Hi there,
How can I link a Bitmap object to a Graphics object in C#?
In C++ we can do this:
Bitmap bmp(100, 100, PixelFormat32Bpp);
Graphics memGraphics(&bmp);
How to do the same in C#?
This does not work in C# 
Bitmap bmp(100, 100);
Graphics memGraphics(bmp);
Best regards.
Thanks.

hey,
im coding a system in c#...i have got four buttons that link to four diff departments
in the system. these buttons when clicked, opens up the same dialog box which requires a username and
password to access to the respective parts of the system(according to the buttons).
the user name and password is different for each department is it possible for me to use "if else" statements to check
the passwords from the database(SQL).
i've coded in plain english just to check if its logic and possible
private void btnOK_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) //ok button on the password dialog box
{
if (btnReg was clicked)
{
check for user name and password in the REG table
if (username and password is correct)
{
allow access
}
else
{
messagebox saying incorrect password
}
}
if (btnDiag was clicked)
{
check for user name and password in the DIAG table
if (username and password is correct)
{
allow access
}
else
{
messagebox saying incorrect password
}
}
}
and so on for the rest of the buttons....
if this is not possible...then is there anyway i can do this...or do i have to code four different password dialog boxes for
each of the buttons which will not be very good for the system, design wise and also extra coding....arrrgghh!! HELP!!

I take it all of the buttons are wired up to the same event?
If so the 'sender' variable is the textbox 'sending' the 'on_click' event. You can then cast the sender variable to a control of type 'textbox'
[code]
TetxtBox txt = (TextBox)s;
[/code]
and evaluate the id etc with either a switch/case statement as below...
[code]
switch(txt.ID)
{
case "ID1":
//Function to check password 1
break;
case "ID2":
//Function to check password 2
break;
case "ID3":
//Function to check password 3
break;
case "ID4":
//Function to check password 4
break;
default:
//Default password failure?
break;
}
[/code]
...or with an If Else statement, that would be up to you. Of course you're password checking could be all nicely wrapped up in it's own class etc.
Hope this is in any way helpful...

Before showing the dialog, set a property you'd add to the Form that dictates which button was clicked, like an enumeration for example (provides easy value checking to make sure an invalid enumeration wasn't passed in - see Enum.IsDefined).
You could also use a generic prompt Form that has a username and password property that gets the text from their respective TextBox controls in the Form and, if ShowDialog returned DialogResult.OK handle the code in each one of the Click event handlers for the departmental Buttons. If you put this in a terminating loop (for which you can always use break to break out of it if the credentials were authenticated successfully), the dialog could be shown multiple times - even using the same instance. Just don't forget to call Dispose when you're finally done with the Form to free system resources, which is necessary for modal dialogs (i.e., when calling Form.ShowDialog, which has to do with the underlying native resources used by the Form).
There's many other ways you can do this. Personally, I would've invoked the call on some sort of broker since your code to check the database is most likely the same except for, perhaps, the connection string and the query string. If you passed an instance of an object configured with the write departmental connection and query strings, the prompt could simply call a single method and know whether or not the credentials are valid without even knowing which department is authenticating the credentials. After all, it's just a generic prompt dialog - why should it care about how to authenticate credentials. Just use the power of polymorphism. For instance, if you have an interface like so:
public interface IAuthenticator
{
bool Authenticate(string username, string password);
}...and had a property that takes an instance of this interface (by declaring a property of Type IAuthenticator), then when the user tries clicks OK (or Login, or whatever) you make sure this property isn't null and call Authenticate on the instance. Any code that wants to authenticate credentials merely implements this interface and provides a specific implementation of Authenticate. This is a good abstract design.

Hi there,
I’m a long time programmer of C++ and a great fan of the Standard Template Library (STL). I’ve recently started working on C# and find that my beloved vector template doesn’t exist.
To get round the problem of creating a container of class objects I have to implement a whole new class that derives from System.Collections.CollectionBase for the container and then another class to deal with enumeration.
I realise that C# is strongly typed and that is the reason for creating your own containers but does anyone know how I could get round this to create a template class.
Cheers.

Wait for the next version of C# which includes generics (C# equiv. of templates)... I can hardly contain myself. That is one of the things I miss from C++.

Thanks for the quick response.
Any idea when C#2.0 is due to be released?

Yeah me too. Actually, C# generics should be an improvement over our C++ templates; templates are nothing but "exalted macros" as I once read, with the compiler swapping values in at compile time. C# generics will have a JIT'd version of the actual generic code you write, and reuse that JIT'd code across all the types of that generic class.
Fun fun fun stuff. I just hope it will be released in the spring or summer this year.
The graveyards are filled with indispensible men.

You can always use a generic collection or list class like ArrayList. It won't give you strongly-typed params (also, C# isn't strongly-typed, .NET is), but .NET is a true object-oriented framework and adding, for example, a Control to an ArrayList (which accepts Objects) is still a Control in the list. GetType (inheritted from Object) will always return the right Type.
I realize this is probably not what you want and as Colin said, .NET 2.0 (due to release in late 2004 I would imagine, since the end of the year was the release date for 1.0 and 1.1) will include generics. I just wanted to point out that you don't need to worry about using appropriately Typed parameters. After all, when you extend the CollectionBase class and use either List or InnerList (and if you don't, then don't waste time by deriving from CollectionBase), both of those are an instance of the same ArrayList.

You can also use Chris Sells' excellent CollectionGen in the meantime.

You can create a windows control and put a button+datagrid in it or subclass datagrid or datagridcolumn and start from there.

Is there any build in functionality to parse standard query string like this:
string1=hello+dear+friend%21&string2=otherdata+here+%25%26
Anything in the framework?
If not I'll write it, should I put it here as an article?

If you're trying to parse the query string from an ASP.NET page (like an .aspx file), you can use Request.QueryString or Request.Params (combination of POST and GET variables). When getting the value from the parameter dictionary, the values are automatically decoded.
Otherwise, there is many ways this can be parsed, like using String.Split with the &, the doing the same to split the key/value pairs using the = character. The HttpUtility class has both a UrlDecode and UrlEncode method, both overloaded.

Thanx for the tip, but unfortunatly "UrlDecode" didn't work ok with some national characters like 'Ö'. So I wrote my own, and it works ok, using Uri.HexDecode.

The problem is simple:
I need to launch the default mail client (mailto: won't help here), open a new message and add some attachments to it. I need to do the same as when the user right-clicks a file and selects "Send to->Mail recipient". I need a solution that works for all mail clients and not just Outlook... and I need it quickly
