What does the C# command this.BeginInvoke(new CaptureDone(this.OnCaptureDone));? And what's this in C++? Is it a message (like a windows message WM_???) or is it a callback funktion, that will be called?

It is similar to a callback function; except that BeginInvoke will call the method from a different thread.

Invoke and BeginInvoke are related. They are directly related to threading. If "this" is a System.Windows.Control or a descendant, then they also have a correspondence with windows messages.
BeginInvoke just triggers the activity and keeps on moving.
Invoke waits until the activity is finished before continuing.
Example 1:
Thread 1 creates a Form with a list view.
Thread 2 wants to change the content of the list.
Thread 2 calls Form.BeginInvoke(...).
Thread 2 keeps on doing stuff while Thread 1 does the work.
Example 2:
Thread 1 creates a Form with a list view.
Thread 2 wants to change the content of the list.
Thread 2 calls Form.Invoke(...).
Thread 2 waits until Thread 1 finishes the work.
Thread 2 continues.
It is easy to see that for list view changes, this is posting messages and either waiting or not waiting for a response. The message thing also relates to the idea that only the Creating thread should make changes to the window.
If you were talking about generic BeginInvoke and Invoke for use with Delegates, then the message relation is thrown out and we're talking solely about callbacks.

Greetings!
I found myself trying to create an add-in in Vs.net using C# but was not quite sure where to start. I have searched the site and several others including the msdn.microsoft.com site for information in regards to this.
If anyone has any information/tutorials/point in the right direction type assistance please inform!
My end goal is to create an add-in for outlook..
Thanks!

I have no experience in writing Outlook add-ins but something like this might be of interest...

Are there anything like C++ "%s" or "%f" in C#? Essentially if you have a big query and you have 10 placeholders, what is the cleanest way of filling it up...for instance, in MFC you could do ,
LPCSTR lpQuery = "EXEC MySP %s, %s,%s";
CString szQuery;
szQuery.Format("a", "b", "c");
which is clean and simple....how would you do something like this in c#?

You can do a similar thing in C# with the String.Format() method.
See:
http://search.microsoft.com/gomsuri.asp?n=3&c=rp_Results&
siteid=us/dev&target=http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/
cpref/html/frlrfSystemStringClassFormatTopic.asp
The long and short of it is this:
sQuery = String.Format("EXEC MySP {0}", sSPVariable);

This kind of code can lead to some bugs and security issues. If you want to keep with it or for uses other than SQL queries, use String.Format(), or, for better performance and solve the bugs I've mentioned, use classes like SqlCommand and SqlParameter.

Hi,
this is my first posting to this message board... i hope you can help me and i can help you in further questions:
is it possible to create an indexer that is defined as followed:
public String this[Object NestedObject]
is it possible to define a Indexer that is defined as followed:
public String NestedObjects[Object NestedObject]
so that i can access as followed:
Object.NestedObjects[Object2];
is that possible in C# or not possible. As i need to access in that way to nested objects, which are defined in the object as an array:
Object [] NestedObjects = {};
thx in advance

I have an application that creates a Mutex before calling Application.Run. With a call of Mutex.WaitOne(1, True) I check to see if it is blocking. If it is blocked that means there is another instance of the application already running so I exit, and if it is not blocked then I continue executing the application.
The debug build works as expected: the first call to my executable loads and displays the MainForm with subsequent calls to the executable quiting after realizing it is blocked. However, the release build does not work correctly. Subsequent runs of th executable do not get block, and I end up with multiple instances of the application running simulataneously.
I have no DEBUG conditional or specified code. With some testing I was able to figure out that if I turned off compiler optimizations and turned on the generation of debugging information, the release mode would work as expected.
Anyone know what could be causing this strange bahavior? Do Mutexes behave differently under different project configuration properties?
Thanks for any help or ideas.

I figured out some more details of what's going on. It is still a mystery to me.
My application actually does more than just shutdown when it finds out that there is another instance of the application running. It notifies the first instance that there was an attempt to open another instance. It does so by using Remoting, marshalling a communicator object using a TcpChannel.
When the first instance starts it begins by creating a Mutex, it then creates the communicator object, publishes it to a Uri, creates a TcpChannel, and registers the TcpChannel. The Mutex suceeds in blocking all subsequent instances up until the point it creates the TcpChannel. The thread should still own the Mutex since I neither removed the Mutex nor exited the thread. The funny thing is that when debug information is included and compiler optimization is turned off, the Mutex blocks until the first instance is closed...
The line that creates the TcpChannel, and which seems to be causing the problems with the Mutex is as follows:
TcpChannel tcp = New TcpChannel(props, null, null);
where props is justa hastable with bindTo=127.0.0.1 and port=0.
Any ideas?

That is what I based my code on. The code dealing with the mutexes is pretty much identical, my program really only differs in how it responds to subsequent launches of the application.
I was able to get it working in the Realase version of the application by adding a fix. I recreate the Mutex right after I create the TcpChannel that causes the program to lose the Mutex for some reason. I have no idea what is going on, but it works now, so that's nice. I would still like to do it without this fix if possible, if anyone has so idea.

I am using Charles Petzold's "Programming Microsoft Windows with C#" to learn Windows Forms programming. Unfortunately, it does not include using the IDE. I have modified one of his examples of a tree to include several panels and various controls to test the class member functions. I have also added controls with the IDE. A couple of times, my hard work of listing the Nodes for the tree has disappeared as I use the IDE to add components, modify the size of the panels, etc. I have gotten a little smarter and included the node-code in a separate "populateTree()" method. The typing is saved, but the call to the function disappeared on me once.
How can I avoid this. Is this happening because I put the code in the "InitiateComponents()" method?

That's a known bug of VS.NET 1.0. Hopefully, this will be fixed in next release.
In the mean time, don't hesitate to add the using System.Windows.Forms.TreeView; statement. And don't hesitate to use a fully qualified method name, instead of a short name (assuming the using xxx; provides the compiler with the missing path).
In fact, the mess occurs when you switch from the code to the designer view. The designer view takes the opportunity at this very moment to rebuild the Form from scratch and, because there's that tiny bug, it may decide on his own there's no more treectrl. And it removes it. Either the tree ctrl disappears from the designer view, or methods disappear, etc.
By using more explicit namespaces, as I have said earlier, I have never got this problem back again.
Good luck then!;P
How low can you go ?

Yes, never ever ever ever ever put code in the InitializeComponent() method. (There is a reason there is a comment saying "Required method for Designer support - do not modify the contents of this method with the code editor." Its because the forms designer places all of its initialization code in that method re-writing it when major/minor changes occur.)
IIRC, this is part of the reason Petzold didn't use the IDE for the book; the code generated by the designer isn't the prettiest.
Instead put your code after the InitializeComponent() call in the constructor or override the OnLoad method or attach a handler to the Load event.

Hmmm, I have a habit of doing just that, especially if InitializeComponent isn't collapsed.
So far I haven't been bitten. But I remember, Delphi used to make designer generated code uneditable by default. I always thought that was a good idea.

I was wondering how to tell a Validation Control to perform validation only when the next button of a form is pressed and not perform validation when previous button is pressed/
Also, I was wondering how you can retrieve IP address information of users hitting your site in C#?
