I'm using Visual Studio 2005 and have a Form with a MaskedTextBox.
In the Property Grid, i set AsciiOnly to true. All other properties
are unchanged. Despite that, when I run the program, the MaskedTextBox
still accepts numerals and commas, etc... To my knoledge when the AsciiOnly
is set to true, the MaskedTextBox is supposed to restrict input to only A-Z and a-z.
It appears that the AsciiOnly property is not working.
Am I missing something here?

MSDN says: MaskedTextBox.AsciiOnly gets or sets a value indicating whether the
MaskedTextBox control accepts characters outside of the ASCII character set.

Yes, I already know that.
MSDN also says:
"If true, AsciiOnly restricts user input to the characters a-z and A-Z. ASCII control characters are not allowed. "
But it doesn't work. When I set the Property to AsciiOnly, the MaskedTextBox still
accepts characters other than a-z and A-Z. For example, it accepts comma (,), period (.),
numerals (1-9) etc...
Try it and see!
Is this a bug in .NET 2.0?

The MSDN statement "If true, AsciiOnly restricts user input to the characters a-z and A-Z.
ASCII control characters are not allowed" is wrong. If it were true, the property should
have been called AsciiLettersOnly.

Yes, apparently that is so.
What is the use of having the AsciiOnly property?
It appears to be redundant and non-functional.
Could you provide a scenario or example of how to use this property?

Although .NET characters and strings are Unicode, you might want the user to input a string
that does not contain non-ASCII characters, because what will consume them only understands
ASCII (some legacy system, some native code, a given file format, whatever).

I use c#.net languae
I want to get the system time of computer shut down.
please give me some example code.than you for help me

DateTime.Now will give you the system time. Unless you're using an OS that stores the times it was shut down ( such as Windows Server 2003 ), you can't hope to retrieve that info.

Given:
ArrayList aButtons = new ArrayList();<br />
...<br />
<br />
myBtn = System.Windows.Forms.GetButton();<br />
aButons.Add(myBtn);<br />
Later, I can't seem to do this:
aButtons[1].Enabled = true;
Instead, I seem to have to do this:
Button newButton = (Button) aButtons[1];<br />
<br />
newButton.Enabled = true;
Is there any way to access the object directly in the ListArray?
|
|
|
|
|
((Button)aButtons[1]).Enabled = true;
|
|
|
|
|
Wow, that's totally... intuitive. Anybody know why Visual Studio / C# can't parse it the first way?
On the other hand - thanks! I never would have figured that out.

Because nothing in this statement indicates aButtons is a collection of Buttons:
ArrayList aButtons = new ArrayList();
However, if you used generic collections, you could do:
List<Button> aButtons = new List<Button>();
...
aButtons[0].Enabled = true;

I have updated my RichTextBox but i can't get it to redraw.
I have tried several ways but the only one that somewhat works is to SELECT the data that is being updated .. but that has the nauseating effect on the User of causing the entire RTB text to scroll ... bad bad bad.
(no human input is involved in updating the RTB ... 183 lines are updated in microseconds ... unless SELECT is used ... then it takes a second or so)
The RTB gets updated just great, but i can not get it to redraw.
Suggestions, please.
private void UpdateRemainingTimes()
{
for (int n = 0; n < numReminders; n++)
{
string remainingTimeStr = GetRemainingTimeString(remDate[n]);
int lineIndex = ReminderRTB.GetFirstCharIndexFromLine(n);
int indexToDDD = lineIndex + 16;
ReminderRTB.Text.Remove(indexToDDD,remainingTimeStr.Length); // delete old stuff
ReminderRTB.Text.Insert(indexToDDD, remainingTimeStr); // put in new stuff
}
ReminderRTB.Invalidate(); // ??? does not cause the control to be redrawn ???
}
|

|

Have you tried Refresh and Update methods ??, the Update method should do it.
|
|
|
|
|
yes, i tried:
ReminderRTB.Invalidate();
ReminderRTB.Refresh();
ReminderRTB.Update();
in many flavors and combinations ... lol
i am beginning to wonder if there might be some property i have inadvertantly set that would prevent the redraws.

