Hi,
i used hl7 to xml converter article, it returns a xml document as a string.
can i get it as a document itself, how? how can i read the xml document and populate my database?
|

Did you think to ask the person who wrote the article ? You can read the XML document using the XMLDocument class.

I believe you are looking for skype. I am sure their is a programming SDK that you are able to use to target the service.

Ah, you assumed his use of the word "call" means a telephone call. I would never thought of that.

Is it possible to shut down a computer by programming a micro controller that is external to the computer?

Sure. Just have the micro controller set off a large enough ordnance for the distance and the size of the target, should be no problem.

Why not?
But why would you even do that? You don't need an external micro controller

I am doing a school project where we have to build a device with a microcontroller inside that will have different tasks. The device will be sending and receiving info wirelessly to a PC and one of the objectives of the project is for the device to be able to shutdown the computer. I am not much of a programmer but i have other group members who are. What is an ordnance? Is this my only option? Is there any code involved?

A weapon. Your question was vague and so you got a joke answer.
You can turn off a computer by running code, you could look at the mother board to see if there's a jumper you can wire up to, and connect to shut down. It's kind of a hardware question, not a programming one really. ( that is, if you want to turn off a computer via another device, and not in a program on the computer, then it becomes a hardware question )

I've never seen a jumper to do this, some enthusiast mobos do have onboard power/reset switches that could be manually pressed/pressed by a hardware device.

Hi,
you could set up one function key to execute the DOS shutdown command, and build your own USB keyboard emulator that emits the right function key code when you want the shutdown to occur.
|
|
|
|
|
I found these examples[^] to cause many a sleepless night
You can bluntly take the power of the computer, but I guess that you are looking for a method to send a signal to the computer and to shut it down "the friendly way".

I don't know about an external micro-controller, but you could do something like this:
uchar reset = 0;
do
{
reset = inportb(0x64);
if(reset & 1)
inportb(0x60);
} while (reset & 2)
outportb(0x64, 0xFE);
That'll pulse the keyboard reset line. It should be rather simple from there to translate it into assembly code and encode it into the micro-controller

I'm sure there's an API call to shut down the computer gracefully as if you clicked shut down yourself.
You could call that from C# code using PInvoke.
Interfacing a uC to a computer is reasonably easy via serial or parallel ports, marginally more difficult via USB - I've never tried a wireless port.
There's no reason why a uC can't talk to your C# app via one of these ports which in turn shuts the PC down.

I am also an electronics and communication engg.
One thing you can do is create a small windows service which scans your serial port where microcontroller is connected. and whenever your controller sends some specific serial data, you can run a C# code to shut down your PC..
This might work.
|
|
|
|
|
And in that service you can execute a small line of code...
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Shutdown", "-s -t 01");
this will shut down the computer . ..

Almost every motherboard has a jumper you can use, it's where they plug in the wires for the power switch on the outside of the case. Almost all of them function the same way as well, short the circuit, and it starts the shut down/power up sequence.
You can also control the power from the power supply tap to the motherboard, many power supplies also have their own power switch (usually much higher voltage) and there is a way to do it through the PCI bus as well. Going further out, you could also cut power to the entire system from the power cord.
In the end it really depends on how 'micro' the controller really is and what voltages you're dealing with. A 110 volt switch is probably a bad idea for hooking up to a motherboard jumper, however you could simply kill the power to a battery backup and let the system shut itself down. In the 12 volt range you could use one of the power supplies used for car based computers. If your running off the USB line, then the motherboard power switch is probably your best bet.
As others have mentioned:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Shutdown", "-s -t 10");
Will also turn the computer off.

Hi guys, whats going on ?
I have a form called Form1, there's a button which I click and Form2 is opened, now I want to send a value from Form2 back to Form1
(I know how to do it from a form to a new form!)
thx
|
|
|
|
|
Use an event in Form2 that Form1 subscribes to. There's an example in my article here[^].

One of the best way to pass some value is by overloading the constructor.
For e.g if you want to pass an integer id or something like that from form1 to form2.
you need to do is make a small function on form2 like :
public Form2(int id)
{
InitializeComponent();
this.ID = id;
}
And while opening the form2 in form1 you need to do is
Form2 frm = new Form2(3); //3 can be replaced by any variable.
frm.showdialog();
or
frm.show();
|
|
|
|
|
See, Form 2 is already open through Form 1 !!!
Form2 F2 = new Form2();
SelectedGrammarID = Convert.ToInt32(SelectedRow.Cells["GrammarID"].Value);
this.Close();
I want to send the value "SelectedGrammarID" back to form 1!!!!
now I select a value in form 2 and click on a button, it closes the form and then I want to send the value to a Variable in Form 1 (I don't open the form again because it's already open !!!!)

Like I said before, use an event!
Add a new class IDEventArgs with this code
using System;
public class IDEventArgs : EventArgs
{
private int _ID;
public IDEventArgs(int id)
{
_ID = id;
}
public int ID
{
get { return _ID; }
}
}Add this to Form2
public event EventHandler<IDEventArgs> GrammarIDSelected;
private void CompleteFormProcessing()
{
OnGrammarIDSelected(new IDEventArgs(
Convert.ToInt32(SelectedRow.Cells["GrammarID"].Value)));
Close();
}
protected virtual void OnGrammarIDSelected(IDEventArgs e)
{
EventHandler<IDEventArgs> eh = GrammarIDSelected;
if (eh != null)
eh(this, e);
}Call CompleteFormProcessing from wherever you need it.
In Form1 add these.
Form2 F2 = new Form2();
F2.GrammarIDSelected += new EventHandler<IDEventArgs>(F2_GrammarIDSelected);
F2.Show();
void F2_GrammarIDSelected(object sender, IDEventArgs e)
{
}
