected virtual void OnUpdate(CommandData commandData)
      {
         if (update != null)
         {
            this.update(commandData);
         }
      }
}
 public static string ParseCommand(string m_recievedUCCData)
      {         
         byte[] rxData;

         rxData = StrToByteArray(m_recievedUCCData);

         //CommandData rxPortData = new CommandData();
         CommandData rxPortData = ParseCommand(rxData);

         //OnUpdate(rxPortData);

         rxData.ToString();
         return "Parsing done!" ;
        
      }


public class VirtualMCU
   {
public VirtualMCU()
      {
         cmdParser.update += new CommandParser.delUpdate(cmdParser_update);
      }
}

Does anyone know what could be wrong as this is the only line that is causing a problem i cant work it out.

ParseCommand is a static method.
You cannot access non static methods / members from the static one.

This is static

public static string ParseCommand(string m_recievedUCCData)
{
    // ...
    OnUpdate(rxPortData);
    // ...
}

This is not so can only be called by an instance of CommandParser

protected virtual void OnUpdate(CommandData commandData)
{
    // ...
}

If there is no particular reason for the ParseCommand method to be static, then make it an instance member. Alternatively, pass a CommandParser instance as a parameter into the ParseCommand method and act on that.

public static string ParseCommand(string m_recievedUCCData, CommandParser commandParser)
{
    // ...
    commandParser.OnUpdate(rxPortData);
    // ...
}

Thanx for the help. I had not yet learnt of this so was useful information.

i soleved the probelm by passing in the perameter as you suggested which stopped the error.

This is the final code, it didnt have a problem with calling Parsecommand(byte[]) as the method is static.

public static string ParseCommand(string m_recievedUCCData, CommandParser commandParser)
     {
        byte[] rxData;

        rxData = StrToByteArray(m_recievedUCCData);

        CommandData rxPortData = ParseCommand(rxData);

        commandParser.OnUpdate(rxPortData);

        //rxData.ToString();
        return "Parsing done!" ;

     }

Hi,
Created a user i.e. UserA in the domain.
Added this user to the administrators group in serverA.
Using C#, I impersonate this user in my application.
Then using UserA, the application creates a vbscript on ServerA.
Problem is that the vbscript does not get run when I use the processstart call
The error is vbscript engine is not found.
Please note that if I log into the application using my credentials then all works fine and the script runs correctly on serverA.
Do you know why I get the below error if logged in as UserA?
I have also run regsvr32 vbscript on serverA but this does not help in the case of UserA

Error is:
Can not find script engine vbscript for script "path of the vbscript".

Thanks

Read it into a MemoryStream. Then compress it using the System.IO.Compression.GZipStream class. You could also use the #ZipLib library - there is an article on this site about it (MemoryStream Compression[^])

Most efficient way of taking a screenshot? [modified]

The Subject says it all... At the moment I am using the following method:

Bitmap bmpScreenshot = new Bitmap(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width, Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);

Graphics gfxScreenshot = Graphics.FromImage(bmpScreenshot);

gfxScreenshot.CopyFromScreen(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.X, Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Y, 0, 0, Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Size, CopyPixelOperation.SourceCopy);

However, since I need to be taking screenshots at around every 250ms, I need to find the most efficient way possible (if any)...

Thanks!

Note: I have found that taking partial parts of the screen is much more efficient, but at the moment I need all the screen taken...

from what i understand, you want to display the image in the picture box. there should be a Load function for the purpose.
you can do something like:

picturebox1.Load("image path here");
