In this case you're not really using the conversion methods to convert from one type to another, but to allow the designer (in this case, the PropertyGrid) to edit properties of your type and - for value types - to create a new instance in order to set those properties.

This seems to work fine in a Windows Form application but fails in a Class Library, why?
My App.config says:
<configuration>
<appsettings>
<add key="hypSOAPMaxJobsPerMailer" value="10">
if I issue a ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.HasKeys() in a Class Library it tells me FALSE, but in a windows form app it tells me TRUE!!?
What am I missing?

Sorry, this is the content of the App.config file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="hypSOAPMaxJobsPerMailer" value="10" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>

Because the executable loader only associates .config files for the AppDomain for applications (.exe), not libraries (.dll; this is documented). A library will use the settings specified for an application's .config file in which the library is loaded and mapped.

hi, i have a drawing using GDI+ in a function Drawpicture(Graphics a) n I called it in
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
Drawpicture(e.Graphics)
}
However, i want it to be on the picturebox. i tried calling it like this:
private void pictureBox1_Paint(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e)
{
Drawpicture(e.Graphics)
}
but it won't work. Plz help. thanks

When overriding OnEventName methods you should almost always call base.OnEventName name to make sure that the events gets fired. If you don't, even handlers are called and other operations that may be pertinent to the operation won't run (your override is called in lieu of the member you're overriding; the base member will not be called automatically).

You're going to have to be a little more clear than that. Are you getting exceptions? Is your method even being called (i.e., you should debug your code first)? Is it called but nothing appears?

hi, erm there are no error. currently i'm drawing it directly onto the form. i only draw it onto the form when i click a button.
//initially,set picturebox enable properties as false;
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
base.OnPaint(e);
if(pictureBox.Enabled == true)
{
Drawpicture(e.Graphics);
}
}
private void Drawpicture(Graphics a)
{
Graphics myGraphics = CreateGraphics();
....
}
private void button2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
pictureBox.Enabled = true;
}
By doing this, i display my drawing onto the form when the button is click. However, i want to display it into the pictureBox when the button is click. How should i do that.

Maybe I'm reading this incorrectly but isn't this what you want:
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
base.OnPaint(e);
if(pictureBox.Enabled == true)
{
pictureBox.Image = CreateGraphics();
}
}

I would make a custom PictureBox by inheriting a new class from PictureBox and giving it an override to its OnPaint method.
In the constructor for your new PictureBox inheritor you make these calls:
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint, true);
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, true); this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer, true);
I understand these enable the control to draw itself in an efficient manner. Hope that helps. Please try to be more specific and plz is not a word.

If you want to draw on the PictureBox, then you can't draw on the Form. The painting operation has to occur for the control on which you're actually painting.

Hi,
my problem is the following: I have a class called MyClass. A second class MyDerivedClass is derived from MyClass. A third class MyTwoTimesDerivedClass is derived from MyDerivedClass. Now I have some public variables and Methods in MyClass, which I want to use in MyDerivedClass. But I don't want them to be part of MyTwoTimesDerivedClass. How can I prevent them from being derived further?
Thanks,
Benjamin

That indicates there's a fundamental problem in your OO design that you may want to consider changing. Derivative child classes are supposed to inherit or override functionality from their parent classes. That's what polymorphism is all about (well, about the overriding, mostly).
You could defined the members as virtual in MyClass and override them in MyTwoTimesDerivedClass, only to throw a NotImplementedException or NotSupportedException. Furthermore, you can hide these from both the component designer and source code editor using the appropriate attributes like so:
[
Browsable(false),
EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)
]
public override void BaseMethod()
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}That will hide them, but you can't "undefine" an inheritted member.

You mark a method in MyDerivedClass "sealed" which would mean MyTwoTimesDerivedClass cannot override it, but that doesnt hide it from them as stated in the post above.
public class MyClass
{
public virtual void DoSomething(){}
}
public class MyDerivedClass : MyClass
{
public override sealed DoSomething(){}
}
public class MyTwoTimesDerivedClass : MyDerivedClass
{
}

1. Post a reply to the parent post, not mine. You're replying to him. I know very well what the sealed keyword does. 
2. That's not actually what he asked. The original post was about "un-inheritting" methods from a base class. Yes, sealed may be a good idea to use so derivative classes couldn't override and re-implement the methods, but - as I mentioned - the fundamental flaw is with his OO design. He shouldn't extend classes if he absolutely does not want to inherit their functionality. All you can do in these cases is hide members and either get/set/return the base class's member value or throw an exception. This is actually done in many places throughout the Windows Forms classes in the BCL, but only because the class members don't make sense in some cases (not to stop you from using them).