I don't recall where I found this but it should solve both of you problems:
Private Const WM_SETREDRAW As Integer = &HB
Private Const WM_USER As Integer = &H400
Private Const EM_GETEVENTMASK As Integer = (WM_USER + 59)
Private Const EM_SETEVENTMASK As Integer = (WM_USER + 69)
Private Declare Auto Function SendMessage Lib "user32.dll" ( _
ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, _
ByVal msg As Integer, _
ByVal wParam As Integer, _
ByVal lParam As IntPtr) As IntPtr
' We want to suspend redrawing because we need to select each
' character in turn to determine its fonts. However, RichTextBox
' appears to be missing some properties to do this, so use API:
' Stops RichText redrawing:
richTextBox1.SuspendLayout()
SendMessage(richTextBox1.Handle, WM_SETREDRAW, 0, IntPtr.Zero)
' Stops RichText sending any events:
Dim eventMask As IntPtr = SendMessage( _
richTextBox1.Handle, EM_GETEVENTMASK, 0, IntPtr.Zero)
' Get the selection extent:
Dim selStart = richTextBox1.SelectionStart
Dim selEnd = richTextBox1.SelectionStart + richTextBox1.SelectionLength
... perform processing here ...
' Turn events back on again:
SendMessage(richTextBox1.Handle, EM_SETEVENTMASK, 0, eventMask)
' Select the correct range (we must do this with events on otherwise
' the scroll state is inconsistent):
richTextBox1.Select(selStart, selSize)
' Turn redraw back on again:
SendMessage(richTextBox1.Handle, WM_SETREDRAW, 1, IntPtr.Zero)
richTextBox1.ResumeLayout()
' Show changes
richTextBox1.Invalidate()

i am SOOOOOOO embarassed ... complete noobie mistake .. failed to assign the RTB:
adding "ReminderRTB.Text = " to the front of these statements resolved the problem. <<blush>>
ReminderRTB.Text.Remove(indexToDDD,remainingTimeStr.Length); // delete old stuff
ReminderRTB.Text.Insert(indexToDDD, remainingTimeStr); // put in new stuff
... but thanks for trying to help!

I am designing a windows service to communicate with an application that has been written. The objective is to be able to send a notification message from the application(written in C#), to the windows service(also being written in C#). Once the service has recieved the message and processed it, It would send a message back to the application specifying whether or not the process completed successfully. I have been scouring MSDN and code project for articles on this topic, but I haven't been able to find anything relevent. I have a feeling I am not using the correct keywords. Can anyone point me to an article? Thanks

Well, I found some stuff on MSMQ. This looks like it's going to be my way to go. What do you guys think?

MSMQ is good if you need a reliable message passing system. This means that you cannot loose messages between the client and server (in either direction) if one of them is down. It usually is overkill for most things.
You need to look at creating a service that understands how to talk through the .NET remoting channels or use WCF. Using WCF is much simpler, but adds a dependency on .NET 3.0 or later.

Hi,
My application has a class CUser which represents a user. The application serializes the user object to XML like this:
CUser aUser = new CUser("firstname", "surname", "address");
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(CUser));
StreamWriter streamWriter = new StreamWriter("user.xml");
serializer.Serialize(streamWriter, aUser);
streamWriter.Close();
I've been asked to have the user details encrypted so people can't casually look at the user details. From the above I'd like to encrypt the XML strings as they're written to the file but is there an easy way of doing it? It seems that it would be convenient to have the data encrypted by the StreamWriter and then decrypted by a StreamReader. I'll need a password so how do I manage that within the application?
Thanks

Hmm, you could serialize it into a memory stream, read out the stream into an array of bytes, ecrypt the bytes with one of the built in classes or whatever, then write the encrypted array to file. And of course if the data structure becomes to large to just dump into a memory stream, you could use a filestream and create a temporary file, just remember to delete the temp file.
That just seems a bit much effort to me but...
There's probably a simpler way, but ive never used xml with c#, and i have no idea whats there. Infact, i only ever used encryption once.
