Hi Stanciu. Thanks for your answer.
What you describe is very similar to what I do. I actually have class called TransactionContext 
But... I have problems with the following:
Stanciu Vlad wrote: In the transaction context the user can do whatever he likes with the objects, because when he commits the transaction, the whole transaction context (meaning the changed objects) replaces the system workspace.
Yes, but that requires registering the reads/writes somehow, and I don't know how to do that without tracking the objects. I do have write logs and read logs where I will register such accesses, but I don't know how to detect the accesses without somehow extending the code of the object's class to make the object notify them when they happen.
Actually, ideally what I'd like is to be able to write a monitoring agent that sees the bytecode that is running and registers every read/write, but I don't know how to do this in C#. I do know how to write the agent, but I don't know how to "plug it in" so that it can see the running bytecode. If you know how to do this it would pretty much solve all my problems, and I like it way better than what I'm doing right now -- which by the way doesn't work 
Apart from that, my locking policy is slightly different, etc, but it would work if I can detect and register accesses correctly.
Thanks again for your answer

You problem seemed like a challenge for me , so, in the weekend, having some spare time in front of the computer, I've created a basic transactional system. It is basic because it can't use communicate with other processes, it only works inside the same application domain (manages multiple threads), but in my opinion it can be extended.
Do you want the source code? (maybe this will provide more answers for you).
I have no smart signature yet...

i have a system paramters table in my sql server to control everything about the system and I am currentlly saving all parameters as public variables in my C# windows form applicaton upon user login to the system..
I was just thinking if that's the best practice to do or I should save all in a local INI or XML file upon the user login the replace the file everytime the user login again?
what's your recommandation?

It all depends on your security requirement. Having an ini or xml file to store said data would render it available for tampering at will whilst variables make it quite difficult for your normal users.

what if i encrypt it in the local file or make it in a binary file for example?
|
|
|
|

Encrypting would still leave it open for tampering, whether malicious or not.
If the string "XLJKHSD7FR6W2345HLKSDFHO978W642O5KJH3RFO987Y" was the Base64 equivalent of some password, then if I change an alphanumeric character I have rendered the whole thing useless. Don't forget, INI and XML files are clear text. I would be against having clear text files that contain such crucial information.
A binary file would hamper any tampering effects, but that doesn't mean that the file could be deleted, again by mistake or on purpose.

Won't help against a hacker, he has the program and therefore either the key or the code that retrieves/calculates the key (and, therefore, the key). The only way to make it impossible for a hacker to get the key, would be to give the program no knowledge about the key or how to get it, but then you're stuck with an encrypted file which you can not decrypt.
There are many ways to make it "harder" for normal users to mess around too much, of course.
Making it a binary file would help, putting it through a DeflateStream would help too, xoring every byte with some funny number (say 0x34) would also help - but only against normal users.
They could, of course, randomly mess the file up..

I prefer to access the database each time a parameter value is required.
For one thing, it allows changing the configuration without restarting the application.
I use a class that offers properties that access the parameter database.

Hi there
I need print something with variable number of copies.
I used printdocument component.
private void Print_b_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
printDocument1.PrinterSettings.Copies = 2;
printDocument1.Print();
}
private void printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
e.PageSettings.PrinterSettings.Copies = 2;
e.Graphics.DrawString("Test Print", new Font("Tahoma", 14, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold), Brushes.Black, 50, 50);
}
I used PrinterSettings.Copies = 2; in both block but does't work.
If you know why? tell me please.
Best Regards,
Reza Shojaee

