0. No-one will download your code and fix it for you.
1. I am not a fan of CrappyReports; they have to grind down cute puppies to build this software.
2. I am guessing you have a paramatised report and a form for entering said paramater. Check the CR documentation [har har] on how to pass on to the other.
3. There are 865,492 better reporting tools that are free!

Panic, Chaos, Destruction.
My work here is done.

Inheritance

Hi from what I understand, the built-in System.Windows.Forms.Label class inherits from the System.Windows.Forms.Control class. Is there any way to change the Form.Label class' inheritance to a custom (SectionControl) class which is derived from the Forms.Control class?

so basically,

class SectionControl : Control
class MyLabel : Label

but override/replace the existing implict 'System.Windows.Forms.Label : Control' inheritance to 'System.Windows.Forms.Label : SectionControl'.

That way I get the benefits from both the SectionControl and MyLabel specializations. If this is possible I would proceed to add MyTextBox, MyCheckBox, etc... classes also deriving from the obvious parent and thereby retaining the commonality of all the custom controls in the SectionControl class. As C# doesn't allow multiple inheritance, and as i'm not interested in a semantic Interface either I'm at a loss. Any suggestions?

No. But you could wrap a Label in something that derives from SectionControl.

Calculation of Efficiency using Microsoft Solver Foundation

Hi All,

Is it possible to calculate Efficiency of different Business Units on the basis some inputs and output using Microsoft Solver Foundation?

Following is the sample data for which efficiency needs to calculate.
Each row here represent the details of each Business Units.
1st column "Location" contains the location of business unit
2nd & 3rd columns "Personal" & "Business" are the outputs
4th column "Staff" is the input.

Location Personal Business Staff
Croydon 125 50 18
Dorking 44 20 16
Redhill 80 55 17
Reigate 23 12 11

In MS Excel, there is a add-in named as "Solver" that can be used to calculate the efficiency. For that we need to add the weighted output, weighted input and some more columns to meet the requirement of Solver add-in.

I believe some thing similar should be existing with Microsoft Solver Foundation, and can be calculate the efficiency programatically.

you all are requested to provide your thoughts on the same...

An earlier reply will be appreciated.

Thanks for your reply. But that code brings focus forcefully to the excel application which I dont want and Marshal.GetActiveObject() will not work in that case.

System.Timers.Timer doesn't stop with Stop()

Hi I have a timer which I've created in runtime with System.Timers.Timer myTimer = new System.Timers.Timer(10000);

I make some settings of this timer and start it with this code:

myTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(myMethod);
myTimer.Start();

After myTimer started I stop myTimer using myTimer.Stop();

Some time later I need to start myTimer again so I start it with myTimer.Start(); But the weird thing is that it didn't actually stop when myTimer.Stop(); was executed. It's like two instances of myTimer are ticking at different times but I just want the last one to work.

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

I think the code block where new ElapsedEventHandler is added is called more than once.

It means when even is raised, more than once the myMethod will be called, and hence the timer will be incremented.

So can I add more than one ElapsedEventHandler to my timer right?

If I

myTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(Method1);
myTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(Method2);

then when myTimer ticks both Method1 and Method2 runs, right?

If I

myTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(Method);
myTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(Method);

then when myTimer ticks Method will run twice, right?

Yes, but I doubt you want to do that; did you do that accidently?

So on every block I think it is better to do

myTimer.Elapsed -= new ElapsedEventHandler(Method);
myTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(Method);

By this way even if this block is running more than one, everytime it will remove the eventhandler and then add it. Provided, if you are unsure that this block will run more than once.

Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

Thank you, that is a nice way of doing it too.

But I solved it with adding a global int called Session with default value 0. And everytime I get this adding ElapsedEventHandler if this session is greater than 1 I don't add it.

I had a timer which I stopped and started some time later. But when I started it for the second time it was doing what it was doing when ticked twice. It turned out that I was adding new eventhandler twice Smile | :)

Debugging unmanaged DLL called from managed C#

I've got simple console C# project that calls unmanaged DLL with Interop. I need to step into native DLL function either from C# or debug native DLL and break in C++ debugger.

I set up Enable unmanaged code debugging in C# console.
The DLL function is called correctly, e.g. it prints the message to console.

But as I run DLL with F5 and it invokes C# console, the break points do not work.
Nor can I step into DLL unmanaged code from C# console
