I saw a recent article on codeproject.com with an managed code
implementation of C++ Templates for .NET. That might satisfy your curiosity
while you are waiting for the "next version" of C#.

I'm writing my first app that uses SQL Express to store a bunch of user
data (vice using a simple txt file, etc.), but I have a question that
you guys who've been doing this a while will probably laugh at.

Once I've completed my app, will I have to ship SQL Express with my app
in order for people to use my program?

Hi Todd,

Not necessarily.  If the user already has an SQL server he should be able to
use the existing one instead of adding a new.  If you put this as a
requirement to use your program you can leave it up to the user to take care
of it, but if it is likely that the user does not already have an SQL server
you should consider shipping SQL Express with your program.  There are some
licensing issues with this which I believe is only down to registering that
you intend to ship sql express along with your program

Yes - SQL Express needs to be present and isntalled at your customer's
site (or a full SQL Server version).

The "embedded" SQL Server that consists merely of a bunch of DLLs is
called "SQL Server Compact" - there you can ship everything with your
app, but it's limited in some ways.

Hi Matt,

>>The message pump really shouldn't matter.

Of course it matters. Its message pump is not only on a different thread but
in a different process. We could speculate for example that the 'child'
thread attempts to route its messages to the outer frame window or some
other one of yours and then attempts to call its WindowProc. But this is in
a different process so different address space so the Window proc address is
garbage to the 'child'. So maybe it gets an exception and swallows the
message. Who knows really, but I'd be surprised if you could get this to
work.

Well, as the OP already said...for most applications it works fine, and
for iTunes it works fine at least at first.

Actually, it is not entirely uncommon for one process to host the window
of another process within itself.  For example, OLE uses this for
out-of-proc servers.  Windows will send the messages to the appropriate
window via the appropriate message queue (and thus the appropriate message
pump), assuming everything else has been configured correctly.

It's been so long since I've ever done anything like this, I can't
personally help the OP.  And I really think that this newsgroup, where
most of the people are at the very least inexperienced with more
complicated unmanaged coding techniques, if not completely unfamiliar,
just isn't going to be a productive place to look for an answer.

It wouldn't surprise me if Willy or Ben, for example, know the answer to
the question but the fact is the OP is likely to have better luck in a
newsgroup where his question is actually on-topic.

TOPIC: Mime Type of a file

From: tinman77


Thanks in advance for everyone's help...

My problem is that more often than I would like, I get attachments
that for some reason or another do not include an extension. What I
want to do is create a C# app that based on a file on my hard drive
that I specify, will spit back to me the mime type. I can do the rest
from there.

I have looked, and looked and looked a little more for a way to
determine the type of a file that does not rely on the extension. So
far I have come up with next to nothing - a couple libraries that do
this but that's not what I'm looking for. I don't want to use a whole
extra just to find out what kind of file I have.

To clarify what I'm looking for, PHP has similar functionality using
the FileInfo class. Simple, easy and to the point. Does nothing like
this exist in C#? I have looked at different class on MSDN and
searched Google relentlessly but, I got nothing. I read something
about the Attachment class but I was having problems following the
documentation I found for it.

I have provided a general outline for the code I am looking for. Feel
free to correct me if my request is semi-outrageous.

myFile = "C:\screw-the-extension"
myFileObject = new File(myFile)
print myFileObject.MimeType

Any help is more than appreciated.

