If both client and server are .NET apps, use Remoting.

Web Service does not mean that you HAVE to go over the internet.

Just have it running on your service and use the machine name on the client. Your network config should then auto-magically decide that no outside routing is necessary.

Cheers,
Sebastian

If you can see your server application being consumed by non .NET clients on the same machine then web services are the only way to go.

Otherwise, I don't see what's wrong with remoting.

See this article, it might help you out: http://www.developer.com/net/net/article.php/2201701

I hope you really meant to say that you send the username and a hash of the password to the server and check whether they are in the database.

Managing at Runtime-created Controls in C#

Hi everybody, Smile | :)

I am working on a PDA project and the user interface (UI) should be constructed by reading XML files (XMLTextReader) and upon the contents creating the approperate Contols.

The problem is on the following areas:

1. How to adapt the perant-child relationships between controls obtained from XML file and set them(since .net Compact Framework does not support Name property in Control class)

2. Connecting event handlers is not a problem but how to access within the event handler another controls (not the sender) which will be created in runtime.

Every reply is welcomed!

Thanks in advance for the effort.

I'm sorry that i didnt mention it earlier, but i need to add combobox to opendialog box in winForms.

combobox contents verify fails

Hi all,

I'm going to verify a selected item of a combobox with the contents of a datatable in the
combobox.SelectionChangeCommitted method.

But
"SELECT * FROM table WHERE field = " + combobox.Text;
fails due to the combobox.Text doesn't got the selected item yet.

When does the combobox.Text has the valid value from the selected combobox.list ?
Is there a flag to check for completing

I don't want to use a delay or wait.

Thank's for your ideas

Frank

How to pass arguments to the thread...
I do the next things in the constructor:

m_PaintThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(PaintMap));

And next things in function that calls the thread:

if(m_PaintThread.IsAlive)
								{
									m_PaintThread.Abort();
									m_PaintThread.Join();
								}
								m_PaintThread.Start();

So...
In that thread i draw the map, and i call the function CreateGraphics,
but it says that an object reference is required when i call nonstatic method...
I remember in C++ I could pass the parent class in parameter LPVOID lParam,
But how to make it here???

And another question - How to paint map Without Flicking? So how to implement double buffered painting...

Re: Thread

Judah Gabriel Himango30-Jun-05 5:27

Use ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(), which lets you pass a single object argument to your thread. Or use TheDelegateYouAreUsing.BeginInvoke, which allows you to pass all the arguments necessary.

Rassul Yunussov wrote:

Inherit a new class from the control you want to draw on. In its constructor, use this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer | ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint | ControlStyles.UserPaint, true);

A word of warning: be careful passing state between threads. It's generally a bad idea because things get hairy when dealing with multiple threads accessing the same variable.

Also, keep in mind you should NEVER access a Windows Form control (or any other Win32 common control-based object) from a thread other than the creating thread. The only Windows Forms control methods you're allowed to call on another thread are Invoke, BeginInvoke, and CreateGraphics().

But how to Stop the thread, created by this method???
It is necessery to stop my thread, because it draws the image in the canvas and if i'll start to draw the scene, when the first thread haven't finished its work they both will draw??? The image will be spoiled... I think...

Re: Thread

The thread will stop when the method has finished executing. If you want to cancel it before then, either roll your own cancelling mechanism (have some static "cancelled" flag or something), or use Thread.Abort() and catch the resulting ThreadAbortException.

Sending multple files to AXIS web service

quim_rocha30-Jun-05 0:15

Hi,

I'm new to C# and .NET framework.

I need to send several files to a AXIS (Java) web service. This web service takes as Input an HashMap that has the files mentioned. The complex type HashMap has been serialized with success and I'm able to send this type to the service:
eg. :

namespacexpto.mapItem [] mI = new  namespacexpto.mapItem[2] ;<br />
                 mI[0] = new  namespacexpto.InsDoc.mapItem();<br />
                 mI[0].key = "key";<br />
                 mI[0].value = value;

Serialization:

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(Namespace="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap")]<br />
    public class mapItem {<br />
       <br />
        /// <remarks/><br />
        [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(IsNullable=true)]<br />
        public object key;<br />
       <br />
        /// <remarks/><br />
        [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(IsNullable=true)]<br />
        public object [] value;<br />
    }

My question is how can I send (if possible) the files to the Web Service. If that is not possible, can anyone suggest a different approach to the problem.

The Java source that implements the service is:

(...)<br />
                  File ficheiro = new File(filepath);<br />
   FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(ficheiro);<br />
   <br />
   AttachmentPart teste =(AttachmentPart) map.get("ficheiro");<br />
   <br />
   DataHandler dj = (DataHandler)teste.getDataHandler();<br />
   <br />
   BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(dj.getInputStream());<br />
   while(in.available()!=0)<br />
   {<br />
        fout.write(in.read());<br />
   }<br />
   System.out.println("ficheiro is file " +ficheiro.isFile());<br />
   while (ficheiro.length() == 0)<br />
   {<br />
        <br />
   }<br />
   fout.flush();<br />
   fout.close();<br />
                       (...)

Tanks in advance for all the help.

normal behaviour for writeline?

beginsomewhere

29-Jun-05 23:58

hi, i am using writeline to write out very long lines to a file, the lines are approx 2000 chars, but i am getting spurious '0A' in a continuous line,

anyone know why?

Re: normal behaviour for writeline?

Corinna John1-Jul-05 0:27

*.WriteLine methods add "0D 0A" after each row, to produce a windows style line break.
If it only adds "0A", set TextWriter.NewLine to "0D 0A" or use a different encoding.

Anyone can help on giving some sources or examples? I need to develope a small web based reminder system using C# but I could not find any references..
Any good sites?
Thanks a lot~~;)

You're going to have to explain, in more detail, what you mean by a "web-based reminder system". How do you want the user to be notified of the reminder?

Actually the system will consist of a small scheduling system which mean that it will remind the login user if there is a meeting on certain date or a due date is reaching..i just need a simple pop up reminder with sounds. (like alarm clock..)

thanks.

No kidding! Mad | :mad:

That's also no description of how you want these people notified! Since your server can't contact the client machines without a server running on them, I don't see how you're going to remind them of anything!

Now, do you want to explain how you were really thinking of doing this?
