Hi SA,

I've actually solved this problem now. The problem was down to the Default Namespace being incorrectly set in the properties of the .csproj file. Once I set this this and added my resx files, I right clicked on the resx and selected "Run Custom Tool". When I rebuilt my solution the compiler generated a .dll for each resource and placed it into a folder corresponding to the appropriate culture. I assume these are the satellite assemblies you mentioned.

I think I was stuck because I didn't realize if you correctly place your resx into the properties folder of your project and run the custom tool it's actually automating the process of manually using RESGEN then AL.EXE to build the resource file and compile this into the binary satellite assemblies for each culture (or lanaguage to use my previous terminology).

HI SA,

As always, thanks for your answer - my 5.

In this situation however I have already have the pre-populated ".resx" files. These files contain only strings, translating labels into different languages. I have 4 of these files and rather than re-adding all these entries, I want the static resource class to be automatically generated including the resource entries from all the files (I had to remove the previous version as it was in the wrong namespace).

Using a tool such as RESGEN, I want to pass in all of the 4 files as arguments and the strongly typed class that is generated therefore should include the translations from all 4 resx files.

Sorry perhaps I didn't explain it well enough. Your answer is very useful for the future by the way.

I think so. I think I'll have to make a ScreenCast to show what I mean.

Cheers,

Hi SA,

I mean the app has not been suspended, it is not in snapped view or any other visual state, but another app is in focus.

The user is able to re-open that app by opening what I assume is the metro equivalent of the task bar, which is accessed in the top left hot corner.

Many thanks, Larry.

Laurence1234 23-Jul-13 11:50am View

Yes, this was wrapped in the Style element as I was setting it in my standardstyle.xaml.

Laurence1234 23-Jul-13 10:50am View

This looks like a good start. Thanks Yvan.

Laurence1234 23-Jul-13 10:49am View

Interesting. But in the MSDN article it is not a direct descendant as far as I can see.

Laurence1234 23-May-13 5:34am View

Hi SA,

Thanks for your input. I will check it out. My 5.

In response to your other question, yes, you're correct I mean sector in this case.

Cheers,

Larry

Laurence1234 15-Aug-11 4:56am View

Hi,

Thanks for the response. I will indeed, if I ever figure it out, post it up. For now I'll take a look at this link.

Cheers

Laurence1234 10-Aug-11 10:03am View

ok, I can now pause the animation, but it pauses at whatever opacity it has got to rather then returning to 100% instantly then resuming the fade out once the mouse leaves.

Laurence1234 15-Jul-11 10:55am View

This is the article I had found :

Laurence1234 15-Jul-11 10:35am View

Yeah, I re-read the article I thought had suggested that. I had got the wrong end of the stick :p

I have tried your approach above, the program opened however it didn't didn't load the file...

Laurence1234 15-Jul-11 10:00am View

I realise the formatting is horrible. It was correct when I wrote it, then when I uploaded it it went like this. I can't seem to edit it back for some reason.

Laurence1234 30-Jun-11 11:18am View

Interesting. Thanks for your input.
As I do specify the ordering after the data is retrieved though, surely my question regarding the First function is still valid.

Laurence1234 30-Jun-11 9:48am View

Good solution, thanks.

It is what I actually used to get round this problem in the end, however I do order the data by the customers number each time, so even if the Database gave the list in a different order, it's processing the same list every time.

Laurence1234 1-Jun-11 21:37pm View

Anyone want to justify that vote of "1"? I'm always willing to learn and be proved wrong and I think I made a relevant point here.

Cheers

Laurence

Laurence1234 1-Jun-11 21:36pm View

Thanks man.
Yeah, you're right at this point we don't quite know what the OP really needs to do.

Laurence1234 1-Jun-11 12:24pm View

For uploading and storing images into an SQL DB couldn't you just store a byte array then convert it back to a bitmap when you query the database?
That's how I'd do it anyway.

Laurence1234 11-May-11 5:06am View

Ah ok, I will give that a go, thanks.

I still have this weird issue though that depends on the main window being minimised.

Laurence

Laurence1234 10-May-11 11:38am View

Hmmmm, even in release mode the debugger will kick in and show the exception it seems ...

Laurence1234 10-May-11 11:35am View

Ok thanks, I'll give it a go.

Do you mean running it in Release mode?

Also I still have the problem that if it looses focus then when the error is thrown (no matter how we get it to do that) the text box doesn't stop you interacting with the main window. But if you keep it open it behaves correctly.

