Thanks Dave,
It works !! Do you know of a good reference on more MDI topics ? A step by step guide to get abit more out of my MDI code !
cheers

Not really - MDI is much the same as any other winforms app.
The only suggetions I would give are:
1. Get very familiar with events and delegates as inevitably you'll find the need to get your child forms communicating with their parent and siblings.
2. All your child forms are actually hosted in a container which is an instance of the MdiClient class. You may find sometimes it's useful to have access to that control. Creating this readonly property and member variable in your MdiParent will make this much easier.
private MdiClient m_MdiClient;
public MdiClient MdiClient
{
get
{
if (m_MdiClient != null)
return m_MdiClient;
foreach (Control control in Controls)
{
if (control is MdiClient)
{
m_MdiClient = (MdiClient)control;
return m_MdiClient;
}
}
throw new Exception("MdiClient control could not be found");
}
}
You then have access to all the containers properties, methods and events!

I have one DataTable and one datagridview.
Both are hardcoded.
DataTable has been populated and now i want to bind this with DataGridView.
DGV.DataSource = datatable;
Above code is not working. This code is not giving any error but this code is not populating datagridview.
Is there any property for binding Hardcoded DGV.
Thanx in Advance.....

dataGridView1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
dataGridView1.AutoGenerateColumns = true;
bindingSource1.DataSource = GetData("Select * From Products");
dataGridView1.DataSource = bindingSource1;
dataGridView1.AutoSizeRowsMode =
DataGridViewAutoSizeRowsMode.DisplayedCellsExceptHeaders;
dataGridView1.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.Fixed3D;
dataGridView1.EditMode = DataGridViewEditMode.EditOnEnter;

I'm trying to wrap my head around using LINQ and lambda expressions in c# 3.0, and as such I threw together a short (presumably) simple exercise- A general function that will take an IEnumerable and return a concatonation of the string representations of each of the elements contained therein.
public String concat(ICollection values )
{
return values.Cast<object>().Aggregate((Object x, Object y) => x.ToString() + y.ToString());
}
However, when I try to run this little gem, I get the following:
"The type arguments for method 'System.Query.Sequence.Aggregate<t>, System.Query.Func<t,t,t>)' cannot be inferred from the usage. Try specifying the type arguments explicitly"
Googling revealed that this error is usually the result of saying (x,y) => ... instead of explicitly typing X and Y the way you would when defining the parameters in a method. Makes sense, except that I'm explicitly saying "(Object x, Object y)". Further, when I change all instances of "Object" to "String" (which I don't want to do for the final version, as I want this to work for any type of object), it works without a hitch. I don't understand why that makes a difference, since I'm calling ToString() on the object to get the string out, and "ToString()" works for any object. Is this a failing of the type inference system? Or am I just completely glossing over something?
Much appreciated.

I'm still getting the "type arguments for method ... cannot be inferred from the usage" error. Even tried throwing gratuitious use of "Object" back in (Object x, Object y).
Thanks for the attempt, though.

Erm, the code as I pasted I compiled, so either you are missing something, or you are compiling in VS2005 maybe (or using the C# 2.0 compiler?)!

My mistake- I was using a "linq playground" project I'd initially created in VS2005. Moving to 2008 apparently didn't update all the references, so it was still trying to compile down to C# 2.0. Changed the LINQ references to point to 3.5 (instead of the preview release that you could download for 2.0), and changed the "target" to .NET framework 3.5, and it works perfectly now.
Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for the help!