TOPIC: How to access a run time generated PictureBox on the form

From: "Jim McGivney"


In C# on Form1 I genetate an array of PictureBoxes and populate each with an
image as seen in the code below.
Later on I want to access a specific PictureBox to change its image,  but I
keep getting the error "The name 'PictureBox1' does not exist in the current
context"
The code I use to try to access the PictureBox is "PictureBox1[Target].Image
= HoldBitMap; "  where kount is an integer.
I know the answer is probably in using the Controls collection but I can't
get the syntax correct.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Jim


       private void InitializePictureBox()
       {
           //allocate the picture box
           PictureBox[] PictureBox1 = new PictureBox[1000];

           int j;
           int kount = 0;
           Random randObj = new Random(unchecked((int)

           for(i=0; i<8; i++)
           {
               for (j = 0; j < 6; j++)
               {
                   PictureBox1[kount] = new PictureBox();

                   // Set the location and size of the PictureBox control.
                   PictureBox1[kount].Location = new
System.Drawing.Point(100 * i, 100 * j);
                   PictureBox1[kount].Size = new System.Drawing.Size(99,
99);
                   PictureBox1[kount].TabStop = false;

                   // Set the SizeMode property to the StretchImage value.
This
                   // will shrink or enlarge the image as needed to fit
into
                   // the PictureBox.
                   PictureBox1[kount].SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.Zoom;
//    .StretchImage;

                   // Set the border style to a three-dimensional border.
                   PictureBox1[kount].BorderStyle = BorderStyle.Fixed3D;

                   //Wire the picture boxes click to new common click
handler.

                   PictureBox1[kount].Tag = kount;
                   // Add the PictureBox to the form.

You could indeed use the controls collection.  However, it would be easier
and more reliable for you to just declare your array as an instance member
in your class, rather than as a local variable as you've done in the code
you posted.  Then the array would be available anywhere in your class,
rather than just that one method.

From: Mark


What I want to do is bring data into an excel 2007 worksheet that is stored
in a sql database table.

The idea is to parameterize the "where" clause in the sql select statement
limiting the result set.

There are lots of examples in the literature with regard to bringing in data
stored in cubes --- but not so much from data in sql table.

The basic issue is I want bring in descriptive information about say a
contract (things like description, signing date, etc).  Cubes which most
(all) of the literature deals with are dealing with aggregations of amounts
or "measures" and not so much about descriptions.

As always all suggestions are welcome.

Hi Dave,

As for HttpWebRequest component, if you want to maintain cookies between
multiple WebRequest instances(and webrequest calls), you need to create an
CookieContainer instance and attach it to the WebRequest.CookieContainer
property.

Also, if you want the cookies to share between multiple WebRequest
instances, you need to make sure all of those WebRequest instances use the
same cookie container.

here are some web thread that also mentioned some code that use
CookieContainer:

Hi Gidi,

I haven't tested it, but in your printing code I believe you should be able
to adjust the Graphics object to scale down to 70% the normal size, which
would cause the printed output to be reduced to 70% as well.

Hi

Thanks again for the reply. I will be glad if you can look into the
following point.

1 - As per this
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/hi-in/library/34yytbws(en-us,VS.80).aspx) MSDN
article, .NET having two types of value-types. Built in and user-defined.
They say user defined types are derived from "System.ValueType". But what
about int32, boolean etc ? Is that also derived from "System.ValueType" ?

2 - IL allows deriving from System.ValueType. But why C# is restricting us
to derive from that ? any ideas ?

Thanks again

Navaneeth

"The scope of a namespace member declared by a namespace-member-
declaration within a namespace-declaration whose fully qualified name
is N, is the namespace-body of every namespace-declaration whose fully
qualified
name is N or starts with N, followed by a period."

so which one is better? or perferred?

In that particular case, yes.  But, like Jon said, it can make a
difference.  I discovered this oddity and posted it in this group
quite some time ago hoping someone could point me to the section in
the specification that discusses it.  I did some scouring of my own
and I believe the crucial section is 10.7 (ECMA) where it says:

"The scope of a namespace member declared by a namespace-member-
declaration within a namespace-declaration whose fully qualified name
is N, is the
namespace-body of every namespace-declaration whose fully qualified
name is N
or starts with N, followed by a period."

Clear as mud huh?

Well, is there a column named "Amount"?

Note that a *column* named "Amount" is different to a column that is
mapped to the *property* named "Amount"...