Hello,
I have a little problem. Maybe someone here can help me.
The problem is: My program (written in C# .NET) calls a COM-Server. This Server works a little bit and then he sent me the Results back in a callback-method. This method is open by the COM-Server in a new Thread. So far so god.
After I became this results I have to sent the next command to the server. But before I can sent a new command, I have to release the complete callback-method from the COM-Server. But I can’t close this method before sending the new command.
At the moment I open a new Tread in this callback-method. This new Thread sent the new command after the old Thread closed. But sometimes the old Thread closed not so fast and then it crashes.
Is there a any standard way to solve this Problem?
Can someone help me?
Sorry for my English

What's the threading model of the COM server?
If you're objective is to send the next command back to the server in the first thread (the thread on which your proxy was instantiated), then you need to invoke a method on that thread. If you're calling methods on your proxy from a Windows Forms control or form, you can use Control.Invoke. The Framework handles calling the method on the thread on which the control was created if you call it right. For example:
delegate void SendCommandHandler(string command);
void SendCommand(string command)
{
}
void Callback()
{
if (InvokeRequired)
{
SendCommandHandler d = new SendCommandHandler(SendCommand);
Invoke(d, new object[] {"DO SOMETHING"});
}
else SendCommand("DO SOMETHING");
}

At first: Tanks for this Information,
The COM-Server is a STA Server but I can use only one Apartment at the same time, because the Server needs very mutch Performance.
So the problem is not to start a new Thread. (The invoke command is very nice) At the moment I sent the next command in a other Tread too, but it starts like this:
SentCommand wrapper=new SentCommand(Thread.CurrentThread,myobject);<br />
ThreadStart ts=new ThreadStart(wrapper.SentNewCommand);<br />
Thread SecondThread = new Thread(ts);<br />
SecondThread.Start();
The real Problem is the speed of the second Thread. When I start the second Thread from the Callback-Tread both Thread exist at the same Time. So if the Second Thread is too fast and sent the new command before the Callback-tread is closed -> it crashes. So I think its not important if the Second-Thread is a new one or a existing GUI-Tread (Control).
I tried to synchronise this 2 Treads like this:
if (CallbackThread != null) <br />
{<br />
if (CallbackThread.IsAlive)<br />
{<br />
CallbackThread.Abort();<br />
}<br />
}
but it doesn’t work.

What you're doing isn't synchronizing thread access - you need locks for that. The C# lock statement does just that. Define a static object initialized to an instance of something. In your case, you could also synchronize against this since your .NET component is running in an apartment.
The lock uses a Monitor. There's also Mutex and various events you can signal. I suggest you read through the documentation for the namespace members in System.Threading. There's a lot of ways you can correctly synchronize thread access.

Can somebody please give me some sample code
to play wav files through a TAPI interphase.
Thanx...

It's been said many times before in this forum (just Search first!), and as recently as yesterday, the TAPI 3.0 wrapper is heavily rumored to have problems, so you'll have to use a custom written TAPI 2.0 wrapper. You can find such an example here[^] on GotDotNet.

Hello,
I would like some help on the next problem I've encountered.
I want to know on my mainform if a child form was closed using the close-x of the window.
Microsoft says that you have the OnMdiChildActivate methode but this happens,
I quote "Occurs when a multiple document interface (MDI) child form is activated or closed within an MDI application."
Can anyone help?
|
|
|
|
|
Assuming the child has a reference to the mainform, then just give mainform a ChildClosed member, and put something like
parent.ChildClosed(this); in the close handler for the child form

Sorry,
I'm just a beginner, so put something like... is a bit to non-specific for me.
Can you give a bit more details please.
Like what do you mean with a ChildClosed member?
