I have recently installed Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition. I tried to add a report to a project and when I drag the ReportViewer to the form, it just puts it at the bottom and does not show it on the form. It also does not show the triangle in the corner to select the report. What am I doing wrong?

Are you sure that you are using ReportViewer from namespace Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms and not from WebForms?

Yes, the project was originally a VS 2005 Express Project. If I create a new project, I can add a report viewer to a form but it will not let me add a new form to this project and put a report viewer on it.

Sounds like a problem in references or in project file.
Could you reconstruct the project, meaning create a new project and add all references needed, then add all existing classes.

The project is rather large so i just created a new dll for the report viewer form and referenced it in the old project. That seems to be working. Thanks for your help.

No problem, your solution should also work fine.

Hi,
I'm having difficulty getting a section of an app.config file to show as encrypted. I run the code and get no errors, but the section does not encrypt. Any help would be appreciated, I've tried other implementations from other posts here with same results:
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Configuration;
namespace AppConfigRedux
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void btnUnprotect_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
UnProtectSection("connectionStrings");
}
private void btnProtect_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ProtectSection("connectionStrings", "DataProtectionConfigurationProvider");
}
private void ProtectSection(string sectionName, string provider)
{
Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(System.Windows.Forms.Application.ExecutablePath);
ConfigurationSection section = config.GetSection(sectionName);
if (section != null && !section.SectionInformation.IsProtected)
{
section.SectionInformation.ProtectSection(provider);
config.Save();
}
}
private void UnProtectSection(string sectionName)
{
Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(System.Windows.Forms.Application.ExecutablePath);
ConfigurationSection section = config.GetSection(sectionName);
if (section != null && section.SectionInformation.IsProtected)
{
section.SectionInformation.UnprotectSection();
config.Save();
}
}
}
}

Greetings again!
Can anyone please explain how to use the anonymous constructor with Dictionaries?
eg.:
public static Dictionary<string, UIElement> _controlList = new Dictionary<string, UIElement>()
{
};
Thanks in advance!
|

|
|
|
public static Dictionary<string, UIElement> _controlList = new Dictionary<string, UIElement>()
{
{ "Key1", value1 },
{ "Key2", value2 }
};

float a = (float)93.3;
float b = (float)2.3;
float c = a + b; // at this moment c = 95.60001;
Why? I meet this strange behavior not only in C#, but also in Javascript, Actionscript and PHP.

in addition to Dan's link, did you know you can declare a float as a literal by suffixing with an 'f' and save the expense of casting from a double (or int).
float a = 93.3f;
DaveBTW, in software, hope and pray is not a viable strategy. (Luc Pattyn)Visual Basic is not used by normal people so we're not covering it here. (Uncyclopedia)

I try to make it short:
If you compute float numbers, the computer uses "MachineNumbers" which are to a certain level adequate. So the computer has internal numbers which are taken when given a float to compute.
e.g the Machinenumbers are
0.1,
0.2,
0.3,
0.4,
0.5,
1,
1.2,
1.5,
2,
2.4,
2.5
now you pass the number 1.2 -> computer takes 1.2 because it exists
then you take 1.3 -> computer takes again 1.2 because it is the nearest "MachineNumber"
you summ them and allthough there would be a "MachineNumber" 2.5
the computer computes 1.2 + 1.2 and you get the nearest "MachineNumber" which is 2.4
That's been very simplified, but I hope that helps

Thanks to everyone for answers!

If you want to do floating point math, I've found that using the decimal type is more precise. Try it this way:
decimal a = 93.3M;
decimal b = 2.3M;
decimal c = a + b;
You should end up with precisely 95.6.
If you need to, you can follow that up by casting the result to a float or double as need be.

The caveat to using the decimal type is that unlike floats it's not implemented in hardware directly and is significantly slower to use as result. This isn't a problem if you're doing light computations, but if you're doing larger amounts of calculation working within the limits of native floating points may be needed.

To further and agree with your statement, decimal should only be used for financial or monetary values in .NET. At least that is my rule of thumb.

To really jump in on the good vibes agreeance bandwagon, if the 96.1000001 is annoying you, then you really should be using an appropriate format string when you display it to the user.
|

Additionally to what the others already said, it's not safe to compare two float values like this:
if(float1 == float2)
Instead, for floats you should rather use something like this:
if((float1 - float2) < delta)
where delta can be a small number like 0.001.

Hello!
I'm currently fiddling around with pixel drawing on Windows Forms using VC# Express, and I'm crashing into this problem.
I want to try and set up Bitmap which is configured to 8-bit colours and make use of a ColorPalette object, but I'm having slight trouble how to set this up, as I'm quite new to C# compared to C/C++.
Here is my current code:
<< in the namespace/class: >>
Rectangle pixRect;
BitmapData pixData;
Bitmap pixBitmap;
Color[] myCols;
ColorPalette myPal;
<< in the form constructor: >>
unsafe
{
myPal = new ColorPalette();
pixBitmap = new Bitmap(50, 20, PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed);
pixBitmap.Palette = myPal;
myCols = myPal.Entries;
pictureBox1.Image = pixBitmap;
pixRect = new Rectangle(0, 0, pixBitmap.Width, pixBitmap.Height);
myCols[0] = Color.FromArgb(255, 0, 255);
}
I can actually tell that "myPal" ColorPalette is no assigned, occording to a compile warning message, but there doesn't seem to be a ColorPalette constructor.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance,
OCrowley.

Not sure. Do you have something against reading the documentation?[^]

Well, I was expecting a more informative answer than just a LINK TO ANOTHER MSDN PAGE, but yes I have read that and yes I find it misleading that it doesn't show an example of how to set one up, hense why I asked here. kthnx.
Anyone else? and please, don't bite my head off.

You were expecting? Really? Wow, perhaps a more informative initial post might garner that. Perhaps the information that you only provide in your second post should have been in the first.

Expecting? Yeah, exactly why I have given up on any expectation of "Personal Responsibility".

You may not like led mike's link, but the very first sentence states:
"You are not allowed to construct a ColorPalette object directly."
You can get the Bitmap's ColorPalette using its Image.Palette Property,
also mentioned at the link.
pixBitmap = new Bitmap(50, 20, PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed);
myPal = pixBitmap.Palette;
