I have no idea what a COBOL copy-book is. Maybe post a snippet of one? Plus a sample of what the input and output would be?

I want to creat a .net app reading "messages" or shall I say files defined by a cobol-copy book format/layout. Do this I want to reference the copy-book and pass the message to it for unmarshalling and then writing it out to another message in yet another cobol copy-book format. Like creating a middleware app. If I have to transform the copy book and write it out to as a file format, it could take ages as they are huge layouts and would be easier just to reference the copy-book. Hope this explains!

Hi all,
I have some html files (Custom Reports) and I want to show the print preview of them to the user.I don't want to use IE print preview or web browser because they are not embedded in my application and I can not control them the way I want. I was wondering if there is a way to preview a html file in PrintPreviewControl (or any other components like that)?
Please help me.
thank you.

Assuming your app is a WinForms app, I see three possibilities:
1.
Use a WebBrowser control and have it navigate to your HTML document.
2.
Use any external app you choose (MS Word if you must), and make it show its main form inside your app, by calling SetParent (using P/Invoke).
3.
create your own UserControl, that parses and interprets HTML; it is quite a job, probably not worth the effort it would take.

This is huge and writing my own class to parse the message to is probably a waist of time. I'll see if I can come up with a better solution or find something and post back.

something along these lines would show your HTML editor inside your panel "myPanel":
Process p=Process.Start("myHtmlEditor", "someFile.html");
p.WaitForInputIdle();
IntPtr hWndChild=p.MainWindowHandle();
IntPtr hWndParent=myPanel.Handle;
SetParent(hWndChild, hWndParent);
Adapt where necessary!
And the prototype for the native Win32 function would be:
[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
static extern IntPtr SetParent(IntPtr hWndChild, IntPtr hWndNewParent);

You have significantly less control over starting another app than you do over a web browser OCX, which the OP says isn't enough, so I doubt this solution will fulfil his needs. The best third party app for rendering HTML – a browser – is already available as a control in .Net.

I'm working on a WPF app using MVVM with Telerik controls. I have a Telerik RadTreeView loaded with clients and projects:
<telerik:RadTreeView Width="200"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Clients}"
SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedItem, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
Here are the 2 data models:
http://www.maroisconsulting.com/stuff/models.png[^]
When a node is clicked, the SelectedItem's Get calls nodeSelected. Here's where the fun begins.
The nodeSelected methods is responsible for
1) Extracting the DataModel (either the ClientModel or ProjectModel) from the selected node
2) Creating the view (ClientView or ProjectView)
3) Creating the viewmodel (ClientViewModel or ProjectViewModel)
4) Adding a tab to a RadTabControl and assigning the view to it.
While this all works fine, the code doesn't feel right. In the code below, you'll see that both the Client and Project sections have alot in common. I'd like to get some suggestions on refactoring it (Sorry it's a bit long):
private void nodeSelected()
{
if (SelectedItem == null)
return;
string selectedObjectName = SelectedItem.GetType().Name.Trim().ToLower();
switch (selectedObjectName)
{
#region Client
case "clientmodel":
ClientModel clientModel = SelectedItem as ClientModel;
TabInfo clientTabInfo = getTabInfo(AppViews.Client, clientModel.ClientId);
if (clientTabInfo == null)
{
string clientName = "Client - " + clientModel.ClientName;
string clientImage = "/Falcon;component/Media/Graphics/customer_48x48.png";
string clientIcon = "/Falcon;component/Media/Graphics/customer_16x16.png";
ClientViewModel clientViewModel = new ClientViewModel(clientModel)
{
HeaderTitle = clientName,
HeaderImage = clientImage
};
ClientView clientView = new ClientView
{
DataContext = clientViewModel };
TabInfo info = new TabInfo
{
ItemId = clientModel.ClientId,
ViewType = AppViews.Client
};
RadTabItem tab = addTab(clientName, clientIcon);
tab.Content = clientView;
tab.Tag = info;
Tabs.Add(tab);
SelectedTab = tab;
}
else
{
activateTab(AppViews.Client, clientModel.ClientId);
}
break;
#endregion
#region Project
case "projectmodel":
ProjectModel ProjectModel = SelectedItem as ProjectModel;
TabInfo projectTabInfo = getTabInfo(AppViews.Project, ProjectModel.ProjectId);
if (projectTabInfo == null)
{
string projectName = "Project - " + ProjectModel.Caption;
string projectImage = "/Falcon;component/Media/Graphics/project_48x48.png";
string projectIcon = "/Falcon;component/Media/Graphics/project_16x16.png";
ProjectViewModel ProjectViewModel = new ProjectViewModel(ProjectModel)
{
HeaderTitle = projectName,
HeaderImage = projectImage
};
ProjectView ProjectView = new ProjectView();
ProjectView.DataContext = ProjectViewModel;
TabInfo info = new TabInfo
{
ItemId = ProjectModel.ProjectId,
ViewType = AppViews.Project
};
RadTabItem tab = addTab(projectName, projectIcon);
tab.Content = ProjectView;
tab.Tag = info;
Tabs.Add(tab);
SelectedTab = tab;
}
else
{
activateTab(AppViews.Project, ProjectModel.ProjectId);
}
break;
#endregion
}
}
Everything makes sense in someone's mind

