I think that the Professional version of Dotfuscator will handle mixed mode assemblies but I think that this version is expensive $$$ (much more than $100).

Hello all
I have a simple form and a picturebox control on it
when I loaded an image(PNG file) by the image property and then
I ran the program
I got a grey-colored picture with the same boundaries of my actual
colored picture.
I tried to change the picture to other pictures (also png) they worked correctly, so the result is, some pictures are viewed correctly and some
are not.
any help?

The picture changes to greyscale ? your code has to be doing that, no way does it happen on it's own.

Hi, thanks for replying
but I know grey-scaled images and that picture
is not.
that picture has no scaling at all, it is just grey.
note: I loaded bmp pics and all is OK.

OK - I misunderstood. Can Paint open the image ? it seems GDI+ cannot.

Yes, Paint and all imaging programs can open it clearly.
you think? I tried the sample on 3 PCs and the result is totally the same.
so should I use JPG instead?
It's a near-to-end commercial application.

Well, I guess so. That's really odd, but for whatever reason, the built in stuff is obviously having trouble.

Hi,
I have a COM object that actually allocate a memory and return a value to the calling function. When I call this COM object in C++, I can just delete the pointer by using delete keyword. But how can I do this in C#? How to free the memory allocated by the COM object?
eg.
In my COM class:
HRESULT __stdcall CTestCOM::getValues(int **arrRetVal)
{
int *pTmp = new int[100];
...
...
...
(*arrRetVal) = pTmp;
return S_OK;
}
Thanks 
|
|
|
|
|
Btw, I tried to use both Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem() and Marshal.FreeHGlobal() but it crashes with error:
Invalid Address specified to RtlFreeHeap( 00210000, 055AB388 )
Cheers

Why not add a method to the COM class that deletes a pointer that it is provided in a parameter? (Assuming here that .NET doesn't do something nasty to the pointer that makes this impossible/wrong, I'm no expert on COM Interop...)
|
|
|
|
|
Hi Trichards57,
Every good idea. I can pass in the pointer it returns to C# and pass it back to the COM object to delete it.
I have to test it first though.
Thanks for your help
Cheers

Hello every body, I need to know how could I proceed to comunicate my PC by the rs232 port(serial port) with a ligthing table wich have DMX control. I mean, I need to know what is the format I have to use to comunicate my PC whit this table via rs232 and manipulate all ligths.
I know that the insert port wich table have is a rs485 protocol, but if I can send my string from my PC to the table, what format I have to use??
What is the format of the RS485 protocol.
Please, if some body knows what I have to do, I will very gratefull...
Hola a todos, necesito saber como debo proceder para comunicar mi PC con una consola de luces, se que la consola tiene como protocolo el DMX y que el puerto de entrada es el rs485, pero si yo pongo un adaptador de señales desde mi puerto se serie (rs232) culal deberia ser el formato que deberia tener en cuenta para mover las luces que controla la consola?
Es decir, cual es el protocolo que deberia usar para poder manipular dichas luces desde mi pc??
Por favor, si alguien psabe como hacerlo, les estare muy agadecido...

The DMX software protocol is described here:
http://www.theater-technisch-lab.nl/dmxen.htm
RS-485 is not actually a protocol but a hardware interface.
It transmits data as the voltage difference between two data lines, rather than the absolute voltage on a single data line. Software wise, it is exactly like RS-232 but its maximum cable length is much further (roughly 1000M vs 12M).
In other words, for DMX you cannot use your serial port, have to spend money on hardware. The cheapest I have found is the Enttec Open DMX controller. (USD) $60.
If you are writing your own code this guy, Hippy, is a great start.
http://members.westnet.com.au/rowanmac/opendmx.html
He has an open source VB that shows how to write to the controller.
One thing to watch out for is installing the driver for the controller.
The included driver did not work for me on WinXP.
But the following did:

hi every body
the idea of my project in general is to read an excel file and save them to to DB.
so I put a progress bar that work while reading the excel file but the problem is that the progress bar seems hung and doesn't work while reading.
I didn't find any solution for that so please I need ur help 
thank u....

Genius.Boy,
You need to do the reading of the excel file in another thread. BackgroundWorker would be best to use, as it allows for you to also update the progress bar.

i made a error reporter and i want to display a "Debug" button on my form...
I want to only show this button if theirs a debugger installed...
basically i want to display the Just-In-Time debugger window.
Anyway to do this?

There is a precompiler option #if DEBUG that could work for you. Otherwise a series of if-statements is the only choice.

Look at the Debugger class, specifically IsAttached, Attach() and Break().

I have an database editing application. The tables in this application are sorted by ID (an autonumber field), so they are basically in FIFO order.
However, the editing part of the application consists of a DataGridView object to enable the user to view all the records in the table and some text boxes and comboboxes below the DataGridView to see the details of each individual record in the table.
The user edits or adds records through the text boxes and comboboxes that reflect the fields in the datatable, while the DataGridView is just for viewing (set to Edit Programmatically). The user, though, can sort records using the DataGridView to help him/her find records in the table by the order of some field other than the ID.
Well, when I add records to the table when the table is sorted according to, say, a serial number, I'm experiencing some problems. The record is added, but does not occupy the final position in the data table. Rather, it occupies the first position in the table because a new record consists of a blank serial number. Is there a way to keep from sorting the new record into the first position in the datatable? I would prefer to keep it as the last record in the table, and then sort it into its appropriate position.
Thanks.

Is there a way I can determine the name of the variable that is being accessed.
In the following example, when I call Item22.Description (or any other property of BigClass), I'd like to be able to find variablename (Item22 in this case).
class BigClass
{
public static Hashtable DescriptionsTable;
DataItem Item01;
....
DataItem Item64;
}
class DataItem
{
double _Value;
string Description
{ get { return BigClass.DescriptionsTable[variablename]; } }
}
If I don't have access to this name I figure I'll have to add a second property to BigClass for each Item (ex. Item22Description...), which seems like a waste. And I don't want to have the descriptions in each BigClass because they can get quite lengthy and there will be hundreds of BigClass instances at a time.
Any ideas?
If there's another option, how could I re-architect without wasting too much space?

The approach you are using is probably not ideal. The only thing I can think of is to eliminate the members and add an indexor.
Ideally, however, each property should access an individual member. It is the most logical method.
