The file that I tested it on was 16MB. Now I was VPN so it was going through that. I set the timeout for 60 seconds, so it was taking longer than 60 seconds for that command.

here is a code snip i am using but when i save a jpg with this code it is 24 bit grayscale

saveJpeg(file1,img,8);

private void saveJpeg(string path, Bitmap img, long quality)
{
// Encoder parameter for image quality
EncoderParameter qualityParam = new EncoderParameter(System.Drawing.Imaging.Encoder.Quality, quality);

// Jpeg image codec
ImageCodecInfo jpegCodec = this.getEncoderInfo("image/jpeg");

if (jpegCodec == null)
return;

EncoderParameters encoderParams = new EncoderParameters(1);
encoderParams.Param[0] = qualityParam;

img.Save(path, jpegCodec, encoderParams);
}

private ImageCodecInfo getEncoderInfo(string mimeType)
{
// Get image codecs for all image formats
ImageCodecInfo[] codecs = ImageCodecInfo.GetImageEncoders();

// Find the correct image codec
for (int i = 0; i < codecs.Length; i++)
if (codecs[i].MimeType == mimeType)
return codecs[i];
return null;
}

Thanks,

Lol I think this piece of code is funny:

// Find the correct image codec
for (int i = 0; i < codecs.Length; i++)
  if (codecs[i].MimeType == mimeType)
    return codecs[i];
  return null;
}

You can better rewrite it like this:

if(codecs.Length >= 1)
{
  if(codecs[0].MimeType == mimeType)
    return codecs[0];
  return null;
}

But what is your question exactly?

First of all, this is the C# forum, for ASP.NET questions, we have an ASP.NET forum, try your question there.
Second: if you have a question, you should use the question mark to show which sentence is your question. That would be a lot easier.

How can I make browser not to display its page content for 1 or 2 sec using c#?

Hi
I had a BHO through which I had to convert the web page content from English to other language (say Hindi). I am able to retrieve the web page content and replace it with other language text, but the problem is the original text visible to user for a fraction of second (which is < 1sec), I want the converted page should be directly visible to user. For this what can I do?

I had trying for this since longtime?
If there are any advises, please post it here, thanks...

Handling File Events in C#

Hello. I am new to C# (used Java originally), and I was wondering what would be the best way to handle file events in a console application. Specifically, I need to monitor a bunch of directories to see if new files are being added, and then do something with them if so. I guess I'm confused because I need to thread the watchers, but am unsure how/where to handle their corresponding events. I have been looking around for resources but am coming up on threading samples and event samples but not any combination of the two and so I don't know exactly where to start. If anybody has a suggestion or resource, I would greatly appreciate it!!

Thank you, that helped clarify some of the event concepts for me.

I guess I'm wondering now whether the filesystemwatcher acts as a thread... meaning does it listen indefinitely while the main program works until it hears something? Or does it have to be wrapped in a thread to do so?

I believe it works on its own thread, then invokes the events to the UI thread. If your GUI is going to stay responsive, you don't have to worry about threading at all. Just create it, set the needed properties (Path, NotifyFilter, Filter), turn on EnableRaisingEvents, hook the events you want, and handle them as needed. If I remember right, this is a port from the old VBScript library, so it's intended to be as easy to use as possible.

To make sure it works that way, you might want to just be sure that you're CREATING it on the UI thread. If you don't, it might invoke events to a different thread unless you set the SynchronizingObject property to a GUI control. You can also use that same property to invoke the events onto a thread of your choosing.

If you want finer control, you can skip the events entirely, create it on a dedicated background thread, and loop on the WaitForChanged method, which will block until it receives a notification. Most of the time, this is overkill.

There's more detail on each of those properties and methods in the MSDN help.

EDIT: Sorry, missed where you said it was a console application. In that case, you probably want to go with the last method I mentioned, looping on WaitForChanged to do everything synchronously.

No offence intended, its just that often if you just give someone a hint they can't be bothered to follow it up, they expect complete code samples. I'm pleased it helped, I generally only give an idea of the answer, as by finding out for yourself you learn. Obviously in your case it applied Smile | :)

C# library for visual network layout / flow chart needed

Hi all!

I have a small project where I need to create a visual family tree editor. Before I start reinventing the wheel, I would like to know if there are any free or open source C# library which lets me do the following:

-add, select and remove elements (simple boxes with title is enough) with mouse and context menu
-connect and disconnect elements with mouse.

If I have this, I 'll be able to do the rest myself (attaching some data structure to the visual tree and storing the tree to a database).

Thanks for any ideas.

adapting a webcam driver to an existing form

hi
i'm new at c# and i'm using visual studio c# 2008
i have a very large application which needs to take pictures from a webcam to work with them
i found this code (among many other which i haven't been able to get to work) http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/yougerthen/810262008070218AM/8.aspx[^]

notice there, in the extra code the author asks to add for the thing to work, it has already a initializeComponent() since its a form of sorts. BUT notice too that MY application is also a form and pretty much larger, so of course it has its own initializeComponent() with near 150 other componets; the webcam stuff must be in one of the tabs initialized there.

If i let the initializeComponent() be, the compiler says it does not exist in the actual context. i deleted the constructor altogether but then obviously not even the pictureBox appears. but then if i leave the constructor there, but remove the initializeComponent()... what should it had inside instead? the picture box and buttons are already taken care of in the bigger initializeComponent().

so how can i merge this code into mine so i can use the webcam features in there?
any ideas?

i can't download the code from your link. it has a problem. but here is some links which can help you:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/directx/PrgmngDirectShowappsCS.aspx[^]

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/directx/directshownet.aspx[^]

and the best resource for you is here :
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=136334[^]

if you want to import codes from other projects to your project you shouldn't use their InitializeComponent() function. just add the necessary initialization codes after your InitializeComponent() function. like this :

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    // add initialization codes here
    // ...
}

sometimes 0 can be 1

"zip" is a string, not a char.

Secondly use '.'.