Hello guys,
I'm reading from a database using this called below:
private void GetAllMembers()
{
string query = @"SELECT * FROM [member_details] INNER JOIN club_details ON club_details.memberno = member_details.memberno WHERE [date_added] BETWEEN '" + date_from.SelectedValue.ToString() + "' AND '" + date_to.SelectedValue.ToString() + "'AND primsecconttype = '" + memb_type.SelectedValue.ToString() + "' AND [contracttype] = '" + class_type.SelectedValue.ToString() + "'";
try
{
conn.Close();
cmd = conn.CreateCommand();
cmd.CommandText = query;
conn.Open();
reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
memb_names.Items.Clear();
while (reader.Read())
{
string firstnames = (string)reader["firstname"];
memb_names.Items.Add(firstnames);
}
if (!reader.Read())
{
error.Visible = true;
error.Text = "Sorry no mambers found in this range..";
}
}
catch (SqlException fff)
{
error.Visible = true;
error.Text = "Error occured: " + fff.Message;
}
}
The issue is that, when I read from a database and no record
is returned I would like to let the user know. it works when
I use an if() else statement but this will only return one
record if by chance the query returns something. A while loop
returns all the records, but I AM FAILING to find a way I can
let the user know if the query returns nothing after using a while loop.
Any help please on how I can let the user know if a while loop returns
nothing???
Thanks,
Mo

OK. First of all, look up parameterized queries, if you can't use stored procedures.
Second, I fail to realize what your problem is. Your while loop adds items to your collection, why not check the length of the collection after the while loop has run?
If it's 0 - obviously no records were returned.
And third: close your connection. Maybe add a finally statement to your try-catch?

Thanks man, you have made sound so simple.
I will try that

Hi.
i face a problem, record not update and no error show please check my coding and tell me where i do mistake
my coding is
private void dataGridView1_CellValueChanged(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connString);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
conn.Open();
cmd.CommandText = "update contract set suppliername='" + dataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells[1] + "',buyername='" + dataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells[2] + "',contract_dt='" + dataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells[3] + "',delivery='" + dataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells[4] + "',pmode='" + dataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells[5] + "',comm='" + dataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells[6] + "',commper='" + dataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells[7] + "' where contractid='" + dataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells[0] + "'";
cmd.Connection = conn;
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
MessageBox.Show("Record Update..");
conn.Close();
}

If you are not sure what is going on, then enclose that code in a try...catch block and use
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString()); to find out.
It may be that you have a try...catch block outside this method which is catching and discarding the error.
On a related note: change this to use parameterized queries, you are leaving yourself wide open to a SQL Injection attack. (Google for "Bobby Tables" to find out what that is)
P.S. When you give code fragments, always enclose them in <pre> </pre> blocks with the "code block" widget to preserve the formatting.

The values you try to add to your ugly dynamic SQL are of type DataGridViewCell
So first of all, use dataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells[x].Value to extract the values and as OriginalGriff already said, use parameterized queries.
It's easier, more readable, more efficient and NOT UGLY.

hi i just want to display all empty fieldnames that are not filled up by the user
but my code has this errorer ' use of unassigned local variable 'messEmptyField' ; how can i fix this
<br />
private void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
string[] FieldName = { "Lastname", "Firstname", "Address", "Model", "Trouble Reported" };<br />
string messEmptyField;<br />
int i = 0;<br />
<br />
foreach (Control ctrl in groupBox1.Controls)<br />
{<br />
TextBox txt = ctrl as TextBox;<br />
<br />
if (txt.Text == string.Empty)<br />
{<br />
messEmptyField += FieldName[i];
}<br />
i++;<br />
}<br />
<br />
MessageBox.Show(messEmptyField + "please filled up all");<br />
dtDateLog.Focus();<br />
return;<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

This line:
string messEmptyField;
should probably be:
string messEmptyField = string.Empty;
|
|
|
|
|
hi
try this
string messEmptyField="";
|
|
|

Using string.Empty is the good practice.

You can try the following:
string messEmptyField = "";
--the choice is all yours!-- 
|
|
|
|

You can use String.Empty as the others say, or better still use StringBuilder:
private void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string[] FieldName = { "Lastname", "Firstname", "Address", "Model", "Trouble Reported" };
StringBuilder messEmptyField = new StringBuilder();
int i = 0;
foreach (Control ctrl in groupBox1.Controls)
{
TextBox txt = ctrl as TextBox;
if (txt.Text == string.Empty)
{
messEmptyField.Append(FieldName[i]);
}
i++;
}
MessageBox.Show(messEmptyField.ToString() + "please filled up all");
dtDateLog.Focus();
return;
}
