Oops, you are right. I'll edit it :-)

Wow, that comment was from 2010 :-)

No problem.

I just verified that it works as expected in Windows 7 64 bit using VC++ 2010.

Nish Nishant 14-Aug-12 13:36pm View

--- It's called a loop.

Come now, Richard. Poor comment given the OP's requirement.

Nish Nishant 14-Aug-12 9:01am View

No problem, you are welcome.

Nish Nishant 13-Aug-12 16:18pm View

Hey SA, he means a form (Winforms project). And as far as I can tell, I've told him what he needed below.

Nish Nishant 13-Aug-12 16:17pm View

Baskaran, your question has been answered, right?

Nish Nishant 13-Aug-12 13:55pm View

No problem.

Nish Nishant 13-Aug-12 13:49pm View

I guess it should be the same approach. Your 2 top-level forms should both be marked as mdi forms. That allows them to contain child forms.

Nish Nishant 18-Nov-11 14:11pm View

VS 2010 has a drop down to set this. Can also be done from the properties dialog.

Nish Nishant 18-Nov-11 12:47pm View

Compile the app explicitly as 32 bit (or 64 bit as the case might be) to match the targe OS.

Nish Nishant 18-Nov-11 11:21am View

You are releasing a debug-mode binary. You need to make a release-mode build and then distribute those files (/bin/release). The debug mode binaries are only meant for dev/debug/test work.

Nish Nishant 18-Nov-11 11:10am View

That's possible. I'd not have installed a dev preview on a regular dev machine (I usually use a VM for that).

Nish Nishant 18-Nov-11 11:07am View

Ok, good luck then. It may be a corrupt installation.

Nish Nishant 17-Nov-11 19:01pm View

I agree. Based on the curent version of the question, whether data is not found or whether data exists, he wants to show an error message box. So he might as well skip the DB query and just show a messagebox.

Nish Nishant 17-Nov-11 15:49pm View

Use a free email client, set it up to use your mail server, and try to send a few emails out. This will tell you if the problem is with your mail server/config.

Nish Nishant 17-Nov-11 13:46pm View

Good detailed response. My 5.

Needs a bit of formatting though.

Nish Nishant 17-Nov-11 11:45am View

Since that's a new question/topic, I'd suggest that you start a new thread for that. Keeping track of opened files in your application.

Nish Nishant 17-Nov-11 10:54am View

Yes it can handle non-empty folders. The call will fail if a file is in use (same as when you delete from Explorer)

Nish Nishant 17-Nov-11 10:51am View

The form that contains the PictureBox control. I don't have any sample code right now.

Nish Nishant 17-Nov-11 10:37am View

Good answer. My 5!

Nish Nishant 16-Nov-11 14:28pm View

Thanks SA!

Nish Nishant 15-Nov-11 18:17pm View

SA, he says he is using Winforms.

Nish Nishant 10-Nov-11 10:34am View

LOL :-)

Nish Nishant 6-Nov-11 16:52pm View

I reckon he's already Googled and thinks that we can't give him any Google search keywords that he has not already tried.

Nish Nishant 3-Nov-11 7:48am View

You'll need to step through the code that fires the events and see what's causing it to not fire.

Nish Nishant 3-Nov-11 7:47am View

Wow, sweet!

Nish Nishant 2-Nov-11 16:37pm View

If the event is not firing when it should, it may be because you are using the component incorrectly or perhaps even a bug in the library. Either way you should probably ask the guys who wrote/sold this component. They'd know best how to resolve this.

Nish Nishant 2-Nov-11 16:25pm View

You're welcome.

Nish Nishant 2-Nov-11 12:07pm View

Put a breakpoint and trace through the code.

Nish Nishant 2-Nov-11 12:04pm View

No, the HTTP headers.

Nish Nishant 2-Nov-11 12:02pm View

As an examaple, if computer-A is called MachineA and the user is say John, then on computer-B, you would need to add MachineA\John as an allowed user and set rights accordingly.

Nish Nishant 2-Nov-11 12:02pm View

Add the user from computer-A as an user on computer-B. How you do this depends on the OS you are on.

Nish Nishant 1-Nov-11 9:39am View

You're welcome.

