How are the projects related? Have you referenced the business layer in the web project?

there were two project BLL and DAL, BLL use DAL to complete
some CRUD jobs. i have referenced DAL in BLL.
thanks ^_^

Ok I'll byte again...
by chance are u creating a new instance of your DAL in BLL and then not reading the app.config? If the variable holding your connection string is not static then it would be null when you created a new instance of DAL. You could try declaring your connection string variable in DAL as static (might not be good practice) and see what you get.
I was thinking maybe your method only returns a (GET) value and does not actually go out and read the app.config.

I'm trying to implement a functionality that will allow the user to rename a node in a treeview by right clicking on the node and selecting 'Rename'(the same as in windows explorer). How do I trigger the editting event for the nodes from within the code?
Thank you in advance

The triangular arrow like generalization description of the UML, I have think about it for some days,but I'm still have no any ways and means.Can you tell me how to draw it? If you can give some code to me,I'll be thankful to you for it.

e.Graphics.DrawPath(Pens.Black, new System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath(
new Point[]
{
new Point(20, 20),
new Point(40, 40),
new Point(0, 40),
new Point(20, 20)
},
new byte[]
{
(byte)System.Drawing.Drawing2D.PathPointType.Start,
(byte)System.Drawing.Drawing2D.PathPointType.Line,
(byte)System.Drawing.Drawing2D.PathPointType.Line,
(byte)System.Drawing.Drawing2D.PathPointType.Line
}
));

I guess that you must understand UML shapes,do you remenber the inher inherit shape? That has a line and a triangular?
I want to draw the shape use with GDI+. I have write some code.But there are some error,Can you help me?
-----------------------------------
private void Form2_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
e.Graphics.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias;
GraphicsPath capPath = new GraphicsPath();
Point[] cappoints = new Point[] { new Point(0, 0), new Point(10, 0), new Point(0, 10), new Point(0, 0) };
capPath.AddLines(cappoints);
CustomLineCap myCap = new CustomLineCap(null, capPath);
Pen capPen = new Pen(Brushes.Black, 1);
capPen.CustomEndCap = myCap;
capPen.CustomStartCap = myCap;
myCap.StrokeJoin = LineJoin.Round;
myCap.WidthScale = 2;
e.Graphics.DrawLine(capPen, new Point(100, 100), new Point(300, 100));
---------------------------------------------

I don't see any error, unless the shape being drawn is not what you want, in which case you just need to move the points until it is ?

Okay, I think this is going to sound like a crazy question and I think I already know the answer, but I thought I'd throw it out there just to see if I've missed something.
I have a DAO/DAL (Data Access Object/Data Access Layer) class that communicates with SQL Server. The methods have a number of parameters which map to the parameters being sent into the stored procedure. Because I use a cradle-to-grave naming convention the name of the SQL Parameters are exactly the same as the parameters passed into the method.
Is there any way to iterate over the values being passed into the method and create the appropriate SqlParameter objects? I want to do something like this:
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("myStoredProcedure");
foreach(ParameterInfo paramInfo in methodParameters)
{
string name = paramInfo.Name;
object value = somethingIDontKnowWhat[name].Value;
cmd.Parameters.Add("@"+name, value);
}
I did think of passing in a Hashtable and iterating over that, but I want the security of the compiler throwing out errors if there are parameters missing.
Any other ideas?

The basic idea of layering an application is that the data storage should be totally isolated from the user interface. Your code should not be relying on the fact that the method parameters should have the same names as the parameters in the database. If you change the data storage you might have to change the parameter names, then you have to change the names in the entire application. This is exactly what layering the application is meant to prevent.
So, either layer the application propely, or not at all.

Who mentioned anything about the user interface?

This goes against the ethos of Crade-to-grave naming conventions. This is actually a very constructive part of design. To call something a "name" in one part of the code and a "title" in another part and an "id" in yet another leads to confusion and increases maintenance costs. The design should be precise enough that there is no ambiguity over what something is. If I have to spend 10 minutes tracing through code every time I want to know what some variable actually represents then this is a loss on my time and increases my costs and reduces my productivity.
Guffa wrote:

I use stored procedures to buffer any changes in the underlying data source. I also have a well designed DAO/DAL to ensure that changes in the return is buffered properly also. I have no worries about changes to the underlying database causing a negative impact on the code above it.
Guffa wrote:

Layering an application is meant to decouple the various parts of an application. My application is very well decoupled. My DAL/DAO class knows nothing about the business layer and it will never need to. The business layer knows nothing about the backend database and it will never need to. The DAO/DAL classes are the interface into the Data Layer - some people consider them part of the Data Layer as they operate at the boundary between the data and the business layer. The design of my application means that, since my code only ever interacts with the abstract base class, the concrete class can speak to SQL Server, Access, Oracle, MySql or whatever - the factory class decides which needs to be instantiated.
Guffa wrote:

As I've explained, it is properly layered. Crade-to-grave naming does not mean that coupling increases, it is just a technique to improve the quality of code and reduce maintenance time and costs.
I hope this helps explain my architecture and that I am quite well aware of how to design applications properly. I won't say that it is perfect as I've never found a perfect example of a design as there are always trade offs due to some limitation or another. But I will say that it is a design that I would expect to hold up against many future cycles of development as it moves and changes due to changing business requirements.

