A simple lookup on MSDN will help you. I suggest you do that in future before asking because
* you learn better that way
* somebody is not always going to be around to help you
Please don't think I'm being harsh or condescending.
This is what you're supposed to do, if you want the date as a string in the DD/MM/YYYY format:
DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
string todaysDate = dt.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");
Now you can do whatever you want with this string. Retrieving the time is very similar, just change the format string in the call to ToString() .
HTH.

I want to develop and aplication to te information from 1 weigthing machine that is connected to my serial port. but the problem there is no DLL or any library that i can use from the machine vendor.
thay only let me know tha address where i can get the data from and after i get the i have to delete the data from the machine..
how do i make my a serial port listener that whenever the machin have activity i have to get notified by the machine.
thanks..

Without knowing any details about the scale and how it communicates, you're going to be doing LOTS of trial-and-error testing to figure out how the thing works and what you're going to have to do to get the information you need. There's no standard to follow here.
It could be as simple and opening the Serial port the scale is attached to (with the correct communication parameters of course!) and waiting for the scale to send you a weight. Beyond that, try it and see what happens.

You can use the System.IO.Ports namespace in your project. The SerialPort class is very simple to use. I guess your weighting machine has a special way to send data on the port. If you don't know, I suggest that you use an RS-232 analyzer to see what's being sent by the weighting machine.

Hello gurus,
I can successfully use the serial communication in .NET 2 but I'd like to know if it is possible to communicate with a USB driver in C#?
I could do this in C++ with the CreateFile function, but I wonder if we can do this with .NET 2...
The Win32 call I wish to do in .NET 2 is the following:
<br />
strChannel=_T("\\\\.\\HPx9G+\\PIPE0");<br />
m_hInput=::CreateFile(strChannel, GENERIC_READ, FILE_SHARE_READ, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING, NULL);<br />
Is it possible at last in .NET 2?
Thanks for the help.
Best regards.
Fred.

Hi Christian,
This site is what I am looking for for a list of api to be used are this applicable in Windows Xp and Windows CE? It seems there is no explanation as to what each method of api does. Thanks.
I have look and not found exactly what I wanted.

This site covers all APIs, read the API docs to see what's in CE and what's in XP ( until Vista comes out, I assume it's all in XP anyhow )

Christian,
Thanks for reply. I am looking for functions/methods in reseting pc, controlling audio on/off, setting volume, setting screen brightness, things like that. Seems I did not find other functionalities in the site you mentioned.

Actually it seems to be a .NET stub to the Win32 API, so if I do such a thing, my project will become a nightmare and it won't be a full .NET application. Maybe communications with drivers will be available in .NET 3
Thanks for your help.

that's exactly what it is pinvoke is a way to call any standard c/c++ library from .net apps. As for it not being a full .net app, most (all?) of the winform classes are MS written wrappers that simply pinvoke the win32 api themselves.

im using .net 2.0 and the TableLayoutPanel, when i add/move controls to/in the grid it flickers alot, ive tried <code>SetStyle(ControlStyles.OptimizedDoubleBuffer, true);</code> but still flickers.
im using this method to add the controls
<code>
this.tableLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(control, column, row);
</code>
and for moving
<code>
this.field.tableLayoutPanel1.SetRow(control, position);
</code>
any ideas?
Thanks

When I try to compile my class I get this error:
Type of conditional expression can't be determined because there is no implicit conversion between '<null>' and 'int'
Which would make sense, but I am not trying to put a null in an int, I'm trying to stick null in an object...
parms[0].Value = _categoryID == -1 ? null : _categoryID;
where parms is of type SqlParameter[]
Now, if do:
<br />
parms[0].Value = null;<br />
or
<br />
if( _categoryID == -1 )<br />
{<br />
parms[0].Value = null;<br />
}<br />
else<br />
{<br />
parms[0].Value = _categoryID;<br />
}<br />
it compiles and works fine. Now obviously this isn't a game breaker because I can write out every if/else statement longhand. However, I should be able to use a ternary condition, right?