That's not too bad. It looks similar but actually most of it is not identical and therefore isn't an immediate candidate for refactoring. The only thing that is is creating or activating a tab, which is about 10 lines, which isn't critical.
However, the type switching by name is ugly. You should have ClientModel and ProjectModel both implement an interface (let's call it IModelInfoProvider) that exposes what you need to determine tab identity (an AppViews enum, ModelType, and an ID). You could argue that they should go in the view model, so if you have two way linkage you could put them there and expose a base view model through the interface, or make the UI control have ViewModels not Models as its item list. Then you can do:
IModelInfoProvider item = (IModelInfoProvider)SelectedItem;
TabInfo tabInfo = getTabInfo(item.ViewType, item.ID);
if(tabInfo == null){
TabInfo info = new TabInfo
{
ItemId = item.ID,
ViewType = item.ViewType
};
IView view = ...;
RadTabItem tab = addTab(view.DisplayName, view.IconPath);
tab.Content = view;
tab.Tag = info;
SelectedTab = tab;
} else activateTab(tabInfo.Tab);
Now, what goes in ... is essentially 'make your MV and View'. Depending on how strict on layering you're feeling you can either expose that as an interface method as well, or create a factory to which you can pass a model and it will construct views of the appropriate type. In the latter case you will still have to type switch, inside the factory code – please use is if you have to type switch, not string type names!

I have a C# 2010 Windows Forms project that accesses (primarily) two tables in a SQL Server 2008 database. Each table is accessed in two modes: active accounts and cancelled accounts, and both have to be visible and editable at the same time (user requirement). The way I have it set up now is to have one DataSet, one TableAdapterManager, two TableAdapters (one for each table) and four BindingSources (two for each table adapter; one for active, one for cancelled). I have FillBy/GetDataBy methods setup for each TableAdapter that fill my BindingSources correctly. This is the code I’m using for filling them:
htcActiveBindingSource.DataSource = this.htcTableAdapter.ActiveGetDataBy(gpn);
htcCancelledBindingSource.DataSource = this.htcTableAdapter.CancelledGetDataBy(gpn);
vetActiveBindingSource.DataSource = this.vetTableAdapter.ActiveGetDataBy(gpn);
vetCancelledBindingSource.DataSource = this.vetTableAdapter.CancelledGetDataBy(gpn);
Everything works exactly as I was hoping, except for saving. The code I was using for saving is this:
this.Validate();
this.htcActiveBindingSource.EndEdit();
this.htcCancelledBindingSource.EndEdit();
this.vetActiveBindingSource.EndEdit();
this.vetCancelledBindingSource.EndEdit();
this.tableAdapterManager.UpdateAll(this.cramdDataSet);
When I step through in debug mode, the current row in the BindingSource knows that it has been modified after the EndEdits run. However, when it executes the UpdateAll, nothing happens in the database. Playing around with it, I figured out that if I fill the TableAdapter directly, like this:
this.htcTableAdapter.ActiveFillBy(this.cramdDataSet.htc, gpn);
then it works, but only for just active or just cancelled, not both at the same time (it sets both binding sources to the same data). Is there some way to get the data from the independent BindingSources back into the TableAdapter? Or am I going to be forced to create a second table adapter for the cancelled versions of each table? Am I going about this in a completely retarded way? If so, please enlighten me! (As much as I’d like to make my code work, I’m not opposed to rewriting big chunks to do it the “right” way.) I’m also going to need to insert new records created from the form, but I haven’t gotten to that point yet since my basic save is not even working.
Thanks in advance!

