ParseCommand is a static method.
You cannot access non static methods / members from the static one.

This is static

public static string ParseCommand(string m_recievedUCCData)
{
    // ...
    OnUpdate(rxPortData);
    // ...
}

This is not so can only be called by an instance of CommandParser

protected virtual void OnUpdate(CommandData commandData)
{
    // ...
}

If there is no particular reason for the ParseCommand method to be static, then make it an instance member. Alternatively, pass a CommandParser instance as a parameter into the ParseCommand method and act on that.

public static string ParseCommand(string m_recievedUCCData, CommandParser commandParser)
{
    // ...
    commandParser.OnUpdate(rxPortData);
    // ...
}

Thanx for the help. I had not yet learnt of this so was useful information.

i soleved the probelm by passing in the perameter as you suggested which stopped the error.

This is the final code, it didnt have a problem with calling Parsecommand(byte[]) as the method is static.

public static string ParseCommand(string m_recievedUCCData, CommandParser commandParser)
     {
        byte[] rxData;

        rxData = StrToByteArray(m_recievedUCCData);

        CommandData rxPortData = ParseCommand(rxData);

        commandParser.OnUpdate(rxPortData);

        //rxData.ToString();
        return "Parsing done!" ;

     }

Hi,
Created a user i.e. UserA in the domain.
Added this user to the administrators group in serverA.
Using C#, I impersonate this user in my application.
Then using UserA, the application creates a vbscript on ServerA.
Problem is that the vbscript does not get run when I use the processstart call
The error is vbscript engine is not found.
Please note that if I log into the application using my credentials then all works fine and the script runs correctly on serverA.
Do you know why I get the below error if logged in as UserA?
I have also run regsvr32 vbscript on serverA but this does not help in the case of UserA

Error is:
Can not find script engine vbscript for script "path of the vbscript".

Thanks

Read it into a MemoryStream. Then compress it using the System.IO.Compression.GZipStream class. You could also use the #ZipLib library - there is an article on this site about it (MemoryStream Compression[^])

The Subject says it all... At the moment I am using the following method:

Bitmap bmpScreenshot = new Bitmap(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width, Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);

Graphics gfxScreenshot = Graphics.FromImage(bmpScreenshot);

gfxScreenshot.CopyFromScreen(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.X, Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Y, 0, 0, Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Size, CopyPixelOperation.SourceCopy);

However, since I need to be taking screenshots at around every 250ms, I need to find the most efficient way possible (if any)...

Thanks!

Note: I have found that taking partial parts of the screen is much more efficient, but at the moment I need all the screen taken...

from what i understand, you want to display the image in the picture box. there should be a Load function for the purpose.
you can do something like:

picturebox1.Load("image path here");

you can use this component with .Net, c# and VB.. http://www.socialcontactsimporter.net Worked on our web site like a dream and works with all the major providers, Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, Outlook Express, Firefox and so on..

We tried a number of ways even creating our own but was no good because the email providers (hotmail etc,) kept on changing their web sites making our code break.. Dont waist your time. Life is too short.

They also do hourly testing to make sure it works.

private void button1_Click(object sender, RibbonControlEventArgs e)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Hello");
        }