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 16:01pm View

No, it will not. Since those are not HWND-controls. The OP must have been mistaken.

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 15:51pm View

Voted 5. Good alternate technique (Ctrl-A/C).

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 15:41pm View

Thank you, Espen!

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 15:33pm View

Voted 5 as well. We posted at the same time I guess.

Yeah, MSDN is not easy to search huh? :-)

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 15:32pm View

Interesting link - had not heard of that before. Voted 5!

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 15:31pm View

Thanks.

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 15:11pm View

There is no portable approach to these things, since C++ is agnostic of the file system (mostly).

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 14:58pm View

Check my updated answer.

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 14:52pm View

It's an out param, so null is fine here.

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 14:51pm View

Verify that you are passing in the right HWND.

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 13:56pm View

Interesting!

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 13:53pm View

You are welcome. Hopefully you got something out of this discussion. I was a little disappointed that I could not help you pinpoint your exact error. Oh well.

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 13:51pm View

Try opening the log file in a different editor. It may just be a case of Notepad misinterpreting the text as Unicode.

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 13:50pm View

And since it's a u_long, that'd be 0xffffffff which is 4,294,967,295 (maximum value). So 6-9 digits seem okay to me.

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 13:48pm View

Based on the TCP header from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Protocol, 32 bits.

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 13:44pm View

Good alternatives. My vote of 5.

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 13:44pm View

I would consider source code to be a "tool" of sorts too when I refer to it as 3rd party, but you may be right SA :-)

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 13:43pm View

Yes but my point was that the u_long returned may be corresponding to some arbitrary Unicode character and thus the text file interprets it incorrectly as a character (when it is not).

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 13:38pm View

It is possible that tcp_header->seq_number is returning an invalid value. And thus ntohl will return some random value too.

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 13:34pm View

I meant your response was certainly valid. The OP was quite vague in his description.

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 13:32pm View

Yes it certainly was. I am just better than most people at figuring out what people are trying to say :-)

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 13:19pm View

Thanks SA!

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 13:15pm View

The get-method in the property.

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 13:11pm View

Edited your question so it's easier to understand.

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 12:48pm View

Unlikely that you can do all of it in C#. You'd need to write a low-level keyboard driver in C. You could then manage that driver from C#.

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 12:33pm View

I approve and endorse this reply! :-)

Nish Nishant 31-Oct-11 11:58am View

Or just edit your OP.

Comment to OP : You have thanked everyione for their input, but sadly you have not considered following any of the advice. You absolutely need to get a good C++ book and learn some fundamentals before you write any more code. [this is in response to your latest answer which a mod may delete soon]

Nish Nishant 29-Oct-11 10:09am View

Nish Nishant 28-Oct-11 20:10pm View

What I meant is that it's better to rely on data binding here. Because here I've made several assumptions about the Xaml. If you ever change the Xaml in future that code will break. But if you bind to a proeprty then it will continue to work.

Nish Nishant 28-Oct-11 19:20pm View

No problem. I should have seen it as an obvious typo, so I need some coffee too I guess :-)

Nish Nishant 28-Oct-11 19:16pm View

I assume it was a typo for WebForms. If so, ignore my previous comment.

Nish Nishant 28-Oct-11 19:15pm View

Ok you have tagged the question as ASP.NET. Now you state that it's WinForms.

Nish Nishant 27-Oct-11 12:31pm View

gcc supports it too. But do check the docs for compatibility:

Not sure I understand this. If you let the user pick a folder, surely you know the full path for it (including the drive).

Ok, I am really confused here. That page I linked to clearly shows the function signature as int CALLBACK WinMain( __in HINSTANCE hInstance, __in HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, __in LPSTR lpCmdLine, __in int nCmdShow); but you are using a different signature. Surely you get what I mean here!

Just a dummy function I used in the example. You can declare these globally too, no need to make them locals if you prefer them to be globals.

Nish Nishant 28-Apr-11 15:56pm View

Manfred has updated the code to make it more obvious.

Nish Nishant 28-Apr-11 15:55pm View

The int z was just an example. You would need to define members based on your scenario.

Nish Nishant 28-Apr-11 15:54pm View
