who can tell me what's wrong with the code - C# Discussion Boards

Is it possible to create a toolband with C# similar to http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/toolband.asp

argh, can you define template classes in c#???? Or is there an alternative that Microsoft would prefer you to use? Mad | :mad:

No , you can't
Cry | :((

With luck , next c# version will support generic programming, until then ...

Cheers,

Joao Vaz

Templates don't exist in C#, this is coming in Version 2.

There is a "trick" that'll help you get by until then.

using System;
using T = System.Int32;

namespace Test
{
	class Testing
	{
		public Testing()
		{
			Console.Writeline(typeof(T).ToString());
		}
	}
}

Thanks for the response, I wanted to port a generic tree class over to C# but looks like I can't for the minute, or maybe I can. What if the class took a type of Object?

class Testing
{
public Testing(Object arg)
{
m_Object = arg;
}

Object m_Object;
}

I'm very new to C#, but would this work? Also when is version 2 out???

Thanks again

That would work, but you would have lots of casting to do (Object could be called the equivalent of void* in C). This is generally the reason that the technique I mentioned came up; while you'll have a specific class for each type of tree; you'll eliminate all casting.

Not for a while, version 1.0 came out a week ago today Smile | :)

My guess would be at least a year before version 2.0 comes out.

No, you can't.

The next version of the CLR will support template classes, and so will be available to all languages that want to support it, not just c#

the code is in the SDK,but wen i run it,nothing happened,except print "Connected xxx.xxx.xxx",it cann't receive message from the server,but the SDK say it can Receive Message From The Server,why??

Hi,
Any suggestion on handling WM_NOTIFY, LVN_ODCACHEHINT and LVN_ODFINDITEM events from C# app?
-Kasturi

I am just learning C# and I was wonder if there is a way to make an instance of a class that is globally availible. Anyhelp would be appreciated. Thanks.

Steve

Can you describe what you mean by "globally available"?

When you say that I'm thinking something to do with the GAC (Global Assembly Cache), but then you refer to an instance of a class.

Hello,

I have this private assembly, and I want to ensure that it can be used only
in my application. I have signed the assembly using strong name key pair
that I generated.

But when I am calling it dynamically (i.e. Assembly.Load) how can I ensure
security, i.e. check for the public key, so that only my application will be
able to use it coz only my application knows my public key?

Any ideas?

- Tariq

Role based security uses the OS's security DB to authenicate users (i.e. all the users of a particular application will have an account in the server, right?) If so, how many users can it hold?

How do I listen to events happening in any particular folder? (e.g. if a new file has been added to the folder or a file is deleted from the folder.)

System.IO.FileSystemWatcher

There is a cavet though:
(from the docs)

"FileSystemWatcher only works on Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0. 
Remote computers must have one of these platforms installed for the 
component to function properly. However, you cannot watch a remote Windows 
NT 4.0 computer from a Windows NT 4.0 computer."

I'm not familiar with the respective Win32 APIs, but if this cavet doesn't exist there you could write some managed C++ to use the APIs directly, allowing you to target Win98/ME.

Hi,

Im assuming an ArrayList is similar to Java's Vector class, however im having trouble accessing individual elements in the ArrayList and I cant see any methods there to get elements.

someone ?

You access it just like an array Smile | :)

ArrayList al = new ArrayList();

// fill the array list

MyDataType elementZero = (MyDataType) al[0];
MyDataType elementOne = (MyDataType) al[1];

Hi,

I have managed to get my program to load types successfully, but when it comes to try and invoke a method that they support i get a compile error.

Exception of type System.InvalidCastException was thrown.

The type array has been filled using this short code.

if(null != type.GetInterface(typeof(IPlugable).FullName)) {
Console.WriteLine("Loaded");
loadedTypes[idx++] = type;
}

This is the code which doesnt work. Anyone have a dime of an idea ?

public void LoadTypes(Type[] types) {

IPlugable yer = (IPlugable)Activator.CreateInstance(plugins[x]);

yer.AFuntion();

}

odd, from what i see there that code should work fine. Make sure that you don't have two different IPlugable's defined. If you do its probably a namespace issue thats causing the problem.

I assume that plugins[x] is the array thats filled in the first block of code?

Perhaps if you posted more code something will pop out.

I’m using List-view controls with the LVS_OWNERDATA style and I’m trying to handle notification messages LVN_ODCACHEHINT and LVN_ODFINDITEM.

Any help on this would be great.

I was considering trying to write something simple to interface with my scanner. Could someone point me in the direction of some .NET info dealing with this?

I know of the Still Image API, but is there something in .NET for it?

AFAIK there is no built in support for scanning. You might be able to interface with TWAIN through .NET interop, but its sure to be messy.

I heard that Lead tools was releasing an imaging product for .NET. That might have what you need.

I need to read a .ini file under windows directory.
But the name of the directory may be different on different machines.
In some machine it is winnt while on ohters it is windows.
So, how to get the name of the directory.

I used GetPrivateProfileString with VC++. and I tried the whole
afternoon to get it worked under C# but it just cannot return the string.
the declaration of GetPrivateProfileString in VC++ is:
DWORD GetPrivateProfileString(
LPCTSTR lpAppName, // section name
LPCTSTR lpKeyName, // key name
LPCTSTR lpDefault, // default string
LPTSTR lpReturnedString, // destination buffer
DWORD nSize, // size of destination buffer
LPCTSTR lpFileName // initialization file name
);
And I converted it to
static extern int GetPrivateProfileString(
string appName, string keyName, sttring default, ref string strReturn,
int size, string fileName);
But I got System.NullReferenceException.

How to solve these two problems or any one of them?

I don't know a lot about C#, but I do know there is a Windows API to get this directory:
UINT GetWindowsDirectory(LPTSTR lpBuffer, UINT uSize);

Look it up in MSDN for details.

The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
