I know. I'm refering to the OP's method signature. Control and EventArgs should be managed pointers.

I think you may want to change your method signature to all managed pointers except the int. Is the C++ code supposed to be an exact port of your C# code?

My 5. OP needs to clarify intent. Your other points are valid as well.

Those two code snippets arent doing the same thing. Should they be?

You should update your question to reflect that you want to use the files as embedded resources. It wasn't clear and would be helpful for anyone who stumbles across this in the future.

You have to do some work yourself. Obviously you have to have a legitimate file path. I'm sure you could handle figuring that part out.

Please read my answer carefully. It will work. You need to set the build options for each file to the correct settings. If you want to use reflection, I suggest you do the research yourself because it's less simple than this way.

This is a one-way hash. You can't decrypt it. However, if you added a salt, this would be the prefereable way to store passwords.

That article is a little dated and doesn't really show how to utilize the functionality of PictureBox objects.

I Copy and pasted into Google translate. To my surprise, it's a howmework assignment!!! It looks like a math problem too :/

He wants to change the IP address. Seems pretty self-explanatory to me.

Ipconfig can't be used to change the IP address.

Yes but it isn't a "static class", it's a static instance of a class. There's a difference.

Yours is also very good!

FYI from MSDN: "Guidelines for FlagsAttribute and Enum: ...
Define enumeration constants in powers of two, that is, 1, 2, 4, 8, and so on. This means the individual flags in combined enumeration constants do not overlap. ..."

This basically means that while it's possible to define non power of two Flags-decorated enums, it is not recommended.

He states clearly; " Enum.IsDefiend returns false if check for example two ored values...". This answer was already accepted, what's the problem? I don't think you understand the complexity. It's not simply find if a bit is in an enum, it's finding if an int matches any of the combination of bitwise ORs. My approach would work regardless of power-of-twos or not. I only used powers of twos to clearly demonstrate the principle. And FlagsAttribute has everything to do with bitwise OR. That's it's only purpose, to treat an enumeration as a bit field.

See my comment. Also note that I did not down vote.

The OP wants to check if an int is bitwise OR of two or more flags, or a value in his enum. This solution will not do that. This type of iterative approach is going to be O(2^n) because you have to check all combinations of flags before declaring the result false. You could build a table and perform a binary search, which would be probably optimal timewise. Here's a simple test case:

[Flags]
public enum FlagEnum
{
one=1,
two=2,
four=4,
eight = 8,
sixteen =16,
thirtytwo = 32

}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
bool orly = IsIntInEnum(typeof(FlagEnum),(int)(FlagEnum.one|FlagEnum.thirtytwo));

}

I don't think this solves the OP's problem.

I agree it made me have to think outside the box.

It's good practice anyway. Even better to check if invoke is required and only invoke when required. Although, with UI code it's rarely a noticable improvement.

I think you miss what I'm saying. Make your primary key a GUID. Have a bit or a boolean flag that indicates whether the record has been processed and a date field to indicate when the record was entered. Do a query "where isProcessed != true order by timeProcessed" to get the records that need to be processed in order.

You shouldn't be using a surrogate key to determine status. You should have some data element such as a time/date stamp for "record created" and a flag to indicate "record processed" or some other similar sdcheme.

Can you please edit your question to include the code that is causing you problems?

If you include the header elsewhere, the linking process will fail in due to a previously defined variable, function etc.

My 5. Also, you could use the "+" operator.

That's the way you do it. 5

Hi, some code snippets would be helpful here.

Good answer.

I wonder if he meant from ASCII to UTF-8. If so, you could have just said "Done!" ;)

Thanks!

Sounds like this could be a lot of things. maybe a problem with sun-jaxws.xml or web.xml? Here's a google search that may help: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=failed+to+parse+runtime+descriptor%3A+runtime+modeler+error%3A+Wrapper+class+is+not+found.+Have+you+run+APT+to+generate+them%3F&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=

Then you may want to use an AutoResetEvent Object. You can also use Mutexes or Semaphores. Look at my code to see how an AutoResetEvent is used.

No. System.Timer uses a threadpool thread for notifications unless you use a synchronizing object. You're not using a synchronizing object, are you?

You may want to edit your question and show more of your code so people can see exactly what you're doing. Also, can you explain what you are trying to do?

Just provide the url of the WSDL in the wizard. It should work unless there's a problem with the format of the file.

I don't see where you're setting the baud, parity bit, etc. DO you mean in a different method? Did you look at the second link? That shows how you should use Win32 to do serial communications. Also, look at Hans Dietrich's link. It contains important information about using serial port numbers higher than "COM9".

You can also call Read() into a byte buffer of arbitrary size. It won't block because we already know that there's data available.

I agree 100%. What others may call "plain", I call "clean".

If you were worried about speed, you'd count by 100. Or not. I don't think it matters for this kind of code (test).

My 5. Great answer. I would make synclock readonly as well.

Good link.

Oops. You're absolutely right.

Is the orphaning of the process intentional? If not you should call TerminateProcess() to end the process.

My 5. However, he needs to be careful with regards to WMI. You have to take a look at each object and property that you are using and make sure tha it's supported for whatever OS versions you want to support. Also, I believe WMI can be turned off, so that's also a consideration.

Could you list the development environment and some information about the environment this program will run on? Information such as operating system, whether or not office is installed. Also, versioning information, i.e. Windows XP with Office 2007, etc.

He said JBossESB, which is Java.

Thanks!

Good answer, although you shouldn't use lock(this) because external code can lock on this. Use a readonly object instead and lock on that.

BeginThreadAffinity/EndThreadAffinity don't do the same thing as the OP asked.

I don't think this is a Compact Framework question.

FYI- I agree that in most cases it's a waste of time. I just answered his question. I also didn't 1 vote you.

It should work especially if you are compiling on a 64 bit system. It looks like stack alignment can be troublesome in some cases see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3046439/createthread-fails-on-64-bit-windows-works-on-32-bit-windows-why and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa290049%28VS.71%29.aspx

Can you please post your code on this site?