Cheers

Laurence

Laurence1234 10-May-11 9:24am View

Hi Oliver,

I did think that and tried it out, but when I took out the try/catch the program failed completely and stepped into the exception as the exception wasn't handled.

Thanks for your help

Laurence

Laurence1234 10-May-11 7:28am View

Ok - Update on the issue.

It looks like this has only partially solved the problem. Now I have a really weird situation.

When the application is in focus if there is an error, the error box appears and stops you interacting with the main window until it's closed. That is fine.

However, if the application is minimised or not in focus, the error box is created as a separate window on the task bar. And, once again you can interact with the main window before clicking 'OK' to acknowledge the error.

This is a very confusing problem.

Hi,

Thanks for your input. I have found a solution which I will post later.

Hi,

Thanks for your input. I have found a solution which I will post later.

That second link by the way is really good, I might use that solution in the future.

Laurence

Laurence1234 9-May-11 11:45am View

Hi,

Thanks for the link, in the end I tried:

Dispatcher.CurrentDispatcher.BeginInvoke((Action)(() =>
{
//all the code here will be executed in the main thread
MessageBox.Show
(
ex.InnerException == null ? ex.Message.ToString() : ex.InnerException.ToString(),
"Error",
MessageBoxButton.OK, MessageBoxImage.Error

);

}));

However this didn't seem to work either ...

Laurence

Laurence1234 9-May-11 8:45am View

Hi Olivier,

Thanks for your answer.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like I have access to BeginInvoke()

The MainWindow.xaml.cs partial class doesn't seem to expose this method so I have no way of threading it through into my ViewModel.

The reason may be that this is a WPF project. If I create a System.Windows.Forms.TextBox as an example, this allows me to call BeginInvoke() however, it doesn't look like the controls that I'm using or the Code Behind/partial class (whatever you like to call it) allow me to do this.

My 5 though, I'm willing to be proved wrong on this one.

Cheers

Laurence

Laurence1234 23-Feb-11 8:09am View

Hmm, that's odd. Could you post your code please?

Laurence1234 20-Feb-11 16:17pm View

I see. Thanks for the feedback SA and Marcus.

Laurence

Laurence1234 16-Feb-11 15:41pm View

Thanks for the vote SA.

Laurence

Laurence1234 16-Feb-11 11:52am View

Yes, I think so. It seems most relevant. Is there a special way to do this?

If not, OP I recommend this answer.

Laurence

Laurence1234 16-Feb-11 11:45am View

Ah yeah, the kiosk link is what I was thinking in terms of the only application for that (see my comment to Answer 1). -5

Laurence

Laurence1234 16-Feb-11 10:52am View

I'm afraid that I don't know, nor would I like to comment as the only applications for that I can think of may be malicious.

Laurence1234 16-Feb-11 10:17am View

The only application I can think of where you might want to do this would be on an embedded system such as WindowsPosReady, where you do not want the operator to be able to use any program other then the embedded application. However, as you point out, if an application created a system wide model on my personal computer I would remove it immediately. I think it is possible to disable low level keyboard hooks in C# such as alt-tab, but I wouldn't have any use for this and I don't think it's easy to do.

Laurence1234 15-Feb-11 7:21am View

Sorry my suggestion didn't work.
I think that could be a good idea to try, and as you say may reduce your resource usage.
You may want to try some comparisons between your original image and the resultant image. I'm not entirely sure what metric is best to use, as something like Mean Squared Error will only give you a measure of disparity, but it could help you to track down where the image is being altered.

Perhaps write a brief function that will compare your images and after each operation you perform that produces a comparable specimen, call your metric.

Cheers

Laurence.

Laurence1234 10-Feb-11 14:16pm View

No problem! Thanks for the detailed explanation. I've definitely learnt something today :D

Laurence1234 10-Feb-11 11:29am View

Hey man,
No problem :D Just so happens I was working on some reflection the other day, so it's still fresh.

I see what you've done there; you're looking for a certain method, that starts with "set" and creating a new method name, which you then invoke.

How will you know that method will be there?

Also, what is the variable 'rhs' ?

If you could describe what you're doing there that would be great.

Thanks

Laurence

Laurence1234 10-Feb-11 10:52am View

No Problem :) If the answer leads to a solution please vote for my answer.

I see your problem now, while it is possible to get a specific method by calling:

myType.GetMethod(methodStringName);

I can see why you would want to avoid that.

