Yes. IIRC, the PKCS12 structure can store more information, but I really haven't worked too much with such types of storage structures. Most references to such structures I see are typically PKCS12, however.

Hello all,
I currently have a Hashtable that contains a string key and an int value, I am then using this hashtable to populate a combo box using the int value as the combos display value and the key as the combos real value.
The problem I have is that my hashtable values are all ints and I would like this to appear in descending numerical order in the combo.
It seems that the Hashtable does perform some sort of low level ordering as the items do not enumerate out in the same order they were placed into the hashtable. I have tried using sortedlists but the sorting is performed on a string basis, so you end up with something like :
1
11
12
123
1384
22
26
2984
3
I need to use a these types of collections as parts of my code are highly dependant on the .ContainsKey(...) function and the object["keyname"] functionality which is not available on, say, arraylists of simple object arrays.
After spending sometime with google I have had a look at NameObjectCollectionBase and the cp article http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/hashlistarticle.asp[^] but they both seem a little too much for seems like a simple problem
So the question is how can I generate a numerically ordered collection and have the functionality of a Hashtable?
After spending
post.mode = postmodes.signature;
SELECT everything FROM everywhere WHERE something = something_else;
> 1 Row Returned
> 42

You pass an IComparer implementation to either the constructor for a list, collection, or dictionary (for those that have such a constructor), or assign it to any supported properties. The Hashtable lets you pass an IComparer implementation to the constructor and allows derivative classes to assign the comparer field.
Read the .NET Framework SDK documentation for the IComparer interface about how the implement it and to see an example (though it's honestly not that hard).

What you want is a dictionary whose internal structure orders the items by value. The Hashtable performs no ordering. The SortedList performs key ordering. The HashList that was created in the article you referenced performs temporal ordering so it wouldn't help you either. There is no primitive data structure that satisfies this requirement so you'll have to create your own that internally uses both a hashtable and some type of key ordered dictionary for storage. Using both data structures together will give you the ability to order your custom dictionary by value.
When you say that you need to have the functionality of a hashtable did you really mean that a dictionary is sufficient? The reason I ask is because the hashtable is distinquished from other dictionaries because it has O(1) inserts, deletes, and searches. It is impossible to create such a dictionary that is ordered and still performs like a hashtable. If you want your collection ordered by value and to behave like a hashtable then you're out of luck, but to make it behave like a dictionary in general is easy.
I can post an example of this if necessary. But right now it is time to go home!

Hey,
Today i started working with databases in C#. For the app i'm making i use a premade Access DB. (with tables etc. in it already) With Visual C# 2005 beta i can easaly connect the database to a datagrid. That part works great. But now i want to write new values to the database via input fields. I searched all over the internet to find a good article about it, but i cant find anything usefull  Can somebody maybe help me a little?

I'm using a FolderBrowserDialog, which seems to be crashing on full path names with lengths 133 or greater.
I've written a test app that only has a Browse button and a label to display the length of the selected path.
The results are erratic.
With paths of of length 132 characters or less it seems to work ok (i have seen it crash once on 132-length path, though).
At 133, it works sometimes and sometimes not.
At paths of 134 or greater, it crashes almost every single time. Sometimes when you hit the "OK" button in the dialog, sometimes it won't crash until the next time you hit the "Browse" button, sometimes not until you try to close the program.
I have tried different paths all over my system, and 132 seems to be the magic number. Can anyone else duplicate this?

Well that answers that. Thanks Heath.
I'm curious what google query you used, i tried searching before i came here.

We are building a windows application that needs to look at an .ini file when the program first starts. We have no problem reading the ini file once the app starts up by hard-coding the name of the file, but I would like to be able to dynamically direct the app to the correct ini file when it starts up. Specifically, the main differences between the 2 .ini's would be which database that the app should be using, and whether we are in a test mode or live mode. This would make switching between testing and live use quick, without having to recompile.
So the question is, is there a way to have the properties under the desktop icon be something like "myprogram.exe test.ini" or "myprogram.exe live.ini"
Thanks much for the help...

You mean a shortcut? Yes, just type the filename in the Target: field for the shortcut properties after the program. Make sure that Start in: (working directory) field is set to the program directory or the directory where your program looks for files (so for files you access without an absolute file path (start from the drive root), they resolve to this directory). Declare your entry point (Main) using Main(string[] args). The filename gets passed as an argument.

In short, yes, your application can take arguments which is why you can write Main as such. I would suggest you look at other options such as extracting the path from a config file.
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
string path = args[0];
if(path != null)
{
}
}

Hi all,
I have a program, that is just supposed to open as a server (i.e. listen for connections) and i run it, and it pauses... then i try to move something and the dreaded program not responding error comes up....

AcceptSocket is a blocking call. It will stop execution until a connection is received. This is why you should start a new thread (see the Thread or ThreadPool class in the .NET Framework SDK) to listen for connections so that the UI is not affected.

Hi, I posted a thread yesterday about thumbnails that I was trying to create that took my PF usage up to an entire gig, well Nick Parker solved my problem, Thanks man.
However, now that that is solved I want to speed up the thumbnails. It takes about 30 seconds to get 64, 5 megapixel pictures resized to be 100,100. The code I'm using is as follows:
Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort myCallback = new Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort(ThumbnailCallback);
Bitmap TemporaryBitmap = new Bitmap(ImageFileNames[a]);
ListOfImages.Images.Add(tempBitmap.GetThumbnailImage(100,100,myCallback,IntPtr.Zero));
tempBitmap.Dispose();
TemporaryFilePaths.Add(temps[a]);
It's continually looped to get each picture in the folder and adds them to a List View. Any idea's how I can speed up the time because this will eventually be reading of off flash cards and that'll take even longer. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Does specifying the image size of 100, 100 in the TemporyBitmap constructor help?
|
|
|
|
|
No it doesn't, that had been my origonal plan but it did the same thing. There's definitely a way because I've tested several programs and they were able to do it in a matter of seconds. Plus windows is able to create the thumbnails quickly too. I think there has to be some other command that I'm missing.
|
|
|
|
|
Another thought, again untested!
Does using the Image class instead of the Bitmap class for the tempory image help?
|
|
|
|
|
A couple of thoughts, first off, I would assume you are going to copy over the files from the flash card before you start your conversion process. You might also consider doing the two items (copying files and converting to thumbnails) on separate threads. You could have a thread that watches the folder you are placing the images in (using the FileSystemWatcher class, specifically the Created event) and then have another thread process the new image to a thumbnail.
