It's just a generic term for the Internet and distributed applications, e.g., mobile devices.

whatever you want i think. if you most like C++, use C++.NET, otherwise, C#, VB.NET, etc will work the same way.
what only mathers is the framework. all these languages depend only on the framework (if they are well written) because they call only framework functions...
so, calling in C++ System::Console::WriteLine() or in VB/C# System.Console.WriteLine() would behave the Same I believe.

I think you'll find it easier to learn C# first. Learn C++.NET (i.e., Managed C++ or C++/CLI) only if you have specific problems which require those languages, otherwise you'll just get confused.
Jesse Liberty's Programming C# is a good book for C++ developers who want to get up to speed quickly. However, one thing to be aware of is that his recently-released 4th edition covers C# version 2. The 3rd edition focuses on C# for .NET 1.1.
Otherwise just learn from online tutorials.

LOL - that's great.
C# is definately easier to learn than C++.NET, and I'd recommend it. I use C# much more than MC++, and I'm a C++ MVP, so I know my C++ pretty well. I just find C# to be better, MC++ is a hack on the side of C++.

I have an imagelist with a few pngs loaded into it set to the SmallImageList property of a ListView control.
Now all is well, the images are shown in the first column (details view), but when an item is selected the image disappears and the item becomes selected.
Does anybody know what the problem is?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have a .NET app, which needs to load multiple WebBrowser controls at startup (MDI app, multiple instances of one wrapper form containing just a WebBrowser control).
The problem is, they take AGES to load, and i just cannot find a way of loading them asynchronously or in a multithreaded environment, as all the loading gets done in the object constructor, and I cannot pass objects between threads, so I cannot load in a seperate worker thread.
This produces a half-rendered application window during startup, as no paint messages are processed, which looks pretty naff. Can anyone help me please?

Hi. In my code I have a PrintDialog that allows the user to select a page range to print. I've been following the API documentation as well as articles/tutorials online but I still can't get it to work. Multiple copies print fine. Print to File works fine. Just the page range doesn't work.
I've tried manually setting the ToPage and FromPage members in the PrintDocument's PrinterSettings and DefaultPrinterSettings members as well as in the PrintDialog's PrinterSettings member. I've also set the MinimumPages and MaximumPages in each one with no success.
Here's my code (...well the latest version anyway). I really don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any help at solving my problem would be very appreciated.
Public PageCount As Integer
WithEvents Doc As New PrintDocument
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim Diag As New PrintDialog
Diag.Document = Doc
Diag.AllowSomePages = True
Diag.PrinterSettings.MinimumPage = 1
Diag.PrinterSettings.MaximumPage = 3
Diag.PrinterSettings.FromPage = 1
Diag.PrinterSettings.ToPage = 3
If Diag.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
PageCount = 1
Doc.Print()
End If
End Sub
Private Sub PrintPage(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles Doc.PrintPage
'Dim f As New Font(FontFamily.GenericSerif, 18, FontStyle.Regular)
'e.Graphics.DrawString("Page #" & PageCount, f, Brushes.Black, 10, 10)
PageCount += 1
If PageCount <= 3 Then
e.HasMorePages = True
End If
End Sub

hi!
i wanted to create an instance of a web service using the Assembly.CreateInstance("FullPath") method.
but it doesnt create the instance. but if i use this same line of code for the other class that i have in my project then it works fine but its not working in case of a web service. i think i am giving the correct namespace but i dont know why it isnt working...
the example code goes like this.
e.g i am using google service then the name space of the proxy class created is:
CommManager.Google
so i use this:
Assembly asm = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
object serviceToCall = null;
serviceToCall = asm.CreateInstance("CommManager.Google.GoogleSearchService", true);
where GoogleSearchService is class whose instance i want to create.
but this line of code returns null.
Help is really appreciated!!!!

I want to bind a NumericUpAndDown to an int property. But when I just bind the "Value" of the NumericUpAndDown then the property doesn't get updated when I type a value. When I just bind the "Text" of the NumericUpAndDown the property doesn't get updated when I push the up/down buttons. When I bind both it seems to work properly, but is this the right way to work with the NumericUpAndDown? Seems like slightly wierd behaviour by this control.
Here's the code for binding:
<br />
private System.Windows.Forms.NumericUpDown numericUpDown1;<br />
private System.Windows.Forms.Button button1;<br />
private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null;<br />
private int i;<br />
<br />
public Form1()<br />
{<br />
InitializeComponent();<br />
<br />
numericUpDown1.DataBindings.Add("Text", this, "I");<br />
numericUpDown1.DataBindings.Add("Value", this, "I");<br />
}<br />
<br />
public int I {<br />
get {<br />
return i;<br />
}<br />
set {<br />
i = value;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />

You talking about a list of Servers on your LAN? Because there are ways to enumerate SQL Servers and all servers on your LAN, is this what you are looking for?

