Would it have anything to do with those circular reports you posted about the other day?

No, not anymore. Although the manager had me fill in the request for this new report. Which I suspect I will be running for HIS team. In the end it's not a big hassle as long as he doesn't ask for a quarter's worth of data in one hour.

Things I am bitter about:
1. The Chatty Cathy's. A couple of them have the most annoying laughs. Today they would not shut up.

2. My husband forgot to take all the trash to the curb last night.

3. My husband has yet to call his cousin to tell him we're coming to visit this weekend.

4. Bulimic cat. At least today it was not in my shoe.

5. Dislocated jaw. I had dental work and my jaw hurt like crazy. Had to have it put back in place yesterday, but my jaw still hurts from the manipulation.

That's all...for now....muhahahaha.

Chatty Cathy, I remember those.

Forgot trash night, oops, been there done that Blush | :O

Call cousin, there's nothing funner than a surprise visit. Unless your cousin-in-law doesn't like that :->

Bulimic cat, bummer ... our kitten was straining too much last week, and the vet had to stitch his a-- back in place Dead | X|

( I had to remove the stitches after about a week, and he's doing alot better now Big Grin | :-D

)

Dislocated jaw....hmmmm, ice cream if possible?

I don't know why the Chatty Cathy's think we all need to hear about their daily lives. Like they are SOOOOO important.

The problem with the trash is that my husband has only two chores: trash and unload the dishwasher. I am not asking for much here.

yeah, the prolapsed anus is not fun. I once got to see surgery on a lizard that had that.

The jaw is back in place and the swelling is going down. However I am lactose intolerant. (Give me a dilly bar and I'll be cramped over in pain in 20 minutes.) Lots of soup. Made goulash tonight.

Maybe they either are unaware of others around them or they are starving for some strange form of attention.

Is the cat female, and did you get it "fixed"?

If so, this is a pretty common thing. After the fixing process, female cats often tend to gorge themselves (perhaps they think they're constantly pregnant?) and vomit. And vomit. And vomit. Trick is to feed them little but often. Or kick them out.

leckey12-Jul-07 17:00

12-Jul-07 17:00

I used to be a vet tech and I have never heard that one. Some cats just vomit more than others. She doesn't necessarily gorge herself and vomit. Sometimes it's just bile. My cats have to be on soft cat food because the eldest has digestive problems. I already feed them four times a day. And they are NOT getting kicked out...even though I found out I am allergic.

add error handling page to project

12-Jul-07 17:34

The kitten of ours I told you about gagged this morning and it was just from eating too much. He was the runt of the litter and looked like a skeleton on all fours when we got him. Had his problem, has managed to eat, but almost eats too much now Laugh | :laugh:

Bummer. All four of us are supposedly allergic to animals and the current score is: 3 dogs (labs), 3 cats, and two fish :->

You want a page to handle compiler errors? Your site won't run if you have a compile error!

In the event you actually mean something else - add the file to your project by right-clicking on the project & selecting "Add Existing Item...", browse for file & add it. Then add a Global.asax file to the project (assuming you don't already have one). Inside the AppilcationError event of the Global.asax file add code to handle your error & redirect to your error page as required.

I think I'm going to call my next project "Chuck Norris". It's a sure way to guarantee it's unbreakable.

Illegal Cross thread Error

ramdil12-Jul-07 7:37

12-Jul-07 7:37

Hi All
Initially i had two applications which access a dll for its method for sending and recieving data.So i got a error saying illegal thread cross operation .So in order to avoid it , i created a delegate and then add a if condition
if (this.InvokeRequired)
{
MyDelegateMethod theDelegateMethod = new MyDelegateMethod (this.DisplayMessage);
this.Invoke(theDelegateMethod, new object[] { message });
}
else
{
ReceiveMessage(message);
}

by doing this i could eliminate the error.Now when i changed one application which was in windows to a webserivce , i am not getting this invoke method ..so what will i do ..
Can any one help me in this regard to overcome this situation

And second one which i heard to overcome above situation was using
System.Windows.Forms.Control.CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = false;

In window appn i am getting CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls properties but in webservice i am not getting it..
pls help me if any one has idea in it

Regards
DilipRam

Hi,

the cross-thread problem is inherent in how controls work; they are not thread-
safe, so the right approach is for each control to have only one thread ever
working on it, normally that's the main thread aka GUI thread.

there was no checking before .NET 2.0 and an app would work, partially work,
suddenly hang, whatever if you did it wrong.

.NET 2.0 checks and throws InvalidOperationException (as you know), unless
you set CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls false, in which case you return to
the pre 2.0 situation. I cant recommend that.

The normal solution is similar to what you have, with one difference:
the delegate and the else part of the if normally call the same method.
In your code it is DisplayMessage and ReceiveMessage !?

BTW: I am not sure what "this" is refering to in your web service, does
it has controls while not having a GUI ??

Smile | :)

Thanks for the reply
regarding the DisplayMessage and ReceiveMessage first one is event handler delegate for recieving messages and second one is local method for processing the receiving message..just for readability..then regarding this i was just pasting the code in my windows applications..So what is ur suggestion..What i understand from your reply is that 2003 will not throw the illegal operation error and so i dont want to check it..Am i right..If i am wrong then what is best solution.

Hi,

if you get cross-thread exceptions, something is wrong in your app.
Going back to 1.x or setting CheckCrossThread=false are two ways to
hide the symptoms, they dont cure the disease.
The cross-thread exceptions 2.0 and later are given are extra symptoms
to make you aware there is a disease which you should fix.

the right way is with Control.InvokeRequired and Control.Invoke;
yuou normally have two choices:
- make the delegate and the else part point to the same method;
- make the delegate point to the method it is in (this is kind of a
recursive call, but the second time around InvokeRequired will be false
hence the else part will execute).

Hello experts,

I'm applying some finishing touches to one of my applications.
The exe's icon was selected via the project's properties, on the "Application" section, where it says "Icon:".

Now, if I would create a shortcut to some file, and attempt to change its icon, pointing the icon selection dialog to my exe, the dialog would display the program's icon.
Same goes for any other icon sucking program...

I'm guessing that the program's icon is embedded in a specific section of the exe, which later gets scanned by the icon selection dialog.
How can I embed icons to the exe so they would also be in the same section?

Thanks in advance,
Shy.

Thanks, but it did not work for me...

However, I've found my own solution.
After compiling the exe file, you open it in VS, either by selecting it via File > Open > File, or by clicking the small "Show all files" icon on the top of the solution explorer, navigating (still in the solution explorer) to the exe file, and double clicking it.
In the new opened tab it is possible to import the icon into the already compiled exe. Big Grin | :-D

Of course it has to be done EVERY TIME the exe is recompiled, which is quite annoying... D'Oh! | :doh:

So I'm thinking of learning how to use Post-Build Events...
Maybe I could make VS import the icon automatically every time...

Well... I hope this post will help others achieve the same goal.
I intend to write a small article about this, and maybe combine it with another subject. Hope I'll have the time... Smile | :)

Regards,
Shy.

Ok I've found out how to do it Jig | [Dance]

File | New
Select Native Resource Template
Import icons etc you want
File | Save As (make sure 32-bit resource (*.res) is selected in the File Type combo)
Save the file somewhere
Open up the properties pages of your Project, change the radio button by the Application icon to Resource File
Browse & select the resource file.
Voila!

This should probably be put into an article at some point since there's no where sensible where this is explained (that I came across)... If I've got time over the weekend I'll do it, unless you want to?
