Hi,
I'm just wondering if a class with the [Serializable] attribute could be serialized to an XML file. Whats the easiest way? Where to start reading?
Thanks in advance,
Matthias
If eell I ,nust draw to your atenttion to het fakt that I can splel perfrectly well - i;ts my typeying that sukcs.

The SerializableAttribute has nothing to do with XML Serialization (only Runtime Serialization).
Any class can be serialized using XML Serializer (see the documentation for the XmlSerializer class in the .NET Framework SDK). Only public properties and fields are serialized, however. You can use the XML Serialization attributes (read about the classes in the System.Xml.Serialization namespace), such as the element or attribute name for a property, the data type (if you want to override the default behavior), the namespace of a class or element, etc.
Read the class documentation for the XmlSerializer in the .NET Framework SDK. There are links to a lot of topics in the .NET Framework SDK as well as several good examples and snippets of code.

Hi..
I have a tabcontrol on a Form..On this i am adding few tabpages..On the first tabpage I used few labels and edit boxes..in the last i used a texbox control..After displaying this tabpage i am able to see all controls properly but in case of listbox control the vertical bar down arrow is missing..

Hi
Can you send a from to check the problem, please
|
|

|

Unless ScrollAlwaysVisible is set to true, your scroll bar will not appear unless more items than the ListBox can display at a time are present.
If this is not the problem, please be a little more descriptive, such as posting a snippet of relevant code (please do not post the whole thing), describing what you're doing with the ListBox, etc. We can't see your code nor do we know it. Unless you're specific about a problem, we really can't help you.

That was not my problem..I am able to see the vertical scroll bar correctly but the down arrow in that scroll bar is missing..I want to put a snapshot of it as an attachement..But i am not able to find how i can do tht in this forum..can u plz tell me so that i can send a snapshot..
Thanks

Most likely your control is being clipped. Make sure that the entire ListBox control is within the client region of the TabPage. If you can resize the TabControl, make sure you set the Anchor or Dock properties for your ListBox accordingly.

Use Alt-Print Scrn.
Then go to MSPaint.
Press Ctrl-V.
Save as desired image format and post it!.

I have a custom class called Invoice, which has a property Customer. This property Contains a reference to a customer class.
I want to bind a combobox to a the list of customers and bind the selected value to my Customer property. How can I do this?
"Every rule in a world of bits and bytes can be bend or eventually be broken"

Bind the ComboBox to your Customers property, and set the DisplayMember and ValueMember to the properties for a Customer class that you want to bind:
comboBox1.DisplayMember = "Name";
comboBox1.ValueMember = "ID";
comboBox1.DataSource = someObject.Customers; See the property documentation for the ListControl.DataSource property for more information and an example (ComboBox extends ListControl).

Hi All
I am calling the function from DLL using InteropServices. But when i called the function that accept the string as parameter NullReference exception is thrown.
Actual function signature:
int GetName(int pModel, int iVar, char *pszVarname);
Function Signature for C#:
[DllImport("C:\\MyFunctions.dll")]
public static extern int GetName(int nProb, int nIndex, ref string sVarName);
Fuction Call:
string sVarName;
int nErrCode, i;
i = 14;
sVarName = "x123456";
nErrCode = GetName(nProb,i, ref sVarName); //Getting NullReferenceException
Thanks in advance

Don't ref the string. A char* is a string. The signature in C# should be (and loose the path - put the DLL in a directory in your PATH environment variable, or the current application directory):
[DllImport("MyFunctions.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Ansi)]
public static extern int GetName(int nProb, int nIndex, string sVarName);Also notice the CharSet field in the DllImportAttribute. .NET deals with Unicode strings. If you don't specify a CharSet, CharSet.Ansi is used by default for C# and VB.NET, but it's still a good idea to specify it for readability.
Also notice there's no out or ref keyword for the sVarName parameter (which, by the way, can be called anything you want). A String (C# alias string) is already a reference type.
Also, if you want your code to be portable, those int parameters and return should actually be IntPtr. An int in C/C++ is a processor-dependent bit width (i.e., 32 bits on a 32-bit CPU, 64 bits on a 64-bit CPU). int in .NET (an Int32, actually) is always 32 bits. When .NET 2.0 is released and if your code runs on a 64-bit platform (and your native DLL is recompiled for a 64-bit platform), your call will fail.
Finally, never make P/Invoke'd methods public (unless the class that declares them is private or internal). Native function calls are unmanaged, so the CLR can't determine if someone would exploit your code. Depending on your native implementation, someone could easily perform a buffer overrun using the string variable and the CLR couldn't prevent it because it's unmanaged. P/Invoke'd methods are typically wrapped in a class that encapsulates the functionality that you're trying to use in a native DLL. Many classes throughout the .NET Framework Class Library (FCL) - such as every Control in Windows Forms - does this.

