generate each bit sequentially running a counter to detect too many consecutive digits. If two bytes end up identical discard the second and regenerate.

i have the following,i'm generating a 32bit alphanumeric number,how to i check for my criteria?
GenerateRandomNumbers(1,7);
private string GenerateRandomNumbers(int Count, int Precision)
{
System.Text.StringBuilder numberBuilder = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
System.Text.StringBuilder numberString = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
string newNumber;
for (int loop=0; loop < Count; loop++)
{
numberBuilder.Length = 0;
while (numberBuilder.ToString().Length < Precision)
{
numberBuilder.Append(System.Guid.NewGuid().ToString().Replace("-", ""));
}
newNumber = numberBuilder.ToString();
if (newNumber.Length > Precision)
{
newNumber = newNumber.Substring(0, Precision);
}
numberString.Append((loop + 1).ToString());
numberString.Append(newNumber.ToUpper());
if ((loop+1) < Count) { numberString.Append(", "); }
}
return numberString.ToString();
}

After giving it more thought... First begin with the bytes that don't have three consecutive digits, there are only sixty-eight of them:

Put these in a collection (an array perhaps), grab one at random. Grab another, if the first ends with a double-digit and the second begins with the same double-digit, then try again.
You don't say whether or not using the same byte twice is allowed.

im a relative noob when it comes to code, im more of a creative 3d designer but as part of my uni course i do need to create a working 2d side scrolling shooter like metal slug using visual studio, direct X 9 in C#... i can use a games engine if i wish as they want to concentrate on my creative skills rather then code work...
SO a couple of questions i have for you very fine people...
---I need a minimum spec for a PC that can run this game, its going to be very simple with only 3 levels and simple 16 bit colours any ideas?
--- Does anyone know of a nice games engine that i can run in VS.
cheers guys...

Hi all,
It seems an application i'm working on has developed a problem. My colleague has created a user control which inherits the ListView control so we can implement an edit in place feature.
The edit in place feature simply listens for an event when you click on a rows subitem and if its the cell you want to edit, it will move and resize a textbox over the cell and pull the value.
An event (endediting) is fired when the control looses focus or a certain key is pressed. We use this event do what we want with the value typed in.
This seems to work fine unless you stick in something that causes the listview to loose focus whilst within this event. I am attempting to parse the value typed in and if its invalid, I am throwing an error (messagebox) to notifiy the user and setting the cancel flag (e.Cancel.)
If I use the mouse to click the OK button within the MessageBox, when it disappears an Rubberband appears on my cursor and remains inside the listview. The only way to remove this is to either click the mouse, alt+tab to cause the form to invalidate or press escape.
If I use the enter or escape key to clear the MessageBox, the above doesn't happen and the listview regains focus.
I'm now at a loss, I have no idea where to turn  I have tried invalidating the form, the listview etc, i've tried forcing the focus of all of the controls within the same form and i've even tried sending the escape key to the app using sendkeys.
Has anyone got any idea's why? I'd appreciate your input!
Regards

Well i've resolved it.
By setting the following properties, it no longer causes the undesired effect.
FullRowSelect = true;
HeaderStyle = NonClickable;
HideSelection = false;
MultiSelect = false;

Hi
I am using Visual Studio 2005 and C# to develop a Windows application.
When the columns in a DataGridView are ordered, it seems as if only the DisplayIndex changes. Is there a way to also change the actual ColumnIndex in the DataGridView (as well as the columns in the DataTable that is bound to the DataGridView) when ordering the columns in the DataGridView?
The reason I want to do this is because the DataTable is sent to another Form as well where it is bound to another DataGridView. Here I would like the column order to reflect the way it was changed on the first form.
Thanks.
Kobus

only thing that I can suggest is to sort the datatable whenever the user sorts grid column. But I am least confident that I will work.

If you mean Call Stack thn go to Debug->Windows->Call Stack in the Menu Options.
Please remember to rate helpful or unhelpful answers, it lets us and people reading the forums know if our answers are any good.

Hello
On a serial port data received event I am updating the form controls using delagates by 'invoke'. it is ok there.
On data completion from serial port I created a custom event to mark the data completion and to start processing the data.
Here (on this custom event handler method) I have updated a form text property and it is working ok- no delegates.
is it ok or safe? Should we use delegate and 'invoke' here also for safety. Is there any cross threading issues here? Visual studio gave no comment!
Thanks
With Regards
Roy Thomas

Hello,
Also for data completion you must use thread safe method. Use Invoke method.
Are you on .net 1.1 ?
|
|

Thanks for the reply.
I created a invoke method.(Other case also working OK in test now.)
Using VS2008 .net version 3.5 I think..
Thanks a lot for the confirmation.

Theres a couple of considerations here. First you should usually get out of your data recieved event as quick as possible. Secondly, you need to marshal stuff onto the UI thread safely.
If its just doing something simple (like updating a label), then use BeginInvoke to update on the UI thread (plain Invoke will block whatever called your event handler).
Otherwise (say theres lots of processing / logging to a database) it may be worth sticking the data in a queue, and emptying the queue on another thread.

It is done. I am only updating a my own string buffer in the data received event of serial port. So no lags.
but..
Mark Churchill wrote: you need to marshal stuff onto the UI thread safely.
Actually after consecutively dumping the data in a buffer on every data received event I reset a timer count to detect a pause in stream to mark the end of a packet. When the packet stops I create or 'throw' a user event from the timer tick event handler method. Is there any inherent problem in this method?
from my custom event handling function I am using invoke method to update a few labels.
I have some more tasks in my datacomplete custome event like updating a data grid and loading into a buffer etc. Not huge database. I am moving into that only.
Mark Churchill wrote: then use BeginInvoke to update on the UI thread
need to study that method.
Thanks a lot..

Keep in mind that raising an event isn't generally asynchronous. So it doesnt really "throw", it just calls and returns like any other method (unless you use delegate.begininvoke - which grabs a thread from the pool).
Also using BeginInvoke (control/form.begininvoke) on the UI thread sticks a token for the delegate in the windows message loop. If the message loop isn't pumping for some reason (say its been blocked) then they can queue up. This probably won't happen with serial data rates, but its something to keep in mind if you are updating the UI on a push based model, or if you are doing some complex graphics.

m..  new information for me..
reading articles...
will be back later.
trying to grasp concepts. I am coming from a sequential programming experience with micro controllers. Beginner on windows programming.
Thank you.

Trust me, the micro experience is probably good for you  Having more of an understanding of what is happening at the hardware level will let you make better use of the tools. Theres too many beginning programmers that think some sort of magic is happening under the hood, and that things do exactly what the API implies. Theres no magic! .Net hides a lot of the more nasty implementation details from you, but it also makes it very easy to try and do the impossible.
