"Any thoughts on why this happens?":
MSDN states for the return value of the Peek method: "The next character to be read, or -1 if no more characters are available or the stream does not support seeking." So maybe your stream doesn't support seeking.?
"Does anyone no of a construct that provides a non-blocking read from a stream?":
Try getting the underlying stream through BaseStream property and using its asynchronous BeginRead and EndRead methods.

You'll need to use asynchronous interfaces. Use the BeginRead/EndRead, BeginWrite/EndWrite methods. Not THAT easy to do, but once you learn the asynchronous patterns in .NET, everything will be easier.
My advice: don't use TcpClient/TcpServer for anything but the simplest things, as they're too simple, and have several drawbacks, as you're starting to notice. Use the Socket class, instead, that is a bit more complex to use, but will not give you so many headaches.

Thank you all for your advice! I will switch to using sockets instead. It will take some effort, but I'm sure it's worth it! Does anyone know of a good tutorial on working with sockets?
However, I'm the sort of person who cannot let things go so easily. That Peek() does not work as I think it would  still borthers me somewhat, and I would like an explanation if there is one? I will let this go eventually, but until then I will remain confused. Anyone?
Thanks!!

Search for Sockets here on CodeProject and/or read the example given by the MSDN topics for the Socket class.

how can i clear the date time picker control from any date in it?
|
|
|
|
|
It is not possible with System.Windows.Forms.DateTimePicker, because DateTime is a ValueType and cannot be empty.
You can set dateTimePicker.CustomFormat to String.Empty, but then the user won't be able to enter a new date.
Search for "Nullable DateTime Picker" in the articles, there is a useful solution with a TextBox and a DateTimePicker.

Hi,
I have a query with regards to data sets.
I have the following declarations in C#.NET, it's just brief, so I hope it makes sense:
SqlDataAdapter adptContacts;
dsContacts.ContactsRow rowNew;
rowNew = dsContacts.Contacts.NewContactsRow();
rowNew.ContactID = GetNewContactID();
rowNew.FirstName = txtFirstName.Text;
rowNew.LastName = txtLastName.Text;
I have code that adds data to the new row, then I add the code to the data set using the following code:
dsContacts.Contacts.AddContactsRow(rowNew);
I modify the database like this:
adptContacts.Update(dsContacts);
I just want to know when adding data to the database like I did. As far as I understand it, a dataset contains data retrieved from the database. So when I do my update, does it delete the data in the table and all the data in the data set, or does it just add the new row to the table?

DataRows have a DataRowState property which defines if a datarow is modified, added or deleted. Check ur rowNew.RowState and you will se its System.Data.DataRowState.Added.
When u update the source datatable in ur underlying database, the dataadapter
method adptContacts.Update(dsContacts) will use the adapter's DeleteCommand for the Contact's table to delete any Deleted datarows, the InsertCommand for any Added datarows and the UpdateCommand for any modified rows ur datatable might have.
In ur case, ur DataTable only has one Added row, so the dataadapter will add ur row to the underlying database datatable. It wont delete anything anywhere.
In ur code, I seem to be missing where un initialize the adptContacts DataAdaper. U have to create and assign the SqlCommands to it. An easy way is to create the DataAdapter in the designer, it will create all commands by itself, unless ur querying more than one DataTable through a JOIN.

Look at the IDataAdapter.Update [^]IDataAdapter.Update documentation in MSDN. It is clearly explained.

Hi,
I am using collection to bind data to datagrid.
Dim oCars as CarCollections = New CarCollections
DataGrid1.DataSource = oCars
Everyithing work fine but there is a sorting problem.
If I do so, there is no sorting features in DataGrid. When I bind DataSet to Datagrid I can Sort data in DataGrid by clicking on columns header. DataGRid automaticly sort filled data according clicked colum.
When I bind datagrid to Collection that features is missing.
What should i do, in Collection class - CarsCollection, to have sorting features back
Thanks in advance
P.S. Sorry for bad English

IIRC, your class needs to implement IComparable for sorting work.

Can you send me a link where I can find an example or something that will help me

IComparable Interface[^]
Simply put, you just need to implement a single method, CompareTo(obj), that will compare this instance to another object, for order purposes. It must return -1 if it's smaller (or lower rank), 0 if it's equal (or the same rank), and +1 if it's bigger.

Hi,
I want to detetmin parent class
For instance there is a Cars collection with Car item.
Cars collection has some property that I need to access from Car item.
Cars collection
Property_01
Property_02
CarItem(s) (Type, Name, Year, ...)
I want to obtain the value of Property_02.
Every CarItem is already inside Cars collection and I am sure that there is way to obtain parent class.
How to do that?
Do not send answers like "You have to hold a reference to the CarsCollection in the CarItem:"
public class CarsCollection : List
{
public CarItem CreateCarItem()
{
return new CarItem(this);
}
}
I think that is something about iComponent or something similar.

Ok, we won't but there are only two ways of doing it:
1. The answer you don't want
2. Searching all the collections in your program for that specific instance.

A Component holds a reference to its container in the Container property.

I want to make a PropertyGrid control readonly on runtime.
I try to use ReadOnlyAttribute for a class or property but I don't know if I can change the value of the attribute on runtime.
Any other ideas how to make the control readonly ?

Hey people, first post for me!
I am creating a network monitoring tool that will monitor the amount of traffic going out and coming into a computer on a 10baseT connection. Was wondering if there is either any code out there that can count the number of data packets going out and coming into an ethernet connection. I've looked what feels like everywhere but still can't find anything : ( ( If anyone here has either some suggestions of stuff that already exists, or is savvy enough to put some code together quickly, could you point me in the right direction please?
I'm also going to be using .NET as part of this program, so if that's needed to do what I need then that's fine.
Cheers
Jeff

Cheers, I'll have a look at that and let you know if it's got what I need....or if I need some help looking through it to find what I need 
|

also try using System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter; You can drag one of the desired category (IP/datagrams sent/recieved) from your server explorer.

So I've had a quick look at what you suggested do I create a windows application and then a form and then just drag and drop the thing I need onto the form and Visual Studio does all the working out for me? If that's the case....then excellent
Cheers for the help so far people. Been nice to find a forum that responds to shouts for help
|
|
|
|

yes, letting Visual Studio do most of the work for you is possible and quite easy. If you're not sure exactly what data you need, try playing first with windows "perfmon" program, which basically gives the same parameters, though with quite poor graphics for my taste.

Hi,
Given a Bitmap that is embedded into a windows metafile (WMF) thereby allowing it to be added to a rich text box.
I have been trying to recreate the bitmap from the WMF.
So assuming I have a windows metafile that is represented in the RichText box as
the control string :
"{\pict\wmetafile8\picw[N]\pich[N]\picwgoal[N]\pichgoal[N] [BYTES]}"
where BYTES are the HEX representation of an image.
How would I convert this back into a bitmap?
My thought was to use the MetaFile class constructing it from a stream derived somehow from the BYTES above, and then as the Metafile class is an Image it can be transformed into a Bitmap which is also an Image.
Any help would be very useful as I keep hitting a brick wall, but as a convert from C++, my C# isnt that good yet.