Can you show ActiveFillBy and ActiveGetDataBy? I suspect that you are returning a binding source on an in-memory copy of the data and the link back to the database is being lost.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not sure what you mean by "show ActiveFillBy and ActiveGetDataBy". They are queries attached to the htcTableAdapter in the dataset designer. However, I stumbled upon a way to make it work, but I'm not sure exactly why it works. If I alter the code like this before the UpdateAll, then it works:
this.htcActiveBindingSource.EndEdit();
this.htcTableAdapter.Update((cramdDataSet.htcRow)((DataRowView)this.htcActiveBindingSource.Current).Row);
I get what the update is doing: taking the current row from the BindingSource and applying it back to the TableAdapter. What I don't get is the parameter value (starting w/ the first double parentheses). I found that online somewhere a while ago, but I don't understand what it is doing. Is there a better way to pass the current row into the update? More importantly, is there a way to pass the entire set of rows from the binding source? The vetActiveBindingSource and vetCancelledBindingSource can have multiple records in them that can all be edited. Since one overload of the BindingSource.Update method can take a collection of rows, I'd rather do it like that, rather than looping thru all the records and passing them in one at a time. I looked thru the BindingSource properties and methods but didn't see anything that looked promising.

|
|
Ah, I thought those were methods you'd written. I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with this piece of Microsoft magic to offer detailed advice. (Anything with auto-generated code I try to avoid using; I like to know what my program is doing! The form designer I will accept as that code is just layout and not function, but data binding templates and the like are too magic for my taste.)
What that statement seems to be doing is casting the binding source to a view and its current row back to the original schema. I would expect you to be able to update through the view, so perhaps there is some option you missed when creating the binding?
|
|
|
|
|
I'm beginning to think the "non-magic" method is the way to go. Even though I got the save working, I keep running into other obstacles trying to make this do what I want. Can you give me some advice on rewriting this manually? Some sample code doing something similar would be great, or a site with a tutorial on setting it up. As long as it doesn't involve a datagridview... I've read several tutorial sites and they seem to only deal with that and it won't work for what I'm trying to do (and I haven't figured out how to convert what they say for the DGV into separate controls).
|
|
|
|
|
You can use the DGV without needing to do so much magic. For example you can bind to a List<T>, and catch the OnCellValueChanged to manually send an update to your data source. If you're using WPF, you can bind to an ObservableList<T>, and use the list notifications to update a data source.
If you're trying to view tabular data, the DGV is a good control to use. It's the binding magic that confuses me.

Hi experts,
I am developing an application for a customer. The application uses a USB device for which there is a driver. The customer would like the application setup to include the driver installation.
AFAIK the way to go is
1. Copy driver files to some directory I know.
2. Tell windows to look in that directory for driver files.
3. Plug device in.
Windows will ask for driver files.
4. Choose to install automatically.
Windows will use stored directory (2) to install drivers.
My Problem is step (1). What I tried was:
- include the driver files in a subdirectory of my application project (Right click on project, "Add", "New folder")
- add "Content files" to setup's file system view (Or whatever "Inhaltsdateien" reads in english).
- compile and execute setup on target machine.
Some of the files were copied, but others were not. Here are the files I had added to the application project:
- USBDriver
- amd64
| \ ftbusui.dll
| \ ftcserco.dll
| \ ftd2xx.lib
| \ ftd2xx64.dll
| \ ftdibus.sys
| \ ftlang.dll
| \ ftser2k.sys
| \ ftserui2.dll
- i386
| \ ftbusui.dll
| \ ftcserco.dll
| \ ftd2xx.dll
| \ ftd2xx.lib
| \ ftdibus.sys
| \ ftlang.dll
| \ ftser2k.sys
| \ ftserui2.dll
- Static
| - amd64
| | \ ftd2xx.lib
| - i386
| \ ftd2xx.lib
\ DPInst.exe
\ dpinst.xml
\ ftd2xx.h
\ ftdibus.cat
\ ftdibus.inf
\ ftdiport.cat
\ ftdiport.inf And these are the files that got copied:
-USBDriver
- amd64
| \ ftbusui.dll
| \ ftcserco.dll
| \ ftd2xx64.dll
| \ ftlang.dll
| \ ftserui2.dll
- i386
| \ ftbusui.dll
| \ ftcserco.dll
| \ ftd2xx.dll
| \ ftlang.dll
| \ ftserui2.dll
\ DPInst.exe
\ dpinst.xml
\ ftd2xx.h
\ ftdibus.inf
\ ftdiport.inf
It seems that files with extensions .sys, .cat and .lib did not get copied.
Why is that?
How can I transfer all of the driver files to their destination?
Ciao,
luker
