Event or whatever methods suitable for draging down and select all like in a notepad or WORD document

Hi, guys,

How could I make it possible to drag down and select even those parts which are invisible when drag event starts? Similar to Notepad or MS Word tools. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!

Best Regards!

I don't wonder what, but wonder why...

Drag on what?

What sort of application is it? Windows Forms, ASP.Net, Web; what?
What Controls are you using, what are you dragging on/over?

To get an answer to your problem, you have to describe it fully.

Hi, Henry,
Sorry for my careless mistake. I am still working on Windows Forms Application, and the control I am using now is a TableLayoutPanel, I want to drag over this control, but since there will be also a scrollbar next to this Panel, and this Panel is not showing totally the whole, I am expecting a kind of event which can handle this and if user didn't release the mouse, the Panel can move down as well as the scrollbar scrolls. Is this clear enough now? Your kind help is so much appreciated!

Sincerely
Liang

CSV isn't meant as a database, just as XML or Excell-files. That something is possible, doesn't mean that it's a good idea.

XML and CSV are slow if you treat them as a database, since the layout isn't optimized for that kind of access. Your best bet would be to use database, and export the pieces you need to CSV. If you're looking for something free and simple, consider SQLCE.

That being said, it is possible to read/write CSV data as if it were a database. You'll only need a connectionstring[^] Smile | :)

CSV can be a useful format for importing/exporting data, but although it's possible to do so, I wouldn't recommend using it as a DB.

I am working on a device application using Visual Studio 2005 (C#). in the application i need an option to stream vdos within the application. i tried the web browser component by giving embed code as its document text to embed an flv player. no error is shown.. but i guess compact framework is not supporting ActiveX... it just displays a blank browser.. when i tried the same embed code on an HTML page... it is working........is there any way i can do this on a device application?

C# Socket.BeginReceive/EndReceive

staticv7-Sep-09 0:24

In what order is the Socket.BeginReceive/EndReceive functions called?

For instance, I call BeginReceive twice, once to get the message length and the second time to get the message itself. Now the scenario is like that, for every message I send, I start waiting for its completion (actually acknowledgment of the message sent, also I wait for the action's completion after receiving the acknowledgment), so I call BeginReceive with each BeginSend, but in each BeginReceive's callback, I check if I'm receiving the length or the message. If I'm receiving the message and have received it completely, then I call another BeginReceive to receive the completion of the action. Now this is where things get out of sync. Because one of my receive callback is receiving bytes which it interprets as the length of them message when in fact it is the message itself.

Now how do I resolve it?

Here is the code, basically it is too big, sorry for that

public void Send(string message)
        {
                try
                {
                        bytesSent = 0;

                        writeDataBuffer = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(message);
                        writeDataBuffer = WrapMessage(writeDataBuffer);
                        messageSendSize = writeDataBuffer.Length;

                        clientSocket.BeginSend(writeDataBuffer, bytesSent, messageSendSize, SocketFlags.None,
                                                                new AsyncCallback(SendComplete), clientSocket);
                }
                catch (SocketException socketException)
                {
                        MessageBox.Show(socketException.Message);
                }
        }

Hi,

According to the documentation, each BeginXxx needs a corresponding EndXxx, and typically that can be handled by the callback method.

I can't tell you what exactly is wrong in your code, however it is my impression your code is too complex and not sufficiently safe. I would code this more defensively, and avoid all the global variables your class seems to hold (receiveDataBuffer, bytesReceived, messageLengthReceived).

These are things I would do differently:

1.
I would create a little class holding clientSocket, the receive data buffer, an index into it;
then create two instances (one for length, one for data) of it for each length+data communication, and pass them as the last parameter to the BeginReceive calls (and retrieve it from the EndReceive calls).

2.
I would completely split the WaitForData() method into a WaitForLength method and a WaitForData method.
And I would completely split the RecieveComplete() method into a ReceivedLength method and a ReceivedData method.

(2) makes messageLengthReceived redundant.
(1) avoids the risk of receiveDataBuffer and bytesReceived to contain data belonging to another ongoing communication.

I am not saying the problem will be solved by doing this, I do claim the code would be more robust and easier to read, and either the problem is gone, or you'll have a better chance of locating the problem.

FWIW: I'm puzzled by AsyncClient.BUFFER_SIZE, it appears only once in the code shown; is it the size required to hold the length part only?

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I need to convert the doc file into an image file.
I do not want to use the print functionality (Microsoft.office.interop) as the print out remains opened on the desktop
OR
I should say how can I close the print out of the file so that client do not come to know about that?