So your application is so decoupled that you decided it needed to be more coupled? 
Well, the information you could get from the method parameters is just not enough to create the parameters. For an example, a string doesn't have a specified maximum length, but a varchar field in the database does.

I was just looking for a way to transfer the parameters passed into the method to parameters to the Stored Procedure. The method is just a proxy to the stored procedure, everything is passed straight through with no real processing. This is not coupling the layers together. It is using the surrogate pattern (see Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object Oriented Software by Gamma et al.)
For example at the moment I might have a method in my DAO assembly that looks like this:
public bool InsertData(int id, string name, int someValue)
{
SqlParameter[] spParams = new SqlParameter[3];
spParams[0] = new SqlParameter("@id", id);
spParams[1] = new SqlParameter("@name", name);
spParams[2] = new SqlParameter("@someValue", someValue);
int result = (int)SqlHelper.ExecuteScalar(ConnectionString,
CommandType.StoredProcedure, "InsertData", spParams);
return result==1;
}
As you can see all that is happening is that there is a stored procedure with exactly the same signature (only in SQL) and my DAO class is acting as a proxy or surrogate for the Stored Procedure so that I can layer my application properly and don't have lots of SQL calls dispersed randomly throughout my code.
All I wanted was to see if there was some automated mechanism to transfer the parameter values passed into the method to Stored Procedure without having to manually build up a SqlParameter array.
Now, obviously, if there isn't such a mechanism then that's fine - I just have a bit more work to do for each Stored Procedure.

As you can see from my example above, all I need is the name of the parameter and its value. You don't NEED to put in other information.

That isn't of concern the business rules prevent bad data getting through. The Stored Procedures also do their own sanity checks. The EXECUTE permissions on the Stored Procedures will only allow certain users to access them. Users cannot access the tables directly and must go through stored procedures.
As you can see I have thought a lot about the design of the application to ensure that it is properly decoupled and that bad data gets stopped as early as possible, but there additional checks in place to catch anything bad that might get through. I am also constantly refactoring the application to improve the ability to maintain it and improve security.
Are you happy yet that I am actually a competent developer and that I just wanted my original question answered rather than enter into a discussion about my abilities to design an application properly?

No, you don't need to. But then the provider has to do an extra round trip (or several?) to the database to query for the data type to use for each parameter.

I have never questioned your ability to design an application, I have only pointed out where the method seems to break the entire basis of application layering. I didn't mean to offend you, the answer was only based on you initial question, and what people usually try to do when asking things like that.

It's not a good way to do interprocess communication, but the API function you're looking for is SendMessage[^], or one of it's variants as you see fit.

So, I've changed the font(style and characteristics), and the fore and background colors for both selected and not selected on the ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle of my DataGridView(Image part A). This is the ONLY place I have modified the information. In the editor itself, only the font changes show up(Image Part B), and when the program is run, neither the font nor the color changes show up(Image Part C). Any ideas if this is a bug with the new DataGridView class or I'm just not setting anything correctly?

Im currently serializing a objects of type Task, which is defined as
[Serializable]
public class Task
{
public event NameChangedHandler NameChanged;
... etc ...
}
the problem is that there are types which are not Serializable connected to the NameChanged event.
one of these objects are of type class UITask. this causes the serialization process of Task objects to try to serialize the UITask objects contained by
the event which naturally results in a serialization exception.
Does anyone know how to avoid this? I guess it can be done by implementing ISerializable, but there should be an easier solution?
Thanks!
Johan

I'm not clear on what the desired effect is, here:
1. You want the event serialized, but want some way of bypassing or simplifying the UITask type? - or -
2. You just want to skip serializing the event altogether?
In case 1, there's really no shortcut - either implement ISerializable and deal with it in GetObjectData and a deserialization constructor, or come up with a way to mark UITask as serializable.
In case 2, you can mark the event with a [Field:NonSerialized] attribute, or mark the delegate with a [NonSerialized] attribute.
Of the two choices, I would vote for not serializing the event. When you serialize an event, you're making a request to serialize the entire event subscriber graph, and since it's not usually completely knowable what types may be subscribing to your event (or whether they're serializable), it's a risky move as well as a potentially slow one.
Here's a link to a discussion on the topic:
http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/archive/2004/12/29/343659.aspx[^]
Hope this helps.

Is there a way to edit the msi database with c#. I want to write a program that will change just one registry entry within the msi database and then email the msi to the client.
This will save me the hassle of recompiling the msi and then emailing it to the client.
Thanks in advance.

Highly doubtful, an MSI is compressed.

This is not an easy task. You have to get to know the finest of details of how an MSI database works and how all the tables relate to each other. You can start by reading this[^] and following all the links.
Or you can just get Wise for Windows Installer, or some other product that can edit MSI files directly.

If you download the platform SDK[^], you get a tool called "Orca" which you can use to edit the MSI database. If you know what you want to change (in general, changes to the Registry table are very straigtforward), it's very easy to effect and save the change.
If you are determined to do the changes programatically, this article[^] provides the interop signatures and sample code you'll need.
Once you've opened the database, you just use SQL to UPDATE the tables you want.
Share and enjoy.

I am using an iterator, which iterates through the xml file and reads each node.
Can I access an element directly if it has an unique name?