Hi,
Is there a way to convert a DataSet (rows of its tables) to IEnumerator?
I need to do this in order to work with .NET table-valued UDF in SQL 2005.
Basically, I want my custom .NET User Defined Function to return a DataSet I build in code.
Thanks!
|
|
|
|

Hmmm.... I suspect if you have more than one table, you might have to create a default view that merges them somehow, then you could use the Rows property.

Hi Christian,
I'm having a hard time sending the data of a datatable back from a stored procedure or a TVF (table-valued function).
I expected to be able to do Pipe.Send(table) or Pipe.Send(dataSet) from stored procedure or return table from a TVF but unfortunately, it's not that easy.
Have you been able to do something similar? I'm searching everywhere but cannot find anything good.
The idea of having SPROC and UDF done in CLR is amazing, but I think MS's implementation of it is lacking major features. All the examples I see are just wrappers, which makes no sense. I need to generate DataSets on the fly (in code), modify their values, get data from different datasources and send the result back.
If you can help, it would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
Carl

Carl, I will be reading the managed code part of my new SS2005 book tonight. I'll let you know if I can help tomorrow, but right now I am excited, but clueless.

What book do you have? I have "First Look at SQL Server 2005 For Developers", but imho, it's lacking information about writing managed code for SQL Server.

Pipe.Send takes another object, whose name escapes me now, which acts as a cursor. I have the same book.

A SqlDataReader will pretty much only allow you to wrap another SQL statement.
Alazel Acheson (MS SQL Developer) has posted some GREAT code on the private Microsoft newsgroups. It allows me to return a dataset or datatable to the pipe. Here it is, for the record:
public static void SendDataSet( DataSet ds )<br />
{<br />
foreach( DataTable dt in ds.Tables )<br />
{<br />
SendDataTable( dt );<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
public static void SendDataTable( DataTable dt )<br />
{<br />
bool[] coerceToString;
SqlMetaData[] metaData = ExtractDataTableColumnMetaData( dt, out coerceToString );<br />
<br />
SqlDataRecord record = new SqlDataRecord( metaData );<br />
SqlPipe pipe = SqlContext.Pipe;<br />
pipe.SendResultsStart( record );<br />
try {<br />
foreach( DataRow row in dt.Rows )<br />
{<br />
for( int index=0; index<record.FieldCount; index++ )<br />
{<br />
object value = row[ index ];<br />
if ( null != value && coerceToString[ index ] )<br />
value = value.ToString( );<br />
record.SetValue( index, value );<br />
}<br />
<br />
pipe.SendResultsRow( record );<br />
}<br />
}<br />
finally<br />
{<br />
pipe.SendResultsEnd( );<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
private static SqlMetaData[] ExtractDataTableColumnMetaData( DataTable dt, out bool[] coerceToString )<br />
{<br />
SqlMetaData[] metaDataResult = new SqlMetaData[ dt.Columns.Count ];<br />
coerceToString = new bool[ dt.Columns.Count ];<br />
for( int index = 0; index < dt.Columns.Count; index++ )<br />
{<br />
DataColumn column = dt.Columns[ index ];<br />
metaDataResult[ index ] = SqlMetaDataFromColumn( column, out coerceToString[ index ] );<br />
}<br />
<br />
return metaDataResult;<br />

Hi All,
Could anybody help me out in identifying the association between the
.NET's ReleaseComObject() method and the Dispose Pattern? Are they are
similar things and serves the same purpose. Are they substitute of each
other?
This issue has become really hot for our project. Itwill be really
great if the xpert people can provide their corresponding usage for
real world applications. Differences/ Similarties between them and what
exactly they serves?
Please share your expertise and provide me some good database of
knowledge.
Thanks in advance.

Hi guys 
I put some textBoxes in a form & need to let users type in one of the UTF8 languages but don't want to require them to change the language each time (not from language bar nor Alt+Shift)
Is there any specific method in dotNet or i need to override onKeyDown/press or whatever. All i can think of is mapping each EventArgs.keycode to a hexadecimal form of the corresponding unicode character 'uxxxx'?
or transpose values to get to the desired subrange in unicode?
I used Decoder.GetChars & it gives me 2 bytes for each char. How can i use these 2 bytes to transpose input char to the desired language equal?
Thanx for any hints