hi all...
i am hoping this is a simple request, but, i have developed a Java web service running under LINUX, and from what i can see, the service is coming up quite nicely... but...
i am using a C# app to call the web service, and i keep on getting a java.rmi.RemoteException coming up during debug, but no info on what that exception has in it...
is there any way of getting the exception message so i can handle it?
cheers and thanks in advance...

Where is the exception occuring? On the client or server? Unless the generated web service proxy also contains a definition of the java.rmi.RemoteException, this information wouldn't be available to the client because that exception doesn't exist in the .NET FCL. The exception on the client should've been wrapped in a generic Exception (typically). Depending on mappings, the Message property may or may not have a message associated with it (other than any generic, default message that might be configured).

hi heath...
thanks for the quick response...
long story short, the error is occuring at the server end (on a LINUX server running AXIS)...
i would suggest that the web service proxy doesn't have the definition as the Java2WSDL and WSDL2Java are, from my understanding, not designed with .NET clients in mind...
i am wondering 'how' i am meant to go about wrapping the exception, or if there is a better way you could suggest...
thanks again, i appreciate the help...
cheers

You don't wrap it. If an exception occurs, the client should see it, even if it's a generic error wrapped in an Exception class.
If you're getting an exception on the server, you'll simply need to debug what's going on.
There are problems when mixing Java and .NET for web services, typically when you use types that either aren't correctly defined in the WSDL. The class generator (same as wsdl.exe on the command-line) might not be generating the right classes.
Without specifics, it's hard to say.

hmm... no probs...
please tell what specifics you need that will help you help me...
as for the class itself, the interface is from memory (as the code is at work)...
<br />
public interface SysReport extends (...)<br />
{<br />
java.lang.String[] runReport(java.lang.String var1,..., java.lang.String[] err);<br />
}<br />
there are whole lot of variables in the middle, which i just can't remember right now, but i will send them once i get to work...
cheers and thanks for your help so far...

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has seen an example of how one can send an HTTPWebRequest, passing in a schema to define what information your sending and have an app, aspx? file retrieve process the request and send a response
Kind Regards,
Rik

|

You just need to upload the file via POST. If you look at the HttpWebRequest.GetRequestStream method documentation in the .NET Framework SDK, you'll find a nice example.
Note that this uses POST, though, not GET (which uses the query string). Sending a schema via GET is riddled with problems, one of which is size restrictions. A GET query string can only be so long (128 bytes, IIRC), and schemas can easily break that barrier.
In ASP.NET, there is an easy way to get files that are uploaded. See the HttpRequest.Files property documentation in the SDK. Use Page.Request to get the HttpRequest, then enumerate the Files property. Do what you need with the schema then send your response using the Page.Response property (an HttpResponse).

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to compile my C# class into DLL but unfortunately, the csc command is missing. "csc is not recognized as internal/external command." Is there any other way to compile it. I developed the class using VS .net under c#. Please if you could help me by directing me to sites that has the solution...
thanks in advance i'm a little bit in a hurry becuase of the deadline.

Why not just go and change the properties of the solution. Change the output type to class library in the output type of the general tab in common properties. Build your solution, go to your debug folder and collect your dll from there.

If you're not using VS.NET, you either need to type the fully qualified path to csc.exe or add the directory it's in to your PATH environment variable (recommended so you don't need to type the path all the time). For .NET 1.0 and 1.1, the paths are listed below:- .NET 1.0: %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705
- .NET 1.1: %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322