Basically, you can't do this. This is because you're evaluating an expression (bool?x:y) that is trying to return 2 different types, an object reference and int.
From the MSDN Gospel:
The second and third operands of the ?: operator control the type of the conditional expression. Let X and Y be the types of the second and third operands. Then,
If X and Y are the same type, then this is the type of the conditional expression.
Otherwise, if an implicit conversion exists from X to Y, but not from Y
to X, then Y is the type of the conditional expression.
Otherwise, if an implicit conversion exists from Y to X, but not from X
to Y, then X is the type of the conditional expression.
Otherwise, no expression type can be determined, and a compile-time error occurs.
What all this means, is that the compiler error occurs because there is no conversion possible between int and null . It looks like you'll have to do it using an if statement.

hi,
i want to save a picture in the ico-format and tried it like this:
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(16, 16);<br />
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp);<br />
<br />
Font f = new Font("Arial", 5);<br />
LinearGradientBrush b = new LinearGradientBrush(ClientRectangle, Color.Red, Color.Red, LinearGradientMode.Horizontal);<br />
g.DrawString("ABC", f, b, 1, 1);<br />
pictureBox1.Image = bmp;<br />
<br />
bmp.Save("d:\\test.ico", ImageFormat.Icon);<br />
Icon = new Icon("d:\\test.ico");<br />
}
somehow it doesn't work, i just don't have a clue what the reason is.
i hope someone can help me.

Hi man try this:
System.IO.FileStream stream = System.IO.File.Create(@"c:\myIcon.ico");
Icon ico= System.Drawing.Icon.FromHandle(bmp.GetHicon());
ico.Save(stream);
hope that helped

I have a grid control that takes an IList, ITypedList or IBindingList object as a DataSource. I'm currently using a System.Data.DataTable and the performance is pretty dismal. I've isolated the bottle neck as being the build of the DataTable. My question is, which of the various data collections is the lightest weight and most efficient? Thanks.

An IList implementation is the lightest of the three. But, why is filling your DataTable taking so long? I ask because if it's an inefficient process, you'll run into the same lag when filling an IList object.

Hi everyone!
I got a little problem with an asyncronous WebRequest, or more precise, with its exception handler.
I'm calling a method that issues an asyncronous WebRequest and returnes its IAsyncResult to be able to wait for it lateron. Everything works fine so far, but if the host is unreachable an exception is thrown and an error message is added to my RequestState, which is returned along with the IAsyncResult. The problem is that in many cases that error message is added to the RequestState after my surrounding class received and waited for the WebRequests IAsyncResult.WaitHandle (which of cause is compleated and no error messages are found). So i'm trying for quite a while now to, 'sort of', syncronize that mechanism with a ManualResetEvent inside an asyncronously called delegate whose IAsyncResult is returned instead of the WebRequests IAsyncResult, but with no success.
I'm not very familiar with threaded applications, so i don't know exactly what to look for... so it would be great if someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance!
Below some pseudo-code with the general structure:
public void CallingMethod()<br />
{<br />
<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
public IAsyncResult Process()<br />
{<br />
IAsyncResult asyncResult = myWebRequest.BeginGetResponse(RespCallback, myRequestState);<br />
return asyncResult;<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void RespCallback(IAsyncResult asyncResult)<br />
{<br />
try<br />
{<br />
resp = req.EndGetResponse(asyncResult);<br />
}<br />
catch (Exception ex)<br />
{<br />
string errorMessage = string.Format("host unreachable...");<br />
((MyRequestState)asyncResult.AsyncState).AddStatusMessage(errorMessage);<br />
}<br />
}

Is is possible to have a C# app update text boxes in a webpage that I don't own?
For example if there was a webpage that had a couple of textarea input fields would it be possible to write a C# app that could put text into those textarea's?
Thanks.

Hi Aaron,
Do you actually need to do this? Perhaps if you are wanting to send data to a particular website you could simulate the POST with HttpWebRequest ...?

Rob Philpott.
