}Basically, I go through the list of properties on both types. If both have a property with the same name, I try to copy the value from one to the other. If they are the same type, I simply set one to the other. Otherwise, I check if the result type has a constructor that takes the source type as a parameter. If so, I call the constructor. If not, then I look for a typecast definition between the two types (either explicit or implicit). If found, I cast the value of the source property to the type of the target property. This works great to copy objects with the same (or similar) properties into different types. Thanks for the help!
Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mondays

Hi,
I need to determine user role, especially if user is administrator. I know one way, but that way doesn't provide the information I need:
WindowsPrincipal principal = new WindowsPrincipal(WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent());
principal.IsInRole(WindowsBuiltInRole.Administrator);
the problem is that even if user is an administrator (on Vista) and the UAC is on , user still behaves like non-administrator user. Difference is when a UAC form is displayed. When an administrator is required to elevale a process to admin rights, he doesn't need to type in his (administrator) credentials. However a regular user does have to type in these credentianls (of course). So if an application is run under administrator but not elevated to administrator rights, the principal says that the Current User is not an administrator. I need to know if that user is an administrator not depending on current Thread/Appication granted rights.
thanx in advance...

Hi
i have the following code which insetrs a value into the database, however it says the value is not in the correct format.
any help?
thanks
Session["Qty_New"] = tb_Qty_New.Text.;
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@qty_new", SqlDbType.Int));
cmd.Parameters["@qty_new"].Value = Convert.ToInt32(Session["Qty_New"]);

Yes, obviously ensure Session["Qty_New"] has data, and that that data can be converted to an int before converting it.
Check out int.TryParse rather than Convert.ToInt32
|
|
|
|

Two things - you don't actually need to convert the session to an int to assign it to the parameter. Also, you should check to see if Session["Qty_New"] is null or an empty string before using it.

Hi
are you sure i dont need to convert to int, i took it out and left it like this
string Qty_New
Qty_New = tb_Qty_New.Text;
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@qty_new", SqlDbType.Int));
cmd.Parameters["@qty_new"].Value = Qty_New;
however this doesnt work
there is a value in Qty_New
cheers

 Your post doesn't make much sense. Redirect what?

I want to know what is happening in these lines of code:
a)
public class cAppBarDisplay:AppBar
{
cMessageProcessing CMS;
public cAppBarDisplay(cMessageProcessing cMP)
{
CMS = cMP;
}
}
->cMessageProcessing CMS;
By this mean are we creating a refrence?
->and what the constructer is actually doing?
CMS & cMP both are refrence of same class
Thanks in advance,
plz describe in a bit detail.

You created a field called CMS, which you can set to reference an instance of cMessageProcessing. This happens when you do CMS = cMP for example.
humdumof wrote: CMS = cMP;//exactly what is happening here
You assign the parameter cMP to the field CMS. They now hold the same reference to an instance of the cMessageProcessing class (not a reference to the class itself).

By this what u mean?
also CMS=cMP;
Does it mean we can access all the methods of cMessageProcessing thru CMS?
& what is use of doing all this in constructor?

When you use a class you create an instance of it. Kinda like if i want a bowl of cereal, i have to get myself a bowl and some cereal, and probably some milk. Then my bowl of cereal that i can eat, would be an instance of a bowl of cereal... if you follow me.
When you pass the instance of your class to the constructor your passing a reference (pointer) to it.
humdumof wrote: also CMS=cMP;

Yes, you can access all the methods of the class through CMS.
The use of this, is that you can make use of the same instance of a class, in as many different classes as you like. So you can make 1 instance of your class, and pass it to 2 other classes for example. Then both classes will work on the same instance.
EDIT: As for why you should actually do this in the constructor: If the new class depends on having an instance of cMessageProcessing (ie it uses it) and it does not get passed a reference or create its own instance, then it will probably crash. By passing it to the constructor, you can guarantee that the new class will always have an instance of cMessageProcessing, it would be impossible to instatiate the class (ie myClass = new MyClass()) without passing the correct parameters.

buddy, U have a typical class code with u.
Just look in the code its just a constructor with one parameter which is initiallising the value passed by the parameter to the local class variable.

I am writing a program using System.Timers.Timer to trigger the webcam to capture an image and saved in a file.
The image saving function is workable when it works standalone (by clicking a button). However, when I call the image saving function in the OnTimedEvent (event-triggering function) it fails. It will pop up the following error message:
"System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object...."
I lately found that the Data could not be retrieved from the clipboard when the clipboard is being used by another process...
Following is the Caputure function of the webCam device... (in Device.cs)
public Image Capture()<br />
{<br />
try{<br />
if (deviceHandle != 0)<br />
{<br />
SendMessage(deviceHandle, WM_CAP_EDIT_COPY, 0, (IntPtr)0);<br />
IDataObject ido = Clipboard.GetDataObject();<br />
if (ido.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Bitmap))<br />
{<br />
return ((Bitmap)ido.GetData(DataFormats.Bitmap));<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
catch (Exception ex)<br />
{<br />
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString(), "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);<br />
}<br />
return null;<br />
<br />
}
Following is the timer triggering function...
private void OnTimedEvent(object source, ElapsedEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
<br />
SavingOnePic(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), txtSavingName.Text.ToString());<br />
<br />
}
Following is the saving Function, it works when it is called from a button click event. however, does not work in the above OnTimedEvent function.
private void SavingOnePic(string savingPath, string fileName)<br />
{<br />
<br />
try<br />
{<br />
<br />
if (!Directory.Exists(@savingPath+@"\capturedImage")) <br />
{<br />
Directory.CreateDirectory(@savingPath + @"\capturedImage");<br />
fileIndex = 0;<br />
}else{<br />
string[] fileList = Directory.GetFiles(@savingPath + @"\capturedImage",<br />
fileName + "*.png");<br />
<br />
fileIndex = fileList.Length;<br />
}<br />
<br />
Image image = selectedDevice.Capture();<br />
<br />
image.Save(@savingPath + @"\capturedImage\" + fileName + <br />
"_000" + fileIndex.ToString() + ".png", ImageFormat.Png);<br />
<br />
fileIndex++;<br />
<br />
}<br />
catch (Exception ex)<br />
{<br />
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString(), "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);<br />
}<br />
}

Sorry that I didn't mention it clearly.
I want to know why the SavingOnePic function in OnTimedEvent cannot run.
I found that the clipboard does not have any data if the SavingOnePic function in OnTimedEvent. But I don't know how to solve it 
Thanks
