I spent most of the day today making a bese64 encoder/decoder in c# and I just finished it now. 5 min l8r, I found out that .NET has a builtin class to encode/decode base64 strings. So many wasted hours =(. But both of our encoders/decoders work =)

Hi, I'm trying to send an object across a network and I'm trying to implement serialization but I'm not doing it right. I tried searching for tutorials and articles but they're for C#. [Serializable] __gc class FileTransferHeader { public: FileTransferHeader(String* theFileName, Int64 theFileSize); __property Int64 get_Size(){return fileSize;} __property String* get_Name(); private: Char fileName __nogc[256]; Int64 fileSize; Int16 fileNameLength; }; and later in some other class that has a networkstream, and a BinaryFormatter() and an object of type FileTransferHeader named theHeader. I try theBinaryFormatter->Serialize(theNetworkStream, theHeader); and I get an UE. Unhandled Exception: System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: The type $ArrayType$0x2984d64b in Assembly WinsockContinued, Version=1.0.792.39872, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null is not marked as serializable. -------------------------- One problem with the programmer's mentality is insecurity.

and how do you tell the compiler NOT to compile to native code =) I didn't know about these options, so I'm only asking for my own knowledge -------------------------- One problem with the programmer's mentality is insecurity.

when I try calling it from outside the constructor, it won't close. What I'm going to try doing is A), create the window in a new background thread and have the foreground thread close it in 3 seconds or B)have the constructor of the new form take a variable.... incomplete thought as of now, will try A) 1st =) ------ The background worker thread method worked __gc class heh: public Form { public: heh() { Size = System::Drawing::Size(300,300); Text = "I Should be gone soon"; } }; __gc class test: public Form { heh* mm; void popup(){ mm->ShowDialog(); } public: test() { Text = "Base Form"; mm = new heh(); Thread* worker = new Thread(new ThreadStart(this, &test::popup)); worker->IsBackground = true; worker->Start(); Thread::Sleep(100); mm->Close(); worker->Abort(); } }; -------------------------- One problem with the programmer's mentality is insecurity.

I'm trying to make a popup window, that closes after it executes several functions but it doesn't work because the form stays open. I tried 2 ways, __gc class test1: public Form { public: test1() { Close(); } };//stays open __gc class test: public Form { public: __delegate void delegate(); void close(){Close();} test() { delegate* pDelegate = new delegate(this, &test::close); pDelegate->Invoke(); } };//stays open -------------------------- One problem with the programmer's mentality is insecurity.

hi, I have a textbox on a form that gets updated by the users, it's sort of like a log of events. The problem I'm having is, I don't know how to add a newline. I'm VB.NET, I got it to work by doing txtLog.AppendText(Format(TimeOfDay, "hh:mm ") & stgEventName & txtMessage.Text & vbNewLine) which concated the current time, the event name, the event message with a visualbasic_newline and it would look like: 14:34 POP3 email received 18:24 FTP received connection request from IP 24.29.165.87 18:38 FTP received connection request from IP 24.29.165.87 18:28 FTP received connection request from IP 24.29.165.87 but in Managed C++, it's coming out like 14:34 POP3 email received 18:24 FTP received connection request from IP 24.29.165.87 18:38 FTP received connection request from IP 24.29.165.87 18:28 FTP received connection request from IP 24.29.165.87 I tried doing: String* message = IncomingEvent; message->Concat(message, "\r\n"); ChatBox->AppendText(message); but to no avail =( -------------------------- One problem with the programmer's mentality is insecurity.

How do you make managed c++ programs run on other computers that don't have Visual Studio.NET installed. I installed dotnetfx.exe on a win2k and winme machine and ran a managed c++ program that creates a form but it doesn't work. -------------------------- One problem with the programmer's mentality is insecurity.
