Serializing a WinForm Control is difficult. Here are some resources on CP: [^], [^], [^].
Also, there is a new serializer here on CodeProject created by Christophe Bertrand that is the only serializer I know that can serialize most WinForm Controls: [^]. Note: since, to my knowledge, not every type of WinForm Control has been tested, this is a hypothesis: there may be a Type of WinForm Control, or UserControl, which may not be serializable.

Say I want to use the Windows built-in speech synthesizer. In Visual Studio I have to right-click references and click add reference, add in System.Speech and THEN I can include a using System.Speech.Synthesis... This means that adding System.Speech as a reference is actually doing something that's allowing me to reference the class I want.
My question is, what is it doing and how can I do it manually? I've been toying with Visual Studio Developer Console and manually compiling .cs files with csc as shown on this page[^]
How could I compile a file that uses external resources? Thanks.

Which creates a .csproj file that, among other stuff, contains the references.

You can use
csc Program.cs /r:SpeechSynthesizer.dll /out:YourOutputExeName.exe
1. Here Program.cs is the file to be compiled
2. /r:SpeechSynthesizer.dll is the dll in same directory
3. YourOutputExeName.exe is the name of the output exe

Hi,
I'd like to know if it's possible to pass memory stream between C# windows.
Thanks
|
|
|
|

A memory stream is an object, so yes. However you need to define what you mean by c# windows. I have never heard of a c# window!

If the question you are asking is, can you share streams between two C# applications, there are various techniques. You could self-host WCF, or you could create something like a named-pipe or TCP connection. You could even create a memory-mapped file[^].

The requirement is to pass the data as a memory stream between two different C# applications.
This is the code to send stream. But it doesn't really work.
using (MemoryStream ms = GetMemoryStream())
{
int hWnd = FindWindow(null, "Receive");
int dataSize = Convert.ToInt32(ms.Length);
COPYDATASTRUCT cds;
cds.dwData = 0;
cds.lpData = Marshal.AllocCoTaskMem(dataSize);
cds.cbData = dataSize;
SendMessage(hWnd, WM_COPYDATA, 0, ref cds);
Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(cds.lpData);
}

You will have to be more specific than "it doesn't really work". That tells us nothing useful about what issues you are seeing. What happens if you debug the application? Does it find the window? Is your structure created properly? Why do you have to use such a cumbersome method for passing data? A simple TCP connection would be enough.

Well, the requirement is memory stream. That is, the Receiving application has to get the data as a memory stream.
I get an error is at
int dataSize = Convert.ToInt32(ms.Length);
and the error is "Cannot access a closed Stream."

This did work!
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
using (ms = GetMemoryStream())
{
ms = new MemoryStream(ms.ToArray());
COPYDATASTRUCT cds;
cds.dwData = 0;
cds.lpData = IntPtr.Zero;
cds.cbData = 0;
try
{
ms.Flush();
ms.Position = 0;
int hWnd = FindWindow(null, "Receive");
int dataSize = Convert.ToInt32(ms.Length);
cds.dwData = 0;
cds.lpData = Marshal.AllocCoTaskMem(dataSize);
cds.cbData = dataSize;
SendMessage(hWnd, WM_COPYDATA, 0, ref cds);
}
finally
{
Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(cds.lpData);
ms.Close();
}
}
But I think I'm not passing the memory stream to the other application. I declared the dwData as Memory Stream. Am I doing right?

I got it to work with the help of this website.

HI,
I want to know what is Lifo and Fifo,as i search in net but i didn't get the answer clearly???
Can any one explain it with simple example???
Thanks...

LIFO - last in first out
FIFO - first in first out or fly in fly out (mining employees do this in remote sites)

I did something similar here:
Mediator - a communicator between ViewModels[^]
I.a:
Type unboundWEMType = typeof(WeakEventManager<,>);
Type[] typeArgs = { _sender.Target.GetType(), typeof(EventArgs) };
Type constructedWEMType = unboundWEMType.MakeGenericType(typeArgs);
etc...
It's a pain.

Haha, it can be indeed!

I don't quite understand your problem, if you could make the Generic01 with the code I created above, surely you could get the type from the created element?
|
|
|
|
|
It's for a serializer, I need to recreate the type that was saved.
Not the type that is now.
It might have changed!

Using fieldType.ToString() would give you System.Collections.Generic.List`1[T].
If the class had multiple type parameters, it might be important to know which one was used in the type.