Hello All,
I'm having real memory issues trying to marshal and unpack an unmanaged structure in C#. Any help would be appreciated.
The structure is defined as:
typedef struct
{
WORD BaudGen;
WORD Timer0Reload;
BYTE Prescaler;
DWORD BaudRate;
} BAUD_CONFIG;
I tried a few ways to marshal and had the most success with:
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct BAUD_CONFIG
{
public System.UInt16 BaudGen;
public System.UInt16 Timer0Reload;
public Byte Prescaler;
public System.UInt32 BaudRate;
}
[DllImport("cp210xmanufacturing.dll")]
public static extern int CP210x_GetBaudRateConfig(
IntPtr cyHandle,
IntPtr baudConfigData);
I tried to access it with the following C# code:
int myStatus = 0;
UsbToCom.BAUD_CONFIG myBaudConfig = new UsbToCom.BAUD_CONFIG();
IntPtr SlHandle = new IntPtr();
IntPtr myBuffer = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(Marshal.SizeOf(myBaudConfig));
Marshal.StructureToPtr(myBaudConfig, myBuffer, true);
myStatus = UsbToCom.CP210x_Open(0, ref SlHandle);
myStatus = UsbToCom.CP210x_GetBaudRateConfig(SlHandle, myBuffer);
myBaudConfig = (UsbToCom.BAUD_CONFIG)Marshal.PtrToStructure(myBuffer,
typeof(UsbToCom.BAUD_CONFIG));
Marshal.FreeHGlobal(myBuffer);
UsbToCom.CP210x_Close(SlHandle);
The problem is that the results are good but NUnit reports an MDA memory problem probably due to the way I'm marshalling.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I have a Generic Queue<privateType> object, myGenericQueue.
My application receives events from another application. In my event handler, I asynchronously (and therefore on a different thread) enqueue data to myGenericQueue, using a delegate (myDelegate.beginInvoke).
I use a callback method to determine if the Enqueue operation succeeded. Both the asynch method and the callback produce debug output.
In my app's main(), a Form Timer periodically pings, at which time I LOCK myGenericQueue, enumerate and dequeue it. Again, more debug output.
To test for synchronization problems, I put a long sleep in my dequeue loop, so that myGenericQueue will be locked when my event handlers try to Enqueue data.
Here's what I'm seeing, that I don't understand: while myGenericQueue is theoretically LOCKed, my event handlers are still having no problems Enqueuing data. The callbacks fire right away, suggesting no delay, and all of the debug output matches order/timing expectations. All data is making it to myGenericQueue.
Is this expected? Why is there no collision with the lock?
The documentation for the Generic Queue object says:
A Queue<T> can support multiple readers concurrently, as long as the collection is not modified. Even so, enumerating through a collection is intrinsically not a thread-safe procedure. To guarantee thread safety during enumeration, you can lock the collection during the entire enumeration. To allow the collection to be accessed by multiple threads for reading and writing, you must implement your own synchronization.
Doesn't this suggest I should be seeing collisions?
Here's my dequeuing code:
lock (myGenericQueue)
{
while (myGenericQueue.Count > 0)
{
myList.Add((privateType)myGenericQueue.Dequeue());
System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Log(0, "", "Starting 5 sec sleep at: " + DateTime.Now.Ticks + Environment.NewLine);
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000);
System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Log(0, "", "Coming out of 5 sec sleep at: " + DateTime.Now.Ticks + Environment.NewLine);
}
}

You only mention locking in one place. You have to lock it in both places. Basically, the lock is asking "can I aquire a lock?" and if it can it gets one. If it can't it blocks until it can get one.

How... odd. The documentation of "lock" at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/c5kehkcz.aspx[^] makes no mention at all about having to use lock on both sides. In fact, the example quite clearly shows the lock being applied in only one place, and the lock still preventing another thread from accessing that code...

That is because the one place is being used by multiple threads. It is being used on ALL (10) sides, in that example.

Yeah, I figured out my error in thinking. I was so used to using lock (myQueue.SyncRoot) that I had come to think of it as locking the Queue itself, not setting a lock flag on one of the queue's members.
Turns out all I needed to do for my Generic Queues - which I thought didn't have a SyncRoot member, since it didn't show up in VS 2008's Intellisense  , was to use
lock (((ICollection)myGenericQueue).SyncRoot)
{
}
It was good to be reminded of what the lock statement was actually doing, though. Thanks!

No, that doesn't protect the queue. You still have to use a lock around every piece of code that uses the queue.
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

Agreed, I should have made that clear. I was just explaining why I thought the lock (object) call was actually protecting the object.
And, I was just noting that the lock (((ICollection)myGenericQueue).SyncRoot) statement gives me a nice shared object to lock that can be used by my library code and its callers. I was happy to find I could still do this with Generic Queues, the way I had with... uh, non-generic queues. Specific queues?

Yes.
JoeRip wrote: Why is there no collision with the lock?
Because you are not using the lock correctly. The lock doesn't protect the object that you are referring to in any way, the object is only used as an identifier. What the lock does is to prevent another code block locking with the same identifier to be entered (or the same code block to be reentered by another thread).
So, to protect your queue, you need a lock around every piece of code that uses the queue.
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

I'm following the code here http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/show/4071/1/ to check Verizon email.
On this page the code is started http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/show/4071/7/. I set the server to 'incoming.verizon.net', and my username and password.
When I run it, I get the error "An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host".
I'm not sure what this means, or what I'm doing wrong. I checked the code, and it's all entered as exactly as in the article.
Anyone know what this message means?

Just a tip...if you get an error, copy the error message and Google it. There are many chances that you will find the answer there itself without waiting for someone's comment here.

Well, in your case I believe either your username or password is incorrect.
