Either way, the point of this post was to conduct a survey on the C# language.

Yep, I'm not in the wrong forum (I hope). I have a C DLL that exports a few global variables (integers, if that matters) - I'd like to access these values using a C# library. I tried to google, but I couldn't find satisfactory answers.
I've been able to access these variables creating a C++/CLI wrapper around the library, but I'm looking for a C# solution to avoid mantaining an extra project just for these integers. Any pointers?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
AFAIK you can't just access unmanaged data, so the easiest thing to do would be to add
getter and setter functions to the C DLL, then use P/Invoke to call them from C#.

Well, I can't recompile the library since its licensing terms prohibit modifications, so I'll keep the C++ wrapper.
Thanks anyway! I'm new to this P/Invoke stuff and I know I have quite an ability to overengineer simple things

 1STPROBLEM
PLEASE SEND ME A VERY SIMPLE CODE REGARDING HOW TO SHOW IMAGE IN C# USING A CLICK BUTTON OUTPUTS AN IMAGE FOR EXAMPLE THE BUTTON NAME IS HAT WHEN YOU CLICK THE BUTTON ITS OUTPUT IS AN IMAGE OF A HAT.I NEED A STEP BY STEP SOURCE CODE....
THE SECOND ONE:
SOURCE COULD THAT DEALS WITH FORMS,WHEN YOU PRESS A BUTTON IT INTRODUCE ANOTHER FORM.FOR EXAMPLE IN FORM1 THERE IS A BUTTON NAMED SECOND PAGE...WHEN YOU PRESS THE BUTTON YOU WILL BE TRANSFERED TO THE SECOND PAGE WHICH IS FORM2.

DON'T SHOUT - You aren't constrained to using uppercase only, you can use lower case as well.
Let me guess - your homework deadline is Thursday and you've left it until the last minute. I suggest that you get off your arse and actually do your own bloody homework. If you can't accomplish two simple tasks like this then a career in development is not for you.
Good grief - why do people think that we actually want to do their homework for them? Have you contracted some especially virulent form of lazy gene?

I am assuming this is a troll. A button that says hat and it shows a hat ? Doesn't sound like a normal homework assignment to me.

That and the fact that he looked like a geography teacher.

Close, but it still doesn't break rules #1, #7, #8 and #10 of the forum guidelines. Better luck next time.

I have local datasets where I read using the following function. The obj.Read() simply executes a stored procedure which is a select statement. For some reason, for my only dataset where I have 3 tables, the "this.EnforceConstraints = true;" statements fails saying the constratints where not respected (and it seems to happen only in debug, I never had a complain from the staff using the runtime), but this is not true for three reasons : the database is a copy of what the runtime environement uses, it is intermitenet even if the database does not change and the database has the same relations as the local dataset. (see below for the relations)
public void Read()
{
try
{
reading = true;
this.EnforceConstraints = false;
syncTime = DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime();
foreach (SimpleObjects obj in this.Tables)
{
obj.Read();
}
this.EnforceConstraints = true;
reading = false;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
....code.....
}
}
Relations : (Very simple)
Relations.Add(new DataRelation("MembersToMembersAssociations", Tables["Members"].Columns[0], Tables["MembersAssociations"].Columns[0]));
Relations.Add(new DataRelation("MembersToMembersPhoneNumbers", Tables["Members"].Columns[0], Tables["MembersPhoneNumbers"].Columns[1]));
This is very anoying for I am never sure if I delever a new version if the problem will affcet the runtime, Is it a bug in Visual Studio 2005 (version 8.0.50727)? Did anybody else encounter this problem ?

I have the following code:
myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "c:\\Program Files\\Winzip\\wzunzip.exe -o ";
When I try to use the "-o" switch I get an error of "The system cannot find the file specified
". Works fine without the switch.
How can I get this to work?
Working with 1.1.
Thanx for any input.

Use Arguments property of ProcessstartInfo class to specify "-o" switch

I'm working on an FTP client, and using sockets to receive data from a server. When the server sends any data back to the application, I have to wait before the application repsonds. I'd like to starts the transfer for the data in a new thread if possible, leaving the rest of the app free to respond to the user and not just show an hourglass. Is this possible? I'm unsure how to get the data back from the thread.
<br />
Socket socket = openSocket();<br />
SendCommand("MLSD");<br />
if(statusCode != 125 && statusCode != 150) {<br />
LogText = "Error opening connection\n";<br />
return;<br />
}<br />
DateTime timeOutDate = DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(timeOut);<br />
bldBuffer.Remove(0, bldBuffer.Length);<br />
while(DateTime.Now < timeOutDate) {<br />
int bytes = socket.Receive(buffer, buffer.Length, 0);<br />
bldBuffer.Append(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(buffer, 0, bytes));<br />
if(bytes < buffer.Length) {<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
socket.Close();<br />
OpenSocket() creates a new socket to the server, and SendCommand() send the specified command over the control connection. The application works, it's just that I have to wait for it to respond.
Thanks for any input.

Is there some reason you are not using the classes in System.Net namespace that implement the FTP protocol?Echilon wrote: I'd like to starts the transfer for the data in a new thread if possible
Look at the BackgroundWorker or something. It's in the toolbox you can just drop it on your form. There now you are all prepared to do multi-threaded development.