As you stated in your comment in the above post you are having trouble returning the accessors. The List of properties should return this information for you.

Also, when you say "which method to call" are you intending on invoking that method once you find it? If so, that is possible using the Invoke method inside the MethodInfo class.

Cheers

Laurence1234 10-Feb-11 10:09am View

Hi,

If you have a look at my solution below, I think I can help to solve that problem and return the list of properties.

Thanks

Laurence

Laurence1234 10-Feb-11 8:48am View

Thanks, no problem :)
If you're interested the website I recommended has got a nice tutorial on achieving the some of the same results just in XAML, such as the bindings. Which I think is more elegant to split that out from the code behind.

Apologies if I've caused offence, that was not my intention.
The voting system as far as I understand it, is to gauge the suitability of an answer and it's relevance to the original question. Voting on an article is an arbitrary qualitative measure, from the perspective of another user. While I am grateful for any input from the Code Project community, I'm sure that nobody has any sense of self-worth tied into the votes that they receive. Therefore, whilst I will reiterate my gratitude for any input I will vote for the quality of the answer honestly.
In my opinion your comments were unnecessary and highly inappropriate. Let's please get a sense of perceptive.

Laurence1234 1-Feb-11 10:22am View

Hi,
After trying out some of these solutions I have to say the second link wasn't really suitable. The post was fairly outdated and suggested using a tool which requires a deprecated version of the .NET framework.
Also the first link discuses documentation in relation to VB.NET whereas I was interested in C#.
Sorry.

Laurence1234 1-Feb-11 5:50am View

Thanks, SandCastle looks like the best bet.
I'll have to write some XSLT afterwards but that should be fine.

Laurence1234 27-Jan-11 8:00am View

Can anyone give a more formal proof of the time complexity?

Laurence1234 20-Jan-11 14:07pm View

A compiler would be of suitable scope for an MSc project, however I suggest creating your own language.

Laurence1234 20-Dec-10 9:27am View

Do you mean you want your value to be continuously increased once the button is pressed, every 500ms or just once with single pause of 500ms?

Laurence1234 17-Dec-10 9:04am View

Ah thanks, I'l have a look.

Laurence1234 17-Dec-10 4:48am View

If a window is deselected or has lost focus? That's interesting, do you have any links?
Thanks

Laurence1234 15-Dec-10 5:17am View

Cool. Remembering the reference in the XAML file is sometimes a tricky one. I often get the namespaces mixed up in a larger project.

Laurence1234 8-Dec-10 4:32am View

So for a problem with more then one solution, both DFS and BFS will produce the same answer, but for subsequent configurations will produce different answers altogether. From those different solutions they will be a sub-set of all available solutions, but distinct to that method. So for instance DFS produces 6 then BFS produces 5, then each sharing an additional solution?

Laurence1234 7-Dec-10 11:07am View

Thanks, it does rely on finding an open source implementation of the DCT algorithm that will compute the Fast Fourier Transform in feasible time, however this does of course depend on the size of both samples.

Similarly the comparison could potentially be very costly, as for each interval you would have to place your smaller sample as a template to find a match for that pattern, however I'm sure there are more efficient ways of doing that.

Laurence1234 19-Nov-10 19:24pm View

Hi sivakumarmr10,

As I mentioned in another post a WrapPanel may be better suited to your needs, however without a example code snippet it's difficult to deduce what the problem is.

Hope this helps.

Laurence1234 16-Nov-10 7:51am View

Thanks :)

Laurence1234 16-Nov-10 7:23am View

Apologies Pete,

I think I've fixed the problem. I have no idea why it appeared blank. Before I post I keep a copy of what I've written in case anything goes wrong. I just pasted it back in and it seems to display fine this time round.

Cheers

Laurence1234 8-Nov-10 14:01pm View

EngleA - Sorry I don't really have much idea on that I'm afraid.

Chris - Ah I see. Sorry for the incorrect post. I think the confusion has arisen for me as I have had exceptions thrown before relating to Threads and have fixed it using Delegates. Could you give an example do you think? Also I'm not sure I follow your last sentence, as if you tried to pass the wrong parameters to a method, it would not compile.

Laurence1234 8-Nov-10 10:33am View

Hi Jim and Jerem,
Thanks for your feedback Jerem, Jim is right though I'm afraid as I'm already converting my List into an Array of Types.

Type[] myArray [gives the same data structure as] myList.ToArray< Type >()
