I have 3 components

Component A (a scheduling engine), B (a windows service) and C (a task)

Component C implements objects of type A.
Component B creates objects of type C by reflection.

Component C needs to access a SQL Server DB but i don't understand why he cannot open a connection to the DB.

This are component A permissions

[assembly: CLSCompliant(true)]<br />

The problem is on the C component

The method which opens a Connection call stack is:

A --> B --> C

I've also tried to create a SqlClientPermission object, add the connection string and call to the Assert method but a SecurityExeption is trowed when connection.Open() method is executed.

Any Idea?

I'm on a Fuzzy State: Between 0 an 1

Hello

You would use an XmlReader object to read the file into an XmlDocument object, then write it back after storing whatever you want using an XmlWriter. You can find all these classes in System.Xml namespace.

About displaying the picture, a PictureBox would be appropriate. Why not??

Hi,
You can use FileSystemWatcher on that folder. Set the notify filter and all other necessary properties. Then when the file is completed you get OnCreated and OnChanged events. Remember that these events are fired many times for the same file also, but that wont be a problem. I, myself am using the watcher. Remember the path, notifyfilters properties. Try to search how you can attach Watcher to a folder on msdn.
If any problem i can help, if u r interested in this solution.

Problem with DataGridViewComboB oxColumn

24-Aug-06 1:36

Can someone tell me why I have no data showing in any of the rows on the datagrid's ComboBoxColumn I created. The Datagrid works fine and in the debugger I see all the items listed in my ComboBoxColumn cells but visually when I click the down arrow in each cell there is nothing showing up.

foreach (DataRelation relation in complexObject.Relations)
{
DataGridViewComboBoxColumn comboColumn = new DataGridViewComboBoxColumn();
comboColumn.Name = (string)relation.ExtendedProperties["ColumnName"];
dataGrid.Columns.Add(comboColumn);

foreach (DataRow row in relation.ParentTable.Rows)
{
DataRow[] childRows = row.GetChildRows(relation);
DataGridViewComboBoxCell newCell = new DataGridViewComboBoxCell();

foreach (DataRow childRow in childRows)
{
newCell.Items.Add(childRow.ItemArray[relation.ChildTable.Columns.IndexOf((string)relation.ExtendedProperties["ShowColumn"])]);
}

dataGrid.Rows[relation.ParentTable.Rows.IndexOf(row)].Cells[(string)relation.ExtendedProperties["ColumnName"]] = newCell;
}
}

my idea is to use a dataset and bind the excel sheet to it. but i am not sure about the provider or the connection strings.
Is it possible to achieve this with out using provider, i mean just like opening a file and querying.

Through DirectShow or WMP you can load an audio file and get it's length.

WAV files follow the RIFF standard that has a field that contains the length of data.
WAV files' headers has 3 chunks of data; RIFF chunk, FORMAT chunk and DATA chunk.
RIFF chunk: 12 bytes.
FORMAT chunk: 24 Bytes.
The DATA chunk format is as follows:
Bytes 0 - 3: 'data'
Bytes 4 - 7: Length of data.

You need length of data, sampling rate and number of bits per sample to get the duration Smile | :)

Extract Length of data from DATA chunk, and all other fields from the FORMAT chunk.
And done
Cool | :cool:

Unsubscribing all event listeners

sjembek24-Aug-06 0:38

Is there any way to unsubscribe all event listeners for a certain event?

public delegate void myHandler(object Sender);
public event myHandler somethingChanged;

private void onSomethingChanged() 
{
  if(somethingChanged != null) somethingChanged(this);
}

What I would like to do is something like somethingChanged = null. Why isn't this allowed if I can actually check somethingChanged for null? somethingChanged -= someFunction is not an option, what I want is somethingChanged -= allListeners.

Can anyone help me out here?

Hi,
I don't know how to exactly do this but there should be a way.
I want to ask why do you want to do this ? because as far as I know your host doesn't know anything about its listeners.It's the responsibility of a listener to register or unregister itself.
Anyway how about having a flag variable that if set,it will stop the service.

For example:

<br />
public viod Stop()<br />
{<br />
stopped=true;<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void OnSomethingChanged()<br />
{<br />
if (stopped) return;<br />
}

Thx for the answer, wasn't expecting anyone to reply anymore. I've thought about that solution too, but I think there should be a more elegant way to fix the issue.

The reason I want to do this: the class concerned here contains some data that's shown and can be modified in dozens of places in my application. I've created a sort of "undo" function that saves a copy of the object to memory so that the user can "rollback" on his actions. These copies should contain only data, and shoudn't even try to fire any events. While debugging I found out that some references were left to my cloned objects, meaning the data in these clones is getting modified just as my "foreground" data. What's more, the number of cloned objects in memory could eventually be many thousands, so the performance hit for even for simply checking a flag each time isn't something I want.

Since manually disconnecting my eventlisteners is so sensitive to my own errors (code intensive) I'd like to be sure all eventlisteners get disconnected from the event. I'd expect the event itself to contain a list of references to all listeners. As I said before: How else could you check an event for null.

Suggestions are still welcome of course Smile | :)
