I have actually done that with QBASIC running on Windows NT 4.0. I used the Peek statement. As for C# and pointers you cannot read farther than where your application's allocated memory ends. I dont know of any API that would allow you to read anything from the BIOS, but you could write a driver and then use C# to interface with it's API
=====Brain melting code=====
static int Sqrt(int x){ if (x<0) throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(); int temp, y=0, b=0x8000, bshft=15, v=x; do { if (v>=(temp=(y<<1)+b<<bshft--)) { y+=b; v-=temp; } } while ((b>>=1)>0); return y; :omg:

Decode that and you will win.;P
============Hint===========
cout << "33 20 57 4F 52 44 53 62 63 6B 77 6F 72 64 73";

How do I convert the following unmanaged C++ structures in C# (which I will be using in PInvoke calls)?
typedef struct
{
unsigned char Camera;
unsigned char DecoderId;
} VIDEO_SEQ_CMD;
typedef struct
{
int CompressionMode;
VIDEO_SEQ_CMD VideoSequence[64];
} USER_CONFIG_DATA;
I think the following works for the first struct. I'm not sure how to handle the array in the second struct.
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Explicit, CharSet = CharSet.Ansi)]
public struct VideoSeqCmd
{
[FieldOffset(0), MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U1)]
public byte Camera;
[FieldOffset(1), MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U1)]
public byte DecoderId;
}
Thanks!

See this...
<br />
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Explicit, CharSet = CharSet.Ansi)]<br />
public struct UsserConfigData<br />
{<br />
[FieldOffset(0), MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.I4)]<br />
public int CompressionMode;<br />
[FieldOffset(1), MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst=16, ArraySubType=UnmanagedType.Struct)]<br />
VideoSeqCmd [] VideoSequence;<br />
}<br />

I'm trying to set the desktop location of my program to a certain location on the overall desktop (between all monitors). It comes up in the right location, but only on the monitor from which it was launched. I want it to come up at location (0,0) of the left-most monitor, not (0,0) on the monitor it was launched from.
How do I do that (regardless of how the user has set up their monitor locations)?
I'm trying to do my own screensaver that spreads itself across all monitors, not just duplicates itself on each. I tried to maximize it, but it maximizes only on one monitor, not all of them...

Take a look at the Screen class, this has a PrimaryScreen property as well as a Screens property which may be of some help to you.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, I started with that. Not working right.
I'll keep on it. I was just hoping that someone knew of a better way...

You need to iterate over the Screens collection and find out which screen has the leftmost position. Take a look at the screensaver I wrote with James T Johnson, it's a CP article, and it ran multimonitor. I'm writing an app now that runs on as many monitors as are running, the Screens collection has never let me down.

Before I start searching, can you provide a keyword or URL for me? (for the article)

Christian, you rock. You've saved me a lot of hassle (considering I'm trying to develope a multimonitor screensaver without the advantage of testing it on multiple monitors of my own, having to rely on the patience of a friend of mine).
Once again, you rock. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. May future generations of C# geeks sing your praise.

I am setting up a http server and I don't want to have to choose the port number. I want the operating system to choose an available port for me. Does anyone know if this is possible?
|
|
|
|
|
If you are using Sockets for setting up your http server then all you have to do is to specify 0 as the port number when creating a socket object. This will use any available port number.

plz guide me of sorting Data in a dataset and a datatable.
thx
Bye

Hello
Relational Databases -most of current DBMS are relational as you know-, don't really know about sorting data in its tables. On the other hand it can view data in a sorted manner. So to sort a data you should make a DataView object, and use it to display the data the way you want.

i didnt tried it but i guess it will work
save connection string to some variable
add order by "name of the column" to the end of the connection string
fill your dataset
and restore the connection string from the variable
yeah i know its not the proper meathod but until you cant find it use it
and remember to share when you find it

Lets say i do this:
DataRow dr1 = dataset1.Tables[0].NewRow();
I want to add dr1 to dataset2 but it says it is already in another dataset (dataset1)
how can i clone/duplicate/copy dr1 so that i may add it to dateset2 as well?
thanks!
